Woolworths is gone: from a pin to a needle

Woolworths ended it's legendary 99 year run in January 2009. Dean Puckett and Jason Ramasami took to the streets of Brixton to ask people whether it was more than a shop. It was affecting to see the responses. Please comment!

Thanks for commenting! Unsure about the Pub - have you tried google street view? You would be amazed what that thing picks up. Respect.

I love it! The old ladies are quality and the guy who says he is devestated and Woolworths is his life cracks me up. Keep em coming Deano. Jason's presenting and interview skills are excellent to.

This is an excellent piece of work, presenting a good balanced view, well edited and capturing the essence of thousands of letters and emails received by the Company since the sad news. Woolworths opened in Brixton Road on the other side of the railway on 10 Dec 1910, and traded continuously through two world wars, spanning the reigns of five monarchs. It moved to the landmark Art Deco building in September 1937. What a shame that it could not survive a credit crunch. Brilliant, 10/10.
