Ex Power - Roman Garage, A52, Ropsley Heath nr Grantham, Lincolnshire.
Found this garage around 3 years ago on my way back from Peterborough as i decided to take what used to be a familiar route back to Cranwell via Ancaster which i had done many times as a child in the parents car.
It seems the roads in this area had changed dramatically over the last 25 years as i found myself kinda lost and missing Ancaster completely but then stumbling on this place on the A52.
At the time it was still open for fuel but closed as it was a sunday but last saturday i had the chance to visit as i finished work early.
Fuel sales sadly finished here July/August 2018 but cant understand why as this appears to be the only petrol station for miles around especially now that A.C Williams the Renault dealer and the Rix petrol station at Ancaster closed in 2012 and has since been flattened and become a Coop foodstore.
However i think there is still a Murco filling station there.
This was the only Power branded filling station I had seen in a long time.
Google maps shows the unleaded pump in this photo as Diesel and branded as Power so i think the unleaded pump at the time stopped working as it now has the Power branding and appears to be out of use.
