EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the dedicated mechanic Mr. Keith Brodrick in action at Butts Garage. With a determined expression on his face, he is seen putting up a prominent "No Petrol" notice on the garage's front window. This powerful image captures the essence of an era when Coventry and Warwickshire petrol stations and garages faced an uncertain future. The year was 1973, and distributors were gradually phasing out deliveries to small retailers like Butts Garage. The consequences were dire as some establishments had already been forced to close their doors due to lack of supply. VIP, a subsidiary of the mammoth Occidental group, had ceased delivery to three garages including Corley More, the Butts, and B&D Motors. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by local businesses during that time period. It symbolizes resilience in the face of adversity as Mr. Brodrick takes matters into his own hands by alerting customers about the scarcity of fuel. Set against a backdrop of vintage cars parked along the road outside Butts Garage, this image transports us back to 1970s West Midlands with its distinct charm and character. It showcases not only Mr. Brodrick's dedication but also highlights how crucial these small-scale petrol stations were for transportation needs in Coventry. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints from Coventry Telegraph Archive, this print offers viewers a glimpse into history while reminding us of the importance of supporting
