A British Automobile Association Employee Filling a Car With Petrol at a Petrol Station, 1920. 'The first petrol station in the country was opened by the Automobile Association, and from its first day did a brisk trade...the days of the horse on the roads of Britain were well and truly numbered. There was a new spirit ahead, one called gasoline, with all its attendant smells, smoke, honk and clatter'. From "Time To Remember - The Plunge Into Peace", 1920 (Reel 4); events of 1920 - weddings, women's rights, industrial unrest and problems in Ireland
