Taking a guess from the background it could be what became the Jet filling station and is now the Hand Carwash just before the Dunn Street junction.

Good morning Larry,
Would you have any idea who the Stamp Foden operated with in the Bristol area before finding it’s way to your neck of the woods ?. Also interesting to see a photo of you and to be able to put a face to a name.
Regards and keep safe, Allan
Hi Allan, IIRC It was an owner drivers Foden, Ed Stamp got it from Dennis Eastwood Tyburn Road Birmingham it was just over a year old, When Ed sold it Chas Leonard at Guisbrough got it. Hope this info is good. Larry.
Hi Tyneside, Crows filling St.was on the left just before C & E Fuel Injection depot, Larry.

The Northumberlandia Country Park on the Blagdon to Cramlington road next to the Snowy Owl pub backs onto the site of the old airfield (or what’s left of it after the open-casting). At the far North-East corner of the Park (just off the A1068) there are a couple of display boards giving some background and history of the airfield. The storyboards say that the airfield closed in the mid-1930s.
