Esso - Tanker Driver's Strike, Rainham, Essex 24th October 1953
Troops are called in to make the fuel deliveries with the tanker drivers out on strike. There is still an Esso garage in Rainham, whether or not it's the same place is open to speculation. It might be the building just beyond the filling station with MOT signs on the frontage. If it is then a second floor has been added since this photo was taken. www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.525894,0.1675352,3a,75y,337.17h...
But apparently it isn't - the actual location was here - the name Silverline can still be seen on the front of the building. - thanks to Sandy Glen on Facebook.
