East Sheen Filling Station

MATERIALS: painted brick, partly pebbledashed; pitched timber roof clad in pantiles.

PLAN: the filling station is a small rectangular structure comprising an office/shop to the rear with a forecourt in front, both covered by a single pitched roof. The rear block is roughly square, and is pebbledashed above a high brick plinth. Facing the forecourt are two windows flanking a central doorway, their apertures and cills original but the glazing and door now renewed. The large window in the west flank preserves its original Crittall-type glazing, but the smaller window and doorway in the east flank have been blocked up. The low-pitched chalet-style roof structure has a boarded soffit and deep overhanging eaves carried on moulded triangular brackets. At the north end it is supported on two square brick piers, between which are set the (modern) petrol pumps. The gable above has applied half-timbering and a scroll finial. The interior of the shop has been wholly modernised and is not of special interest.
