A 1970s colour photo of a light-blue mobile butcher’s van parked on a London street during the latter half of the 20th century. The van is a converted Bedford or similar commercial chassis, with its side panels hinged upward to create a serving hatch and provide shelter for the customers. Inside, a butcher in a white coat and tie is seen preparing meat, with various joints and cuts of beef and lamb displayed on a metal counter and hanging from hooks. Two women in quintessential early-seventies winter coats—one in white and one in beige—stand at the hatch waiting to be served. The background features a brick building and the “Fine Wines” signage of a neighbouring shop, capturing a common sight in London’s residential areas before the widespread dominance of supermarkets in 1972.
