Why were they overlooked? The photographs are more conventionally pictorial. They don't 'say' anything. They are silent. You would hardly believe that the City of Sheffield is a bustling, thriving metropolis. There's also a sense that 'you've travelled one thousand years into the future after all human life has gone — and nothing has changed' (Photography and the uncanny).
In their muted way I find these images sad — and also disturbing.
