Esso - Oxpens Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire 1st August 2000
The garage here pretty much disappeared in a short space of time between July 2015 and September 2016. Once a thriving service station, it was demolished and to this day nothing has happened in the way of redevelopment. Indeed the only thing that has happened is the once clear site is now totally overgrown by bushes and trees.
I've already posted a photo of this site from just a few weeks later when there were fuel shortages, yet perversely, the price of petrol was lower then than it was here a few weeks earlier. The other photo I have of this site is from much earlier on in time, an image of the pole sign and price board when fuel was 39.5p a litre, that was from 1984.
