DOWN IN THE SWAMP sinks one of the two bulldozers that has been demolishing shanty towns at Industrial Terrace and Foreshore Road.
WHERE NOW: An infant girl stares blankly atop her mother’s suitcase in the May Pen Cemetery, two days after their Industrial Terrace shack had been razed. She was one of several children who slept unsheltered in the cemetery. In the background are tombstones.
WESTWARD: A shack is moved from the Foreshore Road shanty town to an alternative location further west as bulldozers flattened others for burning.
STILL BURNING: Huge, black mushrooms of smoke cover blazing squatter shacks in a swampy area of the Foreshore Road shanty town, where demolition operations were completed on July 13, 1966.
After the bulldozer sank in the mire, demolition by machines was abandoned and the shacks were instead set on fire.
