BP - John Darke, Grimsby Road, Louth, Lincolnshire LN11 0EA 2
This was also a busy place. Cars literally queuing up to fill up! Previously branded Gulf, and before that Total, Richard has photos of both those eras as well as a BP photo of his own - see below. Looking further back in time, they once sold Texaco, looking at the photo on their website either late 1970s or early 1980s. There's an even older photo from when the garage was a much smaller premises elsewhere, and then it was branded Regent so they had a long association with Texaco from the 1960s through to some time in the 1980s or even 1990s. It also appears they were once full Volvo dealers, although more recently the garage bears a Ford logo. The image son their website are really worth a look, some brilliant period photos.
