Shell - Moore Brothers, High Street, Crediton, Devon circa 1960
If I am right then the Shell garage we see on the High Street here eventually became a Tesco Express in the present day. Seeing booms with hoses across the pavement like this and a pile of old tyres just leaning against the premises on a high street anywhere seems so alien now but in the 1960s it would have been a common sight! Overall there has been very little change here in the intervening sixty years, and unlike many towns of this size, the main road is still the High Street. There is still a Shell garage in Crediton in the present day but it's down near the railway station.
