EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of petrol pumps illegally placed on the pavement outside a service station in Ellesmere, Shropshire, England during the 1960s. The practice of placing pumps on the sidewalk was not in compliance with local by-laws, yet it was a common sight in the era of increasing automobile usage and the rise of road trips. The image showcases a row of Shell petrol pumps, their gleaming nozzles and price boards drawing the attention of passersby. The pumps are flanked by a row of green Shield stamps for sale, a popular consumer loyalty scheme during the time. The green Shield stamps could be collected and redeemed for various household items, adding an extra incentive for motorists to refuel at this particular garage. The scene transports us back to a time when motoring was a growing trend, and the need for fuel was a daily necessity. The image is a testament to the history of transport and the evolution of the petrol station industry. The photograph's composition, with the pumps casting long shadows on the pavement, adds to its timeless appeal and makes it a fascinating glimpse into the past. Despite the illegality of the pumps' placement, the photograph conveys a sense of energy and activity, with the bustling crowd in the background and the pumps' constant flow of fuel. This photograph is a captivating reminder of a bygone era, when the simple act of refuelling was an event in itself.
