Social distancing 1970s style. 16th July 1972
On with your black cloaks and pointed hats, ladies, broomstick shopping has arrived!
At least thats Diana Kents very down to earth solution to the age old problem of how to lug the goods home when you are loaded down with bags.
Every Saturday morning Diana goes down Ilford High Road with a broom handle and a friend, Pauline Blyth, 27.
Each bag of shopping is loaded on to the pole which they hold at either hand. Depending on the congestion they walk along side by side or in single file.
Said Diana, 21 " We manage seven full bags of shopping without any bother. I m sure old folk and those who can t carry heavy items will find this method a useful one". Our Picture Show : Diana Kent (left) with daughter Samantha, two and Pauline Blyth

Social distancing 1970s style. On with your black cloaks and pointed hats, ladies, broomstick shopping has arrived! In this charming photo from July 16th, 1972, Diana Kent and her friend Pauline Blyth showcase a very down-to-earth solution to the age-old problem of carrying heavy bags while out shopping. Every Saturday morning, Diana and Pauline venture down Ilford High Road armed with a simple broom handle. They load each bag onto the pole that they hold at either hand as they make their way through the bustling street. Depending on the congestion, they walk side by side or in single file. Diana proudly shares that they manage to carry seven full bags of shopping without any hassle using this method. She believes it can be particularly useful for older people or those who struggle with heavy items. The photograph captures not only their practical approach but also their joyful spirits. Diana is accompanied by her adorable two-year-old daughter Samantha, adding an extra touch of sweetness to the scene. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates a moment in time when creativity and resourcefulness were used to tackle everyday challenges. It serves as a reminder that even during difficult times like these, there are always innovative ways to adapt and find solutions.
