  • Soon to arrive in the English port of Portsmouth from Cherbourg, the first of its routes, we see the SeaCat leaving its watery wake in the English Channel. Hoverspeed Great Britain is a 74 metre long, ocean-going catamaran built in 1990 by Incat for the UK company Hoverspeed. It is powered by four 20RK270 marine engines with a 7080 kW at 100% Maximum Continuous Rating (MCR). The engines were built at the Newton-le-Willows site which at the time was part of the Alstom group. Since then it has been bought by MAN B&W Germany and the site was closed and production transferred to nearby Mirrlees Blackstone site. Hoverspeed, formed in 1981 by the merger of Seaspeed and Hoverlloyd, was a ferry and hovercraft company that operated on the English Channel from 1981 until 2005.

  • Beneath an ugly breeze block concrete wall, a couple are enjoying their holiday in the English seaside town of Paignton, Devon. Sitting in striped deckchairs they are both curiously touching their own genital areas between their legs, perhaps both scratching an itch. The lady in sunglasses wearing a floral dress on the left looks guilty while her topless male partner appears more amused by the interruption. In this depressing corner of Paignton, also called the English Riviera, the grey construction behind them is a grim reminder of what it is often like to holiday in one's own home country where few exotic luxuries are found. Such squalor is unfortunately common around the UK and a reason why people take their vacations abroad. Even the grass below them is bare with weeds growing and soil at the foot of the wall.

  • 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.

Each are standing in order of size, from tallest (who holds a Tesco supermarket bag) to smallest and watch as two posh couples arrive for the day's racing dressed in showy dresses for the ladies and the men in formal top hat and tails. The posh lady in the front is in yellow and holds on to her straw hat on this windy summer day. Each wears their red Ascot badges allowing them entry to this exclusive royal event attended by the Royal Family and the hoi polloi of English society. We see the two sides of the class system but it is a humerous scene. There is good nature between the two groups with smiles exchanged with one couple but discomfort from those behind.

  • There is golden light across this narrow stretch of river, yellow flowers are on the bank and in late golden sunlight, two boys paddle upstream in their Indian canoe on the River Thames near the village of Shillingford, England. Lazily they plunge their paddles into the calm, clear blue waters of this majestic river whose source rises in deepest Gloucestershire to its industrial estuary in the English Channel 215 miles (346 km) away. But here in Oxfordshire, it is an idyllic scene of innocent childhood on calm rural waters in a beautiful and tranquil setting, on an English summer afternoon. The boys don't appear to be wearing life vests nor safety equipment but propel their craft forwards against the current with confidence.

  • Visitors to the ancient site of Stonehenge celebrate the Summer Solstice on the morning of June 21st - the longest day - by dancing in circles while holding hands. The Stonehenge site is a place of pilgrimage for neo-druids and those following pagan or neo-pagan beliefs. The midsummer sunrise began attracting modern visitors in 1870s. Today the stones are owned by English Heritage, the guardians of ancient and historical structures. Most years, substantial police and barriers prevent on-lookers from approaching the stones but on this occasion, revellers were allowed to party long after the early 4.15am sunrise. Stonehenge is a Neolithic and Bronze Age megalithic monument located near Amesbury in the English county of Wiltshire. Composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones it is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world. Archaeologists think that the standing stones were erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC and served as an outdoor observatory from where to watch the constellations. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986.

  • 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.

  • It is mid-day on the narrow stretch of river, green lilly pads float on its surface and in unbder a fierce sun overhead, three young men are lazily making their way to the viewer in a rowing boat on the River Thames near the village of Shillingford, England. The young male in the middle is the one rowing and he pulls on one oar to steer around an unseen obstacle in the absolutely calm, clear blue waters of this majestic river whose source rises in deepest Gloucestershire to its industrial estuary in the English Channel 215 miles (346 km) away. But here in Oxfordshire, we see an idyllic scene of adventure and peace on calm rural waters in a beautiful and tranquil setting, on an English midsummer day. 'Three men in  a Boat' published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford.

  • The empty auditorium of the London Coliseum, home of English National Opera (ENO), remains closed for performances during the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown, on 7th July 2020, in London, England. The UK’s theatre ticket revenue contributes £1.28bn to the nation’s economy, in which there are 290,000 jobs (70% are at risk) so the government has announced a financial rescue package for the Arts industry, a £1.15bn support for cultural organisations in England that is made up of £880m in grants and £270m of repayable loans. But theatre and opera companies such as ENO, whose last performance was The Marriage of Figaro on 14th March, will stay closed for the foreseeable future until there are changes in social distance and safety guidelines. The 2,395-seat Coliseum (1904) is a Baroque revival (Wrenaissance) style theatre, built as one of West End's largest and most luxurious variety theatres.

  • A cross made from English oak rises up into threatening grey English skies. With splits in its vertical and horizontal beams, the word Peace is written in lettering in the centre in an image of Christian values - a message for mankind, of humanity and goodwill to all Men. The wood is from the royal estate of Sandringham in Norfolk, presented in August 1987 by Queen Elizabeth II to mark the site of the high altar of the former St Benet's Abbey near Ludham on the Norfolk Broads.

  • A Beadle mace-bearer from the City of London holds a ceremonial mace in the crook of his left arm during the annual Lord"s Mayor's Show. We see only the arm and the golden mace as a close-up detail. The Beadle's role is now only symbolic, accompanying the City Adlermen as the lead the processions through the capital's ancient financial heart. A Beadle or bedel was a lay official of a church or synagogue who would usher, keep order, make reports, and assist in religious functions; or a minor official who carries out various civil, educational, or ceremonial duties. The term has Franco-English pre-renaissance origins, derived from the Vulgar Latin "bidellus" or "bedellus", rooted in words for "herald". It moved into Old English as a title given to an Anglo-Saxon officer who summoned householders to council.

  • A portrait of English poet, lecturer, actor and broadcaster Patrick J. Kavanagh. We see him in miffle-distance seated in his favourite armchair while at home in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, England. P J Kavanagh (born 6 January 1931) is the author of eight books of poems, an essayist and travel-writer, a novelist, and editor of the poems of Ivor Gurney; he has received the Cholmondely Award for Poetry, the Guardian Fiction Prize, and the Richard Hillary Prize for his memoir The Perfect Stranger. In addition to this literary career, he has been an actor, lecturer, journalist and broadcaster, all after serving in the Army during the Korean War, where he was wounded in action.

  • A lorry driver is handed his change after buying a burger at a fast food trailer in Grays, Essex England. The large man has parked his vehicle in a truck stop car park for an early evening food snack. The lady serving him works in an outside mobile burger bar that stands at this popular spot for working men as they pass-by this industrial corridor on the River Thames. Meanwhile, the serving woman's friend sits sunning himself and scratching his head beneath a film poster for the British comedy 'Run Fat Boy, Run' with actor Simon Pegg. Further in the distance, the English Cross of St George flutters and a line of electricity pylons take a transmission cables into central London, taking power into the capital. This south Essex town in the Thames Gateway, is the location for dramatic increases of new housing developments.

  • Electricity cables stretch into early morning mist above Swanscombe, Kent, London England. In the foreground we see a stack of discs called Insulators which stop the electricity carried in the conductor (the wires strung between each pylon) from jumping to the pylon and then down to earth. The cables disappear into the winter fog creating a Sci-Fi scene of 21st technology. Diagonally, the cables travel across the picture but they are part of a line of 542 pylons that have already crossed 110 miles of English countryside, carrying 40,000 Volts along this network of aluminium cables from Dungeness coal-fired power station to West Ham sub station in London's East End - to power the West End's high supply demands.

  • The empty auditorium of the London Coliseum, home of English National Opera (ENO), remains closed for performances during the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown, on 7th July 2020, in London, England. The UK’s theatre ticket revenue contributes £1.28bn to the nation’s economy, in which there are 290,000 jobs (70% are at risk) so the government has announced a financial rescue package for the Arts industry, a £1.15bn support for cultural organisations in England that is made up of £880m in grants and £270m of repayable loans. But theatre and opera companies such as ENO, whose last performance was The Marriage of Figaro on 14th March, will stay closed for the foreseeable future until there are changes in social distance and safety guidelines. The 2,395-seat Coliseum (1904) is a Baroque revival (Wrenaissance) style theatre, built as one of West End's largest and most luxurious variety theatres.
