  • A mother holds her young son up to show him a paddle steamer on Southend pier in the early nineteen sixties.

  • A portrait of a mother in her 41st year has been gathering heather in handfuls and holds up her young child who grins towards his father who is taking the picture at a park near the Essex seaside town of Southend. It is the summer of 1960 and the mum's dress is styled from the previous decade: blue with white spots and pearl necklace. She too is smiling as she grasps the flowers and her child on a warm day. Oddly, the boy looks as though he is wearing a girl's dress which may have been a hand-me-down from an older sibling or just the trend then.

  • A young boy creates ripples as he plays with his radio-controlled boat in the River Thames at Dorchester, Oxfordshire. The sun is hidden behind a line of trees and the boy who is backlit stands in the shallow part of the river up to his ankles, wearing his swimming costume. The small boat is only a few feet from the antenna that controls its movement. It is a scene of idyllic tranquility, a childhood of happy summer days. Here the Thames is at its most serene, where visitors enjoy its shallows with the fear of strong currents, tides or large boating activity.

  • Young adolescent couples kiss and cuddle in a dark corner of a Gatecrashers' Ball in London, England. Three boys and girls dressed in formal evening-wear have been consuming alcohol during the evening and are groping and snogging. The Gatecrasher Ball was an eighties phenomenon conceived by Edward Ormus Sharington Davenport whose parties catered for Public School students. Labled as excessive and out of control events, Davenport charged .£14 a ticket, for often 3,000 kids although he was later fined for tax evasion. .

  • A young boy of about 5 years-old from the mid-sixties plays amongst lavender in his parents' property. He has the face of boyhood innocence as he traipses through the garden. It is the summer of 1967 and the colours are muted on this Kodachrome film slide which has a wonderful magenta colour cast in the mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

  • With a look of delight on her face, a four year-old girl stamps through fallen snow in a field near her home in Bielefeld, Germany. Wearing a vibrant red bobble hat and matching coat, she smiles towards the viewer with the pleasure of any child enjoying the excitement of fresh snow. Ski or sledge tracks can be seen at her feet but she is the only person in this empty landscape, as if she's walking on her own through the snowy hills. It is the winter of 1967 and the reds are very vibrant and dominant from the Kodachrome film used which also has a wonderful muted blue colour cast in the mid-tones giving the picture a chilly, wintry feel reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded and dated look.

  • A young blonde girl of approximately 3 years-old stands on a lawn looking delighted. She giggles with great mirth at something that pleases her - possibly the way her father has posed her as if she's a ballerina, or maybe because it is her birthday and her present is the blue dress she is showing off to the viewer. The girl holds out her arms while holding a special pair of sunglasses. It is the summer of 1967 and this is a housing estate for British soldiers stationed in Bielefeld, Germany still during the Cold War. The girl's father is a solder serving in the British Army and the they all live in a house nearby with other expat families. Kodachrome film has a wonderful magenta colour cast in mid-tones and where a small light-leak has affected the far right, reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

  • A little boy wearing a blue jump suit stands on the pavement outside his house holding the handlebars of a favourite matching blue coloured tricycle. He looks upwards towards the viewer slightly bemused about having his picture taken by his father who looks down from a standing position. Meanwhile, the boys sister towers above him dressed in a bright red coat and clean white gloves and short white socks. Alongside her is a friend also wearing gloves and a knee-length skirt but we see only their lower bodies and not their faces so they are unrecognisable - an older sibling and a girl friend. It is the summer of 1960 and while the red is vibrant, the blues and greens are more muted in this Kodachrome film which has a wonderful magenta colour cast in the mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look

  • A young lad of 10 poses for a portrait taken by his brother while holding the hand of his young nephew. Confusingly, the 10 year-old uncle and the 1 year-old child are closer in age than the two brothers. The older boy is on holiday in Malawi visiting expat family in the then capital, Blantyre, so named after the town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, where the explorer David Livingstone was born. Both boys stand in the dust of a back yard where a broken windmill remains upright in the intense brightness of mid-day. It is a scene of awkward and gangly boyhood versus the confidence and innocence of young childhood and their posture is exaggerated by differing heights. Kodachrome film has a wonderful magenta colour cast in mid-tones reminiscent of the classic days of early photography when shifts in color gave a faded look.

  • A portrait of three brothers of the same family have their picture taken outside their parents' home in Westcliff, England. The eldest is a teenager of approximately 17 and  is holding his youngest brother who is still only 12 months-old. The third boy is biting his lip while looking to the viewer, more anxiously than the other two. He is possibly 14 but both the elder lads wear identically-designed jumpers that cut across the throat to allow their clean white shirts and ties to remain visible. Apart from the young child, the elders share the same dark hair colour but genetically, they share one chromosome that has given them heavy eyebrows, a family trait. This was taken on Kodachrome film stock in the spring of 1961 so the look and feel of the image is dated with wonderfully muted colours that this Kodak film offered to consumers in the early 60s.

  • Growing above older Victorian architecture is a new tower block that rises above a Victorian office block in the City of London. The fast-rising project is 20 Fenchurch Street, a skyscraper under construction on Fenchurch Street in London. It has been nicknamed the Walkie-Talkie and the Pint because of its bulbous top.[1] Upon completion in summer 2014 the building will be 160 m (525 ft) tall, with 36 storeys. Costing over £200 million, it is designed by architect Rafael Viñoly.

  • As his mother washes clothes in a communal spring below, a young boy of about 9 years of age stands on a track in the Himalayan foothills near the town of Gorkha. Here, the British army traditionally recruits young men for the Gurkha regiment (as they have done since 1857). The lad is wearing a yellow hooded sweatshirt and like many in this region - even is sub-zero temperatures - flip-flops. Nepal is one of the world's poorest countries. The prospects for this child may mean they will in future, if the army has no place for him, he may try to seek work in cities like Kathmandu rather than face a lifetime's struggle in local agriculture, as can be seen in the valley below. Their supplies and contact with the outside world comes up from these tracks of boulders and stone along which either men or yaks carry up food for basic survival and luxury goods.

  • Two judges wearing identical tweed jackets are assisted by two other officials, also wearing the same red sweatshirts, are measuring oversized runner beans during the vegetable Olympics at the Bay Tree Nurseries, Spalding, Lincolnshire, England. With obssessive detail, they are discovering to the very millimetre which of theseplants might win this category for the largest runner bean of that year. In the foreground are other kingsize veg examples like marrow and courgettes though the really impressive growth comes from the pumpkins which weigh up to 308,2 kg. These runner beans measured up 39 1/2 in

  • 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.

  • A woman farmer taps dripping resin from a rubber tree in a plantation on Pulau Langkawi Island, Malaysia. We see the lady surrounded by even rows of trees, all carefully spaced when planted. Each cool evening the tapper removes a thin layer of bark along a downward half spiral on the tree trunk. She makes an incision in the bark of the tree and fluid then drains into a collecting vessel. If done carefully and with skill, this tapping panel will yield latex for up to 5 years. Malaysia is one of the top exporters of natural rubber. Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea, some 30 km off the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia.

  • An official from the Giant Vegetable Olympics attaches the winning pumpkin contestant with a sash honouring its great victory at the Bay Tree Nurseries, Spalding, Lincolnshire, England. Reaching round the immense girth of this specimen is awkward and frankly, a ridiculous pursuit. Sponsored by Garden News Magazine and hosted by the nursery owner, these vegetables can weigh up to 300kg, their growth accelerated by special fertilizers and genetic hormones.
