EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1970s, two young women proudly pose outside Eccles Taxis, their place of work. Dressed in fashionable outfits of the era, they exude a sense of confidence and camaraderie as they stand before the red and white taxi sign, a symbol of their occupation. The taxi premises, with its neatly arranged vehicles and tidy shopfront, reflects the 24-hour service that was synonymous with the taxi industry during this time. The women's laughter and jovial expressions suggest that they are not only colleagues but also good friends. Their playful poses and the casual way they lean against the taxi add to the informal and lighthearted atmosphere of the scene. The pavement in front of the taxi shop is filled with the telltale signs of the bustling street life of the era, with the occasional price tag visible on the ground, reminding us of the economic realities of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the social history of the 1970s, a time when the taxi industry was an integral part of urban life, providing a vital service for people around the clock. The women's youthful energy and the vibrant colors of their outfits contrast sharply with the monochrome image of the taxi sign, creating a striking visual juxtaposition that underscores the spirit of the era. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the history and the everyday scenes that make up our collective past. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of the 1970s and the indomitable spirit of the women who worked in the taxi industry during that time.
