Woolco Department Store Opened 1972
In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s the then Hatfield Rural District Council and the Commission for the New Towns were concerned about the inadequacy of the shopping facilities within Hatfield Town Centre. The solution was to adopt a new system of trading introduced by the Woolco Division of F.W.Woolworth Ltd. The new store was described as “An out of town department store in the Town Centre”.

Lena’s Visit Helped Both Her Single and the Store
I am sure this personal appearance by Lena Zavaroni at the store not only helped with the promotion of her single but also brought the Woolco store to the attention of the wider public. The event benefited both Lena and the store.
The photo of Lena signing the plaster cast of eight-year-old Donna Jerome must also have contributed to that promotion.
