EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in 1963, this print showcases the bustling scene at the grand opening of Broughs Ltd, a self-service supermarket located near Barnsley in Thurnscoe, South Yorkshire. The image features a group of checkout girls dressed in their smart uniforms, ready to assist customers with their groceries. Amongst them stands a customer, engrossed in her shopping experience within the newly refurbished store. The photograph provides a glimpse into the retail industry of mid-20th century Britain, highlighting the significant shift towards self-service supermarkets during that era. The women's attire reflects the fashion trends of the time - elegant dresses paired with overcoats to combat the chilly English weather. Taken by renowned photographer Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this monochrome portrait captures not only an ordinary day at work for these hardworking women but also serves as a testament to how consumer culture was rapidly evolving across the country. With its historical significance and attention to detail, this image transports viewers back in time to witness firsthand an important moment in British retail history. It reminds us of how far we have come since then while honoring those who played vital roles in shaping our modern shopping experiences.
