  • Empty / blank billboards due to a lack of advertising spend have become a common sight under lockdown as seen here in Digbeth, as have the empty expanses on unused car park space on 15th April 2020 in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. Coronavirus or Covid-19 is a new respiratory illness that has not previously been seen in humans. While much or Europe has been placed into lockdown, the UK government has put in place more stringent rules as part of their long term strategy, and in particular social distancing.

  • A secure fence deters young children from entering and playing in the new (but as yet unused) playground in the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. The new swings and mini-roundabout can be seen through the wire in the foreground while the safe surfaces of wood-chip ensures the little ones are protected from falls on to hard surfaces. Poundbury is the visionary model village that Charles, Prince of Wales sought to develop in 1993 as a successful and pioneering town near Dorchester, built on land owned by his own Duchy of Cornwall, challenging otherwise poor post-war trends in town planning and to some extent following the New Urbanism concept from the US except that the design influences are European.

  • Low tide mud and silt with old wharves on the River Neckinger that once flowed from south London into the Thames at Bermindsey and once the inspiration for the end scenes of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, on 19th June 1994, in Bermindsey, London, England. During subsequent redevelopment, the warves became expensive riverside apartments, the waters once again freed from 20th century dereliction.

  • An abandoned Crazy Golf course lies broken and sad in a field at the northwestern seaside resort of Southport. It is a dark winter’s day and off-season when no tourists, let alone locals have ventured out to this otherwise popular summer resort for those away from the towns and cities such as nearby Liverpool. The word Golf is peeling and fading on a broken green fence and the course that was once freshly painted woodwork attracted families for an hour’s fun. The rapid growth of Southport largely coincided with the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era. Town attractions include Southport Pier, the second longest seaside pleasure pier in the British Isles. Now it is a sad indictment of the decline of many English towns and only the green grass looks fresh and healthy.

  • Stacked fish boxes on pier head at Fionnphort, Isle of Mull, Scotland. The names of different Scottish fisheries companies are written on the ends of each box that are in bright colours. The aquaculture industry in the Western Isles had its origins in trout and shellfish farming trails in the 1970s. Looking ahead, the best prospects for viable farming of shellfish may be seabed culture of higher value species such as scallops and, in the longer term, crustaceans such as lobster. Extensive cultivation on the seabed is potentially more cost-effective.

  • Stacked fishing Creels are stacked on the quayside at Fionnphort pier head, Isle of Mull, Scotland. The creel is a type of small wicker basket mainly used by anglers to hold fish or other prey. A creel is designed to function as an evaporative cooler when lined with moss and dipped into the creek in order to keep the catch chilled. Caught fish are inserted through a slot in the top which is held in place by a small leather strap.

  • A group of cruise ship passengers prepare for a morning scuba diving in the blue waters off Cancun, Gulf of Mexico. Having left their ship for a few hours excursion into the warm tropical sea, the men and women ready themselves before submerging below the floating platform. With masks and snorkels already in place, they take turns to sit on a step and take the plunge. Many look unfit and unused to diving – especially the fatter, older man in the foreground. But for many this holiday is a trip of a lifetime so they won’t want to miss such an opportunity. The skies are blue and they are miles from land and the worries of work and home. They are here for adventure and have the money to make it happen.

  • A football pitch and empty landscape of snowbound goal posts in wintry public park in south London. During a prolonged cold spell of bad weather, snow fell continuously on the capital on Sunday, allowing families the chance to enjoy the bleak conditions, here in Ruskin Park in the borough of Lambeth. The football goalpost, part of a soccer pitch used by local teams is otherwise unused as the weather forces local games to be cancelled before the grass beneath is again revealed. In the distance are Edwardian period houses beneath 100 year-old ash trees.

  • An unfinished and abandoned construction project in the town of Gogollos Vega, near Granada, Andalucia. All over Spain are building projects like this, left empty and unused, a sig of bad financial investment and land management where empty lots and landscapes have swallowed nature to be replaced by abandoned pavements, roads and superstructures. Here, we see a lone lamppost on the street's kerb, a green waste bin and an overgrown lot where weeds are thriving in this wilderness. In the background is a generic two-storey building left unfinished. As of 2010, it has a population of 2,068 inhabitants.

  • Seen from slightly behind, a young woman stands taking shelter from early evening rain in Goodge Street, London England. Holding a lit cigarette in her left hand and with an unused ashtray to her right, she is chatting with friends who are also enjoying a relaxing hour after work. Under the UK Government's recent laws on smoking in public places, the work mates are forced outside the pub to smoke on the street in a special area away from the anti-smoking people indoors. Lit by glowing red lights that also provide warmth on this chilly January night, the friends are comfortable in their own company.

With peeling paint and unused street furniture, se see that the corner business has closed, its windows covered in white emulsion paint to render it opaque.

  • Using a cloth, a waiter picks up a hot bowl of Butter Squash soup ready for a la carte service in the kitchens at the Vivre restaurant in Sofitel, a 605 bedroom, 27 suite and 45 meeting room accommodation and business hub Heathrow Airport's hub hotel attached to Terminal 5. A stack of clean and unused plates are ready for use on the hot plate that warms them  and we see the waiter leaning over in shadow, carefully taking hold of the bowl so that none of the liquid spills. The man is wearing a smart white shirt and is about to take the dish over to the customer's table. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009).

  • Locals from Cirencester in the county of Gloucestershire sit below the first world war memorial on St John Baptist <br />
church wall in the city centre. A mother and child sit on a bench below the names of those local men lost in the first war (AD1914-18) - the 200 names tell a story of the lost generation of youth, now replaced by the modern Brit, unused to self-sacrifice and loss on an unimaginable scale. The church is medieval, renowned for its perpendicular porch, fan vaults and merchants' tombs. The chancel is the oldest part of the church. Construction started around 1115.

  • 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.
