Multiple Brands - 690 Great West Road, Osterley, Isleworth, Surrey TW7 4PU circa 1930

I've posted an image of this one before, perhaps a slightly better one, from the opposite viewpoint, see below. Both images are from much the same era, this one certainly the older of the two as the pumps are of an older style, showing a pre-war forecourt selling a variety of brands. Although the building is still there in the present day, it looks quite different now, all the timber framed aspects have gone, and the upper half of the building may even have been removed, certainly obscured. It was believed to have been a Mobil site in the 1970s, but not much more than that is known. When the site sto[ped selling petrol is unclear, the earliest Streetview shows that even by then Cole Hire had taken over the site to hire out cars and vans, they are still there in the present day.
