  • 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.

  • Graffiti sprayed on a rendered brick wall proclaims that a higher authority 'Can't evict our ideas'. This message of resistance by the underdogs of a moral majority appears on a part of wasteland in the Yorkshire city of Bradford, where the residents of an estate near the city centre have been forcibly removed to make space for a new development. Before their migration, the anonymous, downtrodden people were desperate enough to write this piece of anarchical philosophy that might be seen as a metaphor for a class war against the establishment by The People; the working classes otherwise known in Marxist ideology, as the Proletariat - a kind of thought from the (Orwellian) novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell.

  • Two people of east Asian-descent look at Toshiba laptops displayed in a computer specialist in Tottenham Court Road - the centre for technology, gadgets and computing in central London. It is 1990 and the smaller, more portable laptop market is just taking off. The man takes notes on paper, writing prices, technical  specifications and offers for these Japanese-made items. Vying for sales with Toshiba in this particular window is Psion, Epson and Canon - all players in the early 1990s.

  • Graffiti has been sprayed in red with aerosol on the wall of an estate agent in Herne Hill, South London England. "Homes for the Homeless, not Yuppies" it reads along with the Anarchists' Circle-A symbol, meaning that housing should be made available for families needing a roof over their heads, rather than overpricing properties for the middle-classes buying for profit and investment. We see the writing on the wall beneath pictures in windows of houses and flats in the SE24 area where prices are posted along with details of the buildings. The house-buying market climbs according to demand in areas of the city such as this, forcing up values which are out of reach to ordinary, working people unable to climb the property ladder.

  • A black student works diligently alongside a white-skinned man at the communications company Cable & Wireless in London, England. We see in the foreground, the dark-skinned young man with a short beard is writing with a pencil that has a rubber on the top but the man in the background is out of focus. It is an image of ethnic diversity, of a multicultural Britain with students living and working uninterrupted side-by-side. They are both concentrating on their work in  a generic office or classroom, perhaps entering an examination or performing a corporate test.

  • The writer, essayist and philosopher Alain de Botton leans against the wheel of a traditional dhoni boat in the Indian Ocean. De Botton is in the Maldives researching his book 'The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work' about the world of Work, published in April 2009. Here he accompanies a fishing boat crew who use hand and line methods to land yellow fin tuna for export to the EU and in particular, Sainsbury's supermarket. Barefoot on the roof of the wheelhouse and with the top of his pen in mouth, he looks thoughfully into the distance to think of more great ideas for his best-selling book. Alain de Botton (born Zurich, 1969) now lives in London. His best-selling books refer both to his own experiences and ideas- and those of artists, philosophers and thinkers. It's a style of writing that has been termed a 'philosophy of everyday life.'

  • Using ladders and ropes during a rescue operation, Fire Brigade crews enter the floodlit broken air frame of a British Midland Airways Boeing 737-400 series jet airliner which lies on an embankment of the M1 motorway at Kegworth, near East Midlands Airport in Leicestershire, England. On the night of 8th January 1989, flight 92 crashed due to the shutting down of the wrong, malfunctioning engine. Attempting an emergency landing, 47 people died and 74 people, including seven members of the flight crew, sustained serious injuries. The aircraft's tail was snapped upright at ninety degrees. Here perished most of the passenger fatalities. The devastation was hampered by woodland and the fire fighters are attempting to rescue survivors or extract those killed in this air disaster that proved one of Btitain's worst.

  • As stormy waves crash over its super-structure and funnel, the Liberian-registered MV Braer oil tanker spills 84,700 tonnes of crude oil into the North Sea. It sits below its water-line with crude oil leaking from its ruptured tanks after running ground in hurricane force winds, beeching itself on these rocks in Quendale Bay, west of Sunburgh Head, the Shetland Islands, Scotland. In fast-fading light, this ecological disaster occured in a beautiful region of Great Britain affecting much native wildlife although the Gulfaks oil the Braer was carrying is lighter therefore more biodegradable and able to disperse better than other North Sea crude. ..

  • With the words 'We will never accept a united Ireland' and another quote 'For God and Ulster' we see a detail of a political painting in a street off the Shankhill Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This Loyalist mural may have been drawn by a paramilitary artist, whose handiwork is the crest of the protestant Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) the organisations behind many a sectarian action against neighbouring catholic supporters of the Irish republican Army (IRA). In loyalist areas, the red, white and blue of the British Union Jack is painted on kerbs, houses and railings to signify peoples' allegiance to the crown, having historically followed the 17th century activities of King William of Orange against Catholics..

  • Campaigners locked out of the closed Carnegie Library have written messages in chalk on the front entrance in Herne Hill, south London on 7th May 2016. For ten days, members of the community in the south London borough occupied their important resource for learning and social hub for the weekend. But after a long campaign by locals, Lambeth have gone ahead and closed the library's doors because they say, cuts to their budget mean millions must be saved. A gym is planned to replace the working library and while some of the 20,000 books on shelves will remain, no librarians will be present to administer it. London borough’s budget cuts mean four of its 10 libraries will either close, move or be run by volunteers.

  • Racist graffiti has been sprayed on a wall on Herne Hill in the south London borough of Southwark. Appearing some time over the weekend, the offensive message was left outside a jazz bar called Dee Dee's in an otherwise very affluent suburb of the capital, making this offence very unusual and shocking many residents. It was initially partly painted over then covered by sheets before council workmen appeared to remove the graffiti within 30mins after it being reported.
