New Co-op central butchers department, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, 1957. Customers survey the produce on offer in the newly refurbished department. The meat counter shows a varied selection of continental style salamis whilst the title Delicatessen is displayed in the window. This must have been a strange sight only twelve years after the end of the Second World War. The large Avery type scales were a familiar sight until recently

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1957 with this print of the newly refurbished New Co-op central butchers department in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. As customers survey the produce on offer, one can't help but be struck by the sight of continental-style salamis displayed proudly at the meat counter, while the word 'Delicatessen' adorns the window. It's a scene that must have seemed quite extraordinary just twelve years after the end of World War II. The photograph also highlights some familiar elements from that era, such as the large Avery type scales that were once a common sight. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot of everyday life in post-war Britain. Amidst a backdrop of political and social change, it is fascinating to see how co-operative societies like this one played an integral role in providing essential goods for their communities. The image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon the significance of local shops and their impact on daily life. This remarkable photograph was captured by Michael Walters, whose lens skillfully immortalizes both industry and people alike. With its monochrome charm and rich historical context, this print serves as a testament to our shared heritage.
