Abandoned
This photo was taken at Castletown in Sunderland. The housing estate there is in the process of being pulled down as part of the redevelopment of the area. It was very touching, being there. Most of the houses had been emptied and boarded up, others were still people's homes. SLogans had been painted onto the walls of the houses, some pleading for a better deal, others just wanting to be left where they are. Whilst I was there, a little boy ran out of his house and down the street. I got a real sene of abandoment, of despair whilst I was there. It maddened me that people who could help these families weren't. It seemed so ironic that the regeneration of this area, part of a better world for future generations, was forgetting about the future generations and their families.
