Our History

The first Woolworths store on this site is referred to in Stanley Holloway’s famous comic monologue and bestseller, Albert and The Lion. Albert was ‘a little lad … swallowed whole’ by the lion in the menagerie at the foot of Blackpool Tower. Albert had prodded the beast with ‘a stick with an ‘orse’s ‘ead ‘andle, the finest that Woolworths could sell’. The original 78rpm monologue recording was sold in Woolworths store in Blackpool in 1923 for sixpence. Holloway later became a character actor and the mainstay of the ‘Ealing’ comedies.
