  • An educated man reads a book with a City of London sculpture above his head. Concentrating on his literature, a book about dreams, the male looks carefully at the words on each page, anaware of his surroundings during a lunchtime break from his office job. The architecture of a modern city is seen above, with the characteristics of a Greek Corinthian column on the top right. We see a scene of education and pravacy, of modernity and classicism.

The Honourable Society of the Inner Temple is one of the four Inns of Court around the Royal Courts of Justice which may call members to the Bar and so entitle them to practise as barristers. The Temple was occupied in the twelfth century by the Knights Templar, who gave the area its name but was heavily bombed during the Blitz of 1940-1 and the reclining marble memorial to predecessor, John Hiccocks who held the office of Master in Chancery between 1702 and 1723 (d 1726) behind the young law student is marked by the partially-demolished Goldsmiths Chambers on the north side of Temple Church where Hiccocks is buried.

  • British and Nepali-born army officers assess recruits during an army exercise trial known as the British Fitness Test (BFT) at the British Gurkha Regiment's camp at Pokhara, Nepal. The boys are among those trying for a highly-valued place in the regiment after a gruelling series of tests to eliminate the weaker and less able candidates. 60,000 boys aged between 17-22 (or 25 for those educated enough to become clerks or communications specialists) report to designated recruiting stations in the hills each November, most living from altitudes ranging from 4,000-12,000 feet. After initial selection, 7,000 are accepted for further tests from which 700 are sent down here to Pokhara in the shadow of the Himalayas. Only 160 of the best boys succeed in the journey to the UK. Nepal has been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

  • A newly-recruited Nepali boy is about to leave his homeland for the UK, where the British army is to make him a fully-trained soldier in the Gurkha Regiment. Daubed with saffron and paint, the sign of good luck on a journey to come, he stands with absolute pride with garlands of fresh flowers draped around his neck by well-wishing relatives before they wave good bye to their son or brother for his two years absence away from home. Some 60,000 young Nepalese boys aged between 17 - 22 (or 25 for those educated enough to become clerks or communications specialists) report to designated recruiting stations in the hills each November, most living from altitudes ranging from 4,000 - 12,000 feet. After initial selection, 7,000 are accepted for further tests from which 700 are sent down here to Pokhara in the shadow of the Himalayas. Only 160 of the best boys succeed in the flight to the UK. The Gurkhas training wing in Nepal has been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

  • Two young men dressed in office suits casually stuff their lunches during a hot lunchtime break in the Broadgate Estate in the City of London. Both with legs across knees, the lads in their 20s sit on a bench beneath a tree alongside the statue of a traditional gardener, slightly bent and equipped with hoe and wearing a wastecoat, hobnailed boots and flat cap, an iconic salt-of-the-earth workman. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-exhausted man whose life has been spent working the honest land.  The English social divide is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus the youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.
