  • Electric and acoustic guitars on display in Martin & Co, one of the last music shops to stay in Denmark Street in London's famous Tin Pan Alley, a result of lease issues and rent hikes. In the window we see beautifully-designed instruments with the electric versions in the front row and the acoustics at the back. The American Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world since 1833. Tin Pan Alley has been at the heart of the music publishing and musical instruments, primarily guitars, percussion, keyboards and sheet music. Pop music stars and rock bands like Elton John and the Rolling Stones have had their careers launched from Denmark Street where those who controlled the music business had their offices.

  • A music shop has moved from Denmark Street in London's famous Tin Pan Alley, a result of lease issues and rent hikes. A sign stretches across the width of the shutters telling customers that business has moved away from this iconic street known in the music industry as the centre of music publishing and musical instruments, primarily guitars, percussion, keyboards and sheet music. Pop music stars and rock bands like Elton John and the Rolling Stones have had their careers launched from Denmark Street where those who controlled the music business had their offices. With the disappearance of these businesses, come cafes and a gentrification that will soon see Tin Pan Alley as quirky in name only.

  • An example of an early 17th-century cottage, built of stone and clom (a mixture of clay, horse hair, and cow dung). Originally thatched, it is now fitted with a corrugated tin roof to save having to maintain straw thatching.  Llanerchaeron House has several holiday cottages in the grounds, their energy saving changes include extra insulation and biomass boilers. Here is an early 17th-century Clom (mud constructed walls), stone and thatch cottage, nowadays with a corrugated tin roof. The National Trust has cut energy use in its Wales region by a massive 41% over just two years, demonstrating that even the most sensitive buildings can be made much more energy efficient. Secrets of success include a combination of efficiency measures, sustainable heating technologies and culture change. As well as cutting down on energy use it has also installed renewable sources of energy, including solar PV and hydro power.

One of the main problems for the police force, is overcoming corruption. Just before this photograph was taken a man pulled over and handed six rolls of toilet paper to the commander. The police hadn’t been paid for two months, so from the very smallest amounts to much larger sums, corruption is a way of getting by.<br />
<br />
 Experienced fixer, Zia Haidary elaborates: “If he had not been paid for two months, why is he still doing his job? He was fooling around, doing nothing then stopping people and cashing in on the bribes. My neighbour was arrested, he is a drug dealer. The police found 6kg of heroin and an AK47 in his house. The next day he is out of police custody -  How? It is corrupt.  The police here are uneducated boys who cannot find work. If you ask them to write their name, they can’t do it –they’re just really good at shooting.”
