EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the harsh reality of slum housing in Newcastle during the 1970s. The image depicts the living room of Mr Shell's home, where he resides with his daughter Janet White. The dilapidated state of their surroundings is evident, reflecting a life marred by poverty and despair. The room is filled with remnants of a forgotten past - worn-out furniture, tattered curtains, and peeling wallpaper. Every corner seems to be engulfed in dirt and grime, while piles of rubbish lie scattered on the floor. It serves as a stark reminder of the dire conditions that many families had to endure during this period. Mr Shell's struggle for survival is further highlighted by the mention that his rent was reduced from £3 to £1 4s per week at a rent tribunal. This detail speaks volumes about the economic hardships faced by those residing in these slums. This photograph provides us with an insight into UK social history, shedding light on an era when poverty-stricken communities were left neglected and marginalized. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every statistic lies real people battling against overwhelming odds just to make ends meet. Memory Lane Prints has captured not only an image but also emotions through this thought-provoking piece.
