EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a young woman with a baby in her arms stands near an Esso Petrol Station in Patricroft, Eccles, Manchester. The year is estimated to be around 1977, making this image a poignant reminder of the 1970s and the everyday life of that era. The woman, dressed in a simple, long-sleeved blouse and a flared skirt, looks down at her baby with a tender expression, while the infant gazes up at her with curious eyes. A pram, or pushchair, is parked nearby, suggesting that this may be a regular stop for the young mother. The Esso Petrol Station looms in the background, its red and white sign prominently displayed. The station's prices are clearly visible, offering a glimpse into the cost of fuel during that time. The scene is reminiscent of a simpler era, when life moved at a slower pace, and the daily routine of filling up on petrol and tending to one's family were intertwined. The image captures the intimacy and connection between a mother and her child, as well as the mundane yet essential aspects of urban life in the 1970s. The photograph offers a historical record of a bygone era, showcasing the fashion, social norms, and everyday surroundings of the time. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between a mother and her child, as well as the rich tapestry of history that can be found in the most ordinary of moments. This photograph, with its timeless appeal, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Manchester, the 1970s, or the everyday lives of people during that period.
