FORMER employees of a bygone Kidderminster department store reminisced about old times when they met up at the Gainsborough House Hotel.

Geoff Hough, who had been general manager and executive director of Attwoods, said more than 20 staff had turned up for the store's third reunion - despite it being held about 40 years since they worked together.

"We've had two or three afternoons now and about 22 people turned up to this one," he said.

"It was good fun and a good turnout, considering the length of time since we worked together - we're all getting on now."

He added: "We had all kinds of staff there, including shop assistants and office staff."

Attwoods closed in the late 1960s and was eventually replaced by TJ Hughes in the Bull Ring.
