EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Manchester in the 1950s. The F W Woolworth store stands proudly on the corner of Oldham Street and Piccadilly, its grand architecture a testament to the city's vibrant history. It is late November, and Christmas shoppers fill the sidewalks, their faces hidden under umbrellas as rain drizzles down from above. The street scene captures a snapshot of daily life in Greater Manchester during this era. Despite the wet weather, people are determined to complete their shopping missions, hurrying past parked cars and motors that line the curbside. The winter season adds an air of coziness as shoppers bundle up in warm coats and scarves. The image transports us to a time when department stores like Woolworths were at the heart of communities, offering everything from household goods to toys for children eagerly anticipating Christmas morning. This particular store was undoubtedly a popular destination for locals seeking holiday bargains or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll through its aisles. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost hear the sounds of footsteps splashing through puddles and distant conversations mingling with car engines humming along rainy streets. It serves as a reminder that even amidst inclement weather, life continues on with determination and resilience - just like those dedicated shoppers braving Manchester's wet winter days all those years ago.
