    I was in Woolwich today and the huge Woolwich Equitable building is now empty apart from a doctor's surgery taking up a tiny part.

    Milletts, well no longer see it in Eltham High St.

    How about C&A?

    Used to work for the Woolwich Equitable in Woolwich around 1973/4.
    Remember my daily commute on the 51 bus from Welling.

    Plenty of Milletts still around, some going under it's other name of Blacks.
    Same company.

    Many C & A stores in Europe - big one in Marseille, for example.

    I noticed one in Berlin the other week-end, which rather surprised me
