EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A view of St Mary Street, including Howells department store" we are transported back to the bustling streets of Cardiff, Wales in January 1969. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the vibrant energy of a bygone era. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately drawn to the majestic presence of Howells department store standing proudly amidst its neighboring shops and buildings. Its grand facade exudes elegance and charm, hinting at a world within that promises an array of delights for eager shoppers. The street itself is alive with activity - pedestrians strolling along the pavements, some deep in conversation while others appear lost in their own thoughts. The shop windows display an assortment of goods, enticing passersby with their colorful displays. This photograph not only offers us a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of how much has changed over time. It evokes nostalgia for an era when high streets were filled with independent retailers rather than large chain stores dominating every corner. Preserved by Western Mail Archive's Memory Lane Prints collection, this snapshot allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty and social fabric that once defined St Mary Street. It invites us to reflect on Cardiff's rich history as well as celebrate its evolution into the modern city it is today.
