Liverpool Rubbish Strike Alley
During the Liverpool binmens' strike of 1991, litter and refuse bags collect in the back alleyway of back-to-back terraced houses, on 14th June 1991, in Liverpool, England. Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991, two young "Scouse' girls lean against a brick wall in a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool over that summer when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs existed in the 1990s after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)
