EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the haunting scene of Lathbury Road in Harpurhey, a neighborhood plagued by decay. The image showcases the desperate state of this once-thriving area, as shops are boarded up, symbolizing the loss of community and economic decline. The French-style flats that dominate the estate stand as a stark reminder of better days gone by. However, they now bear witness to neglect and abandonment, with fungus and mold creeping across their dilapidated walls. These once proud homes have become synonymous with despair. It is shocking to learn that 600 families still inhabit this desolate estate, which has earned itself an unfortunate nickname - Alcatraz. This comparison evokes images of isolation and hopelessness for those trapped within its crumbling walls. This photograph was taken on February 8th, 1982 during a time when urban decay was prevalent throughout many neighborhoods in Britain. It serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by communities struggling against social and economic hardships during this era. The derelict flats, run-down shops, and overall deterioration captured in this image paint a vivid picture of an era marked by neglect and decline. It stands as both a historical document showcasing the realities faced by residents at that time while also serving as a cautionary tale about the consequences of societal neglect on our neighborhoods.
