Description:This photograph shows a father and his three children in their one room attic flat. Liverpool 8 was one of the worst slums in the UK and many people were forced to live in squalid rooms in multi-let properties. Much of the photograph is in shadow, the only light source was a skylight not seen in the photograph.
