EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the West Midlands on a chilly winter day, precisely on the 19th of February in 1975. The image showcases a classic petrol station sign that once stood proudly along a bustling road. As we delve into this snapshot of history, it becomes evident that this era was defined by its love affair with cars and the need for fuel to keep them running. The vibrant colors and bold typography of the sign catch our attention immediately. It proudly displays enticing offers for fuel prices, reminding us how different things were back then compared to today's ever-fluctuating rates. The Co-op logo adorns the sign, symbolizing trust and reliability during those times. Looking closer at the scene, we notice vintage pumps lining up neatly beside each other, ready to serve eager motorists who relied heavily on these stations for their transportation needs. Quad stamps are visible on one pump, hinting at an interesting aspect of purchasing fuel during this period. Transported back in time through this photograph, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation as drivers pulled up to fill their tanks or grab some snacks from inside the garage shop. This image serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when petrol stations were not just places to refuel but also social hubs where people connected while embarking on their journeys across West Midlands' roads. Coventry Telegraph Archive has truly captured a moment frozen in time with this remarkable print – an ode to an iconic piece of our automotive heritage
