National Benzole Pump - A L Church Newsagent, Grocer & General Stores, Ormesby Road, Hemsby, Norfolk NR29 4AA early 1950s
Here just across the road from what is now the Crossroads Garage, formerly M & J Ellis, was a tiny petrol outlet form further back in time. I am not sure if this is just before the war or just after, I'm not good enough on car registrations to tell from the one van we see parked here. The van looks quite modern compared to the shop front and the age of the pump, a model from well before the war.
Incredibly the owners are still the same family in the present day and it is still a general store and post office.
