Dead Transport Artefacts: Abandoned Petrol Station and Little Chef, Kentford, Suffolk - 8th September 2005
Alongside the A14 near Kentford in Suffolk lie the remains of Kentford Filling Station North and a Little Chef, both abandoned a couple of years ago and both crumbling into the ground, aided and abetted by passing squatters and vandals, by the looks of it. Nosher stops off on the way home from work in Cambridge one evening to have a look round and take photos. It's slightly unsettling; something like a scene from a post-apocopolyptic Sci-fi film such as Day of the Triffids or 28 Days Later, with the thought that there might still be squatters lurking in the ruins whilst the traffic drones by obliviously on the nearby highway. The door to the Little Chef has been broken open, so there's even a chance to timidly peer inside.

The tiles have are like some sort of ceramic beach
More tiles, close up, look like books
The old petrol station shop
Garage shop, in a state of slight disrepair
An HGV's windscreen lies shattered on the ground
More broken glass
A wrecked Daily Fail newspaper box
A station identity
A wheel-less whellbarrow
The derelict Little Chef building
Looking through the windows
There's a hot, fetid smell inside the Little Chef
The furniture adds to the post-apocalyptic feel
A Little Chef bin
Diesel-Engined Road Vehicles, this way
Shop shelves still remain
Another view of the trashed shop
Discarded cassette tapes litter the area
Petrol-station detritus
A pile of broken concrete
The way in is blocked
Hint: you can use the left and right cursor keys to navigate between albums, and between photos when in the photo viewer
