EDITORS COMMENTS
The exterior of Carlines Self Service Store, Mexborough, South Yorkshire, 1960 captures the essence of a rapidly changing retail landscape in Britain during the mid-20th century. This photograph by Michael Walters showcases an innovative concept that was gaining popularity in the 1950s and 1960s - self-service retail outlets. Located in the quaint town of Mexborough, this store stands as a testament to the country's growing consumer culture. The shop front displays a captivating promotion for Heinz soups with small tins priced at just 9d and medium ones for 1/- 1d. It is fascinating to see how prices have evolved over time. The image exudes simplicity and efficiency with its monochrome aesthetic. The clean lines of the entrance draw attention to the modernity of this cash-and-carry establishment. As customers walk through those doors, they are greeted by a world where they can select their own products from neatly arranged shelves – a stark departure from traditional shopping experiences. This photograph not only captures an era but also represents progress and innovation within the retail industry. Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd has expertly preserved this slice of history, allowing us to reflect on how far we have come since then.
