I first found these petrol pumps back in the 1970s when touring the Golden Valley in Herefordshire.
In 2015 I visited the pumps again and met the owner. He also showed me around his workshop which was a little distance away in another part of the village.
He had just disposed a a large number of Morris Minor 1000 NOS body panels.
There was also a Minor 1000 which had been driven into one of the adjacent buildings many years ago as a part exchange and there it stayed. When I visited it was in the process of being extracted from its slumbers.
Comparing my photo below with those in the links above the pump globes were still in place when I made my visit in 2015. Hopefully they have been removed to a safe place.
