Texaco - Bewdley, Worcestershire Aug 1980
I was pretty amazed when this photo turned up - it's essentially an identical shot to one I took from the very same heritage railway a few years ago and one that has been my cover photo on here since I first joined. Normally one would expect to have the old photo first and then go out and replicate that shot in the present day but on this occasion I took the "present day" photo in June 2014 and then just over four years later I acquire this one taken in 1980. Unusual to see all the Firestone tyres stacked up along the edge of the site like that - especially one giant tractor tyre suspended from a frame. Below is my shot of the same place - still Texaco after forty years!
