Despite the fact that we really only get to see the pole sign of the Elf garage it is still a lovely scene with enough of interest. Plenty of typical period cars, yet another Austin Allegro in the distance (see yesterday's photos) and a Vauxhall and Metro van nearest. The Springvale pub is still there in the present day.
The petrol station disappeared many years ago and all through Streetview it has been an empty and derelict site until earlier this year where finally there are some signs of activity to regenerate it.
Here's the same view in the present day

The introduction of Multiple Aspect Signalling on the Stour Valley line in August 1965 resulted in the closure of many intermediate signal boxes and the downgrading of others. One of those downgraded to the status of 'Shunt Frame' was this one at Spring Vale Sidings which continued in use until 1983, after which it was demolished. The adjacent Bilston Steel Works had closed in 1979 which resulted in the eventual demise of the sidings.
