Ex BFL - Castle Hill Garage, New Buckenham, Norfolk
This place clearly no longer sells fuel but it is apparently England's foremost centre for Reliant Robins! The Google Streetview images of different years makes for some nice changes. In 2008 the site was considerably covered in grass/weeds with only a narrow tarmac route in and out. The pumps were branded UK and the tired looking totem branded BFL. www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.4710783,1.0700902,3a,37.5y,218.... By 2012 the forecourt is looking rather tidier and the totem has a nice new BFL sign. www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.4711052,1.0701368,3a,37.5y,228.... Four years further on from that in my photo and the whole site is fenced off - two years after that and the site was sold and subsequently demolished with two new houses going in its place.
Edit Update:- Some older photos of this site have surfaced now, from days when it was better looked after. It was a Fina branded site in the later 1960s changing to Mobil by 1970. I'll add a few of the best images below in the comments.
