EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era - the National Benzole filling station in Harbourne, Birmingham, in 1968. The creator of this nostalgic image remains unknown, but their ability to freeze a moment in time is undeniable. The scene depicts an automobile-centric society that was prevalent during the 1960s. A sleek car stands at one of the fuel pumps, its chrome accents gleaming under the soft light. The concrete structure of the garage looms behind it, exuding a sense of solidity and permanence. Birmingham's bustling streets serve as a backdrop to this snapshot from history. The cityscape showcases both modernity and tradition, with buildings that have stood for centuries juxtaposed against more contemporary structures. The National Benzole signage proudly adorns the petrol station, symbolizing an iconic brand that played a significant role in Britain's motoring culture. This image transports us back to an era when filling stations were not just places to refuel but also social hubs where people gathered and exchanged stories. As we gaze upon this retro photograph today, we are reminded of how transportation has evolved over time. It serves as a reminder of our collective past while offering insights into how far we have come. This print from 1968 is not just an artifact; it represents our shared heritage and invites us to reflect on our ever-changing world.
