Shell-BP - Sticklands Garage, 2 High Street, Gillingham, Dorset SP8 4QT circa 1960
Here and in the adjacent image it is seen that Sticklands had two garages in the High Street in Gillingham in this era. This one shows their main repair garage with petrol sales. There are a lot of signs adorning the front of the building! We have logos for Shell, BP and National Benzole, two signs for Exide batteries, a Tecalemit sign, one for the RAC and one for the AA, and one for Nuffield Products, I'm not sure what they were, anyone know? A bit further down is a sign for Morris Commercials too. Add in the bonus National globe along with ones on the pumps and the garage's actual branding and it's a feast of advertising signs!
On the left we see the premises of a National Provincial bank, they later merged with the Westminster bank to form Nat West in 1968.
The garage premises seen here still exists, it's now a Costa Coffee having earlier on been a butchers shop and in between a design studio. The bank is now Gillingham Community Church.
