Multiple Brands - Burbridges, Humberstone Road, Leicester late 1920's
Chalk and cheese, this and the next one - here a lavish urban filling station just opened and looking really pristine as shown in a local newspaper from which this cutting is taken. BP, Shell, National and Power are all available and the large billboards surrounding the site are a pleasure to see. The attendant is waiting patiently for custom to arrive. I reckon this is the same location today, still a petrol station serving Texaco fuels. The building in the background looks right. www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.6390181,-1.1199956,3a,75y,278.2...
