  • Sitting among others in long grass a middle-class lady reads the high-circulation Daily Mail newspaper during a lunchtime break at the Chelsea Flower Show, in London England. The front page headline reads 'Icy Blast from the Kremlin' in an echo from the darkest days of the Cold War, when western media fuelled the insatiable appetite for propaganda. But this scene is from May 1989 before the fall of the Berlin Wall and when the eastern states of the Warsaw Pact were still ruled by their Communist masters. Visitors to this annual horticultural event either sit in the cool shade or like this woman who appears comfortable cross-legged in sandals and a summer dress, stays under the hot mid-day sun with her tabloid format paper spread and with her possessions kept in a shoulder bag.

  • Looking across south London towards Edwardian homes and block of flats in the darkness of the suburbs. It is late one evening in central London, in a suburb known as Herne Hill, SE24 in the borough of Lambeth. We see across the metropolis from quiet and expensive period homes, whose owners would typically be white middle-class, across to the blocks of flats (apartments) in the Loughborough Estate, a far rougher location for street gangs and high crime rates. Owners' cars are parked under streetlights and ash trees and lights shine out from living rooms and bedrooms.

  • While seated to have dinner at home, a young boy of about 10 years of age hides his face and wipes his lips with a serviette. Demonstrating perfect manners that his parents must have instilled in him, the lad's face is hidden from the viewer as he presses the cloth to his face to obscure his identity. He is eating some sort of pudding with a spoon and a fork rests on the highly-polished table on which an ornamental posy of flowers is reflected. It is a scene of immaculate etiquette that a boy from a middle-class background might be expected to show to elders and visitors. It is an example of grooming and pedigree to take with him out into the outside world where he will be expected to be the best behaved.

  • Red brick end house in Moseley on 5th January 2021 in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Moseley is an area where individual and grand homes were built  by industrialists in the early 1900s. Moseley and the surrounding areas were much developed after 1910, the new properties being mostly of large houses, designed to cater for the Edwardian middle-class families that settled in the suburbs surrounding Birminghams industrial centre.

  • On its regular morning walk and wearing a matching red coat as its owner, a small dog exercises in Holmead Road in the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. As the mutt looks at the camera, the man waits for him to stop sniffing around before moving on. The pair stand on crunchy gravel, a deterrent for would-be thieves who might be tempted to this small town where middle-class residents live. Poundbury is the visionary model village that Charles, Prince of Wales sought to develop in 1993 as a successful and pioneering town near Dorchester, built on land owned by his own Duchy of Cornwall, challenging otherwise poor post-war trends in town planning and to some extent following the New Urbanism concept from the US except that the design influences are European.

  • A family risk their safety near a larger cruiser while passing-by in a tiny motorised boat on the River Thames during the Henley Royal Regatta boat races, England. The father and children float past the larger vessel that could badly damage their boat in a collision. The river is busy on Regatta weekend and vessels of all shapes and sizes occupy an otherwise narrow stretch of water in rural Oxfordshire. Parties and good-humour on-board the cruisers still means that river laws and good behaviour must be followed to avoid accidents. In 1829 a boat race challenge was held between teams representing the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The venue chosen was a straight stretch of the Thames at the small town of Henley-on-Thames. Now held July and is one of the main dates on the sporting calendar and social season for the hoi polloi.

  • Both wearing slightly ridiculous pairs of glasses, two delegates dance on the floor at the annual Party Conference of 1990 at Blackpool during the premiership of Prime Minister John Major. The dance they are attempting allows them to somehow stretch out their arms to make a theatrical point. The lady is wearing a bare-backed dress with old-fashioned spectacles while her partner wears a formal dinner suit including a black bow tie and with thick-rimmed glasses. They are at this evening event to help raise funds for Britain’s Conservative Party under the leadership of the then PM Major who had just taken over the running of the country from the deposed Margaret Thatcher earlier that year.

  • The legs of two young girls sit astride their beloved ponies at a gymkhana in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. Wearing a smart herringbone patterned jacket, regulation jodhpurs, short polished boots and holding a crop to encourage the horse to perform a series of trick and races, the rider nearest the viewer sits calmly awaiting the next event. The word gymkhana is an Indian Raj term that referred to a place where sporting events took place to test the skill of the competitors. In the UK and east coast of the US, the term gymkhana now almost always refers to an equestrian event for riders on horses, often with the emphasis on children's participation (such as those organised here by the Pony Club). Gymkhana classes include timed speed events such as barrel racing, keyhole, keg race (also known as "down and back"), flag race, and pole bending.

  • Seen from an aerial viewpoint which gives a perspective of deserted housing and empty roads, Jill Parmeter plays post woman. She is a resident of the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. Delivering her own newsletter from door-to-door, she crosses Netherton Street and Tinten Lane to post her local news to residents and friends. The roads are empty of cars- nor is there anyone else to talk to. It is as if this community has vanished, leaving her alone. Poundbury is the visionary model village that Charles, Prince of Wales sought to develop in 1993 as a successful and pioneering town near Dorchester, built on land owned by his own Duchy of Cornwall, challenging otherwise poor post-war trends in town planning and to some extent following the New Urbanism concept from the US except that the design influences are European.
