EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the hustle and bustle of a petrol station comes to life as an attendant diligently fills up a car at the pump. The scene transports us back in time, with the classic design of the petrol station's signage and the simple, utilitarian uniform of the attendant in overalls. The forecourt is a hub of activity, with other cars parked nearby, their engines idling softly as their drivers wait their turn. The petrol pump, with its intricate machinery and bold price sign displaying the cost in shillings, stands as a testament to the importance of motor transport in the past. The attendant, with his hat and coat, expertly maneuvers the nozzle into the car's fuel tank, while keeping a watchful eye on the tank gauge. The background is filled with a variety of advertisements, including posters for Listerine, Swan margarine, Vesta pudding, and Dominion Power, showcasing the diverse range of consumer goods available during this era. The petrol station, a symbol of progress and convenience, is a beacon of activity even in the late hours, as indicated by the cafe sign and the illuminated National, Benzole, and Mercury logos. The winged helmet and winged figure of the Mercury logo, in particular, are iconic symbols of the motor industry and the freedom of the open road. This photograph captures a moment in history, offering a glimpse into the past and the role that petrol stations played in shaping our transportation landscape.
