Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJYE - A Manchester Metrolink tram travels along the elevated rail corridor at Castlefield, passing through one of the city's most historically significant districts. The image was taken in summer daylight, with mild conditions and a partly cloudy sky providing even, reflective light across the modern skyline.
Castlefield is widely recognised as the birthplace of the industrial city, containing early canals, viaducts and railway infrastructure that powered Manchester's nineteenth-century growth. The tram route follows this historic transport axis, illustrating how industrial-era infrastructure continues to underpin contemporary urban movement.
In the background, clusters of glass and steel high-rise towers dominate the skyline, reflecting Manchester's rapid transformation into a high-density residential and commercial city. These developments form part of ongoing regeneration around Deansgate and the southern city centre, driven by population growth and inner-city living.
The Metrolink system, now integrated into the Bee Network under public control, represents a significant shift in English urban transport governance outside London. The image captures the intersection of heritage infrastructure, modern public transport and large-scale regeneration, making it well suited for editorial use covering sustainable transport, city-region devolution, urban development, regeneration and the evolving identity of post-industrial British cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCK21 - An elevated pedestrian walkway at Castlefield, Manchester, providing a direct connection between the Metrolink tram network and National Rail services at Deansgate Station. The image was taken on a warm summer evening, with clear blue skies and strong, low-angle sunlight creating a calm, open atmosphere across the city centre.
Castlefield is widely regarded as the birthplace of the industrial city, home to some of the world's earliest canals, railway infrastructure and surviving Victorian warehouses. Deansgate Station itself, formerly known as Knott Mill, has served rail passengers since the nineteenth century and remains an important gateway between Manchester's historic industrial core and its modern city centre.
The steel-framed walkway represents a contemporary layer in this long transport history, designed to support sustainable urban movement and seamless interchange between tram, rail and pedestrian routes. From the bridge, the view opens towards Manchester's rapidly expanding skyline, where clusters of glass and steel residential towers now dominate the horizon, reflecting the city's shift towards high-density urban living.
The contrast between the heavy industrial heritage of Castlefield, the red-brick railway buildings below, and the modern skyscrapers beyond encapsulates Manchester's continuing evolution. In summer conditions such as these, the walkway functions not only as vital infrastructure but also as a vantage point over a city shaped by transport, regeneration and reinvention. The image is well suited to editorial use covering urban development, public transport integration, regeneration, sustainable mobility and the lived experience of contemporary British cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCK2C - A summer evening view from Castlefield in Manchester city centre, looking across towards Deansgate and the city's rapidly evolving skyline. The photograph was taken in August under clear blue skies, with warm evening light reflecting off modern glass-clad towers and creating a calm, settled atmosphere across the urban landscape.
Castlefield is recognised as one of the most historically significant areas of Manchester, designated as the city's first conservation area. It is widely regarded as the birthplace of the industrial city, containing early canals, railway infrastructure and surviving Victorian warehouses that tell the story of Manchester's rise as a global industrial centre.
In contrast, the background skyline represents Manchester's twenty-first-century transformation, with high-density residential and mixed-use towers reshaping Deansgate and the southern edge of the city centre. The visual layering of old and new architecture illustrates the city's shift from industrial production to service, residential and cultural economies.
The image captures a moment of transition and continuity, where historic urban fabric coexists with modern regeneration. In summer evening conditions such as these, Castlefield functions not only as a heritage destination but also as a lived urban space, offering viewpoints over a city continually redefining itself. The photograph is well suited for editorial use covering urban regeneration, heritage and conservation, city identity, architecture, and the changing character of post-industrial British cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX8F - Pedestrian wayfinding signs in the Castlefield area of Manchester city centre, England, directing walkers towards major cultural, civic, and visitor destinations including Manchester Central, Bridgewater Hall, the Museum of Science and Industry, Roman Gardens, the Great Northern Warehouse, and Castlefield Youth Hostel. Castlefield is recognised as Manchester's first designated urban heritage park and is known for its Roman origins, canal basins, and surviving industrial infrastructure.
The blue and white signposts form part of the city's pedestrian navigation system, designed to encourage walking between transport hubs, cultural venues, historic sites, and leisure areas. The signs reflect the layered character of Castlefield, where Roman archaeology, Victorian canals and railways, and modern cultural buildings coexist within a compact city-centre district.
The image highlights themes of urban wayfinding, heritage-led regeneration, and the role of public realm infrastructure in supporting tourism, everyday movement, and accessibility in major British cities. It also illustrates how Manchester promotes walkability and connects historic neighbourhoods with contemporary cultural and commercial centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX8X - This photograph shows a National Trust visitor sign reading Welcome to Castlefield Viaduct, mounted at the entrance to the Castlefield Viaduct in Manchester city centre. The sign marks the public access point to a former nineteenth-century railway viaduct that has been repurposed as an elevated urban park and walking route.
The Castlefield Viaduct was originally constructed in the 1890s to carry rail traffic into Manchester during the peak of the city's industrial expansion. After decades of disuse, the structure was restored and reopened by the National Trust as an experimental urban regeneration project, allowing the public to explore a significant piece of Manchester's industrial infrastructure from a new perspective.
The contemporary sign design contrasts deliberately with the historic ironwork of the viaduct, reflecting the project's blend of heritage conservation and modern interpretation. Clear visitor signage plays an important role in reintroducing former industrial spaces as accessible public places, helping frame the site not just as a relic of the past but as a living part of the modern city.
Taken in daylight, the image documents the interface between historic infrastructure and present-day cultural use. It illustrates Manchester's wider approach to heritage-led regeneration, where Victorian engineering, environmental enhancement, and public engagement are brought together to create new urban experiences in the city centre.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXE7 - This image shows a close up view of a cast iron inscription reading Castlefield, formed into a metal surface that has developed a rich rusted patina over time. The lettering is characteristic of Victorian industrial typography, designed to be both durable and legible within the heavy engineering environments that once defined this part of Manchester.
Castlefield is widely recognised as one of the most historically significant industrial areas in the city, closely associated with canals, railways, warehouses, and early transport infrastructure that supported Manchester's growth during the industrial revolution. Cast iron was a defining material of this period, used extensively for bridges, viaducts, columns, and signage because of its strength, mouldability, and relative affordability.
The surface corrosion visible in the image reflects decades of exposure to weather and urban conditions, creating a textured finish that is now valued as part of the area's historic character. Rather than being removed, such patina is often retained in conservation and regeneration projects, where material ageing is seen as evidence of authenticity and continuity.
Taken in natural daylight, the photograph functions both as a documentary record of industrial heritage and as a strong abstract study of texture, lettering, and material decay. It illustrates how small details within Manchester's historic infrastructure help tell the wider story of the city's industrial past and its ongoing relationship with conservation, regeneration, and place identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXEK - This photograph shows visitors walking along the Castlefield Viaduct in Manchester city centre, a former nineteenth-century railway viaduct that has been repurposed by the National Trust as an elevated urban park and heritage attraction. The viaduct, originally constructed in the 1890s, once carried heavy rail traffic into Manchester during the height of the city's industrial and railway expansion.
After falling out of use, the structure was restored and reopened as the Castlefield Viaduct Sky Park, allowing the public to access a piece of Manchester's industrial infrastructure that had been largely hidden for decades. The image captures members of the public exploring the viaduct on foot, walking along a gravel path flanked by planting and wildflowers designed to encourage biodiversity in the city centre.
The exposed steel beams and lattice girders remain visible throughout the structure, emphasising the robust Victorian engineering that underpinned Manchester's role as a global industrial city. In the distance, modern city buildings rise beyond the viaduct, creating a strong contrast between historic rail infrastructure and contemporary urban development.
Taken in daylight under overcast skies, the photograph reflects Manchester's ongoing approach to heritage-led regeneration, where industrial relics are adapted for public use rather than demolished. The Castlefield Viaduct stands as a prominent example of how historic transport infrastructure can be reimagined as accessible green space, offering new perspectives on the city while preserving its industrial character.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXFA - This photograph shows a graffiti-covered railway bridge in the Castlefield area of Manchester city centre, with active railway tracks running through the foreground and a cluster of modern high-rise buildings forming the skyline in the background. The steel bridge structure is part of the historic rail infrastructure that cuts through Castlefield, an area closely associated with Manchester's industrial and transport heritage.
The graffiti mural spans the length of the bridge and features bold lettering and bright colours typical of contemporary British street art. Set against the muted grey steelwork, the artwork creates a strong visual contrast between informal urban expression and formal Victorian-era engineering. The presence of overhead electrification lines and multiple tracks underlines the continued operational importance of the rail corridor.
Behind the bridge, modern residential and commercial towers rise above the tracks, reflecting Manchester's rapid redevelopment and densification over the past two decades. The juxtaposition of graffiti, heavy rail infrastructure, and glass-and-steel skyscrapers captures a distinctive Manchester cityscape, where industrial legacy, street culture, and modern urban growth exist side by side.
Taken in daylight under broken cloud and blue sky, the image highlights the layered character of central Manchester. Castlefield, now a conservation area, remains a key transition zone between the city's industrial past and its contemporary identity as a growing European city, with this scene illustrating the tension and balance between heritage, infrastructure, creativity, and regeneration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXFH - This photograph shows the exterior of Campfield Studios, located on Liverpool Road in the Castlefield district of Manchester city centre. The building is the former Campfield Market Hall, a substantial Victorian iron-and-glass structure dating from the late nineteenth century, designed to support Manchester's role as a global centre of industry, trade, and transport during the industrial revolution.
The hall stands immediately adjacent to the Liverpool Road railway corridor, home to the world's first passenger railway station and later the core site of the Science and Industry Museum. Its architecture reflects classic Victorian engineering, with decorative iron columns, glazed sections, and a symmetrical facade that was originally intended to accommodate covered markets and storage linked to canal and rail traffic in the surrounding area.
After decades of industrial decline and underuse, the building has been carefully restored and repurposed as Campfield Studios, a modern cultural and events venue. The retained historic frontage, signage, and structural details illustrate Manchester's approach to heritage-led regeneration, where former industrial and science buildings are adapted for contemporary uses while preserving their architectural character.
Taken in daylight with light cloud cover, the image captures the building as part of the evolving Manchester streetscape, highlighting both its Victorian origins and its modern identity. Campfield Studios now forms an important part of Castlefield's wider regeneration, sitting alongside museums, canals, offices, and residential developments, and symbolising the city's transition from industrial powerhouse to a centre for culture, leisure, and creative industries.

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 2RFJ3DB - Cardiff Market (Welsh: Marchnad Caerdydd), also known as Cardiff Central Market (Welsh: Marchnad Ganolog Caerdydd) and as the Market Building, is a Victorian indoor market in the Castle Quarter of Cardiff city centre, capital city of Wales.
Originally the site of Cardiff gaol, the gallows were located on the site of the current St. Mary Street entrance, where Dic Penderyn was hanged on 13 August 1831.
The market was designed by the Borough Surveyor, William Harpur, and opened in May 1891. A farmers' market is known to have existed at the site since the 18th century.
The market consists of two shopping levels, a ground floor and a balcony level which wraps around the market exterior walls on the interior. Entrances to the market are located at St. Mary Street, Trinity Street and from an alleyway off Church Street.
A large H. Samuel clock has hung above the High Street entrance since 1910. The current clock dates from 1963 (by Smith of Derby) and was restored at a cost of ?25,000 in 2011
Since 1975 the building has been listed and is currently Grade II

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YGF - Ordsall Chord, also known as the Castlefield Curve, is a short railway line in Ordsall, Salford, England, which links Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Oxford Road to Manchester Victoria, designed to increase capacity and reduce journey times into and through Manchester. It allows trains to run from Leeds, Newcastle and Redcar Central direct to Manchester Airport.
A chord was proposed in the late-1970s and parliamentary powers for its construction were received in 1979, but the project was cancelled. Network Rail revived the proposal in 2010 as part of its Northern Hub proposal. Funding for its construction totalling ?85 million was announced in the 2011 United Kingdom budget and construction commenced in 2016. It became operational on 10 December 2017.
However its use since becoming operational has been limited as no additional capacity at Victoria, Oxford Road and Piccadilly has been built to cope with more through services
The first passenger service was at 08:40 on 10 December 2017: Manchester Victoria to Manchester Oxford Road followed by the return service continuing to Leeds.
It was envisaged that congestion at Manchester Piccadilly would reduce by a quarter, in part due to the reduced need for trains to cross the throat of the station, blocking other services. It was hoped there would be more frequent train services through Manchester.
However this has not yet materialised, particularly after the May 2018 timetable which created widespread disruption around Manchester. The Ordsall Chord's lack of use in comparison to its ?100 million cost has been attributed to a lack of capacity at Piccadilly, Oxford Road and Victoria to cope with increased 'through' services that the Chord generates.
Chief Executive of Network Rail, Andrew Haines, remarked upon the inadequacies of the infrastructure to support the Ordsall Chord as part of a review in Network Rail's operations:

Its early history is unclear, but it may have been founded in the 11th century on the site of a Roman fort overlooking a crossing of the River Lune. In 1164 the Honour of Lancaster, including the castle, came under royal control. In 1322 and 1389 the Scots invaded England, progressing as far as Lancaster and damaging the castle. It was not to see military action again until the English Civil War. The castle was first used as a prison in 1196 although this aspect became more important during the English Civil War. The castle buildings are owned by the British sovereign as Duke of Lancaster
part of the structure is used to host sittings of the Crown Court.
Until 2011 the majority of the buildings were leased to the Ministry of Justice as HM Prison Lancaster, after which the castle was returned to the Duchy's management. The castle is now open to the public seven days a week and is undergoing a large-scale refurbishment. There is a large sweeping public piazza, allowing access to the cloistered area, renovated in 2019. A new section of the caf?? has been built, against the old outer curtain wall, which was reduced in height to afford views of the neighbouring Lancaster Priory. This is the first 21st-century addition to the castle. Another renovated building adjoining the caf?? is leased to Lancaster University as a campus in the city with small conference facilities.

In 1164 the Honour of Lancaster, including the castle, came under royal control. In 1322 and 1389 the Scots invaded England, progressing as far as Lancaster and damaging the castle. It was not to see military action again until the English Civil War. The castle was first used as a prison in 1196 although this aspect became more important during the English Civil War. The castle buildings are owned by the British sovereign as Duke of Lancaster
part of the structure is used to host sittings of the Crown Court.
Until 2011 the majority of the buildings were leased to the Ministry of Justice as HM Prison Lancaster, after which the castle was returned to the Duchy's management. The castle is now open to the public seven days a week and is undergoing a large-scale refurbishment. There is a large sweeping public piazza, allowing access to the cloistered area, renovated in 2019. A new section of the caf?? has been built, against the old outer curtain wall, which was reduced in height to afford views of the neighbouring Lancaster Priory. This is the first 21st-century addition to the castle. Another renovated building adjoining the caf?? is leased to Lancaster University as a campus in the city with small conference facilities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PNA0WK - Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Minster, or the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln and sometimes St Mary's Cathedral, in Lincoln, England, is a Grade I listed cathedral and is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln. Construction commenced in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England, it was built in the Early Gothic style.
Some historians claim it became the tallest building in the world upon the completion of its 160 metres (525 ft) high central spire in 1311, although this is disputed. If so, it was the first building to hold that title after the Great Pyramid of Giza, and held it for 238 years until the spire collapsed in 1548, and was not rebuilt. Had the central spire remained intact, Lincoln Cathedral would have remained the world's tallest structure until the completion of the Washington Monument in 1884. For hundreds of years the cathedral held one of the four remaining copies of the original Magna Carta, now securely displayed in Lincoln Castle. The cathedral is the fourth largest in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft), after Liverpool, St Paul's and York Minster. It is highly regarded by architectural scholars
the Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: I have always held ... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have
When Lincoln Cathedral was first built, William the Conqueror granted the parish of Welton to Remigius in order to endow six prebends which provided income to support six canons attached to the cathedral. These were subsequently confirmed by William II and Henry I

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MGWK82 - New Hall Place (also known as The Capital and the Royal & SunAlliance Building) is a 13-storey brutalist style office complex in the commercial district of Liverpool, England. Due to its rough, beige exterior and proximity to the waterfront, it is also known by the local nickname 'The Sandcastle'.
History
It was developed by Royal Insurance as their head office building. As well as office space the building comprised a staff car park in the underground floors, a garage for the company chauffeur driven cars and staff facilities on the first floor including staff restaurant, sports hall, gymnasium and subsidised bar.
Following the 1990s merger of Royal Insurance with SunAlliance to form Royal & SunAlliance (RSA), numerous job losses followed largely through outsourcing and off shoring deals. RSA staff numbers based in the building reduced from over 3000 to around 1200. In 2006 RSA sold the building to George Downing and leased back the parts of the building still used by RSA. This allowed other tenants to move in such as the UK Border Agency. Downing renamed the building from New Hall Place to The Capital.
From 2016 The Capital is now owned by an American company Trinistar. New management took over in early 2016 from Lambert Smith Hampton To MJ MAPP LTD.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JGM7E8 - The Tower of Light is a 40-metre tall tower supporting and enclosing flues for a new low-carbon energy centre in Manchester's city centre. The biomimetic structure has built on the decade-long innovation and research, Shell Lace Structure, pioneered by Tonkin Liu and developed in collaboration with engineers at Arup. Learning from geometries in nature, the tower's form is its strength. The super-light, super-thin single-surface structure uses the least material to achieve the most. The tower is constructed from 6 and 8mm thick flat steel sheets, tailored, laser-cut, then welded together to create a curved stiff strong surface. Modern methods of construction using advanced digital modelling, analysis, and fabrication, combined with principles of tailoring, have made the Shell Lace Structure innovation possible. This is the largest built Shell Lace Structure to date.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DD8H4K - Conwy Castle (Welsh: Castell Conwy) is a fortification in Conwy, located in North Wales. It was built by Edward I, during his conquest of Wales, between 1283 and 1289. Constructed as part of a wider project to create the walled town of Conwy, the combined defences cost around ?15,000, a huge sum for the period. Over the next few centuries, the castle played an important part in several wars. It withstood the siege of Madog ap Llywelyn in the winter of 1294?95, acted as a temporary haven for Richard II in 1399 and was held for several months by forces loyal to Owain Glyndr in 1401.
Following the outbreak of the English Civil War in 1642, the castle was held by forces loyal to Charles I, holding out until 1646 when it surrendered to the Parliamentary armies. In the aftermath, the castle was partially slighted by Parliament to prevent it being used in any further revolt, and was finally completely ruined in 1665 when its remaining iron and lead was stripped and sold off. Conwy Castle became an attractive destination for painters in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Visitor numbers grew and initial restoration work was carried out in the second half of the 19th century. In the 21st century, the ruined castle is managed by Cadw as a UNESCO world heritage site tourist attraction.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JKA - The Brazen Head is located on Bridge Street. This is the area from where the original settlement that was to become Dublin got its name.
The Irish name for Dublin is Baile Atha Cliath ? (pronounced: Ball-ya-Awha-Clia) which means The Town of the Ford of the Reed Hurdles.
Beside the pub is the Father Matthew Bridge crosses the river Liffey. It was at this very spot that the original crossing of the river was located. Here reed matting was positioned on the river bed which enabled travellers to cross safely at low tide.
The Brazen Head is Ireland's oldest pub. In fact there has been a hostelry here since 1198. The present building was built in 1754 as a coaching inn. However The Brazen Head appears in documents as far back as 1653.
An advertisement from the 1750's reads Christopher Quinn of The Brazen Head in Bridge Street has fitted said house with neat accommodations and commodious cellars for said business.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG3YEA - Dublin's Coat of Arms is the identifying emblem of the city and has been in use, in one form or another, for at least 400 years. The full Coat of Arms shows three burning castles on a shield, flanked by two female figures
One of the female figures holds a scale and depicts Justice (without the usual blindfold), the other has a sword representing Law, while each holds an olive branch. Below the shield on a scroll is the city's motto, Obedientia Civium Urbis Felicitas, which translates as the obedience of the citizens produces a happy city.
The origin of the Coat of Arms is unknown, but there are numerous theories, including:
The castles are watch towers outside the city walls.
The castle is Dublin Castle and is repeated three times because of the mystical significance of the number three.
The castles are not castles but represent three gates into the ancient Viking city.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy TRN0YW - Aberdeen 2019 has been transformed into a vibrant and colourful artistic experience thanks to the return of an annual festival.
More than 100 artists are taking part in the Look Again Festival, which takes advantage of vacant or underused areas of the city and runs until June 16.
Among the highlights of this year's event, the fifth since it was launched, include a Colosseum-inspired colourful installation at the Castlegate and a virtual reality experience in Marischal Quad.
Another major attraction is The Bill Gibb Line, presented by Aberdeen-based writer Shane Strachan.
Gibb was the son of an Aberdeenshire farmer who took the fashion world by storm, with Elizabeth Taylor, Bianca Jagger, and Sandie Shaw wearing his designs in the 1970s.
Look Again co-director Sally Reaper said: In this, our fifth year, Look Again lasts longer and extends further than ever before.
With amazing participation from well over 100 artists, designers, makers, writers and performers, we really feel we are showing what a great creative community we have right here in the north-east.
We are so pleased to be highlighting this wealth of talent.
Our 2019 programme is bold and ambitious, outward-looking and connected, and we are delighted at the collaborations and partnerships that have emerged and continue to grow through Look Again.
An extensive series of talks, workshops and events will also give opportunities to learn more about the work of the participating artists and the creative industries in the north-east.
Launched in 2015, Look Again is now part of Gray's School of Art at Robert Gordon University (RGU) and also holds events throughout the year.
Libby Curtis, head of the art school, said: Look Again is fully committed to supporting the growth and development of Aberdeen's incredible creative industry ? support it critically needs in order to maintain its robust cultural offering but also to retain the fantastic artistic talent we have here in the north-east.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy TRN101 - BrewDog was founded in Fraserburgh in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie.
In 2010, BrewDog opened their first bar, in nearby Aberdeen. At the end of 2018, the company operates 50 bars in the United Kingdom and 24 international bars.
In 2011, BrewDog was described as one of the prime movers behind the campaign which changed the law in 2011 to allow new beer measures in Britain.
2011 also saw the company offered crowdfunding shares totalling ?2 million, the equivalent of 8% of the capital of the company. The shares were sold at ?23.75 and accompanied several benefits such as discounts in their bars and online purchase of their beers, and the opportunity to attend their annual shareholders meeting.
The main brewing moved from Fraserburgh to nearby Ellon in 2012.
In February 2016, BrewDog open-sourced its beer recipes to the public, making them a form of Free Beer.
Private equity firm, TSG Consumer Partners acquired a 22% stake in the company for approximately ?213 million in April 2017.
In February 2018, BrewDog announced that it plans to build a $30 million production brewery and tap room on an 11,000sqm greenfield site in the Metroplex complex at Murrarie, in Brisbane, Australia.
BrewDog's provocative marketing has been a key aspect of its business, and has gained them substantial international coverage.
In 2008, BrewDog were challenged by UK drinks industry watchdog the Portman Group. Portman had claimed BrewDog to be in breach of their Code of Practice for the labeling of the Dead Pony IPA. BrewDog denied these allegations and countered that Portman was impeding the development of smaller brewing companies. In December 2008, after an 8-month long dispute and a preliminary adjudication which had ruled against the company, BrewDog were cleared of all breaches of the Code of Practice and were permitted to continue marketing their brands without making any changes to the packaging.
In protest to their targeting, BrewDog introduced Speedball

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy TRN106 - Orkney, Shetland, Inverness, Ayrshire and Fife are among the regions represented in a series of 12 limited edition Tennent's fonts.
Designed to create ?stand out' on the bar, the fonts are currently being rolled out to selected pubs and bars across Scotland.
Eleven regions ? Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Fife, Stirling, Ayrshire, Shetland, Orkney and Inverness ? are represented along with a general Scotland design for outlets outwith the selected regions.
Each of the fonts, created by design agency D8, features landmarks and references from the region it represents, such as Edinburgh's Calton Hill, the Finnieston Crane in Glasgow, Aberdeen's Dunnottar Castle, Deep Sea World in Fife, Orkney's Viking longship, shinty in Inverness and Perth's Tay Bridge.
Alan Hay, on-trade sales director at Tennent's, said 250 fonts of each design will be rolled out this summer.
Supporting our customers will always be our priority, and following the success of our customisable founts, we are now rolling out fount designs for specific regions of Scotland, he said.
No other brand knows the Scottish on-trade like we do and we're sure the cultural references on each fount will create a real talking point amongst pub-goers
we can't wait to see how they look in bars around the country.
We want our drinkers to have a quality experience when enjoying a pint of Tennent's, and that starts with how our fount looks on the bar.
The roll out of the limited edition fonts comes after Tennent's extended its partnership with Scottish Rugby in a seven-figure deal.
Under the new agreement, Tennent's will continue its relationship with the Scotland national team and the country's two professional sides: Edinburgh and Glasgow Warriors, alongside the additional title sponsorship of the Scottish domestic leagues.
The brewer will additionally take on the naming rights of the Premiership and National leagues, with the newly-formed Scottish Championship to follow in 2019/2020.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2C9E2T7 - The Museum of Somerset is located in the 12th-century great hall of Taunton Castle, in Taunton in the county of Somerset, England. The museum is run by South West Heritage Trust, an independent charity and includes objects initially collected by the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society who own the castle.
Until 2008 the museum was known as the Somerset County Museum. Heritage Lottery Fund support was obtained to improve the museum, and the new museum reopened at the end of September 2011.
Exhibits include the Frome Hoard, the Low Ham Roman Mosaic, the bronze-age South Cadbury shield and a range of other objects relating to the history of the county.
In 1874 the castle was bought by the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society and between 1899 and 1900 the Great Hall was repaired and refitted as their chief museum space. In 1908-9 the Adam Library was created to house the society's growing collection of books. The society now leases it to Somerset County Council to house the Museum of Somerset. A substantial proportion of the items held by the Museum were originally collected by the Society.
In October 2007, plans for a ?6.5 million improvement to the museum and the castle were submitted by Somerset County Council to the Heritage Lottery Fund. It closed to the public on 18 April 2008 for a two-year refit, and reopened as the Museum of Somerset on 29 September 2011. Central to the new museum is the Tree of Somerset, a sculpture carved from oak from the Quantock Hills, which depicts events from Somerset's history

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PEHFP3 - Tanqueray is a brand of gin produced by Diageo plc and marketed worldwide. Although originated in London, it is now produced in Scotland. It does not command a sizeable market share in its native market, but its largest market is in the United States, where it is the highest selling gin import, followed by southern Europe.[1]
Tanqueray is a London dry gin
it is so called because of its distillation process, as well as originating in Bloomsbury, London. London dry gin is made by means of double distillation of grain. Botanicals are added during the second distillation. While the recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, it is known to contain four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root, and liquorice.
It is one of Diageo's 16 strategic brands earmarked for prioritisation in promotion and distribution worldwide.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2D8NX0H - Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a Grade II listed public house in Nottingham which claims to have been established in 1189, although there is no documentation to verify this date. The building rests against Castle Rock, upon which Nottingham Castle is built, and is attached to several caves, carved out of the soft sandstone. These were reputedly originally used as a brewhouse for the castle, dating from the medieval period.
The earliest known reference to the name Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem was in 1799. Before being known by its current name, it is believed that the pub was named The Pilgrim and references to this name date back to 1751. The current name is believed to come from the belief that pilgrims or crusaders would stop at the inn on their journey to Jerusalem. Some elements of the pub's name are misunderstood in the modern day: Ye Olde is properly pronounced the old and trip refers to a stop on a journey, rather than the journey itself.
Locals often use a shortened version of the name, the Trip.
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is one of several pubs claiming to be the oldest in England ? others that claim to be the oldest include Ye Olde Salutation Inn and The Bell Inn, also in Nottingham
The pub claims that it was established in 1189 AD ? the year that Richard the Lionheart became king and Pope Gregory VIII called for a Third Crusade to the Holy Land
however, there is no documentation to verify this date. Evidence suggests that caves in the rock against which the pub is built were used as a brewhouse for Nottingham Castle, and may date from around the time the castle was built in 1067.
The oldest parts of the current building were likely constructed between 1650 and 1660, though a map by John Speed shows a previous building in existence in 1610. By 1751 the building was being used as an inn with the name The Pilgrim, and was shortly after that date purchased by William Standford

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2D8NX32 - Cast in eight pieces of half-inch thick bronze (made to last 6,000 years) and weighing half a ton, the 7ft effigy of Nottingham's legendary outlaw proudly stands on a two-and-a-half ton block of white Clipsham stone. It is surrounded by small studies of Little John, Friar Tuck, Alan A Dale and Will Scarlett, whilst wall plaques illustrate scenes from the tales of Robin Hood & his Merry Men.
In typical outlaw style Robin Hood stands outside of Nottingham Castle, the point of his arrow aimed at the gatehouse and the establishment within.
Join celebrities and millions of visitors who have had their photo taken at the famous Robin Hood statue at Nottingham Castle.
History of the famous figure:
On 24th July 1952, the statue of Robin Hood was unveiled by the Duchess of Portland on the Robin Hood Lawn, beneath Nottingham Castle, in the remains of the moat on Castle Road.
It was a warm sunny day when 500 schoolchildren sat attentively on the grass in the special VIP enclosure to watch the ceremony of the statue and its complementary plaques and sculptures being revealed to the public, accompanied by a fanfare from the band of the Royal Lincolnshire Regiment.
Gifted to the city by local businessman, Philip E F Clay, the impressive figure was intended to provide something tangible for visitors to see relating to Robin Hood, Nottingham's world-famous folk hero. Mr Clay was a successful director of well-known city firms Elastic Yarns Ltd and Fine Wires Ltd and in 1949, at a cost of ?5,000, he commissioned the respected Royal Academy sculptor, James Woodford, to design and make the Robin Hood statue, plaques and statuary.
On completion, they were to be presented to the city to commemorate the visit of Princess Elizabeth and The Duke of Edinburgh on 28th June 1949 during the city's quincentenary celebrations. Mr Clay had originally wished to remain anonymous.

Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is a Grade II listed public house in Nottingham which claims to have been established in 1189, although there is no documentation to verify this date. The building rests against Castle Rock, upon which Nottingham Castle is built, and is attached to several caves, carved out of the soft sandstone. These were reputedly originally used as a brewhouse for the castle, dating from the medieval period.
The earliest known reference to the name Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem was in 1799. Before being known by its current name, it is believed that the pub was named The Pilgrim and references to this name date back to 1751. The current name is believed to come from the belief that pilgrims or crusaders would stop at the inn on their journey to Jerusalem. Some elements of the pub's name are misunderstood in the modern day: Ye Olde is properly pronounced the old and trip refers to a stop on a journey, rather than the journey itself.
Locals often use a shortened version of the name, the Trip.
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is one of several pubs claiming to be the oldest in England ? others that claim to be the oldest include Ye Olde Salutation Inn and The Bell Inn, also in Nottingham

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHBJWG - Hanson Cement is a cement production company located in the United Kingdom. It was called Castle Cement until it was rebranded in 2009. The company is now owned by HeidelbergCement. Hanson Cement has a long history dating back to the early 19th century, when it was founded as the Portland Cement Company.
The company was formed in 1981 through an amalgamation of three firms:
Tunnel Portland Cement Company Ltd (founded 1874) with plants at West Thurrock, Essex (1874), Pitstone, Buckinghamshire (1937) and Padeswood, Flintshire (1949).
Ketton Portland Cement Company Ltd (founded 1929) with a plant at Ketton, Rutland.
Ribblesdale Cement Ltd (founded 1937) with a plant at Clitheroe, Lancashire.
The company was acquired by HeidelbergCement in May 2007.
In 2005, the company's depot in Birmingham was sold and subsequently redeveloped as Curzon Gate.
Environmental concerns
The company admitted to numerous environmental offences over the years leading up to 2009, during a case in which it was fined 250,000 pounds by the Environment Agency Wales (EAW) in February 2010.
Operations
The head office is in Castle Hill at Maidenhead in Berkshire, and the works are located in Ketton in Rutland, Buckley in Flintshire, Clitheroe and Avonmouth near Bristol. The company has a marine terminal at Avonmouth that is used for the importation of cement in bulk, with samples from there tested at the Ketton site's laboratory each week to ensure they meet British Standards. Cement is also imported through the Humber ports.
Hanson Cement holds an open day at the Ketton production facility every year in July.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P4HWF9 - Castlefield is an inner city conservation area of Manchester in North West England. The conservation area which bears its name is bounded by the River Irwell, Quay Street, Deansgate and Chester Road. It was the site of the Roman era fort of Mamucium or Mancunium which gave its name to Manchester. It was the terminus of the Bridgewater Canal, the world's first industrial canal, built in 1764
the oldest canal warehouse opened in 1779. The world's first passenger railway terminated here in 1830, at Liverpool Road railway station and the first railway warehouse opened here in 1831.
The Rochdale Canal met the Bridgewater Canal at Castlefield in 1805 and in the 1830s they were linked with the Mersey and Irwell Navigation by two short cuts. In 1848 the two viaducts of the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway crossed the area and joined each other, two further viaducts and one mainline station Manchester Central railway station followed. It has a tram station, Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop (formerly G-Mex) providing frequent Manchester Metrolink services to Eccles, Bury, Altrincham, Manchester Piccadilly, East Didsbury and Rochdale.
Castlefield was designated a conservation area in 1980 and the United Kingdom's first designated urban heritage park in 1982

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDM13G - The peace lines or peace walls are a series of border barriers in Northern Ireland that separate Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods. They have been built at urban interface areas in Belfast, Derry, Portadown and elsewhere. The stated purpose of the peace lines is to minimise inter-communal violence between Catholics (most of whom are nationalists who self-identify as Irish) and Protestants (most of whom are unionists who self-identify as British).
The peace lines range in length from a few hundred yards to over three miles (5 km). They may be made of iron, brick, and/or steel and are up to 25 feet (7.6 m) high. Some have gates in them (sometimes staffed by police) that allow passage during daylight but are closed at night.
The most prominent peace lines in the past few years separate the nationalist Falls Road and unionist Shankill Road areas of West Belfast
the Catholic Short Strand from the Protestant Cluan Place areas of East Belfast
and the Protestant Fountain estate and Catholic Bishop Street area of Derry.
In 2008, a public discussion began about how and when the peace lines could be removed. While, on 1 September 2011, Belfast City Council agreed to develop a strategy regarding the removal of peace walls, a study was released in 2012 indicating that 69% of residents believe that the peace walls are still necessary because of potential violence. At the end of 2011, several local community initiatives resulted in the opening of a number of interface structures for a trial period.
In January 2012, the International Fund for Ireland launched a Peace Walls funding programme to support local communities who want to work towards beginning to remove the peace walls. In May 2013, the Northern Ireland Executive committed to the removal of all peace lines by mutual consent by 2023.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H4EDMC - Duke's Lock - Lock 92 on the Rochdale Canal
The Rochdale Canal runs for 32 miles from its junction with the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire to its junction with the Bridgewater Canal in Castlefield. Originally, the canal terminated in Dale Steet in the centre of Manchester (see below) because the Duke of Bridgewater refused to agree to it joining with his Bridgewater Canal.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H4EDMN - Duke's Lock - Lock 92 on the Rochdale Canal
The Rochdale Canal runs for 32 miles from its junction with the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire to its junction with the Bridgewater Canal in Castlefield. Originally, the canal terminated in Dale Steet in the centre of Manchester (see below) because the Duke of Bridgewater refused to agree to it joining with his Bridgewater Canal.
However, faced with competition from other canals he changed his mind and the Rochdale Canal was extended into Castlefield and The Duke's Lock - lock 92, facilitated the connection between the two canals. A lock keepers cottage was built beside Lock 92 and it is still there today.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H4EDP5 - Castlefield is an inner city conservation area of Manchester in North West England. The conservation area which bears its name is bounded by the River Irwell, Quay Street, Deansgate and the Chester Road.
It was the site of the Roman era fort of Mamucium or Mancunium which gave its name to Manchester. It was the terminus of the Bridgewater Canal, the world's first industrial canal built in 1764, with the oldest canal warehouse opening in 1779. The world's first passenger railway terminated here in 1830, at Liverpool Road railway station and the first railway warehouse opened here in 1831.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GGWH3P - Liverpool Town Hall stands in High Street at its junction with Dale Street, Castle Street, and Water Street in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and described in the list as one of the finest surviving 18th-century town halls. The authors of the Buildings of England series refer to its magnificent scale, and consider it to be probably the grandest ...suite of civic rooms in the country, and an outstanding and complete example of late Georgian decoration.
It is not an administrative building but a civic suite, Lord Mayor's parlour and Council chamber
local government administration is centred at the nearby Municipal Buildings. The town hall was built between 1749 and 1754 to a design by John Wood the Elder replacing an earlier town hall nearby. An extension to the north designed by James Wyatt was added in 1785. Following a fire in 1795 the hall was largely rebuilt and a dome designed by Wyatt was built. Minor alterations have subsequently been made. The streets surrounding its site have altered since its initiation, notably when viewed from Castle Street, the south-side, it appears as off-centre. This is because Water Street which ran to the junction with Dale Street, the west-east axis, was continuous and built up across the junction so that the Town Hall was not visible originally from that aspect. The structures were removed 150 years after this to expose the building from this position.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYAX3F - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ETRXCC - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world.[2]
Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh,[3] the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EC2T1T - Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle located on the north bank of the River Thames in central London. It lies within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, separated from the eastern edge of the square mile of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill.
It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. The castle was used as a prison from 1100 (Ranulf Flambard) until 1952 (Kray twins),although that was not its primary purpose.
A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under Kings Richard the Lionheart, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXHBR - William Brodie (28 September 1741 ? 1 October 1788), more commonly known by his prestigious title of Deacon Brodie, was a Scottish cabinet-maker, deacon of a trades guild and Edinburgh city councillor, who maintained a secret life as a burglar, partly for the thrill, and partly to fund his gambling.
Popular myth holds that Deacon Brodie built the first gallows in Edinburgh and was also its first victim. Of this William Roughead in Classic Crimes states that after research he was sure that although the Deacon may have had some hand in the design, ...it was certainly not of his construction, nor was he the first to benefit by its ingenuity.

Brodie's alter ego
Robert Louis Stevenson, whose father owned furniture made by Brodie, wrote a play (with W. E. Henley) entitled Deacon Brodie, or The Double Life, which was unsuccessful. However, Stevenson remained fascinated by the dichotomy between Brodie's respectable fa??ade, and his real nature and was inspired to write The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886).[1]
Deacon Brodie is commemorated by a pub of that name on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, on the corner of the Lawnmarket and Bank Street which leads down to The Mound, and a close off the Royal Mile, which contained his family residence and workshops, still bears the name Brodie's Close. A pub in New York City carrying his name sits on the south side of the famous west side 46th Street Restaurant Row between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue.
In 1997 a TV movie of the same name starring Billy Connolly was made in Edinburgh

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 21, 1732.
Edinburgh, the Capital of Scotland, has been a Royal Burgh since the reign of King David I, dating from between 1124 and 1127.
The arms resemble, but are not identical to, the device on the earliest known seals of the City of which fourteenth- and fifteenth-century impressions are on record.

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.

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

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 6357454651 - 'A cold evening in Oldham, with the town centre being dug up, a classic back catalog from the early JD &
Warsaw days. What more could you ask for? A special warm up for a unique tour.
Well I saw Joy Division a couple of times, the same number of times I have been to see the memoral to Ian Curtis in Macclesfield. You can be forgiven for expecting a lot.
I have got to say, Hooky and The Light made a good job of it. The Castle reminded me of the Russell Club in Hulme, it just needed lower ceilings. Down to about 7'.
Rowetta was here too. The EP containing unreleased Joy Division track \u2018Pictures In My Mind\u2019, \u2018Atmosphere\u2019 plus Rowetta\u2019s versions of \u2018New Dawn Fades\u2019 and \u2018Insight\u2019 are worth a download, see www.fac51thehacienda.com/node/2088
Everything sounded raw, stripped down. Particularly the Closer album tracks, the young folks will only know them with the Hannett gloss of polished production.
Hooky's voice is slightly rough and Mancunian too. He needed some pages of his lyric book. Theres no robotic dancing either, and not so much bass playing. He leaves much to Jack, although rips into it as an axe-man when he gets in the mood. Breaks a string too on the Eccleshall Viking 1 (in Red with Cream Binding), so then it becomes more of a prop.
Rowetta's 'Atmosphere' was a highlight for me. Maybe all along that track needed female vocals.
Overall Hooky did good. He wrote this stuff, its in his soul. Thats why he wants to tour and share it, he is certainly not doing for the cash!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 6056544163 - 'Lews Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Le\u00f2dhais) is a Victorian era castle located west of the town of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. The name Stornoway (Scottish Gaelic-'Steornabhagh') derives from 'Sjornavagr', the Old Norse for 'steering bay'. Stornoway has been settled since at least Viking times although there is archaeological evidence of Neolithic activity in the near vicinity of the town.
King James VI granted ownership of Lewis to the Mackenzies of Kintail in 1610. By about 1680, Lord Seaforth had established his estate house, Seaforth Lodge, on the Gearraidh Chruaidh, an area of rough sheiling ground on the west side of Stornoway harbour. Parts of this original building can still be seen within the stripped out walls of the mezzanine at the rear of the present Castle.
The castle was built in the years 1847-57 as a country house for Sir James Matheson who had bought the whole island a few years previously with his fortune from the Chinese Opium trade. It was designed by the Glasgow architect Charles Wilson.
In 1918, the Lewis estate including the castle was bought by soap industrialist Lord Leverhulme from the Matheson family. He gifted the castle to the people of Stornoway parish in 1923.
During World War II the Castle was taken over as accommodation for air and ground crew of 700 Naval Air Squadron, who operated a detachment of six Supermarine Walrus aircraft from a slipway at Cuddy Point in the Grounds. The base was referred to as HMS Mentor. It was also used for accommodation for students of Lews Castle College in the 1950s.
Today the building is owned by the local council, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (CNES) and is category A listed building.
The rather spooky wicker woman in the grounds of the castle (castle green) was created in July 2010 at the time of the Hebridean Celtic Festival.

Lews Castle (Scottish Gaelic: Caisteal Le\u00f2dhais) is a Victorian era castle located west of the town of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. The name Stornoway (Scottish Gaelic-'Steornabhagh') derives from 'Sjornavagr', the Old Norse for 'steering bay'. Stornoway has been settled since at least Viking times although there is archaeological evidence of Neolithic activity in the near vicinity of the town.
The Wicker Woman of Lews Castle looks extra spooky in infra-red. She has now blown down and been recently damaged after many months of gliding through the grounds.
It is a clever nod to the cult classic film 'The Wicker Man' (or the Wickerman) which was set on a fictional Summerisle, a remote Hebridean island famed for its popular and unusually abundant fruit produce. The film stars Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Britt Ekland. Paul Giovanni composed the soundtrack.
The story centres on the visit of Police Sergeant Howie to the isolated island of Summerisle, in search of a missing girl the locals claim never existed. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island practise a form of Celtic paganism.
The film was shot almost entirely in the small Scottish towns of Gatehouse of Fleet, Newton Stewart, Kirkcudbright and a few scenes in the village of Creetown in Dumfries and Galloway, as well as Plockton in Ross-shire.
The Wicker Man had moderate success and won first prize in the 1974 Festival of Fantastic Films in Paris, but largely slipped into obscurity. In 1977 the American film magazine Cinefantastique devoted a commemorative issue to the film, asserting that the film is 'the Citizen Kane of horror movies' \u2013 an oft-quoted phrase attributed to this issue
A remake, starring Nicolas Cage and Ellen Burstyn and directed by Neil LaBute was released on September 1, 2006. It was a failure at the box office and today it has a significant cult following as an unintentional comedy.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BG7KEJ - A decorated building with Mosaics in Liverpool ? the British and Foreign Marine Insurance Company Building, Castle Street
Castle Street, one of Liverpool's most historic streets, contains many splendid buildings, mostly of Victorian vintage, and among them one of the most lavishly decorated is the former British and Foreign Marine Insurance Company Building, nos. 3-5 Castle Street at the Old Town Hall end almost on the corner of Dale Street.
It is five bays wide at ground level, with more numerous windows higher up, with projecting bay windows higher up to the left and right ends, and a modest central portico with some slight emphasis given by a projection of the bay immediately above. Higher up ? there are five storeys above the ground floor including the dormers ? are a long balcony and pointy roofs.
The terra cotta sculpture is nicely done and consists, as is often the case, of rather small embellishments so that the effect on such a large building is to give some vague impression of adornment and encrustation rather than individual sculptures which hold their own as additions to the building. The various arched windows however give rise to considerable opportunity for leafy spandrels (see this page for general introduction to spandrel sculpture), rather good corbels, birds, and to revert to the nautical theme appropriate for the building, fanciful fish, scallops, etc.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BEW1ET - Newcastle upon Tyne commonly known as Newcastle, is a city in Tyne and Wear, North East England, 103 miles (166 km) south of Edinburgh and 277 miles (446 km) north of London on the northern bank of the River Tyne, 8.5 mi (13.7 km) from the North Sea. Newcastle is the most populous city in the North East, and forms the core of the Tyneside conurbation, the eighth most populous urban area in the United Kingdom. Newcastle is a member of the UK Core Cities Group and is a member of the Eurocities network of European cities.
Newcastle was part of the county of Northumberland until 1400, when it became a county of itself, a status it retained until becoming part of Tyne and Wear in 1974. The regional nickname and dialect for people from Newcastle and the surrounding area is Geordie. Newcastle also houses Newcastle University, a member of the Russell Group, as well as Northumbria University. Newcastle is member of the North of Tyne Combined Authority.
The city developed around the Roman settlement Pons Aelius and was named after the castle built in 1080 by Robert Curthose, William the Conqueror's eldest son. The city grew as an important centre for the wool trade in the 14th century, and later became a major coal mining area. The port developed in the 16th century and, along with the shipyards lower down the River Tyne, was amongst the world's largest shipbuilding and ship-repairing centres

Durham Castle is a Norman castle in the city of Durham, North East England, which has been wholly occupied since 1840 by University College, Durham.
The castle was originally built in the 11th century as a projection of the Norman king's power in the north of England, as the population of England in the north remained 'wild and fickle' following the disruption of the Norman Conquest in 1066. It is an example of the early motte and bailey castles favoured by the Normans. The holder of the office of the Bishop of Durham was appointed by the King to exercise royal authority on his behalf, the Castle was his seat.
Entrance to Bishop Bek's Great Hall
It remained the Bishop's palace for the Bishops of Durham until the Bishops made Auckland Castle their primary residence and the castle was converted into a college.
The castle has a large Great Hall, created by Bishop Antony Bek in the early 14th century. It was the largest Great Hall in Britain until Bishop Richard Foxe shortened it at the end of the 15th century. However, it is still 14 m high and over 30 m long.
The King Bishops had considerable power. From the seventh century A.D. onwards, in addition to his spiritual authority, the bishop of Durham also acted as the civil ruler of the region as the lord of a liberty, claiming local authority equal to that of the king. The bishop appointed all local officials and maintained his own court. After the Norman Conquest, this claim continued to be maintained by the bishop, and was eventually recognized with the establishment of the region as a county palatine. As holder of this office, the bishop was titled a prince-bishop, and considered the equivalent of an earl. Except for a brief period of suppression during the Glorious Revolution, this temporal power of the office lasted until all such authorities were abolished in 1836.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5890756904 - 'The road is named after the lost River Dene, which may have flowed along the Hanging Ditch connecting the River Irk to the River Irwell, at the northern end of Deansgate. ('gate' derives from the Norse gata, meaning way).
It begins now at Victoria Street but that street was a 19th-century creation: at the time the east side of Deansgate was occupied by Victoria Buildings (built by Manchester Corporation in 1876 but ruined during a bomb raid in December 1940 during the Second World War) on a triangular site (later a statue of Oliver Cromwell was placed at the northern corner commemorating Manchester's support for Parliament in the English Civil War). The statue was a gift to the city by Mrs. Abel Heywood in memory of her first husband Thomas Goadsby
it was the first large statue of Cromwell to be raised in the open anywhere in England.
At the northern end of Deansgate it becomes Victoria Street, on which lies Manchester Cathedral, and at the southern end is Deansgate railway station. At this point Deansgate connects with Bridgewater Viaduct and Chester Road (Whitworth Street West also meets it at this point). The section to the south of Peter Street was until the end of the 18th century known as Aldport Street (Aldport being the former name of the Castlefield area once separate from medieval Manchester).
The northern end of the street used to adjoin a retail area known as The Shambles. This was badly damaged in the IRA bombing in 1996. The area was eventually redeveloped and is home to several new buildings, including No. 1 Deansgate and the Manchester branch of Harvey Nichols.
Other recent additions to the Deansgate area include the Royal Bank of Scotland building, the Beetham Tower, and the redevelopment of the Great Northern Warehouse. These stand in contrast with historic buildings, such as the John Rylands Library and the Barton Arcade shopping mall. The disused Manchester and Salford Junction canal runs directly underneath Deansgate and below the Great Northern Warehouse.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF23J2 - A panorama at dusk over Edinburgh taking in St Giles cathedral, The Castle, Bridges and Princes Street from Carlton Hill.
Visable from across the city, Calton Hill is the venue for events at various times in the year. The Beltane Fire Festival every April (30th of the month) each year is popular and generally attracts over 10,000 people.. This is a revival of the ancient Celtic May Day festival of Beltane. The Dussehra Hindu Festival has also been held the last few years in early October.
On the hill are a number of interesting structures. These include Governors House, the original site of Calton Jail, the National Monument, Nelson's Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument, the New Parliament House (the Royal High School), the Robert Burns Monument, the Political Martyrs' Monument and the City Observatory. It is worth a walk up to it from Princes St. Follow the confusingly named Calton Hill lane up from the shopping centre.

Taken here between Christmas and New Year on the night of Hogmanay, the snow and ice of December give it a nice lightness, even at dusk. This is the calm before the storm as the party starts in Princes St and the gardens as the stage fires up to welcome in the new years celebrations. 2009 2010 2011 2012. Everyone needs a street party ticket and a wristband to enter the city arena area, unlike many years ago when it was a bit more easy going. Now there is a midnight torchlight procession from Parliament Square via the historic Lothian Edinburgh Royal Mile to the Son et Lumi\u00e9re and fireworks finale on Calton Hill. On Edinburg new years day the the loony dook is the place to take a swim at South Queensferry in the river Forth in the shadow of the Forth Railway Bridge over to Fife.
Edinburgh Castle is a castle fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, from its position atop the volcanic Castle Rock. Human habitation of the site is dated back as far as the 9th century BC, although the nature of early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle here since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
As one of the most important fortresses in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle has been involved in many historical conflicts, from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century, up to the Jacobite Rising of 1745, and has been besieged, both successfully and unsuccessfully, on several occasions. From the later 17th century, the castle became a military base, with a large garrison. Its importance as a historic monument was recognised from the 19th century, and various restoration programmes have been carried out since.
Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval fortifications were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The notable exception is St Margaret's Chapel, the oldest surviving building in Edinburgh, which dates from the early 12th century. Among other significant buildings of the castle are the Royal Palace, and the early-16th-century Great Hall. The castle also houses the Scottish National War Memorial, and National War Museum of Scotland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BE34D8 - Alnwick Castle (/????nk/ (About this soundlisten)) is a castle and country house in Alnwick in the English county of Northumberland. It is the seat of The 12th Duke of Northumberland, built following the Norman conquest and renovated and remodelled a number of times. It is a Grade I listed building and as of 2012 received over 800,000 visitors per year when combined with adjacent attraction The Alnwick Garden
Alnwick Castle guards a road crossing the River Aln. Yves de Vescy, Baron of Alnwick, erected the first parts of the castle in about 1096.[5] Beatrix de Vesci, daughter of Yves de Vescy married Eustace Fitz John, Constable of Chestershire and Knaresborough. By his marriage to Beatrix de Vesci he gained the Baronies of Malton and Alnwick. The castle was first mentioned in 1136 when it was captured by King David I of Scotland. At this point it was described as very strong. It was besieged in 1172 and again in 1174 by William the Lion, King of Scotland and William was captured outside the walls during the Battle of Alnwick. Eustace de Vesci, lord of Alnwick, was accused of plotting with Robert Fitzwalter against King John in 1212 In response, John ordered the demolition of Alnwick Castle and Baynard's Castle (the latter was Fitzwalter's stronghold),[9] but his instructions were not carried out at Alnwick

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GGWHBR - Liverpool Town Hall stands in High Street at its junction with Dale Street, Castle Street, and Water Street in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and described in the list as one of the finest surviving 18th-century town halls. The authors of the Buildings of England series refer to its magnificent scale, and consider it to be probably the grandest ...suite of civic rooms in the country, and an outstanding and complete example of late Georgian decoration.
It is not an administrative building but a civic suite, Lord Mayor's parlour and Council chamber
local government administration is centred at the nearby Municipal Buildings. The town hall was built between 1749 and 1754 to a design by John Wood the Elder replacing an earlier town hall nearby. An extension to the north designed by James Wyatt was added in 1785. Following a fire in 1795 the hall was largely rebuilt and a dome designed by Wyatt was built. Minor alterations have subsequently been made. The streets surrounding its site have altered since its initiation, notably when viewed from Castle Street, the south-side, it appears as off-centre. This is because Water Street which ran to the junction with Dale Street, the west-east axis, was continuous and built up across the junction so that the Town Hall was not visible originally from that aspect. The structures were removed 150 years after this to expose the building from this position.

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.

As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMWXK - A dramatic panoramic view of Edinburgh Castle rising above the city from its commanding position on Castle Rock, photographed from the National Museum of Scotland on Chambers Street in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. The medieval fortress, one of Scotland's most iconic landmarks, dominates the skyline as dark, brooding storm clouds gather overhead, creating a moody and atmospheric scene.
The image captures the contrast between the rugged volcanic rock of Castle Rock, the historic stone fortifications of the castle, and the dense urban fabric of Edinburgh below, including domes, spires, and rooftops typical of Scotland's capital city. The lighting and cloud cover suggest unsettled weather, common to the Scottish climate, adding drama and a sense of scale to the cityscape.
Edinburgh Castle has played a central role in Scottish history for over a thousand years and is a major symbol of national identity, tourism, and heritage. The wider Old Town and New Town areas of Edinburgh are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, recognised for their exceptional historic and architectural significance. This image is well suited for editorial use covering Scottish history, travel, tourism, culture, weather, urban landscapes, and European capital cities, as well as commercial projects requiring an instantly recognisable view of Edinburgh.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYAX3C - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison.
