Report - Cobbler's Corner Petrol Station, Lincolnshire March 2020

[Bobski64]

Stumbled across this deserted petrol station yesterday, so went back for a visit today. It's my first report, so I hope I report this correctly.

From what I can gather, the petrol station shut down a few years ago and the owner lived on site, but passed away last year. The building looked like it had been built in about the 1930s and is in the process of being renovated/demolished and pretty much everything had been stripped out. I presume it will be gone shortly.

Sorry I appear to have added the pictures twice and can't see how to remove one set.

That place could look really atmospheric! Almost has an American gas station feel about it. Good location for a short film perhaps.

Fixed by your's truly

Not a bad effort and thanks for sharing

I've passed that many times but not had chance to stop to take a look. Glad to see inside it now thanks

Something different. Welcome to 28 dl, not a bad effort on first report. I must admit I wasn't expecting that stained leaded window, modern I know, just seemed out of place here

I remember passing this recently. Found out it’s been derelict for at least 10 years if not more. There’s an old pic of it up on Geograph from 10 years back in the same state. Wonder why nothings happened with it yet?
