The photo is the work of John Bulmer, and it's of a Manchester street in the early 1970s.
See more of Bulmer's work here. I don't yet know the book's designer, but they're very clever indeed.
UPDATE: The designer is the excellent Jim Stoddart.

Desolation
The book is a look at early-'70s Britain, economically wrecked, incompetently run (the government of the day declared no fewer than five states of emergency over a four-year period) and terrorist-plagued. Some living there now might wonder what has changed. But what gets me here is the cover. It's like something out of Cormac McCarthy's The Road.
