All firm favourites but which was the best for Christmas shopping?

What were the great gifts that you bought from this line-up of former Hartlepool shops?

Was Woolworths your tops when it came to festive gifts? If so, what did you buy?

Or perhaps you preferred a visit to Binns? Can you remember the presents you used to buy there?

How about the Central Stores, was it a winner in the Christmas gift stakes?

And then there’s the Frank Wright shop, which was a well-known toy store and bookshop. Did you get your much-wanted presents as a child from the York Road favourite?

Or perhaps there was a completely different Hartlepool store which was the best for Christmas presents.
