My third shoot was looking at the takeaway where the sexual abuse happened in Heywood, Rochdale in 2008.
ROCHDALE
GROOMING SCANDAL (Manchester Evening News, 2017)
Nine men who abused girls as young as 13 were convicted over a child sex grooming ring which took place in two takeaway in Heywood Rochdale, were found guilty of 21 counts of sexual abuse over a two-year period. The men were convicted on the back of evidence from five girls, who were as young as 13 when the abuse happened between 2008 and 2010. The Men picked on vulnerable girls, some of them runaways or in the care of social services. They picked on these girls as they were not given the attention they craved before being plied with drink, raped and driven all over the north to have sex with other men.
I did manage to find the takeaways but obviously due to the severity of the crimes that took place there they are no longer trading at the address,However i took the images of the sites of the two takeaways anyway. I will have text with my images like Paul Seawright to explain what these shops were before what they are now.
