A quiet suburban shopping street in Britain in the late nineteen-sixties – Southbourne Grove in the Polkesdown/Boscombe area of Bournemouth, Hampshire, England, UK in June 1969. There is little pedestrian or motor traffic. The shops are a mixture of independent and national brand outlets (Dewhurst and Woolworths on the right). This image is from an old amateur 35mm Kodak colour transparency – a vintage 1960s photograph.
A quiet suburban shopping street in Britain in the late nineteen-sixties – Southbourne Grove in the Polkesdown/Boscombe area of Bournemouth, Hampshire, England, UK in June 1969. There is little pedestrian or motor traffic. The shops are a mixture of independent and national brand outlets (Dewhurst and Woolworths on the right). The trolley-bus overhead wires are evident. Today Woolworths has become a bar and the corner bank (centre left) is now a pub, showing how leisure destinations have become part of the mix in towns and cities. This image is from an old amateur 35mm Kodak colour transparency. It will look slightly soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
