Fawcett Street, Woolworths Building

A 1930s building constructed for F.W. Woolworth on the site of the former Queen’s Hotel. The Queen’s Hotel opened in 1857 with an early 20th-century arcade and shops. By the 1920s Woolworths occupied the two shops and subsequently redeveloped the plot to construct a retail store. The new retail store was constructed in an Art Deco style with a steel frame and faience cladding. The building was later occupied by Primark.
