Goodbye Greenwoods

Was in the shopping center today (Monday) and saw that Greenwoods had closed. Not a great loss to most people I'm sure but as a Greenwoods Loyalty Card holder it made me sad to see it go. Most of my shirts are Greenwoods, both of my anoraks came from Greenwoods and quite a few of my pairs of trousers and jackets. OK a lot of my clothes now also come from Matalan but Greenwoods was the place I went when I wanted better quality and at a not much higher price. Farewell Greenwoods, I for one will miss you and its just another nail in the coffin of Hartlepool Shopping Center. What we need are more pound shops and more mobile phone shops, these will pull us out of the recession.
