Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJD0GB - Vertical-format street photograph of an inclusive crowded outdoor terrace at Velvet on Canal Street in Manchester's Gay Village, with drinkers, couples and friends sitting close together at tables filled with pints, wine glasses, cocktails, soft drinks and an orange ice bucket. The portrait frame emphasises the packed pavement, red-brick bar frontages, dark parasols, hanging plants and the flow of people moving between the bars. Velvet's signage is visible on the right, placing the scene at one of Canal Street's established hospitality venues. Green trees, bare shoulders, short sleeves, sunglasses and bright outdoor light suggest warm spring or summer weather, although the sky is mostly hidden by buildings and foliage.
The scene is useful because it shows Manchester's queer quarter as a lived social place rather than only a night-time destination. Canal Street is famous for LGBTQ+ nightlife, Pride culture, drag, hotels, restaurants and late licensing, but this picture captures its daytime and early-evening character: visitors on a city break, friends meeting after work, couples sharing drinks, tourists walking through, and hospitality spilling into the public realm. The tables are busy but relaxed, with people facing one another, chatting and watching the street, giving the photograph a strong sense of sociable urban leisure.
Velvet is listed at 2 Canal Street, while Visit Manchester promotes Canal Street and the Gay Village as a major visitor area in the city. This has strong editorial and commercial stock value for features on LGBTQ+ tourism, inclusive city breaks, outdoor hospitality, Manchester Pride, the night-time economy, queer visibility, pavement drinking, canalside regeneration, visitor spending and the changing use of city-centre streets. It can also support stories about safe public spaces, bar culture, tourism pressure and how famous nightlife districts operate as daytime social landmarks as well as after-dark entertainment zones.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJ11Y1 - An ACME Diabolik Multigame gambling machine installed inside the Esso Amoil On The Road Café and service area at Viale Generale Cannada 531 in Barrafranca, Sicily, Italy. The upright electronic gaming cabinet has a curved upper display carrying the words Diabolik Multigame , while the lower screen shows the brightly coloured Lion game with safari-style imagery, reels and illuminated control buttons beneath it.
The machine stands alongside other gaming cabinets in a dedicated indoor area, illustrating the widespread presence of amusement-with-prizes and video gambling equipment in Italian bars, cafés, tobacconists and roadside service businesses. Its polished black and chrome casing, dual-screen arrangement, vivid graphics and illuminated push-button controls are designed to attract attention and encourage play. The display also includes regulatory and age-related notices, reflecting the controlled nature of legal gambling machines in Italy.
The location combines fuel sales with a café, bar, tobacco counter, hot food, lottery products, bill payment and other services for local customers and motorists. Adding electronic gaming machines extends the range of leisure and revenue-generating facilities offered within the premises. Barrafranca lies in the inland Sicilian territory of Enna, where petrol stations and roadside cafés often act as multipurpose stopping places serving residents, commercial drivers and travellers.
The photograph documents gambling culture, electronic entertainment, cash gaming, consumer leisure and the commercial diversification of an Italian service station. It also records the visual design of a multigame cabinet, including the Diabolik branding and Lion title, within an everyday non-casino environment. The image is relevant to editorial themes including responsible gambling, gaming regulation, gambling accessibility, addiction risk, roadside hospitality, Italian café culture and the economics of small retail businesses

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJ11Y4 - Brightly coloured Gratta e Vinci instant scratch-card lottery display inside the Esso Amoil On The Road Café at Viale Generale Cannada 531 in Barrafranca, Sicily, Italy. The yellow and black branded stand carries the large wording Gratta e Vinci and Gratta Qui , inviting customers to scratch their tickets at the point of sale. A small shelf and disposal opening are built into the unit, while the front panel asks players who have not won to place their used ticket in the container and help protect the environment.
Behind the stand is a large lottery information board showing ticket ranges, prize structures and other gaming products available from the retailer. Additional displays and counter equipment indicate a multipurpose service-area business combining fuel, refreshments, tobacco sales, lottery products and convenience services. The setting illustrates how instant-win games are promoted in everyday Italian retail environments rather than only in dedicated betting shops or casinos.
Gratta e Vinci is one of Italy's most recognisable scratch-card brands, sold through authorised outlets including bars, tobacconists, cafés and petrol stations. Customers buy a printed ticket, remove the covering from designated play areas and immediately discover whether a prize has been won. The eye-catching yellow branding, oversized lettering and hand-shaped logo are designed for strong visibility beside the till and other impulse-purchase products.
Photographed in a roadside café in inland Sicily, the scene provides an editorial record of Italian lottery culture, legal gambling, consumer spending and point-of-sale marketing. It also reflects the role of petrol-station cafés as local service hubs for motorists and residents. Relevant themes include instant lotteries, scratch tickets, gambling accessibility, responsible play, small retail revenue, impulse buying, cash prizes and branded display furniture in a public-facing hospitality settin

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8PTXE - Handwritten chalkboard advertises an £18 full English breakfast and a £28 Breakfast of Champions at Silverstone Woodlands campsite during the British Formula One Grand Prix weekend in July. The sign stands on dry summer grass outside The Ox pub and restaurant marquee, with picnic benches, temporary catering structures and colourful event decoration visible behind it. The informal scene captures the high prices that visitors can encounter for food and drink at major sporting events, especially when staying for several days at a busy race-weekend campsite.
Silverstone Woodlands is located beside Silverstone Circuit near Gates 14 and 15 at Club Corner. It provides tent pitches, campervan spaces, pre-pitched tents and glamping for Formula One spectators, together with bars, food traders, entertainment and other temporary facilities. During the Grand Prix, thousands of fans stay close to the circuit so they can walk to the track and continue socialising after the racing has finished.
The £28 breakfast offer provides a striking example of event pricing and the wider cost of attending Formula One. Beyond race tickets, visitors may pay for camping, travel, parking, food, drinks and entertainment across a long weekend. Caterers operating temporary venues also face staffing, transport, equipment, refrigeration, licensing, power, waste and supply costs, although customers may still regard £28 for breakfast as unusually expensive.
This documentary image is useful for editorial themes involving Formula One tourism, inflation, hospitality pricing, cost-of-living pressures, festival food, campsite catering, consumer spending and the commercial economy surrounding major sports events. The chalk lettering, weathered grass and temporary marquee give the photograph an authentic race-camping atmosphere, while the phrase Breakfast of Champions playfully links a substantial morning meal with elite motor racing and the celebratory culture of the British Grand Prix.

The picture is not just a record shot: it contains public house signs, frontage, street activity or drinking culture details useful for hospitality and heritage features. Warrington's Time Square development and market area are part of the town centre's attempt to combine food, events, independent traders and civic leisure around a modern public square. It could support features on pubs, beer, leisure, nightlife, tourism, heritage streets, local economies, independent hospitality and the pressures facing town-centre venues.

The composition gives designers scope for captions, page furniture, social media crops, report covers and article thumbnails, while the detailed captioning makes it more discoverable for searches using both specific place names and broader themes. Because the subject is clearly labelled or visually distinctive, it can also work well in search-led usage where the buyer needs immediate recognition at small web-preview size.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX189J - Hancock & Wood department store on Bridge Street in Warrington town centre, photographed in daylight with a prominent Final Clearance banner, 70% off sale messaging and posters in the windows as the long-established family business prepares to close in 2026 after 112 years. Founded in 1914 by Frederick Hancock, the independent store traded from the same site for more than a century and remained one of Warrington's oldest and best-known retailers. Passed down through generations of the Hancock family, the business became a familiar part of the town's shopping life, combining fashion, gifts, accessories and a cafe under one historic high street frontage. This image captures a poignant late chapter in the store's story. The yellow vertical clearance sign, advertising substantial reductions, signals the wind-down of a landmark local business rather than a routine seasonal promotion. In announcing the closure, the owners said the decision had not been taken lightly and pointed to the growing burden of employment costs, public utilities, business rates and the volume of legislation now facing independent retailers. Their statement also thanked staff, customers and suppliers, past and present, for helping sustain the business over its long history. The photograph reflects wider pressures on traditional bricks-and-mortar town-centre retailing in Britain. Large premises, staffing, energy costs, insurance, compliance requirements and stockholding all weigh heavily on independents, while online shopping, retail parks and changing consumer habits continue to erode footfall. Even much-loved local stores with loyal customers can struggle to remain viable in such conditions. As a documentary image, this scene records both the visible final clearance sale and the broader decline of long-established department stores on the British high street, preserving a moment of commercial and social history in Warrington.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMR2 - This image shows the exterior of The Nags Head public house, located on Orford Road in Walthamstow, East London. The traditional neighbourhood pub is pictured in bright summer daylight, with outdoor tables and chairs arranged along the pavement, creating an informal street dining and socialising space.
The building frontage features colourful painted woodwork and large windows opening onto the street, typical of London public houses that combine food, drink and community use. Parasols and planted areas soften the streetscape, while the quiet residential setting reflects the village atmosphere of Walthamstow, a popular destination for local residents and visitors alike.
Outdoor seating areas such as this have become an important part of urban hospitality, particularly during warmer months, supporting casual dining, social interaction and neighbourhood life. The image conveys a relaxed, welcoming environment and is suitable for illustrating themes of leisure, travel, lifestyle, food and drink, and contemporary urban living in London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NK2804 - Pret A Manger /ˈprɛt ə ˈmɒ̃ʒeɪ/ (prêt à manger is French for ready to eat) is an international sandwich shop franchise chain based in the United Kingdom, popularly referred to as Pret, founded in 1983. As of December 2022, Pret had 434 shops in the UK, including 273 in London, plus three Veggie Prets, which focus exclusively on vegetarian and vegan options. It also has shops in France, the US, Hong Kong and several other countries. Around 90% of all Pret shops worldwide donate their unsold fresh food to local charities, giving more than 16,000 sandwiches, wraps, salads and baguettes every day to homeless shelters and charities.
Two university friends, Sinclair Beecham and Julian Metcalfe, purchased the original Pret after bancrupcy.
In 1995, Metcalfe and Beecham set up The Pret Foundation, to help alleviate poverty in the UK. The Pret Foundation received donations from collection boxes in shops, funding a fleet of electric vans that deliver unsold food to homeless shelters at the end of each day, including FareShare, The Felix Project and City Harvest. The Pret Foundation has awarded over £7 million to over 100 charities across the UK, tackling homelessness, hunger and poverty.
The first shop outside London was opened on Broad Street, New York, in 2000, and by 2016, there were 74 Pret shops across the United States. In 2001, McDonald's bought a 33% non-controlling stake in the company, which they sold in 2008 to the private equity firm Bridgepoint Capital.
Pret a Manger Staff Union
In response to labour issues within the company, the Pret a Manger Staff Union was established in 2012 as an independent union with its principal demand being made around calls for a Living Wage. Andrej Stopa, the founder of the union, was later sacked from his Pret branch.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF8NX - Gerard Winstanley House which was formerly the towns magistrates court and police station but is now the home of a multi-arts thriving creative community.
It is a Grade II listed building dating back to around 1887 and of course, the first thing that hits you is the brickwork. The official records describe it as red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings and a slate roof.
The buildings stand on Crawford Street opposite the small little garden that belongs to the Parish Church of All Saints and it really does cut a very imposing figure from a seat in that garden.
But the dramatic architecture doesn't stop there - not only do we have the amazing red brickwork and intricate dressings, but we have towers and turrets too! The spiked tower at the bottom end of Crawford Street rises high above the brickwork pointing right up to the often dark skies above.
This is where the main entrance to the courts was, its large welcoming doorway still a big feature of the facade. The symmetry and absolute craftsmanship of the building never fail to impress
These days the courts and police station have long gone, updated and replaced elsewhere in the town and everyone wondered what might happen to this magnificent building.
Would it go to rack and ruin like so many other buildings in the town, or would there be new life breathed into it, would it get a second chance?
The answer was firmly YES as the building was purchased and occupied by The Old Courts who have transformed the place and have refurbished the interior (still an ongoing project) to provide Art Galleries, a Theatre, a Live Music venue, a Cafe, a Record store, Band rehearsal rooms, Conference and Events space and even a bar.
Bailiff Bar is at the very bottom of the building around the corner from Crawford Street and on to King Street West.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P4JWWP - Bold Street is a street in Liverpool, England. It is known for its cafés and for the Church of St Luke, which is situated at the top end. The bottom end leads into the area surrounding Clayton Square, which is part of the main retail district of central Liverpool. The bottom end contains more shops which are chain stores. Liverpool Central, a major hub of the Merseyrail rapid transit/commuter rail network, can also be accessed via an entrance on Bold Street next to The Lyceum, a post office which was Europe's first lending library. The middle area contains bars as it leads towards Concert Square, a square containing clubs and bars, and the top end contains more independent shops and cafes. For the most part, Bold Street is pedestrianised and cars do not have access.
History
Bold Street was originally laid out as a ropewalk
a long thin area of land used in the manufacture of rope (the area is now known as 'Rope Walks'). They used to measure the rope from the top of Bold Street to the bottom because it was the standard length needed for sailing ships. It was laid out for residences around 1780 and named after Jonas Bold, a noted sugar trader and banker. In 1802 Bold became Mayor of Liverpool.
Merchants that worked on the docks needed houses close by. Therefore, houses were constructed in Hanover Street first, followed by Duke Street and then Bold Street. The fields that were in the area earlier were also developed quickly into houses. Although there had been port-related industrial activity in the area, with roperies occupying the site of what is now Bold Street to supply the sailing ships, this intensified along with a demand for residential properties so that the merchants could be located close to their business interests.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P4JX5N - Bold Street is a street in Liverpool, England. It is known for its cafés and for the Church of St Luke, which is situated at the top end. The bottom end leads into the area surrounding Clayton Square, which is part of the main retail district of central Liverpool. The bottom end contains more shops which are chain stores. Liverpool Central, a major hub of the Merseyrail rapid transit/commuter rail network, can also be accessed via an entrance on Bold Street next to The Lyceum, a post office which was Europe's first lending library. The middle area contains bars as it leads towards Concert Square, a square containing clubs and bars, and the top end contains more independent shops and cafes. For the most part, Bold Street is pedestrianised and cars do not have access.
History
Bold Street was originally laid out as a ropewalk
a long thin area of land used in the manufacture of rope (the area is now known as 'Rope Walks'). They used to measure the rope from the top of Bold Street to the bottom because it was the standard length needed for sailing ships. It was laid out for residences around 1780 and named after Jonas Bold, a noted sugar trader and banker. In 1802 Bold became Mayor of Liverpool.
Merchants that worked on the docks needed houses close by. Therefore, houses were constructed in Hanover Street first, followed by Duke Street and then Bold Street. The fields that were in the area earlier were also developed quickly into houses. Although there had been port-related industrial activity in the area, with roperies occupying the site of what is now Bold Street to supply the sailing ships, this intensified along with a demand for residential properties so that the merchants could be located close to their business interests.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WXF - This image shows the interior of a café in York featuring individual work pods, designed to provide quiet, semi-private spaces for customers working remotely or studying. The pods are constructed with simple, modern materials including plywood panels and muted painted surfaces, reflecting contemporary café and coworking design trends.
Visible signage lists a range of teas and drinks, reinforcing the dual purpose of the space as both a traditional coffee shop and a functional workspace. The numbered pods indicate structured seating, allowing customers to work individually while remaining within a social café environment.
Café work pods have become increasingly common in UK cities, particularly following shifts toward remote and hybrid working. They cater to freelancers, students, digital nomads, and professionals seeking an alternative to home working or formal offices.
Photographed to show layout, materials, and signage, the image documents the evolving role of cafés as multifunctional spaces supporting modern work habits. It is well suited for editorial use covering remote working, urban lifestyle, modern café culture, coworking trends, and contemporary interior design in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WT1 - This photograph captures a glowing neon Fish & Chips sign displayed outside a takeaway food premises in the historic city of York, North Yorkshire. The bright neon lettering stands out strongly against the surrounding streetscape, acting as both a functional advertisement and a familiar visual marker of traditional British fast food culture.
Fish and chips has long been regarded as a staple of British cuisine, closely associated with working-class history, seaside towns, and urban high streets. Neon signage such as this became especially common during the mid to late twentieth century, valued for its visibility, durability, and ability to attract passing customers after dark. Today, these signs often evoke a sense of nostalgia while remaining a practical part of modern hospitality trade.
The image was taken during the evening or night, when the neon lighting becomes most prominent, casting a warm, inviting glow that contrasts with the darker surroundings. In a city like York, known for its Roman origins, medieval streets, and strong tourism economy, such signage highlights the coexistence of historic architecture with contemporary commercial life.
Photographs of neon food signs are widely used to illustrate themes of British culture, urban nightlife, traditional cuisine, travel, and everyday street scenes. This image reflects the enduring popularity of fish and chips and its role as both a cultural symbol and a living part of daily life in cities across England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K6GW3J - Angus Steakhouse is a restaurant chain of steak houses in central London. In 2001, there were about 30 outlets
five remain open as of July 2020. The name reflects Aberdeen Angus, a common breed of beef cattle. Some restaurants still retain the former trading name, Aberdeen Steak Houses, on their signage, as of September 2016.
Aberdeen Steak Houses was started in the early 1960s by Reginald Eastwood (born c.1913), who had started in business aged 15 as an apprentice butcher.[citation needed] Eastwood's vision was for a more modern version of the earlier chop-house grills, and was influenced by American steak houses. The décor was opulent, with plate glass windows and red velour banquettes. Menus included trendy dishes like prawn cocktail and Black Forest gateau
By the 1970s, the group was focused more on tourist trade, with many branches in the West End to attract those attending theatre or musical shows
In 1984, the group was sold to Ali Salih, a Turkish businessman with a low public profile.The menu and décor showed little update since the 1960s, and the brand got a reputation as tourist traps for Its business, along with the wider UK beef industry, was hit in the 1990s by bovine spongiform encephalopathy,(BSE) then by foot and mouth disease in 2001.It made a loss of £3m in 2000
decline in American tourists after the September 11 attacks was also cited by Salih after the group went into receivership in October 2002, with £7m in debt.
In 2011, actor and comedian David Mitchell championed the cause of Aberdeen Angus Steak Houses in his opinion column in The Guardian, proposing that they be a nominee for a British World Heritage bid, citing them as being unique to British culture because of their proud heritage of serving shoe leather with Béarnaise sauce to neon-addled out-of-towners

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 café environment, typical of independent or socially focused cafés 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 café 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 café 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 2RD243H - This image shows the exterior window display and signage of Sandgate Coffee, an independent takeaway coffee shop located on Sandgate in the historic seaside town of Whitby, North Yorkshire. The hand-painted sign describes the café as the Home of the Whitby Fatties , a local variation of the traditional Yorkshire Fat Rascals cake, a rich baked treat associated with the region.
The shop window features a colourful and decorative cake display in shades of pink, designed to attract passing visitors and highlight the café's baking theme. A clear notice indicates that the business operates on a takeaway-only basis, reflecting the small footprint typical of many independent food outlets in Whitby's busy tourist streets.
Whitby is well known for its strong food heritage, including jet jewellery, seafood, and regional baking traditions. Small cafés such as Sandgate Coffee contribute to the town's appeal as a destination for food tourism, offering locally themed specialities alongside everyday refreshments.
The photograph documents a detail of Whitby's independent retail and food culture, capturing how local identity and traditional recipes are used to create distinctive offerings within a popular tourist town.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K0GF9E - Penny Lane is a road in the south Liverpool suburb of Mossley Hill. The name also applies to the area surrounding its junction with Smithdown Road and Allerton Road, and to the roundabout at Smithdown Place that was the location for a major bus terminus, originally an important tram junction of Liverpool Corporation Tramways. The roundabout was a frequent stopping place for John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison during their years as schoolchildren and students. Bus journeys via Penny Lane and the area itself subsequently became familiar elements in the early years of the Lennon“McCartney songwriting partnership. In 2009, McCartney reflected:
Penny Lane was kind of nostalgic, but it was really [about] a place that John and I knew ... I'd get a bus to his house and I'd have to change at Penny Lane, or the same with him to me, so we often hung out at that terminus, like a roundabout. It was a place that we both knew, and so we both knew the things that turned up in the story.
Lennon's original lyrics for In My Life had included a reference to Penny Lane. Soon after the Beatles recorded In My Life in October 1965, McCartney mentioned to an interviewer that he wanted to write a song about Penny Lane. A year later, he was spurred to write the song once presented with Lennon's Strawberry Fields Forever. McCartney also cited Dylan Thomas's nostalgic poem Fern Hill as an inspiration for Penny Lane. Lennon co-wrote the lyrics with McCartney. He recalled in a 1970 interview: The bank was there, and that was where the trams sheds were and people waiting and the inspector stood there, the fire engines were down there. It was reliving childhood

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JX2TH2 - The Advanced Passenger Train (APT) was a tilting high speed train developed by British Rail during the 1970s and early 1980s, for use on the West Coast Main Line (WCML). The WCML contained many curves, and the APT pioneered the concept of active tilting to address these, a feature that has since been copied on designs around the world. The experimental APT-E achieved a new British railway speed record on 10 August 1975 when it reached 152.3 miles per hour (245.1 km/h), only to be bested by the service prototype APT-P at 162.2 miles per hour (261.0 km/h) in December 1979, a record that stood until September 2006.
Development of the service prototypes dragged on, and by the late 1970s the design had been under construction for a decade and the trains were still not ready for service. The election of Margaret Thatcher brought matters to a head and she alluded to funding cuts for the project. Facing the possibility of cancellation, BR management decided to put the prototypes into service, with the first runs along the London-Glasgow route taking place in December 1981. The result was a media circus when every problem large or small received front-page coverage and the entire project derided as an example of BR's incompetence. The trains were withdrawn from service again by the end of the month, to the great amusement of the press.
In spite of the APT's troubled history, the design was highly influential and directly inspired other high speed trains such as the Pendolino. The considerable work on electrification that was carried out hand-in-hand with APT was put to good use with newer non-tilting designs like the British Rail Class 91. The APT's tilt system was returned to the WCML on the British Rail Class 390, based on the Fiat Ferroviaria tilting train design and built by Alstom.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JY564E - Manchester Victoria station in Manchester, England is a combined mainline railway station and Metrolink tram stop. Situated to the north of the city centre on Hunts Bank, close to Manchester Cathedral, it adjoins Manchester Arena which was constructed on part of the former station site in the 1990s. Opened in 1844 and part of the Manchester station group, Victoria is Manchester's third busiest railway station after Piccadilly and Oxford Road and the second busiest station managed by Northern after Oxford Road.
The station hosts local and regional services to destinations in Northern England, such as Blackburn, Rochdale, Bradford, Leeds, Newcastle, Huddersfield, Halifax, Wigan, Southport, Blackpool (Sundays only) and Liverpool using the original Liverpool to Manchester line. Most trains calling at Victoria are operated by Northern. TransPennine Express services call at the station from Liverpool to Newcastle/Scarborough and services towards Manchester Airport (via the Ordsall Chord) from Middlesbrough/Redcar/Newcastle.
Manchester Victoria is a major interchange for the Metrolink light rail system. Two former railway lines into the station have been converted to tram operation: the line to Bury was converted in the early 1990s, in the first phase of Metrolink construction, and the line through Oldham to Rochdale was converted during 2009“2014. In the other direction, trams switch to on-street running when they emerge from Victoria Station and continue southwards through the city centre to Piccadilly or Deansgate-Castlefield.

I've always had a great love of the countryside, gathering wild ingredients and being inventive in the kitchen, which has slowly evolved into Gangplank Spirits & Preserves. I've travelled all over the UK canal network making and selling my produce.
The business has flourished and this year we have expanded and become a limited company, we now sell our products from the boat, at land based events, on the website and have also begun supplying stockists!

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMD5KY - Built in 1931 by William Leah, this is a stone Art Deco building, now let as separate
shops, which was formerly the Stroud Co-op department store. Once inside the front door,
customers would walk up through the different departments. The main double door is now
replaced by the separate doors into the Black Book café and the launderette, with a
narrow blank panel in between. The windows up both Nelson St and Parliament St have
the original lights and pull-down awnings (still working).
The square, Art Deco, rendered panel (˜1931') is as it was originally. The signage (Soap &
Suds, etc) is modern but in a font in keeping with the age of the building.
Unit 6, originally the butcher's department of the Co-op and now a tattoo parlour “ has a
set-back doorway (the others in the block flush) but no awning like the others. At the back
of the shop are the original butcher's rails. The plate glass is the original Co-op shop
glass.
In Unit 4, originally the cooked meats department with uphill neighbour Hong Kong
takeaway and now R&R books, the central black and white tiled flooring is original.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K148X3 - Avanti West Coast is a train operating company in the United Kingdom owned by FirstGroup (70%) and Trenitalia (30%) that operates the West Coast Partnership.
During November 2016, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced the InterCity West Coast franchise would be replaced by the West Coast Partnership (WCP). In August 2019, the DfT awarded the WCP franchise to the First Trenitalia consortium. On 8 December 2019, Avanti West Coast took over operations from the prior operating company Virgin Trains, which had run the franchise since 1997. Originally, the franchise was initially scheduled to run until March 2030, and had also been set to operate the initial High Speed 2 services from 2026. However, during December 2020, it was announced that First Trenitalia and the DfT had agreed to terminate the WCP franchise at the earlier date of 31 March 2026 as part of the abolition of the franchise system. Since then a number of contract changes have taken place due to COVID-19 and then poor performance by the company. As of March 2023, the company's contract will expire in October 2023.
Between 14 August and 18 September 2022, Avanti West Coast reduced its timetable, citing unofficial strike action from its employees. However, this allegation was disputed by Aslef, which accused the company of lying and blamed their lack of recruitment, especially of train drivers, for the problems. Trains were running at one service per hour on the majority of routes, as opposed to the three which would typically occur on the London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly route. Following these changes, Avanti West Coast was subject to public criticism
news stories emerged of numerous train cancellations, overcrowded services, delays, and expensive fares. Many commuters faced difficulties reaching their destinations on the reduced services and some travellers have been left to wait for to two days before travel for tickets to be released for sale

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JBJ8BN - Lymm is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Warrington, Cheshire, England, which incorporates the hamlets of Booths Hill, Broomedge, Church Green, Deansgreen, Heatley, Heatley Heath, Little Heatley, Oughtrington, Reddish, Rushgreen and Statham. At the 2021 United Kingdom census it had a population of 12,700.
History
The name Lymm, of Celtic origins, means a place of running water and is likely derived from an ancient stream that ran through the village centre. The village appears as Limme in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Lymm was an agricultural village until the Industrial Revolution, which brought the Bridgewater Canal and the Warrington and Altrincham Junction Railway to the village. The village played a prominent role within the salt extraction industry, gold beating industry and cotton industry (many of its inhabitants were fustian cutters).
Lymm Heritage Centre, which opened in June 2017, is in the centre of the village on Legh Street. It hosts exhibitions related to local history as well as activities for schools and visitors.
Morris dancing was taking place in Lymm as early as 1817, often appearing in the village at Rushbearing time throughout the Victorian era. Morris dancing[7] continues to feature within the village with Lymm Morris dancers frequently performing during Rushbearing and at the various annual village festivals including the Lymm May Queen Festival, Lymm Festival and Lymm Dickensian Festival.
In 2017, Lymm was voted as one of the 'Best Places to Live' according to The Times and The Sunday Times list. In 2023, the village was voted as one of Britains 'Most Desirable Towns' according to The Daily Telegraph

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CB00B3 - By the middle of the 15th century the population of the town had increased to about 1,300 people and, even though travelling was hard, Warrington's markets and fairs were known far and near. The lanes around the market became so crowded with stalls and animals that an open space had to be made in the north west corner of the crossroads. On early maps this was called the ˜forum', and later the ˜corn market'.
The rights to collect tolls on these markets and fairs remained with the barons of Warrington, and later with the lords of the manor, until 1856 when the new corporation bought them from John Ireland Blackburne, the then Lord of the Manor.
The Victorian market
Three years later the Warrington Improvement and Market Act said the corporation could hold and maintain a market, and could also to build on any land purchased under the powers of the Act, or on any land forming part of any street. The buildings were market houses and places for the sale of cattle, hay and other articles.
After much debate a new market hall for meat traders was built in 1856, which was an impressive brick and stone building.
It was extended in 1873, adding a cast iron-framed fish market hall. Later, a glass-roofed general market hall was built on land behind the Barley Mow Inn.
The market in the 1960s-1970s
By the late 1960s, the Victorian market halls had become outdated and they couldn't meet the modern standards of health and hygiene. It was impossible to build a new market around the old without stopping trading for a long time.
When Warrington became a New Town, the town centre was redeveloped and the market was moved to Bank Street, where it would provide a counterbalance to the new Golden Square shopping centre.
The new market was designed on three levels, based on the natural fall of the ground, meaning that each floor came out at ground level. It gave service access to the back of shops on Bridge Street via a tunnel from the basement.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ADR2DB - Hancock & Wood department store stands illuminated at dusk on Bridge Street in Warrington town centre during December, with Christmas lights, festive window displays and seasonal decorations across its multi-storey frontage. The independent family retailer opened on this site in 1914, founded by Frederick Hancock with David Wood helping to manage the business while Hancock served with the Royal Marines during the First World War. It expanded across the full frontage in 1933 and remained closely associated with generations of the Hancock family, becoming one of Warrington's best-known and longest-established shops.
The photograph records the store during a winter trading season before its announced closure in 2026 after 112 years. The company said the decision had not been taken lightly and cited rising employment costs, public utilities, business rates and legislation. Its closure marks the loss of a distinctive local business that survived two world wars, changing shopping habits, town-centre redevelopment, competition from national chains and online retailers, and the disruption of the coronavirus pandemic.
The image also illustrates pressures facing traditional bricks-and-mortar retail in British town centres. Independent department stores must support large premises, staffing, energy, insurance, stockholding and regulatory costs while competing with internet shopping, retail parks, supermarkets and major chains. Reduced footfall and changing consumer behaviour have left many long-established high street names vulnerable, even where customer loyalty remains strong.
Christmas garlands, illuminated Santa decorations and shop windows give the scene a warm seasonal atmosphere, contrasting with the sadness of the forthcoming closure. By Christmas 2026, the store may already have ceased trading, making this photograph a record of Warrington's commercial heritage, festive town-centre life and the final chapter of a fourth-generation family business

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XN3D - A pig roast or hog roast is an event or gathering which involves the barbecuing of a whole pig.
Pig roasts, under a variety of names, are a common traditional celebration event in many places including the Philippines, Puerto Rico and Cuba. It is also popular in the United States, especially in the state of Hawaii (a luau) and in the Southern United States (pig pickin'). In Southeast Asia, a pig roast is a staple among the Buddhist, and Christian communities, notably among Catholic Filipinos and Hindu Balinese people, or Buddhist Chinese people.
The tradition of the hog roast goes back millennia and is found in many cultures. There are numerous ways to roast pork, including open fire rotisserie style roasting, and caja china style box grilling. Many families traditionally have a pig roast for Thanksgiving or Christmas.
In the UK, the tradition of pig roasting, more commonly known in the UK as a hog roast, is popular on many occasions, particularly parties and celebrations. It is usually an outdoor event, and a staple meal at many show events. The tradition is to roast either on a spit, turning the pig under a flame, or in a large oven in a roasting pan
roasting pigs around 130 lbs (60 kg) in weight are common in the UK. The pig is normally roasted in a propane gas machine. The pig's skin is scored with a sharp blade and covered in water and salt to make the crackling. In ancient times, going all the way back to the Saxons, roasting a wild boar was often the centerpiece of a meal at Yuletide, with Yule being Freya's feast. The head was often the greatest delicacy, as evidenced by the survival of the Boar's Head Carol.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6XT - Trump Tower is a 58-floor, 664-foot-tall (202 m) mixed-use skyscraper at 721“725 Fifth Avenue in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City,USA,between East 56th and 57th Streets. It serves as the headquarters for the Trump Organization. Additionally, it houses the penthouse condominium residence of businessman, real estate developer, and former U.S. president Donald Trump, who developed the building and named it after himself. Several members of the Trump family also live, or have resided, in the building. The tower stands on a plot where the flagship store of department-store chain Bonwit Teller was formerly located.
Der Scutt of Poor, Swanke, Hayden & Connell designed Trump Tower, and Trump and the Equitable Life Assurance Company (now the AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company) developed it. Although it is in one of Midtown Manhattan's special zoning districts, the tower was approved because it was to be built as a mixed-use development. Trump was permitted to add more stories to the tower in return for additional retail space and for providing privately owned public space on the ground floor, the lower level, and two outdoor terraces. There were controversies during construction, including the destruction of historically important sculptures from the Bonwit Teller store
Trump's alleged underpaying of contractors
and a lawsuit that Trump filed because the tower was not tax-exempt.
Construction on the building began in 1979. The atrium, apartments, offices, and stores opened on a staggered schedule from February to November 1983. At first, there were few tenants willing to move into the commercial and retail spaces
the residential units were sold out within months of opening. After Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent election, the tower saw large increases in visitation, though security concerns required the area around the tower to be patrolled for several years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCGHK4 - Leeds is a city in the metropolitan borough of Leeds, in the county of West Yorkshire, England. The city lies within the United Kingdom's fourth-most populous urban area, with a population of 2.6 million.
Leeds was a small manorial borough in the 13th century, and in the 17th and 18th centuries it became a major centre for the production and trading of wool, and in the Industrial Revolution a major mill town
wool was still the dominant industry, but flax, engineering, iron foundries, printing, and other industries were also important. From being a market town in the valley of the River Aire in the 16th century, Leeds expanded and absorbed the surrounding villages to become a populous urban centre by the mid-20th century.
Leeds has one of the most diverse economies of the all the UK's main employment centres and has seen the fastest rate of private-sector jobs growth of any UK city. It also has the highest ratio of private to public sector jobs of all the UK's Core Cities, with 77% of its workforce working in the private sector. Leeds has the third-largest jobs total by local authority area, with 480,000 in employment and self-employment at the beginning of 2015. Leeds is ranked as a gamma world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. Leeds is the cultural, financial and commercial heart of the West Yorkshire Urban Area. Leeds is served by four universities, and has the fourth largest student population in the country and the country's fourth largest urban economy.
Today, Leeds has become the largest legal and financial centre, outside London with the financial and insurance services industry worth £13 billion to the city's economy. The Finance and business service sector account for 38% of total output with more than 30 national and international banks located in the city, including an office of the Bank of England. Leeds is also the UK's third-largest manufacturing centre with around 1,800 firms and 39,000 employees.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDF09H - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.
In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY7XF8 - Leeds Dock (formerly New Dock and also known as Clarence Dock between 2001 and 2012) is a mixed development with retail, office and leisure presence in central Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It has large residential population in waterside apartments.
New Dock was built in 1843 and was in service until 1990. The Royal Armouries Museum opened in 1996. New Dock was redeveloped as Clarence Dock, a £250 million mixed-use development between 2001 and 2007. The retail and leisure sector was launched on Saturday 11 October 2008 with fashion shows from celebrity fashion consultant and TV presenter Gok Wan. Leeds Dock now attracts around 1.5 million visitors a year although most of these are due to the proximity of the Royal Armouries Museum. Clarence Dock experienced a turbulent time since launch and is largely viewed as a failure in terms of achieving its initial vision.
It is located by the River Aire next to the Royal Armouries Museum, which faces onto Armouries Square. Leeds Dock's main shopping street, 'The Boulevard' radiates southbound from Armouries Square. Another focal point is 'The Anchorage' at the top of the dock. Clarence House is a 218-foot (66 m) tower containing 227 apartments and six retail units. On completion in April 2007, it became the eighth tallest building in Leeds but is now the twelfth tallest building.
Leeds Dock plays host to an annual Waterfront Festival each June with Dragon Boat Racing centred on Armouries Square.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7B0B - Beer in Belgium varies from pale lager to lambic beer and Flemish red. There are approximately 180 breweries in the country, ranging from international giants to microbreweries
Beer in Belgium dates back to the age of the first crusades, long before Belgium became an independent country. Under Catholic church permission, local French and Flemish abbeys brewed and distributed beer as a fund raising method. The relatively low-alcohol beer of that time was preferred as a sanitary option to available drinking water. What are now traditional, artisanal brewing methods evolved, under abbey supervision, during the next seven centuries.
The Trappist monasteries that now brew beer in Belgium were occupied in the late 18th century primarily by monks fleeing the French Revolution. However, the first Trappist brewery in Belgium (Westmalle) did not start operation until 10 December 1836, almost 50 years after the Revolution. That beer was exclusively for the monks and is described as dark and sweet. The first recorded sale of beer (a brown beer) was on 1 June 1861

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DG39NX - Early in his career, in 1896, Mackintosh met Catherine Cranston (widely known as Kate Cranston or simply Miss Cranston), an entrepreneurial local business woman who was the daughter of a Glasgow tea merchant and a strong believer in temperance.
The temperance movement was becoming increasingly popular in Glasgow at the turn of the century and Miss Cranston had conceived the idea of a series of art tearooms, venues where people could meet to relax and enjoy non-alcoholic refreshments in a variety of different rooms within the same building. This proved to be the start of a long working relationship between Miss Cranston and Mackintosh. Between 1896 and 1917 he designed and re-styled interiors in all four of her Glasgow tearooms, often in collaboration with his wife Margaret MacDonald.
Mackintosh's redesigned external facade was a carefully considered asymmetric, abstractly modelled composition with shallow curves on some areas of the surface, and varying depths of recesses to windows and the main entrance. The composition respected the urban context of the neighbouring buildings, matching the major cornice lines and heights of adjoining buildings, whilst still exploring emerging ideas of Art Nouveau and the modern movement.
The ground floor entrance door is placed far to the left of a wide band of fenestration, both of which are recessed below the first-floor level, the location of the Room de Luxe. To emphasise the importance of this room, Mackintosh designed a full width bay window, projecting the facade outwards with a gentle curve. The two storeys above this featured a more regular pattern of fenestration with three individual windows per floor, recessed to different degrees. The asymmetry of the composition was continued by widening the left side windows and creating another gentle curve in this part of the facade, extending through both storeys. This repeated the curved form of the first floor and emphasised the heavily recessed entrance to the building

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM9AWE - This documentary stock photograph shows Las Vegas Grill, Southend, seafood, 46 Marine Parade, Southend-on-Sea SS1 2EN. The scene belongs to the Southend-on-Sea seafront and beachfront leisure strip, a classic Essex seaside setting where amusement arcades, fish and chip shops, pubs, bowling, family attractions and day-trip promenades sit close together. The image is especially useful because it records clear documentary detail, not a generic tourist board view, so it can illustrate real trading frontage, local colour, shop signs, coastal leisure and the everyday economy of a British resort town. Southend has long depended on visitors arriving for the pier, beach, amusements and evening hospitality, and images like this help explain how traditional seaside places continue to balance nostalgia with modern retail, food, drink and entertainment uses. Editorial buyers could use it for stories about coastal regeneration, seaside tourism, amusement arcades, family holidays, local business survival, seasonal employment, consumer spending, waterfront redevelopment, heritage leisure and the social history of British day trips. It also works for commentary on how resort towns present themselves visually, with bright signs, familiar names, glass-fronted arcades, food offers and a dense mixture of leisure uses competing for passing footfall. For SEO and stock search, relevant composite terms include Southend seafront amusement arcade, Essex seaside tourism, British beachfront entertainment, family coastal day out, traditional seaside economy, high street leisure frontage and UK resort town regeneration. The value is in the combination of place-specific caption wording, visible subject matter and practical editorial usefulness. It could support news, magazine, web, travel, council, planning, business, heritage, nostalgia, tourism, consumer affairs and local economy content where a real coastal street scene is needed rather than a polished stock illustration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H3FKFW - Robins Pie and Mash shop closes after more than 30 years serving Ilford.
Robins Pie and Mash, Chapel Road, Ilford, which is being run by the fifth generation of a family, closed on Saturday.
Owner June Robins said: There is still demand for pie and mash but unfortunately this is not the case in Ilford any more. Customers seem to want a different type of food.
It was a very sad day when we closed. We first opened the branch over 30 years ago but things have become a lot more expensive, especially as we get all our meat from Scotland.
The company, which has recently started supplying frozen meals to the Asda supermarket chain, also has a number of other branches including one in High Street, Wanstead.
Ms Robins added: When we informed our customers we would be shutting they just kept asking why.
I don't think pie and mash is dying out as we have a lot of demand in other areas including at weddings and football games, including West Ham United.
But times are changing and people seem to want universal food such as pizza and burgers. Pie and mash has a limited regional appeal.
Traditionally pie and mash dates back to the 19th century, when Dutch ships delivered live eels, which were used in pies, to Billingsgate Market.
Customer, Paul Scott, of Sandhurst Drive, Goodmayes, added: This is a great shame and customers aren't happy about it especially as there will now be no more pie and mash shops in Ilford.

'Nightswimming' is a song by the American alternative rock band R.E.M. It was released in 1993 as the fifth single off the group's eighth album Automatic for the People.
'Nightswimming' is a ballad featuring singer Michael Stipe accompanied only by bassist Mike Mills on piano, a string arrangement by former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones, and a prominent oboe by Deborah Workman in the latter part of the piece. Stipe sings about a group of friends who go skinny dipping at night, which draws from similar experiences in the band's early days.
The Cafe Royal is a bit of an institution in Edinburgh. as atmospheric as a bar and a place to eat at night as it is in the daytime.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
The old style greasy spoon and working mans cafe is under threat. As our town centres and working (wo)men are being decimated, this old institution is disapearing.
Classic formica tables, breakfast for \u00a32, posters to take you to far away places while you mop up your beans with a potato cake. Priceless!
The typical greasy spoon serves mainly fried or grilled food from a more or less invariable repertoire: bacon, sausages, fried eggs, fried or tinned tomatoes, fried mushrooms, baked beans, chips, and sometimes black or white pudding, bubble and squeak (a fried mixture of cabbage and mashed potato), and fried bread.
These are served in a variety of combinations and usually it is possibly to order any combination. This part of the menu is generally referred to as breakfast even if it is available all day. Real greasy spoons do not have a continental coffee machine capable of capuchino, so dont embarass yourself by asking. Expect coffee to be instant, teabags rule here.
Who knows, the less than rigourous attitude to hygiene and dishwashing may well one day be proved to be good for us. Well its natural to be exposed to a few germs n'est pas?

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4677730879 - 'Even old cars need to stop at the services sometimes. This one seen on the M74 Annandale Water on the way to a rally in Inverness. The owner was under the bonnet making adjustments with a spanner in readiness for another 230 miles of motoring.
Bentley Motors Limited is a British manufacturer of automobiles founded on my birthday, 18th January 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley (known as W.O. Bentley or just 'W.O.').
Bentley had been previously known for his range of rotary aero-engines in World War I, the most famous being the Bentley BR1 as used in later versions of the Sopwith Camel. Since 1998, the company has been owned by the Volkswagen Group of Germany and is located in Crewe, south Cheshire.
Before World War I, W.O. Bentley had been in partnership with his brother H.M. Bentley selling French DFP cars, but he had always wanted to design and build his own range of cars bearing his name. In August 1919, Bentley Motors Ltd. was registered, and a chassis with dummy engine was exhibited at the London Motor Show in October of that year.
It was on a visit to the DFP factory in 1913 that W.O. noticed an aluminium paperweight, and had the inspired idea of using the lightweight metal instead of cast iron to make engine pistons. The first Bentley aluminium pistons went into service in aero engines for the Sopwith Camel during the Great War.
A group of wealthy British motorists known as the 'Bentley Boys' (Woolf Barnato, Sir Henry Birkin, steeplechaser George Duller, aviator Glen Kidston, automotive journalist S.C.H. 'Sammy' Davis, and Dr. Dudley Benjafield among them) kept the marque's reputation for high performance alive. Thanks to the dedication to serious racing of this group, the company, located at Cricklewood, north London, was noted for its four consecutive victories at the 24 hours of Le Mans from 1927 to 1930. Their greatest competitor at the time, Bugatti\u2014whose lightweight, elegant, but fragile creations contrasted with the Bentley's rugged reliability and durability\u2014referred to them as 'the world's fastest lorries'.
The one pictured here looks like a 1929 model, possibly 3-6 litre engine.

She does a really comprehensive breakfast selection including my favourite black (blood) pudding. The \u00a33.30 belly buster (thats barely 3 Euros 60, what are you waiting for, get over to Roman Northwich, in that damn chunnel, swap those croisants and churros for some proper breakfast!!!). A large batch filled with two bacon, one sausage, egg, tomatoes, mushroom, black pudding and cheese. Theres also version for the Atkins (low carb) generation and our vegetarian bretheren.
You can choose your own bread (thankfully not the identikit bread at the Subway franchise further into town), but your choice from a whole raft of types. Fillings cover all tastes from plain turkey salad to Feta &
Pesto, Brie and Cranberry, roasted vegatables, smoked and cream cheese.
When drooling at the menu I realised there was only one ingredient missing, chilli pepper. If you are craving it they do a mean baked potato with chilli. What are you waiting for, if you are within a 3 mile radius of the shop in Condate, get your 'belly buster' ordered - 01606-42777 / 07770-452708

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4529292058 - 'Ah! a relaxing and very civilised Easter bank holiday monday afternoon with my friend Stephen in the Cafe Royal, tucked away in West Register Street, Edinburgh. Nice to be served real cask ales and great food.
It has its origins across the road from where it now stands back in 1826. It was known then for its Oysters, one of the rare foods I have given up trying to enjoy, they are just not for me. Local architect Robert Paterson is responsible for its parisian style and its a great step back to victorian gin palace times, a bit like the Phil in Liverpool ( www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/3804831303/ ).
On the menu today was a lovely tomato based fish soup, Moules (Mussels to you), mixed starters to share, pork in cider, although the homemade sandwiches and burgers in there are also really nice. i had the fish soup followed by a really good Cranachan (a local Scots desert with double cream, oats and raspberries), try it if you get the chance, naughty but nice!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4414472726 - 'Ahh, a nice pot of Fairtrade tea or fancy coffee and a freshly baked cake. What more could you ask for on a Saturday morning when taking your books back to Lymm library in Davies Way.
The Sanctuary cafe is between the library and Brookfield Roads' United Reformed Church (Thomas Risley Church) and can be reached from either. Its thankfully christian with a small c, even nicer when you grew up as a card carrying fallen catholic like myself.
They are usually open from about 9.30am where a fresh bacon butty (or Lymm folk may well call them Bacon Sarnies - I dont know) is a good way to start the day. They will toast it too if you ask. There is a corner for kids to play if you have a small one in tow. Lawrence the gaffer does a good job and the volunteers will always go that extra mile for you.
They have some fairtrade nic-naks on offer usually and its a nice change from the other village alternatives. A nice it of sanctuary now my ears had settled down from the night before www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/4409614624/

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAEJ1K - In 1935, as the great Cunard liner 'Queen Mary' took shape on the Clyde, a restaurant was refitted in the same Art Deco style and a Glasgow legend was born.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K69A4H - Gloucester Services are a pair of Motorway Service Areas (MSA) serving the northbound and southbound carriageways of the M5 between Junction 11A and Junction 12, near Whaddon, Gloucester. It specialises in selling artisanal food, and does not offer outlets for popular chain food brands.
Construction of the northbound services began in early 2013, and they officially opened on 7 May 2014. Construction of the southbound services commenced in March 2014 and they opened on 19 May 2015
In September 2009, the independent motorway services operator Westmorland Motorway Services Ltd, jointly with a local charitable trust, Gloucestershire Gateway Trust, submitted plans for a service area at Matson for public consultation. The plans were for a business operated in a similar manner to Tebay Services on the M6 in Cumbria, with much of the food and produce on sale being sourced from local suppliers
The operator promised not to host chain coffee shops, fast-food outlets, or video and gambling machines
The service area supports the Gloucestershire Gateway Trust in assisting the business to provide good jobs for more deprived areas of Gloucester, and to support local social regeneration schemes.
The 2019 Motorway Services User Survey found that Gloucester's southbound side was in the top five motorway services in the UK for customer satisfaction
The District Council was informed at the end of February 2011 that Roadchef and Welcome Break (the operators of Strensham and Michaelwood service stations) had applied to the High Court for a judicial review of the Council's decision to grant planning permission. Joined in the action were CAMSA and the Parish Councils of Brookthorpe-with-Whaddon and Harescombe. The case was heard in the High Court in Birmingham on 17 and 18 January 2012. By 8 February 2012, the High Court had dismissed all challenges to the planning application
One of the factors that helped the development gain planning permission was the inclusion of a green roof

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P4HWEN - Artisan Bread, M5 Gloucester Farm Shop Motorway Service area, Gloucestershire, England, UK - how all services area cafes should be has the strength of a real-world scene: ordinary enough to be believable, but specific enough to support precise editorial use. Gloucester Services became notable for treating motorway food as a regional farm-shop offer rather than a standardised fast-food stop, putting local produce and craft presentation into a heavily car-based setting. The subject can illustrate food miles, motorway culture, consumer expectations, rural supply chains, premium convenience retail and the reinvention of service stations as destinations rather than necessities. The location detail, Gloucester, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. Relevant editorial themes include food retail, British food, hospitality and farm shop, with each theme rooted in the visible subject, place or activity. It can work both as a straightforward location record and as a wider editorial illustration of the habits, services, buildings, symbols and small commercial details that shape everyday life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG98A8 - Band on the Wall is a live music venue in the Northern Quarter of Manchester, England.
The building dates back to around 1862 when a local brewery, the McKenna Brothers, built it as the flagship pub of their operation. It was called the George and Dragon
the first licence on the site was granted to Elizabeth March in 1803. No-one knows when music started to be played at the venue but market pubs were well known for their musical connections, and the nearby Smithfield Markets and textile factories ensured that this was a bustling area with many musicians and buskers. Manchester was then at its height as the first industrial city at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution.
The 'Band on the Wall' was a nickname from the 1930s when the landlord of the time Ernie Tyson placed a stage high on the far wall of the pub on which the musicians played. A regular band of two accordions, piano, drums, a singer and occasionally a saxophone would play.
In 1975 local jazz musician Steve Morris and his business partner Frank Cusick bought the George & Dragon with the idea of turning it into a jazz club
a conversation with Johnny Roadhouse convinced them to name it the Band on the Wall. Jazz musicians from the local area as well as international artist played at the club. The late 1970s saw the emergence of a new sound, punk, and it was at the Band on the Wall that many of the Manchester punk bands played
Band on the Wall is operated by Inner City Music Ltd, a registered charity. The organisation was awarded £3.2 million in July 2007, in combined awards by Arts Council England and the Heritage Lottery Fund as part of a £4 million project to transform the venue into a 21st-century centre for music.
The Band on the Wall was refurbished before reopening on 25 September 2009 with a performance by the venue's patrons Julian Joseph and Mica Paris
On 18 June 2018, Inner City Music Ltd announced that Arts Council England had approved £1.65 million stage two Capital funding

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy R9GTYF - KFC, also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, is an American fast food restaurant chain that specializes in fried chicken. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, it is the world's second-largest restaurant chain (as measured by sales) after McDonald's, with almost 20,000 locations globally in 123 countries and territories as of December 2015. The chain is a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, a restaurant company that also owns the Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and WingStreet chains.
KFC was founded by Colonel Harland Sanders, an entrepreneur who began selling fried chicken from his roadside restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky during the Great Depression. Sanders identified the potential of the restaurant franchising concept, and the first Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise opened in Utah in 1952. KFC popularized chicken in the fast food industry, diversifying the market by challenging the established dominance of the hamburger. By branding himself as Colonel Sanders, Harland became a prominent figure of American cultural history, and his image remains widely used in KFC advertising. However, the company's rapid expansion overwhelmed the aging Sanders and he sold it to a group of investors led by John Y. Brown Jr. and Jack C. Massey in 1964.
KFC was one of the first American fast food chains to expand internationally, opening outlets in Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Jamaica by the mid-1960s. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, it experienced mixed fortunes domestically, as it went through a series of changes in corporate ownership with little or no experience in the restaurant business. In the early 1970s, KFC was sold to the spirits distributor Heublein, which was taken over by the R.J. Reynolds food and tobacco conglomerate
that company sold the chain to PepsiCo. The chain continued to expand overseas, however, and in 1987, it became the first Western restaurant chain to open in China. It has since expanded rapidly in China, which is now the company's single largest market.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBPDY - Afflecks (formerly Affleck's Palace) is an indoor market in Manchester, England, in the city's Northern Quarter on the junction of Church Street/Tib Street and Dale Street with Oldham Street. Dozens of independent stalls, small shops and boutiques operate in the one building. The building was once occupied by a department store called Affleck and Brown as a store and office space, hence the name.
Affleck's Palace first opened in 1981 by James and Elaine Walsh with an ethos of offering a safe environment for entrepreneurs to start out with affordable rent and no long term contracts. Unit holders operated under a licence agreement which allowed them to pay for space on a week by week basis. The atmosphere and colourful maze-like layout led to Affleck's becoming a mecca for alternative culture. The establishment was able to bounce back from two building fires and overcame many obstacles.
During the 1990s 'Madchester Summer of Love' period, when local bands like the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Inspiral Carpets were at the height of their popularity
Affleck's Palace was a fashionable spot to get oversized flared jeans and tie dyed T-shirts and 'Eastern Bloc' was a popular record shop as it dealt in all the latest underground dance tunes of the time.

the subject has clear hospitality and leisure value. It should work for editorial buyers needing authentic, non-staged British or travel imagery for news, magazine, blog, local government, heritage, housing, transport, tourism, retail, public policy or social commentary use. The caption should be checked against the visible photograph before upload so that any readable signs, weather, time of day and people context are accurately reflected without overstating facts not shown in the image. The strongest sales value is the combination of named subject, real location and everyday documentary style, giving picture editors a flexible image that can sit alongside features, opinion pieces, explainers, historical retrospectives and local news. Search relevance is helped by including concise place names, visible brand or wording, functional subject terms, and wider editorial concepts such as public realm, consumer behaviour, heritage, travel, leisure and community life where they genuinely match the picture.
