EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling construction site of Atkinsons department store in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, during the vibrant era of 1959. The image showcases the remarkable progress made on the building's first floor, signaling an exciting new addition to central Sheffield. The scene is alive with activity as workers diligently maneuver through a maze of scaffolding and materials. Amidst this organized chaos, a fleet of classic automobiles gracefully lines the avenue adjacent to the construction site. These cars serve as a metaphor for both progress and transportation, symbolizing how Atkinsons will soon become an essential destination for shoppers from all corners of the country. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this snapshot from history. It allows us to appreciate every detail: from the intricate architectural design taking shape before our eyes to the dynamic flow of traffic on nearby roads. Photographer Michael Walters skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also hints at what lies ahead – an emporium that would become synonymous with retail excellence in Britain. This print serves as a testament to Sheffield's rich heritage while offering viewers a glimpse into its evolving landscape during this transformative decade.
