Led by the mother and father, a young boy walks fast on the church property gravel and on to the large old flagstones that are laid at the 16th century church door entrance.

  • A pair of awkwardly splayed legs disappear into the cold, murky waters of the Serpentine Lake in London's Hyde Park. Having just dived head-first off a platform that juts out into the lake, the person is half in and half out and the splash is frozen in time. He or she is in incopetent diver with such ungainly plunge into the waters. It is otherwise a quiet moment. The water is largely undisturbed apart from the dive and buoy markers float to for a boundary line to keep rowing boats and bathers apart. This bathing area is where the normally busy Serpentine Swimming Club have the use of this Royal lake known as Lansbury's Lido. It is now normally open only in the summer, but one traditional event occurs each year on New Year's Day, when the ice is broken and brave bathers dive into the cold waters of the lake. The Serpentine will be used for the swimming leg of the triathlon at the London 2012 Olympics. The Serpentine gets its name from its supposedly snakelike, curving shape. It was formed in 1730 when Queen Caroline, wife of George II, ordered the damming of the River Westbourne and other natural ponds in Hyde Park.

  • A young man in his twenties reads printed instructions after inserting a swab into his mouth to reach his tonsils and into his nasal passage from the rear seat of a car for a self-administered Coronavirus COVID-19 test in south London. There are four steps to the self-administered Covid-19 test inserting a swab into the nose and throat which the public works through in their car, windows up and all communications with army personnel via phone, in a south London leisure centre, on 2nd June 2020, in London, England. The kit provided consists of a booklet, plastic bag, swab, vial, bar codes and a sealable biohazard bag. The swab sample is taken from the back of the throat and nasal passage with the contents sealed and returned to soldiers through a narrow window. The whole process takes between 5-10mins with results available within 48hrs.

  • WW2-era concrete pillbox defence structure lies on the beach after coastal erosion at Warden Point, Isle of Sheppey, Kent. As part of Britain's coastal defences in the 1940s, beaches were mined and concrete bunkers  installed as lookouts facing out so sea and in the event of an invasion by German forces, as firing positions. Overhead, the Luftwaffe flew on their way to London during the Blitzkrieg. More recently, they have fallen into the sea after coastal erosion continues to wash the sedimentary soil (from the Eocene geological epoch of 52-51 million years ago) into the tidal waters of the Thames estuary. Chain Home Low Station at Warden Point was built in 1941 it stood on top of the cliffs then. Erosion of cliffs caused the remaining buildings to fall into the sea in the 1970s.

  • Ignoring a red pedestrian light, a schoolboy dashes out into commuter traffic at dawn on a foggy morning in south London. Despite the dangers of negotiating a busy road, the lad runs off the pavement and into the path of the oncoming cars. It is dawn at around 8.45 on this winter morning, a dark and miserable time of day in this south London suburb from where Londoners start their journeys north into the City. Cars and trucks wait for the lights to change, their headlights shining in the dispersing fog on Denmark Hill.

  • Working in a dark corner of Desford Brickworks, the factory owned by Hanson Brick in Leicestershire, a labourer pats his clay aggregate into a clod (also known as a clot or warp) a lump of kneaded clay formed into a rough brick shape by hand in preparation for being thrown into the mould (or mold) and shaped once again with a stock. He will then skim off the surplus with the bow - a wire stretched between the ends of a curved wooden rod used for removing excess clay from the mould, which hangs on the wall by a nail. The stage afterwards is the firing in the kiln. Obviously the mechanisation of brick making endangers the careers of skilled craftsmen like this man. <br />
Bricks may be made from clay, shale, soft slate, calcium silicate, concrete, or shaped from quarried stone but Clay is the most common material.
