The original Hollowood Chemists vaccination centre was inside the Crewe Honda Centre showroom and administered over 100,000 jabs.

Roger Morris, Managing Director of Crewe Honda Centre, said: "I am delighted that I have been able to help once again in providing the area to carry out the vaccinations.

"It's an ideal area in a building that has been empty for over 40 years with plenty of parking. I am very proud that I can once again donate the use of the building and help the local community."

The new vaccination centre building had been empty for over 40 years.
