Gulf - Brooklands Garage, Howlett End, Wimbish, Essex 1

After really quite a few years as a Pace, the Brooklands Garage and former UK forecourt has been rebranded to Gulf. Have to say it looks rather splendid, but I still prefer the oldest image I have of this garage, and indeed the cover image for my main petrol station album, when the pumps were Gilbarco Highlines. That's added below, along with an intermediate image showing the garage got a new pole sign after the older one got demolished by a passing motorist!

Of particular note is the new sign on the front of the building reading "Established 1910", that makes it an incredibly old garage.
