I mourn the death of Woolworth's - The branch on The Flat was the centre of my universe aged 0-10 when living in Heaton St 1949-59, it's where I got my Airfix plastic kits (2/- - 10p) and from those I progressed to balsa wood flying kits. Woolies did a number of things that were "own brand", I had a Hornby Model Railway and got my accessories from Norton's Toy Dept, Woolworth's had their own brand of model railways and it had a good range of items - in some cases they had accessories which were not available in the Horby range and they were much cheaper but less soundly made - can anyone remember the brand? I think it my have been Playcraft.
