Another location, which I had passed by some time earlier and only now was able to go take a closer look.
This is a former Shell service station built in 1964. Fuel was sold here until the early 2000’s, and since then it has hosted an earth moving company, at least according to Google Maps.
A few years before the shelter above the fuel pumps had been removed and contaminated soil removed from where cars used to refuel. Now the building sands kind of lonely.
But it definitely is a Shell. Their old service stations were white with brown stripes high up the walls.
As I said, service station, not petrol station. There had indeed been service available at some point.
They hadn’t really put in much effort to make the back side of the building nice.
The sign says private, but it hasn’t prevented me before and won’t now.
The large windows of the former café were painted with a huge graffiti, but weren’t broken. There was no access this time.
