What happened
Totton Timber, a business founded by Jack Baker, is closing permanently on December 22. In 1981, the company refused an offer from Asda to sell its Glen Road site, which Asda wanted for a planned 55,000-square-foot superstore. An agreement was eventually reached that allowed Totton Timber to relocate to a new site.
