Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Mid Street Cornhill This is Mid Street in the centre of Cornhill.

The garage on the left is of interest because it still has an old National fuel sign. The National Benzole Company was formed in England in 1919. In 1957 National Benzole was acquired by Shell-Mex & BP Ltd but it was still known by the brand name of National Benzole. In the late 1960s it became more commonly known as National, as opposed to National Benzole, and National petrol products were sold by over 4,500 garages. When Shell and BP split in the 1970s, around 40% of the National stations changed to Shell, but the brand was retained by BP in England only.

Between 1981 and 1988 the name was slowly replaced by BP.
