I remember shopping with my mum and dad in what I think was one of, if not the first, Tesco supermarkets in Church Street. I see it is still there. Isn't it amazing to think that when it first opened people were amazed by its size and range of products. I also used to be sent to the Co-op which was near the toilet block and had to remember our divi number, 049771. As a teenager I used to get all my fishing needs from (I think) Benwoods and have my hair cut two doors along.
