I think I am right in saying that the first supermarket in Accrington was Associated Dairies (I am not sure that they called themselves ASDA at the time,) on Blackburn Road occupying premises vacated by the Co-op, and it was established about 1964.
It was a pretty crude affair, with rough-sawn wooden racks, and goods displayed in the outer packaging as received, i.e. large cardboard boxes slashed open to display the contents.
