Red Hill filling station, Grade II listed filling station on A6 Loughborough Road, Leicester, England

The Red Hill filling station features circular canopies illuminated from below, supported by tapered central pylons covering cylindrical steel and black fuel pumps.

The station, constructed in the 1960s under the design direction of American architect Eliot Noyes, represents Mobil's worldwide Pegasus design implementation.

This structure received Grade II listed status in 2012, marking its importance as a representation of post-war roadside service architecture in Britain.

Located 300 meters north of Red Hill Circle in Birstall, the station continues to serve motorists while maintaining its original architectural elements.

Among nearly 20,000 stations built worldwide with the Pegasus design until the 1980s, this BP-operated facility contains the last six remaining circular canopies in the UK.
