  • Smoke has been discovered in the basement of a shop in Market Street, Newport town centre, south Wales. We look down into a dark hole where two fire fighters - one of which is a senior officer, with two stripes on his helmet - have gone down a ladder to find the source of the smoke while wearing breathing apparatus (BA) as a precaution.  While looking up they discuss the possibilities of a seat of fire elsewhere so they talk to their colleagues who crouch over the open floor of the business who dialled 999 for the fire brigade to attend this incident. It is 1984 and the firemens' equipment looks dated, during an era when uniform material was not of a high fire-retardant specification and nor were their helmets which went through important design changes.

  • A giant billboard describes the more traditional China - when the main mode of transport was the bicycle and Hong Kong was still a British colony. The reality underneath is a megacity on a scale of a megapolis. Cars pass-by and consumer goods are on ads in the distance. .Shenzhen is a major city in the south of Southern China's Guangdong Province, situated immediately north of Hong Kong. The area became China's first?and one of the most successful?Special Economic Zones (SEZs). It currently also holds sub-provincial administrative status, with powers slightly less than a province. Shenzhen was  named in 2012 as one of the 13 emerging megalopolises in China with a population of 10.3 million.

With a foreground of China's history represented by a classical dynasty constructed in wood and the looming presence of the modern concrete city - the materials separated by thousands of years. We see some of the 50,000 ceramic figures and scenes from a period in Chinese history and further away, a modern corporate building in the metropolis contrasting with ancient, traditional architecture. Splendid China is an attraction at the Overseas Chinese Town, Shenzhen that has scaled down replicas of China's historical buildings, wonderful scenes and folk customs.

  • 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.

  • Active trading inside the London Stock Exchange in the City of London during the late-eighties. We see an aerial view of the 1980s-era options trading floor, looking  down from a high vantagepoint on to the traders as they go about their business. Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986 , this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower  became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading. Thus, in 2004, the House moved to a brand new headquarters in Paternoster Square, close to St Paul's Cathedral.

Two girls wearing identical pink costumes with hearts stand near the poster of the happy wartime couple. In the week near the anniversary date of May 8, 1945, when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Germany and peace was announced to tumultuous crowds across European cities, the British still go out of their way to honour those sacrificed and the realisation that peace was once again achieved. Street parties now – as they did in 1945 – played a large part in the country’s patriotic well-being.

  • Still in the era of being able to smoke inside public places, an elderly gentleman extinguishes his match by waving it in the air to blow out the flame, exhaling and listening to a fellow-drinker in a Newport pub in south Wales. Clouds of smoke can be seen as they waft against the back light that filters through the windows of this smoky bar in the town centre. Pints of bitter are on the table in front of them and ash trays with used butts. The scene is of an industrial town's pub for working men where language is sharp and there is talk of realities of hard lives.

The cost of the move is estimated to be in the region of £70 million and, if funding can be achieved, would be complete by 2021. There has been a market on this location since the Bartholomew Fair was established in 1133 by Augustinian friars.

  • A driver changes shoes in his van outside a closed section of the former Smithfield meat market that is awaiting future redevelopment, on 20th November 2019, at Smithfield in the City of London, England. In March 2015, the Museum of London revealed plans to vacate its Barbican site and move into the General Market Building. The cost of the move is estimated to be in the region of £70 million and, if funding can be achieved, would be complete by 2021. There has been a market on this location since the Bartholomew Fair was established in 1133 by Augustinian friars.

  • Against orange evening light, a forest of high-rise cranes stand upright at the masive Canary Wharf development on London's Docklands, England. It is early evening and the crane drivers have left for the day, the day's shift have stopped work before resuming tomorrow. The silhouetted lines of each structure stand out clearly against the skyline before the regeneration of this region of East London grows upward. 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.

  • Taking a break from the London Marathon, a young runner dressed as Superman emerges from a Portaloo after a quick toilet stop. Located at the London Fire Brigade's station on Lower Thames Street in City of London in the capital's historic financial district, their empty fire hose snakes across the ground. The young man wears trainers, a red skirt, a Super-hero top with the Superman emblem on his chest and he walks out of the portable convenience adjusting a green frizzy wig. Disgarded mineral water bottles have been thrown on the ground by other passing athletes but this is a theatrical pun, that Superman changes personality, name and powers when leaving a telephone box. Apart from the colour (color) of the toilet, the runner and the hose, the background is drab and overcast.  The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.
