EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Sunlit Stroll through Exeter's Modern Shopping Precinct (circa 1960s) 2. In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we find ourselves transported back in time to the bustling heart of Exeter, Devon, during the 1960s. The scene unfolds before us as a vibrant, pedestrianised shopping precinct bathed in the warm, golden glow of a sunny day. 3. The architecture of the era is on full display, with red brick buildings adorned with columns and pillars lining the paved streets. Shops with large windows and eye-catching signs beckon passersby, inviting them to explore the wares within. 4. Among the establishments captured in this image, we notice an optician's shop with the familiar Windsor sign, its elegant script promising clear vision to the community. Nearby, a clothing store showcases the latest fashions, with mannequins dressed in the modish styles of the 1960s. 5. The modern shopping precinct is a hive of activity, with people of all ages and backgrounds enjoying the sunshine as they go about their daily errands. Some wear trousers and glasses, their faces reflecting a sense of purpose as they examine the displays in the shop windows. 6. The atmosphere is lively, yet there is a sense of calm and order, with the paving stones underfoot providing a sense of continuity and history. Balconies and second-story windows offer glimpses into the private lives of those who live and work above the shops, adding an intriguing layer of depth to the scene. 7. This photograph is a testament to the allure and charm of Exeter's shopping precinct during the 1960s, a time when the city's commercial core was at the height of its modernity. It invites us to appreciate the rich history and architectural beauty that can still be found in this charming West Country city.
