  • A half-bricked up and painted Victorian terraced house window. With the main door to this old period home painted a vibrant green, one half of the window features the same colour while in the middle section, bricks have replaced a pane of glass, in the manner that Georgian property owners doid when faced by government window taxes - penalising those with glass window and a solitary beer can rests on the sill of the right window.

  • Possessions and rubbish collects outside a repossessed Victorian terraced house in south London. In the foreground we see a For Sale sign strapped on the brick wall by local estate agents Burnet Ware & Graves in Herne Hill, Lambeth SE24. The front bay window has been sealed up with plyboard to stop squatters gaining entrance and the domestic remnants of evicted owners who have perhaps defaulted on their mortgage is thrown on the path - a scene of domestic poverty. As a result of the 1987 a stock market collapse, the UK economy experienced a downturn resulting in public services suffering a reduction, including the loss of owners' homes. The recession of the early 1990s describes the period of economic downturn affecting much of the world in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

  • On the corner of Draycott Place SW1 and Cardogan Gardens SW3 is Stuart House, a red brick property boasting clipped vegetation set in a brick window recess that suggests that at one time, a window was removed and filled in with more brick - its mortar and pointing is a different spacing. Strong spring sunshine is almost overhead making hard shadows on the recess and on the well-painted black gloss paintwork on the railings. Stuart House was constructed in 1880. It is a large red-brick detached house in the ‘Queen Anne’ style. Cadogan Gardens SW3, is an 1890s development between the King's Road and Sloane Street.

  • 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.

  • Three Mills at Bow Creek, East London. The House Mill is a grade 1 listed 18th century tidal mill originally built in 1776.<br />
<br />
The House Mill is a grade 1 listed 18th century tidal mill set in a beautifulriverside location in the heart of London’s East End. This remarkable building is believed to be the largest tidal mill still in existence in the world.Originally built in 1776, on an existing pre-Domesday site it is a timber framed building clad in brick on three sides. In addition to flour making, the mill served the famous distillery next door on Three Mills Island. Built across the River Lea, the Mill trapped the sea and river water at high tide to turn the water wheels on the ebb. The outflowing water turned four large wheels driving twelve pairs of millstones. These four wheels and six of the pairs of millstones survive together with other historic machinery. The Mill ceased milling in 1941 after it was bombed during the Second World War.

  • View over the River Thames towards St Pauls Cathedral and the City of London from the Blavatnik Building Viewing Level at Tate Modern art gallery in London, England, United Kingdom. The building, originally Bankside Power Station, was designed by the architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. Constructed from a brick shell supported by an interior steel structure, its striking monumental design with its single central chimney, had often led it to be referred to as an industrial cathedral. The 360-degree rooftop viewing deck is one of the headline features of the Switch House – the 64.5-metre-high Tate Modern gallery extension by Herzog & de Meuron, opened to the public in June 2016.

  • Blacked out windows are an excellent example of avoiding the window tax at Hanbury Hall on 10th July 2020 in Hanbury, United Kingdom. Window tax was a property tax based on the number of windows in a house. To avoid the tax some houses from the period can be seen to have bricked-up window-spaces ready to be glazed or reglazed at a later date. In England and Wales it was introduced in 1696 and was repealed 155 years later, in 1851. Hanbury Hall is a large 18th-century stately home standing in parkland at Hanbury, Worcestershire. The main range has two storeys and is built of red brick in the Queen Anne style. It is a Grade I listed building, and the associated Orangery and Long Gallery pavilion ranges are listed Grade II. It is managed by the National Trust and is open to the public.

  • A Christmas tree glows in a warm window of a rural house seen from outside in bleak temperatures during mid-winter snows in England. In deep blue light we experience from the feel of this picture, the rawness of deep winter, the icy conditions where an unseen country-living family are safe indoors. The property is a cottage on a quiet road in the Mendip hills, southeast of the city of Bristol in western England. It is during the Christmas holiday period and families, who are lucky to have reached their homes during very difficult weather, are now enjoying the solitude and tranquillity of a peaceful life - away from the metropolis. Their brick wall is topped with snow and the light from the burglar alarm shows the security system is active. We also see the bleak landscape of bare trees and the remote icy road.

  • Blue refuse bags have been left at the foot of a matching blue brick wall. In this side street of a south London suburb, we see the garbage lying on the pavement (sidewalk) surrounded by autumnal maple leaves. The wall in the background has been roughly painted, the bricks starting to crack. But the picture is about the similar colours of the wall to the Southwark borough council bags that are provided free for residents wishing to dispose of green garden waste only. If you live in a house or flat at street level you will have a blue box and bag for your recycling. In most cases, if you have a green rubbish bin you will also be able to use a blue box and bag.

  • Four estate agent's property boards advertise their names and numbers in a London housing estate, each representing vendors selling their houses and flats for a set commission in the housing market. Above the signs is the pink blossom from a cherry tree whose branches hang over the temporary information boards. The term originally referred to a person responsible for managing a landed estate, while those engaged in the buying and selling of homes were "House Agents", and those selling land were "Land Agents". However, in the 20th century, "Estate Agent" started to be used as a generic term, perhaps because it was thought to sound more impressive. Estate agent is roughly synonymous in the United States with the term real estate broker.

  • On a brick wall is a painted red hand that grips an Armalite automatic weapon which has been painted on to a street wall of a house off the protestant Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The red hand is actually better-known as The Red Hand Defenders (RHD),  a Northern Irish paramilitary group formed in 1998 and composed largely of Protestant hardliners from loyalist groups observing a cease-fire. It is composed of members of the Ulster Defence Association (largely those who once belonged to the now disbanded 2nd Battalion, C Company) and Loyalist Volunteer Force, most of whom are still part of the latter organisation.

  • 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. Ham always had one or two representatives, but sent very few of its poor to the workhouse, mainly assisting them locally in almshouses. Algernon Gray Tollemache (24 September 1805 – 16 January 1892, London) was a British gentleman and politician. 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.

There are perhaps defining moments on all big trips. Arriving in Vicksburg, Mississippi at dusk just as a  huge thunderstorm was beginning to break was one of them. It had been raining so hard, that an alligator had mistook the four-lane Interstate for the swollen Mississippi beside it and tragically met its death there. But as we drew into elegant Vicksburg, with its pillar-fronted houses on hilly streets, something astonishing happened. The sky, the result of a hot, setting sun, and the remains of a storm, was suddenly alive with an iridescent glow, so otherworldly, it looked like a space ship had landed.  A rainbow stretched between two red brick towers, and you could just hear hear a steamer's horn, as it edged its way down the mighty Mississippi.

  • This is Kaka Khalil with local builders. He has 7 children up to the age of 13, including a new born baby who is only ten days old. He lives with his three brothers. His father lived in this house and his grandfather before him. His father was tailor for king Zahir Shah. Kaka Khalil acts as a community representative.  The residents of Murad khane  are enjoying improved conditions thanks to the  charity Turquoise Mountain  which was  was  set up by Rory Stewart. He was asked personally by Prince Charles to take on the task of rebuilding the ancient heart of Kabul. His charity using local labour and the goodwill of the community is substantially into the task and has also set up a school training Afghans in traditional crafts. The area had literally been turned into a rubbish dump, now though using ancient skills the buildings are being restored to their former glory, Stewart is hopeful that he can contribute significantly to the local economy.

  • A poorly maintained red door with the number 48 of an old Victorian property in the north London district of Kings Cross. This area of north London is a across the road from the mainline station where European visitors arrive on the Eurostar from mainland Europe and the King Cross area is set for more redevelopment so the future for this original architecture is uncertain.

  • A bright red painted door and matching post box on a country cottage in the village of St Mary Hoo, near Halstow on the Kent Thames estuary marshes, potentially threatened by the future London airport. The village (pop approx 240) of St Mary Hoo might be affected by any furure development for the new transport hub on an unspoilt landscape that could controversially become the site for London's estuary airport, built on reclaimed and marshland on the river Thames, east of the city. Current London mayor Boris Johnson is in faviour of this project to alleviate pressure from other airport hubs, regardless of wildlife (especially a nearby protected bird sanctuary). St Mary Hoo is a village and civil parish in Kent, England. It is on the Hoo Peninsula in the borough of Medway. The first appearance of the name is in 1240

  • A couple walking downhill are silhouetted against autumn sunshine, against high-rise flats and Brixton Lido seen from Brockwell Park, Herne Hill SE24. Making their way towards the brown brick of the Lido and the brighter, more modern materials of the flats, we see a scene of partnership and togetherness, where people otherwise live isolated and anonymously in an inner-city like London. Brockwell Park is a 50.8 hectare (125.53 acres) park located between Brixton, Herne Hill and Tulse Hill. Brockwell Hall house and its grounds were acquired by the London County Council (LCC) in March 1891 and opened to the public the following summer. In 1901 the LCC acquired a further 43 acres (17 ha) of land north of the original park.

  • Old Edwardian brick housing alongside new apartments in a block developed by Skanska in Coldharbour Lane in Camberwell, Lambeth, South London. The new building's balconies have fluouerscent green that looks garish in the afternoon sunlight, similar to the high-visibility tabards of nearby constructions workers. Whilst known mainly for large high-profile schemes, Skanska also undertake many smaller projects including public realm improvements, involved in some of the UK’s most prestigious projects in both the Private and Public Sectors.

  • Poor terraced housing and alleyway in Liverpool with black refuse bags left against poor housing brick walls. Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmen’s' strike of 1991, we see a cobbled alley of 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre, and home to deprived families. The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • Clothing hanging on a washing line in a Pimlico housing estate in London. Reflecting a bygone era when the residents of inner-city tenements and housing estates hung out their washing on wash days (usually Mondays in the UK), relying on honesty and the community spirit to ensure their safety. Today we see this rarely apart from courtyards like this in west London. The walls are made fromclassic London stock bricks but the colours of a vibrant 21st century Britain are seen strung along the line.

  • Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991, two young "Scouse' girls lean against a brick wall in a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. There is an older, taller white teenage girl with blonde hair dressed in a blue shell-suit and a shorter and younger friend of Asian-descent. Looking suspicious and amused at something across the cobbled alley of these 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre, home to deprived families. The industrial action aginst the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • During the Liverpool binmens strike of 1991, litter and refuse bags collect in the back alleyway of back-to-back terraced houses, on 14th June 1991, in Liverpool, England. Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmans strike of 1991, two young Scouse girls lean against a brick wall in a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool over that summer when streets filled with rubbish.

  • Two young ‘Scouse' girls sit on a telephone junction box and against a brick wall on which there is graffiti and childish scribbles. They are near a back alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. The older, taller girl is of Asian-descent and the younger is White British who hides her face with her top. Both are facing other activity in this inner-city street where there are 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre and home to deprived families. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • Housing development construction hoarding at Nine Elms, Battersea, south London. Children run around and residents of a new housing project, unaffordable to locals. Homes alongside London's iconic Battersea power station have gone on sale, three years before the first one will be ready to move into. The Circus West development will see 800 homes built around the south London landmark, which is the largest brick building in Europe. The development includes a mixture of flats, townhouses and penthouses together with offices, shops and leisure facilities, and is the first phase of seven. By 2024 there will be more than 3,400 homes. Residents will have access to an elevated garden, and prices are similarly lofty: studio apartments start at £338,000, one-bed flats at £423,000.

  • In a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England, we see many black bin-bags are left against industrial brick walls awaiting collection during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991.

The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool during the summer of '91 when streets filled with rubbish.

  • The message in graffiti lettering "Don't come here they attack you" has been written on a wall outside a house in the Toxteth area of Liverpool, Merseyside England. Flat 1A has a bright red-painted door and red bricks in an otherwise poverty-stricken district of this poor inner-city where crime and social deprivation has become the normal way of life for Scouses (someone from Liverpool). We see the red theme carried throughout this image of threat and ill-discipline where survival is clearly hard. These 'back to back' terraced houses have largely been demolished during Liverpool's regeneration during the 60s and 70s though some remain, accommodating unfortunate families on low-income.

All of the East End Sunday markets have been affected by the Coronavirus outbreak, with some completely closed and some currently partially open. Coronavirus or Covid-19 is a new respiratory illness that has not previously been seen in humans.

  • A worker pulls a wheel barrow loaded with bricks through the construction site of a new housing development  in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China on 19 July 2012. While the Chinese government has tried various ways to cool down the property market, real estate prices have still seen a steady increase in recent years, proving hard for the country to move away from an investment driven economy.
