EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1977 in the industrial heart of Salford, Manchester, a group of young boys are seen engaged in playful activities outside a corner shop off-licence. The scene transports us back to the 1970s, a time when life moved at a slower pace, and childhood was filled with simple joys. The boys, dressed in clothes typical of the era, are seen riding their bicycles on the pavement, their faces filled with excitement and laughter. The shop's signage, with the prominent display of the Haig and Tetley logos, adds to the historical context of the image. The boys seem oblivious to the advertisements in the shop window, their focus solely on their bicycles and the freedom they represent. The corner shop off-licence, a common feature of urban neighbourhoods in the North of England during the 1970s, served as a hub of community life. It was a place where people would go to buy essentials, socialize, and catch up on local news. The boys in this photograph are a testament to the enduring spirit of childhood, as they make the most of their surroundings and enjoy the simple pleasures of riding their bicycles. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when life was less complicated, and the joys of childhood were found in the most ordinary of things. It is a snapshot of history, frozen in time, that invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty of everyday life.
