A Stoke-on-Trent Icon: The History of Woolworths Hanley (1920-2008)

In 1915, World War One did not stop Woolworth expanding and they opened their 55th store on Upper Market Square in Hanley,
There was something for everyone at Woolworth’s stores, which were on the High Street in major towns and cities throughout England and Wales.
Affectionately known as “Woolies”, these stores were like Aladin’s cave. They were stocked with a wide range of goods that attracted customers of all ages from all walks of life. Among the things you could buy at Woolworths were toys and games, chocolate and sweets, pop records and portable radios, car accessories, household paint, stationery and stamps, electric fires and fan heaters, garden furniture and plants… The list is endless.
Everyone who shopped at Woolworths will have memories of the store they bought from - its staff and the things they sold. If you and your family shopped at “Woolies” in Hanley, please share your memories and tell us what you bought.

Woolies might possibly be returning to high streets, can't see it coming back to Hanley duck though.
