EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Washington New Town in the 1970s. The image showcases just a small portion of the colossal Woolco store, which dominated the landscape with its impressive size and grandeur. Standing tall amidst other buildings and structures, this retail giant was a symbol of progress and development in Tyne and Wear. The focus of this particular snapshot is on the tire service station, an essential component of any modern department store at that time. As we peer into the frame, we see rows upon rows of neatly arranged trollies waiting patiently for their turn while customers attend to their automotive needs. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the signage advertising various services to meticulously organized shelves stocked with tires. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers a glimpse into an era when new towns were emerging across Britain, transforming landscapes and communities alike. It serves as a reminder of how architecture shapes our surroundings and reflects societal progress. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this image invites us to reminisce about simpler times when shopping experiences were defined by vast spaces like Woolco's flagship store at Washington New Town. Let it transport you back to an era where convenience met ambition, leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
