Shell-BP - Normand Ltd, 405-409 King Street, Hammersmith, London W6 9NJ circa 1960
This rather large garage site was one of quite a few under the Normand name in this era. I wasn't able to work out the location on my own, but with help from Mick Masters via Facebook he was able to give me a list of locations of their sites in this era, and due to the clear number of 405-409 it had to be this address. Of course it doesn't look like this now, or indeed hasn't for some time, one would never have known this was here looking at the 21st century Streetviews. Normand Ltd had a long historical connection to J Lyons and Co acting as the maintenance and service garage for their vast fleet of delivery transport. This is would seem went back to the birth of the motor car. Post war Normand also started a number of garages with showrooms to sell cars, of which this was one. In 1990 the business was bought out by a venture capital backed management buyout.
Here's the location
