A Son of the Rock

Woolworths is now sadly long gone. However my eldest son actually worked in our local store during the company’s last days.

Like me he has preserved an interest in the company – and its former shops.

Through him I discovered this post from Historic England describing many of the features to look for.

Like him, I didn’t know about the lion heads.

After university I worked in Hertford for a couple of years. I must have seen that shopfront but I can’t remember doing so.
