Description
The Burnthouse Lane estate was conceived in the 1920s as a self-contained community for working-class families. Designed along Garden City lines, it aimed to address poverty and deprivation in Exeter's West Quarter slum. Despite initial ideals, the estate has struggled with social issues, yet its isolated nature and complex network of lanes have fostered a strong sense of community among residents. Photographer Michelle Sank has long explored themes of social identity and contemporary challenges through her work. Her photographs often blend place and person to create nuanced narratives that examine the human experience. Burnthouse Lane is a powerful exploration of one such community, shot by an internationally acclaimed photographer with a background in sub-culture and social issues.
