EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this nostalgic print is a momentous milestone in the history of the Gateshead MetroCentre - its 25th anniversary. On April 23,1986, the first shops within this iconic shopping complex began trading, marking the beginning of an era that would revolutionize retail experiences. The official opening on October 13,1986, was a grand affair that celebrated not only commerce but also community spirit. In this particular snapshot taken on February 11,1987, we witness House of Fraser's innovative express Valentine's Day delivery service being launched. Three women - Jane Davison, Aileen Danby and Deborah Pygall - proudly pose with balloons as they embody love and romance during this festive season. Their radiant smiles reflect their excitement for spreading joy through thoughtful gifts. The fashion choices of these ladies provide a glimpse into the customs and traditions of the vibrant 1980s. From shorts to perms and mixed age ranges represented here, it is evident that diversity thrived within both style and personalities at MetroCentre. This photograph encapsulates not just a commercial event but also captures moments filled with warmth and happiness. It serves as a reminder of how MetroCentre became more than just a shopping destination; it became an integral part of people's lives by creating cherished memories.
