Burnley, a town in the heart of Lancashire, was once at the centre of Britain's Industrial Revolution. Nestled within stunning views of the Pennine countryside, its textile mills became known around the globe.

Rock bottom prices have seen outside investors snap up whole rows of housing. But does that investment come back into the town and its people? Some families are forced to choose between a life on the streets or living in houses riddled with rats and mould. Some are even sleeping in their cars.
