H Samuels jewellers in the new Arndale Centre, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, 1969
H Samuels jewellers in the new Arndale Centre, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, 1969. The new Arndale Shopping Centre in Doncaster opened in 1969. The new generation of shopping centres was set to revolutionise shopping in the same way that the development of the supermarket did in the post war years. This new development in Doncaster has undergone a few refurbishments over the years and the controversial statue of the abstract naked couple was rumoured to have found a home in later years in the garden of one of Doncasters suburban houses, but H Samuel, Boots and British Home Stores still occupied the same shop units some forty years after the photograph was taken

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of H Samuels jewellers in the new Arndale Centre, Doncaster, South Yorkshire, back in 1969. The opening of this modern shopping center marked a significant milestone in retail history, as it represented the dawn of a new era for shoppers across Britain. Just like supermarkets transformed post-war shopping experiences, these innovative shopping centers were set to revolutionize the way people shopped. Over the years, this particular development underwent several refurbishments; however, some iconic features remained unchanged. Notably, H Samuel's jewellers continued to occupy its shop unit alongside Boots and British Home Stores even after four decades since this photograph was taken. Interestingly enough, rumors circulated about a controversial statue depicting an abstract naked couple that once adorned this bustling location. It was said that later on it found a new home in one of Doncaster's suburban gardens. This intriguing detail adds an air of mystery and curiosity to the rich history surrounding this place. The image itself showcases not only the interior of H Samuels but also provides glimpses into other shops and shoppers indulging in window shopping along with their daily routines. Its vibrant colors bring life to every corner captured by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , making it truly representative of England during that time period. Overall, this print serves as a nostalgic reminder of how retail landscapes have evolved over time while still preserving certain elements that withstand changing trends and fashions.
