  • On the last day of trading, surrounded by empty shelves and shop fittings, sheets of closing down posters are seen lying on the shop floor in the Camberwell branch of Woolworths department store in London. In its 100th year, the iconic high street chain of affordable goods has welcomed generations of shoppers since its first outlet opened in 1909. In a period of financial turmoil when recession followed the credit crunch, Woolworths went into administration in November 2008 with debts of £385m Pounds. Its 815 nationwide outlets were forced to close and its 27,000 workers laid off.

  • A cafe offering breakfasts for £1.95 Pounds in central London has closed, a victim of the UK recession. Swirls of emulsion paint on the business's window creating abstract patterns on the glass. Around a recession-bled Britain, high-street businesses have been going bust in their thousands. Britain has now endured eight recessions since the Second World War. No two recessions are alike, and that applies to the current slowdown also. It has been caused by a shock to the availability of credit, a massive build up of debt. The number of people out of work currently stands at almost two million. Given the rate at which the economy is deteriorating this could easily be above three million. From a continuing piece of work about windows and urban messages, the picture is from the project of closed business windows: 'Bust - the Art of Recession'.

  • Filled with suits, jackets, trousers, and overcoats, the choices of mens' office worker clothes fill a shop front window belonging to Mr Byrite, a high-street clothes store chain in London England UK. Bargain sale prices for the items of clothing are all over the window display, offering discounts for £30, £40 or £60 and the mannequins used to wear these clothes either have bald-headed representations of men, or faceless white models wearing sun glasses. There is a sale of cheap items attracting young city men, far from traditional work attire, and more fashionable for the day.

  • 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.

  • People in Peckham, South London place positive messages about love of their community onto a boarded up window of a Poundland shop following the riots. In a week where mobs smashed and looted shops all over the capital, this is a sign of people reacting to send a message to those involved that they stand together with other communities against the unrest. Post-it notes are stuck to this impromptu wall, organised by a few local young people.

  • The women ponder the construction and value of ladies shoes that are on sale at a branch of Clarks shoes, in central London. The two females look the same facially and may be sisters, with similar glasses and hairstyles. Shopping together in the city where the busy atmosphere of shopaholics and busy consumers, this scene is frenzied and greedy retail spending and consumerism. The lady on the left has her tongue in her cheek and inspects the sole of a right shoe and its price on the heel. The manufacturer is Ecco, the small town Danish brand that is now available globally.

  • An analyst for the Enron Corporation, the American energy company based in Houston, Texas, stares transfixed into two computer monitors in the London office at Grosvenor Place, opposite the Queen's official residence, Buckingham Palace. Two Cross of St George flags perch to the tops of the screens. Informal dress was practised in this Enron company building before its eventual bankruptcy in late 2001, Enron employed around 21,000 people  and was one of the world's leading electricity, natural gas, pulp and paper, and communications companies, with claimed revenues of $111 billion in 2000. Fortune named Enron "America's Most Innovative Company" but has since become a popular symbol of willful corporate fraud and corruption.

  • Looking upwards towards the back of a number 8 red London bus which passes the pillars of the famous Bank of England building at Cornhill in the City Of London, the financial district, otherwise known as the Square Mile. We see the Bank rising as an imposing classical structure. Its columns are converging because of wide-angle lens-distortion, giving us the image of strength, stability and influence in UK economics. The bus is a traditional design called a Routemaster which has been in service on the capital's roads since 1954 and is nowadays only seen on heritage routes. Its distinctive rounded rear bodywork is easily recognisable as that classic British icon.

Writing on the glass with a marker pen the man has decided to tell us the original price of this item was #250 and he writes down a new, reduced value of #170, making us believe there are massive savings to be had on this home furnishing. Behind him is a garish pink sofa chair that was made in Egypt and imported to the UK capital where it and other pieces sit in bright sunshine, their colours looking tacky and cheap.

  • A Sun newspaper reader sits in the sunshine, below a statue in Threadneedle Street with the Bank of England to the left. We look upwards to the young man who wears a red shirt, all-typifying the Working Man in an English society still obsessed with class and status. This in front of the famous Bank of England in the City Of London, the financial district, otherwise known as the Square Mile. With such a wide-angle perspective the bank and its architecture looks powerful and influential in the UK's economy. There is a mixture of architectural eras here, with Sir John Soane's building legacy still a strong economic statement. The Sun is one of Britain's tabloid papers, selling over 3 million copies to mainly working class Britons, with a bias towards the young British male.
