I think it was.
I found a website which is full of stuff like what was in previously in these units, it especially liked to focus on former Woolworths stores, I'll try and find this site when I go on the laptop in a bit.
It's sad when you see what shops were previously which the likes of Poundland and Tesco Metro's have now moved into, like Durham the store in the Gate was once MVC (music and videos shop) and the one in the Prince Bishops was HMV which I still sadly miss, hardly ever go round Durham since HMV closed. It's even more depressing to find that Newton Aycliffe is the only former Woolworths store in the region not to find a new occupant at any point.
