Welcome Break - Peartree Roundabout, Woodstock Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX2 8JZ 1
The service area here changed from Shell to Welcome Break (Applegreen) about five years ago. It had been Shell branded for a very long time, all the way back to 1975, but in my mind, I am sure it had been BP not much further back in time than that. Back then it was known as the Excelsior Motor Lodge, a rather grand name for a fairly standard service area of the era.
Below, a 1975 image can be seen showing it still Shell branded back then.
