'Farewell Squalor' housing in the Durham Coalfield

This project was part of 'Coalfield Stories', commissioned by Amber Side. 'Farewell Squalor' refers to the document written in 1946, stating the case for building New Towns and moving the working classes out of the 'squalor' of the pit villages. For that reason, the photographs are primarily of Peterlee and Easington Colliery
