Former Petrol Station - John Hudson Page Hunton now East Coast Castings, The Foundry, Norwich Road, Carbrooke, Watton, Thetford IP25 6TL 4
This is the site of the former garage of Page Hunton which stopped selling fuel well over twenty years ago. I am still having trouble working out exactly how the layout of this site changed over the years but I think the building/house we see over to the right was extended both outwards and inwards over the years. That would mean the original forecourt shop was demolished and the huge units we see here now were built subsequently. It would seem, at least according to Google Maps, that three business share this site now, Bolts MOT and Service Centre, Shire Autos and East Coast Castings. I spoke to the chap who ran East Coast Castings and he gave me the impression that they now own the entire site, but that might be a misunderstanding on my part. Anyway, it was once a petrol station as you can see below, a rare sighting of the John Hudson brand that used to be reasonably prevalent in East Anglia up to the mid 1990s.
