EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a slice of history in Hinckley, Leicestershire. Standing proudly on Castle Street is the iconic F W Woolworth and Company Limited store, which opened its doors to eager shoppers in 1934. The front elevation of this beloved high street shop is beautifully showcased, allowing us to step back in time and witness its early days. The photograph portrays the store shortly after its grand opening, exuding an air of excitement and anticipation. Its charming exterior design reflects the architectural style of the era, transporting us to a bygone era where shopping was a delightful experience. As we gaze at this remarkable image, our eyes are drawn to the meticulously arranged window display that entices passersby with its carefully curated selection of products. It serves as a visual feast for those who appreciate vintage aesthetics and offers a glimpse into what shopping looked like in the 1930s. Preserved by Historic England Archive, this print not only showcases an important piece of local heritage but also invites us to reflect on how retail has evolved over time. It reminds us that behind every brick-and-mortar establishment lies stories waiting to be discovered – stories that shape our communities and connect generations.
