It wasn't about photojournalism, or reportage, it was just using lots of different photographic equipment, doing lots of units in different areas. All I kept saying is ‘Can I use the darkroom? Can I use the room?’ It almost became more a facility to me than an actual course. I didn't learn that much, a few basics of camera craft and printing stuff and then I was just out doing my own stuff. Even when we were supposed to be doing studio stuff I'd be out doing clubs, raves, football, terraces, whatever, different stuff. I’d already found the way I wanted to be. I'd sit down with the teacher and say this is what I'm doing and they just told me what to fulfill to get the units for the course which I would do but it slowed me down. Portraits of a pair of gloves with roses coming out, it's just not for me all that. Grolsch bottles and jazz album covers specially lit with filters. So I think the rave thing kind of was a little bit of escapism. It got me into places, I was always more of a club person than a festival or rave with 20,000 people in a field. So yeah, I think there was a bit of indulgence and a bit of escapism, but I'd lived a lifetime of clubbing already before then you know, so it wasn't my teens, my youth. You know, it was somebody else's I was kind of looking into.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e36 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprinted in the UK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003estaple bound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14cm x 20cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Café Royal Books:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\"Café Royal Books is the idea of Craig Atkinson, an artist and lecturer.

Her street photography of the working-class inner-city areas, taken from 1960 until 1981, would come to define her humanist vision. Shirley’s curiosity and engagement with the everyday world around her resulted in many different strands of work, many of which are yet to be exhibited, each of which confirms her acute observation, visual humour as well as compassion for the lives of ordinary people as distinctive in its exploration of post-war British culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It has always astonished me how quickly things can disappear without a trace”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShirley Baker was born in Kersal, North Salford. Her father had a family furniture manufacturing business in Salford. She took up photography at the age of eight when she and her twin sister were given Brownie cameras by an uncle. As a child she developed her first black and white film in the darkness of the coal shed. Her passion for photography continues and she went on to study Pure Photography at Manchester College of Technology.

There they learned that location filming of the popular soap opera was shortly to end. This was because wholesale regeneration of Salford’s housing stock was sweeping away the ranks of Victorian terraced streets and their paving of stone setts, the very features which defined how a TV audience expected ‘the north’ to look. If the drama were to continue to look like itself, exterior scenes would henceforth be shot only at the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThis discovery inspired Meadows and Parr to go looking for a former classic ‘Street’-like location to document before the bulldozers moved in. They settled on June Street in Ordsall, twenty houses which were still fully occupied. Over eight weeks or so, using the college Hasselblad and a bright photoflood lightbulb (screwed into the ceiling socket), they photographed each household — adults, children, dogs, cats, the budgie and, in one case, a tortoise — sitting together in their front rooms. When it was all done, they invited everyone to take part in a group photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eOn 21 May 1973, BBC Look North broadcast a TV news feature constructed around their photographs incorporating a sound montage in voice-over of June Street residents articulating their anxieties about being relocated.
