Phil took this photograph in 1978 for a documentary project on the Ordsall area of Salford.
"Joe Hunter, pictured in the doorway and surrounded by boarded up buildings, had a sign in the window to show he was still living in his house on Nashville Street.
Joe was born in Salford in 1906 working in a local mill as a seed crusher to make oil.
He was married to Savilla, born 1907, who was a cotton spinner and died in 1984. Joseph played the drums at St Josephs and the Ship pub, and was also a keen photographer".
