Butler - A41 Newport Road, Cosford, Albrighton, Shropshire WV7 3NA circa 1990
Here are some more photos of one of Butler's flagship sites in this era - this daytime shot is from rather too far away to really pick out details but aside from all the other vehicles on view there is a Capri which is always where my eyes wander first! The price board seems to be blacked out here so maybe new prices about to be displayed?
Way back in the past this was a Regent branded site which you can see below - then as we see here it became a Butler site by the 1980's, possibly via Texaco and who knows some other brands too. It remained a Butler for some time and the site was seriously modernised. You can see that era below too. More recently it has been an even larger and totally rebuilt Esso site and as of the last two or three years it is now a BP. I'm always quite surprised when sites such as this end up in the hands of one of the majors but it does happen now and again.
