EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the harsh reality of slum housing in Salford, Greater Manchester, back in 1960. The Logan family's three young brothers, Thomas aged 9, John aged 3, and Peter aged 7, stand solemnly outside their dilapidated home. Their innocent faces tell a story of struggle and hardship beyond their tender years. The image serves as a stark reminder of the poverty that plagued many families during this era. Lancashire was particularly affected by these dire living conditions, with cramped houses lacking basic amenities becoming all too common. These slums were breeding grounds for disease and despair. Cyril Maitland's photograph encapsulates the resilience of these young boys amidst such adversity. Their tattered clothes and worn-out expressions speak volumes about their daily struggles to survive within this unforgiving environment. As we reflect on this snapshot from history, it is important to acknowledge the progress made since then in improving living standards for all. This evocative image serves as a powerful reminder that no child should have to endure such deprivation or grow up surrounded by squalor. Let us use this photograph as a catalyst for change - an inspiration to continue working towards eradicating poverty and ensuring every child has access to safe and decent housing.
