Hand casts unveiled at Ashington Asda

Posted by The Journal on Mar 10, 10 04:23 PM in News

Hollywood glamour arrived in Ashington with the unveiling of a celebrity star of fame.

The unique memento was created by local footballing legend, Jack Charlton, and Ashington FC's captain, Iain Nickalls, who joined store manager Barry Thompson in creating hand casts to mark the opening of Asda's new shop.

It was created last year but finally unveiled, complete with a commemorative plaque, in pride of place in the store this week.

Mr Thompson said: "Both Jack Charlton and Ashington FC helped to make the store opening a truly special day.

"This unique keepsake is something we'll treasure for years to come."

We'd like to hear from you.
