I see on the We Love Woolwich that the building is earmarked for demolition by Greenwich Council to make way for the Woolwich Triangle re-development.
I hate to see a building like this demolished when it could become a landmark feature of the redevelopment and provide a tanigible link to the past use of the site.
Please sign the online petition to Save the Woolwich Co-Op building and hopefully we will see this beautiful building occupied and operational again.

Oh my! Memories of my youth, taking the bus to Woolwich with friends, and shopping at the Co-op, then heading upstairs to the lovely cafeteria for tea. It seemed like such a huge department store that sold everything!
ReplyDeleteSo sad to see it looking like this! :-(
Every city had one of those department stores with a cafeteria and I don't think too many have survived.
