Former Petrol Station - Aldbury Garage, Trooper Road, Aldbury, Hertfordshire HP23 5RW 2
This garage certainly hasn't sold fuel for a long time but if one looks at the earliest Streetview at least the one remaining pump had a hose then. There are two further platforms nearby suggesting there were once three pumps here. No branding history is apparent either in my images or in any of the Streetview shots. There is an old Shell Helix Oils sign but that is most likely co-incidental and in no way a suggestion that Shell was its last brand. It seems likely that it would have been a minor brand given that Aldbury is a tiny village accessed by minor roads and this garage is then down a side street and not on the road through Aldbury. Sad to see a pump now just used as an object to hang a flower basket from!
