It may no longer exist but Woolworths is one of those high street chains that is remembered with great affection by so many people from across our areas and beyond
We have been looking back through our archives and are again pleased to bring you some more pictures showing how many of our traditional high streets have changed over the years and earlier, including a look back to the Walthamstow branch of the company.
