EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Great Central Filling Station on the corner of Marylebone Road and Wyndham Street in London during the 1910s. The image showcases a bustling scene of early motorists refueling their vehicles at the station's petrol pumps. The filling station, with its distinctive red and white signage, was a vital hub for the growing number of automobile owners in the city. The building's architecture is a blend of the old and the new, with its ornate railings and classical design elements contrasting sharply with the modern petrol pumps and tyre inflation machine. The station's entrance, adorned with a large "Benzole" and "Mixture" sign, invites passersby to enter and avail themselves of the services on offer. The pavement outside the station is filled with a diverse array of vehicles, from sleek, open-topped cars to horse-drawn carts and bicycles. The power of the internal combustion engine was rapidly transforming the way people traveled, but the horse and cart were still a common sight on the streets of London. The Great Central Filling Station was not only a place to refuel but also a social hub, where people would gather to exchange news and information. The sculptural monumental sign atop the building, featuring a figure of a man holding a torch, symbolized the power and progress that the new technology represented. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the transport landscape of London during the 1910s.
