Ella writes about these photos and her mother:
“The new book is her work centred around Elswick, Newcastle upon Tyne, in the late 1970s, when she first returned from college in Newport. Her images capture the joy and freedom of childhood at a time when it was normal to play out in the street, in a way that has been largely lost today.
The landscape may be rough, but the kids are making the most of what little they have. They have a humour and resilience that shines through in every image. I have always loved this series, and the feedback I have received from people visiting the exhibition, is that these images are very special.
