  • With orange sparks falling away below, a shipbuilder welds while standing on a scaffolding gantry on the hull of a large German ferry at the Polish Gdansk shipyard - once known as the Lenin Shipyard but still the largest of its kind in modern Poland. The grimy and hazardous working conditions make for a dangerous environment in which to work and the worker wears a protective hood on his head. Here in 1980 the union Solidarity (Solidarnosc) was conceived and was partly responsible for a growing dissent against Communist rule, ultimately contributing towards the fall of the Berlin Wall. Lech Walesa started his political career as an electrical technician here, going on to lead Solidarity and then to become President of a democratic Poland. Today Gdansk is a major industrial city and shipping port.

  • During a fair at the famous Alexandra Palace in north London England, where the first BBC broadcasts were made in the mid-30s, the British Inventors Society (BIS) meet in a stand during a British Invention Show, an expo to help international entrepreneurs to sell their new ideas and concepts. BIS was formed in December 2003. The team that came together includes leading inventors and innovators, academics and entrepreneurs who share a common belief - that invention is the vital spark that drives the world's technology and new orders of wealth creation. But there is no-one at home here, its stand remains unoccupied with vacated seats seen through the open doorway and beneath the plain sign. It is a comical and ironic scene, of unfulfilled ambition and failing innovation.

  • The day after its catastrophic blaze, firefighters continue to assess fire damage from their ladders, to the Queen's official residence at Windsor Castle, on 20th November 1992, in London, England. The most northerly corner of this old building that caught fire in a private chapel on the first floor of the north-east wing. Spreading quickly, damaging St George's Hall, which is often used for banquets. In all, one hundred rooms were damaged in the fire and intense public debate was sparked about whether the taxpayer should foot the repair bill, as the castle is owned by the British Government and not the Royal Family. But the Queen agreed to meet 70% of the costs, and opened Buckingham Palace to the public to generate extra funds. The £40m restoration took five years. Windsor is the largest inhabited castle in the world and partly dates to the time of the Norman King William the Conquerer.
