Invisible Cities : Salford before, during and after redevelopment 1952 to 1974

Mitchell, Alexandra; Poppelreuter, Tanja

Abstract

This book focuses on the transformation of Salford between 1952 and 1974, when terraced houses and neighbourhoods were being replaced with modern architecture.

The book (and exhibition) is the culmination of The Modern Backdrop, a two-year research project at the University of Salford. We were kindly asked to publish the book to accompany the exhibition and we think it's a lovely thing.

The book and exhibition consists of photographs and architectural renderings - alongside oral histories from Salford residents past and present . Photographs were supplied by professional and semi professional photographs plus many were sent in by members of public who lived in and around Salford during its redevelopment.
