18th July 2006

Here is an old, roadside petrol pump. I took one look at the
bright red and the brick wall, and I was out of the car like a
cat on, well, hot bricks...

These have all but disappeared in England,
in the age of the big company petrol forecourt.

In fact, I have no idea what it was doing on the street,
as it was on the pavement next to a firm of solicitors.

Perhaps it now pumps whisky? ;)

great find. I like your choice of composition here...gives it a sort of quirky documentary feel. Good eye to find this.
