Esso - Pitt Vale Service Station, Pitt, Nr Winchester, Hampshire SO22 5QN
Here's this week's Thursday Throwback. This is a huge improvement on the previous scan, see below.
Despite having originally posted this nearly six years ago I'm still no closer to working out where this image was taken. The garage was called the something vale service station but sadly the key first part is obscured by the hose of one of the pumps. It must be quite short as a name, so Port Vale Service Station would be an example, but I'm fairly sure it's not that.
The site is a wonderful example of Esso style and livery of the era, the later 1970s and through the 1980s. The car is on an N plate so that dates the image to that range too. Can anyone shed any light on where this was?
Edit update:- Thanks to AquaValet, the location is now known. Handily, Richard has a contemporary image of it, see first comment below.
