Norwich market MF98_01662_09
Norwich, Norfolk. The British people endured rationing during the War years, and post-War austerity continued into the 1950s. Perhaps this is why a market stall selling rolls of cloth has attracted so much interest. A neighbouring toy stall is also popular. Photographed by Hallam Ashley in July 1948

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Norwich market MF98_01662_09" takes us back to a significant period in British history. The image captures the essence of post-War austerity that lingered into the 1950s, as people endured rationing and strived to rebuild their lives. In this bustling Norwich market scene from July 1948, we witness a fascinating juxtaposition of interests. At the forefront of the frame stands a market stall adorned with rolls of cloth, drawing an eager crowd. The scarcity of materials during those years makes it understandable why such a display would attract so much attention. Shoppers are captivated by the vibrant array of fabrics, perhaps envisioning new garments or home furnishings amidst their limited choices. Adjacent to this textile haven lies another popular attraction - a toy stall brimming with childhood delights. Despite challenging times, children's joy remains undiminished as they explore toys that offer moments of escape from reality. Photographed by Hallam Ashley, this snapshot encapsulates both resilience and longing for brighter days ahead. It serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary people persevered through difficult circumstances while seeking small pleasures amidst adversity. Through its composition and subject matter, this historic photograph allows us to reflect on the strength and resourcefulness displayed by British society during an era marked by sacrifice and rebuilding after World War II.
