EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Cyril Maitland in 1960, transports us back to the slum housing of Salford. In this poignant image, we see a three-year-old boy named John Logan sitting on the worn-out streets of Greater Manchester. The date is marked as April 3rd, adding a sense of historical significance to this snapshot. Despite the harsh reality of poverty that surrounds him, young John finds solace in his playtime with a beloved Mickey Mouse toy. His innocent smile contrasts starkly against the dilapidated houses and destitution that define his surroundings. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, children possess an innate ability to find joy in the simplest things. Maitland's composition skillfully captures both the physical decay and emotional resilience present within these slums. The crumbling architecture stands as a testament to neglect and hardship faced by those living here. Yet, through his lens, Maitland also reveals glimpses of hope - embodied by little John's playful spirit. This photograph not only documents an era but also sheds light on social issues such as poverty and inadequate housing prevalent during mid-20th century Lancashire. It serves as a powerful visual narrative that urges us to reflect upon our collective responsibility towards creating better living conditions for all members of society. Memory Lane Prints offers this evocative piece for those seeking insight into history while reminding us of our duty to address societal inequalities – ensuring no child has their childhood overshadowed by
