City Demolished Demolition Derelict Houses Poor Poverty Rubble Ruins Slum Slums Street Terrace Terraced Inner City
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1966, capturing a significant moment in the history of Everton's Sampson Street and Kapler Street area. The image showcases the demolition process that was undertaken as part of a re-development project aimed at transforming this inner-city neighborhood. The scene is one of both destruction and hope, as old terraced houses lay in ruins while construction workers prepare for the future. The derelict state of these buildings serves as a stark reminder of the poverty-stricken conditions that plagued many urban areas during this time. It is evident that these slums were once home to families who endured hardships within their cramped living spaces. However, amidst the rubble lies an opportunity for change. This photograph captures not only the physical transformation but also symbolizes society's commitment to improving housing conditions for its citizens. With plans underway to build modern flats in place of these dilapidated structures, it signifies progress and a brighter future for Everton. Photographer Harry Sayle has skillfully captured this historic moment with his lens, allowing us to reflect on how far we have come since those challenging times. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember that every demolished brick represents an opportunity for renewal and growth within our communities.
