The digger and road roller on the left are on Green Lane, Trinity Church is behind them, New Road runs across the centre of the view with Apperley Lane in the upper middle. On the right is the JCT 600 garage, the new roundabout would become known as the JCT roundabout, the garage/car sales business also now has a site on the opposite side of New Road (May 2014). |

This site is situated at the junction of New Road and Apperley Lane, a petrol station on the site was demolished, there was also a showroom for JCT 600 cars.
A new showroom for JCT 600 is being constructed.
The company was founded in 1946 by Edward Tordoff, the company name was taken from the personalised number plate of a car which belonged to Jack Tordoff.

A friend at school told me it is being turned into a Sainsbury’s as her Nan has been made manager.

My husband worked there too, Mr Brown and as well as painting cars painted Jack Tordoff’s plane in a hangar at LBA!

I used to be a Saab mechanic there, worked there for 19 years, and yes it’s JCT 600 which stands for Jack Crossly Tordoff!

My dad always told me that my Great Grandad and Jack Tordoff’s dad were mates. He would say they went off on trips to collect eggs from Norwood and Fewston. We suspect they were really going to the pub for lunch.

Planning permission is for a Sainsbury’s local and a petrol station.
