Slum housing in Salford, Greater Manchester. 30th January 1970
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures the harsh reality of life in Salford, Greater Manchester during the early 1970s. Taken by photographer Dennis Hussey, this image transports us back to a time when poverty and poor living conditions plagued many urban areas. In this particular scene, we are confronted with rows of dilapidated houses along Choir Street. The crumbling facades and boarded-up windows tell a story of neglect and despair. It is evident that these homes were once vibrant communities but have now fallen into disrepair. The photograph serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those living in slums during this era. With limited resources and opportunities, families struggled to make ends meet amidst cramped quarters and inadequate infrastructure. Hussey's lens captures not only the physical decay but also the human spirit prevailing against adversity. Despite their circumstances, residents can be seen going about their daily lives - children playing on broken pavements while adults engage in conversation outside their front doors. This print acts as an important historical document shedding light on social issues that plagued cities like Salford at that time. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of improving housing standards for all citizens while urging us to remain vigilant against any resurgence of poverty or neglect within our communities.
