Photos show the intolerable conditions as men washed themselves in sinks and buckets and cooked food in stoves in their cramped rooms

Stunning archive photos show the reality of every day life for Chinese sailors living in a squalid Liverpool hostel.

Dating mostly from the 1940s and 1960s, the striking images show men living in cramped conditions, living on top of one another in bunk beds.

Some of the photos show what we would now see as intolerable conditions as the men washed themselves in sinks and buckets or cooked food in stoves in their dingy rooms.
