  • In a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England, we see many black bin-bags are left against industrial brick walls awaiting collection during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991. The cobbled alley of these 'back to back' houses are in a poor area, south of the city centre and home to deprived families. The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs now exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

Weeds have grown around the cobbled pavement and the windows are boarded up in a landscape of urban dereliction and social depravity.

  • A solitary person walks over wasteland in Liverpool, England, left after housing was demolished decades ago - its impoverished population having moved out for a better life elsewhere. the sign tells us the name of this road but paint has been daubed over it in an attempt perhaps, to erase its identity now that the community has gone too.

    90s_dereliction-08-08-1991_1.jpg
  • The message in graffiti lettering "Don't come here they attack you" has been written on a wall outside a house in the Toxteth area of Liverpool, Merseyside England. Flat 1A has a bright red-painted door and red bricks in an otherwise poverty-stricken district of this poor inner-city where crime and social deprivation has become the normal way of life for Scouses (someone from Liverpool). We see the red theme carried throughout this image of threat and ill-discipline where survival is clearly hard. These 'back to back' terraced houses have largely been demolished during Liverpool's regeneration during the 60s and 70s though some remain, accommodating unfortunate families on low-income.

  • Tehkhand Slum, Delhi, India.  A young girl walks through a sewage river running through the slum that she lives in. Indian slums are characterized as a run-down area of a city with substandard housing, squalor and lacking in security.  They are home to increasing numbers of people and families who are usually very poor or socially disadvantaged. Most slums lack clean water, sanitation and other basic services, and as such they pose a serious threat to public health as infectious diseases are able to spread easily, such as Tuberculosis (TB) and cholera.
