Description: | August 1976. The Asda supermarket on the Howley Park Trading Estate at Morley photographed one Sunday before Sunday opening was allowed, hence the empty car park. The store has sides painted blue with a ramp to push the trolleys up past an ice-cream vending trailer. Sales of petrol are from the kiosk on the extreme left which has a Mobil sign at the other side of the entrance.
In the background is the red brick building originally part of William Baines' Britannia Mills that was nearly knocked down in the demolition of the rest of the mill, but which was saved by Asda and eventually restored by them for office accommodation and technical servicing. Since this picture was taken the whole complex has been rebuilt again.
