West Street Petrol Station:
A rather banal petrol station, sited on West Street, beside the ramp up onto Kingston Bridge. Located west of the city centre, this was a Esso Petroleum Company Ltd service station.
Recently vacated the station like an increasing number lies empty as the supermarkets tighten their grip on petrol retailing. A simple design of a small rectangular box with a flying shelter on legs this station is atypical of petrol stations across the UK.
