  • On its regular morning walk and wearing a matching red coat as its owner, a small dog exercises in Holmead Road in the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. As the mutt looks at the camera, the man waits for him to stop sniffing around before moving on. The pair stand on crunchy gravel, a deterrent for would-be thieves who might be tempted to this small town where middle-class residents live. Poundbury is the visionary model village that Charles, Prince of Wales sought to develop in 1993 as a successful and pioneering town near Dorchester, built on land owned by his own Duchy of Cornwall, challenging otherwise poor post-war trends in town planning and to some extent following the New Urbanism concept from the US except that the design influences are European..

  • A secure fence deters young children from entering and playing in the new (but as yet unused) playground in the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. The new swings and mini-roundabout can be seen through the wire in the foreground while the safe surfaces of wood-chip ensures the little ones are protected from falls on to hard surfaces.

  • Seen from behind as they stop at dotted give-way lines on this empty road junction, we see a strange perspective of deserted housing and empty roads, Jen West and her elderly wheelchair-bound mother Margaret - both residents of the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. As if they are pedestrians about cross a busy highway, it is an incongruous scene of irony.

  • Seen from an aerial viewpoint which gives a perspective of deserted housing and empty roads, Jill Parmeter plays post woman. She is a resident of the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. Delivering her own newsletter from door-to-door, she crosses Netherton Street and Tinten Lane to post her local news to residents and friends. The roads are empty of cars- nor is there anyone else to talk to. It is as if this community has vanished, leaving her alone.

  • Showing a Neighbourhood Watch sticker to discourage crime, a map and various by-laws, the Resident's Association Information Board is attached to a brick wall on Middlemarsh Street in the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. The wooden case needs treating and the glass needs wiping but there is a feeling of security and of a close and friendly community.

  • Emma and Martin are a young professional couple living in the experimental community village of Poundbury, Dorset, England. Sitting in their landscaped rear garden the married couple have their portrait taken against a high concrete wall that serves as their property's back boundary. The roofs of neighbouring homes appear over this partition and young tree saplings are fastened to a stake.

  • Ventilated hemispherical glasshouse Solardomes replicate global warming for plants with CO2 levels experiment
    solardomes01-05-06-1992.jpg
  • On a dark evening in the Welsh countryside eight ventilated hemispherical glasshouses called Solardomes have been 'painted' with gels and with coloured flash strobes while a torch has streaked whiter light in this scientific facility. Replicating climate change and its effects on plant-life, this experiment run by the University of Aberystwyth has run for 20 years, its research being invaluable to our understanding how rising levels of greenhouse gases (CO2) will affect photosynthesis and therefore plant food growth. By increasing the levels of such gasseous pollutants are we now more sure of how the biology in seminatural grasslands alters. Glowing red, the Solardomes sit like futuristic houses on another planet. Surrounding hills are dark on this evening but there is still detail in the fast-fading sky. ..

  • Pat Marden rreaches up to attend an arch of apples at the East Malling Research, Kent, England that provides science-based plant and food solutions to industry and Government. As a  Horticultural Technician Pat and her colleagues work for this organisation which is the principal UK provider of top-class horticultural research and development for the perennial crops sector. They have for example, genetically fingerprinted all 2300 apples and over 250 pears of the National Fruit Collection and used DNA markers called microsatellites to produce individual profiles for trees. Looking upwards we see Pat balanced on a tapering ladder to reach leaves and branches that form this feature in the laboratory gardens and which has eight similar arches.

  • In an office stock room, an archivist in British Airways' Customer Experiences Divition shows some conceptual design ideas for future Business Class cabin layouts, seen at the airline's corporate headquarters at Waterside at Harmondsworth near Heathrow Airport. Having listened to their passengers' ideas for what they'd like to experience in their long-haul cabins, BA regularly come up with ways to make the flight for premium users a reason to become loyal fare-payers. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). ..

  • The pedestrianised road junction at Carlton Avenue, Court Lane and Dulwich Village, has been blocked off to passing traffic with plant boxes at the corner as part of emergency Coronavirus pandemic policy to keep pedestrians safe at the expense of traffic, the first phase in an experimental road layout, on 30th June 2020, in London, England. Southwark was awarded £1.3 million by TfL from its Streetspace funding pot, which aims to rapidly transform London’s streets to help facilitate social distancing, cycling, and walking as lockdown eases. Dulwich Village low traffic neighbourhood was granted £23,000 for the first phase and £110,000 for the second. As part of its ‘our healthy streets’ initiative, the council had already earmarked the Village as an LTN.

  • As an early sun rises, the twin stacks of Richborough cooling Towers make silhouettes against the golden morning light. Now decommissioned, these industrial giants of the landscape are sending clouds of steam vapour into the air, in the county of Kent. Nature can be seen competing with 20th Century technology as solar energy is seen against the war power being generated. From 1962-1971 Richborough burned coal from collieries. In 1971 the station was converted to burn oil. Too costly to run plant underwent trials on an experimental fuel called Orimulsion, a cheap heavy oil and water-based emulsion produced form natural bitumen from Venezuela. Initial results or trials suggested it would make a cheap clean fuel alternative to oil but high sulphur emissions from the plant caused nearby Acid Rain and after local protest, the site has since been derelict.
