End of a High street era.

The Woolworths chain, which would be turning 100 years old this year will be officially closed as of tomorrow. It's really sad to think that a company that has had such a presence on our high streets for so long, now can't compete with the behemoth Supermarkets.

I used to beg my mum for a pick & mix whilst she wandered round the isles of home wear, music and children's clothes.


Turns out Woolworths used to do an adult fashion line too! These models wear swimwear from the Summer 1980 collection.


Farewell Woolworthes and the best of luck to all their employees. I wonder which giant retail chains might be next...
