Butler - Harwood's Garage, The Square, Shipham, Winscombe, Somerset BS25 1TN 1990
This image I think dates from about 1990, so roughly ten years after the earlier shot in the purple and white livery - see below.
Harwoods garage as seen here changed hands in time to become Ian Studley Motors, but retained the fuel supply from Butler, I think all the way through to the point where it stopped selling petrol, but certainly to the end of it being a branded forecourt. There is a chance it carried on as an independent site for a short while afterwards. The earliest Streetview shows the pumps still with the Butler livery on, but the pole sign has gone; it's hard to tell if petrol was being sold at that point. Much more recently still, the canopy was removed and some of the area where it stood being converted into more building floor space.
I don't seem to have a photo of the garage in the last of the Butler liveries but I do of all other eras including a recent one showing the changes to the forecourt. All are added below.
