This photo essay discusses artworks that explore the commemorative dimensions of death through socially-engaged artistic processes, and the use of Oasis® floral foam—an ephemeral material that is integral to making flower arrangements that venerate the cycles of life and the celebratory milestones between birth and death. It examines the material’s uncanny corporeal associations when it is formed into vessels, and the ways in which the foam may be seen to transform meaning into materiality. It reflects on how the exhibition of cremated remains of Roman Londoners with associated funerary vessels, titled Roman Dead, at the Museum of London Docklands, informed a series of miniature foam gravestones adorned with custom-designed vessels created on site at East London’s Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, and a series of art workshops in hospice settings with palliative care staff, which were designed to promote meaningful reflection and healthy discussion about death and dying.

This chapter examines cases where the parties set out to make a contract but fail to complete the course and make that contract. It considers whether one party may be liable to the other and in what circumstances. As the contract making process has become longer and more complex this has become an increasingly important area of law and one which is still in active development. The cases considered include those involving liability in contract (Emcor Drake & Scull v Sir Robert McAlpine, G. Percy Trentham Ltd v Archital Luxfer Ltd, and Way v Latilla; quantum meruit (William Lacey (Hounslow) Ltd v Davis, Regalian Properties Plc v London Docklands Development Corporation, and Sabemo Pty Ltd v North Sydney Municipal Council), and estoppel (Dillwyn v Llewelyn, Plimmer v Wellington Corporation, and AG of Hong Kong v Humphreys Estates).

On a late spring day in 1856 Prince Albert carried out one of the less routine royal engagements of the Victorian era, by laying the foundation stone of what was to become ‘The Strangers’ Home for Asiatics, Africans and South Sea Islanders’, located at Limehouse in the London docklands. The deputation receiving the prince was headed by the earl of Chichester, who was the First Church Estates Commissioner and president of the Church Missionary Society, and included Thomas Carr, formerly bishop of Bombay, Maharajah Duleep Singh, a Sikh convert to Christianity and a favourite of Queen Victoria, and William Henry Sykes, MP and chairman of the East India Company.
