Was just going to check Hudderfield on the Sainsbury website. I think everything BL related is under Rover on the MOT side now? LightBulbFun 1

H2's are horribly expensive, horribly fast and horribly ugly. Fat_Pirate and LightBulbFun 2

I know we're here to discuss the cars, rather than architecture but some of these 70s/80s builds are much better than the boxes we have today. Bury St Eds as an example there - that store has been refurbished at some point in the 2000s, the cafe with windows has been demolished moved to the back of the main store, and has no windows and the front arches have been demolished and the whole place covered in some awful silver cladding. danthecapriman and trigger 2
bunglebus Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Getting harder to remember what's new and what's already been posted. Blackfriars 1972

Don't know what the answer is though. Probably not helped by the site constantly being updated and preview images being replaced by coloured blocks saying "this appears to be from a collection ......". What is that all about?

bunglebus Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Also says the new Sainsburys in Brentwood opened in 1998 which is fine, except the high st branch it replaced was still open - says closed in the 60's?

Closest we got was my grandads hands and arms in shot when Anglia news filmed a story on the market and I think I remember seeing my dad in the background staring into the camera

Richard_FM Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 This is a great thread unfortunately the pictures of the Stockport branch doesn’t have many good car related photos, I’ll see if Denton has any better ones.
