Shirley Baker was born in Salford and produced documentary photographs depicting the lives of people in the local area throughout the 1960s and 70s. They showed Salford as how it was, being a very happy go lucky place despite the run down buildings and the lack of money within Salford when she was taking these images.And the social changes within the middle class.

I love this below image as it show as child wearing adults shoes pushing a pram which you also expect to see an adult with. The image demonstrates the child playing in Salford/Manchester, I found this image shows a typical child playing at being an adult.
