EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate ironwork of DP131063, located at the former Caffyns Garage on Goring Road in West Worthing, Sussex. The focus of this image lies on the forecourt, where a mesmerizing detail of petrol tank filling opercula steals the spotlight. Crafted for Anglo American Oil Co Ltd, these opercula showcase remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail. The photograph by Derek showcases not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this ironwork masterpiece. It serves as a testament to an era when petrol stations were more than just functional spaces; they were architectural marvels that added charm and character to their surroundings. The composition invites viewers to appreciate every curve and line etched into these opercula, highlighting their importance in protecting and securing fuel tanks during a time when safety was paramount. The contrast between light and shadow accentuates each delicate feature, bringing them to life within this monochromatic frame. Through this photograph, Historic England allows us to delve into our rich industrial heritage while reminding us of the skilled artisans who contributed to shaping our built environment. This image is not merely a snapshot frozen in time; it is an invitation to explore history through artistry – an invitation we gladly accept with awe and admiration.
