The old Asda opened about 1978, and the car park of the new Asda is on the site. There is a Datsun Cherry and Morris Ital (facelifted Marina) in this early 1980s photograph on a miserable winter day. I remember GMT operating the Asda free bus from town at this time, but this was misused by people who lived in the Scot Lane area who could go on a bus without paying the fare.

My daughter was born in 1969 and she used to go to my uncle’s house every Wednesday for her” Asda money” he died in 1972 so it was definitely open by then
