The artwork, titled FWW01_05_01_03, depicts the iconic Liverpool store and is a testament to the remarkable growth of Woolworths between 1909 and 1928. The drawing beautifully captures the evolution of this renowned retail giant, with detailed notes outlining its expansion over two decades. This publication was a special Christmas gift sent to all dedicated Woolworths staff members in 1928, commemorating twenty years since the opening of their first branch in England. As we delve into this piece of history through archival lenses, it becomes evident that by 1928, Woolworths had established an impressive network comprising 343 stores across England.
