What went on behind the closed doors? Only the generations of workers who kept things going at night could tell you. Their story is told by the Gentle Author in bringing us these photos .

Can’t help looking at the Trafalgar square one and re-imagining myself back on the fourth plinth during Antony Gormleys art installation during 2009. I sttod on it in the middle of the night. It was astounding and a great wave of history swept over me as I looked around the blackened night and recalled the great events that had taken place at this place. Viva Chavez!

Love & Peace
