IT all began with a photo of the Northern Supermarket in Whitby Avenue in York. We asked readers if they remembered the store - which some reported to be York s first supermarket - and the floodgates opened. Readers have been sharing memories, not only of the Northern, but also of a long list of other well-known and loved supermarts in York that are no longer with us. And we ve had a look through our archives to find some old photos of some more of York s long lost supermarkets.
The photos. Our photos today include: The Co-op in Acomb in 1973; Frank Dee s Supermarket, Clifton Green in 1974; Liptons in Goodramgate in late 1980s or early 1990s; Presto in Acomb s Front Street in 1979; Tesco, in Piccadilly in 1988; Robsons in Haxby and Jackson s in Fulford Road in 2000.
The former Bootham and Monk Ward Conservative Club A YORK club dating back more than a century has closed for good and the site has been sold after members decided to merge it with another club. The Bootham and Monk Ward Conservative Club in Clarence Street is set to be demolished to make way for a residential development, with the proceeds being used to invest in a major refurbishment of the Heworth Conservative Club. The club in East Parade, Heworth, will be renamed the Heworth and Bootham Conservative Club following the merger. Club president Roy Walker said details of the revamp were being finalised but would include moving the bar to create a larger seating area for the increased membership and new additional toilets upstairs, with disabled toilets provided downstairs.
