In days gone by the Village Petrol station was as important to the community as the Village stores or Post Office . Before electricity came to some remote areas a garage would charge accumulators , or sell Paraffin for heating and lighting purposes , Others would mend electrical appliances and the all important wireless. Or maybe a place to catch up on the Village gossip while paying for fuel . But by 2005 the number of Petrol forecourts in the UK had fallen to bellow 10,000 for the first time since 1912.
