Pleasant read and some interesting buildings for those interested in design and archtitecture.

I saw this earlier, I like the petrol station especially but there are many omissions and the article shows that it isn't just 'buildings' that are listed like the Bristol sign. In Cheltenham there are a number of early postboxes known as 'Penfold' post boxes that are listed too.

Do you have any pictures? I enjoyed your cheltenham thread you posted in the architecture section.

The petrol station tickled my fancy too as being pretty unique.

This is one of eight listed postboxes in the town and the only one to still have it's enamel flap:

We have a local skatepark that's to be given a grade 11 listed status.

Have filled up at the petrol station in birstall, and it's really from a different era when firms wanted quality design rather than just cheap tat.

The old filling station at Markham moor is listed which has a pretty cool parabolic roof under which is now a tatty closed up little chef

What I love about that filling station in Birstall is it still looks more modern than anything of a similar use built today
