Jimmy Forsyth, nacido en 1919, falleció el 19 de Julio pasado. En 1943 perdió un ojo en un accidente laboral y a partir de entonces su vida se complicó ("nadie quería contratar a un tuerto", explicaba). Con la compensación económica por el infortunio abrió un negocio que le duró poco. Tomó estas fotografías del barrio de trabajadores inglés de 'Scottswood Road' entre los años 50s y los 60s, periodo en el que contemplaría su demolición. De Amber Online.
A photographer who passed away on the recent 19th of July. He took this portraits at the english working class neighbourhood of Scotswood Road in the 50s and 60s decades, and during that period he was to watch its demolition. He had perviously lost an eye in an accident while working as a fitter and that was the beggining of a long struggle for him ("nobody wanted to hire a one eye fitter", he explained).
