● Yorkshire (1965)
-
Women, such as these in Leeds, attempt to add character and colour to the dreary exteriors of their houses by sandstoning the doorsteps and wax-polishing the window sills. '"She keeps a lovely front" is the accolade for a houseproud woman’ – the Sunday Times magazine, March 1965.
Photographs by John Bulmer. The 'North UK' set in particular are really interesting, not only for the photography but as a piece of social history.
