Synopsis
A partly dramatised documentary built around Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen's photographs of the Newcastle terraced community, demolished to make way for the Byker Wall. Konttinen, a founder member of the Amber collective moved to Byker when the group came to NE England in 1969. She lived there until 1976, when her own flat was demolished.
