Esso - North Oxford Garage, 276, 292 Banbury Road, Summertown, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX2 7DY 14th November 1980
An Esso pole sign from November 1980 at the North Oxford Garage.
It shows that petrol had gone up by about 55 pence a gallon over a period of just over three and a half years from the 1977 image - see below. That was increase of about 70% in an era when inflation was rampant. In the present day the garage is long gone, replaced with modern retail units and it's at least twenty years since petrol was sold here.
