FW Woolworth opened his first UK store  in the UK at 25 Church Street, Liverpool in November 1909, translating a 5 & dime idea in the USA into 3d & 6d. By the 1930s there were over 400 stores across the country.

Woolies as we affectionately called it, joined the nation in celebrating every Royal occasion with souvenir china and bunting. In our ceramic, we see the shop decked out ready for the Silver Jubilee of King George & Queen Mary, in 1935. At that time, Woolworths boasted that they sold Nothing over 6d but World War II, and inflation soon ended that!
