Shell - Days of Lowestoft, Clapham Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk 27th December 1963

This garage was apparently opposite the main premises of Days of Lowestoft, a site I have previously posted a photo of. From the Steetview it would appear that everything was later on demolished so hard to pinpoint the precise location but I always look for the most modern looking buildings as a clue so looks like it became part of the Britten centre, more precisely part of its multi story car park! The photo here was apparently taken by Alfred James Lovett, who only died a few years ago and was a photographer for the Eastern Daily Press.

It's interesting to note that this photo was taken on the same day as the photo previously posted of their other premises opposite, here this one is a Shell branded site but the one opposite was branded National and Power. You can see that other image below.

This is, as far as I can work out, the same view in the near present day.
