Re: Woolworths Electrical Counter
Man happy memories of the counters at Leytonstone High Road and Bakers Arms branches. The testing of every light bulb at purchase and all the batteries loose on the counter. Different low voltage bulbs that had to be “unscrewed” from their cardboard boards.
A lovely range of Ever-ready pocket torches. Still have several.
Nothing wrapped until bought.
Also remember the transition from the huge flat wooden counters with two staff each to the self service ones around 1966.
