WCF - Regent Garage & Cafe, Gainsborough Road, Everton, Nottinghamshire, 1980's.
After being a Gulf site this rebranded to WCF which it remained under until the petrol station/cafe ceased trading towards the late 1990's.
It remained an open air forecourt until 1990 when the canopy was added but newer pumps were added before the canopy was built.
I'm not sure of the year in this photo but as 2 Star petrol is on the double side pump (yellow label) but would guess somewhere from 1980-86.
The single nozzle pump which strangely has a blue hose which doesn't match any of the other hoses seems to have the 4 Star grade sticker neatly cut in half so I'm actually wondering if this was actually 2 Star petrol on this pump which would make sense as this would later become the unleaded pump but not sure when unleaded petrol was introduced here although by 1988 Unleaded was only available at 11% of petrol stations.
