A small part of Wokingham town centre history is set to come under the hammer next week.
The monthly auction by Martin and Pole will feature a sign that was once part of the Woodworth store in Peach Street.
Lot 110 is described at: “A projecting Woolworth shop sign from Peach Street, Wokingham, which closed on January 6, 2009.”
The sign is estimated at between £200 and £300.
Valuer Mark Weekly told Wokingham Today: “The sign was salvaged by an ex employee when the Wokingham branch closed its doors for the last time.
“That ironically coincided with the 100-year anniversary of the first UK Woolworth store opening in 1909.”
The former Woolworth store is now home to Poundstretcher.
The auction will take place from 10am on Wednesday, July 9. It can be viewed in person and online.
