This print showcases the vintage fuel pumps at Laurel Garage in Ramsbury, Wiltshire, making it one of the oldest operational petrol and diesel filling stations in the UK. Dating back to the 1950s, these remarkable pumps were crafted by Avery Hardoll, a renowned company of that era. The brand associated with these pumps was FINA, representing the Belgian Petrofina oil company. Transporting us back in time, this image captures an important piece of European history. With its antique charm and industrial allure, it serves as a testament to early technological advancements in the transportation industry.
