Shirley Baker is the name of the only female photographer to shoot on the streets of British cities in the post-war period. Of particular interest are her photos from the poorest areas of Manchester. This is where real life was in full swing!

"Wandering the indescribable streets of Manchester and Salford with a camera seemed completely crazy for most people of that time," Shirley later wrote. But she considered it her duty to capture people who had a very difficult time in that critical era.
