  • During the Liverpool binmens' strike of 1991, litter and refuse bags collect in the back alleyway of back-to-back terraced houses, on 14th June 1991, in Liverpool, England. Surrounded by black bin-bags during the Merseyside dustmans' strike of 1991, two young "Scouse' girls lean against a brick wall in a rear alleyway between poor terraced housing in Liverpool, England. The industrial action against the local authority was a health problem for Liverpool over that summer when streets filled with rubbish. Vermin like rats ran around and public city parks filled with every kind of refuse and garbage. Few of these back-to-backs existed in the 1990s after being cleared to allow construction of high-rise tower-blocks and flats. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)

  • Traffic, cyclists and pedestrians fill this busy urban landscape in Oxford Street in London's west end. As the cars drive past allowing for the space needed for the bikes and their riders, shoppers walking on the pavement (sidewalk) make their way to see the shops and stores. We see the signage of McDonalds, Virgin and Sock Shop - all major brands in the early 1990s - plus Cannon cinemas. There is boxes litter in the gutter which the cyclists have to steer past and they pass-by.

  • The One Canada Square is seen soon after its completion in the early-1990s. Seen from a low angle inside the dome of Cabot Square shopping mall, we see the tall building rising above us.

At their feet in the bay window are the fruits of a buoyant economy - Magnums of and jeroboams of Champagne to help revel in the success of the era. This is the City of London, the heart of the capital's financial district where money is earned in great quantities and commodities traded in their millions.

Kenneth Clarke MP, the then-Chancellor in John Major's Conservative government of 1994, these city and financial dignitaries have feasted well in the old Guildhall, the City of London's town hall - the Guildhall - in the historic financial district of the capital. Wearing formal banquet attire, these chiefs of industry appear to be an all-male audience though there were also women sat at tables during the Banker's Dinner held every in June when the Chancellor of the Exchequer delivers a speech known as the Mansion House Speech hosted by the Lord Mayor, which takes its name from his official residence nearby. They concentrate on the speech to hear the Chancellor's predictions for growth and prosperity.

  • City workers carry office possessions including computer hard drives and files that were damaged by the IRA bomb that devastated the City of London's Bishopsgate area in 1993, on 26th April 1993, in London, England. Allowed to return to their desks to recover their data and working paperwork, they walk through the ancient streets en route to new emergency office elsewhere in the capital. The Irish Republican Army (IRA) exploded a truck bomb on Bishopsgate. Buildings up to 500 metres away were damaged with one and a half million square feet (140,000 m) of office space being affected and over 500 tonnes of glass broken. Repair costs reached approx £350 million. It was said that Roman remains could be viewed at the bottom of the pit the bomb created. One person was killed when the one ton fertiliser bomb detonated directly outside the medieval St Ethelburga's church.
