Shaw - Exford Service Station, Exford, Somerset 1984
Very pleased to get this card - Shaw not a brand seen very much and especially on postcards for sure! This is of course the Exford Service Station which is now closed for petrol sales and has been for some time. When it was last pictured serving fuel it was still in the colours of National petrol as featured in Clare Kendall's wonderful book the last of the village pumps. See here clare.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/UK-The-last-of-the-v... Even by 2009 the pumps had gone as GSV shows www.google.com/maps/@51.1330922,-3.6406133,3a,75y,107.04h... I've been here before and taken shots in recent times and on each occasion I feel it's a shame such a great garage has lost its fuel facility.
