Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NAWF7N - J. S. Fry & Sons, Ltd., better known as Fry's, was a British chocolate company owned by Joseph Storrs Fry and his family. Beginning in Bristol in the 18th century, the business went through several changes of name and ownership, becoming J. S. Fry & Sons in 1822. In 1847, Fry's produced the first solid chocolate bar. The company also created the first filled chocolate sweet, Cream Sticks, in 1853. Fry is most famous for Fry's Chocolate Cream, the first mass-produced chocolate bar, which was launched in 1866, and Fry's Turkish Delight, launched in 1914.
Fry, alongside Cadbury and Rowntree's, was one of the big three British confectionery manufacturers throughout much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and all three companies were founded by Quakers. The company became a division of Cadbury in the early twentieth century. The division's Somerdale Factory near Bristol was closed after the 2010 takeover of Cadbury's by Kraft Foods Inc

The church is approached through the south porch by 26 steps arranged in a semicircle. The south wall contains a former priest's doorway which has been walled up and its steps removed. The tower has on its west face a two-light window, above which is a pair of windows and above these is a circular clock. The belfry windows have two lights and are louvred.

People queue on the pavement, enter the shop and look through the window displays, creating a lively picture of everyday food shopping and visitor activity in one of central London's best-known cultural and dining districts.
The frontage carries prominent Chinatown Bakery branding in English alongside Chinese-language signage. Red lanterns and other traditional decorations hang above Gerrard Street, while the bright red, purple and gold shopfront contributes to the distinctive visual identity of London's Chinatown. Inside, customers can buy a range of Chinese and East Asian baked goods, including sweet and savoury buns, pastries, cakes and desserts. The shop's takeaway format and central location make it popular with local residents, workers, tourists and visitors exploring Soho and the West End.
Gerrard Street forms the heart of London's Chinatown, an area known for its concentration of Chinese, Cantonese and wider East Asian restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets and specialist food businesses. The district developed its modern identity during the second half of the twentieth century and is now a major visitor destination close to Leicester Square, Shaftesbury Avenue and the wider West End entertainment district.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JH06Y7 - . Two bakeries Leigh Greenhalghs & Pound Bakery, 41 Bradshawgate, Leigh, Lancashire, England, UK, WN7 4NB. Photographed on 13 July 2022. Poundbakery is a bakery chain in the United Kingdom, which specializes in savory products such as pies, pasties, sausage rolls, sandwich, and sweet products including doughnuts and muffins. It was established in Bolton, England by Sayers in 2010. The historical context is that everyday food and drink sit within wider histories of farming, manufacturing, retail and hospitality
Ingredients and brands that appear ordinary at one moment can later become useful markers of changing diets, packaging, provenance and food fashion. The wider historical story is that markets and high-street businesses combine commercial history with everyday social life
Their changing occupiers, branding and uses document local economies, consumer culture, town-centre regeneration and the long shift from traditional retailing towards mixed shopping, food and leisure destinations. The subject remains topical in 2026 because food affordability, provenance, packaging waste and the environmental impact of supply chains remain prominent themes
Images of local produce, imported goods, home cooking and food retail can connect everyday consumption with those broader economic and sustainability debates. In the present 2026 context, high streets still change rapidly as retailers respond to online competition, costs and changing footfall
Government support for community assets and town-centre renewal gives photographs of independent shops, markets and former businesses added relevance to stories about regeneration and local economies. In 2026, food affordability, provenance, packaging waste and the environmental impact of supply chains remain prominent themes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HD9T - The Menai Suspension Bridge (Welsh: Pont Grog y Borth) is a suspension bridge between the island of Anglesey and the mainland of Wales. Designed by Thomas Telford and completed in 1826, it was the first modern suspension bridge in the world.
Here shown at sunset in winter, with the mountains behind covered in snowfall.
Before the bridge was completed in 1826, the island had no fixed connection to the mainland and all movements to and from Anglesey were by ferry (or, with difficulty, on foot at low tide). The main source of income on Anglesey was from the sale of cattle, and to move them to the markets of the inland counties or London, they had to be driven into the water and swum across the Menai Straits.
The Act of Union 1800 increased the need for transport to Ireland, and with Holyhead as one of the principal terminals to Dublin it was decided to build a bridge.
Thomas Telford was assigned the task of improving the route from London to Holyhead, and one of the key improvements was his design of the suspension bridge over the Menai Strait between a point near Bangor on the mainland and the village of Porthaethwy (which is now also known as Menai Bridge) on Anglesey. The design of the bridge had to allow for Royal Navy sailing ships 100 feet (30 m) tall to pass under the deck at high tide, and no scaffolding was allowed during construction as that would have violated the rule.
Construction of the bridge began in 1819 with the towers on either side of the strait. These were constructed from Penmon limestone and were hollow with internal cross-walls. Then came the sixteen huge chain cables, each made of 935 iron bars that support the 176-metre (577 ft) span. To avoid rusting between manufacture and use, the iron was soaked in linseed oil and later painted. The suspending power of the chains was calculated at 2,016 tons and the total weight of each chain was 121 tons. The bridge was opened to much fanfare on 30 January 1826.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EME6JP - Bright red Count Binface campaign placard displayed in public gardens during the Makerfield by-election in Greater Manchester, England. The poster reads Vote Binface For Us and Wigan Kebabs capped at £2 , with a cartoon-style image of Count Binface beside the slogan. A Galloways Bakers shop is visible in the background, adding strong local context because Wigan and the wider borough are closely associated with pies, pasties, bread rolls and northern bakery culture. The joke refers to the Wigan kebab, a local food nickname commonly understood as a pie served on a barm, roll or bread cake, and turns that regional humour into a mock election promise. The image is useful for editorial coverage of Count Binface, satirical candidates, protest politics, comedy campaigning, local by-elections, voter disillusionment and the more eccentric side of British democracy. It also works for stories about political branding, election posters, street campaigning, humour in public life and the way candidates use recognisable local food references to connect with voters. The setting gives the image extra value: rather than a generic campaign portrait, it places the joke poster in a visible town-centre or neighbourhood garden scene, with shops, greenery and a bakery frontage behind it. For picture buyers, the combination of readable slogan, strong red colour, named candidate, local bakery background and specific Makerfield by-election context makes the image suitable for news, features, opinion pieces and light-hearted political analysis. It can illustrate how fringe and satirical candidates use absurd pledges to cut through a crowded election campaign, while still pointing to themes such as the cost of living, food prices, local identity and distrust of mainstream politics. Count Binface's £2 Wigan kebab pledge was reported as part of his Makerfield campaign, giving the image a topical hook as well as comic regional appeal.
