Okay, it is actually good news for the Roman Road (Bow, London) that this closed Woolworths (a few minutes away from where I work) is being converted into an Iceland store.In Forest Gate the "Woollies" has been turned into a Tesco Express which is also I think an assert to the local community.
It is still a real shame that the Woolworth chain collapsed. I didn’t visit the store that often like many others but of course now it is closed I am always running out of “essential” domestic items that they would have stocked (e.g. R50 light bulbs, batteries, gloves and Birthday cards!).
No longer will we use the phrase "I'll just pop into Woollies".
