  • Two days after the Irish Republican Army (IRA) exploded a truck bomb on Bishopsgate, an optometrist's business remains open (like the eye illustration at the frontage) but it is boarded up with plywood with the words Open as Usual painted by hand. Debris has been swept up on the pavement awaiting collection but the scene is otherwise as it should. But one person was killed when the one-ton fertiliser bomb detonated directly outside the medieval St Ethelburga's church on 24th April 1993. Buildings up to 500 metres away were damaged, with one and a half million square feet (140,000 m) of office and retail space being affected and over 500 tonnes of glass broken. Costs of repairing the damage was estimated at £350 million. It was possibly the (IRA's) most successful military tactic since the start of the Troubles.

  • Damage caused by Typhoon Haiyan, Santa Fe, Bantayan Island, The Philippines. On November 6 2013 Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines and was one of the most powerful storms to ever make landfall. The storm had a devastating impact on the fishing and seaweed industry and caused extensive environmental damage which will have a long term impact on ecosystems and the communities who rely on them for food and employment. Three-quarters of the island’s population of about 136,000 depend on fishing as their main source of income. Thousands lost their boats and equipment in the storm. Oxfam is working to support the immediate and long-term needs of affected communities on Bantayan Island including establishing boat repair stations in Bantayan.

  • Seen from behind, two young boys are busy writing their graffiti tags on windows on a London underground tube train, during an overland section of the capital’s rail system near Ladbroke Grove. Armed with heavy-duty semi-permanent marker pens, they lads are committing the crime of defacement and criminal damage to London Underground property, a persistent problem that costs the transport company network up to £3 million a year to remove. Partitions and glass are being scribbled on with their unique identity signatures used by kids of this age to leave as a mark of their presence, like animals instinctively leave a scent on a street corner. If caught, juvenile delinquents like these may escape with only a caution because of their age but older ones are prosecuted, though some times after leaving many thousands of tags across their neighbourhood.

The most northerly corner of this old building that caught fire in a private chapel on the first floor of the north-east wing. Spreading quickly, damaging St Georges Hall, which is often used for banquets. In all, one hundred rooms were damaged in the fire and intense public debate was sparked about whether the taxpayer should foot the repair bill, as the castle is owned by the British Government and not the Royal Family. But the Queen agreed to meet 70% of the costs, and opened Buckingham Palace to the public to generate extra funds. The £40m restoration took five years. Windsor is the largest inhabited castle in the world and partly dates to the time of the Norman King William the Conquerer.

  • A London youth is busy tagging on windows of a 90s London underground tube train, during an overland section of the capital’s rail system near Ladbroke Grove. Armed with heavy-duty semi-permanent marker pens, the lad is committing the crime of defacement and criminal damage to London Underground property, a persistent problem that costs the transport company network up to £3 million a year to remove. Partitions and glass are being scribbled on with their unique identity signatures used by kids of this age to leave as a mark of their presence, like animals instinctively leave a scent on a street corner. If caught, juvenile delinquents like these may escape with only a caution because of their age but older ones are prosecuted, though some times after leaving many thousands of tags across their neighbourhood.

  • The massive IRA bomb in Bishopsgate Street in the heart of the City of London destroyed a substantial number of businesses and disrupted a major part of London's financial hub. In the days after the attack on 24th April 1993, we see the pictorial evacuation of smiling faces in a portrait of Pret a Manger staff, the sandwich and lunch chain (from the French 'Ready to Eat'). The image was hung above the premises and construction workers wearing hard hats transport the picture, like hundreds of other nearby businesses whose workers carried away company property, for temporary safe storage. This store was also badly damaged and had to be transferred to another location. The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. It is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area.

  • Two male pedestrians walk past a broken post that leans over after being pushed over by an unknown vehicle. Walking along the narrow pavement, one allows his older colleague to go ahead, so tight is the space. Heading out into sunlight, they carry on their journey on a warm lunchtime in the London borough of Southwark. The repairs appear to be imminent as the two cones, mark the place of damaged street items that protect the corner and building. Southwark is responsible for road works within its region of south London.

  • Flames lick the roof of the Queen's private and state apartments in Windsor Castle as smoke darkens further the night sky. We see the most northerly corner of this old building that caught fire in a private chapel on the first floor of the north-east wing. Sprading quickly, damaging St George's Hall, which is often used for banquets. Windsor is the largest inabited castle in the world and partly dates to the time of the Norman King William the Conquerer. In all, one hundred rooms were damaged in the fire and intense public debate was sparked about whether the taxpayer should foot the repair bill, as the castle is owned by the British Government and not the Royal Family. But the Queen agreed to meet 70% of the costs, and opened Buckingham Palace to the public to generate extra funds. The £40m restoration took five years

  • A leaning traffic light pole and covered others in a City of London street. Damaged perhaps by a vehicle that has crashed into the post and making it stand at an odd angle, it contradicts the stance of the man at the front, about to cross the road. The location is in the City of London, the heart of the capital's financial district and where roadworks have disabled the traffic lights covered with orange covers so pedestrians need to take care when crossing the street.

  • Viewed from a low angle, an unidentified youth is seen spraying graffiti art on to a wall in the Notting Hill area of West London, England. We see his partially-obscured face lit from behind with a strong amount of flash which throws a well-defined shadow of his hand holding a spray can. It is a chilly night and the boy's breath is seen against the frosty night air. His graffiti art has taken him some hours to spray on this white wall and shows a glossy finish. The picture is anonymous because of the young man's face is unseen and generic, because we don't see where the wall might be located.
