AS24 - Truck Stop, A5183 Flamstead, Hertfordshire 3
Hard to work out exactly what the situation is with this truck stop. Still showing Esso on the canopy but otherwise appearing to be more independent, I am guessing this was the original services for all vehicles but over time a new one was built for cars which is right next door and this was converted to lorries only. No clues on Google Streetview, it looked almost exactly the same on the earliest photo there. The totem here has been painted over and with an all red background and the shape it is if I had to say what brand was on it I would not say Esso though I am not sure what brand it would have been - possibly an old style Shell totem given the other site next door was also once Shell. The canopy was once painted all blue too. www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.823208,-0.4258522,3a,75y,312.02...
