From the edition of 5.
"Garston is a district of South Liverpool and a major shipping and container port with many traditional Victorian terraces, shops and a street market, and a strong sense of community. High levels of unemployment and deprivation have had a negative impact on the area in recent years and this is evident in the fabric of some of the buildings, although redevelopment and regeneration are gradually transforming the neighbourhood; a shining silver state of the art health centre was being constructed when this photograph was taken. We don't know who is responsible for the I Love Here stencil on the tinned-up café but it makes you wonder how long term residents feel about the demise of their once thriving high street. We love the way the woman crossing the road colour matches the building as if to reinforce her connection to the place."
