Can't find picture of the other as yet but will keep on looking..


Two 1960s British petrol stations were on Tuesday awarded Grade II protected status, fuelling interest in an establishment whose architecture is usually associated with drab uniformity.

English Heritage awarded the accolades to a UFO-style winged station on the A1 at Markham Moor in Nottinghamshire and a second station with six 'parasols' over the pumps in Birstall, Leicestershire -- both in central England.
