Chelsea Girl, Tooting 1990
The 60s-inspired graphics seemed hopelessly outdated in March 1990, which is why I took this photo.
It's possible that, by then, Tooting was blessed with one of the few remaining branches of Chelsea Girl that hadn't been rebranded as a branch of River Island. I'm unsure if this one ever did.
Today, it's a Phones4U shop and the billboard is gone, so I expect the residents of the flats above have a little more light.
Other, literal, signs of the times are fly posters announcing Mandela free - is Apartheid ending?, the Tooting Anti Poll Tax Union and a billboard featuring a tobacco advert.
Canon AV-1 with FD 50mm f/1.8 and probably Fuji slide film.
