The desolation of cleared land - Salford, 1964

A housewife pushes a baby in a Silver Cross pram across the wide empty space created by the demolition of rows of tightly-packed Victorian terraced housing in Salford, Manchester. Her children seem to be finding the piles of rubbish, large puddles and wonky paving stones prime territory for games and imagination in the wet misty gloom. Photograph by Shirley Baker
