Description

Woolworths has been on this site on the corner of Deansgate and Bridge Street since 1926, closed on 3rd January 2009

The Bolton News said. . . . . "FW Woolworth opened its Bolton branch in 1912 at 17-19 Oxford Street, just three years after the first UK store began business in Liverpool.

In 1926, the shop transferred to new premises in Deansgate. The store’s new home was at Britannia House, which used to be occupied by Constantine Brothers, a well-known firm of drapers and funeral furnishers.

The new store, adorned with a statue of Britannia herself, opened on November 27, just in time for Christmas, and soon flourished as a favourite place for shoppers looking for cheap, but quality, buys.

So robust was the business in these early years that despite the recession of 1959 the shop was redesigned and staff numbers increased by 50 per cent."
