WITHOUT A TRACE: MANCHESTER AND SALFORD IN THE 1960S (HB)

Shirley Baker started to photograph the streets of Manchester and Salford in the early 1960s when homes were being demolished and communities were being uprooted: 'Whole streets were disappearing and I hoped to capture some trace of everyday life of the people who lived there.' Shirley’s powerful images, sparked by her curiosity, recorded people and communities involved in fundamental change. The areas have since been redeveloped to form a new and totally different environment.
