  • It is morning in Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India and on the West bank of the Hooghly River the food market is busy with merchandise being brought across the Howrah Bridge. We see coconuts piled on the ground and women carrying sacks on their heads while others stand around them awaiting trade. Above them is the huge British engineering of the bridge which stretches across the water towards the city beyond. The bridge is one of three on the Hooghly River and is a famous symbol of Kolkata and West Bengal. Bearing the daily weight of approximately 150,000 vehicles and 4,000,000 pedestrians. It is one of the longest bridges of its type in the world. The Hooghly River is an approximately 260 km long distributary of the Ganges River and this bridge is one of the finest cantilever bridges in the world.

  • It is morning in Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India and on the streets around the Writers' Building, a busy fruit market is in full swing. Against the wall however, a dying skill is being shown: A man sits with his back to the bustle of the street and is hand-typing letters for those unable to write their own correspondence with his own battered typewriter. Working as a freelance typist, the man transcribes the hand-written words for a customer before the days of home PC or laptop. The Writers' Building (Mahakaran in Bengali) is the secretariat building of the State Government of West Bengal in India. The Writers' Building originally served as the office for writers of the British East India Company, hence the name. Designed by Thomas Lyon in 1780, it received its impressive Corinthian façade, an example of the Neo-Renaissance style, in 1889.

  • After heavy rain and the subsequent flooding, two lone canoeists paddle down the centre of the A27 near Chichester, West Sussex. The Dual carriageway has been completely submerged to approximately 1.5 metres and only the road sign with its directional arrow is visible above the surface which is rippling in a faint breeze. The men in red and yellow kayaks look inexperienced in boating activities and their clothing is not suitable for water sports. Even so, they are speeding down the highway that is otherwise empty of all other vehicles and they have the water and space to themselves without the fear of collision.

  • Deep in the West Sussex countryside are a group of Territorial Army soldiers. They have stopped in a remote lane to consult their Ordnance Survey maps during a day of learning to navigate with maps and compasses. Over a weekend learn the skills needed to be part-time army volunteers known as the TA and have far to go. Together they look at maps and argue where they should go next. Looking on with mild amusement is their senior officer who accompanies them to assess their leadership skills and initiative. Behind them a road sign tells them the road ahead is a dead end to traffic. It is a very English summer landscape of lush green vegetation and grasses. The TA work as part of Britain's reserve land forces. Together with the Regular Army they provide support at home and overseas including Iraq and Afghanistan. .

  • Russian Anastasia Dobromyslova (from Tver, Moscow) is the highest-ranking ladies' darts player, having beaten the 7 times champion Trina Gulliver. Here, she competes in an England Open tournament at the Bunn Leisure Holiday Park in Selsey, near Chichester on the south coast of England. Attractive and feminine, she is confident and at ease with her game amid many lesbian women who frequent darts matches like this. She concentrates on each dart thrown and is oblivious to the audience's noise behind her in an upstairs pub at the holiday park. This is one of her many tournaments she travels to during the darts events calendar although she needs to repeatedly renew her visa to gain re-entry into the UK.

  • A large, manly woman sips a pint of lager during a darts tournament where she competes in an England Open tournament at the Bunn Leisure Holiday Park in Selsey, near Chichester on the south coast of England. Holding three darts with a Union Jack flags on the 'flights', her glass covers her face but we see her rings and bracelet and her ample belly after a life of beer and cigarettes in pubs like this. A great deal of alcohol (mostly lager, but also Coke) is consumed during darts tournaments although smoking in public places has now been banned in the UK, including pubs and bars. This audience seemed to consist largely of very large lesbian women from working families which seems to suggest that the pub (and alcohol) is still the place where women are attracted to the game of darts. ..

  • A holy Sadhu man attracts a crowd on the Maidan in central Calcutta, India. Near some ballustrades built by the British during the last years of the Raj, the man is leaning forward on his knees and his head is buried in gravel. Practicing Tapas or Niyamas, is one form of Austerity that holy men like this perform to cleanse themselves of bad thoughts. It is a conservation of energy; an increase of power in the system by sense control; a process of positive-thought, self-imposed  hardships and inner-strength - all to gain a higher being for oneself. They might stand in cold water in winter, stand on or bury their heads in earth. Niyamas also breeds non-violence, truthfullness, non-stealing, moderation, non-possessiveness, purity, contentment, discipline, study and surrender.

  • Young men watch a ball fly over their heads into the distance during a spontaneous game of cricket routinely held (in the 1990s) among the tombs and mausolea of dead British Raj officials and family members, buried in Victorian-era Park Street cemetery, on 18th November 1996, in Kolkata, India. The Park Street cemetery was amed “Park Street” after the private deer park built by Sir Elijah Impey around Vansittart’s garden house. The cemetery (opened in 1767) served as a burial ground for the European expatriates who were settled in Calcutta during the colonial period. The cemetery was closed in 1840 due to lack of burial space and is now a heritage site, preserved by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI)

  • The runners and riders for the 5th and 6th races during a horseracing meeting at the British-built Kolkata racecourse, on 18th November 1996, in Kolkata, India. The race course was built in 1820 and is maintained by the Royal Calcutta Turf Club (RCTC), founded in 1847 in Calcutta, British India (now Kolkata, India) and became the premier horse racing organisation in India during the British Raj. At one time it was the governing body for almost all courses in the sub-continent, defining and applying the rules that governed the sport. During its heyday the races it organised were among the most important social events of the calendar, opened by the Viceroy of India. During the 1930s the Calcutta Derby Sweeps, organised by the club, was the largest sweepstake in the world. It is still an exclusive private club and still operates the Kolkata Race Course.

Scottish merchant Robert Milligan (1746 - 1809) grew up on his family's sugar plantation in Jamaica and by the time of his death, owned 526 slaves of his own. Because of the theft of his sugar and rum cargoes from the docks of the day, he and other busnessmen built the massive West India Docks trade hub, him becoming Deputy Chairman of the West India Dock Company. In the aftermath of the George Floyd protests in the US and UK Black Lives Matter groups, who are calling for the removal of statues and street names with links to the slave trade, Milligan's and other statues of British slavery owners and profiteers, have become a focus of impassioned protest.

  • Police tape and a makeshift sign warn of a lane closure due to flooding in the village of Lavant, West Sussex. Afternoon sunshine illuminates the roughly-made board with red painted letters which says 'Road Closed'. The rippling water is less than a foot deep and we can see the broken white centre line beneath the surface but the linked posts that border the village green are also submerged. Even so, traffic is prohibited from passing through there for the risk of grounding or damaging engines. Lavant is a village just north of the city of Chichester. It is made up of two parts, Mid Lavant and East Lavant, and takes its name from the River Lavant which flows from East Dean. This area has been prone to flooding for several years and houses around the rising rivers can be blighted with insurance companies refusing future cover.

As part of the Museum of London's plans to move into Smithfield's General Market Building, this photography show celebrates pregnant residents of Waltham Forest. The cost of the move is estimated to be in the region of £70 million and, if funding can be achieved, would be complete by 2021. There has been a market on this location since the Bartholomew Fair was established in 1133 by Augustinian friars.
