  • A young lad of 10 poses for a portrait taken by his brother while holding the hand of his young nephew. Confusingly, the 10 year-old uncle and the 1 year-old child are closer in age than the two brothers. The older boy is on holiday in Malawi visiting expat family in the then capital, Blantyre, so named after the town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, where the explorer David Livingstone was born. Both boys stand in the dust of a back yard where a broken windmill remains upright in the intense brightness of mid-day. It is a scene of awkward and gangly boyhood versus the confidence and innocence of young childhood and their posture is exaggerated by differing heights. Kodachrome film has a wonderful magenta colour cast in mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

  • A 5 year-old girl stands outside her south London home on the first day of proper school, a momentous day and a rite of passage. Standing on the path by the front door of an Edwardian period south London home, the girl holds a brand new book bag with the initials of her local school of St Saviour's, repeated on her school jumper. She looks calm but is inwardly nervous of the day about to unfold - a rite of passage for every schoolchild, climbing the ladder of life.

  • A young child is allowed by an unseen parent to play  unknowingly on the memorial for Jewish Kinder Transportees at Liverpool Street mainline Station in the City of London. The Kindertransport is a rescue mission that took place during the nine months prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. The United Kingdom took in nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Nazi Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and the Free City of Danzig. The children were placed in British foster homes, hostels, schools and farms. Often they were the only members of their families who survived the Holocaust.

  • Wearing a pink-flowered safety helmet and a red reflective safety bib saying 'Easy Rider', a pig-tailed nine year-old girl cyclist examines a map of Greater London during the first traffic-free Hovis-sponsored event called 'Freewheel' when many streets in the city were closed off to cars for one Sunday, 23rd September 2007. This girl has already ridden 6 miles from the Peckham area of South London and before the day is finished, will have pedalled 10 miles more on this late-summer Sunday - starting and finishing in Peckham Rye Park. The map shows major roads in blue and minor streets in yellow with the River Thames snaking horizontally through the capital.

“I was here in the civil war but when the Taliban came I left.  Every day a hundred or two hundred rockets were fired, inside and out side the city. In 2001 this city was totally devastated We took at least twenty rockets in this building. we were at the back hiding; it went on for hours. It was just me, mum, uncle and the Mujahideen” .

  • Two elderly ladies walk past a Sunglasses Hut shop whose theme is London Fashion Week's 'Punk it Up'. We see the older generation seemingly overwhelmed by the tastes and styles of young people today with the poster for the annual fashion festival advertising this year's theme.

  • Ahmad Shah, carpenter, has been working at Turquoise mountain for a year and a half, and is paid Sixty dollars a day ( which relative to the average is considered a very good wage). He is widowed and has two grown up children who are also carpenters. Before TM he worked for another company making tables and chairs. The residents of Murad khane  are enjoying improved conditions thanks to the charity . Turquoise Mountain  was set up by Rory Stewart. He was asked personally by Prince Charles to take on the task of rebuilding the ancient heart of Kabul. His charity using local labour and the goodwill of the community is substantially into the task and has also set up a school training Afghans in traditional crafts. The area had literally been turned into a rubbish dump, now though using ancient skills the buildings are being restored to their former glory, Stewart is hopeful that he can contribute significantly to the local economy.

  • Four small vessels belonging to traditional oyster fishermen use nets to catch a new harvest of shellfish aboard their antique boat from the Fal Estuary. On calm waters, the oystermen have harvested on the River Fal in the same traditional and highly sustainable fashion, without the use of mechanical power, for more than five hundred years, being widely grown along the whole Cornish coast when the Romans invaded, and by 1602 they were being caught in much the same way as they are today, using thick, strong nets, called dredges. Byelaws banned oyster dredging by mechanical means, forcing local fishermen to rely on wind and tide in purpose-built, sail-powered Falmouth Working Boats. Although most oyster fishermen in Falmouth have other seasonal jobs, for the most experienced and committed fishermen oysters provide a decent year-round livelihood.

  • Sarah Wanjiru, 10yrs with mother Jane Wajira , and Jane’s grandchild pose for pictures next a small tip where they have been picking rubbish to make some money. They recycle mainly plastic; on average they can make up to 150-200 Ksh a day ( $1-2). The dump here is smaller with less pickings but safer than the main dump in Eldoret. <br />
<br />
Jane had her first baby when she was as young as 12-13; she now has four children which she cares for her self . Her husband was killed in the Kenyan riots of 2007/8. Her 10-year-old daughter Sarah comes to help her sort rubbish when she’s not at school. Sarah was lucky enough to find a sponsor to pay her admission fees and cover her uniform and books – barriers that prohibit many of Kenya’s poorest children from attending the country’s free primary schools.

  • It is late on a summer Somerset evening and light is fading towards bedtime for children. Clutching a small bunch of daisies, a five year-old girl gazes at one of her flowers as if held in a trance. Standing in a meadow belonging to her grandfather, she holds up a single stem and twirls it around in her fingers to see its shape and sense its smell. About to climb over a gate in the background, her younger brother is having an adventure of his own, standing on the metal horizontal part of the frame, holding on with one hand. It is a tranquil scene of childhood innocence, of long summer days and summer holidays. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released.

Leaping up at the tree trunk, the dog is excited enough to think it can catch or frighten these fast-moving creatures that occupy London's parks and public spaces in their thousands.

The distant sun sinks low over 100 year-old ash trees in the background making this scene one of beauty in an otherwise urban location.

It is a beauitiful autumn afternoon in this inner-city suburban district of Britain's capital, approximately 5 miles south from the River Thames. Late orange sun shines on these period homes that were completed in 1908, the age of innovative building in the new 20th Century. The properties overlook the borough park named after John Ruskin, the renowned artist and commentator who lived in nearby Herne Hill. It looks an affluent area, a prosperous location to invest in a mortgage in uncertain times with market prices falling during the credit crunch and recession.

  • Commuters at 5.30pm leaving the city crossing London Bridge, winter 1976. London Bridge, which opened to traffic in 1973, is a box girder bridge built from concrete and steel. This replaced a 19th-century stone-arched bridge, which in turn superseded a 600-year-old medieval structure. This was preceded by a succession of timber bridges, the first built by the Roman founders of London. Coming and Going is a project commissioned by the Museum of London for photographer Barry Lewis in 1976 to document the transport system as it is used by passengers and commuters using public transport by trains, tubes and buses in London, UK.

  • Tom Alty, right, commentator and judge of Bartle, Lancashire, with Stan Samuels, 'Showing pigs is a performance because you don't have a halter and rope or bridle, you just have a bat [a stick] and a board. You have to have an empathy between pig and handler, but even the good pigs are not as obedient as you'd like. At one show about 15 years ago I asked my wife, who had never taken an animal in the ring, to walk round an old Large Black sow. It was a placid pig, but suddenly there was a grunt and a rush, and the pig disappeared into the horticultural tent, which housed, among other things, a display of eggs. My wife has never been to a show since. The Great Yorkshire Show, one of Britain's biggest agricultural shows, is famous for its competitive displays of livestock.

  • An officer (L) from the clubs and vice unit look through material during a raid on the 'Ishka' sauna, Hornsey, North London. Scene where a multi million pound vice ring was centred by Josephine Daly. A male member of staff looks on. Josephine Daly was thought to have been an eccentric woman who named her house after a pet dog she had buried in the garden. Rarely seen outdoors or driving her white Rolls-Royce, the bespectacled 64-year-old hardly aroused suspicion in Hornsey. But when detectives began investigating one of the capital's biggest vice rings, they soon discovered "Josie" was not what she seemed. Over more than a decade, the quietly spoken Irish woman had built up a prostitution empire based at three saunas which was earning her an alleged £3-4m a year.<br />
Only one of the premises actually had a sauna. Undercover officers were offered a sex menu after paying a £10 entry fee and ushered into a massage room where they made their excuses and left.

  • Price list at the Y2K Sauna, Seven Sisters Road, Holloway, London. Scene where a milti million pound vice ring was centred by Josephine Daly. Josephine Daly was thought to have been an eccentric woman who named her house after a pet dog she had buried in the garden. Rarely seen outdoors or driving her white Rolls-Royce, the bespectacled 64-year-old hardly aroused suspicion in Hornsey. But when detectives began investigating one of the capital's biggest vice rings, they soon discovered "Josie" was not what she seemed. Over more than a decade, the quietly spoken Irish woman had built up a prostitution empire based at three saunas which was earning her an alleged £3-4m a year.<br />
Only one of the premises actually had a sauna. Undercover officers were offered a sex menu after paying a £10 entry fee and ushered into a massage room where they made their excuses and left. A surveillance operation showed 1,500 men were going to the brothels at Aqua Sauna, Lanacombe Sauna, and the Ishka Bath every week.

  • Eileen Hallifield and her husband, Richard, own Dunstall Hector, a two-year-old Longhorn bull. He has had conditioner added to the last lot of water, to keep his coat from drying out. 'They come to like the grooming because it makes their coat so nice and clean,' Hallifield says. 'It would feel nice, wouldn't it? They are like one of the family, although they are not a pet like a cat or a dog because eventually they have to go,' Hallifield adds. Dunstall Hector has since been sold for breeding, but the Hallifields  will have a framed portrait of him in their living-room. The hairdryers are out and the shampoo is flowing at the Great Yorkshire Show, one of Britain's biggest agricultural shows. Its famous for its competitive displays of livestock. The event, established in 1837, attracts over 125 000 visitors a year and has over 10 000 entries to its pedigree competitions ranging from pigeons and rabbits to bulls and shire horses. At the heart of the show is the passion of the exhibitors who spend hundreds of hours ( and pounds)  training, preparing and grooming their animals.

  • Both wearing slightly ridiculous pairs of glasses, two delegates dance on the floor at the annual Party Conference of 1990 at Blackpool during the premiership of Prime Minister John Major. The dance they are attempting allows them to somehow stretch out their arms to make a theatrical point. The lady is wearing a bare-backed dress with old-fashioned spectacles while her partner wears a formal dinner suit including a black bow tie and with thick-rimmed glasses. They are at this evening event to help raise funds for Britain’s Conservative Party under the leadership of the then PM Major who had just taken over the running of the country from the deposed Margaret Thatcher earlier that year.

  • Using techniques developed over thousands of years, a portrait of traditional thatchers with straw for a barn roof in Suffolk, England. In England a ridge will normally last 10–15 years. Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge (Cladium mariscus), rushes and heather, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof. It is a very old roofing method and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates. Thatch is still the choice of affluent people who desire a rustic look for their home or who have purchased an originally thatched abode.
