MURCO filling station, Huddersfield Road, Holmfirth
At this time when petrol prices were falling and most garages and supermarkets selling at under £1 a litre, this one was charging 105.9 pence. In a recent forum discussion on this site, "GHo" explained using industry inside knowledge that "smaller companies such as Murco cannot get the same economies of scale or cross-subsidy that the larger ones get. Also, the stuff sold at supermarkets is an inferior product therefore can be sold cheaper."

Interior of St Andrew's church, Thongsbridge
For the outside of the church, see Image This is the inside, looking liturgical west (geographically south-west).
The church was built in 1877 as a chapel of ease. A school was added in 1891. There was a burial ground opened in 1938 but it was never used for burials and was sold in 1988.
Note: the building was closed for worship in 2013 and sold to a private owner in 2020 (after this photo was taken) with planning permission for residential conversion, so is no longer publicly accessible. This view shows it as it had been as a place of worship.
