Help and Information
Website Overview
The Original Virtual Museum is a fansite celebrating the High Street and Main Street F.W. Woolworth chains of Britain and North America, and their sister companies around the world. It is not an official website. Like a 'real' museum, the content is arranged in galleries, each one covering either a spam of time, a product range or a special feature. Please choose a gallery by clicking its button in the top navigator. Each gallery begins with a content page showing the main articles and features that it contains. There are also many hyperlinks in the page text to help visitors to follow a subject that interests them. Virtually all pictures on the site have 'Alt' and 'Title' tags, which should appear if you float your mouse over them. More info.
