Multiple Brands - Caffyn's Garage, Heathfield, East Sussex 1960ish
This is the 3,000th photo of a petrol station/garage I have uploaded so wanted to make sure it was a good one! I have two pictures of this very same spot - this one from the 1950's I think. Here we see Caffyn's garage still with multiple brands available. Pump globes that are clear include Shell, BP and National but the furthest one appears to be branded Esso. If this is the case it's almost certainly pre 1954. The same view today is quite shocking, the re-development of the site took place in the last decade as Streetview clearly shows. Here's the same view today www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.9703603,0.2473529,3a,75y,72.17h... but the view from 2009 shows the original buildings still in place. www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.9703372,0.2473025,3a,75y,72.17h...
