  • With faint traces of an evening metor shower in the sky, a wide exterior view of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 building in West London. Created by the Richard Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners). As the last light of the day fades and a departing aircraft's lights streak across the sky, the brightness of terminal lights shine through massive panes of window glass. At a cost of £4.3 billion, the 400m long T5 is the largest free-standing building in the UK with the capacity to serve around 30 million passengers a year. The Terminal 5 public inquiry was the longest in UK history, lasting four years from 1995 to 1999. From writer Alain de Botton's book project "A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary" (2009). ......

  • The last person to leave the office is a conscientious lady employee of the biscuit and snack manufacturer United Biscuits at their UK headquarters at Hayes Park North near London England. Seen in a window surrounded bright ceiling lights, the female sits at her desk tying up loose ends before leaving for the day. As darkness falls outside, the red lights from tail lights streak across the picture and the green grass on a landscaped bank is lit by light posts. None of her work colleages have stayed on, preferring to depart to see their families at home on this winter night. Perhaps this career woman is single and an ambitious member of the team who can dedicate more time to her job..

  • A solo teenage player takes a shot at the net on a basketball court at the Cyprea Marine Foods (CMF) processing factory on Himmafushi Island, Maldives in the Indian Ocean. It is dusk near the equator and soon dark. The landscape is barren except for some young trees on the waterfront where two people are walking in the cool tropical air. Seen in the last, darkening light of day, the player leaps upwards and his arm stays where his ball left his hand to roll around the ring. The man is enjoying some leisure time at the end of his working day, possibly an employee of CMF who handle newly-caught tuna fish for export to the EU and the UK's supermarket food industry.

  • Construction in the capital where The Pinnacle project is on hold on Bishopsgate in the City of London. Construction work has been suspended again on the Pinnacle in the City of London. Contractor Brookfield is understood to have been told to stop work following more funding concerns over the Square Mile's tallest tower. Brookfield restarted work last September after developer Arab Investments put together a new finance package. But a lack of a pre-let tenant has now caused further delays on site leaving Byrne Bros concrete cores standing idle. The Bishopsgate Tower, informally referred to as The Pinnacle, was to be a 288 m (945 ft), 64-storey skyscraper in the centre of London's main financial district.

  • Sweating in tropical heat, two young men volunteers gaze up to the roof of the rainforest canopy whilst on a Raleigh International expedition in Brunei, Borneo. This is one of the remotest and most dangerous habitats on the planet and will have been a life-changing experience for them and their friends from all over the world who will have raised several thousands of sponsored Pounds for the privilege of spending two months away from a dull, comfortable life at home, rather than building community projects like bridges or schools. Raleigh International is a charity that provides adventurous and challenging expeditions for people from all backgrounds, nationalities and ages, especially young people. Over the last 23 years, 30,000 people have been involved in more than 250 expeditions to over 40 countries.

  • As traffic zooms past, the art installation called 'House' stands alone on a now-empty and house-less East London street. Oddly, the contours of the structure have been inverted to reveal an inside-out version of the original building. It is a concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house completed in autumn 1993 and exhibited at the location of the original property -- 193 Grove Road -- in East London (all the houses in the street had earlier been knocked down by the council). Created by the artist Rachel Whiteread CBE (born 1963) this is her best-known sculpture. It won her the Turner Prize (the first woman to do so) for best young British artist in 1993. Here we see 'House' next to a lamp post which throws down it's light on a winter evening, before it was controversially demolished by the council in January 1994.

  • 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.

  • Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher is seen giving her last speech as Prime Minister at the October 1990 Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool, Lancashire before being removed by her own colleagues a few weeks afterwards. Her fighting spirit and stern expression gives her the reputation of Iron Lady with a gaze that make her opponents uncomfortable. She is wearing a favourite two-tone blue suit with wide shoulders and a pearl ear-rings. The ambient stage lights emphasize the blonde highlights in her hair.

  • On the very last day of British rule over its Hong Kong colony, we see an elegant but headless life-size clothing mannequin seated on a chair on the shop floor of Chinese clothing brand Shanghai Tang. In the brand's flagship store, the last hours tick away before the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" on June 30, 1997. Midnight of that day signified the end of British rule and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. Shanghai Tang is an international clothing chain company, founded in 1994 by Hong Kong businessman David Tang Wing Cheung. This was the original store in Hong Kong's Pedder Street (in Central) providing the lead for 24 outlets worldwide.

  • Flight Lieutenant Antony Parkinson a pilot with the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, signs posters on arriving at the team's home base at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire from his last ever display. Flt Lt Parkinson has served on the Red Arrows for four years and is to leave for a Typhoon squadron - from a relatively simple aircraft to one of the most sophisticated. Press and PR is one of the team's main purposes, acting as ambassadors for the UK and as recruiting tool for tomorrow's RAF officers and autographing publicity material is a routine chore. Traditionally, photographs are designed to allow pilots a space to sign their names alongside their respective position in the display formation. In high-spirits after a stressfully long year, he is in the crew room to wind down, with a tomato in his mouth. .  . .

  • Aerial view of a Rabbi as he the last candles before the next service in Bevis Marks Synagogue in the City of London - the oldest synagogue in the United Kingdom. As we look down on a balcony above, we look down on the holy man as he prepares his place of worship for the London Jewish community. Using a long pole that reaches up to the 7 hanging candelabras (symbolising the seven days of the week, the largest of which - represents the Sabbath) he lights every one. This central candelabrum was donated by the community of the Great Synagogue in Amsterdam, upon which Bevis Marks' interior is largely based. The candles are still lit today for weddings and the Jewish Festivals. The synagogue is located off Bevis Marks, in the City of London, built in 1701 it is a Grade I listed building.

  • An elderly lady uses a 1970s model of Kodak Instamatic film camera whilst visiting an English country garden. With her eye pressed to the viewfinder, this amateur photographer is a pensioner on a day trip to the country and she takes a snapshot to record the beautiful view of flower beds and neatly-trimmed lawns. The Instamatic was a series of inexpensive, easy-to-load 126 and 110 cameras made by Kodak from 1963 and it was immensely successful, introducing a generation to low-cost photography and helping the growth of the contemporary photographic family album. More than 50 million Instamatic cameras were produced between 1963 and 1970. Kodak even gave away a considerable number in a joint promotion with Scott paper towels in the early 1970s in order to generate a large number of new photographers and stimulate lasting demand for its film business.

  • Prime Minster Margaret Thatcher is seen giving a party speech at the 1991 Conservative Party Conference in Blackpool, Lancashire, a full year after being removed by her own colleagues the previous November. Her softer and perhaps pensive expression contrasts with her reputation of the Iron Lady with a gaze that made her opponents uncomfortable. She seems distant here, perhaps recalling her great days in office when she was a powerful figure in world politics. She is wearing the same favourite two-tone blue suit with wide shoulders and a pearl ear-rings as she wore the year before when still in office. The ambient stage lights emphasize the blonde highlights in her hair.

  • A lone male figure makes his way along a corridor of power in the newly-opened European Parliament building in Brussels, Belgium. As the new head-quarters of the EU and an administrative home to the Members of European Parliament (MEPs), it is a contemporary architectural symbol of infuence and modernity. We see the man walking towards an open atrium. The viewer can see three floors though there are many more out of sight and on two of the levels there are TV screens with the stars denoting the number of member states at that time. The interior is grid-like with warm and inviting lighting, making for a productive environment in which office workers can feel comfortable when dealing with European political business.

  • The last light of day fades on the still waters of Sgeir Nam Biast, a bay overlooking Waternish Headland, near Dunvegan, north-west Isle of Skye, Scottish Highlands. A solitary light bulb glows from an upstairs room in this isolated cottage across the calm lake. The weather is perfect but unusual for one of the wildest parts of Britain. Farming practices have changed irreversably in a generation and many residents have English accents rather than that of native Scots islanders as city dwellers from the far south seek an alternative to urban lifestyles. The weather can have adverse effects on those unprepared for such wild conditions, especially during harsh winters when violent storms batter these Atlantic coasts. But old crofts have been converted to bed and breakfast homes, catering for tourist visitors who adore this form of idyllic escapism....

  • A red Hawk jet aircraft belonging to the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team, is parked outside a nearby hangar on the concrete 'apron' (where aircraft park) at the squadron's headquarters at RAF Scampton, Loncolnshire. A member of the team's support ground crew (the Blues because of their distinctive blue overalls worn at summer air shows) prepare to refuel as the last daylight fades and artificial light from the hangar illuminates the scene. Their winter training schedule is both rigorous on the aircraft and demanding on the pilots who will typically fly up to six times a day in preparation of the forthcoming summer when they display at 90-plus air shows. After the day's flying, the engineers' night shift arrive to service and maintain the aging fleet of 11 aircraft. .

Government restrictions on the 2 metre rule is to be realxed on 4th July and replaced with 'one metre plus' in the hope it stimulates the struggling UK economy.

  • A young couple stand with the backdrop of Welsh mountains and hills in the background in the 1970s. Helping her husband to light his cigarette in a breeze, the woman's coat is blowing in the wind, so high up in the mountains have they stopped during a daytrip to the north Welsh hills. Rolling misty mountains are in the distance as bad weather appears to be approaching. It was taken on a film camera by the man's father, an amateur photographer in 1973. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.

  • In light monsoonal rain, a lone pedestrian is seen from a high viewpoint, crossing a zebra crossing with a yellow grid box junction to his right in Central Hong Kong on the last day of British rule. The junction is empty and without any traffic but the word 'Look' is stencilled in white letters for the benefit of unwary pedestrians. An umbrella used by the unrecognisable person is a colour match with the painted striped road markings, identical to the British highway traffic code. The transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover" occurred at midnight on June 30, 1997, signifying the end of British rule, and the transfer of legal and financial authority back to China. Hong Kong was once known as 'fragrant harbour' (or Heung Keung) because of the smell of transported sandal wood.

  • The last moments of street lighting illuminates the pavement and road as dawn breaks over the shoreline on the untidy and empty seafront in Nea Makri, a coastal town near Athens on the Marathon road. This town is the original route that the Athenian messenger Pheidippides ran in 490BC to deliver news of the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of (Marathonas) Marathon. Nowadays, this is a rather unattractive town with few echoes of Greece's ancient glories although the 29th modern Olympic circus came home in 2004. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.
