Today’s photo comes from Shane, who sent us his Walker Power Building concepts a few weeks ago.
This photo was taken by his grandmother and it shows the A & P that was located at Talbot road and Queens avenue. The building is long gone and a modern RBC stands in its place.
Thanks to Shane for sharing this picture with us. We don’t visit the county all that often. If you’ve got anything to share like this old photo, sent me a message, I’d love to feature it.

How many locations were in Leamington altogether? If there have been four locations altogether, this one on Talbot and Queen would have had to been the 2nd one, as it has moved twice since then. It was in County Fair Mall where FreshCo is until 2000, then it moved to its current location south of Walmart before it changed to Metro.
The first A&P was at 35 Talbot St. E, the second location was on Erie St.South on the west side,later it became a carpet store when A&P opened in the mall with Zellers, the fourth site is the present location. The Erie ST.westside location was opened in 1960. Jim Laurie, Dave Lamarsh and Wayne (Pat) Hartley moved to the new store, the Talbot St. store remained until the mall location opened.
I worked at Talbot St. Erie St. westside, and in the ninties at the mall location for a reline.
Before the county mall location they were located on Erie Street South, where the Shopper's Drugmart currently is.
Does anyone remember the X-ray machine in the shoe store that let you check how well the new shoes fit. I had a lot of fun playing with that as a kid.
@Douglas Hutchins: Is not that a Dangerous thing to have played with? Radiation can do most serious damage to a person's deoxyribonucleic acid including that of the genitalia. It can cause sickness!
Ron, sure now it is. It was fine, then. Like cigarette's.
