I remember when walking past Corkhill & Job's in Grange road during the middle 50s you had to keep clear of the stuff been off loaded from there lorry's and taken up the side of the wharehouse. During the 50s did any one else have a wander down the passage between no 9 & 11 Cross Street and have a good look at the backs of those building in the triangle. It was like looking way back in time even in 50s
Ships that pass in the night, seldom seen and soon forgoten
Has anyone got plans of how the new Asda will look. Saw a little sketch on the boarding surrounding but couldn't make out where car park would be - underneath? or on the roof like the previous one was? any info please
The carpark looks as though it will be where the exsiting one is. I have heard aswell that there will be a 15 minute parking period for those who go into the shops. They have a similar system in Heswall for the Tesco store. There are cameras which clock when you arrive and when you leave, as you can imagine there will be alot of people parking there to go shopping
If you look at the third picture, the car park looks elevated aswell. Perhaps your right, I didn't know that there was going to be an underground car park!
•692 car park spaces will be available which will be almost 250 more spaces than are currently available at the Claughton Road car parks . this is taken off the above linked website,so if there are going to be more parking spaces than before,even after they have biult a supermarket on approx one third of the land that was in use as a carpark then it must go underground

Looking at it again the car park is entered off the main road underground and then you can drive up
The existing site consists of a series of commercial buildings situated between Grange Road, Catherine Street and Oliver Street together with three ground level public car parks. The existing site contains 440 space ‘Pay & Display’ public car parks A,B,and C.
Planning permission was granted in 2008 for an 8,800 sq.m (95,000sq.ft) retail foodstore with the associated car parking permission. The foodstore has been designed to front onto the existing Grange Road retail area with the service yard taking access from Exmouth Road and the [u]two level car parks [/u]accessed from a new signal controlled junction on Claughton Road.
In terms of car parking, a total of 692 spaces will be created with 92 spaces nearest to the town centre being managed under Council rules and tariffs with the remaining 600 spaces under ASDA’s terms.
