Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAWR2 - A vivid red neon sign displaying the phrase Twenty First Century's Yesterday mounted on an exposed brick wall inside Bruxelles, a long-established bar on Harry Street in Dublin city centre. The sign glows under warm artificial lighting, creating a distinctive evening atmosphere typical of Dublin's nightlife and pub culture.
The image is taken indoors, with no natural daylight visible, suggesting night-time or late-evening trading hours. The saturated red neon contrasts strongly with the dark brick background, giving the scene a retro, slightly underground aesthetic associated with music, arts and alternative culture in the city.
Bruxelles is widely recognised as a cultural meeting place in Dublin, frequented by musicians, artists and writers over many decades. Interior details such as this neon sign contribute to the venue's character and are often used editorially to illustrate stories about Dublin nightlife, urban culture, hospitality, music scenes and creative spaces in Ireland's capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXHJ - This image shows the interior of Campfield Studios, located on Liverpool Road in the Castlefield area of Manchester city centre. The building forms part of the historic Campfield Market Hall complex, a substantial Victorian iron-and-glass structure originally developed in the late nineteenth century to support Manchester's booming industrial economy. The wider site sits alongside the world-famous Liverpool Road railway buildings, closely linked to the early development of the Science and Industry Museum and Manchester's role as the birthplace of the industrial revolution.
Originally designed as a covered market and storage space serving the surrounding canals, railways, and warehouses, the hall later fell into decline as industrial uses moved on. In recent years it has been sensitively regenerated and reborn as Campfield Studios, a flexible cultural and events venue that blends historic industrial architecture with modern hospitality and performance spaces.
The photograph captures the hall in active use, filled with people attending a live music and social event. Temporary bars, food stalls, and performance equipment sit beneath the exposed iron columns and high roof structure, highlighting the adaptive reuse of the space. The mix of seated and standing visitors reflects the building's modern role as a community hub for markets, concerts, exhibitions, and social gatherings, while the original Victorian engineering remains clearly visible.
Taken during warmer months, with light flooding in through large windows and open entrances, the scene illustrates Manchester's ongoing regeneration of its industrial heritage. Campfield Studios stands as a strong example of how historic science and industry buildings in northern England have been successfully repurposed for contemporary urban life, culture, and leisure, while retaining a strong sense of place and historical continuity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCDJ32 - This image shows a Barclays cash machine set into the exterior wall of a building on High Street in Northwich, Cheshire. Above the ATM is the distinctive blue Barclays eagle logo, a long-established element of the bank's corporate branding, clearly identifying the cashpoint as part of the Barclays retail banking network.
Cash machines such as this form a visible and practical layer of everyday financial infrastructure on UK high streets, providing access to cash even as traditional bank branch services have reduced or moved online. In many towns, ATMs remain one of the last physical touchpoints between major banking institutions and the public, particularly important for older residents, small businesses, and cash-based transactions.
The photograph focuses on branding and placement rather than people, highlighting how corporate identity is embedded into the built environment. The clean, functional design of the ATM contrasts with the textured wall surface and soft daylight shadows, reinforcing the sense of routine, everyday use rather than spectacle.
In the wider context of Northwich town centre, the image reflects ongoing changes in high-street banking, where full-service branches have been rationalised but cash access points continue to play a key role. As a documentary image, it records both a recognisable global banking brand and a specific local location, making it relevant to themes of finance, retail banking, urban change, and the persistence of cash in an increasingly digital economy.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2REGHT7 - This image shows a canal boat in the foreground at Northwich Quay Marina, located on London Road in Northwich, Cheshire. The wide view across the marina reveals multiple narrowboats and leisure craft moored around the basin, with still water creating clear reflections of boats, trees, and surrounding buildings.
The photograph was taken in daylight under partly cloudy skies, with soft light and broken cloud cover enhancing the reflective surface of the water. The presence of a canal boat in the immediate foreground adds depth and visual interest, drawing the viewer into the scene and emphasising the scale and calmness of the marina.
Northwich Quay Marina is a popular destination for leisure boaters and visitors, providing access to the River Weaver navigation and the wider UK canal network. The marina sits close to the town centre, combining waterside recreation with nearby shops, caf??s, and walking routes.
The image captures a tranquil and attractive aspect of British canal life, appealing to tourists, boating enthusiasts, and those interested in slow travel, heritage waterways, and waterside regeneration in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PW - This photograph shows large numbers of Formula One fans gathered in tightly packed queues at entrance gates to Silverstone Circuit, having walked in from surrounding car parking areas during the British Grand Prix weekend. The image captures the scale of attendance and the steady, patient movement of spectators as they wait to be processed through ticket and security checks.
The crowd is diverse in age and dress, with many fans carrying backpacks, drinks, and personal items for a full day at the circuit. Bright summer sunshine and clear blue skies reinforce the seasonal nature of the event and the festival-like atmosphere that surrounds the British Grand Prix, one of the UK's most popular annual sporting occasions.
Such scenes highlight the logistical challenge of managing tens of thousands of arrivals within short time windows, where crowd density, pedestrian flow, and safety must be carefully controlled. The image documents the behind-the-scenes reality of large-scale motorsport events, where arrival routes from car parks, queuing systems, and stewarding play a critical role in maintaining order and public safety.
Well suited for editorial use, this photograph illustrates crowd behaviour, event access planning, and the lived experience of attending Formula One at Silverstone, capturing both the anticipation and the practical realities faced by spectators before they reach the track.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PY - This photograph shows heavy congestion and long queues at an entrance gate to Silverstone Circuit during the Formula One British Grand Prix. Large numbers of spectators are held within temporary metal barriers as they wait to pass through controlled access points, illustrating the crowd density and operational pressures typical of peak arrival periods at major international sporting events.
The image captures a moment where pedestrian flow slows and compresses, emphasising the importance of effective crowd management, stewarding, and clear communication to maintain safety and prevent frustration. Bright summer weather and casual clothing underline the scale of attendance, while the tightly packed queues reflect the popularity of the British Grand Prix and the challenges of processing tens of thousands of visitors within limited time windows.
Entrance congestion of this kind highlights the logistical complexity of Formula One events, where security screening, ticket checks, and safety controls must balance speed with duty of care. The photograph provides strong documentary context for discussions around event planning, access design, and public safety at large UK sporting venues.
Well suited for editorial use, this image illustrates crowd behaviour, access bottlenecks, and the realities of managing spectator entry at one of the world's most famous motorsport circuits.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5RC - This photograph shows spectators queuing at an entrance to Silverstone Circuit during the Formula One British Grand Prix, waiting to pass through security screening on a clear and sunny morning. Long lines of fans are guided by temporary metal barriers towards controlled access points, reflecting the scale and organisation required to manage one of the UK's largest annual sporting events.
Security checks at major Formula One events typically include bag inspections and restrictions on items such as alcohol containers and prohibited objects, forming part of wider crowd safety and risk management arrangements. The visible queuing system and open terrain underline the logistical challenges of processing large volumes of people efficiently while maintaining public safety and a positive visitor experience.
The image captures the anticipation and atmosphere of race day, with spectators dressed for warm weather and moving steadily towards the circuit interior. Parked vehicles, fencing, and temporary infrastructure in the background illustrate the extensive operational footprint that surrounds a modern international motorsport event.

The blue and white striped stall, topped with Union Jack flags and bold British branding, sells traditional confectionery and artisan fudge to racegoers moving through the circuit's spectator areas.
Food and drink vendors form an important part of the British Grand Prix experience, contributing to the festival atmosphere that surrounds modern Formula One events. Alongside the racing action, spectators spend time browsing merchandise and enjoying sweet treats, reflecting how large sporting events blend entertainment, retail, and leisure.
The image captures crowds of fans walking past the stall under clear summer skies, with temporary grandstands visible in the background at Stowe Corner, one of Silverstone's most recognisable trackside locations. The setting highlights the scale and commercial infrastructure required to support tens of thousands of visitors across a race weekend.
Well suited for editorial use, this photograph illustrates British motorsport culture, event catering, traditional confectionery, and the wider social experience of attending Formula One at Silverstone, where national branding, food, and mass participation come together in a celebratory summer environment.

Temporary attractions such as ferris wheels, funfair stalls, and branded entertainment zones have become a familiar part of modern Formula One weekends, reflecting the sport's evolution into a global lifestyle and entertainment spectacle. The prominent Google Chrome colour scheme highlights the role of major international technology brands in motorsport sponsorship and event marketing.
The dense crowd below, dressed for warm weather, conveys the scale and popularity of the British Grand Prix, which regularly attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors across the race weekend. The image captures not just the racing itself, but the wider social experience of attending Formula One at Silverstone, where motorsport, branding, leisure, and mass participation intersect.
This photograph is well suited for editorial use covering Formula One, global brand sponsorship, major UK sporting events, crowd culture, and the transformation of motorsport into a large-scale summer festival environment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RC95RJ - Tea One ? The Baum / Yorkshire Street
Combining elements of classical painting with inspirations from the world of graffiti Tea One is influenced by the post industrial landscape of Northern Britain. Particularly he draws from those remnants left over from the areas once abundant past. Painting on the alley known as the Baum he has weaved seven stories together from seven different women. Calling the piece the ?Seven Sisters' he is of course also referencing the famous apartment blocks through placing real life stories into that context.
His stories are those which many of us would have experienced. Each of the women in the mural have their own tale to tell but they are tales that all of us could associate with. From left to right the first woman holds something up to a light. It's unknown what it is but it could be an opportunity or it could be a burden. She doesn't know it yet but her life might be about to change either way. Next to her a woman sits in a boat rowing with her back to her destination. She isn't sure what lies ahead yet she still travels into the unknown, she is on her own personal odyssey.
The third woman is wearing a mask. She is struggling with her own identity. Perhaps living a charade or just not sure what journey she is on or whether it is indeed the right one. The silhouetted figure next to her represents travel. Either leaving or arriving she could be about to go on a journey or may be coming home after a voyage. The fifth woman represents rebirth, pregnant she is about to bring new life into the world. Next to her meanwhile a tear falls down the face of the sixth woman. She is experiencing her own private tragedy. Though we don't know what it is we will have all had similar emotions from time to time.
The mural from ?Teaone' is called the Seven Sisters
The final woman as part of this mural is deeply personal to the artist. Showing a woman undergoing treatment for breast cancer. He calls this overcoming the monster

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R64RFH - This image shows a promotional banner advertising Lancaster's seasonal summer markets, strung across a city centre street and framed by rows of colourful triangular bunting. The banner announces a summer market date and opening times, celebrating local traders, seasonal produce, and community activity in the heart of the city.
Seasonal markets play an important role in Lancaster's civic and economic life, supporting independent businesses, encouraging footfall, and creating a festival atmosphere within the historic urban environment. The bunting and signage transform the street into a shared public space, signalling celebration, sociability, and local pride.
Historic stone buildings provide a strong architectural backdrop, reinforcing Lancaster's identity as a traditional English city with a well-preserved townscape. The clear blue sky and bright colours emphasise the summery character of the event and the positive, welcoming tone of the promotion.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited for editorial use covering UK market culture, town-centre regeneration, community events, local economies, and the visual language of civic celebration in English towns and cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55J81 - This image shows The Trafalgar Tavern, a well-known historic riverside pub located on the south bank of the River Thames in Greenwich, South East London. The building's distinctive cream and pastel facade faces directly onto the river, making it one of the most recognisable landmarks along this stretch of the Thames.
Originally built in the early 19th century, the Trafalgar Tavern has long been associated with Greenwich's maritime past and has been frequented over the years by sailors, merchants, politicians, and visitors. Its prominent riverside position has made it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, particularly for dining and socialising with views across the Thames toward the Isle of Dogs.
The photograph was taken in the evening, with soft daylight illuminating the waterfront and creating a relaxed, social atmosphere. Boats are moored in the foreground on the river, while people can be seen gathering along the riverside promenade beneath rows of trees, suggesting a busy and convivial scene during fair weather.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering London pubs, riverside architecture, Greenwich tourism, hospitality, leisure, British social life, and the enduring appeal of Thames-side landmarks in the capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R7A41N - This photograph shows a section of Highgate Cemetery in North London, featuring a variety of Victorian grave markers and memorial headstones set among dense greenery. The graves range in style and age, with upright headstones, carved stone monuments, and crosses visible across the sloping, wooded landscape.
Highgate Cemetery is internationally recognised for its historic significance, atmospheric setting, and rich collection of nineteenth-century funerary art. Opened in 1839, it reflects Victorian attitudes to death, remembrance, religion, and social status, while its semi-wild management allows vegetation to grow freely around many memorials.
The presence of wild plants, shrubs, and mature trees softens the stonework and creates a distinctive balance between commemoration and nature. This interaction between human memory and natural growth has become one of Highgate Cemetery's defining characteristics, contributing to its romantic and slightly gothic reputation.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image captures the quiet, reflective atmosphere of the cemetery and its role as both a place of remembrance and a significant heritage landscape within London. It is well suited for editorial use illustrating Victorian burial practices, historic cemeteries, London heritage, and themes of mortality, memory, and time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R7A47B - This photograph shows a group of stone crosses and grave monuments set among lush vegetation in Highgate Cemetery, one of London's most historically significant Victorian burial grounds. The memorials include a variety of cross designs, from simple Latin crosses to more elaborate Celtic forms, reflecting the religious symbolism and artistic styles commonly used in nineteenth-century funerary sculpture.
Highgate Cemetery is renowned for its wooded setting and the way nature has gradually reclaimed many of its monuments. Ivy, wild grasses, and mature trees surround the graves, softening the stonework and creating a distinctive atmosphere that blends memorial art with a natural landscape. This balance between preservation and natural growth contributes to the cemetery's romantic and slightly gothic character.
Stone crosses were widely used in Victorian cemeteries to express Christian faith, hope of resurrection, and remembrance. Their weathered surfaces and varied designs illustrate both personal commemoration and broader cultural attitudes to death during the period of rapid urban and industrial expansion in London.
Photographed in natural daylight, this image captures the quiet, reflective quality of Highgate Cemetery and its role as both a place of remembrance and a significant heritage landscape. It is well suited for editorial use covering Victorian funerary traditions, religious symbolism, London history, and the visual character of historic cemeteries in the UK.

Stone crosses were widely used in Victorian cemeteries to express Christian faith, hope of resurrection, and remembrance. Their weathered surfaces and varied designs illustrate both personal commemoration and broader cultural attitudes to death during the period of rapid urban and industrial expansion in London.
Photographed in natural daylight, this image captures the quiet, reflective quality of Highgate Cemetery and its role as both a place of remembrance and a significant heritage landscape. It is well suited for editorial use covering Victorian funerary traditions, religious symbolism, London history, and the visual character of historic cemeteries in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23A7 - This image shows a weathered stone angel statue set among dense vegetation in Highgate Cemetery, one of London's most famous Victorian burial grounds. The angel, carved in a contemplative pose and holding a shallow bowl, is partially surrounded by wildflowers and natural growth, creating a strong sense of stillness and quiet reflection.
Highgate Cemetery is renowned for its richly symbolic funerary art, with angels commonly used in nineteenth century memorial sculpture to represent guardianship, mourning, and the soul's passage between earthly life and the afterlife. Over time, many monuments have become entwined with surrounding plant life, giving the cemetery its distinctive romantic and slightly gothic character.
The presence of forget me not flowers and encroaching greenery softens the stone form and reinforces themes of memory, transience, and nature reclaiming human-made structures. The statue's worn surface and softened edges reflect decades of exposure to the elements, adding to the sense of age and historical continuity.
Photographed in natural light, this image captures the unique atmosphere of Highgate Cemetery, where art, history, and landscape merge. It is well suited for editorial use illustrating Victorian funerary traditions, London heritage sites, themes of remembrance and mortality, and the enduring visual power of historic cemeteries in urban Britain.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RADRR3 - A stone angel statue sits within an overgrown graveyard, photographed in black and white to emphasise texture, shadow and atmosphere. The figure's downcast expression and folded posture convey themes of mourning and reflection, while the outstretched wings frame the sculpture against a background of wild vegetation and aged headstones.
Encroaching plants and wild flowers partially obscure the monument, creating a sense of nature slowly reclaiming the cemetery landscape. The weathered surface of the stone adds to the image's timeless quality, suggesting the passage of years and the enduring presence of memory within burial grounds.
The monochrome treatment enhances the image's slightly eerie, ghostly mood without overt dramatization, making it suitable for illustrating themes of death, remembrance, spirituality, gothic aesthetics, and the quiet beauty of historic graveyards. It works equally well as documentary imagery or as atmospheric visual material for creative and editorial use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NK27W5 - Travelex is a foreign exchange company founded by Lloyd Dorfman and headquartered in Peterborough. Its main businesses are foreign currency exchange, issuing prepaid credit cards for use by travellers, supplying central banks with foreign currency and global remittance. Travelex operates more than 1,100 stores and 900 ATMs in over 20 countries.
History
Travelex was founded as Express Exchange by Dorfman and opened its first branch in central London in 1976. By 1978 the company had four central London stores.
The company experienced growth in the 1980s, opening its first international store in 1984 in Rotterdam, and its first store at Heathrow Terminal 4 in 1986. Express Exchange subsequently became Travellers Exchange Corporation ? or Travelex ? when abbreviated
On 31 December 2019, Travelex took its UK and international websites and mobile apps offline following a reported cyber incident an action that also affected a number of large corporate third parties to whom Travelex provided a white-labelled travel money service including the online travel money services of supermarket chains such as ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury's.
On 7 January 2020, it was claimed that the company was being held to ransom by hackers. The cyber criminals reportedly demanded ?4.6 million ($6 million) in ransom from Travelex after infecting its network with Sodinokibi ransomware, having claimed to have copied more than 5GB of customer personal data

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NCX13D - Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).
Nearly three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time. Hemorrhoids have a number of causes, but often the cause is unknown.
Fortunately, effective options are available to treat hemorrhoids. Many people get relief with home treatments and lifestyle changes.
Your doctor might be able to see external hemorrhoids. Diagnosing internal hemorrhoids might include examination of your anal canal and rectum.
Digital examination. Your doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum. He or she feels for anything unusual, such as growths.
Visual inspection. Because internal hemorrhoids are often too soft to be felt during a rectal exam, your doctor might examine the lower portion of your colon and rectum with an anoscope, proctoscope or sigmoidoscope.
Your doctor might want to examine your entire colon using colonoscopy if:
Your signs and symptoms suggest you might have another digestive system disease
You have risk factors for colorectal cancer
You are middle-aged and haven't had a recent colonoscopy

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2N482TX - How NHS bowel cancer screening scheme works, in the UK
You will be sent an invitation letter with information about bowel cancer screening. The information is to help you decide whether to take part. Then we send you a faecal immunochemical test, or ?FIT kit' for short. It detects blood in your poo (blood you would not notice by eye). We look for blood because polyps and bowel cancers sometimes bleed. Finding blood does not diagnose bowel cancer but it means you need further tests (usually a bowel examination).
Most people's screening result shows they do not need any further tests.
Some people will need further tests. If this is the case for you, we will offer you an appointment to talk about having a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy looks at the inside of your bowel. We use colonoscopy to find the source of the blood.
You use the FIT kit in the privacy of your home. It's a simple way to collect a tiny sample of poo. The kit (pictured below) is a small plastic bottle with a stick attached inside the lid. You use the stick to collect the sample, which you seal into the bottle. There are instructions with each kit.
Once used, you post the kit in its prepaid packaging to a laboratory for processing. Using the kit takes just a few minutes and it's an easy and effective way to screen for early bowel cancer.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55J86 - This image shows a branded charity van operated by Street Hearts BG, a UK-based animal welfare organisation focused on dog neutering, rescue, and population control. The vehicle prominently displays the charity's name, logo, and mission statement, along with notices indicating that live animals may be in transit.
Street Hearts BG works to reduce the number of stray and abandoned dogs through neutering programmes and rescue activities, often operating across borders and in partnership with other animal welfare groups. Vehicles like this are essential to the charity's work, enabling the safe transport of animals to veterinary facilities, foster homes, or rescue centres.
The van's clear signage, social media links, and safety notices highlight the professionalisation of modern charitable operations and the importance of public visibility in fundraising and awareness-raising. Parked on a quiet residential street, the vehicle situates animal welfare work within everyday community settings rather than remote or specialist locations.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering animal welfare, UK charities, rescue logistics, responsible pet ownership, volunteering, and the practical realities of non-profit operations focused on protecting animals.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55J8C - A dramatic winter sunset fills the sky with vivid bands of pink, red and violet cloud, fading into cooler blue tones higher up. Bare, leafless tree branches stretch across the frame in dark silhouette, creating a natural lattice that both frames the view and emphasises the depth of the skyline beyond. The branching forms suggest deciduous woodland in the dormant season, with no leaves visible and fine twigs sharply outlined against the light.
The sky appears heavily textured with broken cloud, catching the last low-angle sunlight and turning it into a fiery, glowing canopy. The contrast between warm colour near the horizon and cooler tones above gives the scene a strong sense of late-day transition, typical of short winter afternoons when the sun drops quickly and the light changes by the minute. The atmosphere looks crisp and clear enough to hold strong colour, but with enough moisture in the air to illuminate the cloud layers, suggesting calm, cold conditions following a change in weather, or the edge of a clearing front.
The silhouetted tree line in the distance adds scale and place without needing a specific landmark, making the image useful as an atmospheric seasonal background as well as a natural landscape study. The composition reads as quiet and still, with the stark winter branches contrasting against the richness of the sky, capturing a fleeting moment of colour that visitors and walkers often notice most in the colder months, when the trees are stripped back and the sky becomes the main event.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD2424 - This image shows a freshly prepared cappuccino served in a ceramic cup and saucer, accompanied by a teaspoon and placed on a wooden table. The coffee is topped with a layer of foamed milk lightly dusted with cocoa or chocolate powder, giving it a warm and inviting appearance.
The neutral-toned crockery and natural wood surface suggest a relaxed community caf?? environment, typical of independent or socially focused caf??s that emphasise ethical sourcing and fair-trade coffee. The close-up composition highlights the texture of the foam and the warmth of the drink, creating a comforting, everyday caf?? scene.
Cappuccino is a popular espresso-based drink enjoyed throughout the UK, commonly associated with informal socialising, coffee breaks, and community spaces. Images like this are often used to illustrate themes of local caf?? culture, ethical consumption, and simple pleasures in daily life.
The photograph works well for editorial, lifestyle, food, and hospitality contexts, offering a timeless representation of coffee culture without identifiable branding.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRAHP8 - Sewage treatment (or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges. Sewage contains wastewater from households and businesses and possibly pre-treated industrial wastewater. There are a high number of sewage treatment processes to choose from. These can range from decentralized systems (including on-site treatment systems) to large centralized systems involving a network of pipes and pump stations (called sewerage) which convey the sewage to a treatment plant. For cities that have a combined sewer, the sewers will also carry urban runoff (stormwater) to the sewage treatment plant. Sewage treatment often involves two main stages, called primary and secondary treatment, while advanced treatment also incorporates a tertiary treatment stage with polishing processes and nutrient removal. Secondary treatment can reduce organic matter (measured as biological oxygen demand) from sewage,? using aerobic or anaerobic biological processes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JP0K7E - Peter Hook helped unveil a new mural of Joy Division bandmate Ian Curtis in Macclesfield town centre this afternoon (March 26).
The bassist and co-founder of New Order cut the ribbon alongside Akse, the Manchester-based street artist who painted the mural, telling those in attendance: I am actually very honoured to be here, and to do this, because to me it's about time Ian came home.
The mural, funded by Cheshire East Council, is based on an original photograph taken by Kevin Cummins at The Factory/Russell Club in Hulme, Manchester on 13 July 1979. It adorns a building on Mill Street opposite Macclesfield bus station.
Ahead of the unveiling, Hook said earlier in the week: I'm watching all the people going down the street and every single one of them is drawn to it.
Some young kids walking down had no idea who he was but now they do. Hopefully they'll listen to the music and get the gist of what we were trying to do as kids.
He said it was an honour to paint the portrait of Curtis and hoped local people were excited about it.
Aske said,Although I've been working on murals most of my life, it's still always an incredible feeling to get to the end of the journey ? well the end of my journey at least, Akse said. Now it's time for the people of Macclesfield to enjoy the mural, as I know how much Ian meant to so many of them.
Councillor Nick Mannion, chair of the authority's economy and growth committee, said: Before today, I spoke about how perhaps this beautiful mural has been somewhat overdue but now that I'm here seeing it for myself for the first time, I can say without any doubt that it has truly been worth the wait.
I am a huge fan of Joy Division ? the cultural significance of the band and Ian stretches well beyond my home town of Macclesfield. This is such a proud moment, I'm feeling very emotional about it right now.
Curtis, who was brought up in the town and is buried in Macclesfield Cemetery, was the lead singer of Joy Division

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMWGPY - The peak expiratory flow (PEF), also called peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), is a person's maximum speed of expiration, as measured with a peak flow meter, a small, hand-held device used to monitor a person's ability to breathe out air. It measures the airflow through the bronchi and thus the degree of obstruction in the airways. Peak expiratory flow is typically measured in units of liters per minute (L/min).
Peak flow readings are higher when patients are well, and lower when the airways are constricted. From changes in recorded values, patients and doctors may determine lung functionality, the severity of asthma symptoms, and treatment.
Measurement of PEFR requires training to correctly use a meter and the normal expected value depends on the patient's sex, age, and height. It is classically reduced in obstructive lung disorders such as asthma.
Due to the wide range of 'normal' values and the high degree of variability, peak flow is not the recommended test to identify asthma. However, it can be useful in some circumstances.
A small portion of people with asthma may benefit from regular peak flow monitoring. When monitoring is recommended, it is usually done in addition to reviewing asthma symptoms and frequency of reliever medication use.
When peak flow is being monitored regularly, the results may be recorded on a peak flow chart.
It is important to use the same peak flow meter every time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K14906 - The St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel forms the frontispiece of St Pancras railway station in St Pancras, London. The station is one of the main rail termini in London and the final stop for international trains departing to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and other destinations in mainland Europe. It opened in 2011, and occupies much of the former Midland Grand Hotel designed by George Gilbert Scott which opened in 1873 and closed in 1935. The hotel is managed by Marriot International.
Planning permission was granted in 2004 for the building to be redeveloped into a new hotel.
The main public rooms of the old Midland Grand were restored, along with some of the bedrooms. The former driveway for taxis entering St. Pancras station, passing under the main tower of the building, was converted into the hotel's lobby. In order to cater for the more modern expectations of guests, a new bedroom wing was constructed on the western side of the Barlow train shed
As redeveloped the hotel contains 244 bedrooms, two restaurants, two bars, a health and leisure centre, a ballroom, and 20 meeting and function rooms. The architects for the redevelopment were Aedas RHWL. At the same time, the upper floors of the original building were redeveloped as 68 apartments by the Manhattan Loft Corporation.
The St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel opened on 14 March 2011 to guests
however, the formal Grand Opening was on 5 May ? exactly 138 years after its original opening in 1873

Latchford viaduct was opened on 8 July 1893 to carry the London and North Western Railway's Stockport to Warrington line over the Manchester Ship Canal. The wrought iron viaduct, with a span of 250 feet (76 m), weighed more than 1,200 tonnes. The last passengers service ran in 1962, but the line continued to carry freight. It finally closed to all traffic in July 1985, when it was deemed too expensive to make extensive repairs to keep Latchford viaduct operational.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A4PJMF - Ewood Park is a football stadium in the English town of Blackburn, Lancashire, and is the home of Blackburn Rovers Football Club ? one of the founder members of the Football League and Premier League. Rovers have played there since they moved from Leamington Road in the summer of 1890. The stadium opened in 1882 and is an all seater multi-sports facility with a capacity of 31,367. It comprises four sections: The Bryan Douglas Darwen End, Riverside Stand (named as such because it stands practically on the banks of the River Darwen), Ronnie Clayton Blackburn End, and Jack Walker Stand, which is named after Blackburn industrialist and club supporter, Jack Walker. The football pitch within the stadium measures 115 by 76 yards (105 m ?? 69 m).
Football had been played on the site since at least 1881
Rovers played four matches there when it was known as Ewood Bridge and was most likely little more than a field. Their first match was against Sheffield Wednesday on 9 April 1881.
Ewood Park was officially opened in April 1882 and during the 1880s staged football, athletics and some form of greyhound racing (not oval). Rovers moved back in in 1890, signing a ten-year lease at an initial annual rent of ?60. Their first match at the ground was against Accrington in September. In 1893, Blackburn Rovers bought the freehold of the ground for ?2500, but came close to disaster soon after when part of a stand collapsed under the weight of a 20,000 strong crowd for the visit of Everton

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG41A4 - The attractive Cheshire village of Grappenhall, near Warrington contains some interesting buildings and retains its characterful cobbled roads and village stocks. The name derives from the Old English words 'grop', 'grep', or 'grepe' (meaning ditch/drain), and halh (meaning flat land by a river). The village was first mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086, referred to as 'Gropenhale' the land was described as having a wood with deer and was valued as being worth five shillings.
The village stands on the Bridgewater Canal, built for Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater by James Brindley and completed in 1772, it was once a busy commercial enterprise transporting coal from the mines in Worsley near Manchester to industries in Widnes, Runcorn and Northwich where the fuel was used in the production of chemicals. Nowadays the quiet towpath of the canal makes for a pleasant stroll.
A Norman church stood on the site of the Church of St. Wilfred although it was largely rebuilt in the sixteenth century. The earliest recorded rector of the church was in 1189. A small chapel was added to the church by the local Boydell family in 1334 and contains a commemorative window in their honour. Fragments of medieval glass have been preserved from the chapel which form the most extensive medieval stained glass in Cheshire. During nineteenth century building work a Saxon font of the local red sandstone was discovered at a depth of about three feet below floor level. The chancel contains an effigy of Sir William Boydell, who died in 1275. The reredos is carved in oak and is based on the painting of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci.
The carving of a cat which adorns the west face of the church tower is said to have been the inspiration for the grinning Cheshire cat in Lewis Carrol's famous children's story 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. Carrol was born in the nearby village of Daresbury. By the gate to the churchyard stand the two stone uprights of the village stocks

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XN37 - Greyfriars Kirkyard is the graveyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located at the southern edge of the Old Town, adjacent to George Heriot's School. Burials have been taking place since the late 16th century, and a number of notable Edinburgh residents are interred at Greyfriars. The Kirkyard is operated by City of Edinburgh Council in liaison with a charitable trust, which is linked to but separate from the church. The Kirkyard and its monuments are protected as a category A listed building.
History
Greyfriars takes its name from the Franciscan friary on the site (the friars of which wear grey habits), which was dissolved in 1560. The churchyard was founded in August 1562 after Royal sanction was granted to replace the churchyard at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. The latter burial ground was not used after around 1600.

The revival of the Altrincham Market is nothing short of remarkable. From 1290 (yes, 1290!) the market had been at the centre of community life in Altrincham. Throughout the centuries, the market would have been where townsfolk gathered to buy goods, make a living, and spend time in the company of their neighbours.
And yet, the second half of the 20th century brought a period of stagnation. With the fortunes of the town on the downturn and the population size decreasing year over year, the historic market was being run by the council with little love or care. In fact, around a decade ago, Altrincham was voted as having the worse high street in Britain.
So, what has changed?
Well, Nick Johnson came onto the scene. Nick was a property developer and saw something in Altrincham that others failed to spot. In 2013, he won the contract to run the market and quickly set about changing the face of it and in turn Altrincham.
Nick gave the Victorian building a makeover. Cleaning it from top to bottom and restoring some features that had been neglected. He then got to work contacting some of the area's best, local food vendors.
Nick did the same in Manchester city centre with the Mackie Mayor food hall, the big sister of Altrincham Market House. We previously wrote about Mackie Mayor here.
Food And Drink At Altrincham Market House
Since it reopened in 2014, locals and visitors have filled the food hall week after week, and it should come as no surprise ? the food on offer is second to none!
Market House is home to 10 indie food stalls, including Honest Crust, Wolfhouse Kitchen, Tender Cow, Jack in the Box, Reserve Wines, Great North Pie Co., Sam Joseph, and Market House Coffee.
Jack in the Box is an award-winning producer of real ale and cider that operate across the Mackie Mayor and Altrincham

In fact, around a decade ago, Altrincham was voted as having the worse high street in Britain.
So, what has changed?
Well, Nick Johnson came onto the scene. Nick was a property developer and saw something in Altrincham that others failed to spot. In 2013, he won the contract to run the market and quickly set about changing the face of it and in turn Altrincham.
Nick gave the Victorian building a makeover. Cleaning it from top to bottom and restoring some features that had been neglected. He then got to work contacting some of the area's best, local food vendors.
Nick did the same in Manchester city centre with the Mackie Mayor food hall, the big sister of Altrincham Market House. We previously wrote about Mackie Mayor here.

Since it reopened in 2014, locals and visitors have filled the food hall week after week, and it should come as no surprise ? the food on offer is second to none!
Market House is home to 10 indie food stalls, including Honest Crust, Wolfhouse Kitchen, Tender Cow, Jack in the Box, Reserve Wines, Great North Pie Co., Sam Joseph, and Market House Coffee.

The revival of the Altrincham Market is nothing short of remarkable. From 1290 (yes, 1290!) the market had been at the centre of community life in Altrincham. Throughout the centuries, the market would have been where townsfolk gathered to buy goods, make a living, and spend time in the company of their neighbours.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EBFWG3 - Tower Bridge is a bridge in London. It crosses the River Thames near the Tower of London. The north side of the bridge is Tower Hill, and the south side of the bridge comes down into Bermondsey, robbie, an area in Southwark. It is far more visible than London Bridge, which people often mistake it for. If large boats need to sail under Tower Bridge, the two halves of the bridge lift up to let it under. Many tourists go to London to see the Tower Bridge.
When it was first built, Tower Bridge was the bridge. Bascule is the French word for a see-saw. The bascules are the surfaces raised to allow tall ships to pass through: this happens about 900 times per year. The bridge's deck can be raised to 83deg from the horizontal. Tower Bridge is one of London's most famous sights.
The City of London Corporation held a competition for the design in 1876. Over 50 designs were entered, and in 1884 Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry's design was chosen.
Workers began to build the Tower Bridge in April 1886 and the bridge was opened in 30 June 1894.
In June 2012, the bridge was highlighted on the route of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the Thames

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNRF - This night-time photograph shows a large tethered advertising balloon illuminated from within and displayed in Yeovil, Somerset, creating a striking focal point against the dark sky. The balloon prominently features the branding health-on-line along with the slogan Surprisingly Affordable Health Insurance, clearly readable on the envelope.
The balloon is secured by multiple guy ropes and positioned within a fenced grassed area, suggesting a temporary promotional or public event installation rather than a free-flying aircraft. Ground-based floodlights enhance the visual impact, while nearby buildings and street lighting place the scene firmly within an urban town-centre environment.
Such tethered balloons are commonly used for marketing, promotional campaigns, and public engagement events, particularly in high-visibility civic spaces. The image documents contemporary outdoor advertising practices, night-time town-centre activity, and branded visual spectacle in a South West England setting, making it suitable for editorial use relating to marketing, insurance, public events, urban life, and UK regional towns

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PPAR - This image shows the village of Martock in Somerset at dusk, as daylight fades and evening light softens the surrounding buildings and landscape. The transition from day to night creates a subdued, tranquil mood typical of rural English villages at the end of the day.
Martock is a historic Somerset village with origins dating back to the Saxon period, surrounded by agricultural land and characterised by traditional stone buildings, narrow streets, and a strong sense of local community. Scenes such as this reflect the slower pace of life often associated with villages in the South West of England.
Dusk photography emphasises atmosphere rather than activity, capturing subtle colour changes in the sky and gentle contrasts between natural and built environments. Images like this are frequently used to illustrate themes of rural living, community, heritage, and the quiet rhythms of countryside life.
Photographed in natural light, the image is well suited for editorial use covering English village life, Somerset landscapes, rural identity, and the visual character of the UK countryside during the evening hours.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DG374N - While provincial banks in England and Wales lost the right to issue paper currency altogether, the practice of private banknote issue has continued in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The right of Scottish banks to issue notes is popularly attributed to the author Sir Walter Scott, who in 1826 waged a campaign to retain Scottish banknotes under the pseudonym Malachi Malagrowther.
Scott feared that the limitation on private banknotes proposed with the Bankers (Scotland) Act 1826 would be have adverse economic consequences if enacted in Scotland because gold and silver were scarce and Scottish commerce relied on small notes as the principal medium of circulating money. His action eventually halted the abolition of private banknotes in Scotland.
Scottish and Northern Irish banknotes are unusual, firstly because they are issued by retail banks, not central banks, and secondly, as they are not legal tender anywhere in the UK ? not even in Scotland or Northern Ireland ? they are in fact promissory notes.
Seven retail banks have the authority of HM Treasury to issue sterling banknotes as currency. Despite this, the notes can be refused at the discretion of recipients in England and Wales, and are often not accepted by banks and exchange bureaus outside of the United Kingdom. This is particularly true in the case of the Royal Bank of Scotland ?1 note, which is the only ?1 note to remain in circulation within the UK.
In 2000, the European Central Bank indicated that, should the United Kingdom join the euro, Scottish banks (and, by extension, Northern Ireland banks) would have to cease banknote issue. During the Financial crisis of 2007?2008, the future of private banknotes in the United Kingdom was uncertain. It has been suggested that the Banking Act 2009 would restrict the issue of banknotes by commercial banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland by removing many of the provisions of the Acts quoted above.Banks would be forced to lodge sterling.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHR53 - North Staffordshire oatcake shop where the mixture is cooked on a traditional baxton iron griddle, then filled with bacon, cheese, mushroom, tomatoes etc and a splash of sauce.
A North Staffordshire oatcake is a type of pancake made from oatmeal, flour and yeast. It is cooked on a griddle or 'baxton'. The oatcake is a local speciality in the North Staffordshire area of England. They are normally referred to as Staffordshire oatcakes or possibly Potteries oatcakes by non-locals, because they were made in this area. In and around Staffordshire and Cheshire they are often simply known as oatcakes.
Derbyshire oatcakes are similar to Staffordshire oatcakes, but while following a similar (or even the same) recipe are generally larger in diameter, and thicker. For example the same recipe will make four Derbyshire or twelve Staffordshire style oatcakes.
It was once common throughout the Potteries for oatcakes to be sold directly from the window of a house to customers on the street. The last producer in this style closed on the 25th of March 2012
however, there are many small commercial premises who sell oatcakes. Larger commercial enterprises exist that sell oatcakes to supermarkets and other large distribution chains.
Oatcakes can be a form of fast food. Catering outlets in the area usually offer oatcakes with fillings such as cheese, tomato, onion, bacon, sausage, and egg.
They can also be eaten with sweet fillings such as golden syrup, jam or banana, but this is less common and frowned upon by traditionalists. They are traditionally re-heated by steaming between two plates over a saucepan of water or nowadays by microwave, though some may prefer frying in butter or grilling.

A North Staffordshire oatcake is a type of pancake made from oatmeal, flour and yeast. It is cooked on a griddle or 'baxton'. The oatcake is a local speciality in the North Staffordshire area of England. They are normally referred to as Staffordshire oatcakes or possibly Potteries oatcakes by non-locals, because they were made in this area. In and around Staffordshire and Cheshire they are often simply known as oatcakes.
Derbyshire oatcakes are similar to Staffordshire oatcakes, but while following a similar (or even the same) recipe are generally larger in diameter, and thicker. For example the same recipe will make four Derbyshire or twelve Staffordshire style oatcakes.
It was once common throughout the Potteries for oatcakes to be sold directly from the window of a house to customers on the street. The last producer in this style closed on the 25th of March 2012
however, there are many small commercial premises who sell oatcakes. Larger commercial enterprises exist that sell oatcakes to supermarkets and other large distribution chains.
Oatcakes can be a form of fast food. Catering outlets in the area usually offer oatcakes with fillings such as cheese, tomato, onion, bacon, sausage, and egg.
They can also be eaten with sweet fillings such as golden syrup, jam or banana, but this is less common and frowned upon by traditionalists. They are traditionally re-heated by steaming between two plates over a saucepan of water or nowadays by microwave, though some may prefer frying in butter or grilling.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DE9ACA - On the edge of Chat Moss, in an area once full of collieries, lies the picturesque village of Astley Green. In the heart of the village stands Astley Green Colliery Museum which, but for the foresight of Lancashire County Council and several leading figures within the community, would have suffered the same fate as the other collieries in the area, total demolition. It was the uniqueness of the 3,300 hp twin tandem compound steam winding engine that brought the demolition to a halt. As the result of the intervention, the museum houses Lancashire's only surviving headgear and engine house, both of which now have listed building status.
The museum occupies some fifteen acres of the Astley Green Colliery site. To the south lies the Bridgewater Canal and Astley Moss, an important mossland site. The low-lying landscape ensures that the museum's 98ft high lattice steel headgear can be seen for many miles, a fitting memorial to days now past.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F0XDWE - The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor) is an 18th-century neoclassical triumphal arch in Berlin, and one of the best-known landmarks of Germany. It is built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel.
It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin, at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstra??e, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building. The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, the renowned boulevard of linden trees, which formerly led directly to the city palace of the Prussian monarchs.
It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by Carl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791. Having suffered considerable damage in World War II, the Brandenburg Gate was fully restored from 2000 to 2002 by the Stiftung Denkmalschutz Berlin (Berlin Monument Conservation Foundation).
During the post-war Partition of Germany, the gate was isolated and inaccessible immediately next to the Berlin Wall, and the area around the gate was featured most prominently in the media coverage of the tearing down of the wall in 1989.
Throughout its existence, the Brandenburg Gate was often a site for major historical events and is today considered a symbol of the tumultuous history of Europe and Germany, but also of European unity and peace.

It was a music time of change too. Older brothers ELP, Greenslade and Mott gave way to the filth and the fury.
Pub bands quickly morphed into punk bands. Belle Vue, The Mayflower and the Electric Circus was the baptism. Slaughter &
The Dogs, V2, Albertos, The Distractions and the Manchester Music Collective. Lifts to be scrounged, strange orange SELNEC bus journeys, photocopied fanzines.
John Peel was the daddy, 10 til 12 under the candlewick bedspread, then Piccadilly Records on Saturday to track down his faves. Which mostly became his faves, running through his life like letters in a stick of rock.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8FBDP - An ear is the grain-bearing tip part of the stem of a cereal plant, such as wheat or maize. It can also refer to a prominent lobe in some leaves.
The ear is a spike, consisting of a central stem on which grows tightly packed rows of flowers. These develop into fruits containing the edible seeds. In corn, it is protected by leaves called husks.
In some species (including wheat), unripe ears contribute significantly to photosynthesis, in addition to the leaves lower down the plant.
A parasite known as Anguina tritici (Ear Cockle) specifically affects the ears on wheat and rye by destroying the tissues and stems during growth. With exception to North Africa and West Asia, the parasite has been eradicated in all countries by using the crop rotation system

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF21Y9 - A moody and atmospheric view of the Bobby Sands mural painted on the side of a Sinn Fein office on the Falls Road in West Belfast, Northern Ireland. The mural depicts Bobby Sands, Irish republican hunger striker and Member of Parliament, whose death in 1981 became a defining moment in the history of the Troubles. Rendered in a muted, desaturated palette under heavy cloud, the image conveys the weight of political memory embedded within the urban streetscape.
The mural is framed by surrounding terraced housing and everyday street infrastructure, grounding this powerful symbol of conflict and resistance within a lived residential environment. In the foreground, children walk past the mural, introducing a striking contrast between the legacy of political struggle and the ordinariness of daily life. This juxtaposition reflects how history, identity and memory coexist within communities in West Belfast, where murals remain a prominent form of public expression.
Political murals along the Falls Road have long functioned as visual statements of identity, commemoration and resistance. They are part of a wider tradition of wall art in Northern Ireland that communicates historical narratives outside formal institutions, often serving as unofficial memorials and teaching tools for successive generations. The dark, brooding sky and subdued tones reinforce themes of loss, endurance and unresolved history.
This image is well suited for editorial use covering Northern Ireland politics, the Troubles, Irish republican history, peace and reconciliation, public art, memory and identity, as well as commercial editorial projects examining contested histories, urban communities and the long-term social impact of political conflict.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7YMJM - Manchester United Football Club is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, that currently competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.
Manchester United have won 20 league titles, the most of any English club, 11 FA Cups, four League Cups and a record 20 FA Community Shields. The club has also won three European Cups, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup. In 1998?99, the club became the first in the history of English football to achieve the treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
The 1958 Munich air disaster claimed the lives of eight players. In 1968, under the management of Matt Busby, Manchester United became the first English football club to win the European Cup. Alex Ferguson won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cups and 2 UEFA Champions Leagues, between 1986 and 2013, when he announced his retirement. Louis van Gaal is the club's current manager after Ferguson's successor David Moyes was sacked after only 10 months in charge.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KEW736 - Ian Kevin Curtis (15 July 1956 ? 18 May 1980) was an English musician. He was the lead singer and lyricist of the post-punk band Joy Division and recorded two albums with the group: Unknown Pleasures (1979) and Closer (1980). Curtis was known for his bass-baritone voice, dance style and songwriting typically filled with imagery of desolation, emptiness, and alienation.
Curtis had epilepsy and depression and died by suicide on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour and shortly before the release of Closer. Shortly after his death, the three surviving members of the band reconstituted themselves as New Order.
Curtis obtained a job at a record shop in Manchester City Centre, before obtaining more stable employment within the civil service. His employment as a civil servant saw Curtis initially deployed to Cheadle Hulme, where he worked for several months with the Ministry of Defence, before he was offered alternative employment within the Manpower Services Commission in a building at Piccadilly Gardens. He later worked as a civil servant in Woodford, Greater Manchester although, at his request, approximately one year later Curtis was posted to Macclesfield's Employment Exchange, where he worked as an Assistant Disablement Resettlement Officer.
On 23 August 1975, Curtis married Deborah Woodruff, to whom he was introduced by a friend, Tony Nuttall. Ian and Deborah initially became friends and then began dating in December 1972, when both were 16 years old. Their wedding service was conducted at St Thomas' Church in Henbury, Cheshire. Curtis was 19 and Woodruff 18. They had one child, a daughter named Natalie, born on 16 April 1979. Initially, the couple lived with Ian's grandparents, although shortly after their marriage the couple moved to a working-class neighbourhood in Chadderton, where they paid a mortgage while working in jobs neither enjoyed. Before long, the couple became disillusioned with life in Oldham and remortgaged their house

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AEDHXY - A large stadium screen displays the message Checking Penalty during a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester M11 3FF, home of Manchester City FC. The image captures a moment of pause during a live football match, as officials review a potential penalty decision using video technology.
VAR was introduced to elite football to assist referees in making accurate decisions on key incidents such as goals, penalties, red cards and cases of mistaken identity. Its use has significantly changed the rhythm and experience of matches, introducing breaks in play while decisions are reviewed by officials watching multiple camera angles.
Since its introduction in the Premier League, VAR has been the subject of sustained debate among players, managers, fans and commentators. Supporters argue that it improves fairness and reduces clear errors, while critics highlight issues such as delays, marginal decisions and the impact on spontaneous fan celebration. Penalty decisions in particular have proven controversial, often involving fine judgments on contact and intent.
The Etihad Stadium, one of the most modern football grounds in England, features large digital screens designed to communicate decisions to tens of thousands of spectators. Messages such as Checking Penalty have become a familiar part of the contemporary matchday experience, symbolising the increasing role of technology in elite sport.
Photographed during a live match with the crowd visible below the screen, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including technology in football, refereeing controversy, modern sports governance and the changing relationship between fans, officials and decision-making.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ0YXD - Cash use has been declining in Ireland in recent years, in particular during the pandemic. Central Bank statistics indicate that Irish ATM withdrawals were ?13 billion in 2021, compared to ?19.7 billion in 2019, a decline of 34 per cent.
The value of such withdrawals is now at about two-thirds of pre-pandemic levels, albeit they remain relatively stable at ?1 billion per month.
Central Bank raises concerns at sale of Republic's ATM network
Regulator says 75% of network will be under control of unregulated entities by end of year as banks sell up
The Central Bank has raised concerns with the Government that three-quarters of Ireland's ATM network will no longer be under the control of retail banks by the end of the year.
The issue of the ATM network and the closure of bricks and mortar bank branches has been a political hot potato for the Government due to concerns around how older and more vulnerable cohorts of society might cope with such changes.
The regulator has outlined concerns on the matter in a submission to the Department of Finance's Retail Banking Review public consultation.
It said retail banks are selling their off-site ATMs to independent ATM deployers which, it noted, are unregulated. Just 25 per cent of Ireland's ATM network will be owned by retail banks by the end of the year compared to 100 per cent in 2015, it said.
In-branch services are also reducing, it said, with the number of bank branches countrywide set to reduce by 32 per cent compared to 2019.
The trend towards the withdrawal of cash and other in-branch services is being driven by commercial decision making, it said. We expect banks to ensure that the impact of their decisions are considered carefully and with a consumer-focused approach. The impact for all consumers, including those who are vulnerable, must be assessed by banks, to ensure changes to branches and in-branch services are undertaken in an orderly manner. We expect that vulnerable customers will be accomodated

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BKDJGT - A traditional illuminated Guinness pub sign hanging from the exterior of an Irish pub in Dublin city centre, Ireland, photographed at dusk. The sign features the instantly recognisable Guinness branding, including a stylised pint of stout with a creamy head, set against a red background.
Guinness is one of Ireland's most iconic global brands and has been closely associated with Dublin since the eighteenth century. Hanging pub signs such as this are a familiar feature of the city's streetscape, particularly in historic areas where traditional pubs continue to play a central role in social and cultural life.
The warm glow of the illuminated sign contrasts with the surrounding brick and stone architecture and the fading evening light, evoking the atmosphere of Dublin's nightlife and hospitality scene. Street lamps and neighbouring buildings help frame the image within a lived-in urban environment.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use illustrating Irish pub culture, Dublin nightlife, iconic beer branding, tourism in Ireland, traditional hospitality, and urban street scenes in European capital cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NCX10K - Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).
Nearly three out of four adults will have hemorrhoids from time to time. Hemorrhoids have a number of causes, but often the cause is unknown.
Fortunately, effective options are available to treat hemorrhoids. Many people get relief with home treatments and lifestyle changes.
Your doctor might be able to see external hemorrhoids. Diagnosing internal hemorrhoids might include examination of your anal canal and rectum.
Digital examination. Your doctor inserts a gloved, lubricated finger into your rectum. He or she feels for anything unusual, such as growths.
Visual inspection. Because internal hemorrhoids are often too soft to be felt during a rectal exam, your doctor might examine the lower portion of your colon and rectum with an anoscope, proctoscope or sigmoidoscope.
Your doctor might want to examine your entire colon using colonoscopy if:
Your signs and symptoms suggest you might have another digestive system disease
You have risk factors for colorectal cancer
You are middle-aged and haven't had a recent colonoscopy

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P4JTD4 - JD Sports Fashion plc, more commonly known as JD Sports, JD or JD Group[3] is a British sports-fashion retail company based in Bury, Greater Manchester, England. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. Pentland Group owns 55% of the company.
History
A JD Sports store in Westfield Carousel, Perth
The company was established by John Wardle and David Makin (hence the name JD), trading from a single shop in Bury, Greater Manchester, in 1981. The company opened a store in the Arndale Centre in Manchester in 1983. Pentland Group bought Wardle's and Makin's shares for ?44.6M in May 2005, so acquiring 45% of the business.
Acquisitions
Early acquisitions of stores included 209 stores with the acquisition of First Sport from Blacks Leisure Group in December 2001 and 70 stores from the administrators of Allsports in October 2005

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2N482TN - How NHS bowel cancer screening scheme works, in the UK
You will be sent an invitation letter with information about bowel cancer screening. The information is to help you decide whether to take part. Then we send you a faecal immunochemical test, or ?FIT kit' for short. It detects blood in your poo (blood you would not notice by eye). We look for blood because polyps and bowel cancers sometimes bleed. Finding blood does not diagnose bowel cancer but it means you need further tests (usually a bowel examination).
Most people's screening result shows they do not need any further tests.
Some people will need further tests. If this is the case for you, we will offer you an appointment to talk about having a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy looks at the inside of your bowel. We use colonoscopy to find the source of the blood.
You use the FIT kit in the privacy of your home. It's a simple way to collect a tiny sample of poo. The kit (pictured below) is a small plastic bottle with a stick attached inside the lid. You use the stick to collect the sample, which you seal into the bottle. There are instructions with each kit.
Once used, you post the kit in its prepaid packaging to a laboratory for processing. Using the kit takes just a few minutes and it's an easy and effective way to screen for early bowel cancer.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ0YXH - Cash use has been declining in Ireland in recent years, in particular during the pandemic. Central Bank statistics indicate that Irish ATM withdrawals were ?13 billion in 2021, compared to ?19.7 billion in 2019, a decline of 34 per cent.
The value of such withdrawals is now at about two-thirds of pre-pandemic levels, albeit they remain relatively stable at ?1 billion per month.
Central Bank raises concerns at sale of Republic's ATM network
Regulator says 75% of network will be under control of unregulated entities by end of year as banks sell up
The Central Bank has raised concerns with the Government that three-quarters of Ireland's ATM network will no longer be under the control of retail banks by the end of the year.
The issue of the ATM network and the closure of bricks and mortar bank branches has been a political hot potato for the Government due to concerns around how older and more vulnerable cohorts of society might cope with such changes.
The regulator has outlined concerns on the matter in a submission to the Department of Finance's Retail Banking Review public consultation.
It said retail banks are selling their off-site ATMs to independent ATM deployers which, it noted, are unregulated. Just 25 per cent of Ireland's ATM network will be owned by retail banks by the end of the year compared to 100 per cent in 2015, it said.
In-branch services are also reducing, it said, with the number of bank branches countrywide set to reduce by 32 per cent compared to 2019.
The trend towards the withdrawal of cash and other in-branch services is being driven by commercial decision making, it said. We expect banks to ensure that the impact of their decisions are considered carefully and with a consumer-focused approach. The impact for all consumers, including those who are vulnerable, must be assessed by banks, to ensure changes to branches and in-branch services are undertaken in an orderly manner. We expect that vulnerable customers will be accomodated

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMXAF - An atmospheric interior view of the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester city centre, photographed inside the grand former Royal Exchange building at St Ann's Square. The scene is dominated by the vast glazed dome overhead, tinted with cool violet-blue light, while the lower hall is washed in warm amber illumination that gives the space a theatrical, almost cathedral-like mood. At the heart of the building sits the distinctive theatre-in-the-round structure, a modern suspended performance pod framed by stairways, platforms and rigging, contrasting sharply with the historic architecture that surrounds it.
A lone man in a dark coat crosses the floor, small against the scale of the hall, adding a strong sense of proportion and human narrative. The motion blur suggests steady movement through a public cultural space, as if arriving early, leaving late, or simply drifting through the building's calm between performances. The surrounding walls and balconies hint at the venue's layered history, from civic monument to working exchange and now one of the most recognisable theatres in the UK.
The Royal Exchange building was originally a Victorian trading hall closely associated with Manchester's mercantile and cotton-era identity. Today, the same volume of space has been repurposed for arts and performance, a visual shorthand for Manchester's wider story of reinvention: commerce becoming culture, industry becoming experience. The lighting, architecture and solitary figure combine to evoke themes of urban identity, heritage, regeneration, culture, and the lived atmosphere of a Northern English city.
This image is suitable for editorial and commercial use illustrating theatre and performing arts, Manchester landmarks, British architecture, historic interiors, cultural tourism, city life, public spaces, and the transformation of heritage buildings into modern civic venues.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HF85 - A moody dusk street scene in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, showing a lone man walking along Rue Saint-Dominique past the Thoumieux restaurant at number 79. The restaurant's vertical red neon sign glows against the muted tones of the surrounding buildings, casting warm light onto the pavement and contrasting with the cool blue-grey sky above. The narrow street stretches toward the Eiffel Tower, which rises faintly in the distance and anchors the scene unmistakably within the Parisian cityscape.
The composition captures an everyday moment of Parisian life rather than a staged tourist view. Parked cars line the street, shopfronts are closed or dimly lit, and the pedestrian moves forward with purpose, suggesting routine, familiarity and solitude rather than spectacle. The lighting and perspective create a cinematic atmosphere, evoking themes of evening transition, urban rhythm and the quiet intervals between daytime activity and nightlife.
Rue Saint-Dominique runs through one of Paris's most established residential and dining districts, close to the Seine and the Champ de Mars. The presence of the Thoumieux restaurant, a long-standing name in Parisian gastronomy, reinforces associations with food culture, local neighbourhood life and understated elegance. The red neon signage adds a distinctly European visual language, recalling mid-twentieth-century caf?? and brasserie traditions.
This image is well suited for editorial use covering Parisian life, French culture, travel and tourism, urban solitude and everyday street scenes, as well as commercial applications requiring atmospheric imagery of Paris at dusk, European city living, gastronomy districts and cinematic urban environments.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HF2D - Pulmicort Asthma Inhaler with box with braille markings, held by a user of this medication.
What Is Pulmicort?
Pulmicort is an inhaled steroid used to control asthma symptoms. Pulmicort, along with other inhaled steroids like Flovent, is considered first-line treatment when you need more than occasional use of a rescue inhaler for your asthma. Pulmicort can be prescribed by itself or combined with a long-acting beta agonist to prevent asthma symptoms such as:
Wheezing
Chest tightness
Shortness of breath
Chronic cough
How Does Pulmicort Work?
Pulmicort reduces inflammation in the lungs and decreases airway hyper-responsiveness. By acting directly in the lungs, your airways are also less likely to respond to an asthma trigger.
Additionally, Pulmicort's benefits result from its action on a number of different cell types involved in the pathophysiology of asthma:
Basophils
Eosinophils
Lymphocytes
Macrophages
Mast Cells
Neutrophils
The decreased inflammation, mucus production, and hyperreponsiveness leads to a decrease in your asthma symptoms. Unlike your rescue inhaler, Pulmicort controls chronic asthma symptoms and should be taken daily in order to be effective.
How Is Pulmicort Prescribed?
Pulmicort is prescribed in 2 different forms. Pulmicort Respules are an inhalation suspension delivered via a special nebulizer and are available in several different strengths. Pulmicort is also available via a dry inhaled powder that is similar to a metered dose inhaler. Generally, you will take Pulmicort daily no matter how well your asthma symptoms are controlled. If your asthma control is excellent, talk with your doctor about considering a decrease in your medication.
The active component in Pulmicort, budesonide, is also in Symbicort, combination asthma inhaler, and in Rhinocort, a nasal spray for allergies. .

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0NA2 - A winter dusk view from The Vennel, a historic stepped alleyway off Browns Place in Edinburgh's Old Town, photographed at Edinburgh EH1 2HU. The image looks uphill towards Edinburgh Castle, dramatically positioned on its volcanic rock and silhouetted against a dark, moody evening sky. Light snow dusts the stone steps and surrounding rooftops, enhancing the sense of seasonal stillness and historic atmosphere.
The Vennel is one of Edinburgh's most distinctive medieval routes, its narrow stepped form reflecting the city's dense, vertical urban development that evolved within the constraints of defensive walls and steep terrain. Such passages once connected residential areas, workshops and places of worship, forming part of the everyday circulation of life in Scotland's capital for centuries.
The warm glow of traditional street lamps contrasts with the cold tones of the snow and sky, creating a scene often associated with romantic, literary and cinematic depictions of Edinburgh. Views of Edinburgh Castle from the Old Town are among the most iconic in Scotland, symbolising national history, royal power and the city's role as a centre of culture, governance and heritage.
Photographed in low light at dusk, the image captures Edinburgh as both a living city and a preserved historic environment, blending medieval architecture, winter weather and atmospheric lighting. The scene holds strong editorial appeal for themes of Scottish heritage, winter travel, historic European cities, romantic urban landscapes and cultural tourism, offering a timeless portrayal of Edinburgh's enduring character.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYGA2 - A dramatic dusk view of Chester Town Hall in the historic city centre of Chester, Cheshire, photographed during blue hour under a richly textured deep blue sky. The ornate Gothic Revival facade of the town hall is fully illuminated, revealing intricate stone detailing, arched windows and the prominent clock tower that dominates the surrounding streetscape. Warm street lighting contrasts with the cool tones of the evening sky, creating a strong sense of atmosphere and architectural presence.
Chester Town Hall stands at the heart of one of England's most historic cities, originally founded as the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. The building reflects Chester's long civic tradition and its role as an administrative and cultural centre for the surrounding region of North West England. Nearby streets and historic buildings frame the scene, reinforcing the layered urban history that blends Roman, medieval and Victorian influences within a compact city centre.
The relative calm of the streets at dusk allows the building to take visual prominence, while the glowing lamps and illuminated windows suggest civic continuity and public life beyond office hours. The blue hour lighting emphasises both scale and detail, making the structure instantly recognisable as a symbol of local identity and heritage.
This image is well suited for editorial use covering British architecture, local government, heritage cities, travel and tourism in England, and historic urban environments, as well as commercial applications requiring atmospheric evening imagery of a well-known UK civic landmark.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMWGM - An evening exterior view of Buxton Opera House, a landmark Victorian theatre located in the centre of Buxton, Derbyshire, photographed at dusk under a deep blue twilight sky. The ornate stone facade of the opera house is warmly illuminated, highlighting its domed roof, classical detailing and grand entrance, while the surrounding town square and adjacent historic buildings frame the scene. The contrast between the glowing interior lights and the darkening sky creates a strong sense of atmosphere associated with the transition from day to night in a historic English spa town.
Designed by renowned theatre architect Frank Matcham and opened in the early twentieth century, Buxton Opera House is one of the finest surviving examples of Edwardian theatre architecture in the United Kingdom. It remains a central part of the town's cultural life, hosting theatre, opera, music and touring productions, and continues Buxton's long association with arts, leisure and tourism linked to its spa heritage and proximity to the Peak District.
The image captures the opera house as both an architectural statement and a living civic space, conveying themes of culture, heritage, and evening urban life in a provincial British town. Street lighting, reflections on paving, and subtle movement around the entrance suggest activity without overwhelming the calm dignity of the building itself. The scene reflects the enduring role of historic theatres as focal points of community and cultural identity outside major cities.
This photograph is well suited for editorial use covering theatre, arts and culture, historic architecture, British towns, travel and tourism in Derbyshire and the East Midlands, as well as commercial applications requiring a recognisable and atmospheric image of a UK cultural landmark at dusk.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMX1N - A festive winter dusk scene at the Edinburgh Christmas fair in Princes Street Gardens, showing brightly illuminated amusement rides glowing against a deep blue evening sky in the heart of Scotland's capital city. The image features a traditional helter skelter tower and a swing carousel decorated with red, white and warm golden lights, creating a strong visual contrast with the surrounding darkness and bare winter trees. The lights spill across the gardens, reflecting the lively atmosphere of Edinburgh's annual winter festival.
In the background, historic city centre buildings along Princes Street rise above the gardens, anchoring the fair firmly within Edinburgh's urban landscape. The location, close to the former Jenners department store, is one of the city's most recognisable public spaces and becomes a focal point each winter for seasonal events, attracting residents and tourists alike. Blurred figures moving through the scene suggest crowds in motion, reinforcing the sense of energy, cold-weather activity and festive excitement typical of the Christmas period.
Princes Street Gardens sits between Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town and regularly hosts major civic celebrations. During the winter months it is transformed into a temporary amusement park and Christmas attraction, symbolising the city's role as a cultural and tourism destination during the festive season. The combination of fairground rides, historic architecture, winter trees and twilight lighting conveys themes of celebration, seasonal leisure, urban life and tourism in a European capital city.
This image is well suited for editorial use relating to Christmas, winter festivals, city tourism, seasonal events, public celebrations and Scottish urban life, as well as commercial applications requiring atmospheric winter imagery from a major UK city.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DG373Y - While provincial banks in England and Wales lost the right to issue paper currency altogether, the practice of private banknote issue has continued in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The right of Scottish banks to issue notes is popularly attributed to the author Sir Walter Scott, who in 1826 waged a campaign to retain Scottish banknotes under the pseudonym Malachi Malagrowther.
Scott feared that the limitation on private banknotes proposed with the Bankers (Scotland) Act 1826 would be have adverse economic consequences if enacted in Scotland because gold and silver were scarce and Scottish commerce relied on small notes as the principal medium of circulating money. His action eventually halted the abolition of private banknotes in Scotland.
Scottish and Northern Irish banknotes are unusual, firstly because they are issued by retail banks, not central banks, and secondly, as they are not legal tender anywhere in the UK ? not even in Scotland or Northern Ireland ? they are in fact promissory notes.
Seven retail banks have the authority of HM Treasury to issue sterling banknotes as currency. Despite this, the notes can be refused at the discretion of recipients in England and Wales, and are often not accepted by banks and exchange bureaus outside of the United Kingdom. This is particularly true in the case of the Royal Bank of Scotland ?1 note, which is the only ?1 note to remain in circulation within the UK.
In 2000, the European Central Bank indicated that, should the United Kingdom join the euro, Scottish banks (and, by extension, Northern Ireland banks) would have to cease banknote issue. During the Financial crisis of 2007?2008, the future of private banknotes in the United Kingdom was uncertain. It has been suggested that the Banking Act 2009 would restrict the issue of banknotes by commercial banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland by removing many of the provisions of the Acts quoted above.Banks would be forced to lodge sterling.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF8BK4 - A moody dusk scene within the historic Old College of the University of Edinburgh, showing the neoclassical stone buildings surrounding the central courtyard at South College Street and South Bridge in Edinburgh's Old Town. The imposing architecture, constructed in pale sandstone and crowned by a domed central structure, is set beneath heavy, textured cloud cover that deepens the sense of atmosphere and academic gravitas. The soft, fading light accentuates the worn surfaces, arches and balustrades, revealing centuries of use and civic presence.
In the foreground, a solitary figure stands within the courtyard, adding scale and a quiet human narrative to the monumental surroundings. Ornate iron street lighting and stone steps frame the approach to the buildings, reinforcing the formal layout typical of major eighteenth and nineteenth-century university architecture. The Talbot Rice Gallery, housed within Old College, forms part of this complex, linking contemporary art and culture with one of Scotland's most significant educational institutions.
Old College has long symbolised Edinburgh's role as a centre of learning, philosophy and intellectual life, closely associated with the Scottish Enlightenment and the city's reputation as the Athens of the North. The restrained colour palette, subdued lighting and dramatic sky combine to create an image that feels contemplative and slightly austere, reflecting the seriousness traditionally associated with academia and civic authority.
This image is well suited for editorial use covering higher education, university life, architecture, Scottish history, culture and urban heritage, as well as commercial applications requiring atmospheric imagery of historic institutions, European universities and moody city environments.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF7D6R - A winter dusk view of the National Gallery of Scotland, part of the Edinburgh National Galleries, photographed from the Playfair Steps on The Mound in central Edinburgh. The neoclassical gallery building is illuminated against a deep blue evening sky, while snow covers the steps and surrounding pavements, reflecting the warm glow of street lamps and gallery lighting.
Blurred figures moving across the steps suggest pedestrian activity captured using a longer exposure, adding a sense of motion and life to the cold winter scene. Black iron railings frame the foreground, while the elevated position on The Mound provides a strong architectural perspective across this key cultural site linking Edinburgh's Old Town and New Town.
The National Gallery of Scotland houses one of the country's most important art collections and sits at the heart of Edinburgh's cultural and civic landscape. The image conveys themes of winter weather, urban atmosphere, culture, and tourism in Scotland's capital city, making it suitable for editorial use relating to travel, arts coverage, museums, seasonal city life, and European capital destinations, as well as commercial design projects seeking an atmospheric winter city image.
