Former Petrol Station - Gallows Wood Service Station, Melton Rd, Barnetby le Wold, North Lincolnshire.
Although this site has been occupied by Gallows Wood Recovery for many years I'd never realised that this had at one point been a filling station despite passing it regularly over the last two years.
Even though I live around half an hour from here Chris Barker had beat me to photographing this site and had the information that this road had been a main traffic route until the construction of the nearby M180 Motorway (which I didn't know if honest) with completion of this no doubt affecting the amount of traffic using this stretch of road which would have certainly had a knock on effect on trade at this Service Station.
Paul Roper added that this had been both an Esso & Major filling station before it's closure sometime in the 1980's as a new fuel forecourt opened up on the M180/A15 interchange (Junction 5) which again would add more suffering to sales of fuel
Today just a single pump stands which is used for refuelling the numerous recovery vehicles with the site looking unchanged all throughout street view.
