There are certain stores that hold unique nostalgic memories for those that grew up when the high street was still king.
While many of us can remember being reluctantly dragged around iconic shops such as C&A, BHS, Littlewoods and Debenhams as kids, it’s Woolworths that holds a very special place in all our hearts.
From enjoying the pick ‘n’ mix as a youngster, to spending your hard-earned pocket money on a cassette or CD, here we step back inside Woolworths in Preston, Chorley and Lancaster to relive it once more.
