A CAR dealership which has been a Barnsley landmark for decades is to close at the end of the year.
Bristol Street Motors’ SEAT dealership, which was for many years known as Ted Johnson Honda, will close on December 31.
Ted Johnson bought the land in 1960 but it is believed cars have been bought and sold at the site since 1938.
There are no redundancies as a result of the closure, as rival group Cars2 is taking over the franchise and building a new SEAT dealership off Pontefract Road alongside its existing Hyundai and Peugeot showrooms.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
