It was once an integral part of almost every High Street.
Many of you will have memories of visiting a Woolworths store in South Tyneside whether it was in Jarrow or South Shields.
We have reminders from the shoppers’ favourite with scenes from King Street in 1966 to the re-opening of a branch in 2006.
There’s plenty more besides including views from 1986, 1987 and 1990.
Have a look and see if you remember any of these scenes, or perhaps remember the things you loved to buy in Woolies.
Maybe you still have a product that you bought from the store which is still going strong.
We would love to hear from you so get in touch and tell us more by emailing [email protected]
