EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless charm of Woolworths Fishergate in Preston, Lancashire. The image showcases the iconic Art Deco facade and fascia sign that adorned the upper floors of this beloved store between 1972 and 1986. Originally established by F W Woolworth and Co Ltd in February 1910, this was their second store in Preston. Initially situated at the junction of Guildhall Street and Fishergate, it later relocated to its current location at 30-31 Fishergate in 1922. For nearly a century, Woolworths served as a hub for shoppers seeking quality goods and friendly service. The photograph not only highlights the architectural beauty of the building but also evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when department stores were bustling with activity. The intricate details of the Art Deco design are truly mesmerizing, showcasing an era known for its elegance and sophistication. Sadly, like many other traditional retailers, Woolworths closed its doors in 2008. However, it found new life as a Next store after undergoing renovations. This print is a testament to both history enthusiasts and admirers of art deco architecture alike. It serves as a reminder of how buildings can hold memories within their walls while also representing an important chapter in our cultural heritage.
