Ultramar - Chiswick Ultra Serve, 610 Chiswick High Road, Chiswick, London W4 5RU 1976

The summer of 1976 and Ultramar was by now a fairly familiar name in southern England and especially the south east. Chiswick High Road had a number of small garages along it and this one was probably the smallest of them all. It would later be re-branded as a Q8 site after Q8 bought out Ultramar's downstream operations in the UK and you can see it like that below. The same view today was very hard to locate but in the end I managed it by comparing the trees in the photo to those on the road in the present day! www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4922142,-0.2778255,3a,75y,37.51...
