EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on November 2nd, 1920, showcases the enchanting façade of the Kingston-upon-Thames branch of F.W. Woolworth & Co. Ltd. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past as we admire the intricate architectural details of this historic building. The photograph features the exterior of the store, adorned with ornate brickwork and decorative elements. Two large display windows, filled with an array of enticing merchandise, invite passersby to explore the wonders within. A bicycle, parked outside, hints at the convenience of shopping for everyday essentials and leisure items under one roof. The architects responsible for the design of this stunning building were North, Robin and P.J. Wilsdon. Though the exact location of this branch is uncertain, as the information in the Bedford Lemere daybook does not provide precise details, it is not believed to be in the Market Place where Woolworths later established their presence from 1931 until closure. This photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the rich retail history of Kingston-upon-Thames. The architectural elegance of the building and the allure of the merchandise displayed in the windows serve as a reminder of the charm and appeal that once drew shoppers to the Kingston-upon-Thames Woolworths branch over a century ago.
