Pace - Regal Garage, Upton Upon Severn, Worcestershire WR8 0HU 4
Previously branded UK, and much earlier still a Shell-BP site, there must have been other brands too in the 1970s and 1980s at least at this fine and almost legendary old site. A popular place to photograph, there are many images online from across the current century, but far fewer from longer ago. There are a number of cranes and recovery vehicles on the site, the main aspect of their business I would guess, but the petrol forecourt has been maintained over the years despite the existence of a rival site just down the road. It's not as much of a rival now as it once was, with this site branded Pace and the "rival" branded Gulf, both sites are now supplied by Certas Energy. Here on a Friday evening the site was closed but I assume petrol is still served and prices displayed on the price board when they are open.
Below you can see the site when it was branded UK and also as Shell-BP from the 1960s.
