Trivia and History

A road between two brick buildings, surrounded by overgrown grass.
The old southbound garage buildings before being demolished.

Both garages date back to the 1930s. The northbound side was built in the corner of the realigned West Road and the A23 Dale Hill. When the A23 was realigned, the old road became part of the forecourt. The site has been operated by Tates, who run the used car dealer here, since at least the 1970s and continues to be to this day. The site was originally known as the 'Blue Star Garage'.

The southbound one was built right in the middle of the split between the A23 and the B2036 (now A273). The original alignment of these two roads now forms part of the circulatory roads used to access the modern petrol station. The filling station had a neighbouring garage, but this was closed and demolished in 2008 to make way for a much larger, upgraded site. This new filling station became a BP Express site and gained a M&S Simply Food store and Wild Bean Café.

BP added a BP Pulse electric vehicle charging point to their forecourt in late 2022, with the chargers going live in early 2023.
