🇬🇧 14 YEARS AFTER BBC PANORAMA VISITED SHADSWORTH ESTATE… HAS ANYTHING CHANGED?
Back in 2012, BBC Panorama visited Shadsworth Estate in Blackburn to document poverty, antisocial behaviour and the struggles facing the local community.
Now, 14 years later, I'm here in 2026 to see what's really changed.
In Episode 6 of BROKEN BRITAIN, I explore the streets of Shadsworth Estate, documenting the rough and ready surroundings, visible deprivation and the reality of life in one of Blackburn's most talked-about estates.
BBC Panorama's 2012 documentary, Trouble on the Estate, highlighted the challenges facing this community. But what does Shadsworth look like today?
Has the estate improved since the BBC cameras left, or are residents still facing the same struggles?
BROKEN BRITAIN is my documentary series exploring deprived estates, struggling towns, forgotten communities and the reality of everyday life across the UK.
No sugar-coating. No pretending everything is perfect. Just real streets, real communities and what I see on the ground.
This isn't about judging the people who live here. It's about documenting the conditions and giving communities a voice.
