A hand-operated fuel pump is adjacent to what was a taxi rank and workshop. During WW2 the taxis would have serviced the local, now disused airbase (RAF Harrowbeer).
The existing fuel pump would have been replaced in the early 1960s and then taken out of use following changes to the legislation for the storage of fuel.
Gasoline Brand: Private hire company use.
