In 1974 photographer Chris Hunt documented the lives of working class families in Beeton Grove, Longsight – a small terraced street just a couple of miles from Manchester city centre.

"I was surprised to discover the different ways everyone lived. In some of the houses I could feel the warmth and affection within the family, the children were happy and everyone was interested in what I was doing. In others I felt more of a stranger and was never really accepted. Possibly having a tape recorder did not help, but the feeling was still there after three or four visits. Generally speaking the interviews were more like discussions, after my first visit to each household I gave each family some free photographs, which made subsequent visits easier."
