  • Re-enactment soldiers at Housesteads Fort on Roman Hadrian's Wall, once the northern frontier of Rome's empire. Hadrian's Wall (Latin: Vallum Aelium) was a stone and timber fortification built by the Roman Empire across the width of what is now northern England. Begun in AD 122, during the rule of emperor Hadrian, it was built as a military fortification though gates through the wall served as customs posts to allow trade and levy taxation. The 4.5m high Wall was 80 Roman miles (73.5 miles, 117km) long and so important was it to secure its length that up to 10% of the Roman army total force were stationed here. Tough walkers generally take 7 days to trek its coast-to-coast length. These Roman soldier enthusiasts have dressed up for a Roman day.

  • Arbroath smokies hanging on sticks after being smoked on Auchmithie beach near Arbroath, Scotland. Arbroath smokies originated in Auchmithie, a small fishing village a few miles north of Arbroath. Only haddock can be used to produce an authentic 'Arbroath Smokie'. After cleaning, salting and washing, the fish are then tied by the tail in 'pairs' and hung on sticks. The smokie pit is then prepared. A hole is dug in the ground and a half whisky barrel is set into it, after lining with slates a hardwood fire of beech and oak is lit inside. The sticks of fish are then placed over the pit and a hessian cover allows the fire to breath and maintain the required heat.

  • Theodore Kyriakou is seen in his Real Greek restaurant in Hoxton, East London. He smiles to the view dressed in chef's apron and with a pen behind his ear. This Greek-born chef once served in the military but realised his ambition to cook by coming to London and eventually being the co-owner of Livebait, the renowned London fish restaurant chain. In 1999, he finally opened a restaurant specialising in the kind of food his mother used to make. The Real Greek was in business, recreating many of the dishes he remembered, he introduced authentic Greek cuisine to a new audience. Kyriakou's parents ran a deli in Athens. His mother, a natural cook, didn't follow recipes, though many of her dishes are influenced by a 2,000-year-old cookbook, the Deipnosophistai by Athenaeus. She still gets calls from her son to check facts.

  • Fake classical Greek statues stand outside a night club in Nafplio, a former Byzantines, Frank, Venetian, and Ottoman coastal Peloponnese port town of 14,000 on the Argolic Gulf. The walls of this modern building seen near wasteland on the outskirts of town are made to look authentic but result in a false tourist style. There are three pieces of fake art that stand on well-watered grass: One of a nude Greek Goddess, a miniature lion in the middle and nearest the viewer is a naked figure of a man - muscular and classically posed as a heroic and mythical figure. Nafplio was also the first capital of independent Greece which was  destroyed in the 7th Century for its alliance with Sparta. This contemporary landscape is therefore bears no resemblance to its heritage.
