Former Petrol Station - Richmonds Coaches, Barley, Hertfordshire in the Snow
This place is now the last evidence of there having been two petrol stations in Barley going way back into the past. I make this statement because the delightful A Drayton and Sons garage, much photographed by others and me over the years has recently been demolished for new housing. I was genuinely sad to see that had happened. This place was a BP garage back in the 1970s and certainly an Arndale site for a while in the later 1980s and early 1990s. Kevin Lane has an excellent photo showing Arndale branded pumps with a Land Rover as the main feature - see below. There is still the one pump at the site now but reserved only for filling up their huge fleet of coaches.
Only the one Streetview available from 2008 and it shows little change here over that time.
