i live very close to that site, the only other thing i remember that was on there was the car dealers, but ive only lived here for twelve years so i guess your talking about long before that?

Re: garage
 

I remember the petrol station but I dont remember the pumps though (think I was too young to take any notice tbh) I do know how little fuel you get for a fiver these days, its shocking the price of petrol / diesel now

Re: garage
 

I remember that Petrol Station and the machine.
One night the machine went wrong and all the taxi drivers in Blackburn and Accrington filled their tanks for nothing...the news went round like wildfire and the pump was completely drained.
The following morning the owner of the garage made a plea in the telegraph and the radio that anyone who got petrol for nothing "Would they please call into the garage to pay for the petrol"
Outcome not known :confused::confused::confused:
