Multiple Brands - Preston Road, Bowleaze Cove, Overcombe, Weymouth, Dorset DT3 6PU circa 1930
Amazing to find an old postcard of this garage in its earliest days. It went on to be a Shell branded site in the 1980s and 1990s under the name Terry Guy's Garage, see below. As you can see, even by then it still had an open forecourt, although one can also see that far more housing had also been built over the years. Eventually the garage went, probably at the end of the 1990s or maybe just into the following century, and is now, sadly, a couple of houses and a public toilet block!
Here's the same view in the near present day.
