  • Many pairs of anti-slip Acifort Wellington boots are awaiting users at the New England seafood suppliers in Chessington, London England. Made by British company Dunlop, these boots are designed as protection against the cold , insulating wearers in refrigerated workplaces such as this facility where fresh fish is processed ready for supplying UK supermarkets. Either showing their soles or standing on the floor alongside the wearers' outdoor footwear, they are coloured various shades of clean off-white or soiled cream. New England Seafood is a major supplier of fresh and frozen premium sustainable fish and seafood in the UK and one of the largest importers of fresh tuna. The Wellington boot -or wellie - was worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington and fashionable among the British aristocracy in the early 19th century.

  • The head of a freshly-caught yellow fin tuna fish lies inert on a filleting table at a refrigerated processing factory on Himmafushi island, Maldives. The 50kg carcass has been swimming across the Indian Ocean non-stop since birth and just line-caught by freelance boat crews who share profits for only high-quality fish that passes stringent health tests. The tuna has been in ice since being landed to keep a low-temperature body core so the workers cut out the prime flesh as quickly as possible before boxing the resulting chunks of steak for export by air to Europe and in particular for customers such as UK's Sainsbury's supermarket. The filleting is performed by Sri Lankan ex-fishermen and widowers, having lost their families during the Tsunami. Using sharp knives, they skillfully remove valuable meat and throw away the rest.

  • Cavity Wall insulation between the external brickwork and internal windowsill of a 1930’s house on the 23rd of January 2020 in Folkestone, Kent, United Kingdom. Cavity Wall insulation is a process used to retrospectively fill the cavity of an external wall with a cotton type foam providing insulation and improving the heat retention of a property, offering savings on the cost of heating that property and saving energy.

  • As evening light fades, bright light from the electricity-hungry Canary Wharf docklands development is supplied by the voltage from electricity cables and supporting struts at West Ham sub-station, Canning Town, London England. A network of 110 miles of cables have stretched across 542 'L6' pylons across England's Kent countryside, from the coal-fired power station at Dungeness to this location, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables to power some of London's high supply demands. Insatiable appetites for energy means electricity is now an expensive comodity after climbing oil prices doubled electricity utility bills for some domestic users.

  • An elderly gentleman has just emerged from a swim in the cold waters off Paignton, the seaside town in Devon, south-west England. Still to towel himself down, he looks chilled to the bone but stands talking to friends out of view. The man wears dark trunks (costume) and has a large belly but otherwise looks fit and healthy, a true picture of health for a man of his age, after swimming in these seas for many years and enjoying the endorphins that are stimulated after wild, outdoor swims.

  • Danger Asbestos sign on a construction / demolition site on 30th March 2021 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous mineral which is composed of long crystals, each fibre being composed of many microscopic fibrils that can be released into the atmosphere by abrasion and other processes. Asbestos is an excellent electrical insulator and is highly heat-resistant, so for many years it was used as a building material. However, it is now a well-known health and safety hazard and the use of asbestos as a building material is illegal in many countries. Inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to various serious lung conditions, including asbestosis and cancer.

  • Electricity cables stretch into early morning mist above Swanscombe, Kent, London England. In the foreground we see a stack of discs called Insulators which stop the electricity carried in the conductor (the wires strung between each pylon) from jumping to the pylon and then down to earth. The cables disappear into the winter fog creating a Sci-Fi scene of 21st technology. Diagonally, the cables travel across the picture but they are part of a line of 542 pylons that have already crossed 110 miles of English countryside, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables from Dungeness coal-fired power station to West Ham sub station in London's East End - to power the West End's high supply demands.

  • An example of an early 17th-century cottage, built of stone and clom (a mixture of clay, horse hair, and cow dung). Originally thatched, it is now fitted with a corrugated tin roof to save having to maintain straw thatching.  Llanerchaeron House has several holiday cottages in the grounds, their energy saving changes include extra insulation and biomass boilers. Here is an early 17th-century Clom (mud constructed walls), stone and thatch cottage, nowadays with a corrugated tin roof. The National Trust has cut energy use in its Wales region by a massive 41% over just two years, demonstrating that even the most sensitive buildings can be made much more energy efficient. Secrets of success include a combination of efficiency measures, sustainable heating technologies and culture change. As well as cutting down on energy use it has also installed renewable sources of energy, including solar PV and hydro power.
