Burley, Leeds. October 1970. Photos by Ken Wakefield. In the autumn of 1970, my dad Ken went to a poor area of Leeds that was due to be cleared. He was there to create a photographic record of the houses that were due to be demolished. To his surprise, there were many young families and kids still living in these houses.

Burley, Leeds March 2010. Today I went to Burley with my dad to try work out what if anything was left of the area where he took the Mucky Kids photos. Very little remains and the area is now a pretty wild hillside. These are just a few snapshots to show what the area looks like now. No works of photographic genius were achieved today, but at least the weather matched that in the other photos.
