EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Newton and Son in 1903, transports us back to a bustling scene outside Billingham and Keelys Grocery Store in Stockport, Greater Manchester. The image captures the essence of a typical day at this popular grocers as tradesmen gather around the store's entrance. Intriguingly, the photo reveals that a delivery has just arrived at the back entrance of the store. Starch, flour, and an assortment of biscuits are being unloaded from crates with great care. The proprietor stands nearby, overseeing his assistants who eagerly prepare bags and scoops to serve out these essential provisions. Amidst all this activity, one cannot help but notice a young grocer's boy taking advantage of a momentary break. Seizing an opportunity to rest his weary legs before embarking on his rounds once again, he finds solace sitting on top of stacked crates. The composition exudes authenticity; it is evident that this snapshot was not staged for commercial purposes but rather captured genuine moments from everyday life in early 20th-century England. This historical gem offers us a glimpse into the hard work and dedication required to run such an establishment during that era.

It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who built the foundations upon which our modern society thrives.
