Capturing a Glimpse of Leicester's Past - A Snapshot of Gallowtree Gate in the 1970s
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this fascinating print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Leicester in the early 1970s. The image showcases Gallowtree Gate, a once-vibrant thoroughfare that has now been closed off to traffic, except for buses and van loading and unloading. Amidst the hustle and bustle of shoppers and pedestrians, our attention is drawn to a diligent policeman stationed at the sin bin. As a car driver approaches from Granby Street, he is promptly stopped by the officer who informs him that he cannot proceed straight ahead but must instead turn right into Halford Street. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both law enforcement practices and traffic regulations prevalent during this era. The photograph not only captures an ordinary street scene but also serves as a time capsule for transportation history. Vintage cars line the roads while yellow boxes mark designated areas for vehicles to pause or unload goods—an intriguing glimpse into how urban transport operated decades ago. This image offers us an opportunity to reflect on how cities like Leicester have evolved over time. It reminds us of an era when shopping districts were vibrant hubs teeming with life—a testament to changing times and progress within England's East Midlands region.
