Ex Mobil - Station Road Automotives, Station Rd, Countesthorpe, Leicestershire.

The information given to me on this site was that this was a Mobil filling station, which closed towards of the 1970's.

The totem pole which stands in the earlier street view images, up to the 2012 view suggests to me that possibly another brand after Mobil could have been sold, but I can't confirm this and could be totally wrong.

In the present day this is Station Road Automotives, around the several businesses trade including Countesthorpe MOT Centre and Griffs Bodyworks.

The 2009 street view image shows the site trading as Sapphire Car sales
