NOSTALGIA: Take a stroll down Boston’s Bargate (for all your Christmas needs) in 1966 (GALLERY)

Here we have a selection of photographs of Wide and Strait Bargate, in Boston, in 1966.

The Standard ran a piece about Wide Bargate in November of that year, focusing on the range of options for visitors in the run-up to Christmas. “The merits of Boston’s Wide Bargate are well-known,” it wrote. “Parking facilities are the best in town, there are cafes and restaurants for a light snack or a substantial meal, and the many shops and stores cater for the needs of all members of the family.”
