Asda Redevelopment General Rees Square, Cwmbran August 2000
Asda, already in Cwmbran at Llewelyn Walk, wanted a larger premises. They attempted to purchase the Post Office and its yard, for an even larger store. The Post Office refused to sell despite the cramped conditions of their sorting office, on the grounds that they wished "the main office co-located with the counter". Today the Post Office counter is in WH Smith and Rugby Heaven are in the old counter premises...
The multi-storey car park being demolished to make way for the store was only built in the 1970s.
