En los 70s la fotógrafa finlandesa y miembro fundador del colectivo británico Amber, Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen, realizó un foto-reportaje sobre el área de clase trabajadora de Newcastle (Reino Unido) conocida como Byker, trabajo que amplió en los 80s con una película-documental. Cuatro décadas después de las primeras fotografías volvió a la comunidad, demolidas ya gran cantidad de las casas originales, para volver a retratar la zona y sus habitantes.
