Gelatin silver print entitled 'Mrs B lived with her family of 6 in a decaying terraced house near the centre of town (Listerhills). She was hoping for a move to a new council house soon, but when I returned a year later (April 1970) she was still there, one of the few people left in the area. One of her children was mentally handicapped, the house was tiny. it had no hot water, no bathroom, 5 children shared one damp bedroom'. Photograph by Nick Hedges.
