Underworld's post#147 - Lord St./ Church St. showing "Bunnies"
If you look in the middle of the photo in Church St. you can see the 1st. F.W.Woolworth building to be established in Britain, 1909.
Notice the gable-end of the building, by the chimney, the advertising says:
Woolworth
6d STORES
Yes I see it too. And also the Edinburgh Cafe on the immediate left. By the way, thanks to whoever posted the guidance for zooming in and out on the forum its really usefull. Ctrl and + or Ctrl and - .
Here is another one of Church Street. It may have some buildings of interest. I particularly like the street lamps in this pic. They look Chinese.

Church St. View
Great photo underworld.
I haven't seen this view of Church St. before? Chuch Lane can be seen, just to the left of the "16 Cooper & Co 10" sign. Church Lane was between the old WHSmith & 2nd Woolies building [later Burtons/Topshop/ HMV]. In this photo you could drive right around the building.

Here is another row of buildings that I wish were still there in Lime St - The Washington Hotel and the Imperial Hotel on the right of the photo circa 1930.
Was this the site of the David Lewis building?
No, that was at the bottom of Parly somewhere. I think it was on the juction of Parly opposite the church next to the All Nations club. Both flattened now.
