Fina - Rookery Garage, The Street, Gosfield, Essex circa 1975
The main feature of this photo is clearly the public house, The Kings Head which is still there today. In the background though is the Rookery Garage selling Fina petrol. Streetview shows us that the garage had long since gone even in 2009. A companies report suggests the company was dissolved in 2006 with a winding up order served in 2005. So looks like the garage survived up to about 2004 or early 2005. Whether or not they still sold petrol then is another thing.
