BP and Shell, Alcombe, Minehead, Somerset early 60's
This photo and the next one are two shots of the same garage but taken from either side and a few years apart. Here there appears to be a second outlet on the far left with a BP sign just showing. There is also a National Benzole sign at ground level. Over to the right and there is both BP and Shell for sale - the second photo shows only BP being sold. Incredible really to acquire two photos of the same place from so far back in the same week from different sellers on Ebay! The same view today - still a garage there but no petrol sales anymore and the site on the left is now houses......... www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.1969811,-3.4671816,3a,75y,315.2...
