20000920UK Urban Idylls # 60 Wythenshawe council estate Benchill Manchester. At the time the most deprived ward out of 8414 in England. Two more friendly faces. Unknown to us, the word had gone out that we were not to be molested. so we swanned around in ignorant bliss for a week. The preferred way to attack someone was "bricking - you don't need much imagination to know wat that means... #niceyoungmen #bricking #demolition #drugs #gentrication #manchester #mill #capitalism #engels #marx #ruins #photography www.hughes-photography.eu www.hughes-photography.eu www.flickr.com/photos/michael_hughes www.monochrome.photos www.hughes.berlin @hughes_photogra
20000920UK Urban Idylls # 59 Wythenshawe council estate Benchill Manchester. At the time the most deprived ward out of 8414 in England. Here are the two boys from the front - wonder what they are doing today? The houses which the two boys are vandalising were being pulled down because it was the only way to get rid of the drug dealers who had moved in. The public telephone box nearby was reported as receiving the most incoming calls of all telephone boxes in Britain. #vandals #demolition #drugs #gentrication #manchester #mill #capitalism #engels #marx #ruins #photography www.hughes-photography.eu www.hughes-photography.eu www.flickr.com/photos/michael_hughes www.monochrome.photos www.hughes.berlin @hughes_photogra
