After a week or so of wracking my brains and thinking about what I would like my project to investigate, I became inspired by the talk we were given by John Davis from the MMU Visual Resources Centre last week. He showed us slides from the collections, and what really caught my eye were the ones taken in the 1970s that depicted the housing estates in Hulme. I am interested by how Manchester used to look several decades ago, how this city was quite a depressing place to live at the time. Manchester was a very working class, industrial town, and the housing projects reflected this. I plan to look further into the old estates, particularly in Hulme and their subsequent demolition
