Anglo - Ashcroft Service Station, St Helens, Lancashire 1993 2
This photo is easy to know the date as it appears on the photo itself - 2nd March 1993 - and checking the price of four star in that era corroborates the date. The garage still exists today - there have been a few changes of brand over recent years - Google Streetview shows this as in independent branded ASS in April 2009 - presumably standing for Ashcroft Service Station. www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.4525119,-2.7185738,3a,75y,301.3... By 2016 it was branded as Pace www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.4525253,-2.7185584,3a,75y,301.3... and in the present day it is now branded Gulf www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.4525214,-2.7185925,3a,75y,301.3... - that change having happened in the last year or so.
