My dad thinks theres another garage near where he grew up in Reading as well, thats the next mission then ;D

Well its only taken two years! Was out dropping some stuff off at a charity shop on the main road into town, had to do a loop round the old terraces houses to park up and found one of the places my dad was telling me about.



Theres only a single pump outside though.








;D

Great pics and awesome thread resurrection , I love old petrol pumps/forecourts..

Saw this one last year in Staindrop whilst on the way back from watching some autotesting -



..and this one up near Seahouses ( Northumberland) way about 3 years ago , don't seem to be many old pumps left now round my way sadly



yours are great pics though , thanks for posting them
