EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to April 1940, capturing the essence of Woolworths in Edmonton, Greater London. The iconic F W Woolworth And Company Limited store on Fore Street stands tall and proud, showcasing its impressive front elevation. In this snapshot from history, we are treated to a glimpse of two distinct departments that were sure to enthrall shoppers during that era - the Horticultural Department and Toy Dept. The display windows beckon passersby with their carefully arranged assortment of vibrant flowers and plants, while inside awaits a treasure trove of toys ready to ignite the imaginations of children. The architectural details are strikingly evident as well; the building's facade exudes an air of grandeur with its ornate detailing and large glass windows that allow natural light to flood into the interior spaces. It is clear that every effort was made to create an inviting atmosphere for customers stepping through those doors. Preserved by Fox Photos Limited, this archival image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Woolworths as a beloved retail institution. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it transports us back to an era when shopping at Woolworths was more than just buying goods – it was an experience filled with wonderment and excitement for both young and old alike.
