  • With the words 'We will never accept a united Ireland' and another quote 'For God and Ulster' we see a detail of a political painting in a street off the Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This Loyalist mural may have been drawn by a paramilitary artist, whose handiwork is the crest of the protestant Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) the organisations behind many a sectarian action against neighbouring catholic supporters of the Irish republican Army (IRA). In loyalist areas, the red, white and blue of the British Union Jack is painted on kerbs, houses and railings to signify peoples’ allegiance to the crown, having historically followed the 17th century activities of King William of Orange against Catholics.

  • A Catholic confessional between a penitent parishioner and her local priest at St. Lawrence's Catholic church in Feltham, London. While kneeling to face the priest, the lady speaks in absolute confidence and secrecy to a screen beyond which the man listens and offers spiritual advice. A confessional is a small, enclosed booth used for the Sacrament of Penance, often called confession, or Reconciliation. Usually, the priest and penitent are in separate compartments and speak to each other through a grid or lattice and a crucifix hangs over the grille. But here, a screen grille inserted in it separates the two. The penitent may be able to see the priest through the screen, but the priest can usually never see the penitent - hearing instead of the person's sinful admissions.

  • A middle-aged man walks beneath the sign of the London Stock Exchange at their old premises known as the Tower.  The gent looks hunched as if with all the troubles of the world on his shoulders, a pessimistic view on the world. He makes a sorrowful figure with such a strong presence against the wall shadow. Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986, this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading. Thus, in 2004, the House moved to a brand new headquarters in Paternoster Square, close to St Paul's Cathedral.

Armed with heavy-duty semi-permanent marker pens, they lads are committing the crime of defacement and criminal damage to London Underground property, a persistent problem that costs the transport company network up to £3 million a year to remove. Partitions and glass are being scribbled on with their unique identity signatures used by kids of this age to leave as a mark of their presence, like animals instinctively leave a scent on a street corner. If caught, juvenile delinquents like these may escape with only a caution because of their age but older ones are prosecuted, though some times after leaving many thousands of tags across their neighbourhood.

  • A London youth is busy tagging on windows of a 90s London underground tube train, during an overland section of the capital’s rail system near Ladbroke Grove. Armed with heavy-duty semi-permanent marker pens, the lad is committing the crime of defacement and criminal damage to London Underground property, a persistent problem that costs the transport company network up to £3 million a year to remove. Partitions and glass are being scribbled on with their unique identity signatures used by kids of this age to leave as a mark of their presence, like animals instinctively leave a scent on a street corner. If caught, juvenile delinquents like these may escape with only a caution because of their age but older ones are prosecuted, though some times after leaving many thousands of tags across their neighbourhood.

  • Gathered on the Docklands Light Railway track, a group of police investigators and health and safety experts stand beneath the devastation and wreckage caused by the IRA’s docklands bomb on 10th February 1996. Office windows have been blown out and shattered glass lies everywhere making these workplaces unusable for many months afterwards. We see the men under the tall buildings looking tiny in comparison to the chaotic aftermath of this enormous explosion the day before. The bombing marked the end of a 17-month IRA ceasefire during which Irish, British and American leaders worked for a political solution to the troubles in Northern Ireland. 2 people were killed in the half-tonne lorry bomb blast which caused an estimated £85 million damage.

  • Employees of the former US giant ENRO corporation at the London offices in March 2000, stand at the doors to a lift (elevator) amid glass and polished steel. We are looking up at them from the ground floor as they wait for the lift to bring them down the building’s atrium. This is in the months before the company’s subsequent collapse with the loss of 22,000 people worldwide. Enron Corporation was an American energy company based in Houston, Texas. Before its bankruptcy in 2001, Enron was one of the world's leading electricity, natural gas, pulp and paper, and communications companies, with claimed revenues of nearly $101 billion in 2000. Oblivious to their employer’s troubles, the two men seem relaxed in this workplace which allowed them to work in casually dress, rather than in formal suits, an apparent hallmark of the company’s lax work ethic.

  • Two days after the Irish Republican Army (IRA) exploded a truck bomb on Bishopsgate, a main arterial road that travels north-south through London's financial area, City of London engineering officials examine the huge crater left by the terrorist device. We see debris around the hole with drainage and road material. It was said that Roman remains could be viewed at the bottom of the pit the bomb created. One person was killed when the one ton fertiliser bomb detonated directly outside the medieval St Ethelburga's church. Buildings up to 500 metres away were damaged, with one and a half million square feet (140,000 m²) of office space being affected and over 500 tonnes of glass broken. Costs of repairing the damage was estimated at £350 million. It was possibly the (IRA's) most successful military tactic since the start of the Troubles.

  • Two days after the Irish Republican Army (IRA) exploded a truck bomb on Bishopsgate, an optometrist's business remains open (like the eye illustration at the frontage) but it is boarded up with plywood with the words Open as Usual painted by hand.

  • As if about to be crunched underfoot, shattered glass from the windows of offices in the historic City of London side-street, stickers and notices for Access (Mastercard) and American Express (Amex) credit cards lie on the disaster-strewn pavement (sidewalk). This is some of the debris lying about after the huge Bishopsgate bomb on 24th April 1993, London's most expensive terrorist atrocity during the Provisional Irish Republican Army's (IRA) sustained bombings on the British mainland. Buildings up to 500 metres away were damaged, with one and a half million square feet (140,000 sq m) of office space being affected and over 500 tonnes of glass broken. Costs of repairing the damage was estimated at £350 million and was possibly the IRA's most successful military tactic since the start of what was called the Troubles from 1969 onwards.

  • A woman pays a busker playing to a large crowd on Regents Canal by tapping her card during the second coronavirus national lockdown on November 7th 2020 Hackney, East London, United Kingdom. The busker playing on the roof top of a canal boat draws a large crowd enjoying his music in-spite of current social distance rules. He stopped playing before getting into trouble with the police which did eventually break up the crowd. The UK Government introduced a 4 week lockdown from November 5th - December 2nd to combat the coronavirus outbreak. It is the third day of the national lockdown and restrictions mean that people are only allowed to meet outside, in pairs and only if keeping social distance. Only if they already live together or have formed a social bubble can they interact freely.
