BP - Kendal Station, Longpool, Kendal, Cumbria 1960's
Here's a shot that combines two of my favourite things - railway architecture and petrol stations! In the distance beyond under the bridge on the left is a BP sign and a large banner saying petrol. It's a shame there's a van parked there which blocks off the view of pumps that might be behind it. Here's much the same view today although impossible to get the right angle on Streetview - can't see what was the garage. Also amazing to note the expansion of the station buildings since this shot was taken. www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.3315789,-2.7395341,3a,75y,21.19... moving a bit further along the road it becomes apparent just how much the little garage expanded over the years although what was probably the petrol forecourt sadly looking rather derelict now. The Porsche Centre though looks to be doing well slightly further along. www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.332027,-2.7391374,3a,75y,0.75h,...
