Pity there were no photies taken (as far as I know) of the Church st Woolworths before it went. I know there are some old black & white ones knocking about (from 1950s I think), but I mean pics of Woolworths late 1960's early 1970's.
I can just about remember what the upstairs cafe looked like. Can't really recall what the shop floor was like.
Hiya Linda...I've got a few pics of the outside of Blacklers...I've been offered a video of the inside being ripped out by the lads who got the contract to do the job...
the same lads who ripped out the POL Liverpool building..and WERE PAID to do it..
div>
They took out all the desks, filing cabinets...every bit of furniture from the POL building..got paid to do it as I said...and then sold the lot in their 2nd hand junk shop.
Same with Blacklers as well, took everything out and got paid to do it and sold the lot on....
I wont buy the Blacklers video off them until they drop their price..
I remember Woolies shop floor....photo machine on the left right by the door when you walked in..
got a pic of me and my Mrs taken in that machine when we were about 12...
Next to the photo machine was the heel repair counter and engravers...
still got a little charm thing I got my Katies name and mine engraved on.. 1975 I think.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...isn't that nice eh...eh...
