I used to buy things from all three of them from time to time. Possibly the only Woolies things I have left now are a cutlery set I bought for my parents many years ago, and some Embassy records. In Witney there is now a shop called 'Wellworth it!' in the market place, but whether that's where Witney Wollies used to be I can't remember.
Hello Livewire.

The Witney Woolworths was at 18 High Street, not the Market Square.

I do remember the big Woolies in Oxford - it had a large cafeteria/restaurant on the first floor - IIRC, but it was a long time ago!
