BP - Cherwell Drive, Headington, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX3 0NA 12th September 2000
The given date for this image is surprisingly late, but just about plausible. 4 star petrol was finally discontinued in 2000 so the sign reading 4 star must be something to do with that. The news story that went with this image was about fuel shortages at certain Oxford sites, so maybe a shortage of 4 star, however unlikely that seems in 2000.
The site is still there in the present day, still BP branded and to be truthful looking a little scruffy in 2023, the most recent Streetview. The earliest Streetview from 2008 shows the site looking much more like it did here eight years earlier.
