Throughout the sixties and early seventies Shirley Baker spent many days wandering the streets of Manchester and Salford, taking photographs of children at play, women out shopping, old men on street corners. Her pictures capture the character of a whole way of life which was just then disappearing: a street world caught in late afternoon light, at the end of an era. Her astonishing colour and black and white photographs were first shown in the highly acclaimed Images of Salford exhibition at Salford Art Gallery.
