New petrol pumps at Finstown PO (Wood's shop)

Date estimated.

As well as being the Finstown Telegraph Office, Wood's shop also seesm to have sold cycles and motors.

There seems to have been a few clerks of works in attendance at this job!

Where was this? To me it looks like where Mrs Linklaters PO is now, but I know that it has moved about a bit since then.
