. This photo print, taken by Raymond Kleboe on the 5th of October 1955, transports us to a time when back-to-back slums dominated the landscape of Birmingham, England. The image captures the harsh reality of domestic life in post-war Europe, shedding light on social issues that plagued this once-thriving city. In this hauntingly beautiful photograph, we are confronted with rows of dilapidated houses standing side by side like silent witnesses to poverty and hardship. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the architecture and artistry within these humble dwellings. Each house tells a story through its worn-out facade and weathered walls; it is a testament to resilience amidst adversity. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes the desolation that engulfs this forgotten alleyway. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we cannot help but reflect on the lives lived within these cramped spaces - lives filled with struggle yet bound together by an unyielding spirit. Raymond Kleboe's masterful composition draws our attention not only to the physical decay but also to the societal neglect that perpetuated such conditions. This archival piece serves as a reminder of how far society has come in addressing issues of poverty and inequality while urging us never to forget those who were left behind. As we contemplate "Back Alley" let us be inspired to create a future where no one is
