The smallest shop in North Shields, and perhaps the smallest in England

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming streets of North Shields in 1935. Standing proudly amidst its larger counterparts is a tiny shop, believed to be the smallest in all of England. Owned by Mrs. Sally Walker, this quaint establishment captures the essence of a bygone era. The sheer size of this minuscule shop leaves no room for customers to step inside; instead, they are served through a half-door that adds an element of intimacy and uniqueness to their shopping experience. As we gaze at the image, it becomes evident that Mrs. Walker's determination and resourcefulness have allowed her business to thrive despite its limitations. The architectural details on display evoke nostalgia for simpler times – ornate signage adorns the exterior walls while carefully arranged merchandise peeks out from behind the windowpane, enticing passersby with its charm. This snapshot offers a glimpse into not just a physical space but also into an entire community built around small-scale retailing. Roland Park's expertly captured photograph transports us back to an era where personal connections were paramount in commerce. It reminds us that even within limited spaces, dreams can flourish and businesses can prosper through creativity and dedication. As we admire this slice of history frozen in time, let us appreciate those who paved the way for modern retailers while cherishing these remnants from our past - testaments to human ingenuity and resilience against all odds.
