Woolworth was once the most in-demand retailers in the UK. It is best remembered for its 'pic n mix' selection and a stationery section adored by kids.
St John's Shopping Centre and Bootle Strand were among places where you could find Woolworths in Liverpool.
The news it was closing came as a huge shock to shoppers. As it was their ultimate go-to place, it sold everything from mobile phones to children's clothing.
