Multiple Brands - Grove Garage, Dorchester, Dorset 1950's
This scene has undergone a fairly radical transformation over the last half century. The statue of Hardy is still there of course - and that's Thomas Hardy and not Oliver Hardy! Everything else has gone save the road - all the buildings we see here have been totally demolished and new flats built. As for the Grove Garage, I imagine it lasted into the 1970's and then probably met its demise. Shell and BP on sale here, guessing the date as 1950's but pretty sure that's right. www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.7150792,-2.4415854,3a,75y,349.4...
