It used to be a Pub!

Most of us blame the larger Supermarkets for the closure of the small shops, however in my view yes it is them; but Tesco's Express shops are in my view the worst offenders.
This used to be a Pub; it closed about a year ago and soon after, this happened
Just a bit further along out of view is a Co-op; so how Tesco's managed to get change of Use I can only assume was money talks.
Just a mile away is the one of the largest Tesco's in England, and another one of these Express outlets in the opposite direction; also less than a mile away!
Where my friend lives in Crosby one of these opened; last year.
From way back in the 40's it was garage, I got my first car from there in the late 60's.
Rant over for now; wet dull warmish today.
Cheers penny.
