Sign on a metal fence in black and beige: “Attention drivers! Please turn off engine when waiting”
A bundle of several green & red carpets appear dumped in a road next to a pavement
Looking down on a circle of 8 small bottles containing herbal extracts. There’s also a small bottle in the centre of the circle. All of the bottles have been placed on the shiny side of a cd placed on a wooden surface.
Part of a sheet of asbestos roofing sticking out of the ground next to fragments of black plastic sheeting.
The reflection in a car windscreen of a telegraph pole descending from the top left of the image. From a blob at the lower end of the pole in the image (the top actually), there’s a spray of wires spreading down over the windscreen. The inside of the car is slightly visible through the milky reflection in the windscreen. The steering wheel can be seen along with a vent below the inside of the windscreen
A triangular garden covered with green plastic grass. There are three circles of pebbles in a line on or cut into the grass. In line with the circles is a blue ceramic plant pot on as brown plastic mat.. Along on side of the grass can be seen the leaves of a real hedge. A brick wall is at the rear of the scene. A tarmac footpath takes up half of the image to the right of a line from the top right corner of the square image to the bottom left corner. There is a concrete step in the footpath.
A photo full of a variety of old/used wrist watches with a variety of straps. It’s a mess of watches, some with faces showing & some with backs showing. Some are likely to digital watches and others analogue/wind ups.
The back of a rusty pickup truck contains rubbish including a red child’s car seat on its back. There is also a white toilet pedestal on its side complete with its cistern still attached. The bottom of the cistern is covered in black mould.
A glass-fronted fridge with every shelf full or almost full with cans of soft drinks along with a half shelf full with plastic bottles of water.
Over 10 transparent refuse sacks, full of miscellaneous litter, piled on a pavement awaiting collection by a black litter bin and in front of a car park’s low stone wall.
An ornamental garden bench is broken, twisted and propped haphazardly against a brick wall. It has ornamental cast iron ends with legs for both ends, one of which is upside down. There is just one broken slat for the seat. The back of the bench is broken at a corner and attached to one of the bench-ends at another. The back is rectangular wood frame around a cast iron panel in a pattern of rose shapes.
A drinks can dumped in a hollow below the root ball of a tree that had fallen down some time ago.
Dog-shit lies on stone pavings
A former car park being cleared of trees. The trees in the foreground have been cut down and the stumps are surrounded by square islands of soil at a higher level than the main area covered with a beige stone hardcore with various track marks on its surface. In the background, there is a stone building, and orange coloured excavator, a large heap of broken up paving material. A couple of trees still stand in the former car park and there is a band of trees in the distant background.
Photo of an orange-framed small-wheeled bike lying flat in a shallow river. A drink can floats by the bike’s rear wheel. Foliage can be seen in the top left and bottom right of the picture. A bramble stalk protrudes high above the river.
A field of grass cut by tractor in straight lines. The drying cut grass is heaped into multiple straight lines crossing the image. There is a line of uncut grass in the foreground. Between the lines of cut grass are bands of grass stubble, beige in colour.
Photo of a rusty round sattelite receiving dish fixed with rusty brackets to the stone wall of a house and between 2 windows. A cut cable dangles below the dish.
Photo of metal framed glasses with blue rubberised arms, one broken off and placed in front of the lens apertures in the frame. One lens is missing
Photo of multiple vinyl albums with plastic sleeves and stored in open plastic crates. Only one album cover is legible. It’s blue & carries the words “Can we please have fun”. “Can we” is in white lettering & the rest is in yellow, almost matching the colour of the crate containing it
Various pieces of offcuts or damaged chipboard, some partially painted white. Seen in the back of a pickup truck.
A haphazard pile of audio cassettes & cassette boxes with different brand labels. Some boxes are open revealing the cassettes, others are closed.

A large transparent plastic bag sits next to a black litter bin. The bag contains various wastes including sweet wrappers.
Photo of a weathered conservatory roof & its beams falling to a gutter with lead flashing over the junction with an adjacent stone wall. The roof is patterned with the tracks of slugs or a similar creature. There are various pieces of unidentifiable rubbish in the roof’s gutter. There is also a rainbow coloured disk higher up the roof slope.
Thick beige coloured insulation offcuts with a foil face. In the foreground, a concrete pavement kerb. In the background, lumps of stone discarded as part of building a house wall.
A small blue sailing boat on a trailer by a timber fence. The superstructure and cabin is in white fibreglass that is very dirty with snail tracks and many leaves on deck. Although not obviously damaged, the boat looks neglected. There is no outboard engine on the its mounting. There are metal handrails on deck. The boat’s wooden mast can be seen almost horizontal and pushed into the cabin’s open entrance. A white keel can be seen below the boat. The name of the boat is on the starboard stern - Alouette
A spade carries the grey fluff, dander, hairs & other small debris arising from vacuum cleaning a house.
Photo of a horse transport vehicle with flat tyres, a scrappy green cab, wood boarding for the part of the vehicle for the horses. The wood boarding looks close to rotting.
Photo shows a back yard surface with stone paving but covered in a variety of discarded items including a large pile of broken bricks with white-painted plaster still on them, a wooden table with short legs, an unidentifiable tubular metal and plastic frame (perhaps formerly part of shelving or the like), blue plastic sheeting scrunched up, some black antique-looking table legs, some carpet, some partially painted wooden boarding that looks like it has been the subject of demolition work, perforated rubber matting, a vertical grey stone flag leaning against the table legs and missing a chunk that lies on the ground, and more.
Pink plastic raffia twin tangled in a bush. Almost all of the picture is taken up by the greenery of the bush plus some grass.
Photo shows the white back of a washing machine with all the innards removed so it’s possible to see through it to the inside of its front. This shell is being used to support a wooden platform forming a table on which there are plants in pots & a plastic water container. Behind the shell of the washing machine there are the legs of a table that are more visible in the other photo. There is a garden chair to the left of the shell. The backdrop is the gritty surface of a concrete garage. The foreground is grass.
A broken upholstered antique chair is lopsided on the ground with all its legs broken and one sticking almost vertically up from the seat. That leg is the only one visible The seat has spots if moss growing on it. The curved wooden head of the backrest has chunks missing
A full-frame view down on a large number of miniature metal model cars that some people like to collect. There is a wide variety of cars in different colours and models.
A random arrangement of various video tape boxes in grey & blue predominantly - on end and flat. Manufacturer’s labels are visible. In the foreground is an open black tape box with its cassettes next to it. The reels of the tape are just visible through transparent windows on the cassette.
Picture of a brown leather sofa and armchair on the driveway in front of a house’s white garage door. A bed mattress has also been placed flat on the driveway to the left of the armchair & sofa. The driveway is surfaced with brick paviours in a herringbone pattern.
A lorry’s diesel tank coloured blue. Spilled diesel can be seen discolouring the tank, more so where the tank has more road muck on it lower down. The spill emanates from the filler cap on top of the tank. The scene is crossed horizontally by 2 grey bars. There are also 2 black straps around the blue tank - one at each end.
2 large skips full of builders’ waste, I blue and 1 yellow. In front of the skips is a large pile of stone blocks in random sizes & shapes.
A shiny letterbox with a sticker on it “No Junk Mail” in black font on a beige background and the whole phrase surrounded by a red line. The only parts of the grained brown plastic door that are visible are the four right angle corners of beading that imply panels in the door. The effect is the letter box appearing in the centre of a cross.
On the side of a pavement, the rusty springs & frame of a bed’s mattress lies. It’s about 2m long & 1-2metres wide.
Photo looking down on a round wooden bowl containing a variety of unfired bullets. Some of them have white plastic-looking tips.
On the side of a road, there’s a rusty closed waste skip with 2 hinged & lockable hatches. On top, two timber pallets and 2 empty cable reels have been placed. The cable reels look like flues on a steamer or horns of some sort. A mobile caravan is parked on the other side of the road in the distance
Recyling box containing various emptied packages that had contained complex food-like substances. One package declares its former contents were “Cola” “Ice Coolers” “Push up lollies”. There is an image of this device - a red coloured tube from which a brown cylinder is emerging - presumably a chocolate coated cylinder of frozen “cola”. There’s also plastic packaging with no labelling and a frame of some material with holes in it that would previously have held multiple yoghurt pots, drinks or other cylindrical beverage or “food” containers. The box also contains the broken off brown lid of what looks like a bin used for collecting compostable food waste.
Corners broken off a thick grey stone(?) picnic table & seats.
A huge pile of black & semi-transparent rubbish bags stacked against metal fencing with signs requiring segregation of various recyclable materials. Randomly scattered in the pile is lots of drinks packaging - cans, cartons including a card box full of cans. Behind the fence, there’s a couple of temporary toilet cubicles & the side of a black van.
A large field full of parked cars stretching into the distance. Behind them is a green hillside with some trees on it. There’s a blue sky with a few white clouds in it.
A field of tents crammed together- blue, green, red in different shades. Behind it are trees & a blue sky with flecks of white clouds. Just below the tree line in the distance, a pink inflatable octopus can be seen above the mass of tents.
Black & white photo of a metal trolley with many brooms in it outside a shop. The broom-heads stick out above the top of the trolley. Next to it are 2 shopping strollers.
Photo of the dirty back of a black TV leaning against a wall with short side on the ground. Around it is a white builders’ bag, a bin, a bucket, a mop bucket, a plastic bottle, other rubbish and a seaside wind-break with blue, yellow and red banding. Leaves are scattered around the scene.
A green coloured tent lies completely flat on the brown fragments of leaves below trees. The tent is folded on itself to create a complex pattern on the ground.There is also some leaf debris on the wet and shiny surface of the tent. Tent poles lie at angles to irregular pattern the tent makes on the ground. Some green leaves have randomly fallen on the scene.
Inside an abandoned Baptist chapel walls. Windows have been closed off with concrete block. The stone walls are bare stone apart from the rear end of the chapel. There are graffiti on the rear white painted walls. Most of the roof has disappeared but the rear portion remains although it looks precariously close to collapse. No part of the floor is visible. Instead, there is a variety of weeds growing everywhere and there’s a sapling with green leaves growing towards the back right of the chapel.
Picture looking down on 3 lanes of a main road. There are 3 cars in a V formation in the 3 lanes nearest the camera. Behind them is a line of lorries and cars.
Photo showing flattened cardboard boxes on a rough road. There’s a yellow & green one labelled “Ginger”, a white and red one labelled “Garlic Cloves” and a white and blue one labelled “Farfalla wine of Italy Pino Grigio”. Also strewn around are the skins and tops of onions, the card of an empty toilet roll, paper fragments, some plastic snack packets, some wooden pallets in the background, a plastic lemon & lime drink bottle, a red plastic ring pull from a bulk liquids container and a general mess of rubbish.
Photo of old film cameras randomly placed in a tray.
Old laptop computers stacked on top of each other on a shelf. At the bottom of the pile is a DVD player/ Some form of radio receiver is jammed between the laptops and DVD player and so the stack of laptops is lopsided. All the equipment is silver coloured except the top two laptops - dark grey. There is a black tape across the DVD player’s drawer. Also in the picture is a black mains cable with a 13amp plug attached.
Photo of a tall steel stack that’s not discharging anything visible. It’s behind a scrappy hedge and some steel mesh gates. On the left and right of the gates are dumped piles of bags and other rubbish. In the background are fluffy white clouds with glimpses of blue sky behind them.
A strange roofless outbulding with block or concrete walls & a metal frame that once would have supported a roof. At one end, there is an opening for what would once have had a door. All around are green plants, trees & bushes.
2 paper white paper take-away plates & a drinks can abandoned on a stone wall surrounded by green vegetation. A footpath can be seen nearby.
A picture of a black metal door with a rusty metal bar bolted across the opening so that it can’t be opened. There are 2 key holes and an octagonal handle on the door. Daubed randomly across the door is teal coloured paint - the same colour as used by Reform UK.
Photo includes a stack of timber planks in the background in front of a stone wall. In the foreground, an old TV on its side; the side of a table-top oven on top of pink metal shelving; an upside down washing machine with its back visible, two white hot water cylinders, a metal drum, a red-framed bicycle that looks rideable.
