Abstract

Bradford is my hometown and in the 1970s and 1980s the double edged sword of redevelopment and industrial decline destroyed the core of the inner city where I was born and grew up. I spent weeks walking the streets of Bradford photographing
the communities and landscapes that were being demolished and changed. Whilst this small selection of images documents a city undergoing drastic change, it also represents the humour and resilience of inner city working class communities.
