Petrol (and diesel) pumps of yore.

Strangely beautiful, emission-unfriendly, Irish street furniture.

Photographer and journalist Stephen Davison writes:

Most of us think of America as the home of road trips, with cool fuel stations along the way.

But Ireland is full of old style stations that are steadily disappearing.

I’ve been capturing some of them before they go – about 500 and counting!

Name those locations (pics 1-3), anyone?

Also: Defiant Tricolour (pic 1). Mmf.

Coughlan’s carpet shop has stood on the corner of Aungier St and Longford St Little [Dublin 2] for decades. After it was recently demolished, the demolition crew were stunned to find two petrol pumps inside a cupboard!

Eh…

Anyone?

Thanks Billy
