Mobil forecourt canopies

Petrol filling station canopy constructed in 1979 to the 1960s designs of Eliot Noyes (1910-1977). Steel posts and canopy frames, comprising six separate, overlapping, circular units on tall plain posts. Twenty-eight radiating segments create the circular shape, which meet on a ring at the post. Each canopy unit is white and edged by a red and white strip containing the word 'ESSO', which appears to be applied in paint. Beneath each canopy unit, attached to the post, is a pair of rectangular metal boxes presumably containing up-lighters. The pumps beneath the canopy and the adjacent forecourt building are not included in the designation.
