eny one remember a garage at what is now wynsors world of shoes, well they had a petrol pump that was a vending machine you put a fiver in got five pounds worth of petrol, if the fiver had a crease in it shot it back at you.

it will not get you far now, :confused:
 
i live very close to that site, the only other thing i remember that was on there was the car dealers, but ive only lived here for twelve years so i guess your talking about long before that?
 
I remember the petrol station but I dont remember the pumps though (think I was too young to take any notice tbh) I do know how little fuel you get for a fiver these days, its shocking the price of petrol / diesel now
 
Im not going back that far lol Im sure I remeber a petrol station there but Im only going back to the 80's. Was it gone before then or am I getting confused with somewhere else

I remember that Petrol Station and the machine.
One night the machine went wrong and all the taxi drivers in Blackburn and Accrington filled their tanks for nothing...the news went round like wildfire and the pump was completely drained.
The following morning the owner of the garage made a plea in the telegraph and the radio that anyone who got petrol for nothing "Would they please call into the garage to pay for the petrol"
Outcome not known :confused::confused::confused:
