Esso - 13 High Street, Market Weighton, North Yorkshire YO43 3AQ late 1950s
This petrol station didn't last of course, kerbside pumps like these having been outlawed a long time ago although that may not have been the reason for its demise. Interesting to see the extra poles with Esso globes on top in addition to the ones on the pumps, must have looked quite impressive when they were all lit up. Other throwbacks in the photo include the old directions road sign far left and the sign for the Midland Bank. Looks like there's a local directions sign a bit further along too, just beyond the Esso pumps. Here's the same view in the present day
