The roof over the pumps was added in about 1935-1938.
This "modern" car appears to be attracting some attention. Identify anyone ?

Thanks. Helps date the photo slightly. Possibly a convertible ? Given the area and the dates it would have been a conversation piece. |

I know people like old pumps, these look much older than any I can remember. Location is Salford in Oxfordshire, I hope they are still there, Steetview is 2011. https://maps.app.goo.gl/owURgFGzgyT3WmA76

Skeleton pumps were once a common sight at filling stations/garages. They were generally hand cranked and came in many guises. I believe they were invented by an American called Bowser.
Here all you ever wanted to know about old petrol pumps.
