Fina - Cathedral Garage, Weybread, Suffolk IP21 5TQ circa 1985 2
For a long time I had very little history of this site, just knew it had been Proteus branded before it stopped selling petrol. Now a lot of the missing info can be filled in. It was a Fina branded site in the 1980s, and due to the style of the pole sign in this image, it must have been Fina branded since the late 1970s or longer. The change to Little David must have been fairly brief, just a few years at the most before it transitioned again to Butler. The only doubt left is if it went to Proteus via Power or not. It seems unlikely to have fitted in two more brands by 2011 by which time it had more or less stopped selling petrol.
Pictured here in about 1985 selling Fina petrol, the advert for a free digital watch is very much an indicator of the era. Below I've added later images of it as Little David and Butler, and thanks to Chris Greene, an image of it when Proteus branded. Finally, an image taken in 2019 where only the canopy remained.
