Markham Moor Scorer Building

The Markham Moor Scorer Building, designed by architect Sam Scorer, is a Grade II listed structure located at the Markham Moor junction services on the A1. Originally built as a petrol station between 1959 and 1960, it features a striking hyperbolic paraboloid canopy, a hallmark of Googie architecture. The building has transitioned from a petrol station to a Happy Eater restaurant, then a Little Chef, and is now a Starbucks drive-through. Its unique design and historical significance make it an interesting stop for tourists and researchers alike, especially those interested in mid-20th century architecture and engineering.
