Texaco - Northover, Ilchester, Somerset BA22 8LD 6
There's been a garage here for years. There used to be another one nearly opposite too, but that went about twenty years ago or so, that one was branded Elf in the 1990s. There may have been a third petrol station, also nearly opposite this one but going the other way and closer to the bridge. Obviously the garage here has seen changes over the years, it used to be a rather smaller forecourt as can be seen below.
The road pictured here is the Fosse Way, one of the main Roman roads through England. In fact it was an established route even before the Romans came in the first place. More recently it was once the main A303 route but later on a bypass was built and this road was downgraded to the B3151.
