philip butler captures britain's petrol age through 226 garages and service stations

Photographer Philip Butler turns his lens on a vanishing piece of Britain's built landscape in his book 226 Garages and Service Stations. The publication catalogues the nation's petrol age in 252 pages, capturing an architectural lineage that spans Mock-Tudor fantasies, streamlined moderne curves, and humble repair shops tucked into railway arches or converted chapels. Published in the spirit of Ed Ruscha's Twentysix Gasoline Stations (1963), Butler's survey reveals how the evolution of motoring shaped the architectural vernacular of the 20th century.
