I rented a room in SMackworth for 6 months. That was my local supermarket. It's okay.  The Homebase isn't too shit either.

Can’t quite get the same angle as the trees have grown so you can’t stand any further up the bank. Also the original photographer had a better zoom lens than my phone!

Congratulations, the 1987 photo contains a Yugo 45??

Sadly couldn't find a Dacia in the 2019 photo?

I can't believe theres any of that style Sainsburys left. Hardly anythings changed except the trees behind it. 

I see they've put a grander entrance on in an attempt to polish a turd though.

I'm gunna stick me neck out and say that the cars in the 2019 picture are almost as colourful as those in 1987.

Who`d have thought this topic would have been quite as brilliant as its turned out to be!

Only thing is, I cant seem to see any pics on the website, I click on them but there's no pic, just coloured boxes with the description on (using W10 on Google Chrome), anyone else having this issue?

Not all stores have pictures publicly available, some have the boxes with a description of something in the archive but no actual pictures.

Tell me that red car to the right of the white Datsun is a Solara and not a Tag...

Pretty sure that's a Solara. Only ever seen one Tagora in the metal - in a breakers yard

Look at that SD1 ! 

Not only is it a 6 year old 3500 at a time most Government Car Service cars would have been Ambassadors, it's running Dunlop Denovos on steel rims, something I've never seen outside of an advert. I wonder if this means it's got some form of light armour plating?  The Windows look normal, so probably not.

Cool wing mirrors too, presumably because that was what they'd always specified and in 1976 cars didn't usually have door mirrors.

Taxed until February 1987, sez DVLA. No trace of it after that.

Norwich 1978, stick on heated rear window, and pretty tired. Who knew that it could be worth eleventy million pounds 40 years later.

Baby in pram, doing a double take -  'Daaaaaaaaaad, Muuuuuuuuuuum, I'm terminally embarrassed, why can't we have a Peugeot 404 like the Jones's?'
