EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Dave Kendall, we are transported back to the 1980s as we witness the final moments of Blackers Department Store. The once bustling sales floor now stands eerily empty, with only a few customers left wandering through its vast space. It is a scene that evokes both nostalgia and melancholy. As we gaze at the image, our eyes are drawn to the closed curtains in the background, symbolizing an end to an era. The store's closure signifies not just another business shutting down but also marks a significant shift in retail culture during that time. The customers present in this photograph seem lost amidst the emptiness surrounding them. Perhaps they have been loyal patrons for years or even decades, witnessing countless changes within these walls. Their presence serves as a reminder of how deeply connected people can become to certain places and establishments. This image encapsulates the essence of department stores - vibrant hubs where communities would gather for their shopping needs. It speaks volumes about changing consumer habits and evolving retail landscapes. Dave Kendall's skillful composition allows us to reflect on our own memories of visiting similar stores during their heyday while simultaneously acknowledging their inevitable decline. This photograph becomes more than just a visual representation; it becomes a testament to an era gone by – one that will forever hold significance in our collective memory.
