Row of shops, 17-27 Warwick Road, Kenilworth
Built as part of the Talisman Square development in the 1960's and refurbished with a new glass canopy a couple of years ago. From left to right - vacant former Woolworths store; Greggs bakery; Kenilworth News-newspapers, stationery and gifts; Pizzo pizza restaurant/takeaway; Christian hair salon.
In the window of the former Woolworths can be seen posters advertising Kenilworth Festival events.
The national Woolworths chain went bankrupt and closed in December 2008 - this store has lain vacant since then, though a rear portion including the side entrance off Talisman Square has been separated off to form a new branch of WH Smith.

Kenilworth's former Woolworths store being refitted
The long-vacant former Woolworths store at 17 Warwick Road is being refitted to create a new branch of the national Robert Dyas chain.
The shopfront of the former Woolworths has been retained with just the window frames repainted. In this view the fascia still has to be painted, and the traces of the old Woolworths sign can still be seen.
The poster in the window informs us that the new store will open on 5th November, two days after this photo was taken.

New branch of Robert Dyas, 17 Warwick Road, Kenilworth
The new Robert Dyas homeware store opened on 5th November, selling a range of products that were very similar to that stocked by the former Woolworths here previously, though perhaps a little more upmarket!

Warwick Road entrance to Talisman shopping precinct, Kenilworth
The white building on the left is a new unit, completed in early 2010 on a site which was previously open as part of the paved area of the square beyond.
Costa coffee shop opened in 2006 or 7 in a unit that was previously occupied by Stead and Simpson shoe retailers. I have heard that it quickly became the most profitable Costa outlet in the Midlands - whether this is true I'm not sure but it is certainly always busy.
