Family living at Hulme Crescents, a housing development situated in the Hulme district of

Family living at Hulme Crescents, a housing development situated in the Hulme district of Manchester, England, 9th November 1973. The scheme was the largest public housing development in Europe, encompassing 3, 284 deck-access homes and capacity for over 13, 000 people. It gained notoriety as one of the worst public housing schemes in British history and was marred by serious construction and design errors. The problems were so bad the large housing scheme was short-lived and demolition on The Crescents began in 1991 - just 19 years after it was constructed in 1972.

EDITORS COMMENTS

This print captures the Passman Family, consisting of Robert, Mary, and their adorable 16-month-old daughter Jacqueline, living at Hulme Crescents in Manchester's Hulme district on November 9th, 1973. At that time, this housing development was an ambitious project encompassing a staggering 3,284 deck-access homes with the capacity to accommodate over 13,000 residents. However, despite its grand scale and aspirations for providing quality public housing in Europe's largest scheme of its kind, it soon gained notoriety as one of Britain's most ill-fated endeavors. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those residing within these concrete jungles. The Crescents were marred by serious construction and design errors that plagued their existence from the outset. Regrettably, these problems proved insurmountable and led to the demolition of this once-promising venture just nineteen years after its completion in 1972. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time from the vibrant era of the 1970s, we witness a family bidding farewell at their doorstep - perhaps Robert heading off to work for another day while Mary remains behind to care for young Jacqueline. Their expressions reveal both hope and uncertainty amidst an environment characterized by dilapidated flats and social unrest. Through Bob Rendle's lens capturing this momentous period in history when dreams clashed with reality within vast public housing schemes like Hulme Crescents; we are reminded of society's enduring struggle to provide adequate homes for all its citizens.
