Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6CX - The exterior of The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum, photographed on Albert Square in Dundee city centre, Dundee DD1 1DA. The imposing building, constructed in the Victorian Gothic Revival style, features symmetrical stone fa??ades, arched windows, decorative staircases and a central spire, reflecting the civic ambition of nineteenth-century Dundee.
Originally opened in 1867 as a memorial to Prince Albert, the building later became the city's principal museum and art gallery. Today, The McManus houses collections covering fine art, local and national history, archaeology, natural history and decorative arts, making it a key cultural and educational institution in eastern Scotland.
The museum's prominent position facing Albert Square places it at the heart of Dundee's civic life, surrounded by historic buildings, green spaces and pedestrian routes. Its architecture was designed not only to impress but to communicate the importance of public learning, philanthropy and cultural enrichment during a period when Dundee was a rapidly expanding industrial city.
The McManus continues to play a central role in Dundee's cultural identity, linking the city's industrial past with contemporary artistic and historical interpretation. Photographed in daylight under a bright sky, the image highlights the building's architectural detail and formal symmetry, offering strong editorial value for themes including Scottish heritage, museums and education, civic architecture, cultural tourism and the role of public institutions in urban identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6E7 - A decorative street sign for Bash Street, photographed in Dundee city centre at DD1 1LQ, mounted on a traditional stone wall and illustrated with cartoon figures referencing characters from The Beano, one of Britain's longest-running and most influential children's comics. The sign uses playful artwork and dialogue-style illustrations that directly evoke the comic strip The Bash Street Kids, first published in 1954.
Dundee holds a unique place in British publishing history as the long-time home of DC Thomson, the company behind The Beano, The Dandy and numerous other magazines that shaped generations of British childhood reading. Characters such as the Bash Street Kids, Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx and others became cultural touchstones, blending humour, mild anarchy and social satire in a style closely associated with post-war British popular culture.
The naming of Bash Street and the inclusion of comic-style signage reflect Dundee's conscious celebration of its comics and creative-industries heritage, embedding publishing history directly into the city's physical environment. Rather than a conventional street nameplate, the sign functions as a form of informal public art, combining wayfinding with storytelling and nostalgia.
Photographed in daylight with the textured stone background clearly visible, the image highlights the contrast between historic urban fabric and playful illustrated design. It offers strong editorial value for themes including British comics history, cultural memory, publishing heritage, humour in public space, and Dundee's role in the UK's creative economy, making it suitable for use in books, magazines, educational resources and cultural features.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6C0 - The engraved stone signage of Cork Savings Bank, photographed on the historic South Mall in Cork City, County Cork, Ireland (postal district T12). The image shows the bank's name set into the building's fa??ade above decorative wrought-iron railings, emphasising craftsmanship and permanence typical of nineteenth-century financial architecture.
Savings banks played a significant role in Irish social and economic history, promoting thrift and financial inclusion among working communities during a period of rapid urban and commercial growth. Cork Savings Bank was part of this wider movement, reflecting the city's importance as a regional centre of trade, shipping and finance in southern Ireland.
South Mall has long been associated with banking, commerce and professional services, forming one of Cork's most prestigious historic streets. Buildings along the Mall were designed to convey stability, trust and civic responsibility, values that were central to public confidence in financial institutions before the modern era of digital banking.
The architectural detailing visible in the image ? carved stonework, restrained classical proportions and ornamental ironwork ? reflects Victorian and Edwardian influences common to bank buildings of the period. Today, such structures contribute to Cork's historic streetscape and remain important markers of the city's commercial heritage.
Photographed in daylight with architectural textures clearly visible, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including Irish banking history, financial institutions, heritage architecture, urban commercial development and the preservation of historic city centres. It is suitable for use in history publications, financial commentary, education, and cultural or architectural features relating to Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAWWK - The Jeanie Johnston, a full-scale replica of a nineteenth-century emigrant ship, is moored on the north bank of the River Liffey in Dublin. The vessel commemorates the original Jeanie Johnston, which made multiple transatlantic voyages during the Irish Great Famine, carrying thousands of emigrants from Ireland to North America without loss of life.
With its tall masts, rigging and traditional wooden hull, the ship forms a striking feature of the Dublin Docklands waterfront, contrasting historic maritime design with the modern office and residential developments of the IFSC and surrounding quays. The replica operates as a floating museum and educational attraction, offering insight into Ireland's history of emigration and the experiences of famine-era passengers.
Situated along one of Dublin's busiest riverside routes, the Jeanie Johnston has become a recognised landmark and symbol of Irish resilience, memory and diaspora, frequently used to illustrate themes of migration, heritage, maritime history and national identity in Ireland.

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 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 2X9BPAR - A historic Modern Pharmacy display photographed inside Dr Duncan's public house at 9?11 St John's Lane in Liverpool city centre, England. The image shows an ornate wooden cabinet with carved detailing, topped with the words Modern Pharmacy, and containing a framed portrait of a nineteenth-century gentleman, evoking the era of Victorian medicine and apothecaries.
Dr Duncan's is a well-known Liverpool pub housed in a former insurance building close to St John's Gardens and Lime Street. The interior features a range of period displays and historical references, reflecting the pub's Victorian origins and the city's wider social and medical history.
Pharmacy-themed displays such as this recall a time when medicine was dispensed by local chemists and apothecaries, often operating from richly decorated interiors designed to convey trust and authority. Their presence within a modern pub setting highlights the layered reuse of historic buildings in Liverpool's city centre.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating Victorian interiors, pharmacy and medical history, British pub heritage, adaptive reuse of historic spaces, Liverpool cultural history, and period decorative design.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RWMEN5 - The Durham University Library is the centrally administered library of Durham University in England and is part of the university's Library and Collections department. It was founded in January 1833 at Palace Green by a 160 volume donation by the then Bishop of Durham, William Van Mildert, and now holds over 1.6 million printed items. Since 1937, the university library has incorporated the historic Cosin's Library, founded by Bishop Cosin in 1669. Cosin's Library and the Sudan Archive held at Palace Green Library are designated collections under Arts Council England's Designation Scheme for collections of national and international significance
two collections at Durham University Oriental Museum
Cosin's Library was established in 1669 by Bishop John Cosin. The building was built in 1667?69 by the Quaker architect John Langstaffe specifically to house Cosin's collection of over 5,000 books.
Expansion on Palace Green
The university library initially used the new gallery installed in Cosin's Library. However, after it received Martin Routh's library in 1855 this space proved insufficient and it expanded into the upper floor of the Exchequer Building next door. Additional donations came from Bishop Edward Maltby in 1856 and Thomas Masterman Winterbottom in 1859.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX189D - This image shows the remains of Hepworths store branding painted directly onto a wall, with the lettering partially faded and worn through age and exposure. The weathered surface, peeling paint, and distressed texture reveal the name Hepworths, once a familiar presence on British high streets as a major menswear retailer throughout the twentieth century. The fragmentary nature of the sign suggests a former shopfront that has since been altered, repurposed, or redeveloped.
Hepworths was founded in Leeds in the late nineteenth century and grew to become one of Britain's best-known clothing retailers, particularly associated with affordable men's suits and workwear. At its height, the company operated hundreds of stores across the UK and played a significant role in shaping everyday retail culture in towns such as Warrington. The decline and eventual disappearance of Hepworths reflects wider changes in British retail, including consolidation, competition from larger chains, and the shift toward out-of-town and online shopping.
The image captures themes of retail history, urban change, and the physical traces left behind as high streets evolve. The exposed lettering functions as a ghost sign, offering visual evidence of past commercial life embedded in the urban fabric. This photograph is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to British retail heritage, high-street decline, urban decay, nostalgia, economic change, and the social history of shopping in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX189P - This image shows St Mary's Shrine, a Roman Catholic church located on Smith Street in Warrington, Cheshire, England. The photograph captures the exterior of the building, focusing on its tall tower and red brick Gothic Revival architecture, with pointed arched windows and decorative stone detailing typical of nineteenth-century ecclesiastical design. The church stands prominently within the urban streetscape, marking it as a significant local landmark.
St Mary's has long been an important centre of Catholic worship in Warrington and serves as a shrine church, reflecting its wider religious and spiritual significance beyond the local parish. Churches of this period were often constructed to serve growing industrial towns, providing both religious facilities and a sense of community identity during periods of rapid urban expansion.
The image highlights themes of religious heritage, historic architecture, and the role of churches within English towns and cities. It is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to Christianity, Catholicism in England, church architecture, local history, heritage buildings, and urban religious landmarks.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJ3YRG - Buxton Town Hall was opened in 1889 on the Market Place in Buxton, Derbyshire, England. It lies in the town's central Conservation Area overlooking The Slopes. It is a Grade-II-listed building.
The building was designed in the style of a French ch?teau (with a mansard roof crested with iron railings, Venetian windows and a clocktower with a cupola) by Manchester architect William Pollard (who also designed Buxton College's Gothic-style 'new building' in 1880). After the Market Hall (designed by Henry Currey) was destroyed by a fire in September 1885, the site was selected for the new town hall. The fire brigade with the town's new fire engine was unable to control the fire started by a paraffin lamp in one of the shops in the Market Hall. A competition was held in 1886 for the design of the new town hall. William Pollard's design won the ?50 prize and James Salt's local firm was selected to build it at a tender of ?8,900 (Salt also built the Entertainment Stage theatre, which is now the Pavilion Arts Centre). The chairman of the governing Local Board, Edward Milligan, laid the foundation stone in June 1887 (the year of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria). The Marquess of Hartington conducted the official opening of the town hall on 26 June 1889.
The clock on the clock tower was a gift from the Duke of Devonshire's tenants in 1889, in honour of Lord Frederick Cavendish, who was stabbed to death aged 45 in the Phoenix Park Murders in Dublin in May 1882 (shortly after arriving to take up his new post as Chief Secretary for Ireland). There is a bust of Lord Cavendish (son of the 7th Duke of Devonshire) on display inside the town hall
Current use - High Peak Borough Council, formed in 1974, presently has administrative centres at Buxton Town Hall and Glossop Town Hall. Full Council meetings are usually held in Buxton or at Chapel-en-le-Frith Town Hall

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ33C - The Crumlin Road Courthouse, commonly referred to as The Crum, located on Crumlin Road in North Belfast, Northern Ireland, postcode BT14 6ST. The image shows the exterior of the nineteenth-century courthouse, with ornate stone detailing and iron railings in the foreground, reflecting the building's imposing civic design.
Completed in the Victorian period, the courthouse formed part of a significant complex of judicial and penal buildings in this area of Belfast, most notably its proximity to Crumlin Road Gaol. The courthouse played a central role in Northern Ireland's legal system and is closely associated with key periods of social and political history, including the Troubles.
Architecturally, the building demonstrates the grandeur and authority typical of Victorian civic architecture, with decorative fa??ades, classical elements, and elevated positioning above the street. Over time, security measures such as fencing and restricted access have become part of the site's visual character, reflecting changing uses and concerns.
Now repurposed as a visitor attraction and event venue, the Crumlin Road Courthouse forms part of Belfast's wider heritage tourism offer, interpreting the city's judicial history alongside its complex social past. Photographed in daylight under a partly cloudy sky, the image documents an important historic landmark within North Belfast and is suitable for editorial use relating to architecture, history, justice, and urban regeneration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3A1 - This image shows the Albert Memorial Clock, one of Belfast's most recognisable landmarks, located in Queen's Square in the city centre. The Victorian-era clock tower was erected in the late nineteenth century as a memorial to Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, and is constructed from sandstone with Gothic Revival detailing.
The tower is famously known for its noticeable lean, caused by subsidence due to its foundations being built on reclaimed land close to the River Lagan. This characteristic tilt has become a defining feature of the structure and a point of local pride, often likened humorously to continental leaning towers.
The photograph appears to have been taken in bright summer conditions, with a vivid blue sky and scattered white clouds providing a clean backdrop that emphasises the vertical form of the tower and the ornate stone detailing. Strong sunlight highlights the clock face and sculptural elements set into the lower section of the tower.
Surrounded by modern apartment buildings and urban infrastructure, the Albert Clock stands as a visual link between Belfast's Victorian past and its contemporary cityscape. The image captures both the monument's architectural significance and its continued role as a focal point within the everyday life of the city.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP36B - A bronze portrait bust of Rt Hon Andrew Bonar Law (1858?1923), displayed on a white plinth inside Coleraine Town Hall in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Bonar Law served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1922 to 1923 and remains the only British Prime Minister born in what is now Northern Ireland.
The sculpture depicts Bonar Law in a formal suit and tie, with a naturalistic and restrained style typical of early twentieth-century commemorative portraiture. The plaque beneath the bust identifies him as Rt Hon Andrew Bonar Law 1858?1923, noting his service as Prime Minister and his connection to Coleraine, reflecting the town's historical association with one of Britain's most senior political figures.
Captured in 2022, the image documents the continued public commemoration of Bonar Law within a civic setting, highlighting the role of town halls as custodians of local and national political heritage. The bust forms part of Northern Ireland's wider historical narrative, illustrating Coleraine's place in British political history and the enduring legacy of early twentieth-century Conservative leadership during a period of post-war transition.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXAF - A historic iron cannon mounted on the city walls of Derry / Londonderry, positioned between stone ramparts and overlooking the Bogside area of the city below. The cannon forms part of the extensive seventeenth-century defensive fortifications that encircle the historic city centre, which remain among the best-preserved walled cities in Europe.
The city walls were completed in the early 1600s and are closely associated with key events in Irish and British history, most notably the Siege of Derry (1689) during the Williamite Wars. Cannons such as this were installed as part of the city's defensive system, intended to protect the settlement and assert control over the surrounding landscape.
Today, the walls are a major heritage and tourism feature, offering panoramic views across different parts of the city, including areas that later became symbolically significant during The Troubles. The image captures the cannon in daylight under overcast conditions, with modern housing visible in the distance, illustrating the layered and complex history of Derry / Londonderry, where historic military architecture coexists with contemporary urban life.
The photograph is suitable for editorial and commercial uses relating to Northern Irish history, urban heritage, conflict studies, peace and reconciliation contexts, and cultural tourism.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXAH - Derry's walls were originally built by the Irish Society between 1613 and 1619, under the supervision of the London builder and architect Peter Benson. They were built with the intention of protecting the Scottish and English planters that had moved to Ulster as part of the Plantation of Ulster that had been established by James I. It was a direct consequence of the previous settlement being destroyed by Irish chieftain Cahir O'Doherty during O'Doherty's rebellion. As a result of the building of the city's defences by the Irish Society, which was a consortium of livery companies based out of the City of London, the city was officially renamed Londonderry in the 1613 royal charter. This is what has subsequently led to the naming dispute for the city and county of Derry/Londonderry.
The walls are at the centre of the historic city of Derry and within them are a number of Derry's most important landmarks including the Apprentice Boy's Hall and St. Columb's Cathedral (the first ever purpose-built Protestant Cathedral).
The walls are lined with 22 cannons from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, other cannons can be found displayed elsewhere in the city. Derry boasts the largest collection of cannons whose precise origins are known, with many of them being used during the Siege of Derry. In 2005, 24 of the cannons (including two displayed at Brook Hall) were restored to their former glory, with the famous 'Roaring Meg' located at the double bastion near Bishop gate
The fact that the city's walls have never been breached gave rise to one of its nicknames

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXAN - Derry's walls were originally built by the Irish Society between 1613 and 1619, under the supervision of the London builder and architect Peter Benson. They were built with the intention of protecting the Scottish and English planters that had moved to Ulster as part of the Plantation of Ulster that had been established by James I. It was a direct consequence of the previous settlement being destroyed by Irish chieftain Cahir O'Doherty during O'Doherty's rebellion. As a result of the building of the city's defences by the Irish Society, which was a consortium of livery companies based out of the City of London, the city was officially renamed Londonderry in the 1613 royal charter. This is what has subsequently led to the naming dispute for the city and county of Derry/Londonderry.
The walls are at the centre of the historic city of Derry and within them are a number of Derry's most important landmarks including the Apprentice Boy's Hall and St. Columb's Cathedral (the first ever purpose-built Protestant Cathedral).
The walls are lined with 22 cannons from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, other cannons can be found displayed elsewhere in the city. Derry boasts the largest collection of cannons whose precise origins are known, with many of them being used during the Siege of Derry. In 2005, 24 of the cannons (including two displayed at Brook Hall) were restored to their former glory, with the famous 'Roaring Meg' located at the double bastion near Bishop gate
The fact that the city's walls have never been breached gave rise to one of its nicknames
the Maiden City.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PC - This image shows a vintage advertising poster produced by the Cooperative Wholesale Society to promote Penguin umbrellas, a specialist product sold through cooperative retail outlets across Britain. The poster features a humorous illustrated scene of people sheltering beneath umbrellas, accompanied by the slogan It never rains in Manchester ? but you'll see penguins, playing on the city's reputation for wet weather and dry northern wit.
The Cooperative Wholesale Society, commonly known as CWS, was the manufacturing and wholesale arm of the British cooperative movement, supplying goods to local Co-op stores nationwide. Advertising material such as this poster combined practical product promotion with humour and strong graphic identity, helping distinguish cooperative goods from private retailers during the mid twentieth century.
The illustration style, limited colour palette, and bold typography are characteristic of postwar British commercial art, reflecting a period when posters were a primary means of mass communication. The use of penguins as a visual motif reinforced brand recognition for Penguin umbrellas while appealing to family audiences and everyday consumers.
Closely associated with Manchester and the wider Lancashire cooperative tradition, this poster also reflects the cultural values of the movement, including accessibility, shared ownership, and trust in everyday essentials. The image is well suited for editorial use covering British social history, cooperative retailing, vintage advertising, graphic design, and the cultural identity of northern England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PG - This photograph shows the frontage of the Original Co-operative Store on Toad Lane in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, widely recognised as the birthplace of the modern Co-operative movement. It was here, in 1844, that the Rochdale Pioneers opened a small shop selling basic goods under principles that would go on to influence cooperative retailing across Britain and around the world.
The modest red brick building, with its distinctive green door and bay windows, reflects the practical and unpretentious origins of the movement. The Rochdale Pioneers were working men seeking fair prices, honest weights, and ethical trading at a time when food adulteration and exploitative retail practices were common. Their principles, including democratic member control and the distribution of surplus to members, became the foundation of the global cooperative model.
Today the building is preserved as a heritage site and museum, forming a key part of Rochdale's identity and its contribution to social reform, retail history, and working-class self-organisation. The surrounding streetscape of Toad Lane reinforces the historical setting, offering a tangible link to nineteenth-century industrial Lancashire.
Photographed in clear daylight, this image documents an internationally significant site in the history of retail, mutualism, and social enterprise. It is well suited for editorial use covering British social history, cooperative economics, heritage preservation, and the development of ethical retailing traditions.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PP6X - This image shows a stained glass memorial window dedicated to the Inniskilling Dragoons, commemorating members of the regiment who died in 1854. The window features a richly coloured angelic figure holding a scroll, set within ornate Gothic tracery typical of mid-nineteenth-century ecclesiastical stained glass.
The Inniskilling Dragoons were a cavalry regiment of the British Army with strong associations to Ireland and later became part of the Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards. The date 1854 places the memorial in the context of the Crimean War, a major conflict that had a profound impact on British military history and public consciousness.
Victorian memorial windows such as this were commonly installed in churches as acts of remembrance, combining religious imagery with regimental identity and personal sacrifice. They served both as devotional objects and as permanent public records of loss, honour, and service.
Photographed closely to show colour, detail, and inscription, the image documents the intersection of religion, military history, and Victorian commemorative culture. It is well suited for editorial use covering British military heritage, Crimean War remembrance, stained glass art, church interiors, and nineteenth-century memorial traditions.

Long rows of parallel yarn threads running vertically down to spindles
Ring and traveller system at each spindle position
Yarn being twisted and wound simultaneously onto bobbins
Linear, repetitive layout typical of ring spinning rooms
This is not a spinning mule (no moving carriage) and not a drawing or roving frame (those do not insert final twist). Ring frames became dominant in Lancashire for their continuous operation, higher speeds, and suitability for finer yarns. cotton ring spinning frame inside a Lancashire spinning mill, representing one of the most important technological advances in industrial textile production. Ring spinning frames were used to twist and wind cotton fibres into finished yarn in a continuous process, replacing earlier spinning mule systems in many mills during the twentieth century.
Prepared roving from earlier processes such as carding and drawing was fed into the frame, where drafting rollers reduced the fibre thickness before twist was inserted by the rotating spindle and traveller running around a fixed ring. The finished yarn was then wound onto bobbins, ready for use in weaving sheds or for further processing.
Ring spinning offered higher speeds, greater consistency and reduced labour compared with mule spinning, making it especially suited to fine and strong yarns. Lancashire mills adopted ring frames widely as the industry modernised, particularly in large spinning towns such as Oldham and Bolton.
Preserved ring spinning frames are now commonly found in textile museums and heritage mills, illustrating the scale, precision and repetitive nature of industrial cotton production and the working environments that underpinned Britain's global dominance in textiles.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JBA - The large cylindrical beam wrapped with white yarn at the front is the warp beam, supplying thousands of parallel warp threads.
The machines are arranged in long, tightly packed rows, typical of weaving sheds rather than spinning rooms.
Overhead line-shafting and belt drives powered each loom individually.
The overall layout is wide, open and repetitive, designed for one weaver to supervise multiple looms.
This immediately distinguishes it from:
Spinning mules (which have moving carriages)
Ring frames (vertical spindles, no warp beam)
Carding or drawing machines (shorter, bulkier units)
What the loom did
A Lancashire power loom:
Took warp yarn from the beam
Inserted weft yarn across it (by shuttle in older looms)
Interlaced warp and weft to produce woven cloth
Wound the finished fabric onto a cloth roller
This was the final major stage of cotton manufacture, after carding, drawing and spinning.
Why this is classic Lancashire
Power looms dominated towns such as Burnley, Blackburn, Accrington, Chorley and Preston
Lancashire specialised in mass cotton weaving, often more than spinning
Sheds were built with:
North-light roofs for even daylight
Open floors to manage noise, heat and lint
A single weaver, often a woman, might operate four or more looms simultaneously
In short
This image shows Lancashire cotton power looms in a weaving shed, producing woven cloth from spun yarn.
It represents the end stage of the cotton process and one of the most recognisable interiors of Britain's industrial textile past. This image shows a row of historic cotton power looms inside a Lancashire weaving shed, a setting that became synonymous with mass textile production during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Power looms were used to weave spun cotton yarn into finished cloth by interlacing warp threads, drawn from the large beams visible in the foreground, with weft yarn carried across the loom.
The looms are arranged in long, uniform rows

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JD7 - This image shows a Victorian industrial poster headed Rules to be Observed in This Mill, issued in Haslingden, Lancashire, during the mid-19th century. The document sets out a detailed list of rules governing the behaviour, timekeeping, and conduct of workers employed in a textile mill, reflecting the highly disciplined nature of factory life during Britain's Industrial Revolution.
The rules include fines for lateness, talking, leaving machinery unattended, damaging equipment, or disobeying overseers, illustrating the rigid control exercised by mill owners over their workforce. Such notices were commonly displayed in cotton mills across Lancashire, where large numbers of men, women, and children were employed in spinning and weaving under demanding conditions.
The dense typography, formal language, and hierarchical tone of the poster convey the power imbalance between employers and workers in Victorian industrial society. References to overseers, deductions from wages, and dismissal for misconduct provide valuable insight into the everyday realities of 19th-century labour relations before the introduction of modern employment rights and health and safety protections.
Haslingden, located in the Rossendale Valley, was an important centre of the Lancashire cotton industry, and documents like this form a key part of the region's industrial heritage. Today, such posters are studied as primary sources for understanding social history, labour reform, and the lived experience of factory workers during Britain's transformation into an industrial nation.

It is well suited for editorial use covering Victorian funerary traditions, religious symbolism, London history, and the visual character of historic cemeteries in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3JR6A - This image shows an interior display at the House of Terror Museum on Andr?ssy ?t in Budapest, Hungary, featuring walls densely covered with Soviet-era propaganda posters, slogans, and illustrations. The materials are presented in both Hungarian and Russian, reflecting Hungary's position within the Soviet sphere of influence during the Cold War and the imposition of communist ideology following the Second World War.
The posters use the visual language of socialist realism, portraying idealised workers, peasants, soldiers, and party officials, alongside slogans promoting loyalty to the state, collective labour, industrial production, and ideological conformity. Bold colours, heroic figures, and optimistic imagery contrast sharply with the historical reality of political repression, surveillance, and restricted freedoms experienced under communist rule.
The display is intentionally overwhelming, with overlapping images and text forming a wallpaper-like collage that mirrors the saturation of propaganda in everyday life during the period. The mixture of languages underlines the dominance of Soviet authority over national identity, while also illustrating how messaging was adapted for local audiences within Hungary.
Photographed indoors under artificial lighting, the image emphasises the texture, colour, and density of the printed material, making it suitable for editorial use addressing themes of totalitarianism, propaganda, Cold War history, visual culture, human rights, and the legacy of communism in Central and Eastern Europe.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3JRBY - This image shows the interior door of a former prison cell at the House of Terror Museum on Andr?ssy ?t in Budapest, Hungary. The Hungarian words Beteg szoba, meaning sick room, are visible behind a glass panel in the heavy institutional door. In reality, such rooms were often used not for care but for the isolation, interrogation, or further punishment of prisoners held by the state security apparatus.
The House of Terror Museum occupies a building that was used first by the fascist Arrow Cross Party during the Second World War and later by the communist ?VH secret police. Thousands of people were detained, tortured, and imprisoned here as part of Hungary's experience of totalitarian rule in the 20th century. Cells and rooms like this form part of the museum's permanent exhibition, intended to confront visitors with the physical reality of political repression.
The worn paint, heavy metal fittings, and small inspection opening in the door emphasise the claustrophobic and dehumanising conditions faced by detainees. The image was taken indoors under artificial lighting, highlighting the texture and decay of the materials and reinforcing the atmosphere of confinement and institutional control.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use relating to European history, human rights, political repression, totalitarian regimes, memorial museums, and the legacy of fascism and communism in Central and Eastern Europe.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJHP4C - Dame Elisabeth Jean Frink CH DBE RA (14 November 1930 ? 18 April 1993) was an English sculptor and printmaker. Her Times obituary noted the three essential themes in her work as the nature of Man
the 'horseness' of horses
and the divine in human form
Although she made many drawings and prints, she is best known for her bronze outdoor sculpture, which has a distinctive cut and worked surface. This is created by her adding plaster to an armature, which she then worked back into with a chisel and surform.[10] This process contradicts the very essence of modeling form established in the modeling tradition and defined by Rodin's handling of clay
Frink kept up a hectic pace of sculpting and exhibiting until early 1991, when an operation for cancer of the oesophagus caused an enforced break. However, short weeks later Frink was again creating sculptures and preparing for solo exhibitions. In September, she underwent further surgery. Again, Frink did not let this hold her back, proceeding with a planned trip for exhibitions to New Orleans, Louisiana, and New York City. The exhibitions were a success, but Frink's health was clearly deteriorating. Despite this, she was working on a colossal statue, Risen Christ, for Liverpool Cathedral. This sculpture would prove to be her last
just one week after its installation, Frink died from cancer on 18 April 1993, aged 62, in Blandford Forum, Dorset. Stephen Gardiner, Frink's official biographer, argued that this final sculpture was appropriate: This awesome work, beautiful, clear and commanding, a vivid mirror-image of the artist's mind and spirit, created against fearful odds, was a perfect memorial for a remarkable great individual

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG1W2C - Heptonstall is a small village and civil parish within the Calderdale borough of West Yorkshire, England, historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The population of Heptonstall, including the hamlets of Colden and Slack Top, is 1,448, increasing to 1,470 at the 2011 Census. The town of Hebden Bridge lies directly to the south-east. Although Heptonstall is part of Hebden Bridge as a post town, it is not within the Hebden Royd town boundaries.
The village is on the route of the Calderdale Way, a 50-mile (80 km) circular walk around the hills and valleys of Calderdale
The place-name 'Heptonstall' is first recorded as Heptonstall in the 1274 Wakefield Court Rolls, and in 1316 in the Feudal Aids. The name means the stall or stable in Hebden. The name 'Hebden' means rose-hip dene or valley
Heptonstall was the site of a battle during the early part of the English Civil War in 1643.
Historically a centre for hand-loom weaving, Heptonstall's cottages and terraced houses are characterised by large first-floor windows to maximise the light for weaving
In the mid-1980s the paving on a road through Heptonstall was removed, revealing the original stone setts. Although there was a plan to remove the setts, local protests convinced the council to restore them. At the same time the existing concrete street lights were replaced with late 19th-century cast-iron gas lamps. Both developments acted as a traffic calming measure.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PGRW6T - The Tudor building on Church Street, Warrington is one of the town's oldest and most famous landmarks.
Here, we take a look at its centuries of fascinating history.
The grade two-listed building now houses an Indian restaurant ? aptly named the Cottage ? which opened following a lengthy, National Trust approved renovation of the premises in the early noughties.
Whilst frequently referred to as Cromwell's Cottage, Oliver Cromwell is only thought to have stayed the night at the now demolished General Wolf close by on August 20, 1648.
However, the cottage is where he sent dispatches proclaiming victories over Scottish Royalists during battles at Preston, Winwick and Warrington itself.
Today, a plaque commemorates that fact ? with Cromwell's victory at the Battle of Winwick Pass leading to the surrender of Scots forces on August 25.
The defeat of Royalist armies in the north of England ultimately hastened the end of the second English Civil War, and led to the execution of Charles I in January 1649.
It is believed that the cottage dates back to roughly the 16th century, according to a 2007 Warrington Borough Council report ? which states that the building was constructed in a ?late medieval style' after the road's original middle-age structures were destroyed.
Similar characteristics can be attributed to the other Tudor cottages on Church Street, with the nearby Bull's Head and Marquis of Granby pubs remaining as the street's oldest surviving buildings.

Down a short passageway on the rear right a sliding door leads into the small Trophy Room with Victorian fixed seating with carved arms / bench ends and bell pushes all around the room but, again, another modern brick fireplace. The front of the pub is three rooms opened up and modernised but the bar counter may be old with a modern frontage of carved panels added and an area on the front right does retain old fixed seating and bell pushes. Active bowling green at rear owned by the pub and a modern function room is used by a folk club (Sunday evenings).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P6JH9E - 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 Cunard Building. 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.
The ground floor contains the city's Council Chamber and a Hall of Remembrance for the Liverpool servicemen killed in the First World War. The upper floor consists of a suite of lavishly decorated rooms which are used for a variety of events and functions. Conducted tours of the building are arranged for the general public and the hall is licensed for weddings

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WXB - This image shows a commemorative plaque mounted on the exterior brick wall of Micklegate House, located on Micklegate in the historic city of York. The plaque states that the building was constructed for John Bourchier (1710?1759) and records that his ancestor, Sir John Bourchier, was one of the signatories to the warrant for the execution of King Charles I in 1649.
The inscription directly links the building to the legacy of the English Civil War and one of the most significant moments in British constitutional history, when Charles I was tried and executed following conflict between the monarchy and Parliament. Sir John Bourchier was among those who authorised the regicide, an act that profoundly shaped the future of the English state.
Micklegate itself is one of York's most historic streets, serving for centuries as the principal ceremonial route into the city. Buildings along the street reflect York's layered political, religious, and social history, and plaques such as this play an important role in interpreting that past for residents and visitors.
Photographed close-up to show the plaque text and brickwork clearly, the image provides a strong documentary record of heritage interpretation, civil war memory, and urban historical storytelling. It is well suited for editorial use covering British history, historic buildings, commemorative plaques, monarchy and regicide, and the historic streets of York.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD2442 - The Church of Saint Mary is an Anglican parish church serving the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire England. It was founded around 1110, although its interior dates chiefly from the late 18th century. The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 23 February 1954. It is situated on the town's east cliff, overlooking the mouth of the River Esk overlooking the town, close to the ruins of Whitby Abbey. Church Steps, a flight of 199 steps leads up the hill to the church from the streets below. The church graveyard is used as a setting in Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula.
A Norman church was built on the site around 1110 and added to and altered over the centuries. The tower and transepts are from the 12th and 13th centuries. The tower is square and crenellated, as are the walls.
One of the oldest parts of the church is the quire which has three round-headed windows at its east end. Its side walls originally had three bays with similar windows but have been altered. It has three aumbries, one with a small piscina. The nave has five bays and is contemporary with the quire, its south wall is much altered but three external buttresses remain. When the church was enlarged in 1818 most of the north wall was removed and replaced by columns to accommodate an aisle, four large square-headed windows were inserted on the south side, the south porch was built in 1823 and a north porch built in the new annexe. The ceilings over the nave are boarded with several skylights. The transept was built in the 13th century and has three altered lancet windows in its northern arm while its southern arm is considerably changed and its windows all replaced. A squint cuts through from the south transept to the quire.
The three-stage west tower has a squat appearance, its corners supported by flat buttresses and its embattled parapet is a 16th-century addition. Of its ring of eight bells, six are inscribed, Whitby 1762 Lester and Pack of London fecit and two were added in 1897

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JP2RPY - St James' Church is in the village of Audlem in south Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
The church dates from the late 13th century with additions in the 19th century. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Nantwich. Its benefice is combined with those of St John, Doddington, and St Chad, Wybunbury. The church stands in an elevated position in the centre of the village.
History
The church is not recorded in the Domesday Book and it is thought that the first building on the site was given by Thomas de Aldelim to the priory of St Thomas at Stafford in the reign of Edward I. After the dissolution of the monasteries the advowson was granted to the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield. The church dates from the late 13th and early 14th centuries. In 1855?56 there were additions and alterations by Lynam and Rickman
The church stands on a small mound in the centre of the village. It is built of red sandstone ashlar with a lead roof.[1] Its plan consists of a six-bay nave with an embattled clerestory, a tower at the northwest corner of the nave, a north aisle with a chapel at its east end, a narrower south aisle, a chancel and a south porch.
The church is approached through the south porch by 26 steps arranged in a semicircle. The south wall contains a former priest's doorway which has been walled up and its steps removed. The tower has on its west face a two-light window, above which is a pair of windows and above these is a circular clock. The belfry windows have two lights and are louvred. The top is embattled with pinnacles at the four corners

Its benefice is combined with those of St John, Doddington, and St Chad, Wybunbury. The church stands in an elevated position in the centre of the village. History The church is not recorded in the Domesday Book and it is thought that the first building on the site was given by Thomas de Aldelim to the priory of St Thomas at Stafford in the reign of Edward I. After the dissolution of the monasteries the advowson was granted to the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield. The church dates from the late 13th and early 14th centuries. In 1855?56 there were additions and alterations by Lynam and Rickman The church stands on a small mound in the centre of the village. It is built of red sandstone ashlar with a lead roof.[1] Its plan consists of a six-bay nave with an embattled clerestory, a tower at the northwest corner of the nave, a north aisle with a chapel at its east end, a narrower south aisle, a chancel and a south porch. The church is approached through the south porch by 26 steps arranged in a semicircle. The south wall contains a former priest's doorway which has been walled up and its steps removed.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JP0KBX - Macclesfield Sunday School is in Roe Street, Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. It started in 1796 as a non-denominational Sunday School in Pickford Street, which catered for 40 children. It was founded by John Whitaker whose objective was to lessen the sum of human wretchedness by diffusing religious knowledge and useful learning among the lower classes of society. Though chapels set up their denominational schools, the Sunday School committee in 1812 elected to erect a purpose-built school on Roe Street. The Big Sunday School had 1,127 boys and 1,324 girls on its books when it opened. The building is now known as The Old Sunday School and is part of Macclesfield Museums.
The role of the Sunday Schools changed with the Education Act 1870. In the 1920s, they promoted sports, and it was common for teams to compete in a Sunday School League. They were social centres hosting amateur dramatics and concert parties. By the 1960s the term Sunday School could refer to the building and not to any education classes, and by the 1970s even the largest Sunday School at Stockport had been demolished. The Macclesfield Large Sunday School was rescued and converted into the Macclesfield Heritage Centre.
The Sunday school closed in September 1973. It had stopped keeping registers in 1967 when average attendance was fourteen. Funds were disbursed to various missionary organisations. Though the fabric of the building was deteriorating it was listed as a Grade II* Listed Building because of its historical significance. Stockport Sunday School had already been lost. A new charitable trust, The Macclesfield Sunday School Heritage Trust, was formed and funds were raised and the building restored. Essential work and fitting out the museum cost ?500,000. The building is now known as The Old Sunday School and is managed by Macclesfield Museums. It has multiple uses which include a Museum with Victorian School Room

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JP0KCR - Built in 1775 by local industrialist Charles Roe, Christ Church was constructed of brick, using innovative cast iron columns to support the galleries. This is a very early use of cast iron in a church and may reflect Roe's innovative and entrepreneurial character.
The east window glass was given in memory of Charles Roe's son, daughter-in-law and grandson, and Roe's ornate monument, in marble, is on the south wall. It lists a detailed description of his achievements and shows in relief his silk mill (with waterwheel), his copper works in Liverpool, and Christ Church itself.
The interior resembles a modern concert hall designed so that the congregation could all see and hear the preacher. The original pulpit was more than 3.5 metres high, allowing the preacher to command the attention of his congregation throughout this large church. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism preached from this pulpit at least 12 times. Though now somewhat altered, the pulpit still survives. The outspoken preacher David Simpson, a radical socialist who championed the cause of the poor and helped found the Sunday School Movement was the much-loved first minister of Christ Church. A window depicting the Good Samaritan, commemorates him.
The church has a fine ring of 10 bells, which are still used regularly.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNBXKK - Moreton-in-Marsh is a market town in the Evenlode Valley, within the Cotswolds district and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Gloucestershire, England.
The town stands at the crossroads of the Fosse Way Roman road (now the A429) and the A44. It is served by Moreton-in-Marsh railway station on the Cotswold Line. It is relatively flat and low-lying compared with the surrounding Cotswold Hills. The River Evenlode rises near Batsford, runs around the edge of Moreton and meanders towards Oxford, where it flows into the Thames just east of Eynsham.
Just over 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Moreton, the Four shire stone marked the boundary of the historic counties of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire, until the re-organisation of the county boundaries in 1931. Since then it marks the meeting place of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.
Moreton-in-Marsh railway station on the Cotswold Line.
Moreton is derived from Old English which means Farmstead on the Moor and in Marsh is from henne and mersh meaning a marsh used by birds such as moorhens. An alternative suggestion is that 'Marsh' is a corruption of 'March', early English for boundary
Each September the town hosts the UK's largest one-day agricultural show. Held on part of the Batsford Estate, the show has been running since 1949.
Rail services to/from Moreton-in-Marsh station are provided by Great Western Railway. The fastest direct trains from London Paddington station take around 90 minutes. Since the opening of Worcestershire Parkway railway station in 2020 the fastest journey times from Birmingham have been cut to around 75 minutes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPDJJX - The Three Choirs Festival is a music festival held annually at the end of July, rotating among the cathedrals of the Three Counties (Hereford, Gloucester and Worcester) and originally featuring their three choirs, which remain central to the week-long programme. The large-scale choral repertoire is now performed by the Festival Chorus, but the festival also features other major ensembles and international soloists. The 2011 festival took place in Worcester from 6 to 13 August. The 2012 festival in Hereford took place earlier than usual, from 21 to 28 July, to avoid clashing with the 2012 Summer Olympics. The event is now established in the last week of July. The 300th anniversary of the original Three Choirs Festival was celebrated during the 2015 festival, which took place from 25 July to 1 August in Hereford (the landmark 300th meeting of the Three Choirs does not fall until after 2027 due to there being no Three Choirs Festivals for the duration of both World War I and World War II and COVID-19. The 2023 Festival will take place in Gloucester from 22 to 29 July.
The festival is closely identified with the musical careers of British composers Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams. The organists of the three cathedrals (who act as artistic director and festival conductor when it is their cathedral's turn to host the festival) are Geraint Bowen (Hereford), Adrian Partington (Gloucester) and Samuel Hudson (Worcester).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPMWNB - This is a 17th Century timber-framed building situated in the heart of Hereford High Town. Built in 1621, it began life as a butcher's home and shop and finished its commercial life in the hands of Lloyds Bank in the late 1920s. Since 1929 it has been a fascinating museum giving an insight into daily life in Jacobean times. It is furnished in period style with an internationally important collection of English oak furniture and there are interesting pieces in every room. Of particular interest to many visitors are the rare wall-paintings, the four-poster bed and the baby-walkers. There are hands-on activities for children including replica clothing and puzzles. For those unable to climb the stairs, a virtual tour is situated on the fully-accessible ground floor.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02DF - In London's East End, this former Victorian pub brings an airy escape to the streets of Spitalfields. Ideal for staycationers, solo travellers and loved-up duos alike, The Buxton hotel invites you to explore the streets of Shoreditch before heading to its panoramic rooftop for sundown cocktails.
We love a rags-to-riches story, so this Eliza Doolittle-esque tale of an East End boozer given a modern East London makeover warms our Cockney cockles. Housed in a former Victorian pub, The Buxton is a big-hearted homage to Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, a 19th-century MP and previously the owner of the nearby Truman Brewery (itself now a hub for creative businesses and a weekly street-food market). In his day Sir Thomas was committed to abolishing slavery, founding the RSPCA and raising money for the local weaving community - acts of generosity that The Buxton nods to through its work with neighbourhood charity Cardboard Citizens, which uses theatre to tackle the issue of homelessness. Its present incarnation is the work of the team behind nearby Spitalfields gastropub The Culpeper, of gigantic rooftop-gherkin fame. Architect Gareth Roberts and business partner Nico Treguer have revamped the building by adding two extra floors, a rooftop terrace and a stonking street-level restaurant/bar, a much-needed addition to the kebab shops that more commonly characterise this end of Brick Lane.
Interiors avoid the traps of steampunk junk and Edison bulb-lit bareness, instead balancing whitewashed walls and potted plants with cleverly sourced vintage elements such as a Rosso Levanto marble counter, sapphire velvet chairs in the hallways and a 50s terrazzo-patterned floor. While the rooms are compact to say the least, for a flat rate of ?100 (including a welcome drink and breakfast) it's a seductive option for staycationers, solo travellers and loved-up duos who fancy travelling no further than a few flights of stairs when going from dinner to duvet.

Formal gardens to the southwest of the hall are also listed at Grade II* on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. In the grounds are more listed buildings, a cruck barn being listed as Grade I, and the other buildings as Grade II. The hall was built for Rowland Egerton-Warburton between 1832 and 1845, to replace an earlier house on the site. Local architect George Latham designed the house in a style which has become known as Jacobethan, copying elements of Elizabethan architecture. A Gothic Revival chapel designed by Anthony Salvin was subsequently built next to the hall. By the mid-20th century parts of the house were in poor condition and were demolished, to be replaced by five private homes in a matching architectural style. The present gardens were created in the 1830s, and were developed during the 20th century. The garden's herbaceous border was one of the first of its type in Britain, and remains one of the finest. The house and its gardens have been open to the public since the 1960s, and have also been used as a film location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PE1J51 - The Berkeley Arms is a Grade II listed building. There have been many improvements to the premises over at least 800 years, the surviving oldest part being a 12th century barn, now a medieval style dinning area.
The cellars are built in very old stone. The very substantial main chimney supports many timbers of the newer front part of the premisses, suggesting alteration works around 1550.
Berkeley Arms Tewkesbury
Before the 1850's the Berkeley Arms was known as the 'Queen's Arms', however the former landlord 'Sam Pearse' was made bankrupt in 1843. He had borrowed ?2,000 against the pub, much more than it's value at the time.
Berkeley Arms Tewkesbury
No mention of the 'Queen's Arms' appears thereafter, but in 1849 a tenant called Hathaway occupies the premises. Licence records show he was registered as the Landlord of the 'Berkeley Arms' in 1869.
Wadworth's Berkeley Arms Tewkesbury With the increase in cycle touring in the 1930's, the Berkeley Arms became an 'Offical Stop-over' for the British Cyclists' Touring Club in the days of 'cloth caps' and arty 'silk mufflers'.
In the 1960's a string of here today gone tomorrow tenants led to a decline in trade, the Berkeley Arms almost closed. This quickly achieved what Temperance Movements had failed to do over many decades.
Around 1969 a new floor was put down in the bar, to do so workmen had to remove 7 layers of old floor going way back in time, no archaeological Time Team in those days.
The Berkeley Arm's fortunes were restored by Philip and Ruby Jones over their combined 23 year tenancy beginning in 1969.
In the 1980's an old sealed up back room was opened, the floor was covered in a deep layer of old 19th century books. These may relate to a clearing of cupboards and discovery in 1896 of various deeds, wills and other documents relating to the 'Queen's Arms' and a former town inn called the 'Quart Pot' (pulled down in 1837).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBM5A - Thelwall is a suburban village in Warrington, Cheshire, England, located close to the Lymm junction of the M6. It is a popular misconception that Thelwall is the 'smallest city in England' (although Thelwall is not in fact a city, nor if it were would it be the smallest in England as the City of London, which truly is the smallest city in England, is marginally smaller).
A fortified village was established at Thelwall in 923 during the reign of King Edward the Elder, which is mentioned in two very early sources, including the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle:
Kynge Edwarde made a cite at Thelewall in [th]e northe parte of [th]e Marches, nye the water of Mersee, where he put certeyne knyghtes.--Higden's Polychronicon[1][2]
A.D. 923. This year went King Edward with an army, late in the harvest, to Thelwall
and ordered the borough to be repaired, and inhabited, and manned. And he ordered another army also from the population of Mercia, the while he sat there to go to Manchester in Northumbria, to repair and to man it. This year died Archbishop Plegmund
and King Reynold won York.--Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
An inscription on the Pickering Arms records that In the year 920 King Edward the Elder founded a city here and called it Thelwall. According to Sir Peter Leycester it was so called from the stakes and stumps, cut from the trees, wherewith it was environed about as a wall. It is more likely that the original meaning of Thelwall was pool by a plank bridge (the earliest record of the name is in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 923 as Thelw??l, in 1241 it occurs as Thelewell).
Earthworks remain of an embankment, possibly part of these fortifications, found in the grounds of Chaigeley School. These remains are a designated English Heritage National Monument.
At Thelwall derive many stories of ghosts,[clarification needed] since many of the old buildings still remain in the area: sightings are relayed from the local pub, The Little Manor. However, there are st

It is a popular misconception that Thelwall is the 'smallest city in England' (although Thelwall is not in fact a city, nor if it were would it be the smallest in England as the City of London, which truly is the smallest city in England, is marginally smaller).
A fortified village was established at Thelwall in 923 during the reign of King Edward the Elder, which is mentioned in two very early sources, including the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle:
Kynge Edwarde made a cite at Thelewall in [th]e northe parte of [th]e Marches, nye the water of Mersee, where he put certeyne knyghtes.--Higden's Polychronicon[1][2]
A.D. 923. This year went King Edward with an army, late in the harvest, to Thelwall
and ordered the borough to be repaired, and inhabited, and manned. And he ordered another army also from the population of Mercia, the while he sat there to go to Manchester in Northumbria, to repair and to man it. This year died Archbishop Plegmund
and King Reynold won York.--Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
An inscription on the Pickering Arms records that In the year 920 King Edward the Elder founded a city here and called it Thelwall. According to Sir Peter Leycester it was so called from the stakes and stumps, cut from the trees, wherewith it was environed about as a wall. It is more likely that the original meaning of Thelwall was pool by a plank bridge (the earliest record of the name is in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 923 as Thelw??l, in 1241 it occurs as Thelewell).
Earthworks remain of an embankment, possibly part of these fortifications, found in the grounds of Chaigeley School. These remains are a designated English Heritage National Monument.

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 F7DC7P - National Dried Milk was a roller-dried powdered, full-cream milk fortified with vitamin D. It was intended for feeding to children at a time of milk rationing. It was also convenient for mothers. It freed them up from breast-feeding at a time when women had to go man the factories for the war effort. At first, it was available only to children under 1 year of age
later 2 years.
The National Dried Milk scheme had been announced by the fall of 1940
by then, physicians were debating how it should best be served to infants and whether full-cream was indeed the best for them.
The storage and distribution of National Dried Milk across the country was contracted out to a company called SPD. You needed ration coupons to purchase it with, and could only get it at chemists (i.e. pharmacies.) There was a proviso, though, which housewives learned to watch for: once the tin at the store was past the Not for consumption after... date, it could be sold to anyone, off-ration, providing a windfall bonanza to the lucky shopper.

It has a unique moving pulpit, a fourteenth century window, a window commemorating our hospitality to a Latvian Lutheran congregation, and a very attractive series of windows depicting the life of St Cuthbert. It is open every day during daylight hours. Our motto is: Christian Hospitality

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAT2NX - The Grassmarket is a historic market place and an event space in the Old Town of Edinburgh, Scotland. In relation to the rest of the city it lies in a hollow, well below surrounding ground levels.
The Grassmarket is located directly below Edinburgh Castle and forms part of one of the main east-west vehicle arteries through the city centre. It adjoins the Cowgate and Candlemaker Row at the east end, the West Bow (the lower end of Victoria Street) in the north-east corner, King's Stables Road to the north west and the West Port to the west. Leading off from the south-west corner is the Vennel, on the east side of which can still be seen some of the best surviving parts of the Flodden and Telfer town walls.
The Grassmarket tenements with the Castle shrouded in a typical Edinburgh haar
The view to the north, dominated by the castle, has long been a favourite subject of painters and photographers, making it one of the iconic views of the city.
First mentioned in the Registrum Magni Sigilii Regum Scotorum (1363) as the street called Newbygging [new buildings] under the castle, the Grassmarket was, from 1477, one of Edinburgh's main market places, a part of which was given over to the sale of horse and cattle (the name apparently deriving from livestock grazing in pens beyond its western end).
Daniel Defoe, who visited Edinburgh in the 1720s, reports the place being used for two open air markets: the Grass-market and the Horse-market. Of the West Bow at the north-east corner, considerably altered in the Victorian period, he wrote, This street, which is called the Bow, is generally full of wholesale traders, and those very considerable dealers in iron, pitch, tar, oil, hemp, flax, linseed, painters' colours, dyers, drugs and woods, and such like heavy goods, and supplies country shopkeepers, as our wholesale dealers in England do. And here I may say, is a visible face of trade
most of them have also warehouses in Leith, where they lay up the heavier goods

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ECW4F2 - located within the Roman Walls of this Historic City of Chester. The Three Kings Tea Rooms are housed in a 'Grade Two' Listed Building which dates from the mid 17th Century.
The building is constructed around a massive inner oak frame which incorporates a thirty foot cross beam and vertical house tree over eighteen feet six inches high.
Throughout the premises the timber frames and roof trusses are exposed with many of the panels retaining their original 'wattle and daub' infill.
One of the Stairwell timbers has recently been dated as early 12th Century making it the oldest, to date, located in Chester.
The Building was originally thought to have been the Tithe Store of the Earl of Shrewsbury who at one time owned the entire block in which this property stands.
He held the title of 'Sergeant of Bridgegate' with the right to take a toll from carts using the Old Dee Bridge, the toll being three coins of the period, which bore the Kings Head, hence the buildings present name.
A recent survey suggests that Chester's famous 'Rows' might have extended to this part of the City, but the earliest documented evidence is an engraving by Bateman of 1816 showing the property with twin gables.
Over the door is a sign which reads 'Dealers in Tea and Coffee'. The Georgian facade was added at the beginning of the 19th Century after which it was sold by the Shrewsbury Estate under the 'Act of 1862'.
Since then the building has been put to various uses from a Private Dwelling to a Wine Merchants, Refreshment Rooms, Bespoke Tailors and now, rather appropriately as 'The Three Kings Tea Rooms'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNM1 - These images show a historic sundial sculpture depicting a Moor figure at Dunham Massey, near Altrincham in Greater Manchester (postcode WA14 4SJ). The sculpture forms part of the estate's historic garden landscape and is accompanied by an interpretive plaque explaining its origins and symbolism.
According to the plaque, the sundial is in the style of one commissioned during the reign of King William III and represents Africa as one of the four continents recognised in European thought at the time. The figure is described as a Moor rather than an enslaved person and is believed to have been positioned at the site since before 1750.
Such figures, often referred to historically as Blackamoor sculptures, were common decorative elements in European gardens and interiors during the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, they are understood within a broader historical and cultural context, prompting discussion about representation, colonial perspectives, and the values embedded in historic art and landscape design.
The sculpture is shown holding a metal sundial aloft, set against the backdrop of the red-brick mansion and formal grounds of Dunham Massey. The inclusion of the explanatory plaque reflects the National Trust's approach to interpreting historic objects transparently and responsibly.
Photographed in daylight, these images are well suited to editorial use covering historic estates, garden sculpture, heritage interpretation, National Trust properties, art history, and contemporary engagement with complex historical narratives.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED1RF - There have been several town walls around Edinburgh, Scotland, since the 12th century. Some form of wall probably existed from the foundation of the royal burgh in around 1125, though the first building is recorded in the mid-15th century, when the King's Wall was constructed. In the 16th century the more extensive Flodden Wall was erected, following the Scots' defeat at the Battle of Flodden Field in 1513. This was extended by the Telfer Wall in the early 17th century. The walls had a number of gates, known as ports, the most important being the Netherbow Port, which stood halfway down the Royal Mile. This gave access from the Canongate which was, at that time, a separate burgh.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCE73P - Inside The famous Anchor Tap
Situated on the south side of the Thames in the Tower Bridge Conservation Area, this historic Southwark pub offers a truly traditional English experience. From the fish and chip suppers served, to the string of clearly designated separate rooms, upright piano, games room and open fire this pub effortlessly captures old-fashioned England.
Within the dark, oak walls of this late 18th century, former dock-workers pub, one of the most quintessentially English inventions took seed. Dr Samuel Johnson compiled his English dictionary in a special room inside The Anchor Tap. Originally a place for brewery employees to sample the fruits of their labour, a Tap Room was traditionally set up near its parent brewery.
The Anchor Tap was the first such establishment set up by British brewing legends, John Courage, and was located in close proximity to the former Anchor Brewery and the old Hop Exchange on Borough High Street. The Anchor Tap is an unpretentious, wharfside treasure offering a simple taste of a bygone English age.

Wufwig, Bishop of Dorchester consecrated a parish church at Lower Heyford in the 11th century. The current Church of England parish church of Saint Mary was built in the 13th century, and rebuilt in the Decorated Gothic style in the first half of the 14th century. The Perpendicular Gothic clerestory and south porch were added later. The building was restored in 1867?68.
In the reign of Edward VI the church tower had a ring of four bells. It now has a ring of six, of which the second and fourth were cast in 1766 by Matthew III Bagley of Chacombe, Northamptonshire. W&J Taylor cast the fifth bell in 1825, presumably at their then foundry in Oxford. Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry cast the tenor bell in 1867 and the treble and third bells in 1925.
The church is said to have had a 17th-century clock that was made in 1695 and removed during its Victorian restoration.
St Mary's is now part of the Benefice of Cherwell Valley along with five other parishes: Ardley, Fritwell, Somerton, Souldern and Upper Heyford.
In the latter part of the 17th century Lower Heyford had also a Quaker congregation. Lower Heyford had a Methodist congregation by 1804, which soon had a chapel in the village and eventually became part of the United Methodist Church. A new chapel was built in 1906, was still used for worship in 1955 but is now a private house

Marlborough is a beautiful, ancient town bristling with fine buildings - and they don't come much better than The Bear Hotel.
Arkell's bought the pub in 1987 and these days there is no mistaking a place that is enthusiatically listed in The Good Pub Guide.
With its front in the High Street, facing the old Town Hall, and its side in The Parade, The Bear Hotel is a magnificent sight. It is late 19th century Jacobean and Georgian in style and has looked this way since 1889 after it was luxuriously re-built, but there had been an inn here at least by 1757.
A directory of 1914 was emphatic in its praise of The Bear Hotel. The house is fitted with all the latest and best appliances, it said. Wines, spirits and cigars of the finest quality and good stabling. It was then called The Bear and Castle and at some point was rechristened - possibly to avoid confusion with other Marlborough pubs with similar names.

It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.
The original gate was guarded by a timber tower which was replaced by a stone tower in the 2nd century, and this in turn was replaced probably in the 14th century. The present gateway dates from 1768 and is a three-arched sandstone structure which carries the walkway forming part of Chester city walls. In 1899 a clock was added to the top of the gateway to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It is carried on openwork iron pylons, has a clock face on all four sides, and a copper ogee cupola. The clock was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. The whole structure, gateway and clock, was listed by English Heritage on 28 July 1955 as a Grade I listed building

Seventeen is the 7th prime number. The next prime is nineteen, with which it forms a twin prime. 17 is the sum of the first four primes. 17 is the sixth Mersenne prime exponent, yielding 131071. 17 is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n \u2212 1.
17 is the third Fermat prime, as it is of the form 24 + 1, and it is also a Proth prime. Since 17 is a Fermat prime, regular heptadecagons can be constructed with compass and unmarked ruler. This was proven by Carl Friedrich Gauss. Another consequence of 17 being a Fermat prime is that it is not a Higgs prime for squares or cubes
in fact, it is the smallest prime not to be a Higgs prime for squares, and the smallest not to be a Higgs prime for cubes.
17 is the only positive Genocchi number that is prime, the only negative one being \u22123. It is also the third Stern prime.
As 17 is the least prime factor of the first twelve terms of the Euclid\u2013Mullin sequence, it is the thirteenth term.
Seventeen is the aliquot sum of two numbers, the odd discrete semiprimes 39 and 55 is the base of the 17-aliquot tree.
In the United Kingdom, 17 is the minimum driving age for a car or van. An amazing Potterfactiod, In the Harry Potter universe, 17 is the coming of age for wizards.

The Roman Baths themselves are below the modern street level. There are four main features: the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum holding finds from Roman Bath. The buildings above street level date from the 19th century.
The Baths are a major tourist attraction and, together with the Grand Pump Room, receive more than one million visitors a year, with 1,037,518 people during 2009. It was featured on the 2005 TV program Seven Natural Wonders as one of the wonders of the West Country. Visitors can see the Baths and Museum but cannot enter the water. An audio guide is available in several languages.
In 2009 a grant of ?90,000 was made to Bath and North East Somerset Council to contribute towards the cost of re-developing displays and improving access to the Roman Baths, by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport/Wolfson Fund, which was established to promote improvements in Museums and Galleries in England.

All Saints Church, Thelwall, is in the village of Thelwall, Cheshire, England. The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth.
[edit] History
The origins of a church or chapel at Thelwall are unclear. It has been thought that a chapel was built by Richard Brooke of Norton Priory but a legal suit in 1663 suggests that there was a chapel on the site before this date. At this time Thelwall was in the parish of Runcorn. In 1663 the chapel on the site was restored by Robert Pickering. After this the chapel fell into disrepair. It was restored again and re-opened in 1782. By the following century the church was too small for its congregation and in 1843 a new church was built and consecrated. This consisted of a nave which was designed by J. Mountford Allen. In 1856 the chancel was built at the expense of James Nicholson and the nave was extended by one bay. In 1890 Henry Stanton commissioned a new north aisle, a new baptistry with a new font, and a new vestry. The aisle and vestry, together with a north porch, were designed by William Owen.
[edit] Architecture
The church is built in sandstone with steeply pitched slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave of six bays, a chancel of two bays, a north aisle and a west porch. A west bellcote has one bell.
The chancel has a floor of marble and coloured glazed tiles. The reredos has two panels of Biblical scenes in marble which are separated by plaster angels. In the church is a memorial to Edward the Elder who founded Thelwall in 923. This is dated 1907 and is by Eric Gill.[5] The frame of the memorial is by F. C. Eden and Helfar Bros.[1] From around 1884 the organ used had been built by Gray and Davidson, and in 1964 it was rebuilt by Jardine.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYF8B - Eastgate and Eastgate Clock in Chester, Cheshire, England, stand on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.
The original gate was guarded by a timber tower which was replaced by a stone tower in the 2nd century, and this in turn was replaced probably in the 14th century. The present gateway dates from 1768 and is a three-arched sandstone structure which carries the walkway forming part of Chester city walls. In 1899 a clock was added to the top of the gateway to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It is carried on openwork iron pylons, has a clock face on all four sides, and a copper ogee cupola. The clock was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. The whole structure, gateway and clock, was listed by English Heritage on 28 July 1955 as a Grade I listed building

Chester is a city in Cheshire, England. Lying on the River Dee, close to the border with Wales, it is home to 120,622 inhabitants, and is the largest and most populous settlement of the wider unitary authority area of Cheshire West and Chester, which had a population of 328,100 according to the 2001 Census. Chester was granted city status in 1541.
Chester was founded as a castrum or Roman fort with the name Deva Victrix in the year 79 by the Roman Legio II Adiutrix during the reign of the Emperor Vespasian. Chester's four main roads, Eastgate, Northgate, Watergate and Bridge, follow routes laid out at this time ? almost 2,000 years ago. One of the three main Roman army bases, Deva later became a major settlement in the Roman province of Britannia. After the Romans left in the 5th century, the Saxons fortified the town against the Danes and gave Chester its name.
Chester was one of the last towns in England to fall to the Normans in the Norman conquest of England. William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a castle, to dominate the town and the nearby Welsh border. In 1071 he made Hugh d'Avranches the first Earl of Chester.
Chester has a number of medieval buildings, but some of the black-and-white buildings within the city centre are actually Victorian restorations. Chester is one of the best preserved walled cities in Britain. Apart from a 100-metre (330 ft) section, the listed Grade I walls are almost complete.
The Industrial Revolution brought railways, canals, and new roads to the city, which saw substantial expansion and development ? Chester Town Hall and the Grosvenor Museum are examples of Victorian architecture from this period.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NW51KA - This cemetery has been documented since the 13th century, but is thought to have existed since the 11th century. Due to the repeated expulsion of the Jews from Mainz and the subsequent dissolution and destruction of the cemetery, one can no longer speak of an ideal situation that has grown over time. Only through the initiative of the then community rabbi Dr. In 1926, Sali Levi managed to create a memorial cemetery. There, the tombstones found in all parts of Mainz, some of which were used as building material, were brought together. Among the 196 stones, 6 are from the 11th century.

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.

The Church stands not east-west but square to the Roman Road north through Carlisle (the A6, in town Blackfriars St). It is therefore of early foundation, perhaps before St Cuthbert's visit to Carlisle in 685. The present Church, probably the fourth on the site, dates from 1778.
It has a unique moving pulpit, a fourteenth century window, a window commemorating our hospitality to a Latvian Lutheran congregation, and a very attractive series of windows depicting the life of St Cuthbert. It is open every day during daylight hours. Our motto is: Christian Hospitality
