BP (maybe) - Rose Narrowboats, Stretton Stop, North Oxford Canal, Stretton Under Fosse, Rugby Warwickshire CV23 0PU

Bit different this one - a canalside filling station. Diesel only and amazingly one of those pumps is still there in the most recent Streetview shot - admittedly 2011 - and I think still serving! For some reason I think it's a BP branded pump back when this photo was taken. The huge booms to reach the canal are impressive.

Here's a view of the same pump

and here's the same view as this postcard in the present day
