Esso - Trout Inn, Bickleigh, Devon EX16 8RJ circa 1937
Bickleigh is a small village in central Devon perhaps, in my mind anyway, best known for the Devon Railway Centre, a place I have visited. I think this old postcard dates from just pre-war but it might be any time from then to say 1950. Just the one pump here with an Esso Extra globe on it. Hotels in this era often had a pump for customers to fill up from, especially in more rural areas. The scene here is largely unchanged over the last seventy five years.
