I lived on Winthtrop St til 1971. The houses had no hot water or central heating, and no bathrooms, and an outside toilet. My nan used to take us to the local baths once a week to keep us clean. It would have taken a significant retrofit to make them habitable to late 20c standards. Did love the sound of the underground though….

Many thanks. Great to see these images as we live on Durward Street and probably at the spot where the photos of the awful fracas were taken. We’re wondering whether there are any more of this exact area as it would be great to see them if there were?

Wonderfully evocative pictures – one doesn’t often have the stages of urban destruction laid out separately like this. And how lucky the photographer was – in a strictly photographic sense – to have happened to be there when the fight broke out outside the Woods Buildings market.

Thank you. Excellent photographs, they take your eye in and not every photographer can do that, I really like these, Philip Cunningham sees his subject with an artist’s eye and it shows. Great.
