Over half the people surveyed wanted to see Woolworths back on the high street. Woolies, as it was affectionately known. Was famous for its pick ‘n’ mix sweet section, and in the 1980s boasted the biggest selling pop music section in the UK.

This kids toy superstore, that was once a haven for children everywhere, was second on the list with 18 per cent of people keen to see it return.
