An early morning capture of the old Birchfield Garage/filling station in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, taken during a recent visit to the area.
The history of this site appears a bit sketchy; the middle pump has prices in Pence, which dates it post decimalisation of 1971. I’ve not found any reference as to when this forecourt ceased dispensing fuel and was left to the elements, perhaps it may have fallen into disuse once the requirement to dispense fuel in Litres was mandated in 1995; the pumps are all in imperial gallons.
I saw a post recently somewhere from someone purporting to be the owner, who stated that the garage to the side of the pumps is still in use and therefore asks that posts relating to the site not be tagged as abandoned.

Unfortunately, we don't have an electric car yet, so we occasionally have to fill up the car with gasoline. It's also a shame that you can't get to all photo locations by bus and train. But the next car will definitely be an electric car. Promised!

... au bas du col de Portel, à quelques mètres du panneau annonçant l’entrée dans la ville...
Maman ne manquait jamais, quand on passait devant le panneau "Quillan", de lâcher cette phrase sibylline : « Quilhan quand podèn*... ». Papa, sentant le coup perfide venir depuis les premiers lacets du col, dos arrondi, mains crispées sur le volant, béret vissé sur la tête, regard rivé au-delà du capot de la 2CV, ne pipait mot… Du haut de mes huit ans, je sentais confusément que toute question serait malvenue ; mes yeux allaient de l’un à l’autre, essayant de comprendre…
Papa, toi si chaleureux, toi si bienveillant, toi si prévenant, tu as peut-être eu quelques coups de pompe ! Mais, j’en suis sûr, jamais à cause d’une panne des sens…

From a slide I took in 1977, converted to monochrome, restored as best was possible and given a 'dream' treatment.
This black and white photo of a supermarket service station at night is a reworking of an earlier color image (flic.kr/p/2neYpjM).
It was created by converting the RAW file of a long exposure photograph (6 seconds, f/22, ISO 100) directly into a black and white image.
In the past I have tended to work with the color image before converting it to black and white. This time all further editing was done on the black and white, rather than the color, image.
Filling up here, I would worry - seriously worry, about getting water in my gas.

Unfortunately, the proportion of electric charging stations is still far too low, especially in rural areas.
A quiet moment, nothing grand, nothing staged. Just the ordinary caught in the right light, where small details turn poetic. The kind of scene you’d walk past a hundred times—until you don’t.
