Shell - 8 Andover Road, Ludgershall, Andover, Wiltshire SP11 9LU circa 1960
There are two petrol stations just in view here, although you wouldn't easily be able to tell. The Shell sign is clear enough and it's a shame that's all is seen of that site, but over to the right with only the tiniest corner of the forecourt visible there was a second one. I know so as that one lasted to the present day, although only a hand car wash in recent years.
The Shell site must have been pretty small as what's there in the present day indicates the forecourt was probably only big enough to fit two cars on. However it looks like the premises went back quite a long way. About ten years ago the whole lot was demolished, as seen on Streetview here

The other forecourt I mentioned that's now a hand car wash can be seen below, still no idea what brands of petrol might have been sold there in the past. Here's this exact view on Streetview.
