Mourning Mr Woolworth’s superior store and wondering how much the cocktails will be in its successor

Now there isn’t much to say really about that development on the corner of Brindretts and Wilbraham.

For a while the future of the old Woolworth’s was a brief conversation while waiting for a new set of drinks in the bar of your choice.

And now we know, it will be a bar/restaurant and maybe more.

Andy’s picture captures part of the transformation, and the other two, will form stories for the future.

All of which just leaves that appeal for stories and pictures of Mr Woolworth's superior store from more pahhy times.

You know the sort of thing.

"I worked there".  

"I bought my first screwdriver from the shop".

And "I met my boyfriend over the counter selling firelighters".
