EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the post-war era in Barlinnie, Glasgow, August 1946. The image captures a poignant moment as squatters move into derelict housing amidst the backdrop of poverty and slums that plagued this period. In this snapshot of history, we witness a family determined to create a home despite their challenging circumstances. With belongings piled high on a cart, they navigate through the worn-out streets of Barlinnie with resilience etched on their faces. Their determination is palpable as they carry furniture and essentials into their new abode. The dilapidated state of the buildings serves as a stark reminder of the dire living conditions faced by many during this time. Yet, against all odds, these brave individuals refuse to succumb to despair. They seize an opportunity for shelter and hope in these abandoned structures. This photograph encapsulates not only the struggle but also the strength and tenacity exhibited by those who endured such hardships in post-war Britain. It serves as a powerful testament to human resilience and resourcefulness in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by Mirrorpix, let us reflect on how far society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in ensuring everyone has access to safe and adequate housing.
