A large section of an exterior wall at the Asda superstore in Hayle, Cornwall, collapsed into the car park on Monday, February 2. The store, located on South Quay, has been temporarily closed following the incident.
Pictures from the scene show rubble and debris scattered across disabled parking bays near the store entrance. Barriers have been erected around the pile of bricks, and the large Asda sign appears to be left hanging as part of the wall behind the second 'A' crumbled to the ground.
No injuries have been reported. An Asda spokesperson attributed the collapse to recent adverse weather conditions, stating: 'Due to recent adverse weather conditions, we’ve had to temporarily close our Hayle Harbour store, and a small area outside has been cordoned off for safety.'
The spokesperson confirmed that the Penzance Express and Falmouth stores remain open as usual. Customers have been thanked for their understanding and will be notified when the Hayle store reopens.
