Trivia and History
James Graven & Sons, who also owned the filling station at Ely at the time, submitted plans in 2008 for a BP filling station to be built at the north-east of the junction here where the A10 meets the A1101. Permission was granted in March 2009 with the filling station opening in early 2010 with a SPAR store.
James Graven & Sons later sold the business onto BP Express in 2015 who removed the SPAR store and introduced a M&S Simply Food store with Wild Bean Café offering to the site. Evidence of their previous ownership can still be seen on a large engraved stone on the side of the sales building.
The site was subject to a ramraid on 15 December 2017 which saw the cash machine ripped from the sales building using a forklift truck.
