Texaco & Gulf - High Road, Whaplode, Lincolnshire PE12 6TJ 5
Temporary traffic lights rather impeded my view of these sites on this day, the queues of traffic heading west meant only views from this end worked that well. The only change here since my last visit in 2020 is that the Gulf site now has the new livery. Views of rival sites this close are rare these days, and finding two that don't include at least one as Esso, Shell or BP even rarer. I thin I've only seen about three or four examples in the last ten years so this is to be appreciated - by the petrol station spotter anyway!
There was a time not so long ago when both sites were branded Gulf and earlier still the Texaco was a Jet and the Gulf a BP.
