Woods also used to supply cigarettes wholesale to other shops willow, the photograph of the shop and the Union St WMC is in the Brooks Club, it was taken on the day they were shut to enable Barclays Bank to extend, it also has the date I'll have a look this afternoon, I'm going in for the tea time banter.
