Slum housing in Everton, Liverpool. Mrs Frances Pulford is 72 years old
Slum housing in Everton, Liverpool. Mrs Frances Pulford is 72 years old.She is emptying a bucket of washing-up water down a gutter in the street where she lives. She has to do this because there is no sink in any of the nine houses in Wellington-buildings. The reason there is no sink is that there aren t any drains. There is one cold water tap for each house, and the cold water tap is situated in the coal place. 3rd April 1960

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the harsh reality of slum housing in Everton, Liverpool during the 1960s. In the image, we see Mrs Frances Pulford, a resilient 72-year-old woman, emptying a bucket of washing-up water down a gutter in the street where she lives. This simple act is necessary because there are no sinks or drains in any of the nine houses in Wellington-buildings. The photograph highlights the dire living conditions faced by residents like Mrs Pulford. Poverty-stricken and lacking basic amenities, these families struggle to meet their daily needs. The absence of sinks and drains forces them to resort to unconventional methods just to carry out simple tasks like washing dishes. Notably, each house only has one cold water tap located in the coal place—a clear indication of how little regard was given to providing even basic necessities for these marginalized communities. Cyril Maitland's poignant capture serves as a stark reminder of the social inequalities that existed within Liverpool at that time. It sheds light on both individual struggles and broader issues surrounding poverty and inadequate housing. Decades later, this print stands as a testament to resilience amidst adversity while urging us never to forget those who have lived through such challenging circumstances.
