  • A traditional oyster fishing boat in the Fal Estuary, a method unchanged for 500 years, on 4th October 1994, in Falmouth, Cornwall, England. Oystermen have harvested on the River Fal in the same traditional and highly sustainable fashion, without the use of mechanical power, for more than five hundred years, being widely grown along the whole Cornish coast when the Romans invaded, and by 1602 they were being caught in much the same way as they are today, using thick, strong nets, called dredges. Byelaws banned oyster dredging by mechanical means, forcing local fishermen to rely on wind and tide in purpose-built, sail-powered Falmouth Working Boats. Although most oyster fishermen in Falmouth have other seasonal jobs, for the most experienced and committed fishermen oysters provide a decent year-round livelihood.

  • Balancing across the width of the roof’s surface, a traditional thatcher lays water reed on to the roof of a Suffolk cottage in afternoon sun, on 16th August 1993, in Suffolk, England. He uses a Shearing Hook to lay the straw into the outer weathering coat of the roof’s slope. Using techniques developed over thousands of years, good thatch will not require frequent maintenance. In England a ridge will normally last 10–15 years. Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge (Cladium mariscus), rushes and heather, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof. It is a very old roofing method and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates.

  • On the site of a former churchyard, an ancient protected London Plane tree rises over 70 feet high on the corner of Wood Street and Cheapside in the City of London. Mentioned and fated in the annals of London history for almost 600 years, the tree is a city emblem, written about and quoted in text and verse including William Wordsworth in 1797: "At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears / Hangs a Thrush that sings loud, it has sung for three years / Poor Susan has pass'd by the spot, and has heard / In the silence of morning the song of the bird .. A mountain ascending, a vision of trees / Bright volumes of vapour through Lothbury glide / And a river flows on through the vale of Cheapside."

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.

  • Scaled history from the 'Splendid China' model village and modern architecture in the Shenzhen metropolis, China. With a foreground of China's history represented by a classical dynasty constructed in wood and the looming presence of the modern concrete city - the materials separated by thousands of years. We see some of the 50,000 ceramic figures and scenes from a period in Chinese history and further away, a modern corporate building in the metropolis contrasting with ancient, traditional architecture. Splendid China is an attraction at the Overseas Chinese Town, Shenzhen that has scaled down replicas of China's historical buildings, wonderful scenes and folk customs. The scale models are of a 1:15 with 100 miniaturized landmarks such as The Terracotta Warriors; Great Wall; Forbidden City; Old Summer Palace etc. all laid out according to their geographic locations.

  • A young man strides past the wall and name of the London Stock Exchange in the City of London. Walking fast past this financial institution, we see the young man's shadow on the wall beneath the name on the exterior wall. Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986 , this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower  became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading. Thus, in 2004, the House moved to a brand new headquarters in Paternoster Square, close to St Paul's Cathedral.

  • With the companionship of a pet dog, an elderly gentleman reminisces about the good old days with a life-long buddy at Alexandra Terrace, in the south Wales town of Abertillery (Welsh: Abertyleri). Together they lean against a stone wall of a road above and look down the hill of their street they may have lived all their lives. In the distance, a younger generation of young girls play at the far end. The men might once have been working men, old coal miners like many folk in this community whose  population rose steeply during the period of (now defunct) mining development in South Wales, being 10,846 in 1891 and 21,945 ten years later. Lying in the mountainous mining district of the former counties of Monmouthshire and Glamorganshire, in the valley of the Ebbw Fach..

  • Months after the fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of the communist GDR state (the German Democratic Republic), a Trabant is worked on at the company factory, on 15th June 1990, in Berlin, Eastern Germany. The East German auto maker VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke was at Zwickau in Saxony. The Trabant was the most common vehicle in East Germany - Like the Beetle in the West, its Peoples' Car with a 595 cc, two-cylinder air-cooled engine. It had space for four, was compact, light and durable with its distinctive body shape constructed from Duroplast panels attached to a galvanized steel shell. It was in production without any significant changes for about 34 years, becoming a symbol for the cheap, cheerful and polluting possessions for Communist Europeans. When the Berlin Wall eventually fell, Trabants coughed and spluttered onto West German roads for the first time. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • A 1999 landscape showing the construction of the new Millennium Bridge over the river Thames, opposite St. Paul's Cathedral in the City, on 16th February 1999, in London, England. The £18.2m Millennium Bridge (a Thames crossing linking the City of London at St. Paul's Cathedral with the Tate Modern Gallery at Bankside) was London's newest river crossing for 100-plus years and coincided with the Millennium, it was hurriedly finished and opened to the public on 10 June 2000 when an estimated 100,000 people crossed it to discover the structure oscillated so much that it was forced to close 2 days later. Over the next 18 months designers added dampeners to stop its wobble but it already symbolised what was embarrassing and failing in British pride. Now the British Standard code of bridge loading has been updated to cover the swaying phenomenon, referred to as Synchronous Lateral Excitation.

  • Six months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the last Trabant cars come off the factory production line, on 1st June 1990, in Zwickau, eastern Germany (former DDR). The DDR-produced Trabant suffered poor performance, but its smoky two-stroke engine regarded with affection as a symbol of the more positive sides of East Germany. Many East Germans streamed into West Berlin and West Germany in their Trabants after the opening of the Berlin Wall. It was in production without any significant change for nearly 30 years. The name Trabant means "fellow traveler" in German.

We see an aerial view of the 1980s-era options trading floor, looking  down from a high vantagepoint on to the traders as they go about their business. Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986 , this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower  became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading.

  • A detail of a Victorian house gable in the Essex seaside town of Frinton-on-Sea. Ornate blue painted woodwork looks fresh and clean despite it being 100 years old. The name of the property reads as Essex House and the date of its construction as 1896. A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of a sloping roof. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system used (which is often related to climate and availability of materials) and aesthetic concerns. Thus the type of roof enclosing the volume dictates the shape of the gable. A gable wall or gable end more commonly refers to the entire wall, including the gable and the wall below it.

Seen from a low angle, we look up at the small boy standing on some steps of a bridge on the seafront at Southend-on-Sea in Essex, recorded on a film camera by the boy's father, an amateur photographer in 1962. The picture shows us a memory of nostalgia in an era from the last century.
