Former petrol station

Ifold Motors at the junction of Hogwood Road and The Lane, Loxwood. The Q8 filling station is now closed and it's only a used car and servicing garage. Given its location (well off the beaten track down a maze of rural residential roads) it's hard to imagine that it could have ever survived as a filling station. I'm guessing that it must date from when every village had a petrol station of some sort.
