Letter: Children at the supermarkets

Sir: Tony King's letter (12 June) regarding the sepia photographs in Dorchester Tesco reminded me of similar prints in the Slough store. Images of the Licensed Victuallers' School which previously stood on the site adorn the walls behind the checkouts. Closer inspection, however, shows that the front door to the school is boarded-up and padlocked. This has always seemed to me to be cruel, almost ghoulish. Presumably the bulldozers are just out of shot.

Yours faithfully,
