Markham Moor by night - a photo on Flickriver

The magnificent Markham Moor filling station on the A1. Designed in 1960-61 by Sam Scorer and a German refugee engineer, Dr. Haynal-Kónyi, the hyperbolic paraboloid roof was originally a cover for the petrol pumps of the Lincolnshire Motor Co. Later, a Little Chef 'restaurant' was built under the roof.
The building has stood empty for many years and was looking very shabby before being recently refurbished and made available to let. Apparently, it is one of only two listed filling stations in the UK.
I'd live in it if I could. Better still, I'd live opposite so I could look at it for longer.
