Trivia and History
Plans for a service area here date back to 1955 where a filling station and garage were proposed by local car salesmen S H Newsome & Co. Ltd.. The service area was built in the early 1960s.
By 1987, the site was now under direct BP control and there were plans to build a new filling station, drive-thru restaurant and a block of residential sheltered housing here however the plans were refused due to the excessive over-use of land these plans proposed.
In 1990, BP were granted permission to build new petrol station, car wash, restaurant, 40-bed hotel and business facility on the site however these were never built.
In 2000, another attempt to add a restaurant to the site was submitted but these plans were later withdrawn.
The attached store used to be Safeway. This changed to a M&S Simply Food store with a Wild Bean Café offering in 2007.
The A45 here is maintained by the local authority, which may explain why such a small site has formal road signs.
