EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Snelsons electrical shop in Mexborough, South Yorkshire, back in 1963. The artist, Michael Walters, skillfully portrays a snapshot of British life during this era. In the forefront of the image, we see an advertisement for renting televisions at a remarkably affordable price of 8 shillings and 3 pence per week for a 19-inch set. This nostalgic detail highlights how television ownership was not yet widespread and renting provided an accessible option. Adjacent to Snelsons stands Leachs shop with its enticing window display showcasing Easter eggs and smoking products. A once-familiar cigarette vending machine graces the doorway, evoking memories of a time when such machines were commonplace on street corners. The monochrome composition adds depth to the scene while emphasizing the architectural beauty of these buildings lining the avenue. This photograph serves as a visual time capsule that transports us back to Doncaster's bustling streets in mid-20th century Britain. Michael Walters' lens successfully captures both industry and retail aspects within this single frame. It is evident that Snelsons played a significant role in providing electrical goods to customers from all walks of life. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us not only of technological advancements but also offers glimpses into everyday life during this transformative period in history.
