Old cars in the car park, Great Western Road. 9th July, 1990. Sports Centre under construction in background. it won't last half as long as these cars have lasted.

Comments:
The Pickaquoy centre which is an arts & sports complex was opened by the Princess Royal on 16th April 1999 but the track did not open until 24th June 1999. Surely didn't take 9 years to complete.
[Now you mention it, it looks like what was Prestos going up- Steven]

Oops! Sorry! Goofed again. I do not withdraw my remarks about the probable lifespan of the Sports Centre compared to that of the old cars. Of course you can say the same thing about Prestos/Somerfields. But the Power Station will last for ever.
