    That was one of the local petrol stations when I was growing up.
    There was a newsagents called the Candy Store beside it.

    I freed a "Nipper" there when it was Maxol!

    Last I heard there was a mechanic operating out of it. My mum had him stick a few bits of her car back on last year.

    Unfortunately it's a long time since I seen mine, the squeaker went pretty soon after I got it iirc. The auld fella used the " free a nipper reight!" If that's how you'd spell it catchphrase for years after.
