I thought she resembled the painting by Dante Gabriël Rossetti (1874).

Before an eccentric edit involving conversion to B&W, cropping, powerful filters and finally, overlaying the result on the computer screen with a blue acetate and photographing it for its final edit ... this was a fairly ordinary photograph taken in The Parade shopping centre off Fleming Way in Swindon on 21 June, 2012 at half past one. The melancholy look on the young woman's face remains memorable ten years later, whereas the other photographs of that day are largely forgotten.

The law that these signs must not obstruct the highway, contrary to Section 137 and 148 of the Highways Act 1980 is being ignored. Sections 143 and 149 of the Act give the highways authority powers to remove these items. The authorities rarely use their powers. The law is there not to persecute shop owners, nor to damage business, but to protect blind and partially sighted people, and anyone whose mobility is restricted generally.

If you search for ‘Daytona 1971 Athletics Club’ on the web, a site called 'Yelp’ appears, and within it there are reviews of the store ‘New Look’. A contributor called Katie-Ann M. from Dublin has this to say about New Look in general and the hoodie worn by the girl in the photograph in particular: ‘The shop is awash with tawdry ditsy print dresses, tacky striped peplum dresses, crude leopard print tunics, ghastly stud trim vests (a particular turnoff), horrible frill crop vests, magnetic bling stud earrings as well as the particularly disconcerting transparent knitted tunics that you can see your bra through. Obviously I understand that the shop is not going to stock hoodies nor sportswear of the same caliber as Adidias or Abercrombie and Fitch but I have never seen such shoddy hoodies anywhere as those sold within this store. The ones I am speaking of have such counterfeit phrases as 'Daytona 1971 Athletics Club' written across it. It's like they don't even try to make their stuff convincingly decent.’
