Tesco Metro, Faringdon
Normally a store this size would not be a Metro, which is half way between a Superstore and an Express (which are being closed as they have little business), but as a regular user the names are based on the range of stock rather than the size. Superstores sell electrical goods, books, mobile phones, clothing, toys and have a pharmacy, while normal supermarkets are the same size but only sell standard supermarket stock. The one in Finchley was downgraded using the same building.

Faringdon railway station (site), Oxfordshire
Opened in 1864 by the Faringdon Railway at the end of the short branch from Uffington, this station closed to passengers in 1951 and completely in 1964. The line became part of the Great Western Railway in 1886.
View south east from the boundary and the approximate position of the buffers. The single platform was to the right of the building.
