Former Petrol Station - South Cambs Motors, Melbourn in the Snow 1

Much photographed by me and others, this lovely old garage was on its last legs some years ago and finally closed a bit later on. Now all boarded up one wonders what might happen to it, it may well have a preservation order on it and be grade 2 listed - I don't know. Way back in the 1970s it was a National branded site, I remember it well as a kid serving petrol from vintage Avery Hardoll pumps which seemed amazing in that era, now as you see only the one still stands. This particular pump had a National Benzole globe on it until about the turn of the century as can be seen below.
