BP - RF Bird & Co Ltd Motor Engineers, Green Dragon, Wymondham, Norfolk later 1960s
This is the third image of this place I have posted. Previously when selling multiple brands and then also as seemingly a solus Shell site although that's not certain from the view given in that photo which is the same view as this one. It's hard to put a timeline on these three images but certainly the solus ones come after the one where it is clearly selling more than one brand. This is a colourised image, I am almost certain it is based on a image previously posted by Daves_Archive1, you can see that one below along with the two other images I have posted. If I had to stick my neck out I'd say this image is the most recent but still probably later 1960s.
The main focus of all these images is the Green Dragon pub and not the garage of course, it's just coincidence that the pumps were positioned so that they show in such postcards. As an aside the pub is superb and serves wonderful food.
Of course the garage didn't last, it was tucked in between the pub and the church with a tiny entrance and in more modern times would have been entirely impractical.
Fort hose who don't know or don't remember, BP Zoom was two stroke for mopeds.
