EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling streets of Forest Gate in London on a crisp autumn day, precisely on the 15th of September 1955. The image showcases a charming cut price grocers shop, its large window adorned with vibrant hand-painted signs advertising various household staples. The scene is filled with life as we catch glimpses of hardworking shopkeepers attending to their customers' needs. A group of grannies clad in elegant coats and hats can be seen engrossed in conversation while selecting their groceries. The glass display case exhibits an array of products including Chico cigarettes, Cookeen cooking fat, Horlicks malted milk powder, Ovaltine cocoa mix, and bags of sugar neatly arranged for purchase. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the meticulous handwritten prices displayed on each item to the carefully painted signage that adds character to this snapshot from yesteryear. It's evident that this was not just a place for shopping but also a hub where locals gathered and connected. Greaves has masterfully captured the essence of everyday life in outer London during the 1950s through this evocative photograph. This print serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when community spirit thrived amidst small neighborhood businesses like these cut price grocers shops.
