I believe there is an intention to do something with the roundabout, etc., here .. but that's all I know ... suspect they don't know themselves yet.

Don't think this will be a problem to Tesco Dec ... they will just demand that Ormerod Street be demolished ...

It proves that the site of Tesco is .. absolutely bang on the site of all the track and buildings etc of our lovely old Accrington railway station. It shows where the waiting rooms were, the parcels office, the refreshment rooms. It shows where the Goods Shed was, behind the wall which now faces the front of The Globe centre.
Pop in and have a look, its rather interesting.
had a sneck this morning some great pics, a couple of main platform 1 of accy station, when it was a station. ta atarah

Re: TESCO - new site in Accrington.
The security guard on this site is hilarious, bumped into him as he was walking around the site last night and got talking to him. He obviously knew we were travellers an was asking were our caravans were.

We told him tht a family of romanies had been evicted from the site a few months earlier and he kept asking who Victor was,..... we found this absolutely hilarious lol suppose the alcohol helped make it funnier.

Their new employee's will be the ones made redundant by the shop closures, and most of them will be part time jobs just above the minimum wage. Britcliffe's gang were bamboozled with the promise of the new jobs.
