A £6MILLION supermarket in the centre of Clitheroe has opened its doors. Sainsbury's revamped a site in Moor Lane after the former Sun Street Mill was demolished. The new 17,500sq ft store includes 180 car parking spaces.
The opening ceremony was attended by Clitheroe Mayor and Mayoress John and Pat McGowan.
Also in attendance were Clitheroe Town Crier Roland Hailwood and Brookside Primary School pupil Sophie Le Breton.
Sophie, seven, painted a picture called 'Fishmonger' for a competition to launch the new store.
Her winning entry was turned into a massive poster and driven around town on a special van.
