EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the harsh reality of slum housing in Salford, this poignant print showcases Mrs Moore and her young son Peter in their modest home. Taken on 3rd April 1960 by Cyril Maitland, it provides a glimpse into the challenging living conditions faced by many families during this era. With just two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs, the cramped space offers little respite for Mrs Moore and her child. The absence of basic amenities is striking; there is no bath or hot water, and only one tap serves their needs. The paper hanging from the ceiling paints a grim picture of dampness, with foot-long stalactites forming overhead. The photograph speaks volumes about poverty-stricken communities in Greater Manchester at that time. It serves as a reminder of the stark inequalities that existed within society, where some struggled to meet even their most fundamental needs. Through his lens, Cyril Maitland captures not just an image but also a story – one that sheds light on the resilience of individuals like Mrs Moore who persevered despite such challenging circumstances. This print stands as a testament to both the strength and vulnerability present within these marginalized communities.
