ABC Wednesday veers towards the letter "V". In a corner of Fred Aldous' arts, craft and creativity mega shop, stands this late 1960s (?) vintage "photo-me" booth. It cost 2/- (two shillings = 10p) for the classic strip of black and white passport type photos. These were a hi-tech novelty for those of us who remember the 1970s...
There is actually a modern booth elsewhere in the shop although nothing beats a bit of vintage! Oh, and the cows?- well, who knows (moo knows?) - it's all part of the three floors of the quirky Fred Aldous wonderland on Stevenson Square.
Interesting, I enjoy vintage stuff, I'm ashamed to say I remember similar photo booths in Liverpool, originally in Woolworths.
ReplyDeleteGood old 'Woolies'
, Oh how I miss them, that's vintage too!

Oh yes, I remember the photo booths Chrissy, have no idea where the black and white evidence is now though :)
ReplyDeleteCalling by for ABC Wednesday, have not seen a booth like that for years!
ReplyDeleteI used to love these booths! My friends and I would pile in and make foolish faces. What a deal for one dollar!
ReplyDeleteLove it! These are wonderful Chrissy.
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember one of those when I was a kid in a mall, but it's no doubt long gone.
ReplyDeleteI remember those in the local Woolworth's, which dates me!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
We had such fun in those when I was a kid!

ReplyDeleteEveryone is talking about Woolworths, I remember it SO WELL. My girlfriends and I took plenty of pictures in booths just like that one. I miss those times.
