Esso - Carville Service Station, Hadrian Road, Wallsend, Tyne and Wear NE28 6HG
This is a bit scruffy for an Esso site, panel missing from the canopy edge. Presumably only a temporary situation. This was a Total and then Gulf site before changing to Esso around two years ago. Apparently there was a railway station right adjacent to the garage here once, called Carville, and as a result a few photos exist of this place a bit further back in time, the "railway historians" having conveniently taken images which show the garage, if only at distance. Here we can see it as a Total from 2012 if you scroll down to the very end of the article

There's also a photo of it as a Gulf in this article.

Of course both eras can also be seen on Streetview.
