Martin Parr, photographer acclaimed for observations of British life, dies aged 73 Known for acute observations of class system, Parr’s images were often in vivid colour with more than a dash of humour

Chronicled the way we were. Always interesting observations on life. RIP.

London council to draw up plan for repurposing closed schools into temporary accommodation The borough of Hackney in east London is working on a proposal to repurpose primary schools shut due to falling pupil numbers into temporary accommodation.

A grim logic to this. Unaffordable housing means not enough families with children means school closures means temporary accommodaton for familes with children who are homeless

The Good Old Days
Β 
Pity the poor children
of today, with their calendars
stuffed with chocolates,
Β 
never to know the thrill
of opening a small cardboard door
and discovering behind it
Β 
a picture of a bell.


Brian Bilston
