IT all began with a photo of the Northern Supermarket in Whitby Avenue in York.
We asked readers if they remembered the store - which some reported to be York's first supermarket - and the floodgates opened.
Readers have been sharing memories, not only of the Northern, but also of a long list of other well-known and loved supermarts in York that are no longer with us.
And we've had a look through our archives to find some old photos of some more of York's long 'lost' supermarkets.
The photos...
Our photos today include: The Co-op in Acomb in 1973; Frank Dee's Supermarket, Clifton Green in 1974; Liptons in Goodramgate in late 1980s or early 1990s; Presto in Acomb's Front Street in 1979; Tesco, in Piccadilly in 1988; Robsons in Haxby and Jackson's in Fulford Road in 2000.
