Woolworths ghost signs in Blackpool

A look at some ghost signs on a former Woolworths store on Blackpool promenade.

I was recently in Blackpool and while walking along the seafront saw the ghost signs of an old Woolworths.

The shop was most recently a Poundland. Before that it had been a TJ Hughes.

Note the Covid-19 sign on the left. This itself is a bit of a ghost sign these days as little notice is taken of the warning anymore

I'm a big fan of ghost signs


Other former Woolworths shops

It's fun seeing old & lost brands, ghost signs and retail relics. We saw a Woolworths ghost sign in Nuneaton in May this year. That was a nice surprise!

Like the Blackpool store, the Nuneaton shop site had also most recently been a Poundland and a TJ Hughes.

  1. A new magic-themed indoor minigolf course is opening in Blackpool.

    The team at the Hole in Wand minigolf in York are opening a second venue, this one will be on Blackpool Promenade.

    The indoor miniature golf course will be opening in part of the former Woolworths unit on the seafront!

    We're often over in Blackpool as it's one of our local seasides. The last time I was there I was lucky enough to see the ghost signs of the former Woolies store!
