George Shepherd was born in Eccles, Salford, in 1933 to a working-class family of third-generation mill workers. He took up photography as a young man and, from the early 1950s onwards, carried a camera with him wherever he went.
Working in black and white, Shepherd photographed the streets, buildings, and people of Salford and Manchester—places connected to his childhood, working life, and social world. He developed and printed his own photographs at home, using a spare bedroom as a darkroom. Made quietly over several decades, the work forms a personal record of everyday life, which Shepherd described as his own “memory lane”.
Shepherd continued photographing into the 2000s.
