Don't recall Jack Foultons being (wasn't it just "The Freezer Shop" at one point? What is now Iceland (and was the soft play gym [Little Rascals?] was once Hillards, and pretty sure it was another supermarket - (Grandway?) in between. |

No, GT Smiths was knocked down and rebuilt as what is now the pub and bookies. Grandways/Hillards is the other side of the precinct next door to Barclays Bank. |

Tesco was still open into the 1980's.
Was a very dour depressing place to shop, a mantle that's now been taken on by ASDA at Sandal. |
