Old Woolies
Former Woolworths store
Last updated: 7 December 2011.
Given the growing number of former Woolworths shops that I’ve photographed for this blog over the past three years, I thought it would be useful to create a single contents page to list all the featured stores in the North East.
My current count of former stores photographed and visited is:
- North East stores closed in Dec 2008 / Jan 2009: 33 (out of 33)
- Stores outside North East closed in Dec 2008 / Jan 2009: (to be added later)
- Stores closed prior to Woolworths’ administration: (to be added later)
Stores closed following Woolworths’ collapse in 2008 – North East
