Commissioned by the charity Shelter, Nick Hedges photographed Bradford in 1969–70, documenting the housing crisis of the time with images that capture the links between domestic life and industry.
“Bradford stuck to me, I liked the city for being itself, and I liked the people for their openness. The city had a face and was not yet wearing the mask of the chain store—Mothercare, Tesco, etc.”
—Nick Hedges
