EDITORS COMMENTS
The check-out area of the ASDA supermarket in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, 1969 captures a bustling scene from Britain's retail industry during the 1960s. In this monochrome print by Michael Walters, we are transported back to an era where shopping was a tactile and personal experience. The image showcases both male and female customers patiently queuing with their shopping trolleys, highlighting the importance of supermarkets as a central hub for everyday necessities. The checkout operators diligently serve each customer, reflecting the professionalism and dedication required in their occupation. Walters' composition not only documents a specific location but also encapsulates the spirit of British society at that time. It portrays people from various walks of life coming together in pursuit of groceries and other essentials. This snapshot serves as a testament to the enduring concept of queuing - an integral part of British culture. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how far our retail landscape has evolved over half a century. Yet it is through images like these that we can appreciate the foundations laid by pioneers such as ASDA in shaping modern-day consumerism. This piece by Michael Walters invites us to reflect on our own experiences within supermarkets while paying homage to those who have worked tirelessly behind shop counters throughout history.
