EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This photo print, captured by artist Michael Walters in 1969, offers a glimpse into the bustling world of Asda supermarket during that era. The scene depicts a busy interior with customers navigating through aisles filled with neatly arranged shelves stocked with various goods. Despite its vintage charm, the layout of this British supermarket remains strikingly similar to modern-day establishments. Intriguingly, this snapshot from the past reveals some notable differences in retail technology. The mechanical tills stand as a testament to an era before barcode technology revolutionized checkout systems. Customers patiently queue up at these traditional tills manned by operators who diligently process their purchases. The photograph showcases the diversity of shoppers present at Asda supermarket, reflecting the vibrant tapestry of British society in the 1960s. Men and women alike can be seen engrossed in their shopping tasks while pushing shopping trolleys laden with groceries. Michael Walters' monochrome composition not only captures a specific moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how much our shopping experiences have evolved over decades. This image encapsulates an important chapter in Britain's retail history and provides valuable insights into consumer culture during that period.
