Holywood Shop Fronts Then and Now

During the Covid epidemic, Holywood U3A Local History group took part in a national U3A research project looking at changes to local high streets. The members recorded and photographed shop fronts in Holywood town then revisited the same streets 18 months later, noting changes that took place in the interval. 

Sourcing images from their extensive photographic collection, this exhibition will expand the original project and explore which goods and services were on offer to Holywood’s savvy shoppers from the mid‑1900s to today.
