  • Shops in the town centre at Southend-on-sea, Essex. The town could be described as run down as while there are some signs of affluence, these are few and far between. The predominant atmosphere is quite rough feeling and quite poor. Southend is a seaside resort that is very popular with people from the East side of London due to it's close proximity, just an hour away by train along the Thames Gateway. With the decline of seaside resorts, from the 1960s much of the centre was developed for commerce and many of the original features were destroyed through redevelopment or neglect.

  • A young boy watches the sweeping arms of a Penny push/fall game in the amusement arcade at Weston-super-Mare's grand pier. Waiting for some coins to be caught in the log-jam and to fall into the prize tray below, the lad seems spellbound by the potential luck and possibilities although the odds are against him. Images of 1970s dancers, including John Travolta, strut their stuff at the disco. 2p pennies stack up until the moment when they topple over and spill out.

  • March 26 was the day of the March for the Alternative, an anti-cut demonstration organised by the TUC, which drew 3-500.000 people from all over Britain. Some carried shields made of giant one penny pieces as symbolic protecting.

  • Two pensioners and friends in Stratford, East London. June Sheridan (right) and Margaret Pavey (left) both live in the East End of Londno, and have done all their lives. June says "It's horrible, everything is changing and it lways affects the poor not the rich. Everything is going up in price, there is nothiing that isn't £3-8. Where would I be without my daughter to help, and buy me lunch. If I didn't have her, I'd have to move away." Margaret says "Every time you go to the shops everyting has gone up, and not just by 1 or 2 pence, but 10p, 50p. Where do they think pensioners get their money from? Nothing they spend is on us, it's just the Olympics an we won't even be able to go." This is a relatively poor area of London, but in recent years has seen much regeneration, the construction of a major transport hub and various shopping complexes. Stratford is adjacent to the London Olympic Park and is currently experiencing regeneration and expansion linked to the 2012 Summer Olympics. (Photo by Mike Kemp/For The Washington Post)

  • A businessman reads The Times newspaper in the early 90s when the News International title was a broadsheet - before it went to a tabloid format. The headline refers to a British Rail axing of 5,000 jobs, dated Friday 20th November 1992 when it cost just 45 pence. The Times is a British daily national newspaper, first published in London in 1785 under the title The Daily Universal Register (it became The Times on 1 January 1788). The Times and its sister paper The Sunday Times (founded in 1821) are published by Times Newspapers, since 1981 a subsidiary of News International, itself wholly owned by the News Corporation group headed by Rupert Murdoch.

  • Tacky Christmas tourist trinkets on sale outside a discount shop in New Oxford Street in central London. Sold for a Pound £1 or for 50 pence are the products made to entice the public into spending their money on sub-standard goods. We see mugs and pens etc. in red plastic bins beneath a red canopy.

  • A father and his young daughter ride a merry-go-round on the sea front at Southport, Merseyside, northern England. Hanging on to the carousel's horse, the little girl grips her dad’s hand as they whiz along enjoying each other’s company.  A background sign tells riders to pay 50 pence per person on each carousel horse which is a brightly-coloured animal looking as traditional as possible. The background blurs but we see the bright lights above the pier's amusement arcade entrance (the second longest pier in the UK) but it is a chilly winter, an off-season day with few people about on this chilly day nearing Christmas.

  • Two queens and one princess, members of the British royal family are depicted on a postcard rack in central London.  On the left is Queen Elizabeth (known as the Queen Mother (born Bowes-Lyon) who died at the age of 101 in 2002. Her daughter is the present Queen Elizabeth the second and to her right is Princess Diana, the Princess of Wales who died tragically in Paris in 1997. The three are seen on sale outside a tourist shop in Whitehall in the borough of Westminster where revenue-earning foreign holidaymakers frequent to see major landmark sites such as Parliament and Buckingham Palace. While the Queen wears a formal crown, the Princess is with a tiara and all three are on sale for 30 pence (£0.3)

  • The England footballer Wayne Rooney's faces are seen wrapped up in polythene, sold outside a shop near St. Paul's Cathedral where merchandise accessories are being sold off cheap outside sports shop in City of London. It is a few days after the England team's defeat by Germany in the quarter-finals of the South African World Cup and while English flags are stored away in time for the next St. George's Day when nationalism and patriotic emotions are showed on homes, in streets and on working mans’ vans, these Rooney face masks are now seen as passé, unsellable at current prices so their value has been reduced from just 10 pence. Golden boy Rooney is still a commodity that Manchester United earn millions from – their merchandising opportunities reach a fever levels at times of premiership and international matches.
