Photograph by Brian Shuel (reference SSE 32/28). There was a national sugar shortage at the time, and it appears on the photo that these customers were keen to get some sugar, perhaps for Christmas baking. Sainsbury's had imported icing sugar from West Germany during this shortage (see press release 26 Nov 1974, SA/PR/2/1/9/36) - a point of sale advertisement for this sugar can be seen on the image.
