BP - 300 London Road, Headington, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX3 8DJ 1st August 1990
The forecourt seen here had been a BP site for a long time, all the way back to the late 1960s and probably a bit earlier than that. In those days it was known as Shotover Filling Station, I'm not sure if it still carried that name when this image was taken some thirty plus years later. The garage closed down soon after, it was a small site with (later on) dreadful access so not a huge surprise. It spent some time as a Carphone Warehouse but even that had closed down by 2018.
It can't be seen in this image but in the older image added in the comments below the pub next door, which back in the 1960s was called The Shotover Arms, closed in 1995 and is now a McDonalds. The only thing that hasn't changed is the house next door which looks the same as it did here in 2000.
