Went in to Huntingdon town centre today basically to get some bits and also wanted to see if I could pick up a last bargin at Woolworths however it had closed early as everything had been sold right down to the kithchen sink in the staff room it seems.
It was a shame to see that it was the last trading day for Woolworths
I purchase my 1st ever single from Woolworths back when they were 7″ vinyl
In the days of my DJ’ing I used to do a weekly trip down to Woolworths to make sure we had every hit in the top 30…. which we managed to do for about 4 years..(you do not know how many Singles that can build up over that period of time).
I always remember getting the yearly trip with parents and grandparents to get a uniform for school.
We even purchase some of Sams school uniform from them this year amazing how this tradition will cease as of today…must have been many families throughout the last 100 years.
Anyway a sad day for the highstreet.
Good bye Woolworth’s
