  1. A lorry lowers chippings on to a road while workman sit on the back of the vehicle. The scene - a rural road with sweeping bend and green fields on either side - is pictured from above. The lorry has a white cab, in the foreground, and the trailer behind is hydraulic and tilted to about 25 degrees to allow the grey coloured contents to pour into other heavy equipment behind.

  3. A Google Streetview showing the tide out at Duddon Estuary. There is a boat on a grassy area of dry land. Beyond that is a huge stretch of sand with a line of water - akin to a meandering stream - but the tide is a long way out of shot to the left. Beyond the wide estuary, in the background, hills gradually rise up from the left to a domed peak, creating what looks from distance like a rolling ridge. There are plenty of grey clouds but they are high and the day appears dry.

  4. A row of five plastic fence segments have been erected along Nether Bridge. The wall of the stone bridge has been destroyed. A row of houses can be seen in the background.

  5. Cyclists climbing up a narrow street which has stone buildings on either side. Crowds line the street, a few holding Union Jack flags. There is bunting above the street further down the street which is the bottom of the road.

  7. Three peacocks in a garden. One stands on the floor looking towards a fence to the left. The other two stand on top of the fence, the one on the far left peering down. The gardens are cast in a golden light and there are green hedges and pink flowers in the bottom left corner.

  8. A young woman with a woolly hat sits on a large black off-road mobility scooter. She wears a green puffed jacket and a blue and white striped jumper. She is parked on a raised wooden viewing platform overlooking a countryside scene.

  15. Three men hold up a large England flag with the words Barrow AFC across the horizontal line of the red cross. In the top left corner it has the Barrow AFC badge, the top right has a red rose, the bottom left has the phrase "you fill up my senses" and the remaining quarter has the outline of a black submarine. The three men are all wearing sunglasses and are standing in front of a sign for the theme park Six Flags Over Texas. There is a pavilion and a rollercoaster in the background.

  16. Dale Street in Ulverston. A straight, narrow road with different styles of two-storey terraced houses. On the left there are fences, walls and large bushes and trees separating houses from the narrow pavement which parked cars straddle further down. On the right, red brick houses open directly on to the pavement. Cars are also parked all along that side but are fully on the road rather than part on the pavement.

  17. An old image showing Carlisle's Union Workhouse. The yellowed image shows the building with a main central body with a pitched roof, a tower at either side and a clock on the higher part of the facade. There are two large wings over three floors on both sides of the central body.
