Slum housing in Salford. Four year old Lyn Greenhalgh. The rubble is hers to play with. The worn steps are hers to sit on. She can look at the old, crumbling houses and the windows that do not fit and the holes that appear in the roofs, and she can do these things in peace. 3rd April 1960

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph captured by Cyril Maitland in 1960, we are transported to the slums of Salford, Greater Manchester. The focal point of the image is four-year-old Lyn Greenhalgh, who stands amidst a backdrop of dilapidated buildings and decayed infrastructure. Despite the destitution that surrounds her, Lyn finds solace in her own world of innocence and imagination. The rubble scattered around her becomes a playground where she can freely explore and create stories. The worn steps nearby offer respite as she sits down to observe the crumbling houses with windows that no longer fit properly and roofs riddled with holes. It is within these moments that Lyn experiences tranquility amid the chaos. This snapshot encapsulates a time when poverty gripped many communities, leaving families trapped in substandard living conditions. However, it also serves as a reminder of resilience and adaptability even in adverse circumstances. While society may have failed to provide adequate housing for its citizens, young Lyn finds joy amidst the ruins. Cyril Maitland's photograph freezes this fleeting moment forever, allowing us to reflect on social inequality while simultaneously celebrating childhood innocence. As we gaze upon this image from over six decades ago, let us remember those who endured such hardships and strive towards building a more equitable future for all.
