EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the 1970s in the Brinksway area of Stockport, Cheshire, England. The image portrays the communal back yard of a slum property, where small children play amongst mongrel dogs, beneath the hanging washing lines. The unpaved yard, filled with dustbins and condemned housing, offers a stark reminder of the living conditions faced by the impoverished community during this era. The children, dressed in simple clothing, seem oblivious to the dust and grime that surrounds them, focusing instead on their games and the companionship of their canine friends. The washing, hanging haphazardly between the buildings, adds a sense of routine and normalcy to the scene, despite the obvious signs of poverty and deprivation. The condemned houses, looming in the background, hint at the transient nature of this community and the inevitable change that was to come. This photograph is a poignant snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of the underprivileged and needy families who once called this place home.
