Bring Charity Hull Peter Promoting Sale Shopping Oxfam
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, two old ladies are seen engrossed in window shopping at the Hull branch of Oxfam during the 1980s. The shop, filled with an eclectic mix of second-hand goods, is promoting the upcoming Blue Peter bring and buy sale. The ladies, dressed in coats and hats, lean in close to examine the items displayed in the window, their expressions a perfect blend of curiosity and delight. The Oxfam shop in Hull was a popular destination for bargain hunters and charity supporters alike. With its welcoming atmosphere and wide selection of pre-loved items, it offered a unique shopping experience that attracted people from all walks of life. The Blue Peter bring and buy sale was an annual event that added to the shop's allure, drawing in large crowds of people looking to donate and purchase pre-owned items. The ladies in the photograph seem to be deep in conversation, perhaps discussing the merits of a particular item or reminiscing about their own past purchases from the shop. The window display, with its colorful array of clothes, books, and bric-a-brac, serves as a backdrop to their interaction, a testament to the enduring appeal of the shop and the joy of discovering hidden treasures. The photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the 1980s and reminding us of the simple pleasures of window shopping and the importance of supporting charitable causes. The Hull branch of Oxfam, with its warm and inviting atmosphere, continues to be a beloved institution in the community, bringing people together through the shared love of second-hand shopping and the knowledge that their purchases are making a difference in the world.
