Trivia and History
It is rare for a petrol station to receive services signs when it is so close to a village, but in this case it may be the village doesn't want traffic stopping in it.
The site started out as a small garage workshop known as Seabank Garage in the 1970s, the home of car sales dealership Aberystwyth Cars, which later gained fuel facilities. The site later became a full filling station with a café and restaurant in the 1980s, with Lloyd Motors being based here for a time.
The site was then acquired by local retailer John Thomas & Sons in October 1996, who already operated large Costcutter stores in nearby Aberaeron and New Quay. Following their takeover, they added Shell fuels and a large Costcutter store. A large car wash and jet wash were later added in 2008.
By 2011, the forecourt had been rebranded to Texaco. John Thomas & Sons continue to operate the site to this day, but much of the shop building now sits vacant following the closure of the café and restaurant in around 2014.
