  • In afternoon sunshine, a local mother and her child on scooter pause to talk during a walk in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, South London. Bending down to the child's face, the mum makes her point known to the youngster who stands astride her toy before continuing their journeys around the upper paths of this Victorian public space. Brockwell Park is a 50.8 hectare (125.53 acres) park located between Brixton, Herne Hill and Tulse Hill. Brockwell Hall house and its grounds were acquired by the London County Council (LCC) in March 1891 and opened to the public the following summer. In 1901 the LCC acquired a further 43 acres (17 ha) of land north of the original park.

  • "Brave New World." On a maternity ward at Kings College Hospital, London, a tiny new-born baby girl sleeps in her cot at the foot of her mother's bed. We see the mum's legs and feet pointing towards some curtains against which her infant is wrapped in an NHS shawl to keep her snug and warm. But it's Summer and the bedding is ruffled at the bottom to keep the heat down for an exhausted mother comfortable in an otherwise airless room. It is a scene of serenity and safety, at a time when mother and baby are bonding. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • Young reader and his mum in the re-opened Carnegie Library on Herne Hill in south London which has opened its doors for the first time in almost 2 years, on 15th February 2018, in London, England. Closed by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in 2016, the library bequeathed by US philanthropist Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary. A gym that locals say they dont want or need has been installed in the listed basement and actual library space a fraction as before and its believed no qualified librarians will be present to administer it. Protesters also believe this community building will ultimately sold off by Lambeth council for luxury homes.

  • Mothers read to their children while protesting on the steps of Carnegie Library in Herne Hill, south London while occupiers remain inside the premises on day 5 of its occupation, 4th April 2016. The angry local community in the south London borough have occupied their important resource for learning and social hub for the weekend. After a long campaign by locals, Lambeth have gone ahead and closed the library's doors for the last time because they say, cuts to their budget mean millions must be saved. A gym will replace the working library and while some of the 20,000 books on shelves will remain, no librarians will be present to administer it.

  • A woman and child walk past an agency's board listing details of local properties to rent in the village of Bairat, on the West Bank of Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. Local businesses like this are dependent of the tourism industry and therefore badly affected by the downturn. According to the country's Ministry of Tourism, European visitors to Egypt is down by up to 80% in 2016 from the suspension of flights after the downing of the Russian airliner in Oct 2015. Euro-tourism accounts for 27% of the total flow and in total, tourism accounts for 11.3% of Egypt's GDP so communities like this are suffering economically, as a result.

  • A mother leads her kids past the exterior frontage of Carnegie Library in Herne Hill. Faced with the closure of its local library, Lambeth council plan to close the facility used by the community as part of austerity cuts, saying they will convert the building into a gym and privately-owned gentrified businesses - rather than a much-loved reading and learning resource. £12,600 was donated by the American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie to help build the library which opened in 1906. It is a fine example of Edwardian civic architecture, built with red Flettan bricks and terracotta, listed as Grade II in 1981.

  • Ageing, elderly parents sunbathe with a teenage daughter as the father oddly faces a brick wall while sat in his wheelchair. Looking bored with the family holiday, the young lady of about 18 years of age, sits on a concrete block, the highlight of a vacation at home in Britain, rather than a package trip in mainland Europe. The father has a tanned back but sits facing the brick wall in an eccentric, odd way of sunbathing. He is obviously disabled and can’t reach a beach via steps and perhaps this is why they have opted for this rather desolate corner of the seaside town resort.

  • A mother struggles to pull her young child over freshly fallen snow in a London street. With the child's tilted pushchair skating over compacted snow driven over many car tyres, the lady wears trainers that are themselves, ill-suited to walking though snow. Nearby vehicles are still covered in snow, having been left during this urban cold snap, something that Londoners are learning to cope with during times of economic council cuts when snow-clearing is not a spending priority.

  • A mother holds her young son up to show him a paddle steamer on Southend pier in the early nineteen sixties. At the end of the world's longest pier (1 and a quarter miles) the steamer docked for day-trippers to traditionally sail upstream from the Thames estuary at Southend-on-Sea to Gravesend, westward towards London on the River. It is clearly something that this boy sees rarely such is his interest in the small ship full of other holidaymakers.
