  • A wide interior landscape view of the beautiful seats, upper circle and arched roof of the Torbay Picture House. The manager stands in the balcony to show its scale. It was open in at least 1914, making it what is believed to be the oldest purpose-built cinema in Europe. In its early days it featured a 21-piece orchestra, with each member paid a guinea to perform. There are 375 seats: 271 in the stalls, 104 in the circle, plus three private boxes at the back seating an additional eight. Seat 2, Row 2 of the circle was the favourite seat of crime novelist Agatha Christie, who lived at Greenway House, near neighbouring Kingswear. The cinemas and theatres in her books are all reportedly based on the Torbay Picture House.

  • Now an overgrown, mildew-ridden farm shack in woodland in Seething, Norfolk England, this wall mural was once one of the barracks housing 3,000 young World War 2 bomber crews so was probably painted by a young aspiring artist and aviator with the 448th Bomb Group, a fleet of bombers based in England from November 1943 to July 1945. The picture depicts a confrontation between US Air Force B-24 Liberators, a P-51 Mustang and probably a German Dornier. There are hairline cracks in the plaster but the yellow hue of the hand-painted wall is largely intact despite damp conditions in the shed. There are however, other artistic details now faded. Picture from the 'Plane Pictures' project, a celebration of aviation aesthetics and flying culture, 100 years after the Wright brothers first 12 seconds/120 feet powered flight at Kitty Hawk,1903.

  • A tourist to Britain takes a photo with a modern handheld device near potraits by the Spanish romantic artist Francesco Goya, sponsored by Credit Suisse and advertised on a construction hoarding outside the National Portrait Gallery. The portraits are from the left: Countess-Duchess of Benavente; Bartolome Sureda y Miserol and The Dowager Marchioness of Villafranca. Paintings by Goya are exhibited inside the National Gallery next door and while a large grey hoarding is in place during works in Trafalgar Square, some of Goya's work is reproduced to viewers outside. Tourists to this central landmark in the capital stop and take photos and this selfie girl faces the Goya but seemingly ignores the high art in favour of a fleeting moment with her smartphone - symbolising the disposable and unthinking nature of tourism and travel.
