  • Two disability access signs outside the British Library, London, United Kingdom.  One guides the way to the accessible staff entrance and the other for the public entrance.  The signs use the International Symbol of Access designed in 1968. The symbol is often seen where access has been improved, particularly for wheelchair users, but also for other disability issues.  Frequently, the symbol denotes the removal of environmental barriers, such as steps, to help also older people, parents with baby carriages, and travelers.

  • Keep Clear for fire access markings on cobbles outside residential buildings in a north London side street. Stencilled on the cobbled surface we see the yellow lettering outside a block of flats in central London. In order to keep the entrance clear of obstructions in times of perhaps fire or other events, when emergency services would need to get through the gates. Cobbled roads klike this are now rare, having been upgraded by local authorities and replaced by smoother and modern materials.

  • As if about to be crunched underfoot, shattered glass from the windows of offices in the historic City of London side-street, stickers and notices for Access (Mastercard) and American Express (Amex) credit cards lie on the disaster-strewn pavement (sidewalk). This is some of the debris lying about after the huge Bishopsgate bomb on 24th April 1993, London's most expensive terrorist atrocity during the Provisional Irish Republican Army's (IRA) sustained bombings on the British mainland. Buildings up to 500 metres away were damaged, with one and a half million square feet (140,000 sq m) of office space being affected and over 500 tonnes of glass broken. Costs of repairing the damage was estimated at £350 million and was possibly the IRA's most successful military tactic since the start of what was called the Troubles from 1969 onwards.

  • An odd job maintenance man bends awkwardly on a pair of stepladders to reach an internal light fitting in the cafeteria area of auditing company Ernst & Young's Norman Foster-designed 385,000 square foot European headquarters at More London, England.

The brick wall marks the boundary of no access to land near River Lea in East London. Sharp barbs of security wall line the top, keeping out trespassers.  Covered in graffiti, it describes more the outer limit of the the property secured by the Olympic Authority who purchased land from small industrial businesses and landowners, separating people from their own localities - all in the name of a three-week sporting event that few feel they would benefit from.

As a landscape of confusing lines and linear design, we see the paintwork of the jet aircraft echoed in those of the platform struts and the steps that help the maintenance crews gain height and access to the high places required for the work to be carried out. At its tallest point, the 747's tail is 63 feet (19m).

Yet somehow this old dispenser remains in place, a symbol of the way things were.

  • A local lady shopper passes-by a Closed Road sign on a hill in south London during wintry snows. Rather than drive to her local supermarket, the woman has instead parked her car in a safer place and walked to where she can stock up on provisions. She has made her way up the incline from the shop and looks over to the sign telling others that this road is temporily shut to vehicles. During a mid-winter morning, when commuters are struggling to reach their work places, the capital also finds it hard for transport and infrastructure to keep running as normal. Local councils facing government cuts also find it hard to maintain services during such challenging conditions.

  • Police tape and a makeshift sign warn of a lane closure due to flooding in the village of Lavant, West Sussex. Afternoon sunshine illuminates the roughly-made board with red painted letters which says 'Road Closed'. The rippling water is less than a foot deep and we can see the broken white centre line beneath the surface but the linked posts that border the village green are also submerged. Even so, traffic is prohibited from passing through there for the risk of grounding or damaging engines. Lavant is a village just north of the city of Chichester. It is made up of two parts, Mid Lavant and East Lavant, and takes its name from the River Lavant which flows from East Dean. This area has been prone to flooding for several years and houses around the rising rivers can be blighted with insurance companies refusing future cover.

  • Someone's confidential information and personal data stored on floppy and Zip discs is dumped in a skip (dumpster) on south London street. The digital media may not be readable by modern PC computers but the confidential information may still be taken by those intent on stealing identities for fraudulent purposes. The owner of these discs has nonetheless recklessly tipped them in a now rain soaked box and left them to be seen or taken by passes-by. Lying with building rubbish and household waste, the data is scattered and visible.

  • A Samaritans sign lending emotional support and safety for those considering suicide at an unmanned level crossing in Reedham on the Norfolk Broads. Isolated railway lines like this in the UK are often locations where the desperate make serious decisions about their lives and the Samaritans make their presence known by placing signs with their phone numbers as a deterrent in this rural corner of Britain known as East Anglia, known for its flat fenland landscape, wide skies and small communities.

  • In the darkness of a taxiway at the southern end of Heathrow Airport, the bright lights of an engineering hangar spill out into the night. A Boeing 747 Jumbo jet sits nose-in behind another during a scheduled set of maintenance tasks that every aircraft needs to keep to in order for its continued airworthiness. The unmistakable shape of this large aircraft is a half-silhouette against the intensity of the hangar and blue flare spots that arise from the internal glass in the camera's lens. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).
