Butterwick Belt

Derelict filling station on north side of A689 The old petrol station was clearly a modest affair by modern standards, having just a tiny forecourt. It has been disused for some time - even seven year's earlier, Pauline's image shows the building to be in a poor state <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4015894" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4015894">Link</a> .
