Esso - The Bridge, Peranwell Station, Truro, Cornwall TR3 7PT circa 1960
There's still a garage here in the present day but fuel sales ended a long time back and certainly before Streetview first came along here in 2009. As we see here it was an Esso site, there may well have been other brands later on, and for a rural site like this it maybe became an Anglo or BFL or some other smaller brand in the 1990s but I don't know. The only other image I can find online is from this era showing the same pumps and pole sign.

No, I lie, further searching produces photos of it as an Anglo both with the earliest sign and the later one, my instincts were correct! See here but you need to scroll down to page 13! (page 16 of the pdf file)

Here's much the same view in the present day.
