London Road Co-Op Closing Down Next February

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That's a shame. Possibly the last bastion of non-chavvishness in London Road to bite the dust.

Critical moment for London Road. Will the Co-Op site be done up like Hanningtons was, with designer outlets, or just allowed to rot?

RIP

I bought a pair of primsoles there for £5 about 15 years back for an epic game of football down Pressie. I looked like a fat albino Cliff Richard, but there were sparkles in my toes.

RIP, but it will ROT.

blimey where will hb&b do his saturday shopping now?

 

[Scoffers]

my long departed grandmother used to go shopping there all the time, so it has a kind of bizarre place in my heart!

 

[bhaexpress]

Bet it becomes a Netto.

 

[REDLAND]

The Post Office and Kitchen shop down stairs will be sadly missed !!!

 

[Trish]

Shame. I wish now that I had shopped there more frequently. I bought some curtains from them about five years ago and a washing machine nearly 15 years ago.

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

I remember buying the Phil Collins 'Face Value' LP there for 5.99. Bargain !!

Fingers crossed. Will add value to my buy-to-lets in the area.

I no longer live in the Preston Circus area I have moved onto the Preston Park/ Dyke Road area thank you so much

 

[Brovion]

Is it just the department store closing? Or is the supermarket part going as well? Although it's joined onto the main store it's a separate building built in the 1960s.

 

[CHAPPERS]

It's a rubbish shop anyway, the cafe is good though.

When I was a youngster, I used to go in there with my nan and my mum to meet Santa Claus and go to the toy department, absolute shame it is going to close next year.

RIP LONDON ROAD CO-OP.

don't worry kev santa will be at churchill square

 

[Rougvie]

That area has been slowly allowed to degenerate into a ghetto of fast food shops, Cheque cashing joints and pawnbrokers.

I fear the battle for London Road was lost several years ago.

London Road will become an even grimmer place now
