Shell - Castle Street, Holt, Flintshire 1960 2
Fortunately a second shot was taken and now although in the distance the Shell garage is more apparent. The location given for this slide is Castle Street, Hope, Flintshire but I'm really not convinced - can't find the large church in that area at all. Also Hope isn't anywhere near the A534. Wherever it is, it's 4 1/2 miles from Wrexham! I was right, it's Holt and the garage still exists under the name Castle Garage as of Streetview 2009 and opposite there appears to have been a second garage possibly branded Burmah from one remaining sign in the earliest Streetview shot. Same view today...... www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.07697,-2.8832385,3a,75y,90t/dat... and here's the evidence of the Burmah garage opposite www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.0775761,-2.8828152,3a,15y,168.2...
