Description
This petrol station, built in 1932, was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield. It features a hexagonal plan and is constructed from red brick with ashlar details, topped with a copper and slate roof. Each side has a round-arched opening, with impost bands and keystones, an eaves band, and a cornice, culminating in a parapet. The lower half of the roof is tent-shaped and metal-clad, while the upper half is pointed, adorned with a ball finial and a glass torch. The building serves as a visual terminus for the view eastwards along Headrow and Eastgate. The interior has not been inspected.
