Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97HX - A tight, documentary close-up of a blue civic plaque mounted on a red brick wall at Stockport railway station in Greater Manchester. The plaque headline reads CHANNEL ISLAND EVACUEES and the main inscription is fully legible, explaining that in June, July and August 1940 Stockport welcomed over 1200 evacuees from the Channel Islands, and that the children were cared for by local families until the islands were liberated in May 1945. Around the lower edge, the wording THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF STOCKPORT and a small municipal crest reinforce the official, local-government nature of the marker, giving the image strong value for accurate editorial captioning and search visibility.
The composition is simple and direct, designed to prioritise the readable text and the classic blue-plaque format. The brickwork texture and the slightly weathered surface add a sense of permanence and everyday realism, suggesting a plaque that has become part of the station environment rather than a staged memorial. Light appears cool and natural, consistent with winter or cold-season conditions, with no strong shadows, so the plaque reads clearly and evenly.
As a stock image, it works well for editorial uses around World War II remembrance, wartime evacuation, refugees and displacement, and the social history of communities taking in children and families during conflict. It is also useful for education, heritage, and local history storytelling, especially where an image is needed to represent Channel Islands evacuation history in mainland Britain. The station setting is significant, since rail travel was central to evacuation journeys and arrivals, and the plaque serves as a quiet reminder of how major wartime events intersected with ordinary civic places

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6DC - A bronze statue of Oor Wullie, photographed in Albert Square outside The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum, Dundee DD1 1DA. The sculpture shows the mischievous character seated casually, capturing the humour, cheekiness and working-class spirit for which Oor Wullie is widely known.
Oor Wullie first appeared in 1936 in The Sunday Post and quickly became one of Scotland's most enduring and recognisable comic characters. Created and published by DC Thomson in Dundee, the strip offered gentle social commentary on Scottish life, often reflecting everyday experiences, childhood mischief and community values. Alongside characters such as Desperate Dan and Minnie the Minx, Oor Wullie occupies a central place in Britain's comic and publishing history.
The statue forms part of Dundee's wider celebration of its comics and creative-industries heritage, embedding cultural storytelling directly into the city's public realm. Positioned in a prominent civic space near a major museum, the sculpture connects popular culture with formal cultural institutions, reinforcing Dundee's identity as a city shaped by publishing, humour and creativity.
Public artworks like this play a role in expressing Scottish national identity, using familiar characters to evoke nostalgia, accessibility and shared cultural memory. Photographed in daylight with historic stone architecture visible in the background, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including Scottish culture, national icons, comics history, creative industries and the use of public art to express place and identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6DH - A bronze statue of Desperate Dan, photographed in Dundee city centre within the Overgate shopping area, Dundee DD1 1UF. The sculpture shows the iconic Beano character captured mid-stride, holding a rolled newspaper and accompanied by his small dog Gnasher, reflecting the exaggerated strength, humour and bravado that defined the character.
Desperate Dan is one of the most recognisable figures from The Beano, the long-running British children's comic first published in 1938. Dundee has a central place in British comics history as the home of DC Thomson, whose publications, including The Beano and The Dandy, became staples of twentieth-century childhood reading and shaped British popular culture.
The statue forms part of Dundee's deliberate celebration of its comics and publishing heritage, with Beano characters installed as permanent public artworks within the city centre. Positioned in a busy pedestrian and retail environment, the sculpture integrates popular culture into everyday urban life, encouraging interaction, photography and engagement from residents and visitors.
Public artworks such as this play a role in reinforcing Dundee's identity as a creative and cultural city, linking its historic publishing industry with contemporary regeneration and place-making. Photographed in daylight with surrounding buildings and paving visible, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including British comics history, nostalgia, creative industries, public art and cultural identity in Scottish cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6DN - A bronze statue of Minnie the Minx, photographed in Dundee city centre close to the Overgate shopping area on High Street, Dundee DD1 1UF. The sculpture depicts the mischievous Beano character in an energetic pose, complete with oversized boots and slingshot, reflecting her rebellious personality and comic-strip origins.
Minnie the Minx is one of the best-known characters from The Beano, the long-running British children's comic first published in 1938. Dundee has a unique connection to British comics history as the home of DC Thomson, the publisher behind The Beano and The Dandy, whose titles shaped generations of childhood reading in the UK and beyond.
The statue forms part of Dundee's wider celebration of its comics and publishing heritage, embedding illustrated characters directly into the city's public realm. Positioned within a busy retail and pedestrian area, the sculpture bridges popular culture and everyday urban life, inviting interaction from shoppers, families and visitors.
Public artworks such as this play a role in reinforcing Dundee's identity as a creative city, linking its historic publishing industry with contemporary place-making and tourism. The presence of Beano characters in the city centre highlights the cultural and economic significance of comics as part of Britain's creative industries.

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 3DCX6F5 - The historic building of the Manchester and Salford Street Children's Mission, located on Wood Street in Manchester city centre, photographed with its original engraved stone signage clearly visible. The mission was established in the nineteenth century to support and reform vulnerable and impoverished children living in the rapidly expanding industrial cities of Manchester and Salford.
During the Victorian period, large numbers of children were affected by poverty, overcrowding, poor housing and limited access to education, particularly in industrial centres shaped by textile manufacturing and urban labour. Organisations such as the Street Children's Mission emerged as part of a wider philanthropic and religious reform movement, aiming to provide food, shelter, moral guidance and basic education at a time when formal state welfare systems did not yet exist.
The building itself is constructed in red brick with decorative stone detailing, typical of late Victorian civic and charitable architecture, and prominently bears the inscriptions Manchester & Salford and Street Children's Mission, underlining its regional scope and social purpose. Such inscriptions were often designed to make charitable intent visible within the urban streetscape, signalling moral responsibility and civic engagement to the surrounding community.
Today, the building stands as a physical reminder of Manchester's social reform history and the city's long tradition of voluntary action addressing inequality and child welfare. Its survival within a redeveloped city centre highlights the contrast between modern urban regeneration and the legacy of nineteenth-century responses to poverty and social injustice.
Photographed in daylight with architectural details emphasised, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including Victorian social history, charity heritage, urban poverty, welfare before the modern state, and the evolution of social care in Britain.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RW3X1R - You'll find Bambi's ? Be As Naughty As You Want in Seven Dials, Neals Yard London WC2.
Bambi pulls you into a fantasy world as Princess Diana becomes Mary Poppins, floating down from the sky with her umbrella and carpet bag to meet her grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Diana's carpet bag is from Harrods in recognition of Dodi al Fayed.
Bambi says I believe in this world with a sprinkling of fairy dust anything is possible, and dreams can come true.
Inspired by Prince William in a recent interview saying how sad he is that his mother never met her grandchildren and how much she would have loved them, Bambi adds If Di were here today you know she would be whispering to them Be As Naughty As You Want? Just Don't Get Caught.
Bambi is the pseudonym of a contemporary British street artist. Known for her stencilled graffiti works, Bambi creates street art to provide social commentary and address political concerns, often through the depiction of notable contemporary figures. Bambi recently gained international acclaim for her piece entitled Lie Lie Land, which features a dancing Theresa May and Donald Trump in the pose made famous by the movie La La Land

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFEPY3 - The statue of Betty Campbell in Central Square, Cardiff, commemorates a pioneering Welsh educator, community leader and campaigner for equality in education. Born in Cardiff in 1934 to Jamaican parents, Betty Campbell grew up in the city at a time when Black communities in Wales were small, often marginalised, and largely absent from public narratives. She trained as a teacher and in 1974 became Wales's first Black headteacher, taking charge of Mount Stuart Primary School in Cardiff Bay, an area then facing economic decline and significant social change.
Campbell was a strong advocate for multicultural education long before it became embedded in national policy. She worked to ensure that Black history, cultural awareness and anti-racist education were included in the school curriculum, believing that children of all backgrounds should see themselves reflected in what they were taught. Beyond the classroom, she played an influential role in local and national initiatives, contributing to the development of Black History Month in Wales and advising on equality and community cohesion. Her work helped challenge institutional racism within education and broadened understanding of Welsh identity as diverse and multi-ethnic.
Unveiled in 2021, the bronze sculpture depicts Campbell rising from a tree-like form, with children gathered at the base, symbolising growth, learning and the lasting impact of education across generations. Situated in Cardiff's redeveloped Central Square, the statue represents a deliberate effort to recognise previously overlooked figures in Welsh public life. Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents contemporary civic memorialisation in Wales, illustrating themes of education, representation, social progress and the evolving understanding of national history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RC6H69 - The Annual Traditional Orange Lodge Parades are returning to Liverpool and Southport this week to commemorate the 333rd anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne which took place in 1690. This year, nearly 70 lodges will be taking part on Wednesday, July 12.
They will be joined by some Orange bands - accordion and concertina bands, and some juniors. Many of the children will be dressed as King William and Queen Mary while the Provincial King, Queen and Bible Carrier are made up of young children from No 5 Enniskillen District who have been preparing for the event for over 12 months.
For the first time in many years, the parade will be led by a traditional pipe band with members from the Everton and District Pipe Band in full highland dress. Minibuses will be driving within the ranks of the parade to allow elderly members, some of whom have over 60 years of service to the institution in Liverpool, or members unable to walk to a full and active part in the proceedings.
This year's parade is the first in 71 years to take place with a king as the monarch. Special badges have been commissioned to celebrate the King's Coronation which took place in May.
Orange parades will take place in Liverpool, Dingle and Southport. The main parades will move off from Netherfield Road and Corn Street in the Dingle around 9am on Wednesday morning.
The parades will make their way to the city centre and meet around the vicinity of Lime Street to board buses to Southport before forming up on London Street, Southport at approximately 11.15am. As per previous years, upon arriving in Southport, Liverpool parade members will be joined by others from all over England including Bootle, Manchester, Sunderland, London, Corby, Birmingham, Sussex and many more locations.
Senior officers from Scotland and Northern Ireland will also join the parade to celebrate the day which will see approximately 3,000 to 4,000 people on the streets of Southport. There is always a carnival atmosphere at the event.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ33E - This image shows the Summer of 69 mural located on a gable wall at Hopewell Crescent in West Belfast, Northern Ireland. The mural depicts two children standing amid rubble and damaged buildings, referencing the widespread civil unrest and destruction that occurred in Belfast during the summer of 1969, a period widely regarded as the beginning of the Troubles.
Rendered in a restrained, illustrative style, the artwork uses muted tones and detailed line work to evoke memory, loss, and the impact of conflict on civilian life, particularly on children and families living in affected neighbourhoods. The surrounding painted scene of demolished housing and debris reflects the disruption to residential communities during that period.
The photograph was taken on a grey, overcast day, with low, diffuse light and heavy cloud cover reinforcing the somber tone of the mural. The weather conditions flatten shadows and enhance the subdued atmosphere, aligning visually with the subject matter.
Political and historical murals such as this remain a prominent feature of Belfast's urban landscape. They function as acts of remembrance, community storytelling, and public history, while also reflecting the ongoing complexity of how the past is interpreted and represented in shared space. The image documents how murals continue to shape identity, memory, and place in post-conflict Northern Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RBN9EC - This image shows a traditional No Ball Games sign, commonly found on UK council and social housing estates, mounted against a dark brick wall. Such signs have been widely used by local authorities and housing providers to regulate play and reduce noise, damage, or nuisance in shared residential spaces.
The phrase No Ball Games has become a cultural shorthand in Britain, often referenced in discussions about urban childhood, public space, social housing management, and community control. While originally intended as a practical estate-management measure, the signage is now frequently used symbolically in media and policy commentary about youth provision, play spaces, and social behaviour.
The image is well suited to editorial and conceptual use covering social housing, council estates, urban life, local government policy, childhood and play, community rules, and British social history, as well as nostalgic or critical perspectives on post-war housing design and regulation.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RBN9F0 - This image shows two classic official signs mounted on a high brick wall within a UK council housing estate: a yellow warning sign indicating CCTV in operation and a white sign stating No ball games. Together, the signs reflect common approaches used by local authorities and housing providers to manage behaviour, safety, and perceived antisocial activity in shared residential spaces.
CCTV signage has become a familiar feature across social housing estates, parks, and communal areas, intended both as a deterrent and as part of wider community safety and evidence-gathering measures. The accompanying No ball games sign illustrates long-standing estate rules aimed at preventing damage, noise nuisance, and conflict in areas close to homes, particularly where space is limited.
The pairing of surveillance warnings with behavioural restrictions highlights the tension often present in estate design and management between creating safe environments and limiting informal play or social activity. Such signage is frequently cited in debates around children's rights to play, urban design, and the lived experience of residents in public housing.
Photographed in daylight with clear legible text, the image works well as editorial material illustrating UK social housing policy in practice, local authority enforcement, community regulation, and the visual language of control and safety within urban residential environments.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGJW6W - A bronze public sculpture titled Alice Through the Looking Glass by artist Jeanne Argent, depicting the literary character Alice reaching forward in a moment of transition and discovery. The figure is presented emerging through a curved, glass-like frame, referencing Lewis Carroll's classic Victorian children's novel Through the Looking-Glass, part of the wider Alice in Wonderland stories. The expressive pose and stylised form emphasise imagination, curiosity, and the crossing of boundaries between reality and fantasy.
The sculpture is installed outdoors in a landscaped garden setting in Guildford, Surrey, surrounded by greenery and hedging, which enhances the dreamlike quality of the work. Jeanne Argent is known for figurative sculpture that draws on myth, narrative, and human emotion, and this piece reflects the enduring cultural influence of Lewis Carroll's writing on British art and public imagination.
Photographed in daylight during the growing season, the image shows the patinated bronze surface against lush foliage, making it suitable for editorial and commercial uses relating to public art, British sculpture, literary heritage, children's literature, education, tourism, and cultural landmarks in southern England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNTT - This image shows a close-up view of a blue hardback volume of the Children's Encyclopaedia Britannica, with the spine clearly titled Abbey to Arabs, indicating an alphabetical reference range. The book is positioned on a bookshelf alongside other volumes, reflecting a traditional printed encyclopaedia set commonly found in homes, schools, and libraries during the twentieth century.
Before the widespread use of the internet, encyclopaedias such as Children's Britannica were a primary source of general knowledge and childhood learning, used for homework, research, and curiosity-driven reading. The worn spine and classic typography evoke themes of educational heritage, literacy, and analogue knowledge, contrasting with modern digital information sources.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNXX - This image shows a row of red leather-bound volumes of The New Book of Knowledge, a well-known encyclopaedia series historically aimed at children and young readers. The gold-lettered spines and alphabetical volume titles emphasise the formal presentation typical of printed reference works produced before the digital era.
Encyclopaedias such as The New Book of Knowledge were once a staple of home libraries, schools, and classrooms, serving as an important source of general information and structured learning. The worn bindings and traditional typography evoke themes of educational heritage, childhood learning, literacy, and analogue knowledge, contrasting strongly with modern online information sources.

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.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering the Industrial Revolution, labour history, Victorian Britain, social inequality, textile manufacturing, and the historical development of workplace regulation in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JHF - This image shows exterior signage for the Kumon Maths and English programme at the Warrington South Study Centre in Grappenhall, Cheshire. The sign is mounted on a red brick wall and clearly displays the Kumon brand, subjects offered, and local contact telephone number.
Kumon is an international supplementary education provider offering structured maths and English study programmes designed to support children's independent learning outside the mainstream school curriculum. In the UK, Kumon centres are commonly located in residential or community settings and cater to pupils from early primary age through to secondary school level.
The signage reflects the recognisable Kumon visual identity, using simple typography and contrasting colours to emphasise clarity and approachability. The presence of both maths and English subjects highlights the programme's focus on core academic skills such as numeracy, literacy, and confidence in learning.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering private education, tutoring services, children's learning, education branding, community study centres, and the role of supplementary education in the UK schooling system.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PCB3G1 - The Warrington bombings were two separate bomb attacks that happened during early 1993 in Warrington, England. The first attack happened on 26 February, when a bomb exploded at a gas storage facility. It caused extensive damage but no injuries. While fleeing the scene, the bombers shot and injured a police officer and two of them were then caught after a high-speed car chase. The second attack happened on 20 March, when two small bombs exploded in litter bins outside shops and businesses on Bridge Street. Two children were killed and dozens of people were injured. Although a warning or warnings had been sent, the area was not evacuated in time.
The attacks were carried out by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and it has been claimed that members of Red Action were also involved
Shortly before midday on 20 March 1993, The Samaritans in Liverpool received a bomb warning by telephone. According to police, the caller said only that a bomb had been planted outside a Boots shop. Merseyside Police sent officers to branches of Boots in Liverpool and warned the Cheshire Constabulary, who patrolled nearby Warrington. About 30 minutes later, at about 12:25, two bombs exploded on Bridge Street in Warrington, about 100 yards (91 m) apart. The blasts happened within a minute of each other. One exploded outside Boots and McDonald's, and one outside the Argos catalogue store. The area was crowded with shoppers. Witnesses said that the first explosion drove panicking shoppers into the path of the next blast just seconds later. It was later found that the bombs had been placed inside cast-iron litter bins, causing large amounts of shrapnel. Buses were organized to ferry people away from the scene and 20 paramedics and crews from 17 ambulances were sent to deal with the aftermath

Participants of all ages are seen walking together, many dressed in green and carrying the Irish tricolour, reflecting Irish national identity and cultural pride.
St Patrick's Day is widely celebrated across the UK, particularly in towns and cities with established Irish communities. Events such as this provide an opportunity for cultural expression, community visibility, and shared celebration, while also attracting wider public participation and support.
The procession moves through a busy shopping street, with local businesses and passers-by visible along the route, highlighting how Irish cultural celebrations are integrated into everyday town-centre life. The mix of families, older residents, and younger participants reflects the intergenerational nature of the Irish community in Warrington.
Photographed in daylight, the image documents contemporary Irish diaspora culture in Britain and is well suited for editorial use covering St Patrick's Day, community cohesion, migration history, local identity, and multicultural life in English towns.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ29EG - Bacharach (pronunciation (help?info), also known as Bacharach am Rhein) is a town in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rhein-Nahe, whose seat is in Bingen am Rhein, although that town is not within its bounds.
The original name Baccaracus suggests a Celtic origin. Above the town stands Stahleck Castle (Burg Stahleck), now a youth hostel.
Geography
Location
The town lies in the Rhine Gorge, 48 km south of Koblenz.
Constituent communities
Bacharach is divided into several Ortsteile. The outlying centre of Steeg lies in the Steeg Valley (Steeger Tal) off to the side, away from the Rhine. This glen lies between Medenscheid and Neurath to the south and Henschhausen to the north on the heights.
History
In the early 11th century, Bacharach had its first documentary mention. It may have been that as early as the 7th century, the kingly domain passed into Archbishop of Cologne Kunibert's ownership
pointing to this is a Kunibertskapelle (chapel) on the spot where now stands the Wernerkapelle. The V??gte of the Cologne estate were the Elector of the Palatinate, who over time pushed back Cologne's influence.
Caring for and maintaining Bacharach's building monuments, spurred on in the early 20th century by the Rhenish Association for Monument Care and Landscape Preservation (Rheinischer Verein f?r Denkmalpflege und Landschaftsschutz) which took on the then highly endangered town wall and Stahleck Castle ruin jobs, and the great dedication of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate to the Wernerkapelle have seen to it that Bacharach is still a jewel of the Rheinromantik and a multifaceted documentary site of mediaeval architecture on the Middle Rhine. The Wernerkapelle ruin is under monumental protection and before it a plaque has been placed recalling the inhuman crimes against Jewish residents and also containing a quotation from a prayer by Pope John XXIII for a change in Christians' thinking in their relationship

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PPBF - This image shows a colourful Trick or Treaters Welcome sign placed in a residential garden decorated for Halloween. The sign is surrounded by seasonal props including skeleton figures, ghost decorations, and themed garden ornaments, creating a welcoming and playful atmosphere for visiting children.
In the UK, displaying a sign such as this has become a common way for households to signal participation in Halloween activities, particularly trick or treating. It provides reassurance to families and helps manage expectations within neighbourhoods by clearly indicating which homes are open to visitors.
Halloween has grown in popularity across Britain over recent decades, blending traditional folklore with modern community-focused celebrations. Garden displays and signage form part of this visual culture, transforming ordinary residential spaces into festive, themed environments during late October.
Photographed in daylight, the image offers a documentary view of contemporary Halloween customs in the UK. It is well suited for editorial use covering seasonal traditions, family activities, community life, autumn celebrations, and cultural change.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRR07R - mosaic has been unveiled at Padgate Station as ?200,000 renovation work continues.
The artwork, commissioned and funded by the Friends of Padgate Station, was unveiled by Cllr Tony Higgins on Tuesday, December 19.
Ceramics artist Deborah Podmore enlisted the help of pupil from Christ Church Church of England Primary School on Station Road in Padgate to create the piece.
Featuring thumbprints of every child at the school, the mosaic depicts Padgate Station, RAF Padgate and Christ Church Padgate.
Founded in 2016, the Friends of Padgate Station is part of the Longbarn Residents Association and is planning ?200,000 of improvements at the site.
Chairman Bob McLaughlin said: The mosaic is framed by tiles made by the children with the thumbprints of every child in the school along with their initials to remind all future generations of this beautiful piece of artwork and an excellent example of a local community project.
The unveiling marks the first phase of art being commissioned by the Friends of Padgate Station.
Phase two is due to be unveiled towards the end of January, whereby all the boarded up windows on the platform side of the main station building will be covered with 3D artwork depicting Padgate - both modern and for generations past.
The friends group has been in long term discussions with Northern Rail with the aim to have the station completely revamped in the future - hopefully along the lines of Irlam Station - to make it a community asset for the future and something for all residents in the area to be proud of, rather than the dowdy image it projects at the moment.
More than 200 pupils from Christ Church as well as parents, grandparents and dignitaries were present at the grand unveiling of the mosaic.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JP8TA2 - Cub Scouts, often shortened to Cubs, are a section of Scouting operated by The Scout Association with a core age of eight to ten and a half years of age. This section follows on from the Beaver Scouts (6-8 year olds) and precedes the Scout section (10?-14 year olds).
Originally beginning in 1916 as Wolf Cubs, the section gained its current name in 1966 as a result of the Advance Party Report. Because of this early name, the section has themed links to wolves and the novel The Jungle Book with the section being called a Cub Pack and the volunteer leaders taking their names from this story.
Cub Scouts has been open to both boys and girls since 1991 as well as those of different faiths and none. Cub Scouts wear a green sweatshirt for their uniform and earn badges for skills learned and challenges overcome
In 2014, the Scouting for All strategic plan for the next four years was launched that included an increased focus of community impact, youth voice and inclusion in the programme and which emerged from youth feedback. Off the back of this, a refresh of the programme was scheduled for 2015 and in April 2014, the Scout Association released four new activity badges and one new staged activity badge which were to be added as part of the refresh

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X9BP77 - A memorial stone dedicated to Tim Parry and Johnathan Ball on Bridge Street in Warrington, Cheshire, England, photographed with flowers and soft toys placed at its base. The tribute commemorates the two children killed in the IRA bombing that took place in the town centre in March 1993.
The memorial stands close to the site of the attack and has become a focal point for remembrance, reflection, and peace advocacy. The presence of children's toys alongside floral tributes highlights the loss of young lives and the lasting emotional impact of the bombing on the local community and the wider public.
The Warrington bombing remains one of the most significant incidents of mainland UK terrorism linked to the Northern Ireland conflict. Memorials such as this serve both as acts of remembrance and as public statements against violence, often attracting tributes on anniversaries and during periods of renewed public reflection on peace and reconciliation.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating UK terrorism memorials, public remembrance, community responses to violence, British social history, the legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict in England, and civic spaces of memory and reflection.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07AE6 - The Little Princess Trust is a UK charity that provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people, up to the age of 24, who have lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment or other illnesses.
The charity was originally set up in memory of five-year-old Hannah Tarplee who died as a result of cancer in June 2005. Hannah loved her hair so when she underwent treatment for a Wilms' tumour, the loss of her hair was especially traumatic. When Hannah died, her parents felt the most fitting tribute would be a charity dedicated to providing wigs, free of charge, to children who had lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other conditions. The Little Princess Trust was born and the charity has since helped thousands of young people regain their confidence and identity by giving them a real hair wig.
Thanks to fundraising from its family of supporters, the Little Princess Trust has also committed more than ?20 million to projects focused on kinder and more effective treatments for childhood cancers.
The charity's headquarters are currently based at The Hannah Tarplee Building in Berrington Street, Hereford. Phil Brace is the chief executive officer and Wendy Tarplee-Morris, the mother of Hannah Tarplee, is the Director of Service & Impact.
The Little Princess Trust is a registered charity (1176160). Due to a demand for longer wigs, the charity is asking its supporters to donate hair lengths of 12 inches and above

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJG0AW - On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in North Kensington, West London, at 00:54 BST. 72 people died, including two who later died in hospital, with more than 70 others being injured and 223 people escaping. It was the deadliest structural fire in the United Kingdom since the 1988 Piper Alpha oil-platform disaster and the worst UK residential fire since World War II.
The fire was started by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor. It spread rapidly up the building's exterior, bringing fire and smoke to all the residential floors. This was due to the building's new cladding and the external insulation, since the air gap between them enabled the stack effect. The fire burned for about 60 hours before finally being extinguished. More than 250 London Fire Brigade firefighters and 70 fire engines from stations across London were involved in efforts to control the fire and rescue residents. More than 100 London Ambulance Service crews on at least 20 ambulances attended the scene, joined by specialist paramedics from the Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response Team. The Metropolitan Police and London's Air Ambulance also assisted the rescue effort.
Five years after 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire, which broke out on June 14, 2017, the UK government has announced plans to ban the type of cladding used to cover the external walls of the North Kensington high-rise. These revised building regulations are to be put into effect in December 2022.
The inquiry into the disaster concluded, in its first report in 2019, that this cladding ? polyethylene-filled aluminium composite panels, to be specific ? was responsible for the fire spreading so quickly..

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M108BJ - Erected to commemorate Christ's Hospital School's 350 year presence in the City of London, from 1552 to 1902. The sculpture is designed to curve gently, reflecting the care and support provided to children, who flow from the youngest entering the school to confident adolescents marching boldly into their futures. The back of the sculpture features a verse written about Christ's Hospital by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who was a pupil from 1781 to 1791, along with a copper plate drawing of the Priory buildings at the time the school first occupied the site in 1552. The sculpture gives life to the essence of the school and its charitable mission to educate children in particular need, regardless of means. The famous Tudor uniform and marching depicted in the piece are synonymous with Christ's Hospital today.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JC615W - Anger over Grappenhall ?eyesore' site empty for 25 years
ANGER is mounting over an ?eyesore' building in Grappenhall which has been empty for around 25 years.
Grappenhall councillors Ryan Bate and Mike Biggin, along with residents, are growing increasingly frustrated at the condition of the Rectory site, on Church Lane.
Cllr Bate has labelled the state of the property as a ?disgrace'.
It is both an eyesore and a danger ? and has been for too long, he said.
About four years ago Warrington Borough Council (WBC), under pressure from Liberal Democrat councillors, had drawn up plans for a compulsory purchase having gone through a long series of enforcement steps.
Then at the eleventh hour the owner died.
Since then, the ownership has been going through a long and protracted probate process, perhaps deliberately so.
From what I hear, the owners had a number of similar historic properties across Cheshire and their working model seemed to be to allow them to fall into a state of disrepair.
I'm not sure what their endgame would be but could speculate.
The two Liberal Democrat councillors have also vowed to continue pressing council chief executive Steven Broomhead over the situation.
Cllr Bate added: Mike and I are in the process of asking for a further update from WBC and are asking Mr Broomhead to intervene to ensure that this is made a priority as it has been an ongoing issue for too long and no suitable solution seems to be within a satisfactory timeframe.
Town Hall chiefs have acknowledged the concerns from residents as they continue to assess the situation.
A WBC spokesman said: The Rectory has been vacant for approximately 25 years.
Its ownership has been a complex issue and we are prioritising a solution as it is unfair on the residents and visitors to this beautiful part of Grappenhall to continue to witness it in its dilapidated state.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AERR67 - Primark is an Irish fast fashion retailer with headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, and a subsidiary of the British food processing and retail company ABF. The company is named Penneys in the Republic of Ireland, where it was founded. The Penneys brand is not used outside of Ireland because it is owned elsewhere by American retailer J. C. Penney. The company has operations in Europe and the United States.
The company's first store, still in operation, was founded by Arthur Ryan on behalf of the Weston family (who had founded Associated British Foods in 1935) in June 1969 on 47 Mary Street, Dublin.
Success in the Republic of Ireland led to expansion into Northern Ireland, with Penneys opening a large store in Belfast City Centre in 1971. The company subsequently expanded outside of Ireland with a Primark store in Derby, England, in 1973. The company could not use the name Penneys in Europe outside Ireland as it was registered by J. C. Penney. The name Primark was then invented to use outside Ireland
Primark offers a diverse range of products, including baby and children's clothing, womenswear, menswear, homeware, accessories, footwear, beauty products and confectionery

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG4507 - Mothercare plc is a British retailer which specialises in products for expectant mothers and in general merchandise for children up to eight years of age. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE SmallCap Index.
Mothercare's United Kingdom subsidiary had over 150 stores in 2017, but by 2019 the number had been reduced to 79. In November 2019, the subsidiary was placed into administration, which led to closure of all the stores. Mothercare-branded products continue to be sold by Boots and the parent company continues to supply franchisees in other countries.
The company was founded by Selim Zilkha and Sir James Goldsmith in 1961. It was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1972.
In 1982, the company merged with Habitat to form Habitat Mothercare plc. In 1986, Habitat Mothercare plc merged with British Home Stores, to form Storehouse plc. In January 1996, it bought Children's World from Boots, and rebranded these stores as Mothercare World. In May 2000, the Bhs stores were sold to Philip Green, and Storehouse reverted to the Mothercare brand
In June 2007, Mothercare bought Early Learning Centre (ELC) for ?85 million. In October 2007, it launched Gurgle, a pregnancy and parenting social networking website. In November 2009, Mothercare acquired the 50% of Gurgle that it did not already own
In November 2019, the company put Mothercare UK (and Mothercare Business Services) into administration. This meant all the UK shops and the UK website closed soon after. Mothercare International still trades profitably.

The Dublin Writers Museum was opened in November 1991 at No 18, Parnell Square, Dublin, Ireland. The museum occupies an original 18th-century house, which accommodates the museum rooms, library, gallery, and administration area. The annexe behind it has a coffee shop and bookshop on the ground floor and exhibition and lecture rooms on the floors above. Dublin stuccatore Michael Stapleton decorated the upstairs gallery. The Irish Writers' Centre, next door in No 19, contains the meeting rooms and offices of the Irish Writers' Union, the Society of Irish Playwrights, the Irish Children's Book Trust and the Irish Translators' & Interpreters' Association. The basement beneath both houses is occupied by the Chapter One restaurant.
The Museum was established to promote interest, through its collection, displays and activities, in Irish literature as a whole and in the lives and works of individual Irish writers. Through its association with the Irish Writers' Centre it provides a link with living writers and the international literary scene. On a national level it acts as a centre, simultaneously pulling together the strands of Irish literature and complementing the smaller, more detailed museums devoted to individuals like James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats and Patrick Pearse. It functions as a place where people can come from Dublin, Ireland and abroad to experience the phenomenon of Irish writing both as history and as actuality.
The writers featured in the Museum are those who have made an important contribution to Irish or international literature or, on a local level, to the literature of Dublin. It is a view of Irish literature from a Dublin perspective.
On display in the museum are literary ephemera and memorabilia, including a detailed replica of The Book of Kells, Samuel Beckett's phone, a letter from 'tenement aristocrat' Brendan Behan to his brother.

The museum occupies an original 18th-century house, which accommodates the museum rooms, library, gallery, and administration area. The annexe behind it has a coffee shop and bookshop on the ground floor and exhibition and lecture rooms on the floors above. Dublin stuccatore Michael Stapleton decorated the upstairs gallery. The Irish Writers' Centre, next door in No 19, contains the meeting rooms and offices of the Irish Writers' Union, the Society of Irish Playwrights, the Irish Children's Book Trust and the Irish Translators' & Interpreters' Association. The basement beneath both houses is occupied by the Chapter One restaurant.
The Museum was established to promote interest, through its collection, displays and activities, in Irish literature as a whole and in the lives and works of individual Irish writers. Through its association with the Irish Writers' Centre it provides a link with living writers and the international literary scene. On a national level it acts as a centre, simultaneously pulling together the strands of Irish literature and complementing the smaller, more detailed museums devoted to individuals like James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats and Patrick Pearse. It functions as a place where people can come from Dublin, Ireland and abroad to experience the phenomenon of Irish writing both as history and as actuality.
The writers featured in the Museum are those who have made an important contribution to Irish or international literature or, on a local level, to the literature of Dublin. It is a view of Irish literature from a Dublin perspective.
On display in the museum are literary ephemera and memorabilia, including a detailed replica of The Book of Kells, Samuel Beckett's phone, a letter from 'tenement aristocrat' Brendan Behan to his brother.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JCC - Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street (Irish: Sl?inte Leana?? ??ireann ag Sr?id an Teampaill) is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin
The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital.
In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake.
A new nurses' home and a new x-ray department was officially opened by Minister of Lands, Se?n Flanagan, in the presence of the President of Ireland, ??amon de Valera, in 1972.
In line with other teaching hospitals, the facility changed its name from the Children's Hospital, Temple Street to the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street in the late 1990s and changed its name again to the Temple Street Children's University Hospital in 2012
The hospital changed its name from Temple Street Children's University Hospital to Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019

Daresbury was the birthplace of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll, in All Saints' Vicarage. Daresbury has a Lewis Carroll Visitor Centre and the parish church, All Saints, a Lewis Carroll window, including an image of the Cheshire Cat.Lewis Carroll as born 27 January 1832 ? 14 January 1898.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel by English author Lewis Carroll (the pseudonym of Charles Dodgson). It tells of a young girl named Alice, who falls through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children.
The Daniell Chapel contains one of the best-known features of All Saints', the Lewis Carroll Memorial Window. To mark the centenary of his birth, Carroll enthusiasts from all over the world subscribed to a memorial fund, which resulted in a gift to All Saints' of this striking and unusual stained glass window, dedicated in 1935.
The window was designed by the stained glass artist Geoffrey Webb and depicts a Nativity scene, at which both Carroll and Alice are present. Below the Nativity scene are 5 panels illustrated with characters and scenes from Alice in Wonderland including the White Rabbit, the Lizard, the Dodo, the Caterpillar, Fish-Footman, Mad Hatter, Dormouse, March Hare, Duchess, Gryphon, Mock Turtle, Knave and Queen of Hearts. The famous Cheshire Cat can be found in the centre of the fifth panel. The 3 centre panels contain verses from the Lewis Carroll's poem ?Christmas Greetings (From a Fairy to a Child)'.
Geoffrey Webb's mark was a spider's web that he would incorporate into the design of his windows. The web can be found in the fifth section of the Window, just above the Queen of Hearts and includes the date ?1935'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTAF5 - Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, (27 January 1832 ? 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer of world-famous children's fiction, notably Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass. He was noted for his facility at word play, logic and fantasy. The poems Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark are classified in the genre of literary nonsense. He was also a mathematician, photographer and Anglican deacon.
Carroll came from a family of High Church Anglicans, and developed a long relationship with Christ Church, Oxford, where he lived for most of his life as a scholar and teacher. It was the Dean of Christ Church, Henry Liddell, whose daughter Alice is widely identified as the original for Alice in Wonderland, though Carroll always denied this.
Several aspects of Carroll's life appear to confirm suspicions that he was a pedophile, though scholars have also made a credible case in his defence. In the absence of hard evidence, the issue of Carroll's hidden private life has provoked a lively debate, especially in recent times.
Dodgson was born in the small parsonage at Daresbury in Cheshire near the towns of Warrington and Runcorn, the eldest boy but already the third child of the four-and-a-half-year-old marriage. Eight more children followed. When Charles was 11, his father was given the living of Croft-on-Tees in North Yorkshire, and the whole family moved to the spacious rectory. This remained their home for the next 25 years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1G1 - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.
In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H550GA - Cable theft costs millions of pounds each year. The total cost to the economy, taking into account the impact of freight delays to power stations, supermarkets etc and on passengers who miss appointments or have their day ruined, is even higher.
The theft of metal is a big problem for the railway as thieves target signalling cables, overhead power lines and even metal fences to sell for scrap.
Britain's rail network is designed to fail safe, which means that when a cable is cut trains are brought to a standstill. This protects passengers but can lead to lengthy, frustrating delays while the problem is found and fixed safely.
A large proportion of funding comes from the UK Government, so these thefts are, ultimately, costing taxpayers money.

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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DC8D - Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. They are carbohydrates, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are various types of sugar derived from different sources.
Simple sugars are called monosaccharides and include glucose (also known as dextrose), fructose and galactose. The table or granulated sugar most customarily used as food is sucrose, a disaccharide. (In the body, sucrose hydrolyses into fructose and glucose.) Other disaccharides include maltose and lactose. Longer chains of sugars are called oligosaccharides.
Chemically-different substances may also have a sweet taste, but are not classified as sugars. Some are used as lower-calorie food substitutes for sugar described as artificial sweeteners.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EDR5M4 - Postage stamps and postal history of Australia
The six self-governing Australian colonies that formed the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901 operated their own postal service and issued their own stamps ? see articles on the systems on New South Wales (first stamps issued 1850), Victoria (1850), Tasmania (1853), Western Australia (1854), South Australia (1855) and Queensland (1860). Under section 51(v) of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1900, postal, telegraphic, telephonic, and other like services became a Commonwealth responsibility.
The Commonwealth's Postmaster-General's Department became effective on 1 March 1901 (this agency would be disaggregated on 1 July 1975 in part into the Australian Postal Commission trading as Australia Post). All then-current colony stamps which continued on sale became de facto Commonwealth stamps. Some of these stamps continued to be used for some time following the introduction in 1913 of the Commonwealth's uniform postage stamp series. These stamps continued to be valid for postage until 14 February 1966 when the introduction of decimal currency made all stamps bearing the earlier currency invalid for use.
There have been many special issues. The first Christmas stamp appeared on 6 November 1957. In recent years, designs for the Christmas issue have alternated each year between the religious and the secular. From 1993, in October of every year, Australia Post has commemorated Stamp Collecting month with special issues, typically featuring topics that are of interest to children such as pets, native fauna and space. Commencing with the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, during the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, stamps featuring Australians who have won an Olympic gold medal are issued on the next postal business day after the achievement.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED8P05 - An Advent calendar is a special calendar used to count or celebrate the days in anticipation of Christmas. Since the date of the first Sunday of Advent varies, falling between November 27 and December 3 inclusive, the Advent calendar usually begins on December 1, although many include the previous few days that are part of the season. The Advent calendar was first used by German Lutherans in the 19th and 20th centuries but is now ubiquitous among adherents of many Christian denominations.
Many Advent calendars take the form of a large rectangular card with windows, of which there are usually 24: one for each day of December leading up to Christmas Eve. Often, these windows have a Bible verse and prayer printed on them, which Christian families incorporate as part of their daily Advent devotions.
Consecutive doors are opened every day leading up to Christmas. The calendar windows open to reveal an image, poem, a portion of a story (such as the story of the Nativity of Jesus) or a small gift, such as a toy or a chocolate item. Advent calendars range in theme, from sports to technology, often carrying Scripture verses

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNTK - This image shows traditional sweet shop weighing scales positioned in front of shelves packed with hundreds of old-style British sweet jars, creating a vivid display of classic confectionery retail. The glass jars, typically used for penny sweets and loose confectionery, evoke memories of independent sweet shops that were once common on British high streets.
The scene reflects a pre-digital retail experience, where sweets were weighed by hand using mechanical or analogue scales, rather than pre-packaged for self-service. Such displays are strongly associated with childhood nostalgia, heritage shopping, and the enduring appeal of traditional British confectionery.
The image is well suited for editorial and commercial use illustrating nostalgia, retail heritage, food culture, British high street history, and consumer traditions, as well as themes around craft retail, independent shops, and retro design

Forty-one is the 13th smallest prime number. The next is forty-three, with which it comprises a twin prime. It is also the sum of the first six prime numbers (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13), and the sum of three primes (11 + 13 + 17).
41 is the smallest integer whose reciprocal has a 5-digit repetend. That is a consequence of the fact that 41 is a factor of 99999.
41 is the atomic number of the element niobium. Its a number frequently referred to in Arthur C. Clarke's series of books known as the Rama Cycle. Also, 2012 Documentary on the life of the 41st President of the United States George H. W. Bush.
In the film The Matrix, Morpheus is aggressively questioned in the 41st floor of the government building, in reference to the murder of Amadou Diallo.
This 41 was fashioned with the help of my 10 year old helper, Matthew in Mine Craft, a tablet based computer game.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D96MWT - Description of the famous Thorn tree at Appleton Thorn village, South Warrington, England for the annual June Bawming the Thorn
Appleton Thorn is a village in the borough of Warrington in Cheshire, England.
Each June, the village hosts the ceremony of Bawming the Thorn. The current form of the ceremony dates from the Nineteenth century, when it was part of the village's walking day. It involved children from Appleton Thorn Primary School walking through the village and holding sports and games at the school. This now takes place at the Village Hall. The ceremony stopped in the 1930s, but was later revived by the then headmaster, Mr. Bob Jones in the early 1970s. Bawming the Thorn occurs on the Saturday nearest to Midsummer's Day. Local schoolchildren dance around the tree.
Bawming means decorating - during the ceremony the thorn tree is decorated with ribbons and garlands. According to legend, the hawthorn at Appleton Thorn grew from a cutting of the Holy Thorn at Glastonbury, which was itself said to have sprung from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea, the man who arranged for Jesus's burial after the Crucifixion.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8DYKF - The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II was a multinational celebration throughout 2012 marking the 60th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II to the thrones of seven countries upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952.
She is today queen regnant of 16 sovereign states, 12 of which were British colonies or Dominions at the start of her reign. Queen Victoria, Elizabeth's great-great-grandmother, is the only other monarch in the histories of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a few other Commonwealth realms to have celebrated a Diamond Jubilee, which she did in 1897.
Many parks and spaces were renamed to celebrate this event, across the UK and the Commonwealth.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BPCNPH - St Mary's Church is in Church End in the village of Hale, Halton, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It is an active Anglican church in the deanery of Widnes, the archdeaconry of Warrington and the diocese of Liverpool.
History
The tower dates from the 14th century and the rest of the church from 1758?59, replacing an earlier church on the site. Restorations were carried out in 1874, when a northwest vestry was added, and 1903. In October 1977, the church was the victim of an arson attack, leaving only the walls and the tower still standing. As a result of the fire there is nothing remaining of the restorations other than the vestry walls. Following the fire, the foundations of a narrower, timber-framed church were discovered. The roof and interior of the church were replaced by the architects Buxeby and Evans in 1979?80.
St Mary's is built in red sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. Its plan is a rectangle in five bays with a west tower, a northwest vestry, a northeast gabled projecting chapel, and a south porch. The tower is square with corner buttresses and a crenellated parapet. It has a west door with a window above it. At the bell stage are two-light louvred belfry windows on all sides. The windows on each side of the body of the church are round-headed. The east window is Venetian in style, glazed in large squares, with a cherub carved in the keystone.
The roof, dating from 1979?80, is in varnished chestnut. It is panelled in five compartments, and heavily
moulded. The west organ gallery, standing on Tuscan columns, is a replica of that destroyed in the fire. The furniture has been acquired from a variety of sources. The font, which consists of a bowl carved with cherubs, dates from the 18th century and spent a century in a garden. The oak pulpit dating from the 17th century stands on Tuscan columns
it came from York Minster. The pews came from the demolished churc

The biggest, longest, greatest, scary-ist and most bizarre. Kids love this stuff. Thankfully our central library does have this stuff in spades. Stuffed with facts these feed the young mind.
Many of these books are not the type of thing you might buy, but are good to borrow for a few weeks, then move on to the next lot.
This is where my 6 year old lad learn't the difference between a Trent and a Mersey lifeboat &
what 'Gardyloo' meant.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8FBAK - Chemistry sets were educational toys allowing the user (typically a bored teenager) to perform simple chemistry experiments.
In the United Kingdom, Thomas Salter Science produced a series of seven chemistry sets in the 1970s. mainstays in these sets were vials of chemicals, exotic labels, test tubes and cork stoppers, an instruction manual, litmus paper, safety goggles and a burner of some description.
Amateur chemistry or home chemistry is the pursuit of chemistry as a private hobby. It should not be confused with clandestine chemistry, which involves the illicit production of controlled drugs.
Throughout much of the 20th century, amateur chemistry was an unexceptional hobby, with high-quality chemistry sets readily available, and laboratory suppliers freely selling to hobbyists. For example, Linus Pauling had no difficulty in procuring potassium cyanide at the age of eleven. However, due to increasing concerns about terrorism, drugs and safety, suppliers became increasingly reluctant to sell to amateurs, and chemistry sets were steadily toned down.

Birkenhead had the first street tramway in Europe. Opened on 29 August 1860 the first line ran from Woodside (adjoining the terminal of the Mersey Ferry) to Birkenhead Park. This early system was horse-drawn and was the brainchild of flamboyant American, George Francis Train. A preserved tram was on display in the Woodside ferry terminal booking hall.
The system was later electrified and operated from 1901 as Birkenhead Corporation Tramways. Two replica trams, imported from Hong Kong, have been brought into service as part of a heritage tramway between Woodside and Wirral Transport Museum, and Birkenhead Corporation Tramways Car No.20 is preserved on this line and shown here.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMWKY - Charles MacLeod Stornoway butcher shop, Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, Scotland UK. Here follows a bit of history:
In the early 1900s, Murdo MacLeod left the village of Keose on the Isle of Lewis bound for South America to work on a Patagonian sheep farm. An expert judge and buyer of livestock, Murdo's employer, Jose Menendez, held him in high esteem. So much so, that on his return to the Isle of Lewis, Murdo was asked to include Menendez in the name of his first-born child. On setting up home in Ropework Cottage, Stornoway, Murdo and wife, Christina thus became parents to Charles Menendez MacLeod.
The tradition continues today.

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

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02EN - Ask for Angela is the name of a campaign in England that started in 2016 that is used by bars and other venues to keep people safe from sexual assault by using a codeword to identify when they are in danger or are in an uncomfortable situation. When an establishment uses this program, a person who believes themselves to be in danger can ask for Angela, a fictitious member of the staff. The staff will then help the person get home discreetly and safely by either escorting them to a different room, calling them a taxi and escorting them to it, or by asking the other party member to leave the establishment.
Posters are placed on the stall doors inside toilets of the establishments where the campaign is being implemented. The poster introduces Angela and asks several questions for one to reflect on the current position they are in. The Lincolnshire Rape Crisis hotline number is also listed on the bottom of the poster. The program is not gender specific and aims to help all people, so posters are placed in all toilets in the establishment. Posters are placed on the stall doors inside toilets of the establishments where the campaign is being implemented. Not all bars and restaurants in Lincolnshire and around the world participate in the campaign, so staff cannot be expected to know the protocol when someone asks for Angela at these places. Staff at the bars and pubs that do participate have been trained and will know what to do.
The program started in Lincolnshire, England, by Hayley Child, the Substance Misuse Strategy Coordinator for Lincolnshire County Council. Child started the campaign as a part of a much larger campaign, #NoMore, to decrease sexual violence and abuse

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1P047 - Gamesley is a residential area within the Borough of High Peak in Derbyshire, England, west of Glossop and close to the River Etherow which forms the boundary with Tameside in Greater Manchester. Gamesley is a ward of the High Peak Borough Council. It had a population of 2,531 at the 2011 Census
The original village of Gamesley consisted of rows of cottages inhabited by workers at the local textile mills, and it remained largely undeveloped until the 1960s, when it underwent considerable change. It was chosen as the location of an overspill estate, built by Manchester City Council. This was in order to rehouse people from decaying inner city areas of Manchester. These housing areas were also built in other towns surrounding Manchester, such as nearby Hattersley on the outskirts of Hyde.
The Gamesley estate was built in 2 half's. The first houses were built by contractors Finnegans which were constructed with
flat felted roofs, pebble dash cladding ground floors and tile cladded first floors. Finnegans houses were equipped with warm air central heating which used gas as an energy source. The Finnegan side of the estate was known locally as the ?gas side'. In the late 1980s the local authority renovated the Finnegan system built houses, the works included re-enveloping the external building with traditional bricks and mortar. The works also added apex roofing complete with roofing tiles.
The second half of the Gamesley estate was built a couple of years later by George Wimpey using the Wimpey no-fines house building method. The houses were constructed with full pebble dash finish and tiled apex roofing. The houses built by George Wimpey had a solid concrete ground floor which had electrical underfloor heating installed, the first floors of these houses were built with no heating. Due to electricity being the main energy source for heating, the George Wimpey side of Gamesley became known locally as the ?electric side'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JCF - Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street (Irish: Sl?inte Leana?? ??ireann ag Sr?id an Teampaill) is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin
The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital.
In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake.
A new nurses' home and a new x-ray department was officially opened by Minister of Lands, Se?n Flanagan, in the presence of the President of Ireland, ??amon de Valera, in 1972.
In line with other teaching hospitals, the facility changed its name from the Children's Hospital, Temple Street to the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street in the late 1990s and changed its name again to the Temple Street Children's University Hospital in 2012
The hospital changed its name from Temple Street Children's University Hospital to Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED8P03 - An Advent calendar is a special calendar used to count or celebrate the days in anticipation of Christmas. Since the date of the first Sunday of Advent varies, falling between November 27 and December 3 inclusive, the Advent calendar usually begins on December 1, although many include the previous few days that are part of the season. The Advent calendar was first used by German Lutherans in the 19th and 20th centuries but is now ubiquitous among adherents of many Christian denominations.
Many Advent calendars take the form of a large rectangular card with windows, of which there are usually 24: one for each day of December leading up to Christmas Eve. Often, these windows have a Bible verse and prayer printed on them, which Christian families incorporate as part of their daily Advent devotions.
Consecutive doors are opened every day leading up to Christmas. The calendar windows open to reveal an image, poem, a portion of a story (such as the story of the Nativity of Jesus) or a small gift, such as a toy or a chocolate item. Advent calendars range in theme, from sports to technology, often carrying Scripture verses

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RTJRXR - HM Government Education secretary has been recorded on camera suggesting others have been sat on their a***s over the school Raac crisis, while saying the government should be thanked for their response.
As part of a morning round of interviews, Gillian Keegan was speaking to ITV News as it was confirmed there could potentially be hundreds more schools affected by the crisis.
In the moments after the main body of the interview had finished, and as the camera repositioned for extra shots, Keegan - still wearing her microphone - criticised others and claimed the government has gone over and above in addressing concerns relating to reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac).
Does anyone ever say, you know what, you've done a f***ing good job because everyone else has sat on their a**** and done nothing, Ms Keegan said.
She added: Any sign of that, no?
The Education Secretary was forced to apologise today, after an extraordinary foul-mouthed outburst to ITV News, Dan Hewitt reports

Its first issue was published on 30 July 1938,[1] and it became the world's longest-running comic issued weekly in 2018, publishing its 4000th issue in August 2019.[2] Popular and well-known comic strips and characters include Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, The Bash Street Kids, Roger the Dodger, Billy Whizz, Lord Snooty and His Pals, Ivy the Terrible, General Jumbo, Jonah, and Biffo the Bear.
The Beano was planned as a pioneering children's magazine that contained mostly comic strips, in the style of American newspaper gag-a-days, as opposed to the more text story based Story papers that were immensely popular before the Second World War. In the present, its legacy is its misbehaving characters, escapist tales and anarchic humour with an audience of all ages. Beano is a multimedia franchise with spin-off books and Christmas annuals, a website, theme park rides, games, cartoon adaptations, and a production company.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H542A5 - Cable theft costs millions of pounds each year. The total cost to the economy, taking into account the impact of freight delays to power stations, supermarkets etc and on passengers who miss appointments or have their day ruined, is even higher.
The theft of metal is a big problem for the railway as thieves target signalling cables, overhead power lines and even metal fences to sell for scrap.
Britain's rail network is designed to fail safe, which means that when a cable is cut trains are brought to a standstill. This protects passengers but can lead to lengthy, frustrating delays while the problem is found and fixed safely.
A large proportion of funding comes from the UK Government, so these thefts are, ultimately, costing taxpayers money.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D96MWA - Appleton Thorn is a village in the borough of Warrington in Cheshire, England.
Each June, the village hosts the ceremony of Bawming the Thorn. The current form of the ceremony dates from the Nineteenth century, when it was part of the village's walking day. It involved children from Appleton Thorn Primary School walking through the village and holding sports and games at the school. This now takes place at the Village Hall. The ceremony stopped in the 1930s, but was later revived by the then headmaster, Mr. Bob Jones in the early 1970s. Bawming the Thorn occurs on the Saturday nearest to Midsummer's Day. Local schoolchildren dance around the tree.
Bawming means decorating - during the ceremony the thorn tree is decorated with ribbons and garlands. According to legend, the hawthorn at Appleton Thorn grew from a cutting of the Holy Thorn at Glastonbury, which was itself said to have sprung from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea, the man who arranged for Jesus's burial after the Crucifixion.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDPM11 - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.
In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common
