EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Broadgate in Coventry, England, circa 1956. Standing tall and proud amidst the vibrant cityscape is the iconic Owen Owen department store, a true symbol of British retail history. The architectural beauty of this mid-20th century building is evident in its grand facade and elegant design. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are transported to an era where buses were a common mode of transport for shoppers navigating their way through the busy streets. These vintage vehicles add an authentic touch to the scene, reminding us of simpler times when public transportation played a vital role in connecting communities. The photograph not only captures the essence of Coventry's urban landscape but also offers a glimpse into shopping culture during the 1950s. The presence of Owen Owen signifies a time when department stores were at their peak popularity, offering customers a wide range of products under one roof. Located in Warwickshire's West Midlands region, this image serves as a nostalgic reminder for those who grew up or lived near Coventry during that era. It evokes memories of leisurely strolls down Broadgate while admiring shopfront displays and indulging in retail therapy. Arthur Cooper's skillful composition immortalizes this moment frozen in time—a testament to his talent as well as his appreciation for capturing slices of history on film.
