  • The shadows of tree branches across the boarded-up entrance of All Hallows, an inner-city church on Copperfield Street, on 30th January 2018, in the south London borough of Southwark, England. All Hallows Church Southwark was designed by George Gilbert Scott Junior and built in 1879-80 in Copperfield Street south of the river. The church suffered bomb damage on two occasions in WW2, in addition to being gutted by a landmine where it remained a relative ruin. It was not until 1957 that any attempt was made to salvage the bombed church, but due to the poor state of the surviving remains, the main structure and northern parts of the building had to be demolished.

  • 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.

  • Possessions and rubbish collects outside a repossessed Victorian terraced house in south London. In the foreground we see a For Sale sign strapped on the brick wall by local estate agents Burnet Ware & Graves in Herne Hill, Lambeth SE24. The front bay window has been sealed up with plyboard to stop squatters gaining entrance and the domestic remnants of evicted owners who have perhaps defaulted on their mortgage is thrown on the path - a scene of domestic poverty. As a result of the 1987 a stock market collapse, the UK economy experienced a downturn resulting in public services suffering a reduction, including the loss of owners' homes. The recession of the early 1990s describes the period of economic downturn affecting much of the world in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

  • 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. Debris has been swept up on the pavement awaiting collection but the scene is otherwise as it should. But one person was killed when the one-ton fertiliser bomb detonated directly outside the medieval St Ethelburga's church on 24th April 1993. Buildings up to 500 metres away were damaged, with one and a half million square feet (140,000 m) of office and retail 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.
