They also have discount petrol and a pyramid of oil. I didn't even try and track this one down on Google Maps. It was barely there when the photograph was taken. I was in Stretford last year on the roof of the tower so had a quick google to see if Rosamund Street was close by. I was initially confused why Street view wasn't working but soon clicked when I looked at the adjacent street name. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Rosamund+Street,+Stretford,+Manchester+M17+1AU/@53.4706754,-2.3029236,167m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x487bae6f4d82428d:0x3982925f61776d00!8m2!3d53.4706962!4d-2.3026534?dcr=0 Junkman and Conrad D.

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Haha, I did the same thing. Then I tried the second Rosamund street, which is the new set. I quite like how Google mapped them like real streets!

There's also a sign for Rex Bodybuilders, which I also searched and regretted doing so. But the photo is titled "school of music compulsory purchase order 1963" and there's a school of music on Oxford Road which they started building in 1968, so I'm going to hazard a guess at this being the location: mercrocker, Zantimisfit, Junkman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_senator Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 These are exclusive to Autoshite, send by a gent on Facebook for me to distribute, all taken in Palmers Green, Finchley, Whetstone & Barnet area`s of north London in the 70`s & 80`s, none of them are petrol stations any more, only 2 of the buildings still exist. They are mobile phone pictures of projected slides & photographs as he has no scanner, he has said I can scan the slides at some point for better quality. The Triumph was his & was exported to Monaco! Asimo, Conrad D. Conelrad, Junkman and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it looks like this now. garage4a.jpg You know, I'm not deliberately looking for ruined old garages. If I keep looking, surely I'll find one which has been improved upon? Right?

(the ex-Mobil in Whetstone & the ex-Cyma at Barnet/Hadley Green). Would be great if you could dig that picture out Seth, I couldn't work out where the Talbot garage was, & he couldn't quite remember either (he seemed to think it was on the other end of Hadley Green at the end of Dury Rd?).

mercrocker Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 A quick message from our sponsors..... Not selling anything (on the contrary,......) If any of you have original black and white photographs surplus to requirements, covering the 1940s to mid 1960s Mrs Rocker and I are avid collectors of same. We would be very glad to provide an excellent home in some of our dozens of albums of mid-century British snapshots of life. Willing to pay reasonable amounts for the right stuff! PM if you have owt! EDIT TO MODS Sorry chaps prolly not the best thread to throw this in - can it be moved to the appropriate place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
