Not sure if this has been on here, but I happened upon this by Chain Bridge, between Abergavenny and Usk, the other day.
I got some very odd looks from the bloke living next door working on his old Mondeo on axle stands.
Butler Fuels still exists - trading name of Certas Energy. No longer selling retail petrol/diesel sadly.

Passed this one yesterday in Treswell. Didn’t have time to stop to take my own picture…

I know the old garage on the waterfront in St. Mawes has been mentioned before on here, I thought some may be interested to read that there are plans for its demolition: https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/an...

Anyway, that wasn't the reason I asked you all here this morning, it was this that turned up a year out of date on Facebook.
On Facebook today from GloucestershireLive a year ago on the garage's centenary:

Still going strong today.
With acknowledgements to all three organisations. I'm sure they won't mind

Took the long way to work today, Going along the Falmouth-Redruth road (or the A393 to you and me!) and passed through Ponsanooth.
On the right hand side there has been an IMP petrol station forever. It normally has a few rusting old cars sitting around waiting to be scrapped and their fuel is never the cheapest, but you could buy............ Wait for it.................4 Star! Wow.
Anyway. It seems to be the end of the road.... The prices have gone. Replaced with a sombre date range...
It's a big old building, who knows what it will end up being used for!
See! 4 Star!
Ex-Gilbarco Basildon man here. Those pumps are Highline1s. Our first electronic pump with Nixie tubes for displays and the motherboard was based on the 8080 prototype layout from Intel. We had a lot to learn! In Scandinavia in winter the static caused by cleaning the plastic pump head made the display show random numbers!!! I have an original brochure somewhere. ETA Looking at the thread again it looks like I;m repeating myself-old age. On the right hand side there has been an IMP petrol station forever.

The houses are nearly finished. One still available for £595k. Someone’s done well out of the site! 5 houses on there.

I've been keeping my eye on the site too. The original garage was such a cave of car stuff I'm sad it's gone.
Houses look typically new build.
