Rob and I witnessed the final day of Woolworths in Hastings on Saturday. He brought me the Best of the Stereophonics, Decade in the Sun album in there and as we got to the counter to pay there was an announcement to say everything was 90% reduced. It cost £1.97.
I am so sad about Woollies. It has been in the same place for as long as I have been alive and a trip into the town centre didn't feel right unless we'd visited the store. I was a bit down so Rob and I had a wander along the seafront, heading towards Hastings Old Town. We visited antique shops and looked at the old houses. We then wandered back into the town centre just in time to see the manager locking the main doors at Woolworths for the last time. No one seemed to notice except us. Its sad that a store like that should close with no ceremony and ignored by all of those around.

Yes Donna its really sad, our main street seems dead without Woolies.
Woolies was the first "store" in Peterlee, i remember as a small child going right past its door on the bus, before the town became pedestrianised and modernised. It is a shame that they have closed now, but they started pricing themselves out of business years ago.
