The Wander of Woolworths



So much for the Wonder of Woolies, it's wandered off into history.








Looking through the doors furthest from King St...







.. the old record dept. ...








.. and household goods.







The other doors in Halkett Place, nearer King St...








.. straight ahead to the TV / radio / cameras area "Sound and Vision".
Large - I forgot to downsize this pic.






.. and to the left, kitchenware and steps to the 1st floor.







Around into King St for the main entrance...








.. looking down the aisle all the way to the escalators.







On the left were greetings cards and stationary, to the right were the choccies and sweeties...







Outside, with the Christmas lights, showing where it nestled between BHS and Burtons...






.. closer (bit blurry).








The other direction, looking towards Queen St.








.. closer.

Merry Christmas!



From Broad St to the Royal Square... this won't be a bank this time next year, as they're moving up Vine St.






Looking back along Library Place (that was a library on the left).








.. and into the Square.








Statue.








Towards the Nativity Scene...







.. and back...







.. closer.








From the steps...









.. lighter version.







In the cosy corner.







From towards Halkett Place...







and from there, a quick glimpse of King St., where there won't be a Woolies next year.

Have a wonderful Christmas!

Yet more lights...


The Town Hall, St.Helier...










.. and towards the Parade from that area...








.. before we move on to Charing Cross...








.. and look back up York St...








.. closer.







Here I am, on my column. Hi!








The kind of view I have up King St and Broad St...








.. closer.







I like my spot here...







.. farther.







Down in Broad St where the taxis used to be...









.. next time we'll head onwards into the Royal Square.

Yet more lights



Nativity scene at West's Center









Heading up Bath St, a row of trees...







RBS from Minden Place...








.. closer.








Halkett Place...







.. closer.







The Parade Gardens - lights left over from the ice skating here last year?






General Don







Certainly brightens up this part of town - well done St.H!







The Cenotaph...







.. and Mr Sand-Sculptor's festive offering...








.. and on we go to York St and Charing Cross....

.. next time on "Why The Heck Does He Bother?"-matic :)
