Multiple Brands - Tubbs Garage, Main Road, Westfield, Hastings, Sussex late 1930's
Can't quite read the full name of the owner here - could be R.E Tubbs. On sale we have Shell, National Benzole and can't make out the near one - it looks like a clear white spherical globe so possibly a precursor to the pool era which would date this photo to 1939 but it could equally be Esso from an angle just right to make it appear circular and not oval. The garage building still stands today and is now bizarrely a hydroponics centre - all totally innocent I'm sure! www.google.com/maps/@50.9118067,0.5774536,3a,75y,323.06h,... Back in 2009 this was still a garage selling cars and possibly servicing them too but petrol sales had long since gone then www.google.com/maps/@50.9118113,0.5774583,3a,75y,315.6h,7... Also bizarre but in July 2016 the building is the hydroponics centre but there are cars for sale on the forecourt too - could the garage owner have been diversifying his business at that point.
