  • During the Liverpool binmens' strike of 1991, litter and refuse bags collect in the back alleyway of back-to-back terraced houses, on 14th June 1991, in Liverpool, England. Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991, two young "Scouse' girls lean against a brick wall in a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool over that summer when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs existed in the 1990s after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • In a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England, we see many black bin-bags are left against industrial brick walls awaiting collection during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991.

  • A 5 year-old boy has his bike journey to nursery school disrupted by a vandalised car that lies on the side of a quiet path in Dulwich, south London. Perhaps stolen and certainly attacked then left on the side of this pedestrian thoroughfare where graffiti has been sprayed on the pavement and fences that back on to nearby homes. The alleyway is used by cyclists and commuters taking a quiet route into central London from this leafy suburb.

  • A cheeky young boy climbs over a back yard gate armed with a homemade bow and arrow in a back street in Liverpool, England. His homemade toy is the antithesis of what a wealthy lad might wish for in 21st century Britain when gadgets were all a kid wants and games outside have become rare and uncool. But this is still the early 1990s in times of recession when a make do and mend philosophy means families improvise with what they have and wealth is out of reach for many.

  • Clothing hanging on a washing line in a Pimlico housing estate in London. Reflecting a bygone era when the residents of inner-city tenements and housing estates hung out their washing on wash days (usually Mondays in the UK), relying on honesty and the community spirit to ensure their safety. Today we see this rarely apart from courtyards like this in west London. The walls are made fromclassic London stock bricks but the colours of a vibrant 21st century Britain are seen strung along the line.

  • Two young 'Scouse' girls sit on a telephone junction box and against a brick wall on which there is graffiti and childish scribbles. They are near a back alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. The older, taller girl is of Asian-descent and the younger is White British who hides her face with her top. Both are facing other activity in this inner-city street where there are 'back to back' houses in a poor area, South of the city centre and home to deprived families. Few of these back-to-backs exist after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats.

  • Two businessmen - one younger than the other, who may be his superior - pace through the Broadgate Estate during a break in the working day in the City of London, the capital's financial centre - otherwise called the Square Mile. Seen as they walk fast under a covered alleyway, the warm sun strikes their faces while they are deep in conversation - perhaps discussing a strategy while fetching a local coffee. Deep shadow allows us to focus in on their dark suits, their pink skin and the similarly orange colour of the strong vertical columns that form this urban architecture completed in the Bishopsgate development of the mid-1980s. Broadgate is a large, 32 acres (129,499 m2) office and retail estate in the City of London, owned by British Land and managed by Broadgate Estates.
