Tales of Gloucestershire - 'June Street'

As part of one of our assignment we had to think of a photo story going by the details of  'Tales of Gloucestershire'. Using this as a guide line I came up with a few ideas on what I could shoot around Cheltenham and Gloucestershire. My other idea was that because Cheltenham and Gloucester are homes to the University and many student, I could photograph the student halls and the students that live in them. I currently live in Pitville halls and there is around 200 other students staying here too, unfortunately for us, their still building the rest of the campus so at the moments it's a bit of a building site. But knowing many of the students that live here I thought I could photograph them, and their bedrooms, the way that they have made it like home and comfortable for them. This is the idea that I'll be using for this part of the assignment.

Researching into some inspiration on how to go about this I found Martin Parr and Daniel Meadows work on 'June Street', in 1972-1973. June Street was a little street in Salford that got demolished in 1975, Parr and Meadows took these images prior to this as a sort of memory of what it was like. Below are 2 images from the series that help explain a little more about June Street. The top image is of the residents, the children and parents and all the others looking like one big family, which is what it was like in a 'typical Salford Street'. The bottom image is of June Street itself, just and overview of the houses from the outside on.

Below are some of the other images from the series, he took them in the front rooms of the house all in the same way. It shows the different families and how they've settled into the house in the time they've lived there. I feel like this was a huge influence on my idea and help with my work for my story.
