  • A golden sign hangs outside the Scottish Widows pension institution in Lombard Street in the heart of London's financial heart, the City of London.

Its product range includes life assurance, pensions, investments and savings. The company has been providing financial services to the UK market since 1815 and is the most trusted life, pensions and investment provider in the UK

  • The hands and fingers of an anonymous customer is seen through a city Post Office window, behind a pension savings ad. Three faces of models used for this ad campaign by the Post Office peer out on to the street, telling the public of ways to invest in their futures. A single hand appears below in the window, surrounded by a moist stamp pad, biro and the remnants of various postal litter.

  • A lady walks away with an open wallet after taking cash from her local London branch of the Abbey National Building Society in 1989. With her finger almost touching the keypad, the lady and her companion are withdrawing cash from this hole in the wall after investing their funds in this branch of Britain's building society. Abbey National plc was a UK-based bank and former building society, which latterly traded under the Abbey brand name. It became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Spanish Santander Group in 2004, and was combined with the savings business of the former Bradford & Bingley in January 2010 to form Santander UK plc. Before the takeover, it was a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.

  • At the height of financial uncertainty, we see from a low pavement angle investors queueing outside the Maddox Street branch of the troubled Northern Rock Bank, off Regent Street, Mayfair, in September 2007. Their hard-earned savings appear to be in jeopardy after the bank announced an emergency loan from the Bank of England. Despite reassurances from officials who insisted that the Bank which has £113bn in assets, was not in danger of going bust, concerned men and women wait in line, some with their faces on view and reading newspapers or more commonly, wishing to remain anonymous and keeping their backs to reporters and cameras. The rush of customers demanding their investments almost spelled the demise of the bank with over £2bn removed from accounts in a few days. Northern Rock struggled since money markets seized up over the summer.

  • A lady walks away with an open wallet after taking cash from her local London branch of the Abbey National Building Society. While holding a red umbrella that hides her face, the woman walks away from the cash dispenser and we can see her purse or wallet, open for others to view. The red from her brolley and that of the dispenser’s facia are matching hues so the dominant colour makes the picture’s theme. Cash dispensers in the UK are also called ‘holes in the wall’ and dispense bank notes to high street consumers on demand. The downside is often compromised security when people are unaware of those watching alongside to see PIN numbers and how much money is being taken out.

  • Rosettes and sheep competition mementoes adorn the wall and mantlepiece of champion breeder Vic Bull's crofting bungalow home overlooking Loch Bay, Waternish, Isle of Skye Scotland. Afternoon sunlight pours through a front window into his living room which serves as a shrine to the Sheep. Having already refused a half million Pounds for his house and spectacular view high up on a hill, he prefers to breed his beloved Blackface sheep which he shows only twice a year at local competitions in the Dunvegan area and the prizes and awards are proof of his success. Vic now lives alone rearing his livestock with four sheepdogs for training and company. Image taken for the 'UK at Home' book project published 2008.

  • A young family walk gloomily past property Sold signs in a street at Grays, Essex England. Passing the prominent signs that bear the name of Quirk Deakin, a local estate agent in the industrial towns of south Essex and the Thames Gateway, is the location for dramatic increases of new housing developments. Both the parents and their daughter look depressed in this time of economic recession, when families are having their homes repossessed after defaulting on mortgage repayments. It is a bright summer day in Grays, east of the capital, just outside of the M25 orbital motorway and on the Thames river.

  • Looking up towards majestically tall Ash trees and blue skies, the sun glints off a window pane in an Edwardian age semi-detached house on Ruskin Park, Denmark Hill, SE24 (its post code) South London England. It is a beauitiful winter afternoon in this inner-city suburban district of Britain's capital, approximately 5 miles south from the River Thames. A couple are walking their dogs past an elegant line of period homes that were completed in 1908, the age of innovative building in the new 20th Century. The properties overlook the borough park named after John Ruskin, the renowned artist and commentator who lived in nearby Herne Hill. It looks an affluent area, a prosperous location to invest in a mortgage in uncertain times with market prices falling during the credit crunch and recession.

  • Decorator and part-time chimney sweep Alan Squires prepares to apply another coat of emulsion paint to the exterior walls of a cottage called Burnside in the tiny hamlet of Hallin, Waternish, on the Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. With his shadow looming large on the newly-painted off-white pebbledash that is rendered a warm orange in the low sunlight, Alan walks with his long roller after a day's decorating in this beautiful place near Dunvegan. Alan is an Englishman who came to Skye in 1987 for the community spirit. "everybody knows everybody' he says though admits that southerners come from the south in search of an idyllic lifestyle but harsh winters often send them back to warmer climates. Alain's fresh paint therefore needs to dry before winter weather blows in from the Atlantic. Image taken for the 'UK at Home' book project published 2008.

  • Across the calm waters of a Scottish bay, isolated houses and crofts sit before the dramatic Cuillin Mountains that rise up in the distance on the Isle of Skye, Scotland. Sunlight from unusually fine weather spreads across this beautiful landscape seen from the road to Dunvegan, near the hamlet of Harlosh. Farming practices have changed irreversably in a generation and many southerners have English accents rather than that of native Scots islanders as city dwellers from the far south seek an alternative to urban lifestyles. The weather can have adverse effects on those unprepared for such wild conditions, especially during harsh winters when violent storms batter these Atlantic coasts. But old crofts have been converted to bed and breakfast homes, catering for tourist visitors who adore this form of idyllic escapism.

  • The last light of day fades on the still waters of Sgeir Nam Biast, a bay overlooking Waternish Headland, near Dunvegan, north-west Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. A solitary light bulb glows from an upstairs room in this isolated cottage across the calm lake. The weather is perfect but unusual for one of the wildest parts of Britain. Farming practices have changed irreversably in a generation and many residents have English accents rather than that of native Scots islanders as city dwellers from the far south seek an alternative to urban lifestyles.

  • Barbara Christie, 58, sits alone in her conservatory at Swordale House overlooking Beinn Na Caillich (The Hill of the Old Woman) mountain. It is nearly dark at this northern latitude and it looks cosy inside this house with its warm and inviting lights. Barbara's father built this family home and she has lived in this house all her life apart from when studying in Edinburgh many years ago. It sits on a tiny road near Broadford on the Isle of Skye, beneath the magnificent hill whose myth goes back to a Norse Princess saga. Barbara sits in the more recent addition to the house, a conservatory that she enjoys sitting and reading away from her Summer Bed and Breakfast guests.

  • In the privacy of her own country home, an elderly French lady is about to have eye-drops administered by her local doctor in the Vosges town of Ban de Laveline. Holding her eyelids up with a thumb in preparation of giving the woman the necessary medicine, the young health professional reaches for his equipment and the lady is left looking rather startled and uncomfortable for a few moments as her eye stares wildly. We are in her small cottage on the outskirts of town and the doctor is making his rounds to various patients unable to attend his daily surgery. The lady wears a colourful apron, typical of French working people, and is possibly in her seventies, living alone with only kind neighbours to ensure her safety. <br />

The lady might be old and frail but her spirit is such that she still finds the time to integrate into community life and remains active despite her years.

  • In a field at the town of Boofzheim in the eastern French Alsace region, an elderly Frenchman harvests some of his self-grown carrots crop. Having left his old bicycle standing at the kerb of a narrow access road and in front of a field full of maturing maize, he bends down with much effort to dig in his fork or spade into the rich Alsace earth and lift out his vegetables to take home. This landscape is typically French or German (Alsace borders the western side of Germany and saw much tragic action in WW2) where maize is a nutritious foodstuff for cattle and also for ducks and geese who are force-fed it locally in the making of fois gras and pate.

Someone to share his concerns with and to seek advice from this terminal condition. It is a bright summer morning but even with the sun, it's a gloomy part of the house in which he lives alone.
