Before the great clean-up began! Vintage pictures of New York in the 1970s show the raw life of the city in stark contrast to its modern glitz.
Stunning pictures have emerged that offer a glimpse into New York's gritty past when it was just a shadow of the city it would become.
The incredible images, taken over a decade before the famous 'clean up' of the city under Mayor Rudy Giuliani in the 1990s, show some of the Big Apple's landmarks as they were back then including Times Square, the Statue of Liberty and a poignant view from inside the World Trade Center.
Other shots portray the other side of the city that never sleeps as Chinatown and Harlem look rundown and graffiti is sprayed all over the subway.
The snaps were taken by Australian Terry Dwyer, 65, from Sydney, as he visited New York in 1979.
'I found New York City to be almost overwhelming so I took photos of scenes to help me remember,' he said
