Leigh Mitchell… Miss Woolies
Wendy Henry Wilson…When I was a Saturday girl there, in 1966, there was a till on every counter and having moved away from Hastings in 1975, these pictures in 1983 sadly, don’t look at all like to the shop that I knew. I enjoyed my time working there and am always happy to say “I worked at Woolworths in Hastings”. Who remembers the buttered crispy rolls in the staff Cafeteria which we put smokey bacon crisps in, on our break?
Janette Marshall… I loved Woolworths, it was the shop equivalent of Ebay. You could get anything there lol
Stuart Moir… A sad loss to the town
Sue Adey… Wow. That was a great shop
Shona Goobie… Big loss. No decent shops here now
Phil Szomszor… Remember that store through my youth, from buying pic n mix and toys as a young child and then browsing all the LPs and cassettes every lunchtime on my Sainsbury’s Saturday job. Fond memories, love pics like this.
Sandie Carlyon… My first Saturday job there.
Jane Collins… mine as well Sandie! Half a day on Saturdays
Micky Erends… I remember buying fishing tackle in Woolworths, wonderful place
