The Humer Unbeam Interesting Filling Stations Thread

[Butter Face]

Great thread!

Some very old school ones around Cornwall. I'll have to remember to snap pictures when I'm out and about!!

Starcross, Devon.

Haven't been past for a while, hopefully it's still in use.

Recnelty drove past this place in Norfolk not far from Hethel. Old Buckenham is the village

How many surviving Reliant specialists can there still be?

Wickwar High Street, no longer in use.

Manor Road, East Preston. It has been turned into houses now, but the pumps remain.

Here's the Durness one:





One in Uley, Gloucestershire:





Church Stoke, on the Welsh border:






Any my favourite - Steeple Ashton:





My car seems to have an affinity with petrol pumps of all types.

There's a traditional garage/filling station fit for this thread in Aldeburgh and there was one in Abersoch, although I've not visited either for a long time and they may have gone since.

Aldeburgh long gone, sorry

This one in Gartocharn was in use the last time I drove past.

Llysworney Garage, between Barry and Bridgend.

I'll go back and read that yellow notice. It can't really say it's a listed building, can it?

Was going to look for a picture of this. Didn't realise until a few years ago that they were functional!

It's still used as a garage & petrol station, here's a pic I took whilst filling up there:



Great thread OP, sadly I love this kind of stuff.

On the old A5 in Little Brickhill-looks like it's been closed for years but apparently there's a guy who still works out of the petrol station building.

Got a few half decent pictures of my car there but for some reason they won't link over.

Just off the A87, on the road up to the Morvich caravan site...

[Impasse]

What this thread needs is a couple of moody, out of focus, night time shots. I present White Heather filling station and Owl Services in Southsea. (Yes, those fuel prices are from today...)

Great thread, Dicky!

Here are two I know of:

Ashford Hill, Berkshire. The image shows it still in use, but I know it no longer serves petrol now:

Another one on the A36 towards Southampton:

Though he does still sell petrol and cars too!

Can't get the images to embed though

This old ramshackle place is just outside Durham,god knows when it was last in use

This one is in Alford, not far from Aberdeen. Not as cool/retro as some on here but it makes me smile when I see it: https://goo.gl/maps/kMzQB

Just down the road from me, great guys. Use them for all non-specialist spanner work

Regularly go past the one in Ashford Hill on my way to somewhere just up the road from there.

The one that springs to mind for me is in Stockbridge in Hampshire. Long while since disappeared as a petrol station and is now a coffee shop but when I was a nipper it was a garage with a single pump. The odd soffits on the building always interested me for some reason and while now a coffee shop they seem to have kept and restored something that looks like an old pump.
