Pretty certain the Maypole was next to the new Woolies on Broadway Claytonx. The same book mentioned above has a photo of Little Blackburn Road 1963 with a grocer on the first corner on the left, but it was Melias not Maypole. And Jaysay, I think Mac Fisheries was next door to Maypole on Broadway.
Mobertol, I dont think Asda was around when I left Accy in 1968, I certainly don't remember it.

The Supermarket on Blackburn Road was there....but it wasn't called Asda....it was called
Queens. My daughter was born in 1968 and I can remember taking her into
Queens supermarket as a very small baby.
I think the branding of the supermarket as ASDA came later....but not quite sure when.
