Mobil - Hull Road Service Station, Anlaby, Humberside 1970's
All the great features of Mobil forecourts of this era are on display here - circular recesses on the underside of the canopy and the great Eliot Noyes cylindrical pumps as well as the Pegasus logo that Mobil used continuously through the post-war era.

I reckon it might be where this Sainsbury local is and the two shops next to it - Atlantis and Coral - are more recently built than they appear. Thereafter the houses that follow along are a great match for what is an unusual building style www.google.com/maps/@53.7442883,-0.4083168,3a,75y,39.47h,...
