St Leonards Tesco demolition and building of new store 2008 - in pictures

Who remembers the old St Leonards Tesco store?

It was demolished in 2008 and a bright, shining new store was built in its place. These pictures from our archives show the process, the grand opening of the huge Tesco Extra on December 1 2008, and  a visit by Gordon Brown,   who was prime minister at the time, during his election campaign.
