EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of supermarket shopping in the 1970s. The image features a dedicated till operator, Mary, carefully scanning items from a customer's basket. Mary's expression is focused and determined, reflecting the importance and responsibility of her role in the busy supermarket. The customer, a woman in a floral print dress and cardigan, looks on with a mixture of anticipation and relief, her basket filled with tins of food and other essentials. The scene is set in a traditional Northern supermarket, with wire baskets and a worn wooden counter top. The atmosphere is one of community and familiarity, as the women exchange pleasantries and small talk. This photograph offers a glimpse into the social history of shopping in the 1970s, a time when supermarkets began to replace traditional corner shops and become the go-to destination for household necessities. The image is a poignant reminder of the human connection that once existed in the everyday act of buying groceries, and the important role that women played in the retail industry.
