Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ENF1MM - A striking interior view of the Red Box at Verdant Works Museum in Dundee, Scotland, inside a former Victorian jute mill. The vivid red, box-shaped exhibition and event space stands beneath a long glazed roof, its bold contemporary form contrasting with exposed stone walls, timber structures and iron pipework. Sunlight enters through the glass canopy and throws sharp areas of light and shade across the floor and red frontage, while museum objects, artworks and interpretation displays line the passage.
The Red Box is used as a flexible cultural space within Verdant Works, supporting exhibitions, creative projects, workshops and performances. Its modern design demonstrates how historic industrial buildings can be adapted for present-day arts and learning while retaining original character. Dundee's story of design, textiles, manufacturing and social change is visible in both the architecture and museum displays.
Verdant Works began as a flax mill built for merchant and spinner David Lindsay in 1833. It later became part of Dundee's vast jute industry, which transformed the city into an international centre for textile production. By 1864 the works operated thousands of spindles and dozens of power looms, employing hundreds of people. Dundee Heritage Trust acquired the derelict complex in 1991, restored it with sympathetic materials and opened it to the public in 1996 as Scotland's jute museum. The restored High Mill followed in 2015.
This image is suitable for editorial use concerning Dundee tourism, adaptive reuse, museum design, industrial archaeology, cultural regeneration, textile history, arts venues, community engagement, Victorian factories, Scottish heritage and the creative transformation of redundant manufacturing buildings. The Red Box provides a memorable focal point within a rare surviving courtyard mill and connects Dundee's industrial past with its modern cultural identity

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKNXPY - This photograph shows Dixie Dean memorial tiles at Everton FC's new Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in Liverpool, a detail linking the club's modern Mersey waterfront home with one of the most famous names in English stock-photo/gotonysmith-Football.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>football history. William Ralph Dixie Dean remains central to Everton identity because of his astonishing 1927-28 league season, when he scored 60 goals in 39 games, a top-flight record that still carries huge cultural weight for football writers, supporters, historians and image buyers. The tiles work as a compact visual symbol of memory, migration and continuity: Everton's men's team has moved from the tight streets and long traditions of Goodison Park to a large new dockside stadium, yet fan culture still depends on names, rituals, inscriptions and local stories being carried forward. The image may suit editorial use around Everton, Premier League football, Liverpool sport, club heritage, supporter commemoration, naming rights, stadium regeneration, dockland redevelopment, football tourism and the emotional geography of leaving an old ground for a new one. It also has value for wider features on how major clubs use public realm, fan plazas, engraved paving and memorial details to preserve identity in highly commercial modern venues. Bramley-Moore Dock sits in the Vauxhall and north docks area beside the River Mersey, a former working dock landscape now tied to debates about regeneration, heritage, transport, matchday crowds and the changing Liverpool waterfront. The spelling Hill Dickinson is important because the stadium name comes from the Liverpool-founded law firm's naming rights deal, while Bramley-Moore Dock remains the place-name many supporters still use. For stock photography, the appeal is in the readable Everton reference, the famous Dixie Dean name, the new stadium setting and the layered story of football memory, local pride, commercial branding, urban change and supporters making a new home feel Evertonian.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJ120Y - Canal Street in Manchester's Gay Village, photographed on a warm spring day with rainbow bunting and Pride flags strung above the street while people sit outside bars, cafés and venues drinking, chatting and enjoying the weather. The image shows outdoor tables, planters, trees in leaf, red brick buildings, black pub frontages, hanging baskets, pedestrians and a relaxed city-centre leisure atmosphere. Canal Street is the best-known street in Manchester's LGBTQ+ quarter and forms the heart of the Gay Village, a nightlife, hospitality and cultural area beside the Rochdale Canal, close to Sackville Gardens and Manchester city centre. The photograph is useful for editorial coverage of LGBTQ+ visibility, Pride, inclusive nightlife, Manchester tourism, outdoor drinking, warm-weather leisure, hospitality, bars, cafés, city breaks, urban public space, equality, community identity and the role of the Gay Village as both a social destination and a symbolic place of belonging. The rainbow flags and bunting provide strong visual shorthand for LGBTQ+ culture, Pride events and the year-round identity of the area, while the busy pavement seating shows Canal Street working as an everyday leisure street rather than only as a festival setting. The scene also has value for features on Manchester's night-time economy, visitor economy, hospitality recovery, outdoor seating, city centre pedestrian life, tourism marketing, Pride celebrations, public realm, street decoration and the long association between Canal Street, queer community, bars, clubs and social freedom. Visible details include packed outdoor seating areas, glasses on tables, striped rainbow bunting, leafy trees, brick facades, black painted venue fronts, hanging plants and pedestrians on the narrow street. The bright daylight, green trees and casual clothing suggest a warm spring day, giving the picture a cheerful documentary tone suitable for travel, lifestyle, culture, equality and urban leisure stories.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJD0GD - Busy warm-weather street scene on Canal Street in Manchester's Gay Village, with Pride bunting and rainbow flags strung thickly above the road while crowds move between outdoor bar terraces. In the foreground, people walk past a pavement poster advertising an evening drag or cabaret act, adding a clear entertainment cue to the image. Bar signs, seated drinkers, trees, brick frontages and the long line of hanging flags create a layered view of the street as both a tourist destination and a working LGBTQ+ leisure quarter. The bright daylight, green leaves, summer clothing, bare legs and full outdoor tables suggest late spring or summer conditions, with the sky mostly hidden by tree cover and decorations.
The photograph captures Canal Street's daytime character, not just its better-known night-time economy. Couples, friends, visitors and regulars share the same public space, while the rainbow decorations turn the street into a visible expression of Pride, queer culture and inclusive city life. The poster board is important because it points to the performance side of the Village: drag, cabaret, music, comedy, club nights and hosted events that help make LGBTQ+ venues more than places to drink. They act as stages, meeting points, community spaces and visitor attractions, especially around Pride season and summer weekends.
This image has strong editorial and commercial stock use for features on Manchester Gay Village, Canal Street bars, LGBTQ+ tourism, Pride culture, safe social spaces, queer visibility, outdoor hospitality and the visitor economy. It can also illustrate how nightlife districts operate in daylight and how inclusive urban places are signalled through flags and public decoration. The busy pavement, poster, overhead bunting and crowded terraces together show Canal Street as a compact and recognisable queer quarter where public life, tourism, hospitality and cultural expression meet beside the Rochdale Canal.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJD09F - The four four Kraftwerk band electronic musicians behind synthesiser consoles in glowing cyan outline against a monochrome Manchester cityscape. The background centres on Manchester Cathedral, with surrounding buildings and skyline behind it, while a large flying saucer hovers above the left side of the scene. The result is a retro-futurist concert image that links Manchester architecture with science-fiction imagery and the machine-age visual language long associated with Kraftwerk. The user's title places the concept around the group's 22 May 2026 performance at the O2 Apollo Manchester in Ardwick, turning the picture into a stylised tribute rather than a literal record.
The design works because it fuses several recognisable ideas at once. Manchester Cathedral anchors the composition in a real landmark, with its medieval tower and Gothic form set against modern offices, apartments and arenas in the background. The cyan figures and keyboard stands echo electronic stage performance, minimalism, robotics and precision, while the UFO adds a playful layer of space-age fantasy that suits Kraftwerk's reputation for futurism, technology and spectacle. The black-and-white aerial view behind the figures gives the piece a documentary base, but the neon outlines and saucer push it firmly into photomontage and conceptual illustration.
This gives the image strong editorial and commercial stock value for features on Kraftwerk, electronic music, synth-pop, digital art, concert promotion, Manchester live venues, city identity, creative tourism and music-inspired graphic design. It can illustrate articles on the O2 Apollo, Manchester Cathedral, retro-modern aesthetics, multimedia performance and the continuing influence of German electronic pioneers on visual culture. The artwork feels both local and imagined: a recognisable Manchester skyline reworked into an otherworldly performance scene where architecture, machines and pop mythology meet.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKDAY3 - Red poster reading God Is A Manc , a bold piece of Manchester-themed graphic design using tiled, mosaic-like lettering and a radiating brick pattern to create a strong sense of local pride, humour and urban identity. The phrase plays on Mancunian confidence and the city's long tradition of self-belief, music culture, football rivalry, working-class wit, independent politics and civic swagger. The design is dominated by red, white and black tones, with the words stacked in heavy block capitals and surrounded by hundreds of small rectangular shapes that resemble ceramic tiles, bricks, pixels or a street-art mosaic. The composition makes the poster useful for editorial features about Manchester culture, northern identity, regional pride, city branding, poster art, typography, graphic design, humour, slogans, urban art, wall decoration, popular culture and the commercial use of place-based phrases. It can also illustrate the way Manchester is marketed as a confident creative city, with strong links to music, fashion, club culture, sport, architecture, student life, independent retail and tourism. The red colourway may also carry associations with Manchester United and broader Manchester sporting identity, although the wording itself is more general Mancunian civic humour than a formal club reference. The visible English text is simple and legible, making the image suitable for stories about slogans, local dialect, Manc language, northern England, souvenir prints, framed wall art, design shops, creative industries, poster collecting and cultural tourism. The close crop removes wider location context and focuses attention entirely on the printed artwork, its handmade-tile visual style and its punchy message. The photograph appears to show an indoor display or poster print rather than an outdoor mural, with flat lighting and no visible people, allowing the phrase, pattern and red graphic treatment to dominate the frame.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWKXW - Fan graffiti on construction hoardings outside Wrexham AFC's STōK Cae Ras stadium on Mold Road, Wrexham, photographed during work on the new Kop Stand redevelopment. The image shows a vivid street-art style mural with a central black-and-white supporter portrait, Welsh colours, red dragons, yellow lettering, the motto Ich Dien and the Welsh club wording CPD Wrecsam , set against cranes, temporary fencing, a half-built stand core and the wider building site. It captures the meeting point between football fandom, local identity, Welsh language culture, construction, regeneration and the extraordinary modern story of Wrexham AFC. The Kop Stand project is part of the redevelopment of the historic Racecourse Ground, now known as STōK Cae Ras, and is intended to restore the stadium's four-sided form, improve matchday operations, accessibility, concourses, media facilities and long-term capacity. McLaren Construction was appointed under a pre-construction services agreement for the new Kop Stand redevelopment, with the project linked to wider ambitions for the club, the city and the Wrexham Gateway Partnership. The photograph is commercially useful for editorial themes around stadium expansion, football infrastructure, construction hoardings, sports-led regeneration, supporter culture, Welsh football, promotion, tourism, documentary street art and community pride. The graffiti gives the scene far more character than a standard building site image, showing how supporters have visually claimed the redevelopment as part of Wrexham's football identity rather than simply a commercial construction project. The road, fencing, cranes, scaffolding, grey cloud and unfinished concrete structure place the mural firmly in a working urban setting, while the club colours and fan art connect it to the wider Welcome to Wrexham story, the club's international profile and the transformation of a historic football ground into a larger modern stadium.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWM71 - Poster for Return to Wrex-Slam , a family friendly Basix Pro Wrestling event advertised in Wrexham, Wales. The colourful promotional flyer shows wrestlers posing around bold black, green and white wrestling-style graphics, with the Basix Pro Wrestling 20th anniversary logo, QR code ticketing, event branding and venue details for Hightown Community Resource stock-photo/gotonysmith-Centre.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>Centre on Fusilier Way, Wrexham. The poster promotes a Saturday 13 June 2026 show with doors at 4pm and first bell at 4.30pm, positioning the event as live sports entertainment for adults, children and families. TicketSource lists BPW: Return to Wrex-Slam! at Hightown Community Resource Centre, Wrexham, LL13 7YF, while Basix Pro Wrestling's own social promotion gives the same event name, date, venue and show timing. The photograph is useful for editorial coverage of Welsh independent wrestling, grassroots sports entertainment, family events, local leisure, community centre performances, Wrexham city centre advertising, fan culture and the continuing appeal of live wrestling outside the major televised promotions. Reflections in the window glass, creases in the poster and the shop-window setting give the image a real documentary street feel rather than a clean publicity graphic. It can illustrate stories about local event promotion, QR code ticketing, small entertainment businesses, community venues, affordable weekend activities, children's entertainment, Welsh pop culture and independent wrestling in towns and cities across the UK. The poster's strong typography, dramatic wrestler portraits, family friendly wording and Wrex-Slam title make it visually clear and commercially useful for stock searches connected with pro wrestling, live shows, sports posters, Wrexham events and North Wales community entertainment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGG76R - Street photograph of a Leeds Tattoo Expo poster displayed on an advertising panel on The Headrow in Leeds city stock-photo/gotonysmith-Centre.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>centre, West Yorkshire. The poster uses bold vintage tattoo flash styling, red lettering, decorative scrollwork, a female pin-up style portrait, peacock fan imagery and circus or fairground-inspired graphic design to promote tickets for the tattoo convention. It is a strong editorial image for tattoo culture, body art, urban advertising, alternative fashion, creative events, youth culture and the wider growth of tattooing as a mainstream leisure and lifestyle industry. The poster's wording includes Leeds Tattoo Expo, First Direct Arena and tickets on sale now, tying the street promotion to the city's major indoor venue and live events economy. The official Leeds Tattoo Expo information page says the eleventh annual event is being held at First Direct Arena, with over 200 tattoo artists, boutique traders, entertainment and competitions, giving the image relevance for tattoo artists, collectors, independent makers and specialist event marketing. The photograph is also useful for stories about Leeds city centre, The Headrow, public realm advertising, poster art, graphic design, subcultures moving into mainstream venues, city break entertainment and the commercial promotion of weekend events. The weather appears dull or overcast, with soft daylight on the pavement and building façade, suggesting a typical British urban day without strong shadows. The image captures the contrast between ornate tattoo-inspired illustration and the formal stone architecture of central Leeds, helping it work as a stock image for alternative culture within a traditional civic cityscape. It can support features on tattoos, body modification, personal identity, event ticketing, local tourism, creative industries, independent traders, street-level marketing and the way specialist cultural scenes are promoted in busy northern city centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGG899 - Photograph showing the black painted entrance door and decorative glass sign of Whitelock's First City Luncheon Bar in Turk's Head Yard, just off Briggate in Leeds city centre, West Yorkshire. The visible lettering reads Whitelock's First City Luncheon Bar , with good food and always in splendid condition also picked out on the historic window, giving the image strong editorial value for Leeds pubs, heritage hospitality, real ale, traditional lunch rooms and Victorian bar culture. Whitelock's is widely promoted as the oldest public house in Leeds, with the site first opened in 1715 as the Turk's Head, a history still reflected in the name of the narrow yard where the pub sits. The building is Grade II* listed and Historic England records it as a public house with late seventeenth or early eighteenth century origins, later altered and remodelled, with an important late nineteenth century interior. The dark doorway, painted signwriting, reflective glass, black woodwork and whitewashed wall make this a strong close-up documentary image of a hidden Leeds landmark rather than a broad street scene. It is useful for stock searches around Leeds city centre, Briggate, Turk's Head Yard, historic pubs, CAMRA, real ale culture, traditional English bars, Yorkshire tourism, city heritage, listed buildings, food and drink, pub architecture, lettering, signwriting and hospitality history. The tight composition and subdued light suggest a covered or narrow alley setting, typical of Whitelock's tucked-away location. The image can illustrate articles about the survival of independent pubs, historic interiors, the evening economy, visitor attractions, traditional city-centre drinking culture and the continuing appeal of long-established pubs amid modern retail streets.

The visible menu and shop sign link the photograph directly with everyday high street food, takeaway culture and the rising cost of a fish supper, with cod, haddock, chips, pies, sausages, sauces and meal deals forming part of the familiar language of British fish and chip shops. The Fish Hut is listed at 27 Liverpool Road, Manchester, M3 4NW, close to Castlefield, Deansgate and the Science and Industry Museum area, making it part of the food offer around one of Manchester's busiest visitor and nightlife districts. The image has strong editorial value for stories about fish and chips, casual dining, independent takeaways, food inflation, energy bills, hospitality pressures, staff costs, ingredient prices, city centre rents and the squeeze on food businesses and customers. Fish and chips remain one of Britain's most recognisable takeaway meals, but the scene can also illustrate how a simple fish supper has become a sharper cost of living symbol as prices rise across food, cooking oil, white fish, potatoes, packaging and utilities. The photograph shows a clean, modernised interior, with digital screens, a black menu wall, bright counter lighting and prepared food ready for service. The visible customers and staff add human context without making any individual the sole subject. The indoor setting means there is no visible weather, although the lighting and muted window view suggest a daytime or early evening city centre visit. This commercially useful stock image suits features on Manchester eating out, British takeaway culture, fish and chip shops, hospitality economics, consumer spending, inflation, local business survival and changing urban food habits.

The image shows the theatre frontage after dusk, with the distinctive Art Deco style façade, pavement activity, bicycles, passing pedestrians and the bright canopy wording promoting The iconic 80s movie, a spectacular new musical . The central vertical poster and repeated pavement posters make the production branding clear, including the title The Karate Kid and the familiar wax on reference associated with the 1984 film. This is a commercially useful editorial image for themes around Manchester theatre, touring musicals, live entertainment, audience culture, city centre nightlife, visitor economy, leisure spending, popular culture nostalgia and screen-to-stage adaptations. The Palace Theatre is one of Manchester's major receiving houses, close to Oxford Road station and the Oxford Road Corridor, an area linked with performance venues, universities, hotels, restaurants and evening footfall. The low light, glowing signage and open foreground give a strong sense of pre-show atmosphere, night-time economy and cultural life in central Manchester. The photograph may also illustrate the appeal of classic 1980s cinema properties being revived for contemporary theatre audiences, alongside broader stories about musical theatre tours, ticketed events, city centre cultural venues and landmark theatres in UK regional arts. The visible Palace Theatre name, Karate Kid posters and bold canopy message provide clear editorial context without needing a crowd scene. The image suits articles, features and stock uses covering Manchester arts, theatre marketing, nostalgic movie brands, Oxford Street nightlife, touring stage productions, theatre-going, urban leisure, live performance, entertainment listings, family shows and cultural tourism in Greater Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ECEEH1 - The Manchester Store at Manchester Airport is shown selling city-branded souvenirs, travel essentials, soft toys, keyrings, magnets and V&A merchandise, with a prominent illuminated Manchester sign and bee logo above the retail stock-photo/gotonysmith-Display.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>display. The image is a useful editorial view of airport shopping, destination branding and the way Manchester presents itself to visitors, tourists and returning passengers. The worker bee has become one of Manchester's best-known civic symbols, linked to the city's industrial past, local identity, hard work, resilience and Mancunian pride. Its use on souvenirs, signs and merchandise has grown strongly in recent years, making the bee logo instantly recognisable as shorthand for the city. The airport setting adds commercial value for stories about travel retail, visitor spending, UK tourism, airport passenger experience, city-break souvenirs, local independent brands, regional identity and the wider Manchester visitor economy. Visible categories including soft toys, travel accessories, keyrings and magnets show the practical mix of last-minute shopping and souvenir buying common in departures areas. The photograph also works for features about how airports increasingly promote local culture rather than only selling generic duty-free products, using regional design, museum partnerships, football culture, music heritage, industrial history and civic symbols to create a stronger sense of place. Manchester Airport has highlighted its aim to showcase local and up-and-coming brands to global audiences, which fits the scene's mix of local pride and international passenger flow. The black, blue and yellow signage, packed retail racks and bee motif create a clear, modern stock image for articles on Manchester branding, northern identity, retail display, airport redevelopment, tourism marketing, travel convenience, gifts, consumer behaviour and the commercial role of place-based souvenirs. It is especially useful where a recognisable Manchester image

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EDKYR5 - A neon Love Manchester sign inside a Manchester city centre souvenir shop, using the city's familiar civic language of pride, resilience, local identity and the worker bee. The image is useful for illustrating Manchester as a modern visitor destination as well as a politically confident city region with a strong visual brand. The worker bee has long been associated with Manchester's industrial past, referencing the city's working people, mills, manufacturing heritage and collective energy, but in recent years it has also become a widely recognised symbol of unity, remembrance and Mancunian pride. In a retail setting of gifts, souvenirs and city merchandise, the sign connects local tourism with a wider story about how Manchester presents itself to visitors, residents and investors. It also has strong contemporary relevance to Andy Burnham's tenure as Greater Manchester Mayor, the growth of city region identity and the Bee Network public transport brand. The yellow and black Bee Network has made the bee symbol newly visible across buses, trams, cycle hire and travel information, linking everyday public transport reform with Manchester's long-standing civic emblem. This makes the photograph commercially useful for editorial features on Manchester tourism, city branding, devolution, mayoral leadership, bus franchising, local government, northern regeneration, retail, culture and the visitor economy. The illuminated shop sign also works as a broader visual shorthand for Love MCR, Manchester pride, independent shopping, British souvenirs, local identity and the city's confident post-industrial image. It can support stories about the Manchester city region, public transport change, the politics of place, high street retail, civic symbolism, cultural merchandise and the way a simple bee motif has travelled from industrial heritage into modern public branding, tourism and popular culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8E1HK - Front elevation of BBC Radio Merseyside studios on Hanover Street, Liverpool city centre, with Made of Liverpool' window branding and presenter posters across the glazed facade. Photographed in daylight in an urban streetscape, this image captures the local broadcasting base of the BBC's long established Merseyside radio service in public setting. The building is associated with BBC local radio, regional media, journalism, interviews, live music sessions, community storytelling and public service broadcasting for Liverpool and the wider Merseyside area. The bold Made of Liverpool' slogan gives the picture strong civic identity, reflecting local pride, Scouse culture, creativity, music heritage and the city's media presence. The prominent glass frontage, steel framing, corner architecture and street level entrance make this useful for editorial, documentary and commercial themes around broadcasting, communications, local news, radio production, media buildings, cultural identity and central Liverpool.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6EE - The exterior of V&A Dundee, Scotland's national design museum, photographed on the edge of the River Tay at 1 Riverside Esplanade, Dundee DD1 4EZ. The image shows the museum's distinctive layered concrete form alongside riverside water, with a freestanding sign promoting the Garden Futures exhibition visible in the foreground.
Designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, the V&A Dundee building is inspired by Scotland's coastal cliffs and geology, its dramatic horizontal layers projecting out over the river as a symbolic link between land and water. Since opening, the museum has become the centrepiece of Dundee's ambitious waterfront regeneration, repositioning the former industrial port city as a hub for design, culture and innovation.
The Garden Futures exhibition explores the past, present and future of gardens in the context of climate change, sustainability, food production and social wellbeing. By addressing themes such as environmental resilience, biodiversity and the relationship between people and nature, the exhibition reflects the V&A's broader role in connecting design with global challenges.
The juxtaposition of the contemporary museum architecture, the historic River Tay and exhibition signage creates a layered visual narrative linking design, environment and urban renewal. Photographed in clear daylight under blue skies, the image highlights both the sculptural quality of the building and its prominent riverside setting.
The photograph offers strong editorial value for themes including modern architecture, museum exhibitions, climate and design discourse, Scottish cultural identity and waterfront regeneration, making it suitable for travel features, architectural publications, environmental commentary and educational use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCK3C - The exterior of The Britons Protection, a well-known historic public house on Great Bridgewater Street in Manchester city centre. The pub's distinctive black-and-white façade, traditional signage and architectural detailing reflect its Victorian origins and long-standing place within Manchester's drinking and social history.
Photographed in daylight under a clear sky, suggesting fair spring or summer weather, the image captures the building in calm urban conditions, with soft natural light highlighting the decorative frontage and windows. The Britons Protection is widely regarded as one of Manchester's most traditional real-ale pubs and has long been associated with CAMRA and Britain's cask ale movement.
Surrounded by modern city-centre development and cultural venues, the pub stands as a surviving example of historic hospitality architecture in a rapidly changing urban environment. The image is well suited for editorial use illustrating British pub heritage, real-ale culture, independent hospitality, listed buildings, and Manchester's evolving cityscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6GW - A red neon sign displaying the phrase Going Out Is The New Staying In mounted in a window on Thomas Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter, photographed at 3032 Thomas Street, Manchester M4 1ER. The sign is set against a background of layered graffiti and urban textures, reinforcing the area's long-established reputation for independent culture, nightlife and creative expression.
Thomas Street is one of the central arteries of the Northern Quarter, an area closely associated with Manchester's music scene, alternative nightlife, independent bars, cafés and retail. Neon signage of this kind has become a visual motif within the district, often used by venues to convey attitude, humour and social commentary rather than straightforward advertising.
The slogan reflects a wider cultural shift in urban social habits, particularly in the period following the COVID-19 pandemic, where renewed emphasis was placed on socialising outside the home and supporting city-centre hospitality venues. Photographed in close-up, the image highlights the glow of the red neon tubing, the reflective glass surface and the surrounding street-level textures, providing strong editorial context for themes of nightlife, urban culture and contemporary social attitudes in Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8PTY0 - A bronze statue of Long Boi stands beside the lake near Derwent College at the University of York, commemorating the unusually tall campus duck who became a student mascot, local celebrity and internet favourite. Long Boi was widely described as a mallard and Indian runner duck cross, known for his extraordinary height, long neck, friendly presence and regular appearances around the university's lakes and green spaces. The sculpture was created after a crowdfunding campaign led by the students' union, with the University of York saying £5,300 was raised and that the statue was unveiled by BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James on 26 September 2024. University publicity says the life-sized bronze was hand carved in clay by award-winning wildlife sculptor Neil Mason before being cast in bronze, and that it stands near the lake at Derwent College, one of Long Boi's favourite haunts. The image is commercially useful for stories about university life, campus culture, student humour, memorial sculpture, public art, crowdfunding, social media fame, animal mascots, British eccentricity and the emotional role of wildlife in shared places. It can also illustrate the University of York's distinctive lakeside campus, where ducks, geese and other waterfowl form part of the everyday student experience. The statue's plinth, plaque, bronze finish, lawns, college buildings and live geese in the background give the photograph strong documentary value as a real memorial rather than a generic animal sculpture. Long Boi's story is useful for features on internet culture, community affection, grief, silliness, public memory and how a much-loved animal can become part of an institution's identity. As a stock image, it records a quirky but meaningful piece of contemporary campus heritage, showing how humour, affection and student folklore can be given permanent form in bronze.

The value lies in the combination of place, object, wording and context, giving editors something specific and grounded rather than generic filler imagery. Birmingham has long been a civic, industrial and cultural powerhouse of the Midlands, with major public squares, music history, transport investment and retail change providing strong themes for editorial and documentary use. The subject has strong music heritage value, connecting a visible place with fan culture, tourism, nightlife, popular memory, record-industry history and the commercial afterlife of bands, venues and local scenes. It has strong value for publishers needing authentic documentary imagery for news pages, blog articles, council reports, social media graphics, presentations, magazine features and local-history explainers. Historically and socially, this kind of image can help connect past and present: older streets, civic institutions, transport systems, shops, signs, political messages or public services are not frozen museum pieces, but part of how people understand modern life, local identity and economic change.

The simple illuminated sign is a recognisable detail of one of Manchester's best-known curry cafés, tucked away off the busier streets of the city centre. This & That describes itself as a family-run business established in 1984 and located at 3 Soap Street, M4 1EW, offering homemade curries prepared with fresh whole spices. The café is strongly associated with Manchester's rice and three stock-photo/gotonysmith-Tradition.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>tradition, a quick, affordable plate of rice served with three curries, historically linked to workers, students, shoppers and office staff looking for filling Indian and Pakistani-style food in the Northern Quarter. The image is commercially useful for stories about Manchester food culture, cheap eats, independent restaurants, hidden gems, curry cafés, halal food, vegetarian options, lunchtime trade, local hospitality and the survival of long-running city-centre eateries. The sign also has value for features on the changing Northern Quarter, where former warehouses, small food businesses, bars, music venues and creative industries have helped shape a distinctive urban identity. The close-up composition, brick buildings, external metal staircase and angled sign give the photograph a gritty back-street feel that suits coverage of authentic local food rather than polished chain restaurant branding. It can also illustrate wider themes around migrant food culture, family-run businesses, affordable dining, Manchester tourism, street-level signage, restaurant heritage and how modest cafés can become part of a city's social memory. As a documentary stock image, it records a small but culturally important Manchester food landmark, where curry, lunch culture, value, tradition and Northern Quarter character meet on Soap Street.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EBGJG7 - The Little Mermaid statue, known in Danish as Den Lille Havfrue, sits on a waterside rock at Langelinie in Copenhagen harbour, Denmark. This famous bronze sculpture by Edvard Eriksen was unveiled in 1913 and was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale about a mermaid who longs for human life. The statue was commissioned by Carl Jacobsen, the Carlsberg brewer and art patron, after he saw a ballet based on the story at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen. The image shows the small green-patinated figure seated beside the water, with harbour vessels, cranes and the Copenhagen waterfront in the background, giving useful context for travel, tourism, literary heritage and Danish cultural identity. Although modest in scale, the statue has become one of Copenhagen's best-known landmarks and a powerful city symbol, frequently photographed by visitors walking along Langelinie, touring the harbour, visiting nearby Kastellet, or exploring the waterfront north of the city centre. The photograph has strong editorial value for articles about Copenhagen sightseeing, Denmark travel, Scandinavian city breaks, Hans Christian Andersen, fairy tale tourism, public sculpture, bronze monuments, harbour promenades and the relationship between Copenhagen and the sea. The green bronze surface, rounded rock, calm water and open sky create a classic documentary view of a much visited landmark, while the industrial and maritime background helps avoid a purely postcard reading by placing the sculpture in the working harbour landscape. The Little Mermaid is also useful for wider themes around cultural memory, national icons, literary adaptation, tourist expectations, public access to art and the continuing appeal of understated civic monuments. The scene suits guidebooks, travel features, educational publishing, cultural history, cruise tourism, Nordic destination marketing and stock photography uses needing a recognisable image of Copenhagen and Denmark.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R6AJ08 - Eberle Street has long been established as the heart of the LGBT Community here in Liverpool, comprising of multiple night clubs, bars and the once world famous Garlands nightclub. As it stood, the street infrastructure was unloved with poor paving, lighting and cellar doors making for an environment that didn't appeal to pedestrians during the day, and created obstacles for the high footfall after dark.
BCA Landscape created a unique identity to the once undesirable street, through the use of a bespoke contemporary paving and matching lights, with subtle hints to Judy Garland's Yellow Brick Road' dotted along the route. The use of a strong geometric pattern draws people up the street and along the way can be found bespoke paving units which have key characters and elements of the Wizard of Oz', from the iconic red shoes to Toto and even the famous Emerald City.
'Eberle Street is a hub of Liverpool's night time economy and LGBT community so its redesign required an imaginative approach that had the verve and style to celebrate its unique position and elevate it to a prominence it richly deserves. Once complete it will also greatly enhance the experience of the Commercial District and promote the north-south walking routes between the district and the rest of the city centre. As the nation recently saw with Granby Street's Turner Prize winning transformation, meaningful regeneration has to be led by those who live and work in that area and the input from the business community has been a key part of the entire process.''

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMPN - This image shows St Mary's Church, the historic parish church of Walthamstow, located at Church End in East London. The church is set within a landscaped churchyard containing gravestones, flowers and mature trees, creating a calm green space within the surrounding urban area.
St Mary's has medieval origins and has been altered and extended over centuries, resulting in a distinctive exterior that reflects different periods of church architecture. The tower with its clock face forms a prominent local landmark, while the long nave and arched windows emphasise the building's role as a place of worship and community gathering.
The photograph was taken in daylight during the warmer months, with trees in leaf and wildflowers visible in the churchyard, adding seasonal colour and softness to the scene. The combination of historic stonework and greenery makes the location attractive to visitors, walkers and those interested in London's religious and architectural heritage.
St Mary's Church remains an important focal point in Walthamstow Village, illustrating the area's transformation from a rural settlement to part of the modern capital, while preserving a strong sense of continuity, local identity and spiritual history.

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

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R1WX6X - From Here' by Turner Prize shortlisted artist Nathan Coley is a landmark new co-commission between Liverpool Biennial and Culture Liverpool on Liverpool's UNESCO World Heritage Waterfront.
The text-based light sculpture is made up of the words From Here, All the Worlds Futures, From Here, All the Worlds Pasts . Inspired by the writing of German philosopher, Walter Benjamin, and acknowledging the curator, Okwui Enwezor's influential exhibition All The World's Futures at Venice Biennale 2015, Nathan Coley's expansion of the phrase presents a new meaning that reinforces the power of Liverpool as a place, its history and speaks to the hope for the future.
Measuring twenty metres in length, the largest text work made to date by the artist, has been designed specifically to wrap around the four sides of the St. George's Dock Pumping Station, an iconic Victorian red brick building located on Mann Island in the heart of the city, and still used on a daily basis by the building's owners Network Rail.
Nathan Coley lives and works in Glasgow. This will be the first time he has shown in Liverpool since his work was featured in the Turner Prize Exhibition at Tate Liverpool in 2007, for which he was shortlisted.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NYNDXF - Tate Liverpool is an art gallery and museum in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, and part of Tate, along with Tate St Ives, Cornwall, Tate Britain, London, and Tate Modern, London. The museum was an initiative of the Merseyside Development Corporation. Tate Liverpool was created to display work from the Tate Collection which comprises the national collection of British art from the year 1500 to the present day, and international modern art. The gallery also has a programme of temporary exhibitions. Until 2003, Tate Liverpool was the largest gallery of modern and contemporary art in the UK outside London.
History
Housed in a converted warehouse within the Albert Dock on Liverpool's waterfront, the gallery was opened on 24 May 1988 by Prince Charles, an event covered by BBC Two television. The original conversion was done by James Stirling but the building was given a major refurbishment in 1998 to create additional gallery space.
In 2007, the foyer area was redesigned by architects Arca to create an updated appearance and better proportions, as well as to improve visitor handling. The gallery cafe was also redesigned by Peter Blake and Liverpool-based architects, Architectural Emporium. The centrepiece of the space is a new timber desk with an undulating orange fascia, which links to the retained colour scheme of the original conversion work by Stirling. A colour-changing wall acts as a backdrop to the simplified brick volume, visible from across Albert Dock. Behind the scenes, Arca also made alterations to the hospitality, cloakroom, events and education areas.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AEDHXR - Traditional Irish Restaurants in Dublin
Ireland is known for great music, great art and great literature not so much for great food. However, Dublin's best traditional restaurants are fighting back against the cuisine's bland reputation with exceptional local produce, innovative cooking techniques and a liberal serving of the country's trademark creativity.
Hearty, warming and wholesome that's Irish food in brief, but its detractors would say there's little more to it than stewed meat and potatoes. According to local restaurant owners, including Elaine Murphy, director of The Winding Stair Group of restaurants, this couldn't be further from the truth. I believe we have come incredibly far as a post-colonial nation, in terms of confidence in our own product, she says. In Dublin, you'll still find traditional classics such as coddle (a jumble of bacon, sausage and potato) and Irish lamb stew, but you'll also find exciting Michelin-acclaimed chefs taking the cuisine to new heights.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6NA - Take a Look Inside Overthrow Boxing, Where Celebs Like Usher and J-Lo Train
There is a crowd gathering outside the door of 9 Bleecker Street, the gritty downtown headquarters of Overthrow Boxing.
Passersby slow their pace and turn their heads towards the pulsating hip-hop that blares out Overthrow's doors and onto the sidewalk. Through its ground floor windows, and past an aggressive neon red sign, a few dozen young women chat excitedly as they wrap their hands before squeezing into boxing gloves.
Further back another class is still in session, with the participants jabbing ferociously at shared punching bags as an instructor screams down from a ring set alongside an exposed brick wall.
On any given night, a peek through these same steamed-up windows could result in a story-worthy sighting of Nina Agdal, Usher, Martha Hunt, Jennifer Lopez, the Fat Jewish or Will Smith.
This is exactly what Overthrow founder Joey Goodwin had in mind when he started the gym two years ago. I wanted to create an atmosphere that drew you in, he says. Everyone on the outside is trying to get a better look, wishing they were a part of the action.
Atisha Paulson
The phenomenon was one that Goodwin observed while on the iconic West 4th basketball courts, where he started balling at the age of 10.
There he was introduced to the sport of boxing through a fellow player.
I think he saw me run my mouth and get beaten up too many times, remembers Goodwin, leaning back in his office on the gym's second floor. He took me to East River Park and taught me a few moves. I was hooked immediately.
Enrolling in a local boxing gym, the street-wise Goodwin immediately spotted an opportunity for growth. The room was filled CEOs, models, editors and entrepreneurs, he says. I began to see the potential that could come with creating a real boxing brand, done in the style of SoulCycle or Barry's Bootcamp.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7MF1 - Buckfast Tonic Wine, commonly known as Buckfast or Buckie, is a fortified wine with caffeine, licensed from Buckfast Abbey in Devon and distributed by J. Chandler & Company in the United Kingdom and Grants of Ireland in Ireland.
The drink has become a subject of controversy in Scotland due to its links with ned culture
a senior politician labelled it as a badge of pride amongst those who are involved in antisocial behaviour.
Buckfast is very popular in Scotland, the sales of the product were monitored in 2014 by the Scottish government to see if the Buckfast Triangle still stood. The test showed that the towns and cities where Buckfast was sold highest per capita were, in order, Glasgow and the surrounding areas, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Cambuslang, and Coatbridge, all of which are in the northern areas of Lanarkshire, excepting Glasgow.
Several Scottish politicians and social activists have singled out Buckfast Tonic Wine as being particularly responsible for crime, disorder, and general social deprivation in these communities. Although Buckfast accounts for only 0.5% of alcohol sales in Scotland, the figure is markedly higher in Lanarkshire. Helen Liddell, former Secretary of State for Scotland, called for the wine to be banned. In 2005, Scottish Justice Minister Cathy Jamieson suggested that retailers should stop selling the wine. On a subsequent visit to Auchinleck within her constituency, she was greeted by teenagers chanting, Don't ban Buckie. Jamieson then received correspondence from lawyers acting for Buckfast distributors, J. Chandler & Company, in Andover. A further consequence was that Buckfast sales increased substantially in the months following Jamieson's comments

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDF029 - The peace lines or peace walls are a series of border barriers in Northern Ireland that separate Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods. They have been built at urban interface areas in Belfast, Derry, Portadown and elsewhere. The stated purpose of the peace lines is to minimise inter-communal violence between Catholics (most of whom are nationalists who self-identify as Irish) and Protestants (most of whom are unionists who self-identify as British).
The peace lines range in length from a few hundred yards to over three miles (5 km). They may be made of iron, brick, and/or steel and are up to 25 feet (7.6 m) high. Some have gates in them (sometimes staffed by police) that allow passage during daylight but are closed at night.
The most prominent peace lines in the past few years separate the nationalist Falls Road and unionist Shankill Road areas of West Belfast
the Catholic Short Strand from the Protestant Cluan Place areas of East Belfast
and the Protestant Fountain estate and Catholic Bishop Street area of Derry.
In 2008, a public discussion began about how and when the peace lines could be removed. While, on 1 September 2011, Belfast City Council agreed to develop a strategy regarding the removal of peace walls, a study was released in 2012 indicating that 69% of residents believe that the peace walls are still necessary because of potential violence. At the end of 2011, several local community initiatives resulted in the opening of a number of interface structures for a trial period.
In January 2012, the International Fund for Ireland launched a Peace Walls funding programme to support local communities who want to work towards beginning to remove the peace walls. In May 2013, the Northern Ireland Executive committed to the removal of all peace lines by mutual consent by 2023.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDF03J - A sculptural metal wall panel designed by young people from the Greater Shankill was installed on one of Northern Ireland's most famous peace walls today. Funded by the Arts Council led Re-imaging Communities programme, the large scale artwork was officially unveiled by Arts Minister Nelson McCausland.
The artwork, inspired by ideas presented by the local community, depicts a face, made up of dozens of smaller images themed around Belfast's industrial heritage. Created by artist Kevin Killen, The Face' has been installed on one of Belfast's most recognisable landmarks, the peace wall which divides the Shankill Road from the Falls Road at Cupar Way.
Arts Minister, Nelson McCausland said: This sculpture is a good example of how the arts have the power to transform a local area. Projects such as 'The Face' create a more welcoming atmosphere and help develop a community where people are proud to live. 'The Face' is part of the If Walls Could Talk programme which aims to create an outdoor art gallery of world-class art pieces and provide a canvas on which to express the rich history and cultural heritage of the area. Re-imaging art projects have been a key element in facilitating positive social change and I congratulate artist Kevin Killen and the participants from Impact Training and the Greater Shankill Alternatives for what they have achieved.
Artist Kevin Killen explained how the artwork was created: The Face relates to the themes of Belfast industries, working with the young adults in Impact Training, we designed and fabricated the artwork. Being a part of the project was rewarding and insightful to everyone involved. As the group was a part of the process from start to finish they have developed ownership of the artwork, which is an important benefit. I hope that the artwork gives pride to all the participants involved in the project.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDF049 - A sculptural metal wall panel designed by young people from the Greater Shankill was installed on one of Northern Ireland's most famous peace walls today. Funded by the Arts Council led Re-imaging Communities programme, the large scale artwork was officially unveiled by Arts Minister Nelson McCausland.
The artwork, inspired by ideas presented by the local community, depicts a face, made up of dozens of smaller images themed around Belfast's industrial heritage. Created by artist Kevin Killen, The Face' has been installed on one of Belfast's most recognisable landmarks, the peace wall which divides the Shankill Road from the Falls Road at Cupar Way.
Arts Minister, Nelson McCausland said: This sculpture is a good example of how the arts have the power to transform a local area. Projects such as 'The Face' create a more welcoming atmosphere and help develop a community where people are proud to live. 'The Face' is part of the If Walls Could Talk programme which aims to create an outdoor art gallery of world-class art pieces and provide a canvas on which to express the rich history and cultural heritage of the area. Re-imaging art projects have been a key element in facilitating positive social change and I congratulate artist Kevin Killen and the participants from Impact Training and the Greater Shankill Alternatives for what they have achieved.
Artist Kevin Killen explained how the artwork was created: The Face relates to the themes of Belfast industries, working with the young adults in Impact Training, we designed and fabricated the artwork. Being a part of the project was rewarding and insightful to everyone involved. As the group was a part of the process from start to finish they have developed ownership of the artwork, which is an important benefit. I hope that the artwork gives pride to all the participants involved in the project.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE18C8 - Samson and Goliath are the twin shipbuilding gantry cranes situated at Queen's Island, Belfast, Northern Ireland. The cranes, which were named after the Biblical figures Samson and Goliath, dominate the Belfast skyline and are landmark structures of the city. Comparative newcomers to the city, the cranes rapidly came to symbolise Belfast in a way that no building or monument had hitherto done.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HGC7XD - The equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow city centre is shown with the famous orange traffic cone balanced on the rider's head, a mischievous local tradition that has become one of the best-known visual symbols of the city. The bronze monument stands outside the Gallery of Modern Art, commonly known as GoMA, in Royal Exchange Square, close to Buchanan Street, George Square and the busy retail and cultural heart of Glasgow. The sculpture depicts Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, on horseback and was created by Italian-born sculptor Carlo Marochetti, with the statue erected in 1844. Although intended as a formal Victorian memorial connected with Wellington's military reputation and the end of the Napoleonic Wars, its modern fame is now inseparable from the traffic cone, widely seen as an expression of Glaswegian humour, irreverence and civic character. The image shows the contrast clearly: a grand equestrian monument, neoclassical columns, museum frontage and heritage architecture, undercut by an everyday road cone turned into unofficial public art. The scene is valuable for editorial use about Glasgow tourism, Scottish culture, urban identity, public sculpture, listed monuments, heritage conservation, city branding, street humour, visitor attractions and the way communities reinterpret formal civic monuments. The traffic cone tradition is often dated to at least the 1980s and has survived repeated removal, becoming a near-permanent and much-loved feature for residents, students, tourists and photographers. The picture also works for stories about public art, alternative heritage, local protest, playful vandalism, council debates about conservation costs, travel features on unusual British landmarks and wider discussion of how statues gain new meanings over time. The overcast light, blue sky breaks, red-windowed buildings and GoMA exhibition banner add a strong urban context, placing the quirky monument firmly in the everyday streetscape of c

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEF91 - Unionist loyalist mural in Sandy Row, South Belfast, photographed on a gable end wall beside a small paved public space with red, white and blue bollards and a lamppost in the foreground. The mural carries the words You are now entering Loyalist Sandy Row, heartland of South Belfast, Ulster Freedom Fighters and includes clenched red fists, a masked gunman figure and the phrase Quis Separabit , a Latin unionist motto meaning Who shall separate us . The image is a strong editorial stock photograph for Northern Ireland politics, loyalist iconography, contested identity, murals, sectarian geography, urban history, peace process legacy, paramilitary symbolism and the visual culture of Belfast streets. Sandy Row is a long-established loyalist and unionist district close to Belfast city centre, historically associated with working class Protestant communities, Orange Order culture, flags, murals and political wall art. The reference to the Ulster Freedom Fighters is significant because the UFF name was used by the Ulster Defence Association, a loyalist paramilitary organisation involved in violence during the Troubles and later proscribed as a terrorist organisation. The photograph should be used in a careful documentary and editorial context rather than as decorative celebration. Visible details include the pale blue painted wall, large black block lettering, red clenched fists, masked armed figure, brick paving, colour-coded bollards, nearby housing, trees and the overcast Belfast sky. It can illustrate articles on loyalist areas, paramilitary murals, community identity, territorial marking, sectarian symbolism, murals after the Good Friday Agreement, Belfast tourism, conflict memory, urban regeneration and the complicated role of political art in post-conflict Northern Ireland. The image also works for discussions about how walls, slogans, flags and public art shape perceptions of belonging, exclusion, intimidation, heritage and memory in divided cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEF9E - Sandy Row is a street in south Belfast, Northern Ireland. It lends its name to the surrounding residential community, which is predominantly Protestant working-class. The Sandy Row area had a population of 2,153 in 2001. It is a staunchly loyalist area of Belfast, being a traditional heartland for affiliation with the paramilitary Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and the Orange Order.
Sandy Row is situated in south Belfast, beginning at the edge of the city centre, close to the Europa Hotel. The road runs south from the Boyne Bridge (formerly the Saltwater Bridge) over the old Dublin railway line beside Great Victoria Street station, then crosses the Donegall Road and ends at the bottom of the Lisburn Road. At the north end of the road was the famous Murray's tobacco factory, which was first opened in 1810, while at the other is a large Orange hall.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEFDC - The Shankill Road is one of the main roads leading through west Belfast, Northern Ireland. It runs through the predominantly loyalist working class area known as the Shankill. The road stretches westwards for about 2.4 km (1.5 mi) from central Belfast and is lined, to an extent, by shops. The residents live in the many streets which branch off the main road. The area along the Shankill Road forms part of Court district electoral area.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEFDR - The Bayardo Bar attack took place on 13 August 1975 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A unit of the Provisional IRA Belfast Brigade, led by Brendan McFarlane, launched a bombing and shooting attack on the pub on Aberdeen Street (off the loyalist Shankill Road), which was frequented by Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) members as well as civilians. Four Protestant civilians and one UVF member were killed.
According to journalists Alan Murray and Peter Taylor, it was retaliation for the Miami Showband massacre almost a fortnight earlier, when the popular Dublin-based band were ambushed by the UVF at a bogus military checkpoint. Three band members were shot dead by the UVF gunmen after their minibus was blown up in a premature explosion.
McFarlane and two other IRA volunteers, Peter Skeet Hamilton and Seamus Clarke, were sentenced to life imprisonment for perpetrating the Bayardo attack.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEFE7 - 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 HEEG4D - 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 Flickr 4663970701 - 'One of my favourite evening strolls with a view is along Wapping/Strand Street in Liverpool when dusk draws in. You can almost imagine the sea shanties from years gone past wafting up from the old clippers and other boats that must have plied the Mersey river to make this the great city that it is.
Shanties go way beyond the stereotype of a song about the sea that simply ends '..never to return'. In the days when human muscles were the only power source available aboard ship, sea shanties served a practical purpose: the rhythm of the song served to synchronize the movements of the sailors as they toiled at repetitive tasks. They also served a social purpose: singing and listening to songs is pleasant
it alleviates boredom and lightens the burden of hard work, of which there was no shortage on long voyages in those days.
Most shanties are 'call and response' songs, with one voice (the shantyman) singing the line and the chorus of sailors bellowing the response (compare military cadence calls). For example, the shanty 'Boney':
Shantyman: Boney was a warrior,
All: Way, hey, ya!
Shantyman: A warrior and a tarrier,
All: Jean-Fran\u00e7ois!
Shanties can be split into a number of catagories. Long-haul or 'halyard' / 'long-drag') sung when hauling a long rope rope. Short-drag - as before, but a short rope. Capstan Shanties: Raising the anchor on a ship. Pumping Shanties, for pumping out the bilge hold. By now you probably realise how hard sailing used to be!
Sailors reputed to be good shantymen were valued and respected, although were expected to do their proper jobs too.
In recent times, the shanty style has been recycled by artists as wide afield as the Sex Pistols ('Frigging in the Rigging') and the Decemberists ('Mariners Revenge Song').
The theme song for the television show SpongeBob SquarePants (a version of 'Blow the Man Down') is one. Even the song 'Reise, Reise' by the german metal band Rammstein is based on a shanty.
A number of sea shanties mention Liverpool and the Mersey. have a look at Ron Smiths excellent site and connect with some seafaring history!

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HTT4 - The Royal Liver Building is a Grade I listed building located in Liverpool, England. It is sited at the Pier Head and along with the neighbouring Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building is one of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront. It is also part of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City.
Opened in 1911, the building is the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative. One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, the Royal Liver Building stands at 90 m (300 ft) tall.
It was the tallest storied building in Europe from completion until 1934 and the tallest in the United Kingdom until 1961. The Royal Liver Building is now however only the joint-fourth tallest structure in the City of Liverpool, having been overtaken in height by West Tower, Radio City Tower and Liverpool Cathedral.
Today the Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool and is home to two fabled Liver Birds that watch over the city and the sea. Legend has it that were these two birds to fly away, then the city would cease to exist.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4631607472 - 'When I am in Manchester, I usually take a short cut through this fabulous place, which you can do unless a performance is in progress. Many moons ago I used to go to meetings of the junior chamber of commerce here, in one of the side rooms. On this day it was spookily deserted. I stopped to check a text message while my camera with on my shoulder and below me a solitary man, dressed in black crossed the room without sound.
It has a great feeling of history (the last trading values still remain on the trading board for cotton etc) from 1968 and is very modern with its central circular 'pod' of a theatre at its heart. Its great to see events here and I have seen Shakespeare plays as well as the veritable John Shuttleworth (AKA Jilted John).
The Royal Exchange is a grade II listed Victorian building bounded by St Ann\u2019s Square, Market Street and Cross Street. The complex includes the Royal Exchange Theatre, and the Royal Exchange shopping centre.
The current building is the last of several buildings on the site used for commodities exchange, primarily but not exclusively of cotton and textiles.
The first exchange was built near to the present site in 1792. The first exchange was replaced by a second, larger, exchange that was constructed between 1806 and 1809. The second exchange was enlarged between 1847 and 1849. The second exchange was in turn replaced, by a third exchange by 'Mills &
Murgatroyd', constructed between 1867 and 1874. The building was then extended and modified by 'Bradshaw Gass &
Hope' between 1914 and 1931 to form the largest trading room in England. Thus was the importance of Manchester at this time.
The theatre's unique design was conceived by Richard Negri of Wimbledon School of Art, and was intended to create an unusually vivid and immediate relationship between actors and audiences. As the floor of the Exchange would not be able to take the great weight of the theatre and its audience, the module is suspended from four columns that also carry the hall's central dome. Only the stage area and ground-level seating rest on the floor of the hall itself.
The theatre can seat up to 700 people on three levels, making it the largest theatre in the round in Britain. There are 400 seats at ground level in a raked configuration, above which lie two galleries, each with 150 seats set in two rows. Every seat has a clear view of the stage.
Repairs after the IRA bombing adjacent in Corporation Street took over two years to complete and cost \u00a332 million, a sum provided by the National Lottery.
The Royal Exchange building and the theatre itself are reputed to be haunted. One of the ghosts is reputed to be that of the actor and founding artistic director, James Maxwell. Another is that of a maternal Victorian lady, well dressed and with 'a passion for drink'.
In 2006, the building was the subject of a paranormal investigation by the Most Haunted programme on Living TV.

The image connects public art, civic identity, local history and city centre tourism in one of Manchester's best known cultural buildings. Bee in the City was a free Manchester art trail created with Wild in Art and Manchester City Council, running from 23 July to 23 September 2018, with giant bee sculptures placed across the city and wider area. The worker bee has long been used as a symbol of Manchester, linked with industry, hard work, collective effort, civic pride and the city's industrial past. In this photograph the bee sits beside the Archives+ sign, giving the scene extra relevance for stories about archives, local studies, libraries, heritage, public memory, cultural learning and Manchester's public services. The sculpture's bold stripes, oversized eyes, antennae, honeycomb pattern and roped display area make it a strong visual for searches about Manchester Bee, Bee in the City, public sculpture, art trails, family attractions, city branding, urban culture, community art, tourism, libraries, archives and northern identity. The indoor setting also works well for features on Manchester Central Library, St Peter's Square, civic buildings, visitor attractions, arts funding, local authority culture, public engagement and educational activities. With no people visible, the image remains flexible for editorial, travel, heritage, education, tourism, stock photography, websites, blogs, magazines and guidebook use. It captures how Manchester's bee symbol has moved from architectural and industrial motif into a widely recognised modern emblem of belonging, resilience, creativity and shared civic pride.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T0WE16 - Taken on 28 Jan 2023, this photograph shows Made in Sheffield, red neon sign, Kelam Island, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK, S3 8RD. The location is Kelam Island, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK, S3 8RD. The picture is not just a record shot: it contains readable commercial or civic signage, colour, typography and street context. Sheffield's name is internationally linked with steel, cutlery, engineering and industrial skill, so the neon wording works as a shorthand for civic identity, manufacturing heritage and northern regeneration. It can be used in editorial features, business reports, local-history writing, travel guides, public-policy explainers, educational material and SEO-led stock-photo searches needing a specific real-world image. For image buyers, the value is in the combination of recognisable subject, readable wording, location evidence and a plain documentary style that can be dropped into news, magazine, web, council, housing, transport, heritage or commercial commentary without looking over-produced. Searchable related phrases include South Yorkshire, Sheffield, Made in Sheffield, red, neon, sign, made, making, manufacturing, industry, Kelham Island, Kellham Island, plus wider ideas such as local identity, public realm, urban detail, social history, commercial change, everyday Britain, documentary photography and place-based storytelling. The composition gives designers scope for captions, page furniture, social media crops, report covers and article thumbnails, while the detailed captioning makes it more discoverable for searches using both specific place names and broader themes. This makes the image useful for comparison pieces, then-and-now features, local news, regeneration stories and plain-English explainers aimed at a general audience.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy JH6749 - Brexit: What is the Northern Ireland Protocol?
Northern Ireland Protocol - agreed with the European Union (EU) in 2019 - has been a source of tension since it came into force at the start of 2021.
Special trading arrangements were needed for Northern Ireland after the UK voted for Brexit in 2016. This is because it's the only part of the UK with a land border with an EU country - the Republic of Ireland.
Before Brexit, it was easy to transport goods across this border because both sides had the same EU trade rules. No checks or paperwork were necessary.
After Brexit, a new system was needed because the EU has strict food rules and requires border checks when certain goods - such as milk and eggs - arrive from non-EU countries.
UK and the EU agreed that protecting the 1998 Northern Ireland peace deal - the Good Friday Agreement - was an absolute priority. So, both sides signed the Northern Ireland Protocol as part of the Brexit withdrawal agreement, which is now part of international law.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says the Protocol has caused problems which had not been expected when the agreement was signed.
The government now wants to ditch parts of the deal.
It wants to create red lanes and green lanes for goods imported from Britain into Northern Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H6ETR8 - Castle Square, historic Aberdeen, The Granite city, North East Scotland at dusk, UK is a useful documentary subject because it fixes a recognisable place, object or activity in its real setting rather than presenting it as a staged illustration. Castle Square in Aberdeen at dusk shows the Granite City's austere stone character softened by evening light and urban activity. The subject can support stories about north-east Scotland, oil-city identity, retail streets, night-time economy, civic space, tourism and the resilience of historic centres facing changing commercial patterns. Low light, dusk or night conditions add atmosphere and make the subject useful for evening economy, safety and seasonal weather contexts. The location detail, Aberdeen, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. It would suit newspaper, magazine, web, council, transport, heritage, housing, retail, travel or social-commentary use where a believable, unpolished view of real life is more valuable than a generic illustration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEFGM - 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
