EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Petrol Station Forecourt, Perry Barr, Birmingham on 11th February 1972. The image captures a scene of both anticipation and frustration as individuals patiently wait in their cars for fuel during an era plagued by energy crises and blackouts. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced during this time, with long queues forming outside petrol stations due to limited oil supplies.
