EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the Eastgate Shopping Centre in Basildon, Essex during the 1980s. The image showcases an office worker, identified as JLP01_09_831757, diligently seated at a Datapoint 1550 computer. With focused determination, she navigates through her clerical tasks amidst a backdrop of bustling construction activity. Through the window behind her, we catch a glimpse of the ambitious project underway – the development of the new Eastgate Shopping Centre. This juxtaposition between progress and tradition is striking; it symbolizes how technology was rapidly transforming workplaces while physical structures were being erected to shape society's future. The Breaking New Ground Project collaborated with the John Laing Charitable Trust to document this significant era. By preserving this image within their archive in 2019-20, Historic England ensures that our collective memory remains intact for generations to come. In this photograph, we witness not only an individual engrossed in her work but also glimpse into an era when computers were becoming increasingly integrated into daily operations. It serves as a testament to women's participation in office roles during that time and provides valuable insight into both technological advancements and architectural developments of that period.
