Trivia and History

Gulf petrol station.
The former southbound Gulf forecourt.

The southbound side was built in the 1950s, while the northbound side is newer - 1970s or '80s. In 1988, Roadchef planned to build a restaurant next to each forecourt, but their plans were refused.

In 1990, Blue Boar planned to build a restaurant, shop, tourist information centre and motel beside the existing southbound forecourt, but this plan was refused too.

The northbound side was taken over by Template:Euro Garages in late 2015. Until then it included 'On the Run' branding and a Costa Coffee unit.

The southbound side had been a Gulf filling station operated by Bayford Group which was left derelict for a while until 2018 when BP Express bought the site. The new filling station is currently being built and is due to feature an M&S Simply Food store and Wild Bean Café.
