Gold Hill, the steep cobbled street voted the setting of Britain’s favourite advertisement of all time after the 1973 Hovis ‘Boy on Bike’ commercial was filmed here, runs beside the surviving boundary wall of Shaftesbury Abbey, founded by Alfred the Great in the late 880s as a religious community for women. A flat battery on Gold Hill, a breakdown near the Abbey ruins, or a car on the A30 or A350 all need an operator who knows the town, which is exactly what car recovery in Shaftesbury SP7 arranges through CityGrip.

Local coverage across Shaftesbury
We cover the whole of SP7: Gold Hill border, Shaftesbury Abbey ruins border, Abbey precinct walls border, Shaftesbury town centre border, High Street border. Whether you are on a main road, in a town-centre car park, a residents’ street or a farm track on the edge of town, we can reach you and get the vehicle moving, the battery started, or the car safely recovered.
Our network knows the key Shaftesbury routes: the A30 and A350 meeting at the town, and the approach to Gold Hill, the steep cobbled street that became the setting for the 1973 ‘Boy on Bike’ Hovis advertisement, directed by Ridley Scott and voted Britain’s favourite advertisement of all time, even though its Northern-accented voiceover and brass band gave the impression of Yorkshire rather than Dorset. Gold Hill runs alongside the surviving southern boundary wall of Shaftesbury Abbey, founded in the late 880s by Alfred the Great as a religious community for women, with his daughter Aethelgifu installed as its first Abbess.
The scheduled precinct walls beside Gold Hill are thought to date from the 1360s, when the Abbey was given royal permission to build town defences, and the steep cobbled street’s fame still draws a steady stream of visitors quite different from the everyday traffic on the A30 and A350. Car recovery in Shaftesbury SP7 tells Gold Hill’s visitor traffic apart from the everyday through-traffic on the main roads.

A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind a barrier and do not place a triangle.
