Thursday 29th March 2012
The vehicular access to the new Waitrose supermarket
in Warminster is off Station Road and partly occupies
what was once a narrower road
to the former Dents glove factory (the factory was demolished
to make way for Waitrose) and also what were the premises of
Warminster Press (printing works)
which were also demolished to open up the location.
Pedestrians can also access the store this way too,
using the new pavement, and there is another access
(for pedestrians only) at Fairfield Road.
These photographs taken by Danny Howell, at lunchtime on
Thursday 29th March 2012 (the day Waitrose in Warminster
first opened for trading) show customers arriving and leaving
in cars and on foot. The pavement at the Station Road junction
has been widened, and landscaping with shrubs enhances the entrance.
There’s even a splendid new seat for weary shoppers
to rest awhile before heading home with their shopping bags.
