Study of a Gasoline Station

Sainsbury's, Attleborough. This photograph is part of a series taken in homage to the American artist Ed Ruscha's 1963 publication of 'Twentysix Gasoline Stations'. More properly known as filling stations in the UK, I am attempting to photograph as many as possible to mark the sixty year anniversary.

Crop field south of Bunn's Bank

Bunn's Bank is a fragmentary earthwork that runs for about two miles along the south and east of the parish. The exact age of this embankment is not known and some believe that it is early Saxon in date. According to local tradition, however, it was built by King Edmund in the 9th century to help defend his 'royal town' against the marauding Danes. Other short sections of Bunn's Bank can be found in the area, such as near the village of Carleton Rode > Link.
