Old Restored Pumps - Mathwall Engineering, Old Portsmouth Road, Thursley, Surrey GU8 6NJ 6
Clearly this was in the past a petrol station, although it hasn't been for quite some time. I can't say if the four old Avery Hardoll pumps are original to the site, it seems quite likely but you never know. Business must have suffered here when the A3 around the junction here was re-jigged meaning passing traffic was reduced and led to the garage closing at least for petrol sales, and now it's not a garage at all. Mathwall Engineering though have a strong motoring connection as they produce race car engines, and especially custom old style engines made bespoke for classic and vintage models. Pretty interesting stuff!
As for the old Avery Hardoll pumps, they have been relatively recently repainted to a sort of mock Gulf livery with orange faces and blue sides, they had been all blue in earlier Streetview images. The globes are of course a basic Esso reproduction shape but given the Mathwall logo.
