I remember it - It had a large window frontage where you could see people on high stools facing out, eating off a window shelf - many looked a little like itinerants - so I never went in.

A member of my family (who lives down the road from me now) worked at Woolworths when it was there.....forever telling me things from the years she worked there.

And apparently she went to the first MacDonalds in London with her children when it opened and had fish(!) which she says was horrible.
