Multiple Brands - Sussex 1930's
Every time I see an old photo with a thatched canopy I think of how health and safety these days just wouldn't allow for such things. It's insane anyway, a thatched canopy would take so much more maintenance - I'm amazed such a thing ever occurred in the first place but back in the 1930's planning controls were pretty strict and anything like a petrol station had to try and blend in with its surroundings - not like today when any such considerations have gone out the window.
