gingham

for Dainty Lingerie no less!! Carol

Based on the fact that it's on a junction, and the ground slopes steeply right to left, I'm going to guess that this shop is at 12 Broad Street. If so, the shop is long gone, replaced by an ugly cubic thing.

I would say that the local Horrockses sales, marketing and merchantising team paid for this photograph. They probably won the annual marketing prize for their efforts here!!

They were a right crowd of Horrockes and thats for sure. What a wonderful shot, not only of the gentleman and his infant son in whom he has such pride but of the display and variety he has in his shop and windows. Blasts from the past - gingham, voile, overalls, flannelettes - this one has it all including the picture on display of the old lady with the loom.

Swordscookie I know! The only thing missing is Winceyette... Or is it? Screwing in monocle, and having another look!

Restored.

Couldn't see a mum's face

SO Cute

>>"She is active in the Astronautical Society of the Pacific" This likely should be the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, in which Ms Schroedter was very active. She authored this report on the Society's June, 1962, meeting in Victoria, BC. (There are numerous adsabs.harvard.edu references to her ongoing activity in the Society.) While there is an American Astronautical Society, I couldn't find any reference to an Astronautical Society of the Pacific. Jacqueline L. Schroedter may also have attended Swathmore -- other than this unverified reference there's not much information about her I could find.  

Thanks, Pixel Wrangler. We double-checked the caption supplied by Lockheed which says clearly: “She is active in the Astronautical Society of the Pacific”. She was, indeed, active in the “Astronomical Society of the Pacific” (plenty of evidence of that in JSTOR) but there is also an organization (in which, given her employment at Lockheed, she is also likely to have participated) called the “American Astronautical Society.” So, it is probable that the public relations office at Lockheed either conflated the two societies or misunderstood what she told them. We have added [sic] to the caption to reflect that. Effie, SIA
