TESCO GOES EST | 1st March 1968 | The Commercial Motor ArchiveI remember delivering Luis Gordon wines and spirits to this former Tesco RDC in Westbury in the 1970s and also to their HQ in Cheshunt which was vastly different to how it looks today. I can also recall that there were stories going around at the time about Sainsbury’s Hoddesden being very fussy about lorries leaking oil onto their floor.
Te company I worked for also regularly delivered to Colwall, but having never gone there myself who it was escapes me.
Any other recollections about these long gone RDCs ?
We used to deliver 24 pallet loads of beer into Sainsbugs Hoddesden in the '70s. Waiting times were criminal; it was rumoured that lorries entered there and were never seen again. But then, Sainsbugs Basingstoke was ten times worse!!!

That’s an understatement, Argos at Whitwood 
they were a disgrace. Some of the big RDC’s could make Liverpool dockers look like amateurs.
