  • The modern city of London and the ancient temple Teotihuacan in Mexico. The giant ad for Mexican tourism is a riverside poster opposite 21st Century architecture. The holy city of Teotihuacan ('the place where the gods were created') is situated some 50 km north-east of Mexico City. Built between the 1st and 7th centuries A.D., it is characterized by the vast size of its monuments – in particular, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, laid out on geometric and symbolic principles. The City of London is a city and ceremonial county within London. It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the conurbation has since grown far beyond the City's borders.

  • Schoolchildren and mothers walk in the rain past the medieval Little Hall  in Lavenham, on 9th July 2020, in wool town Lavenham, Suffolk, England. Little Hall is a late 14th Century hall house on the main square, its story mirrors the history of Lavenham over the centuries.

By the 1700s it was giving homes to six families and was restored in the 1920s/30s. The wool trade was already present by the 13th century, steadily expanding as demand grew. By the 1470s Suffolk produced more cloth than any other county.

  • Members of the Deptford Jack in the Green dance from pub to pub to Greenwich, London to mark the start of spring. In the 16th and 17th centuries in England, people would make garlands of flowers and leaves for the May Day celebration. After becoming a source of competition between works Guilds. Participants wear traditional green faces and forest foliage, at tradition from the 17th Century custom of milkmaids going out on May Day with the utensils of their trade decorated with garlands and piled into a pyramid which they carried on their heads. Amongst modern "folkies" and neo-pagans the Jack in the Green has become identified with the mysterious Green Man depicted in mediaeval church carvings and is widely felt to be an embodiment of natural fertility, a spirit of the primeval greenwood and a trickster.

  • Visitors inspect the row of childrens' graves in the churchyard of St James, Cooling, Kent. Charles Dickens wrote about these graves in the opening of his famous novel Great Expectations (1860). Dickens lived nearby in Higham and referred to this row of children's tombstones now inevitably referred to as Pip's graves. Dickens pictures them as '....five little stone lozenges each about a foot and a half long which were arranged in a neat row ... and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine....' In fact the Cooling graves belong to the children of two families, aged between 1 month and about a year and a half, who died in the late 18th and 19th centuries.
