EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in July 1966, showcases the bustling pedestrianised shopping centre of Stevenage New Town in Hertfordshire, England. Established in 1959, this was the first pedestrianised shopping centre in England, paving the way for a new era in town planning and retail experiences. The town itself was designated as a New Town in 1946, following the destruction and overcrowding of urban areas during and after World War II. The vibrant scene captured in this image is filled with shoppers enjoying their day out, strolling along the pavements and browsing the various stores. Among the familiar names visible in the photograph are Woolworth and Sainsbury's, both of which opened their doors to the public in the late 1950s. The 1960s were an exciting time for Stevenage New Town, as it became a symbol of modernity and progress. The pedestrianised shopping centre was a key component of this vision, allowing for a more pleasant and accessible shopping experience for residents and visitors alike. The open-air design, with its wide, tree-lined walkways, created a welcoming atmosphere that attracted shoppers from far and wide. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique character and charm of Stevenage New Town during a time of significant change and growth. It serves as a reminder of the important role that thoughtful town planning and community-focused initiatives can play in shaping the places where we live, work, and connect with one another.
