Maybe not quite as Daft as you think he is guess where his first port of call will be should something go missing from the site Dec

We arent aloud to shout for metal when we go hoking anymore dave, its intimidating according to lancashire constabulary. So we just shove the amber lights on the roof on and beep our horns haha.

Again, thanks to Less for making us aware of the legal document :

Scroll down to page 41 point 7.24 for details of the area size of the new Tesco's, it will cover 8599 sq metres, with car parking and landscaping, but .....underneath is a super duper sketch of how the Tesco store will look.
Quite amazing!

Few photos from this morning. We can now easily see The Globe in the background.(wonder who years ago had the sense to retain one of the original walls of Howard and Bulloughs?) What a clever person! The whole site of this proposed Tesco's is huge!

Got a couple of pics on my phone later on this afternoon of the HUGE digger taking the roof off!

Doubt the pics'll be any good tho

Tesco say Accrington will be a `medium` sized store. and in comparison Haslingdon is classed as a `medium` sized store.

It seems this isn't as cut and dried as we thought it was. Tesco's are to be offered space on the new extension to the Arndale

Seems odd.

I thought demolition/building was well under way, and the new Tesco was due to open in June of this year.
