  • A cyclist is startled by a nearby bus horn that emits a warning to pedestrians at the location of a roadside memorial to cycle courier Henry Warwick aged 61, killed in an accident on the junction of Bishopsgate and Wormwood Street. Warwick worked for Rico Logistics and was said to be an experienced urban cyclist, working as a courier in London for more about 20 years. Nevertheless, he has joined a growing list of tragic deaths due to collisions between bikes, trucks and in this case, a Terravision coach. Over one million Londoners own bicycles and between 1986 and April 2011, 439 cyclists have been killed in traffic accidents in Greater London.

  • This memorial has been placed where a man called 'Andre,' died at Butterfly Walk, London, England, UK. If we drove past this place where someone's life ended, the victim would just be an anonymous statistic but flowers are left to die too and touching poems and dedications are written by family and loved-ones. One reads: "“Did you witness anyone leaving the area with bloodstained clothing?." From a project about makeshift shrines: “Britons have long installed memorials in the landscape: Statues and monuments to war heroes, Princesses and the socially privileged. But nowadays we lay wreaths to those who die suddenly - ordinary folk killed as pedestrians, as drivers or by alcohol, all celebrated on our roadsides and in cities with simple, haunting roadside remberences.
