Esso Feb 1977

Esso Feb 1977
I may have posted this before BUT can't find it here.

ESSO Townhouse Service Station in snowy Glossop early 1977 - slide dated February.

78.9p per Gallon for 4 Star petrol - around 17p a Litre
Cash only in those days.

Picture in Picture a more up to date version (2018)

Fred Fouarge, Paolo Tanino, Andy Rodker have particularly liked this photo

It still looks reasonably modern to me until you look at the price!

Oh, I always thought Esso was a purely Finnish or Nordic version of Exxon!

Anyway, thanks for the photo: I'd never heard of Glossop before but ended up driving around it in the Google Map car. Such a beautiful limestone town!

I couldn't find the Howard's manor house though. Perhaps it never existed, considering the seat of Duke of Norfolk is located in Sussex?

No we have always had Esso as well in my lifetime.
The Manor House is long gone now just residential housing but my local public park is the former Manor gardens so is called Manor Park. It was the Duke of Norfolk and the nearest school to us is named after the Duke. Yes Arundel Sussex is the Duke’s home but we do have Arundel Street.
The rich just get richer :-(
