  • The words Good as Gold are written on the top of a Victorian building in Southwark, south London. With blue sky and clouds above, we see an urban street message sprayed on the former warehouse near Waterloo. “Good as gold” or “as good as gold” are common English expressions meaning something is genuine or reliable. Referring to people, particularly children, they usually mean well behaved. “Good as gold” is one of numerous figures of speech involving gold as a desirable standard of some kind. The expression is a simile, an analogy used to describe something by comparing it to something else. The word “gold” itself is one of the oldest words in the English language.

  • Brick Lane street sign written in English and Bangladeshi in east London. We look up at the tall Victorian building made of bricks to a blue sky and the street sign in two languages. The neighbourhood is in east London, a largely Bangladeshi community known for its fine cuisine and Islamic culture. It runs from Swanfield Street in the northern part of Bethnal Green, crosses Bethnal Green Road, passes through Spitalfields and is linked to Whitechapel High Street to the south by the short stretch of Osborn Street. Today, it is the heart of the city's Bangladeshi-Sylheti community and is known to some as Banglatown.[

  • A wide view of Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square bathed in late afternoon orange light. The statue of an unknown public figure stands prominently with his arm raised towards this Victorian-era, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. The building functions as the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments but here, the 5 Olympic rings hang from the building's facade, a gesture for when the city was the bidding candidate for the 1996 and 2000 Olympics. Completed by architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1877, the building features imposing murals by the artist Ford Madox Brown depicting important events in the history of the city. The Town Hall was rated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building in 1952 and the Town Hall Extension completed in 1938, was Grade II* listed in 1974.

  • In the late afternoon on a warm summer's day, drinkers enjoy a pint or two outside The Phoenix pub at Denmark Hill station, Camberwell, South London. Seated at tables and on benches, the friends and colleagues relax in the warm sunshine outside this Victorian station, built in 1865. Its design is in the Italianate style, with an extremely decorative frontage. After a fire in 1980 the building was renovated and restored. The project included the addition of the public house, initially called the Phoenix and Firkin to commemorate the fire, then called O'Neills and now known as the Phoenix. A Civic Trust award was given to the building in 1986.

  • The staircase of 2 Temple Place, on 17th September 2017, in London, England. The main staircase rises up from the Staircase Hall to the Gallery on the first floor. The staircase has seven mahogany carvings by Thomas Nicholls on the newel posts, these representing characters from Alexandre Dumas’s The Three Musketeers. As an example of a late Victorian mansion, it was built for William Waldorf Astor primarily as his state office by one of the foremost neo-Gothic architects of the late nineteenth-century, John Loughborough Pearson. Astor had emigrated to England in 1891 as arguably, the richest man in the world and no expense was spared when work began on Two Temple Place in 1892. Today, the building is owned by the Bulldog Trust and supports the charitable activities of the Trust through exhibitions and events hosted in the building.

  • As traffic zooms past, the art installation called 'House' stands alone on a now-empty and house-less East London street. Oddly, the contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property — 193 Grove Road — in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). Created by the artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) this is her best-known sculpture. It won her the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993. Here we see 'House' next to a lamp post which throws down it's light on a winter evening, before it was controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

Lying in the mountainous mining district of the former counties of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, in the valley of the Ebbw Fach.

We see the reflections of the GLA building pasted over the evening sky above Tower Bridge. London's famous bridge was completed in 1894 and remains one of the capital's most visible symbols both for Victorian engineering and as a tourist landmark. The Mayor's Greater London Authority (GLA) headquarters stands over the Thames, opposite the Tower of London on the north shore.

  • Detail of yellow London brick stock laid in English Garden Bond on a south London Edwardian house. Rows of brick and cement, known as mortar are laid in courses called bonds and here, this style of ordering them is specifically, Sussex Bond. The stock of brick is London Stock, a yellowish colour favoured by Victorian and Edwardian buildings in the south-east of England. This was made locally in Suffolk and Kent and transported up-river on stumpies or brickies - kinds of Thames sailing barges. But bricks and mortar is also a metaphor for home ownership and in the economic sense, the value and security of investing in property.
