'A failure of society': Britain's slum housing crisis – in pictures

Sarah Best

8th February 2021

This article documents some of the living conditions from the 1960s in the UK.

I imagine some students may be shocked to see some of the images with the earliest image taken from 1968. The article could be used as part of a discussion about relative deprivation, childhood and poverty.
