A few decades ago, the tills at Woolworths would be jingling all year round. It was the
00:06
home of Pick and Mix, Lady Bird Children's Clothes, and it's where we all ventured for
00:11
the new number one record in the charts, or the latest released double album, on vinyl
00:15
of course. Are the memories coming back? The main store was in Bankhay Street, with another
00:21
branch in Talbot Road and one in South Shore. They all succumbed to the demise of high street
00:26
shopping. It was a massive deal when they finally closed. These pictures rewind to probably
00:31
the most iconic lost store on the high street, and one which is guaranteed to evoke nostalgia.
