  • City workers walk beneath the girders of Thatcherite architecture, on 16th February 2017, at Broadgate in the City of London, England.

  • In the shadow of 1 Canada Square, the iconic Canary Wharf tower in London's Docklands stands as an icon for Thatcherite Britain when the good times, prosperity and economic upturns seemed unshakeable. Four work colleagues stand under a hot lunchtime sun during a summer heatwave. In their shirtsleeves the men each hold pints of refreshing lager, all having removed their dark jackets to enjoy the company of a flirtatious female who appears to be flirting with an older male companion. The sky is blue and the five are care-free to any future economic uncertainty.

  • A businessman wearing a light summer suit and carrying a briefcase walks away in the opposite direction to Canary Wharf tower which is seen over his shoulder from across a tree-lined Brockwell Park in South London, approximately 7.5 miles away. The flattened-perspective is because of an extremely long telephoto lens making it seem closer than it is in reality. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape.

  • Two young men dressed in office suits casually stuff their lunches during a hot lunchtime break in the Broadgate Estate in the City of London. Both with legs across knees, the lads in their 20s sit on a bench beneath a tree alongside the statue of a traditional gardener, slightly bent and equipped with hoe and wearing a wastecoat, hobnailed boots and flat cap, an iconic salt-of-the-earth workman. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-exhausted man whose life has been spent working the honest land.  The English social divide is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus the youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.

  • Canary Wharf tower is seen from below at street level in London Docklands, England. The sun glints off one corner of the highly-reflective surface of the building underexposing the mottled sky to make the scene gloomy and slightly threatening. It also looks aspirational for any corpoiration to have its headquarters in this iconic skyscraper tower. It thrusts itself in from the bottom left corner into the centre of the picture with imposing dominance as if pointing towards Heaven like a church spire. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape.

  • The One Canada Square is seen soon after its completion in the early-1990s. Seen from a low angle inside the dome of Cabot Square shopping mall, we see the tall building rising above us. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape. One Canada Square (often incorrectly called Canary Wharf, after its location) is a skyscraper in Canary Wharf, London. It was the tallest building in the United Kingdom from 1990 to 2010, standing at 235 metres (770 ft) above ground level and containing 50 storeys.

  • Margaret Thatcher returns to the Conservative conference a year after being deposed by her own party colleagues, Blackpool.  .
    margaret_thatcher08-03-09-2007.jpg
  • Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher is seen giving a party speech at the 1991 Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool, Lancashire, a full year after being removed by her own colleagues the previous November. Her softer and perhaps pensive expression contrasts with her reputation of the Iron Lady with a gaze that made her opponents uncomfortable. She seems distant here, perhaps recalling her great days in office when she was a powerful figure in world politics. She is wearing the same favourite two-tone blue suit with wide shoulders and a pearl ear-rings as she wore the year before when still in office. The ambient stage lights emphasize the blonde highlights in her hair.

  • Corporate offices perspective in the City of London. Seen from a distance, away from this location on the northern boundary of the old part of London, we see the steel structure built in the 1980s at the height of Thatcher's building boom, the Broadgate development within the ancient boundary of the capital's Square Mile, it's financial district founded by the Romans in AD43.

  • As two city office workers walk briskly towards the viewer, we also see an artwork, a series of statues of commuting people are also striding as one, making their homeward journeys. The two gentlemen however appear to be taking a lunchtime break from their desk jobs and carrying sports holdalls with the 90s sports brand Head, are probably on their way to any number of city-based gyms. They look successful and wealthy, products of a healthy economy and a business culture of bonuses and high prospects of affluence whereas the statues lend a feeing of suppression and the treadmill of their anonymous daily lives as if they were part of some Orwellian society. .

  • Canary Wharf tower seen from below, London Docklands, East London England. A pedestrian light shows both green for walk and red for don't walk while a street light that has just been illuminated starts to glow on the right. Blue light of the late day and an overcast sky makes the scene gloomy and slightly threatening. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape.

  • Masked protesters of western leaders Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher kiss at a 1986 demonstration by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) against the hosting by the UK of US nuclear cruise missiles on British soil. Amid a chaotic scene of protest and intimidating police presence, the two unidentified people touch lips outside the US embassy (background) in London’s Grosvenor Square. In the Cold War era, both world leaders Reagan and Thatcher symbolised the special relationship between the US and the UK, who shared a common ideology for conquering the threats of Communist domination. Their answer was for the proliferation of atomic arsenals in order to maintain world stability and public protest was ever-present outside US interests and especially at the many RAF air bases that were leased to the US Air Force from where bombers flew.

  • Seen through the window of Coates Wine Bar which contains small square patterns of frosted glass, the arched structure of Broadgate offices in the City of London, appears beyond. Trees whose leaves are turning into autumnal colour can also be seen blending into the landscape.  Broadgate is a vast estate of office buildings developed in the Thatcher years, sitting astride the redeveloped Liverpool Street mainline station. We see the classic architectural feature that gives strength to large buildings - the load-bearing arch.

  • As a young office worker sleeps incongruously on a marble pavement, a street sweeper nearby brushes away litter with a small dustpan. The manual labourer wears blue overalls, yellow gloves and keys in his back pocket while the man in a wastecoat and smart trousers and polished slip-on shoes appears to be fast asleep, his fingers across his chest. This scene suggests the social divisions of the working man: Of the young, educated post-war generation whose opportunities have afforded them a faster lifestyle, far removed from that of the physically-demanding job of a man whose life has been spent cleaning and sweeping. English social differences is clearly represented here as the harshness of the manual labourer versus a lazy youth of today, seen in the middle of the modern city.

  • A wide dusk landscape of the development in the City of London, known as Broadgate is a vast estate of corporate buildings developed in the Thatcher years, sitting astride the redeveloped Liverpool Street mainline station. Broadgate is a large, 32-acre (13 ha) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and the Blackstone Group and managed by Broadgate Estates. The original developer was Rosehaugh: it was built by a Bovis / Tarmac Construction joint venture and was the largest office development in London until the arrival of Canary Wharf in the early 1990s. The modern and mainly-pedestrianised development is located on the original site of Broad Street station (closed in 1986) and beside and above the railway approaches into Liverpool Street station.

  • A young trader in currencies leans back in his chair on the currency trading floor of Barclays Bank in the City of London, England, UK. Easing back during the stress of a day when the money markets have been volatile, this young man has the responsibilities of millions of Pounds Sterling to trade and value. He has old technology at his disposal, in the decade when technology made a big impression on the workplace but before the arrival of the internet and e-mail. Communication was therefore slow and unreliable although banks like Barclays who traded money across the world were skilled in migrating information across time-zones.

  • Canary Wharf tower seen through a telephoto lens from across West India Docks, London Docklands, East London England. We see dozens of office windows illuminated by fragmented solar light from a rising sun. Office windows reflect that golden orange light which underexposes the darkened sky behind and the remainder of the building. Canary Wharf is the product of the 1980s  financial boom when during the office of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, huge building projects such as the Docklands consortium saw vast changes in London's landscape.

  • A middle-aged woman walks along a gloomy street in Toxteth, Liverpool, England. Passing a boarded-up greengrocer that probably once served the local community, the lady strides past its sealed window and the name of its past owner, obviously proud of her business' quality in an otherwise run-down area. Toxteth saw serious rioting in 1981 and the legacy of social-deprivation ever since meant a breakdown of law and order.  Used as the epitome of poor inner-city Britain, it is located to the south of the city and is synonymous with social issues, degradation and poverty with some of the most underprivileged families in the UK. Recently many streets in the worst areas have been demolished including a threat to Beatle Ringo Starr's childhood home.

She is wearing a favourite two-tone blue suit with wide shoulders and a pearl ear-rings. The ambient stage lights emphasize the blonde highlights in her hair.

  • The sun rises on a red sky in London's Docklands during a period of regeneration. The solar power gathers in strength and intensity as it climbs from below the horizon and behind buildings, its circular disc a flaming yellow which is soon to turn a deeper hue over the capital's red skies. A crane from a nearby construction project tells about the regeneration of London's East End during the early 1990s when the Thatcherite heyday in house and office building accelerated the demand for homes and headquarters during the economic boom.
