Multiple Brands - The Royal Oak Garage, Farringdon, Alton, Hampshire 1930's
This is still a garage of sorts today - it's a BMW motorbike centre under the name Bahnstormer which is a pretty awful pun actually - Bahn the German word for road. I think this photo is pre-war although the chap in the background lurking behind the right hand pump is wearing attire more of the 1950's. On sale we have Shell, National Benzole and BP and there appear to be some oil cabinets over to the left. The pub I can only assume was called The Royal Oak back in the day but now it is the Golden Pheasant. www.google.com/maps/@51.1114056,-0.9940231,3a,75y,270h,90...
