EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Broad Street in Reading, Berkshire during the late 1970s. The scene is filled with a lively mix of shoppers, all dressed in the fashionable attire of the era. In the foreground, a group of young people, including Alan and Greeley, are deep in conversation while casually leaning against a railing. Their outfits, with flared jeans and patterned shirts, are typical of the 1970s trend. Behind them, the pavement is packed with pedestrians, all engrossed in their shopping. The shops along the street, such as Barratts, are a hive of activity, with customers streaming in and out. The bus stop nearby is also a popular gathering spot, with several people waiting for their ride. Despite the hustle and bustle, there is a sense of community and camaraderie among the shoppers. The photograph captures a moment in time when shopping was a social activity, a chance to connect with friends and family, and to be a part of the vibrant cultural scene of the 1970s." This photograph is a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era, when shopping was a more leisurely and communal experience. It invites us to reflect on the ways in which our shopping habits have changed over the decades, and to appreciate the unique character of Broad Street in Reading during the late 1970s.
