Abandoned Texaco - London Road, Brandon, Suffolk 1991
Amazingly this garage was totally transformed within a year rather than just being demolished or left to rot still further. The large factory building behind, Lingwood Works, dealt with the rabbit fur trade which was an important part of the local economy. See here for a little more detail historicengland.org.uk/services-skills/education/educatio... Eventually the factory was demolished and a new Tesco supermarket resides on the same site now. The petrol station survives to this day though.
