What struck my fancy

By TonyLuxton

Fill 'er up!

as one might have said back in around 1937. Fuel sold by the gallon (4.55 litres) for 1 shilling and five pence. In those days we had ha'pennies (half a penny) and farthings (a quarter) so the right hand space was to display the exact price to a half or quarter of a penny.

The extra shows the slightly olde worlde look of the location, the grounds are by Creake Abbey near Burnham Market, north Norfolk..
