Prams, Crosby, 1972

The Long Way Home - Bernard Fallon's Liverpool images

3 March to 15 July 2007

"This photograph was taken just after the introduction of decimal currency in England, and it was still the era of trading stamps. These babies had been left outside, not as a sign of abandonment, but really as a sign of their parents' confidence that everything would be OK. Or maybe either they weren't able to get the large prams into the shop, or it was the shop's policy to leave prams outside. The babies seem to be having a conversation, perhaps discussing their security?"
