  • In Windsor Great Park's Long Walk across the landscape a hose gallops during a 3-day cross-country event, held annually on Her Majesty the Queens's property, on 16th June 1994, in London, England. The Long Walk was commenced by Charles II from 1680-1685 by planting a double avenue of elm trees. The park was, for many centuries, the private hunting ground of Windsor Castle and dates primarily from the mid-13th century. Now largely open to the public, the parkland is a popular recreation area for residents of the western London suburbs. The Copper Horse is a statue marking the end of the Long Walk at Snow Hill in Windsor Great Park in the English county of Berkshire. The walk begins at the George IV Gateway at Windsor Castle. The Copper Horse is a statue of George III on horseback, and is said to represent George as an emperor in the Roman tradition riding without stirrups, along the lines of the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius.

  • An inspection by the Thames Water Utilities sewer cleaning team looks closely at Victorian-era brick wall linings of the Fleet River's Victorian-built storm sewer of Blackfriars, beneath the streets of the City of London, on 19th June 1994, in London, England. Discarded fats from restaurants congeal in sewer networks leading to blocked pipework. Sewer men shovel the deposits and bring them in vats to the surface. In the early 19th century the River Thames was practically an open sewer, with disastrous consequences for public health in London, including numerous cholera epidemics with the The Great Stink of 1858 a turning point. Intercepting sewers constructed between 1859 and 1865 were fed by 450 miles (720 km) of main sewers that in turn conveyed the contents of some 13,000 miles (21,000 km) of smaller local sewers using 318m bricks, 880,000 cubic yards of concrete and mortar and excavation of over 3.5m tonnes of earth.

  • A group of red uniformed meat market traders manhandle joints of pork from the back of a meat wagon at Macau's main meat market, on the Rua Sul do Mercado de Sao Domingos, on 10th August 1994, in Macau, China. The market is just off the Avenida de Almeida Ribeiro, in Central Macau. The men have on hooded red tunics that hide the bloodstains of dead animal carcasses, a very practical choice of colour.  The Macau Special Administrative Region is one of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China (PRC), along with Hong Kong. Administered by Portugal until 1999, it was the oldest European colony in China, dating back to the 16th century.

  • A portrait of English cartoonist, Glen Baxter whose surrealist, absurdist drawings are exhibited in the Eagle on 12th June 1994 in Clerkenwell, London, England. Born in Leeds in 1944, Baxter was trained at the Leeds College of Art. His images, and their corresponding captions, fuse art and language inspired by pulp fiction and adventure comics with intellectual jokes and references. Baxter's art has been collected in numerous books, and his work has appeared in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and The Independent on Sunday. His simple line-drawings often feature cowboys, gangsters, explorers, and schoolchildren, who utter incongruous intellectual statements regarding art and philosophy.

  • Rubbish and litter in the 1990s blocks the waterways of a canal, on 10th September 1994, in Stratford, east London, England. Algae and household pollution lies on the surface of the waters dug by navvies of the Victorian era when canals around Britain helped supply the industrial revolution with the raw ingredients to power the furnaces, mills and wharves of the transport age. This is a small outlet of the River Lea where the future 2012 Olympic Park would eventually be built - the waters once again freed from 20th century dereliction.

  • A traditional oyster fishing boat in the Fal Estuary, a method unchanged for 500 years, on 4th October 1994, in Falmouth, Cornwall, England. Oystermen have harvested on the River Fal in the same traditional and highly sustainable fashion, without the use of mechanical power, for more than five hundred years, being widely grown along the whole Cornish coast when the Romans invaded, and by 1602 they were being caught in much the same way as they are today, using thick, strong nets, called dredges. Byelaws banned oyster dredging by mechanical means, forcing local fishermen to rely on wind and tide in purpose-built, sail-powered Falmouth Working Boats. Although most oyster fishermen in Falmouth have other seasonal jobs, for the most experienced and committed fishermen oysters provide a decent year-round livelihood.

Lit by studio lighting with a universe of stars in the background, Crawford is a respected and versatile stand-up comic and TV personality in his own right  working for the BBC, Sky, Channel 4 and ITV. Ironically, warm-ups perform a preliminary act before a TV show is recorded to literally warm an audience into non-spontaneous laughter to help a comedy's atmosphere - albeit with the help of prompt signs like these. The first National Lottery Live show was at 19:00 on Saturday 19 November 1994.

  • As traffic zooms past, the art installation called 'House' stands alone on a now-empty and house-less East London street. Oddly, the contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property -- 193 Grove Road -- in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). Created by the artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) this is her best-known sculpture. It won her the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993. Here we see 'House' next to a lamp post which throws down it's light on a winter evening, before it was controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

  • During an August heatwave, the population of Brixton and many others from all over London, bask in the glorious weather at the Brockwell (Brixton)  Lido in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, South London. The Lido is a magnet for families, select groups, the young and old and represents an amalgam of humanity who enjoy the benefits of outdoor bathing and the friendship of meeting old friends and new acquaitances. We see a mass of people in late afternoon light with deep tans from the extended hot summer. There is little space left on the full pavement which retains its solar heat long after the sun has left the quadrangle of the lido's oblong design. They lay reading a newspaper or book, spread themselves on small towels or just chat to fellow-bathers. Swimmers are in the unheated water, others jump in or stand on the edge thinking about their next dive. It is a scene of chaotic fun for all ages and backgrounds. Brockwell Lido is a large, open air swimming pool in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London. It opened in July 1937, closed in 1990 and after a local campaign was re-opened in 1994. Brockwell Lido was designed by HA Rowbotham and TL Smithson of the London County Council's Parks Department to replace Brockwell Park bathing pond. It is now a Grade II listed building

The contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property -- 193 Grove Road -- in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). Created by the artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) this is her best-known sculpture. It won her the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993 before being controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

  • A 1992 portrait of a British Rail employee stands at the gate of a platform at Victoria station. Wearing the old uniform of that rail company. British Railways (BR), which from 1965 traded as British Rail, was the operator of most of the rail transport in Great Britain between 1948 and 1997. It was formed from the nationalisation of the "Big Four" British railway companies and lasted until the gradual privatisation of British Rail, in stages between 1994 and 1997. The British Rail "double arrow" logo is formed of two interlocked arrows showing the direction of travel on a double track railway and was nicknamed "the arrow of indecision". It is now employed as a generic symbol on street signs in Great Britain denoting railway stations.

  • A multi-ethnic crowd enjoys a heatwave in the Herne Hill lido, south London, England. A mixture of cultural backgrounds and ethnicities celebrate the warm weather together either in the waters or on the poolside concrete. The water is blue and the skin is either white, sunburned pink or black afro-Carribean. The laughter is genuine with these Londoners relishing this local open-air mecca for healthy sun worship. This lido was opened in July 1937, closed in 1990 and after a local campaign was re-opened in 1994. Brockwell Lido was designed by HA Rowbotham and TL Smithson of the London County Council's Parks Department to replace Brockwell Park bathing pond.

  • The new Channel Tunnel rail terminal under construction in the Kent countryside at Folkestone in 1989. A workman walks over part of the structure that will in the future, take the Eurostar and Shuttle trains through this portal underneath the town of Folkestone and on beneath the English Channel to the French coast. The technique is known as cut and cover. Eleven tunnel boring machines cut through chalk marl to construct two rail tunnels and a service tunnel. Tunnelling commenced in 1988, and the tunnel began operating in 1994. In 1985 prices, the total construction cost was £4.650 billion (equivalent to £11 billion today), an 80% cost overrun. At the peak of construction 15,000 people were employed with daily expenditure over £3 million. Ten workers were killed during construction between 1987 and 1993, most in the first few months of boring.

  • During an August heatwave, the population of Brixton and many others from all over London, bask in the glorious weather at the Brockwell (Brixton)  Lido in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, South London. The Lido is a magnet for families, select groups, the young and old and represents an amalgam of humanity who enjoy the benefits of outdoor bathing and the friendship of meeting old friends and new acquaitances. We see a mass of people in late afternoon light with deep tans from the extended hot summer. Swimmers are in the unheated water, others jump in or stand on the edge thinking about their next dive. It is a scene of chaotic fun for all ages and backgrounds. Brockwell Lido is a large, open air swimming pool in Brockwell Park, Herne Hill, London.

  • On the very last day of British rule over its Hong Kong colony, we see an elegant but headless life-size clothing mannequin seated on a chair on the shop floor of Chinese clothing brand Shanghai Tang. In the brand's flagship store, the last hours tick away before the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" on June 30, 1997. Midnight of that day signified the end of British rule and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. Shanghai Tang is an international clothing chain company, founded in 1994 by Hong Kong businessman David Tang Wing Cheung. This was the original store in Hong Kong's Pedder Street (in Central) providing the lead for 24 outlets worldwide.

  • An engineer working underground during construction of the Heathrow Express train project on behalf of Heathrow airport operator BAA (British Airport Authority), London England. While standing erect, he twists a high-tension tool that secures the concrete sleepers to the steel rails using a Pandrol Clip. The tunnel snakes its way into the distance behind him, lit by temporary lighting on the 5-mile tunnel wall. Its sections are reinforced concrete, shaped for the Heathrow Express electric Siemens-built trains that provide a direct link between Heathrow's terminals and Paddington station in central London. This is now the most expensive rail-mile fare in the UK at £15.50 for a 15-minute journey. In 1994 one tunnel collapsed without warning in one of the most catastrophic civil engineering disasters in British history.

The Lido is a magnet for families, select groups, the young and old and represents an amalgam of humanity who enjoy the benefits of outdoor bathing and the friendship of meeting old friends and new acquaitances. We see two men of Afro-carribean origin who have a corner of the Lido to themselves. One wears a towel wrapped around his lower-body and sits, arms folded with a look of territorial superiority while the other applies sun lotion to his leg. There is little space left on the full pavement which retains its solar heat long after the sun has left the quadrangle of the lido's oblong design but their colourful towels and possessions are spread out on the paving stones along with childrens' toys including an Action Man toy soldier who is also tanning himself.

  • Seen from a low angle at the side of the track, near where grass and daisies grow, a speeding Eurostar TGV train hurtles towards the viewer, blurring as it comes towards us. This is the Kent countryside, otherwise known as the fertile Garden of England, and the route for high-speed trains that ply back and forth between western Europe and London St Pancras. This international passenger service was made possible by the completion of the Channel Tunnel in 1994 operating eighteen-carriage Class 373 trains which run at up to 300 kilometres per hour (186 mph) on a network of high-speed lines. Eurostar is operated by the national railway companies of France and Belguim, SNCF and SNCB, and by Eurostar (UK) Ltd (EUKL), a subsidiary of London and Continental Railways (LCR) which in turn also owns the high-speed infrastructure and stations on the British side.

  • A portrait of Britain's first lady deacon, Christine Farrington at Salisbury Cathedral. Standing outside the grand architecture of this fine English structure. Deacon is a ministry in the Christian Church that is generally associated with service of some kind, but which varies among theological and denominational traditions. In many traditions the "diaconate", the term for a deacon's office, is a clerical office; in others it is for laity. The word "deacon" is derived from the Greek word diakonos, standard ancient Greek for "servant", "waiting-man", "minister" or "messenger". Salisbury Cathedral, formally known as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in Salisbury, England, and is considered one of the leading examples of Early English architecture. The main body was completed in only 38 years, from 1220 to 1258.

  • Meat porters drag old carts laden with freshly-butchered meat in Smithfield market. One man's coat reveals blood stains and one calls to the other as they walk. Meat has been bought and sold at Smithfield for over 800 years, making it one of the oldest markets in London. A livestock market occupied the site as early as the 10th century. Approximately 120,000 tons of produce pass through the market each year. As well as meat and poultry, products such as cheese, pies, and other delicatessen goods are available. Buyers including butchers, restaurateurs and caterers are able see the goods for themselves and drive away with what they have bought.

  • RAF Fylingdales is a British Royal Air Force station high on Snod Hill in the North York Moors, England. Before their demolition by Ministry of Defence contractors this early attack warning Cold War facility, consisted of three 40-metre-diameter 'golfballs' or geodesic domes (radomes) containing mechanically steered radar. They became a local tourist attraction and coach tours drove past the site listening to the interference on radios emitted by the radomes. They have since been replaced by the current tetrahedron ('pyramid') structure and is still a secret location. Its Motto is "Vigilamus" ("We are watching"). It is now a radar base and part of the United States-controlled Ballistic Missile Early Warning System (BMEWS)...

  • Someone's pet spaniel is enjoying the smell of another dog's faeces that has been deposited on the pavement at Newbiggin-by-the-sea in Northumberland, northern England. Using its wet nose to test its acute sense of smell, the spaniel shows great curiosity in another animals crap that has been left by the other animal's owner, rather than be collected and placed in a dog poo receptacle. The irony is that there is graffiti on the sea wall of this seaside town. The mis-spelled words 'England For Ever' have been sprayed in aerosol on the wall and we see someone's idea of a utopian England and another's lowered standards where the fouling of a public pavement is seen as acceptable.

A tour rep encourages the men to push their inibitions to the limit but with a reputation for 'Sun, Sand and Sex' the 18-30 holiday formula has been labelled as parents' worth nightmare. From from the company's web site however the fantasy sounds less riotous: "There comes a time in life when you need to do it for yourself. A time to break free and break the mould. To explore, leave the map at home and find yourself. To find that one moment and make it last a lifetime. That time is now. Sunrise to sunset. Sunset to sunrise. This is the time of your life. Love every single second of it."

  • A detail of freshly-picked English oysters opened using a 'shucker' knife. English Falmouth Estuary oysters have become highly sought-after around European restaurants and we see a freshly-caught specimen still in its shell after being landed from a traditional Falmouth antique working sail boat (fishing without mechanical power is a rule on this local fishery) that still dredge harvested oysters from the river bed using traditional methods unchanged since Victorian times. The fisherman's muddy fingers can be seen lifting (or shuck) the crustacean slightly from the shell with an old oyster knife to display this wild, native Fal oyster which is known for its distinctive sweet, fresh and delicate flavour.

The solar power gathers in strength and intensity as it climbs from below the horizon and behind City buildings, its circular disc a flaming yellow which is soon to turn a deeper hue over the capital's orange skies at dawn. The tidal river is calm with only moored barges in the middle, used to secure other boats to their sides. The City wakes before another day of trading in the financial, banking and insurance institutions. The dome of St Paul's Cathedral is centre to the skyline.
