  • Rubbish and litter in the 1990s blocks the waterways of a canal, on 10th September 1994, in Stratford, east London, England. Algae and household pollution lies on the surface of the waters dug by navvies of the Victorian era when canals around Britain helped supply the industrial revolution with the raw ingredients to power the furnaces, mills and wharves of the transport age. This is a small outlet of the River Lea where the future 2012 Olympic Park would eventually be built - the waters once again freed from 20th century dereliction.

  • Holidaymakers are seated in deckchairs on the North Pier at Blackpool, England. As a man in the back row drinks deeply from a can and a lady next to him looks intently at life to the right, a more eccentric woman sleeps with a lacy handkerchief stretched across her face, pinned inside her sunglasses. Looking very English with embroidered or printed pattern of flowers. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. Blackpool is the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • A rather eccentric-looking man is seated on a bench on Blackpool's North Pier. This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd. The pier has intricate cast ironwork seat backs dating from 1863 and the man sits with ankles crossed, wearing a suit and trilby hat on a warm summer's day. In the background we see families - parents and children - playing and walking on the beach at low-tide - the golden sands a much-visited aspect of Blackpool, the largest resort in the north of England and visited traditionally by working people from industrial towns and cities during the industrial revolution.

  • It is night-time on Blackpool's Golden Mile, the seaside resort in Lancashire, England. Like an English Las Vegas the neon lights glow to entice the holidaymaker inside where slot machines, games and rides await visitors to lose their vacation money. The Golden Mile is the name given to the stretch of Promenade between the North and South piers. It emerged in the late 19th Century, when small-time fairground operators, fortune-tellers, phrenologists and oyster bars set up in the front gardens of boarding houses, This northern seaside resort in the north-west of England is diverse in its transient holiday population whose behaviour can be routinely odd.

  • A courier in blue and two traders from the LIFFE futures exchange take a break in the street during a weekday lunchtime in the City of London. Wearing the orange jacket of this once thriving financial instutution, we see a scene of wealth and prosperity, from an era of growth during the industrial revolution to the arrogance and self-indulgence during the government of John Major - a political inheritance from Margaret Thatcher. The LIFFE exchange was synonymous with Thatcherite capitalist money-making ethos in the City of London of the 80s and early 90s before the takeover by Euronext in January 2002. It is currently known as Euronext.liffe. Euronext subsequently merged with New York Stock Exchange in April 2007.

  • High up on the buttresses of Westminster Abbey in central London during the mid-90s, new white Portland and Caen stone replaces the blackened materials of old - discoloured after a hundred years of pollution from the capital's industrial revolution and traffic fumes. Portland stone is a limestone from the Tithonian stage of the Jurassic period quarried on the Isle of Portland, Dorset. Westminster Abbey, is a large, mainly Gothic church, in the City of Westminster, London, United Kingdom, located just to the west of the Palace of Westminster. It is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English, later British and later still (and currently) monarchs of the Commonwealth realms.

This is a section of the River Neckinger that once flowed from south London into the Thames at Bermindsey but during the redevelopment of the warves into expensive riverside apartments, the waters were once again freed from 20th century dereliction.

  • The British art historian John Gage (June 1938-Feb 2012) known for his books on Turner and the art of the Industrial revolution. John Gage, who has died aged 73, was an art historian whose incisive intelligence and deep commitment to exploring the significance of colour in painting made him one of the most original and important figures working in the field. His magisterial book on understandings of colour in western art, Colour and Culture: Practice and Meaning from Antiquity to Abstraction (1993), has become a standard work of reference. The fruit of the better part of a lifetime's work, it has found a wide audience well outside the field of art history, and has been translated into five languages. John also wrote groundbreaking studies on Turner that transformed our understanding of this artist's approach to painting, showing how its vivid visual qualities do not speak just to the eye, but address both eye and mind in a way that is rich with symbolic and cultural meaning.

  • Spinning turbine blades of the Wind farm near the Cornish town of Delabole in England are blurred against fast-fading light. We barely see the three blades as they revolve to produce electricity for the national grid. First operational in mid December 1991 they were a very controversial project with locals who saw them as a blot on their familiar c though it’s permission went ahead nonetheless. The 10 turbines operated by Windelectric are carefully positioned in existing hedge lines about 270 m apart and have an annual output of about 12 million Kw hours, which equals 1 years consumption by 2700 average homes (a small town). To produce the same amount of electricity by conventional means, about 2000 tonnes of oil or 5000 tonnes of coal would have to be burnt each year, this has a Co2 offset of 4,475 tonnes.
