Bert Hardy
'Gorbals Boys' Silver Gelatin Print (Limited Edition)

1948

About the Item

'Blackpool Railings' Oversize Silver Gelatin Print (Limited Edition) Now widely recognised as a Master of Photography - this is considered to be one of his great masterpiece captures. Two boys in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. The Gorbals tenements were built quickly and cheaply in the 1840s, providing housing for Glasgow’s burgeoning population of industrial workers. Conditions were appalling; overcrowding was standard and sewage and water facilities inadequate. The tenements housed about 40,000 people with up to eight family members sharing a single room, 30 residents sharing a toilet and 40 sharing a tap. By the time this photograph was taken 850 tenements had been demolished since 1920. Redevelopment of the area began in the late 1950s and the tenements were replaced with a modern tower block complex in the sixties.
