Markham Moor services, A1 southbound
Originally constructed as a petrol station canopy, converted to a Little Chef in 1989, disused 2012 to 2019, re-opened as a Starbucks in December 2019.
Hyperbolic paraboloid thin shell roof from 1960–61 designed by architect Hugh Segar (Sam) Scorer and structural engineer Dr Hajnal-Kónyi. After a campaign to protect it, it was saved from demolition by the Highways Agency in 2004 when it was listed Grade II 27 March 2012.
How about a new campaign to clear away all the dross underneath the roof so that it can float free once more on its original 4 piers? See original image at:
