EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and nostalgic print captured by Terry Reed, we are transported back to the 1990s when Sunday trading was first launched in Middlesbrough town centre. The image showcases the bustling energy of this momentous occasion, as locals and visitors alike flocked to Binns department store on Linthorpe Road for a shopping spree like no other. Adding an extra touch of glamour to the scene, two fabulous lookalikes from the hit TV show "Absolutely Fabulous" can be seen joyfully celebrating amidst the crowd. Their flamboyant outfits and larger-than-life personas perfectly encapsulate the spirit of this era – a time when fashion reigned supreme on every high street across Britain. The significance of this event cannot be understated, as it marked a pivotal shift in consumer culture. For years, Sundays had been reserved for rest and relaxation, but now people had the freedom to indulge their shopping desires seven days a week. This newfound convenience transformed Middlesbrough's town centre into a hub of activity even on traditionally quiet Sundays. As we gaze upon this photograph, memories flood back of an era defined by its unique sense of style and unapologetic love for retail therapy. It serves as a reminder that while times may change, certain moments remain etched in our collective memory – forever capturing the essence of an era long gone but never forgotten.
