Description: | August 1999. This building as erected in 1969-70 by Tesco on the site of Queen Street Wesleyan Sunday School. It was an integral supermarket on both floors with a continuous escalator connecting the two levels. In five years time it had been closed and sold by Tesco, which makes one wonder why they were so keen to build there in the first place. All the supermarkets that have opened on Queen Street which could not have their own parking space have closed down. These include Fine Fare, Coopers, Grandways, Carlines, Morley Co-op and the two firms that tried to run this building (just downstairs) as a supermarket, Bakers and Poundstretcher. It has ended up in 1999 as two charity shops, a children's shop and the job centre along the main frontage and a betting shop around the side with little activity at all on the second storey.
