EDITORS COMMENTS
This old corner cafe in Aston, Birmingham, West Midlands, stands as a testament to the changing times. As captured by Brian Randle on 4th March 1971, this photograph tells a story of resilience and impending transformation. Despite the march of progress evident behind it, with towering high-rise flats and modern developments looming in the background, this little cafe continues to serve its loyal customers. Its charming architecture reflects an era gone by - a nostalgic reminder of the 1970s. The advertisement plastered on its facade showcases popular brands like Pepsi Cola and The Golden Arrow, capturing the spirit of consumerism that defined the time. It's fascinating how these products were once part of everyday life for locals who frequented this humble establishment. However, beneath its quaint exterior lies an uncertain fate. The encroaching development threatens to swallow up this cherished corner cafe forever. One can't help but wonder what will become of it amidst such rapid change. Brian Randle's print freezes a moment in time when tradition clashes with progress. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst urban development and shifting landscapes, there are still glimpses of history waiting to be preserved.
