EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by the talented artist Michael Walters in 1965, transports us back to a petrol station forecourt in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. The bustling scene showcases the iconic Ross service station, which not only catered to fuel needs but also operated a car rental agency. The image reveals an era when Esso was the prominent petrol company, as their vibrant signage proudly adorns the station. Amidst this lively backdrop stands an Austin 1800 automobile being filled up behind the pumps. Although affectionately nicknamed "Land Crab" this model gained popularity after its introduction in 1964 and remained in production for ten years with over 387,000 cars manufactured. Walters' monochromatic lens perfectly captures the essence of British road transport during this time period.
