INTERIOR WOOLWORTHS, MOSTYN STREET, LLANDUDNO 24-12-200819 viewsThe pitiful remains of the once mighty Woolworths empire are picked over by bargain hunters in the Llandudno store. Even the shelving units themselves are disappearing as they are sold off, with the remaining shelves full of dusty & ancient stock retrieved from the depths of the storeoom. Sad to see it end this way.
