In the rain, on the evening of February 5, 2013, I took this photo of painted panels on Sunray Avenue in Herne Hill, part of the inter-war development of the Denmark Hill and Red Post Hill area. They decorate the hoarding around an abandoned building, which looked like a pub, next to the entrance to the Charter School, a secondary school, although I can't find any reference to a pub on the site.

I have so gotten into iPhoneography that I added a section for it on my blog: www.nomadicpursuits.com/iphoneography-blog/
The DX brand name is a fairly rare one, but one that's popular with petroliana collectors. Introduced in the 1930's by Mid-Continent Petroleum, "Diamond-X" gas proved popular in the Midwestern territories where it was sold. In 1955, Mid-Continent merged with Sunray Oil to become Sunray Mid-Continent Oil Co. (to handle production) and D-X Sunray (for marketing). The Sunray brand was gradually phased out, and in 1968 Sunray merged with Sunoco. By the early 90's most DX stations had disappeared.
D-X Boron was the company's premium grade gasoline, and was introduced in 1955. This is the only D-X pump I've seen, and it's at a used car dealership. I've never seen a functioning D-X station.
