Esso - Upper High Street, Tisbury, Wiltshire SP3 6HF circa 1972

There's no reason why a postcard should focus on a garage at all, so it's no surprise that really only the pole sign of this garage shows in this image, but it would have been nice if somehow a bit more had been visible!

Founded in 1919, so now well over a hundred year sold, the Tisbury garage is under threat from developers now and looks likely to be demolished to make way for new flats. In more recent times it has been UK branded and more recently still Pace, as seen below. The developer cites that the building is out of character with the area, despite the garage having stood here since 1919. Of course a block of flats would be entirely in keeping with this neighbourhood!

Below it can be seen as Pace in 2014 thanks to Richard, 2017 and 2019 from my collection, and 2024 thanks to Spottedlaurel.
