Tesco fire

In 1993, a skip located outside the Tesco store was set alight by youths. The skip fire then spread to the roof of the Tesco store. The entire Tesco store was consequently burnt down. [1] The roofs of the units were not separated, so considerable damage was caused to the other units in the complex. During the rebuilding of Minor Centre, it was ensured that the loft space of each unit was separate, not shared, as previously.
