Shirley Baker started to photograph the streets of Manchester and
Salford in the early 1960s when homes were being demolished and
communities were being uprooted. 'Whole streets were disappearing
and I hoped to capture some trace of everyday life of the people
who lived there. I was particularly interested in the more mundane,
even trivial, aspects of life that were not being recorded by
anyone else.' Shirley's powerful images, sparked by her curiosity,
recorded people and communities involved in fundamental change.
People's homes were demolished as part of a huge 'slum' clearance
programme, however Shirley was able to capture some of the street
life as it had been for generations before the change. The areas
have been redeveloped to form a new and totally different
environment. As Shirley once said, 'I hope by bridging time through
the magic of photography, a connection has been made with a past
that should not be forgotten'.
