Multiple Brands - The Bridge Garage, Northover, Ilchester, Somerset 1950's
The road pictured here is the Fosse Way, one of the main Roman roads through England. In fact it was an established route even before the Romans came in the first place. More recently it was once the main A303 route but later on a bypass was built and this road was downgraded to the B3151. This garage is called the Bridge Garage and the only bridge in the area is between Ilchester and Northover crossing the river Yeo. There is still to this day a filling station here branded Texaco and one can only assume that it is the same site as the postcard shows. www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.0033126,-2.6817984,3a,75y,26.93...
