Former Petrol Station - Tetney Road, Humberston, Lincolnshire DN36 4JN 5
I finally made it to this one after posting so many much older images of it! Clearly it's still operating from the cars lined up outside, but the pumps went last year and I guess it's only a matter of time before the canopy and certainly the pole sign go. Way back in the past this was a Rix branded site before a reasonably long stint with Butler. I had one not that great image of it as Butler as yet unposted so have added that one today too. After Butler it was branded Power for a while, about eight years I guess, as all remaining site under the Butler brand changed.
With one of his photos Ian Calvert refers to the owners here fighting off Tesco being highly aggressive about this site and trying to get it closed, clearly eventually they got their way.
The earliest Streetview shows the garage branded Power with lots of bunting and a Union Jack flying - it looked lovely back then and sad to see it now a shadow of its former self.
Below you can see it as both a Rix site and as a Butler, seemingly no-one has it as a Power site, and then one of Ian Calvert's images of it as WCF but with pumps and still serving.
