EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant era of the 1970s, where New Kings Road in Fulham was home to a bustling betting shop owned by none other than Shirley Anne Baines. The image captures Shirley's undeniable presence as she stands confidently amidst her domain on the 5th of May, 1972.
With its retro charm and timeless appeal, this photograph encapsulates an important aspect of society during that period - gambling. As one woman takes center stage in a male-dominated industry, Shirley breaks barriers and challenges societal norms with her entrepreneurial spirit.
The composition allows us to appreciate the intricate details within the shop itself; rows upon rows of neatly organized bet slips, racing forms strewn across counters, and walls adorned with posters showcasing upcoming sporting events. It is evident that Shirley's dedication to her craft shines through every corner of her establishment.
This image not only speaks volumes about Shirley's determination but also offers a glimpse into the world of sports betting during those times. It serves as a reminder that even in an era when women faced numerous obstacles in business ownership and sport-related industries alike, there were trailblazers like Shirley who defied expectations and made their mark.
Arthur Sidey skillfully captures this moment frozen in time - a testament to his ability to immortalize significant moments from our past. This print from Memory Lane Prints transports us back four decades ago while simultaneously reminding us how far we have come since then.
