A spliced house stands to the left of a street with only half of its structure remaining. To the right there is a row of houses, half of them derelict, two people stand in the doorway of another. In the foreground there is a patch of flat ground with a small black car parked and a corrugated metal shed, with a spade and bucket perched outside it. A block of flats emerges in the distance and the sky is washed a pale blue, casting a crisp cold light across the sombre buildings.
