You were not far from the truth. Woolworths was owned at one time by the Kingfisher Group who also at the same time owned B&Q.
Useless infomation, but there you have it.

..........and to add my ex and I used to use the very first B&Q in Portswood, Southampton, when they had one small double unit shop in the mid-1970s. 

We watched them grow into the superstores of today, having spent thousands of pounds in their units!

Another bit of trival information! :D :D :D ;)

Yes, I think so.........the main road running down from Eastleigh into the City through Portswood, left hand side in a white painted old building.  Probably gone now, with the road a dual carriageway!! ::) ::) ::)8-) 8-)

Well it used to until it got bypassed at that end
You're referring to 'The Avenue' which runs through Southampton Common. The shop was on a corner & I think it had previously been a Woolworth store. It was just up from the Fire Station. My late uncle & aunt owned the Spar shop just round the corner
