Degeneration by mr lewis http://collectivesencounter.wordpress.com/2011/02/11/simon-carruthers-the-ferrier-estate-degeneration/#comment-171 Wed, 09 May 2012 23:04:40 +0000 http://collectivesencounter.wordpress.com/?p=570#comment-171 as someone that grew up on this estate from a baby till in my twenties i have very strong views on this place.
i’d like to put you striaght on one aspect of this artical though. this estate wasn’t built as “social” housing, it was built as council housing. i didn’t know a single kid on that estate whos parents didn’t work and pay their rent and service charges. in fact, when my parents applied for a place on that estate they had to prove they earned enough to pay the rent and charges. everyone was veted before being offered a place. it was a real community that had everything you could possibly want from schools, doctors and dentists to supermarkets, sweet shops, green grocers butchers a bank, a church a library, the list is endless. i don’t know a single person that grew up there that regrets growing up there. the problems started when the council for unknown reasons decided to start dumping problem famillies on there. eventually only unemployed people could get a place there and every time a decent family left they were replaced with scum bags. it’s a terrible shame what the council done to this place. believe me, it wasn’t rose tinted glasses, it REALLY was a fantastic place to bring up a familly. i only wish these places still existed, i’d give anything for my kids to have what we had on that estate, instead of the soleless misserable suburban streets that are left as the only other option.

it is the first time I see such a long empty space within sets of pix on the same flânerie. Does the animal have hiccups? it is nice as it adds some kind of temporality to the body of work.
francis hodgson was very excited with the index and said (more prosaically) that he reminded him stock images library… (hazard of his past profession?)
