A photograph captioned, "So they gradually go".
Caption reads: "I lived in London all through the Blitz, you get used to these things. Living here after the earthquakes didn’t bother me. I had a small battery operated radio and the neighbour lent me her generator. Initially I used it to run the fridge but after a while I couldn’t get it started. I don’t want to move, to be quite honest. There’s nothing that will be able to replace the life I built here."

A photograph captioned, "I guess the only good thing that came out of the earthquake is that we know the residents better. It definitely bought people together, and the support was incredible. If you didn't know your neighbours before, you definitely knew them after the quake. We made friends out of this".
Caption reads: "Bexley was a hidden gem. A diamond in the rough. It was a paradise, a place where you could hear the sea and smell the salt."
Caption reads: "We were meant to live here all our lives, our working life, our retirement. That’s no longer possible."
A photograph captioned, "See, Dallington still is beautiful".
Caption reads: "We wanted a home where we could retire and live the rest of our lives."
