EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Rotherham, South Yorkshire in 1960. The focal point is Suggs shop, an iconic establishment that stood proudly at the heart of this vibrant town for many years. Artist Michael Walters skillfully captures the essence of a bygone era, where traditional British retailing thrived. The shop's exterior showcases a wide range of goods displayed in its windows, offering a glimpse into the daily lives and needs of local residents during this time. As we peer through the glass pane, we can almost imagine stepping inside to explore shelves filled with various products that were once sold here. Over time, however, Suggs shop underwent transformation as it adapted to changing demands. Although it retained its name and location on this historic avenue, it shifted its focus towards sporting goods rather than the diverse range depicted in this snapshot from 1960. Walters' monochromatic lens transports us back to an era when television sets were becoming increasingly popular across Britain. Perhaps these televisions showcased in some of the neighboring shops symbolize not only technological progress but also how television became an integral part of people's lives during that decade. This evocative photograph serves as a reminder of Rotherham's rich heritage and how businesses like Suggs shop have evolved over time while still holding onto their roots within their communities.
