Certain shops that bring back happy memories of Christmas as a child
Depending on how old you are, there are certain shops that bring back happy memories of Christmas as a child. Whether it's Toys R Us, Woolworths or the Co-op. Many of us will remember heading into the city to soak up the atmosphere at Christmas time. Whether it was to visit Santa at the Co-op or the Broadmarsh, or to just gaze at at the fascinating window displays and enjoying something to eat with our nearest and dearest.
Before the days of online shopping, we would all rush to stores like Toys R Us for the latest products. And if there was enough demand, stores would open at midnight to cope. The Post reported in 1999 that the Toys 'R' Us in Queens Drive opened at midnight on Thursday to launch the new Star Wars toys. And in 1997, youngsters were all rushing to Toys R Us to get their hands on craze - Tamagotchi electronic pets.
Woolworths closed in 2008 after many years as a UK high street mainstay. The much-loved Woolworths store in Nottingham’s Victoria Centre shut up shop after the firm went into administration in 2008 after initially opening its first branch in the city in Lister Gate way back in 1914. Who can forget the pick 'n' mix and going to buy a new tape from Woolies. The iconic store had aisles full of affordable items that had no real business being stacked together.
