Now I suspect in answer to Andy’s question he may very well be the only person taking pictures of this petrol station on Chester Road, near West Point.
And long may he continue to record our fast disappearing landscape like this one.
I might go looking for the plans for its redevelopment which will be available o line, or I might just wait for someone else to do the digging and report back.
There is of course a very important point to make here, not so much about the passing or the redevelopment of a petrol station but that Andy is out there recording our industrial landscape.
I long ago lost count of the number of photographs Andy had taken which catalogue the passing of everything from grand old houses to mucky warehouses, along with theatres, cinemas and even the odd shed.
They are already a magnificent collection of and will be prove to be a great resource, for everyone from the historian to the curious.
So with that said I shall make no apologies about posting a fair selection of Andy’s Chester Road petrol station and point out that in years to come the machinery will look as dated as those old telephone kiosks.
