EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Pownall family live at Number Two Court, Dickenson Street, Oldham" we are transported back to the year 1962 and given a glimpse into the lives of an ordinary working-class family in Greater Manchester. The Pownall family resides in a humble 150-year-old house, where they share one bedroom, one kitchen, and one living room. Captured on film is Sandra Pownall standing on the rickety stairs with a bamboo handrail that lead up from the kitchen. With curiosity in her eyes, she watches her mother Joyce as she skillfully cooks their daily meals. This image encapsulates both the simplicity and challenges of their everyday life. Living conditions for families like the Pownalls were far from ideal during this era. They shared communal toilets located near stacked dustbins and faced limited space within their home. Yet despite these hardships, there is an undeniable sense of resilience and unity emanating from this photograph. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder of the stark realities faced by many families living in slums during that time period. It highlights not only the physical aspects of poverty but also sheds light on how love and determination can thrive even amidst challenging circumstances. Howard Walker's expertly captured moment freezes time and allows us to reflect upon our collective history while reminding us to appreciate our present-day comforts.
