Mr Windsor Rackham, of Waitrose Development Department with one of the new customer trollys which have been specially designed for us.

Our new branch at Crowborough opened this week. The branch is built into the side of a hill and one exit is one floor higher than the shop itself.

The trolleys are made to be taken up on the escallators, as they have rubber-clad feet at front and rear which stand comfortably on the moving stairs.
