The photograph is featured in JS Journal February/March 1969 with the caption "About a mile from the centre of Bristol a new precinct is being built in the Bedminster shopping centre. It will lie behind the terrace of shops on the left of the picture. A new arterial road will run alongside it with a car park on its other side linked to the new development by a subway. JS [Sainsbury's] will have a new supermarket of nearly 9,000 square feet of sales area. Through the rain you can see on the right hand side of the road WD and HO Wills' Factory. The medieaval style structure in the right foreground is the local police station.".
The photograph was taken on Bedminster Parade, and is actually some distance from where the store was built - the store was further away than the buildings in the background of the picture.
