Synopsis
An eclectic collection of photographs of old, odd, abandoned, derelict and mostly forgotten filling stations and garages. These are accompanied by a light waffle about the slow demise of a once-thriving industry as we slowly move towards a future without petrol engines, without brands such as Burmah, Prince or Rix, without Four star or sets of wine glasses bought with reward points for filling the family Sierra. Some of the 120 sites show a faded beauty, as mother nature reclaims her land, others are ugly beyond words and still strangely photogenic. From pretty, wisteria-clad cottages and pumps with patina, to eyesore, diesel spill grot spots in windswept locations, this book captures a wide range of these locations before the developers move in and build yet another identikit housing estate on it over-populated by cars on tick and folks who will never know the joy of collecting a Smurf from a National garage, of getting a fab lolly from the fridge, or from spotting a rotting Land Rover round the back as your Dad filled up. Some garages have a wonderful back story, others we simply photographed from afar for fear of the resident travellers mugging us for the camera. All have a story to tell and we hope that we have captured enough of these locations to ensure future generations get a snapshot of what was once an important part of our landscape. We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we did researching it. The is the Midlands and North of England edition, other regional editions will follow very shortly.
