EDITORS COMMENTS
The newly opened YWCA in City Road, Chester, Cheshire stands as a testament to the changing times of the 1960s. In this print captured on the 25th of August 1966, we witness an unexpected challenge faced by the hostel staff - a shortage of young women seeking accommodation. Despite their best efforts to advertise and extend a warm invitation for women to come and live at the YWCA, their pleas have fallen on deaf ears. This image encapsulates both the determination and frustration felt by those involved in running this charitable organization known as Alexandra Residential Club. The vibrant atmosphere within its walls is evident through its inviting facade adorned with colorful flags fluttering in the breeze. However, it seems that societal norms or perhaps other factors have led young women to seek alternative housing options during this era. Surprisingly, most replies received from potential residents have been from men instead. As we delve into this photograph frozen in time, we are reminded of how history can reveal unexpected twists and turns even within seemingly straightforward narratives. This snapshot serves as a reminder that progress often comes with unforeseen challenges along the way.
