The newly completed Littlewoods store on the Humberstone Gate - Haymarket site in Leicester City Centre, captured on 17th May 1967. This iconic print from the 1960s takes us back to a bustling street scene in the heart of England's East Midlands. The vibrant atmosphere is palpable as shoppers fill the sidewalks, eagerly exploring the latest addition to Leicester's retail landscape. Designed by renowned architect Peter Lord, this modern masterpiece stands tall amidst its historic surroundings. Its sleek facade and expansive windows invite passersby to step inside and discover a world of fashion, homeware, and entertainment. Richards Shops can be seen next door, adding to the charm of this thriving shopping district. A diligent policeman keeps watch over the busy intersection, ensuring everyone's safety while maintaining order in this lively urban setting. His presence adds a sense of security and stability amidst the hustle and bustle. This photograph encapsulates an era when brick-and-mortar stores were at their peak popularity before online shopping took over. It reminds us of a time when browsing through physical shops was an experience filled with anticipation and excitement. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where United Kingdom high streets thrived with activity and community spirit. A true testament to British heritage.
