Sir – With reference to the photograph of Christmas shoppers queuing in a city centre store in 1960 (Re-View, December 26, page 24), I believe the store is Woolworths.
As a schoolgirl walking from St Faith’s School in Woodstock Road to Gloucester Green to catch the Eynsham bus, I was sometimes tempted to detour via Woolworths and spend some hard-earned pocket money, usually on gobstoppers as these were real value for money, and one gobstopper would last almost until I got home…
I would be interested to learn whether other readers believe this to be Woolworths as well.
