Excellent- More about Fuelling the Motoring Age: 100 Years of British Petrol Stations
Petrol stations have been a part of our lives for 100 years, providing fuel, services, and community connections. They have evolved from simple tin cans to modern forecourts, and the possibility of not using petrol is becoming a reality.

Petrol stations have been a staple of our lives for over 100 years, providing essential services to communities across rural and industrial landscapes. These stations have become integral to the fabric of these communities, offering a range of services that cater to the needs of drivers. In the past, petrol stations were staffed by men and women in slightly oily overalls who would fill up your car's tank, wipe the windscreen, and even check the oil for you. Football coins, Green Shield Stamps, soup bowls, or wine glasses might be handed over as tokens of appreciation for your custom. These days, a single £1 note is enough to buy hundreds of miles of happy motoring, thanks to the advancements in technology and the increasing demand for fuel. This vivid, illustrated history takes the reader on a journey from collecting a tin can at the local ironmongers to filling up on the forecourt and on to the possibility of not using petrol at all.
