  • A mother holds her 3 year-old son during summer time in the early 1960s. Looking up from a low angle, see see the mother and her young son in sunlight, made dark by underexposure of the film, recorded on a camera by the boy's father, an amateur photographer in 1964. The mast and rigging of a small boat can be seen behind so they must be at the seaside, near from where they live in Southend-on-Sea in Essex. The sky is a deep blue and the shapes on their heads almost merge with the background. It was recorded on a film camera by the boy's father, an amateur photographer in 1962. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.

  • A young female commuter reads a bus destination timetable sign at a flooded bus stop. Pausing to consider her travel options across the capital, the woman reads the routes, the bus numbers and their destinations. Wee see 1, the 171 and the 188 routes factoring each travel time to various stops and landmarks across the metropolis. The girl is of African or afro-Caribbean origin and is dressed smartly, possibly attending an interview at an unfamiliar place, using the network of single and in this case double-decker bus models seen here at a stop on Aldwych in the heart of the West End. In the background are the West End theatres whose productions attract drama fans from across the world.

  • A Metropolitan Police diver surfaces beneath the murky waters of the River Thames in front of the tall buildings of the City of London, on 13th June 1993, in London, England. Blowing bubbles, he exhales through his oxygenated mask and looks through the Plexiglass to the viewer. The Underwater and Confined Space Search Team UCSST, are part of the Marine Support Unit and based at Wapping. They also carry out searches in canals, ponds, lakes and reservoirs. It was set up as a full time unit in 1964. One of their most distressing jobs, however, is recovering bodies from the River. On average over 50 people lose their lives in the Thames each year and about 80% of these are by suicide usually by jumping off one of the many bridges that cross the Thames. After a body is recovered from the River it is taken to the mortuary at Wapping Police Station for identification.

The most northerly corner of this old building that caught fire in a private chapel on the first floor of the north-east wing. Spreading quickly, damaging St Georges Hall, which is often used for banquets. In all, one hundred rooms were damaged in the fire and intense public debate was sparked about whether the taxpayer should foot the repair bill, as the castle is owned by the British Government and not the Royal Family. But the Queen agreed to meet 70% of the costs, and opened Buckingham Palace to the public to generate extra funds. The £40m restoration took five years. Windsor is the largest inhabited castle in the world and partly dates to the time of the Norman King William the Conquerer.

The Trabant was the most common vehicle in East Germany - Like the Beetle in the West, its Peoples Car with a 595 cc, two-cylinder air-cooled engine. It had space for four, was compact, light and durable with its distinctive body shape constructed from Duroplast panels attached to a galvanized steel shell.

When the Berlin Wall eventually fell, Trabants coughed and spluttered onto West German roads for the first time.

  • The sign outside the Serpentine Swimming Club changing room, Hyde Park, London, UK. The Serpentine Lake is situated in Hyde Park, London’s largest central open space. The Serpentine Swimming Club was formed in 1864 ‘to promote the healthful habit of bathing in open water throughout the year’.  Its headquarters were beneath an old elm tree on the south side of the lake, a wooden bench for clothing being the only facility.  At this time London was undergoing rapid expansion and Hyde Park was now in the centre of a densely populated built up area and provided a place of relaxation to its urbanised masses. Now, the club has its own (somewhat spartan) changing facilities and members are  permitted by the Royal Parks to swim in the lake any morning before 09:30.  They race every Saturday morning throughout the year, regardless of the weather.
