  3. Five pages of letters written by William Wordsworth, shown from above.

  4. Three blue Stagecoach double decker buses on a village street in Cumbria with the Lake District fells in the background. The bus in the foreground is open-topped towards the rear. It is on the right of the road - which is flanked by a smattering of white buildings - with another standard bus a little way behind it. The third bus is on the left hand side and is seen from the rear. It is a 599 service. There are people queuing for the open-topped bus, some getting on the 599, a person crossing the road and two walking towards the bus on the left. One has an umbrella raised.

  5. A van and a car driving underneath a concrete bridge. Both sides of the road are lined with trees.

  7. Windermere Villas comprise several large houses on the shores of the lake, some with boathouses. They are pictured from the still, dark water. A mature area of thick trees sits behind the six houses which are detached with a decent gap between each. In the main they are two-storey buildings with additional dormers and have extremely neat gardens dominated by very well-maintained hedges. The wooden, shed-like boathouses, four of which are shown, face out on to the lake and resemble double door garages with pitched roofs.

  8. Trevor Avery is a bald man in his fifties wearing glasses and has a beard and moustache. He is standing in front of a wall that is heavily pockmarked with peeling paint that is coloured cream, pale pink and brown where it appears to be damp. He is wearing a black, roll-neck jumper.

  9. The Forum in Barrow-in-Furness has a brutalist vibe but is made of brick, tiles and glass with wood cladding near the flat roof. It has its name over the glass doors and windows. Either side, in the same font, lower case letters and on the same sort of background it reads arts and entertainment on the left and theatre cafe and bar on the right. There is a triangular roof above the main door. A couple of people, a distance from each other, are walking along the pavement in front.
