The picturesque Rainbow Runner boat is moored at Aldermaston Wharf in West Berkshire, creating beautiful reflections on the still waters of the Kennet and Avon Canal. This peaceful scene showcases the canal's industrial heritage and transport history, with canalside buildings and trees framing the serene watercraft. In the evening light, the clear reflections and monochrome black and white image add to the overall tranquility of the canalside scene.

A black and white image of the charming cottages which sit next to the swing bridge over the River Kennet in the heart of Newbury, West Berkshire. This is the West Mills area where once there were corn mills utilising the power of the water to drive their wheels. Here the Kennet Navigation is about to become the Kennet and Avon Canal taking us to Bath and Bristol. Behind us, Newbury's Town Lock leads us eastwards to Reading and the Thames.

An abstract painting created with coloured blocks, panels and slabs. Quite industrial in appearance with a strong structural and tactile composition this is a very dynamic piece with an imposing, immediate impact.

Phineas Gage's head injury. This lithograph, published in 1850, shows the head injury to Phineas Gage (1823-1860) that led to important advances in understanding how the human brain works. Gage was working on the construction of a railway in Vermont, USA, when, on 13 September 1848, an accident with an explosive charge sent a tamping iron (1 metre long and 3.2 centimetres wide) into his head. It passed under his left cheekbone, through the left frontal lobe of his brain, and out through the top of his head. Gage initially appeared to make a full recovery, but it was later reported that his personality had been changed by the accident. Artwork from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences.
