Keele services is a motorway service station, between junctions 15 and 16 of the M6 motorway near Keele in England. Operated by Welcome Break, it was built in 1963 and was designed by Terence Verity of Verity Associates.
The nearest towns are Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. Close by is Keele University, which has the largest university campus in Europe.[citation needed] It is possible to walk and drive from the University grounds to the Service Station, and this has been a popular route for students.
Both sides of the site have Shell petrol stations, W H Smith and Starbucks. There are KFC and Burger King restaurants on the bridge over the motorway.
On 27 August 1984, a fire ripped through the service station bridge at Keele, between its two bases, but there were no injuries.[2]
