These striking then-and-now photos, created by Dr Shane, offer a fascinating look at how Kersal, a district of Salford, Greater Manchester, has transformed over the decades.
Comparing images from the 1960s and 1970s with those taken in recent years reveals significant changes in architecture, streetscapes, and daily life: from traditional terraced houses and local shops to modern developments and evolving urban landscapes.
