Snippet from Horncastle News, 8th August 1991 on Elsoms Garage & fuel depot in the 1940's.
Here we have Elsoms fuel depot and Petrol station in Horncastle Lincolnshire back in the 1940's selling Power petrol.
Two pumps can see but only one has a globe on the top.
Just behind the hanging Power sign appears to either be two signs or globes as well as a Mobilgas sign above the nearest tanker
I have to presume all tankers are branded as Elsoms but don't recognise any, although the furthest one may be a Fordson, but would love any confirmation on this or any of the little bits noticed in the photo.
Fuel sales ended under the Burmah brand back around 1999 and became Mid Lincs Commercials after, which sold a variety of cars and vans, this can be seen in the earliest street view image
By 2014 It had hand car wash which this had been until fairly recently, I get the impression that this no longer operates.
