226 Garages and Service Stations

Philip Butler spent six years photographing British garages and service stations, treating them as architecture rather than roadside background. The result is a wonderfully specific record of buildings shaped by a century of motoring.

Mock Tudor, Streamline Moderne, postwar modernism and unlikely conversions all appear. A book for car people, architecture people and anyone who has ever noticed that the garage itself may be more interesting than the car parked outside.
