Chris Hunt

In 1974, Chris Hunt photographed his neighbours on Beeton Grove, a terraced street in Longsight, Manchester. The residents included English, Irish, Pakistani and Cypriot families, photographed in their homes and elsewhere across Manchester and Salford.

Hunt approached the project house by house. Alongside the photographs, he recorded conversations with residents about their families, work, housing and circumstances. He returned to several households, giving families prints from earlier visits before continuing the work.

The series extends beyond Beeton Grove to nearby shops, workplaces, pubs and social clubs.
