Pool Petrol - County Motors, Northwood Hills, North West London early 1950's
I think this is a post war photo but not by much. There's no branding anywhere at all and whereas with rural sites the removal of all branding was a bit slack in London it was de rigueur. In time this would become a Shell-BP branded site - once the pool restriction had been lifted - I know this because I have more photos of this garage from a slightly later era - but those will posted at a later date! Amazingly this garage still exists as a tyre and service centre under the name Northwood Hills Service Station. Petrol sales ended quite some time ago though. www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.6023299,-0.4084539,3a,75y,246.2...
