Multiple Brands - Wye Garage, Llyswen, Powys, Wales 1930's
If the next door photo showed "evil twins" a la Shining, here we have the Welsh equivalent of Deliverance - I guess this might have been the first time anyone here ever saw a camera being used in their village and everyone wanted to get in shot. However the smallest child just to the right of the girl in the short white dress seemingly has no face - virtually no features are actually visible - and that's despite the fantastic clarity of all the detail around here! So to the garage - amazingly it still exists today under the Esso brand - rather expanded and modernised since this shot was taken! There's also a stray BP pump on the other side of the road - was this competition or just an extra to the main site opposite I wonder. www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.0327085,-3.2652318,3a,75y,129.7... The garage has in fact only recently become branded Esso having been Murco up to about four years ago see here www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.032705,-3.265198,3a,75y,119.7h,...
