Can I be your friend? 
Lovely set of photos, thanks for pointing me at them. There is a strange beauty in all that industrial grime but we must never forget the poverty and tough lives of the people who had to live there.
The painter Lowry was mentioned in the descriptions and that has reminded me that I was in the area just a few weeks ago and visited the modern theatre and gallery complex that is named after him. We saw a huge exhibition of his original work and my admiration for his style grew even more. Maybe I will post some pictures of the visit soon.
