  • A couple of mixed-race have put their heads through the apertures made in a painting that depicts Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, on the Palace Pier at Brighton, on the south coast of England. The faces peep through this traditional attraction that few can resist, even in the 21st century. The man’s face looks disturbingly incongruous in the place where the Prince Consort’s white German character would be. There is a message here of a changing multi-cultural British society where these friends or partners are from other ethnic backgrounds and where mixed-marriages are now commonplace, as opposed to the Victorian era when attitudes to racism and race-relations were vastly different.

  • City workers relax during lunchtime outside St Botolph's Church Hall. Originally an infants' school, St Botolph's Church Hall stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate. The entrance to the hall is flanked by two Coade stone statues of a schoolboy and schoolgirl wearing 19th century costume. The original Saxon church, the foundations of which were discovered when the present church was erected, is first mentioned as ‘Sancti Botolfi Extra Bishopesgate’ in 1212. St. Botolph without Bishopsgate may have survived the Great Fire of London unscathed, and only lost one window in the Second World War, but on 24 April 1993 was one of the many buildings to be damaged by an IRA bomb.

  • An inspection by the Thames Water Utilities sewer cleaning team looks closely at Victorian-era brick wall linings of the Fleet Rivers Victorian-built storm sewer of Blackfriars, beneath the streets of the City of London, on 19th June 1994, in London, England. Discarded fats from restaurants congeal in sewer networks leading to blocked pipework. Sewer men shovel the deposits and bring them in vats to the surface. In the early 19th century the River Thames was practically an open sewer, with disastrous consequences for public health in London, including numerous cholera epidemics with the The Great Stink of 1858 a turning point. Intercepting sewers constructed between 1859 and 1865 were fed by 450 miles 720 km of main sewers that in turn conveyed the contents of some 13,000 miles 21,000 km of smaller local sewers using 318m bricks, 880,000 cubic yards of concrete and mortar and excavation of over 3.5m tonnes of earth.

  • Exterior of the Algernon Tollemache almshouse in the west London village of Ham. The Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 established a Board of Guardians, comprising 21 elected guardians for Kingston and its surrounding parishes.

In 1881, Algernon and Frances were living at nearby Ham House but after his death Francis founded six almshouses in Ham in his memory, with an endowment of £16,000 to support three couples and three single residents.

Transport by rail can ben seen clearly as we look down on to this landscape of urban sprawl in south London: The railway tracks zig-zag through the heart of the borough of Lambeth, near Loughborough Junction, Brixton - showing us how in the late-1800s, the city was sliced through by such rail routes that helped open up the city to the less wealthy - adding to the inner-city. This route is known as the London Bridge (in the east) to Victoria (west)  loop that provides a shortcut across the southern regions, from one station to another.

  • A detail of a Victorian house gable in the Essex seaside town of Frinton-on-Sea. Ornate blue painted woodwork looks fresh and clean despite it being 100 years old. The name of the property reads as Essex House and the date of its construction as 1896. A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of a sloping roof. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system used (which is often related to climate and availability of materials) and aesthetic concerns. Thus the type of roof enclosing the volume dictates the shape of the gable. A gable wall or gable end more commonly refers to the entire wall, including the gable and the wall below it.
