Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDXW - This image shows a wide riverside view of Maritime Greenwich in South East London, capturing several of the area's most recognisable transport and heritage features in a single frame. Visible along the riverfront are the Cutty Sark, the domed entrance to the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, and Greenwich Pier.
In the foreground, an Uber Boat by Thames Clippers passenger vessel travels along the River Thames, illustrating the continued importance of the river as part of London's public transport network. River bus services connect Greenwich with central London and Canary Wharf, serving both daily commuters and tourists.
The juxtaposition of historic maritime landmarks with modern river transport highlights Greenwich's dual identity as a place of global naval heritage and a functioning part of contemporary London life. The Cutty Sark's tall masts recall Britain's age of sail, while the sleek river boats reflect current priorities around sustainable and alternative transport.
Photographed in daylight under clear skies, the image conveys a sense of scale, activity, and continuity along the Thames. It is well suited to editorial use covering London transport, river commuting, heritage tourism, historic landmarks, urban geography, and the evolving role of the River Thames in the capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDXY - This image shows a Thames RIB speedboat travelling along the River Thames as it passes the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, South East London. The fast-moving rigid inflatable boat carries passengers on a sightseeing or leisure trip, creating a visible wake on the river as it moves through one of London's most historically significant riverside settings.
The National Maritime Museum forms part of Maritime Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognised for its concentration of historic buildings linked to Britain's naval and seafaring past. The grand classical facades visible along the riverbank provide a striking architectural backdrop, contrasting with the modern, high-speed leisure craft in the foreground.
River-based tourism has become an increasingly popular way to experience London, offering views of major landmarks from the water while also highlighting the Thames as a working and recreational river. The image captures this blend of heritage and contemporary leisure, with historic institutions framing modern river activity.
Photographed in daylight under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds, the image is well suited to editorial use covering London tourism, river transport, leisure boating, historic landmarks, maritime heritage, and the continuing role of the River Thames in city life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDY5 - This image shows the historic Greenwich waterfront along the River Thames in London, with the Old Royal Naval College prominently visible across the river. The symmetrical classical buildings and twin domes form one of the most recognisable architectural ensembles in the capital, reflecting the site's long maritime and naval heritage. A passenger vessel is seen travelling along the Thames in the foreground, emphasising the continued importance of the river as a transport route and tourist attraction.
The Old Royal Naval College was originally designed in the late seventeenth century by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor and later served as a naval training establishment. Today, the site is part of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for its outstanding contribution to architecture, science, and maritime history. The buildings now house cultural institutions, educational facilities, and public spaces, attracting visitors from around the world.
The image captures themes of British heritage, maritime history, tourism, and urban riverside life. It is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to London landmarks, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, historic architecture, travel and tourism, the River Thames, and the cultural identity of Greenwich within the wider city of London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PHGEEW - Sylvia Plath (October 27, 1932 ? February 11, 1963) was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. She is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry and is best known for two of her published collections, The Colossus and Other Poems (1960) and Ariel (1965), as well as The Bell Jar, a semi-autobiographical novel published shortly before her suicide in 1963. The Collected Poems was published in 1981, which included previously unpublished works. For this collection Plath was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in Poetry in 1982, making her the fourth to receive this honour posthumously.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Plath graduated from Smith College in Massachusetts and the University of Cambridge, England, where she was a student at Newnham College. She married fellow poet Ted Hughes in 1956, and they lived together in the United States and then in England. Their relationship was tumultuous and, in her letters, Plath alleges abuse at his hands. They had two children before separating in 1962.
Plath was clinically depressed for most of her adult life, and was treated multiple times with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). She killed herself in 1963, 11/02/1963

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTR45Y - The Salt Building was custom built by Sir Titus Salt to house Saltaire factory school, which started in the refectory for Salts Mill. The school moved into the new facility in 1868. In 1878, at Sir Titus's request, the Saltaire Factory school pupils moved to new buildings a few streets away and Salt Building became a High School. We still get visitors who went to school here popping in today.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JP8T9A - Why is the shortage of HRT products particularly prominent?
Some HRT products, particularly gels, are in short supply. The causes are complex and multifactorial, according to the British Menopause Society, Faculty of Sexual Reproductive Healthcare, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).7 In a joint statement they say, HRT supply has not always been reliable in recent years, with multiple factors including manufacturing capacity, understanding current and future demand, and disruption of global supply chains all contributing.
The organisations also point to a sea change in the public conversation around menopause. Increased awareness of the menopause and HRT has been called the Davina effect after a Channel 4 documentary presented by Davina McCall in May 2021.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) says demand for HRT has risen 38% in the past seven years, as access has been extended.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPH6JH - Alexander Denton (1542-8 January 1576) of Hillesden in Buckinghamshire was a landowner and member of the Buckinghamshire gentry. He is best known for his two monuments, one in Hereford Cathedral the other in Hillesden Church.
Origins
He was the only child and heir of Thomas Denton (1515-1558) of Hillesden, several times a Member of Parliament, by his wife Margaret Mordaunt, a daughter of John Mordaunt, 1st Baron Mordaunt, of Turvey, Bedfordshire, and widow of Edmund Fettiplace (d.1540) of Besselsleigh, Berkshire.[1]
Marriages - he married twice:
Firstly to Anne Willison (1548-1566), who died aged 18, a daughter of Richard Willison (d.1575) of Sugwas near Hereford, by his wife Anne Elton of Ledbury,[2] whose joint monument with recumbent effigies survives, mutilated, in Madley Church.[3] Arms of Willison: A chevron between three lions rampant, as visible on the Madley Church monument and on the Denton monument in Hereford Cathedral.
Secondly he married Mary Martin (d.1574) a 15-year-old daughter and co-heiress of Sir Roger Martyn, Lord Mayor of London in 1567. Her portrait by George Gower to commemorate her marriage survives in the York Art Gallery.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPH6K3 - The fan-vaulted chantry chapel of Bishop Stanbury was one of the last medieval additions to Hereford cathedral, dating from c1480. This delightful, intimate space is entered from the north choir aisle and is chiefly noted for it's beautiful ceiling, though it also contains two fine Arts & Crafts stained glass windows with historical vignettes by Bromsgrove Guild artist A.J.Davies, c1923.
Hereford Cathedral is a fascinating place, not one of largest cathedrals or considered amongst the most architecturally significant, but one of the most interesting and rewarding nonetheless. It follows the usual cruciform plan for large churches but here the nave is the longest limb, the choir being relatively short for a cathedral, though the church extends further eastwards in the fine retrochoir and lady chapel. there are an eastern pair of transepts too, though here they do not rise above aisle roof level.
The central tower dominates the small city's skyline, but much less today than it once did, for originally it was crowned by a tall lead spire, and in addition there was a similar, slightly smaller tower at the west end (without a spire) thus the building's profile was very different to what we see today. Sadly this fine building has suffered several tragedies in it's history, the greatest of which was in 1786, when the west tower suddenly collapsed following an earth tremor, taking much of the nave with it. The architect chosen for the reconstruction was the notorious James Wyatt, who demolished all the remaining upper sections of the nave and substituted them with his own rather bland interpretation of Gothic. He also shortened the nave by one bay and built a rather mean west facade without rebuilding the west tower (the main tower also lost it's spire around this time). The present west facade is a more exuberant rebuilding by John Oldrid Scott from 1902-8.
The cathedral has generally been heavily restored throughout the 19th century

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPH6KP - An ecclesiastical ring is a finger ring worn by clergy, such as a bishop's ring.
As pontifical accoutrements
Council ring given by Pope Paul VI in 1965 to those bishops who had participated in the Second Vatican Council
In Western Christianity, rings are worn by bishops as well as other clerics who are given the privilege of wearing pontifical vestments.
Bishops
A bishop is given a ring at his consecration by his consecrator. He is also free to subsequently obtain and wear his own episcopal rings. The style of the episcopal ring has almost always been very large, gold, stone-set ring. Roman Catholic bishops traditionally have their episcopal ring set with an amethyst.
Aside from the rings a bishop purchases or is given by others, his rings belong to the Church
he will have inherited the previous bishop's ring collection, which is held in trust. While all hierarchs are accorded the honor of being buried wearing a ring, all rings belonging to the Church will be returned to the Church upon the retirement or death of any hierarch
Custom prescribed that a layman or a cleric of inferior grade on being presented to a bishop should kiss his hand (called baciamano in Italian), which is to say, an obligation to kiss the episcopal ring. Before the promulgation of the 1967 Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, an indulgence of 50 days resulted from this act. It is still arguable that an indulgence may be received if the ring is considered an object of piety, as kissing an object of piety carries a partial indulgence.

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

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8DJF6 - The Library of Trinity College Dublin (Irish: Leabharlann Chol?iste na Tr??on??ide) serves Trinity College and the University of Dublin. It is a legal deposit or copyright library, under which, publishers in Ireland must deposit a copy of all their publications there, without charge. It is the only Irish library to hold such rights for works published in the United Kingdom.
The Library is the permanent home to the Brian Boru harp which is a national symbol of Ireland, a copy of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic, and the Book of Kells. One of the four volumes of the Book of Kells is on public display at any given time. The volumes and pages shown are regularly changed
a new display case installed in 2020 will allow all pages to be displayed including many not seen in public for several decades
The Library proper occupies several buildings, six of which are at the Trinity College campus itself, with another part of the Trinity Centre at St James's Hospital, Dublin:
The oldest library building, now known as the Old Library, is Thomas Burgh's magnum opus. Construction began in 1712. A large building which took twenty years to complete in its original form, it towered over the university and city after its completion in 1732. Even today, surrounded by similarly scaled buildings, it is imposing and dominates the view of the university from Nassau Street. The Book of Kells is located in the Old Library, along with the Book of Durrow, the Garland of Howth and other ancient texts. Also incorporating the Long Room, the Old Library is one of Ireland's biggest tourist attractions and holds thousands of rare, and in many cases very early, volumes. In the 18th century, the college received the Brian Boru harp, one of the three surviving medieval Gaelic harps, and a national symbol of Ireland, which is now housed in the Library
The Library began with the founding of Trinity College in 1592. In 1661, Henry Jones presented it with the Book of Kells

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG3YJD - Ulysses , he crossed under Tommy Moores roguish finger C&C
Leopold Bloom is the fictional protagonist and hero of James Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses. His peregrinations and encounters in Dublin on 16 June 1904 mirror, on a more mundane and intimate scale, those of Ulysses/Odysseus in Homer's epic poem: The Odyssey.
Factual antecedents
When Joyce first started planning a story in 1906 called Ulysses to be included in Dubliners, the central character was based on a Dublin acquaintance named Alfred Hunter whom Joyce had met traveling to a funeral in July 1904.
Another model was probably Italo Svevo.
The character's name (and maybe some of his personality) may have been inspired by Joyce's Trieste acquaintance Leopoldo Popper. Popper was a Jew of Bohemian descent who had hired Joyce as an English tutor for his daughter Amalia. Popper managed the company of Popper and Blum and it is possible that the name Leopold Bloom was invented by taking Popper's first name and anglicizing the name Blum.
Fictional biography
Bloom is introduced to the reader as a man of appetites:
Mr. Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. But most of all, he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGTXBJ - Dorney Lake (also known as Eton College Rowing Centre, and as Eton Dorney as a 2012 Summer Olympics venue) is a purpose-built rowing lake in England. It is near the village of Dorney, Buckinghamshire, and is around 3 km (2 miles) west of Windsor and Eton, close to the River Thames.
The lake is privately owned and financed by Eton College, which spent ?17 million developing it. Additional grants, totalling ?500,000, were obtained from Sport England, UK Sport, the DCMS and SEEDA in order to build the lake's finish tower. The project was completed in 2006, after 10 years of construction. Although it is primarily for use by the school, the facilities are hired out for rowing, as well as for canoeing, dragon boating, open water swimming and triathlon.
Since the lake was opened, a number of annual regattas that were previously held on the River Thames have been transferred to the lake. These include the Marlow Regatta in June, the Metropolitan Regatta in May/June, and the Wallingford Regatta in May.
The lake's dimensions follow the FISA rules for a rowing lake suitable for hosting a World Rowing Championship, World Rowing Cup or Olympic regatta:
Stillwater, with consistent water conditions
2,200 metres (7,200 ft) straight length for racing
8 rowing lanes, each 13.5 metres (44 ft) wide
Minimum water depth of 3.5 metres (11 ft)
A return channel allowing boats to move to the start, separated from the main lake by an island

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RFF5W4 - Canal Street, the centre of the Manchester Gay Village, is a street in Manchester city centre in North West England. The pedestrianised street, which runs along the west side of the Rochdale Canal, is lined with gay bars and restaurants. At night time, and in daytime in the warmer months, the street is filled with visitors, often including gay and lesbian tourists from all over the world. The northern end of the street meets Minshull Street and the southern meets Princess Street
part of the street looks across the Rochdale Canal into Sackville Park.
90's Focus led to several of the pubs on or near Canal Street acquiring a predominantly gay clientele. In 1991, Manto (Manchester Tomorrow) bar opened at no. 46. It was built in 1989 by Benedict Smith Architects. Unlike the other gay bars at that time, Manto had large glass windows, allowing the casual passer-by to view what was going on inside. Previously, many establishments catering for the gay community were often keen to conceal activities from the general public, but the architectural design of Manto was seen as a queer visual statement of we're here, we're queer ? get used to it, and a brick-and-mortar refusal to hide any more, or to remain underground and invisible.
Over the next decade, more numerous and larger bars opened along the canal side, turning Canal Street into the centre of the most successful gay village in Europe. Because of this, the Canal Street street signs are regularly defaced to read Anal Treet or Anal Street. The success was further enhanced by the use of Canal Street and its bars in several television series, including Bob and Rose and Queer as Folk, both written by Russell T Davies.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XN7Y - The Mound is an artificial slope in central Edinburgh, Scotland, which connects Edinburgh's New and Old Towns. It was formed by dumping around 1,501,000 cartloads of earth excavated from the foundations of the New Town into Nor Loch which was drained in 1765 and forms today's Princes Street Gardens.
History
The construction of the Earthen Mound, as it was originally called, was first proposed in 1783 by residents of the Lawnmarket to improve connection to Princes Street (which was then built only from St Andrew Square to Hanover Street) in correct anticipation of the need for such a new route. It was extended over the years until by 1830 it was macadamised and landscaped so that it appeared more or less complete. When the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway was extended to Waverley station in 1846, tunnels were driven through the Mound to allow access east to west.
The Bank of Scotland headquarters on The Mound
Some of Edinburgh's most notable buildings and institutions have their premises on the Mound, including the National Gallery of Scotland, the Royal Scottish Academy, the spires of the University of Edinburgh's New College, the General Assembly Hall of the Church of Scotland, the elegant domed Headquarters of the commercially owned Bank of Scotland, and its museum, Museum on the Mound.
The Mound is a busy, if fairly steep, thoroughfare taking traffic to and from Princes Street in the New Town to the Royal Mile in the Old Town. The lower end, or 'Foot' of the Mound is a few metres' walk from the Princes Street tram stop. Due to its raised elevation, the Mound commands expansive views over Princes Street and the New Town of Edinburgh and towards Calton Hill. An 'electric blanket' was installed under the surface of the roadway of the mound to keep this clear of ice and snow in 1959. It is no longer operational but was one of the first of its type

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy R9GTK0 - Edinburgh College is opening what is claimed to be Scotland's first solar meadow.
The five-acre site, at the Midlothian campus in Dalkeith, features more than 2,500 photo-voltaic panels.
Its designed and installed by energy company SSE - would cut its fuel bills.
It will also help to train engineering students and to research the impact on electrical output of environmental factors such as the weather.
Professor Steve Tinsley oversaw the solar meadow project
But we have produced a fantastic project here, he said.
Up to this point, Scotland produces 500 kW of solar PV energy. With this project we have now trebled that.
Richard Chandler, SSE's head of Green Deal and Energy Solutions, said: The Solar Meadow will generate enough energy to power 170 homes.
It's also a fine example of how industry and education can work well together.
This project will bring benefits to the college, its students and the wider community as well as further strengthening Scotland's renewable energy resources.
Alana Beaton, from Inverness, who is studying electrical engineering at the college, said she was hoping the college would be able to use the project as an outdoor classroom to help her get a job in the industry.
Having the solar meadow available means that we're going to have hands-on experience with green energy, she said.
We know fossil fuels are slowly running out, so green energy is the way forward.
Myth busting
The site, at what used to be the former Jewel and Esk college until the merger which created Edinburgh College six months ago, is one of the most northerly solar power installations in Europe.
Research there will focus on the interplay between biodiversity and solar technology. To help that the entire site will be planted with wild grasses and flowers.
Professor Tinsley said: This is a significant research facility, and we've had conversations with various universities on how we use it, and attract funding for future projects.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6NJ - Peter Cooper (February 12, 1791 ? April 4, 1883) was an American industrialist, inventor, philanthropist, and politician. He designed and built the first American steam locomotive, the Tom Thumb, founded the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, served as its first president, and stood for election as the Greenback Party's candidate in the 1876 presidential election.
Cooper began tinkering at a young age while working in various positions in New York City. He purchased a glue factory in 1821 and used that factory's profits to found the Canton Iron Works, where he earned even larger profits by assembling the Tom Thumb. Cooper's success as a businessman and inventor continued over the ensuing decades, and he became the first mill operator to successfully use anthracite coal to puddle iron. He also developed numerous patents for products such as gelatin and participated in the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable.
During the Gilded Age, Cooper became an ardent critic of the gold standard and the debt-based monetary system of bank currency, advocating instead for government-issued banknotes. Cooper was nominated for president at the 1876 Greenback National Convention, and the Greenback ticket of Cooper and Samuel Fenton Cary won just under one percent of the popular vote in the 1876 general election. His son Edward and his son-in-law Abram Hewitt, both served as Mayor of New York City.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P72D36 - People Make Glasgow' unveiled as new city brand
The slogan People Make Glasgow has been unveiled as the new brand name for Scotland's largest city.
It was chosen following a consultation which saw ideas submitted from more than 1,500 people from 42 countries.
Glasgow City Marketing Bureau said the process saw words such as real, smart, home, creative, bright and better came through, time and time again.
The brand will be used to market the city at home and abroad and replaces: Glasgow: Scotland with style.
The slogan combines with key ideas to form different messages, such as People Make Glasgow Home and People Make Glasgow Creative.
Glasgow City Council has committed ?500,000 this year to develop and promote the brand across the UK and internationally.
'Sense of pride'
Council leader Gordon Matheson said said the new slogan reflects the Glaswegian character.
It's bold, friendly, confident, and it evokes a real sense of pride, he added.
The people of Glasgow are at the heart of this brand - we have created something which presents a truly distinctive identity for the city and on behalf of Glasgow I would like to warmly thank all those who gave their ideas so generously.
The four-week consultation, which was run by the council's city marketing bureau, also attracted 7,000 website hits and involved more than 400,000 Facebook and Twitter users worldwide.
Image caption Business leaders in Glasgow have welcomed the new brand name
Once submissions had been analysed, a creative team from the marketing bureau came up with the new slogan, which was approved by board members.
Councillor Matheson added: Over the past five weeks we have reviewed all of the contributions from Glaswegians and from across the globe.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM1TET - Bristol Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, is the Church of England cathedral in the city of Bristol, England. Founded in 1140 and consecrated in 1148, it was originally St Augustine's Abbey but after the Dissolution of the Monasteries it became in 1542 the seat of the newly created Bishop of Bristol and the cathedral of the new Diocese of Bristol. It is a Grade I listed building.
The eastern end of the church includes fabric from the 12th century, with the Elder Lady Chapel which was added in the early 13th century. Much of the church was rebuilt in the English Decorated Gothic style during the 14th century despite financial problems within the abbey. In the 15th century the transept and central tower were added. The nave was incomplete at the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 and was demolished. In the 19th century Gothic Revival a new nave was built by George Edmund Street partially using the original plans. The western twin towers, designed by John Loughborough Pearson, were completed in 1888.
Located on College Green, the cathedral has tall Gothic windows and pinnacled skyline. The eastern end is a hall church in which the aisles are the same height as the Choir and share the Lierne vaults. The late Norman chapter house, situated south of the transept, contains some of the first uses of pointed arches in England. In addition to the cathedral's architectural features, it contains several memorials and an historic organ. Little of the original stained glass remains with some being replaced in the Victorian era and further losses during the Bristol Blitz.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GMAACD - Robert Gordon's College is a private co-educational day school in the heart of Aberdeen, Scotland. The school caters for pupils from Nursery through to S6.
It originally opened in 1750 as the result of a bequest by Robert Gordon, an Aberdeen merchant who made his fortune from trading with Baltic ports, and was known at foundation as Robert Gordon's Hospital. This was 19 years after Gordon had died and left his estate in a 'Deed of Mortification' to fund the foundation of the Hospital. The fine William Adam-designed building was in fact completed in 1732, but lay empty until 1745 until Gordon's foundation had sufficient funds to complete the interior. During the Jacobite rising, in 1746 the buildings were commandeered by Hanoverian troops and named Fort Cumberland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GMAB08 - Marischal College is a large granite building on Broad Street in the centre of Aberdeen in north-east Scotland, and since 2011 has acted as the headquarters of Aberdeen City Council. However, the building was constructed for and is on long-term lease from the University of Aberdeen, which still uses parts of the building to house a museum and for ceremonial events. Today, it provides corporate office space and public access to council services, adjacent to the Town House, the city's historic seat of local government. Many Aberdonians consider Marischal College to be an icon of the Granite City and to symbolise the zenith of Aberdeen's granite-working industry.
The construction of the modern college building began in 1835, following the demolition of previous buildings on the site, and was completed in its present form in the early 1900s. It is the second largest granite building in the world. Formerly the seat of the Marischal College and University of Aberdeen founded in 1593, the building was retained by the unified University of Aberdeen which was created in 1860 by the merger of Marischal College and King's College. The buildings of Marischal College continued to be used for academic purposes until the mid-20th century and less and less until the early 2000s. During this period they were frequently rebuilt and expanded upon.
In the mid-to-late 20th century, teaching and academic activities at the university began to move to King's College or Foresterhill (for students of medicine) and by the early 21st century a new purpose for Marischal College was required. After a number of unsuccessful proposals, the majority of the building was leased to Aberdeen City Council to be restored and refurbished as office accommodation. The extensive renovation was completed on schedule and significantly under budget and the building opened to the public in June 2011. The university has retained the Mitchell Hall and a number of other significant parts of the building.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4KYM - Around ten Walsall College students and apprentices will be offered the unique chance to put their stamp on the new Walsall Business and Sports Hub (WBSH) scheme. It follows an agreement made between the College and Interserve Construction (part of the international support services and construction group Interserve), which is leading on the development. There is also an opportunity for at least 20 students to get involved in work placements in the wider Interserve operation including business administration and project-based work experience.
Students will start their placements with Interserve by January and they will see both traditional and modern construction techniques whilst working closely alongside project and support staff as well as learning valuable employability skills.
Construction work, which started at the end of August, remains on schedule ahead of the official opening in September 2015. Heavy goods vehicles are expected to make the first delivery of steelwork this week as the new build begins to take shape.
The state-of-the-art development, adjacent to Walsall College's main ?64 million Wisemore Campus on Littleton Street West, will include a business incubation centre for start-up businesses, sports hall with badminton courts to Sport England standards, dance and fitness studios, sports training and injury clinic and a fine dining restaurant. It forms part of Walsall Council's long-term ?400 million Gigaport initiative, which is creating business and office development along the ring road corridor.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXJ8H - The Mound is an artificial hill in central Edinburgh, Scotland, which connects Edinburgh's New Town and Old Town. It was formed by dumping around 1,501,000 cartloads of earth excavated from the foundations of the New Town into the drained Nor Loch which forms today's Princes Street Gardens.
The construction of the Earthen Mound, as it was originally called, was begun in 1781 and it was extended over the years until by 1830 it was macadamised and landscaped so that it appeared more or less complete. When the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway was extended to Waverley in 1846, tunnels were driven under The Mound to allow access to the west. The Bank of Scotland headquarters on the Mound
Some of Edinburgh's most notable buildings and institutions have their premises on The Mound, including the National Gallery of Scotland, the Royal Scottish Academy, the spires of New College, the General Assembly Hall of the Church of Scotland, the elegant domed Headquarters of the Bank of Scotland, and its museum, Museum on the Mound.
Today The Mound is a busy, if fairly steep, thoroughfare taking traffic to and from Princes Street and the Royal Mile in the Old Town. Due to its raised elevation, the Mound commands expansive views over Princes Street and the New Town of Edinburgh and towards Calton Hill.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEF9X - Queen's University Belfast (informally Queen's or QUB) is a public research university in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The university was chartered in 1845, and opened in 1849 as Queen's College, Belfast, but has roots going back to 1810 and the Royal Belfast Academical Institution.
The university forms the focal point of the Queen's Quarter area of the city, one of Belfast's four cultural districts. It offers academic degrees at various levels and across a broad subject range, with over 300 degree programmes available. Since 1 March 2014, Patrick Johnston has been the university's 12th President and Vice-Chancellor. Its Chancellor is Thomas Moran.
Queen's is a member of the Russell Group of leading research intensive universities, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the European University Association, Universities Ireland and Universities UK. The university is associated with two Nobel laureates and one Turing Award laureate.
Lanyon took as his source the medieval great halls of
England and the Oxbridge colleges, following the strict precedents of
the raised dais, oriel window, fireplace for the top table, and a
screened passage at the opposite end. These plans fell victim to the
original budget cuts
Lanyon's planned gallery was never built and
the panelling remained modest, the latter not helped by later
redecorations. All of this changed in 2000 with the restoration of the
Great Hall by Consarc Conservation, architects. The floor and dais
were replaced and the oriel window unblocked. New pitch pine
panelling and a screened passage with a gallery above, the
replacement of the missing end trusses, and the comprehensive
redecoration and installation of a new lighting system, have all
combined to create a warm, powerful and theatrical space at the
heart of the University. More recently, the restored organ from
Christchurch (where Sir Charles and Lady Lanyon used to worship)
has been installed in the gallery.

Works herself into a frenzied state and it shows....'
*** By Request ***
This is a track from 'No more heroes' the second Stranglers album. It was produced by Martin Rushent, and released in 1977. The classic cover featured a photo of a wreath placed on a coffin with the tails of several rats (the Stranglers' 'trademark'). It was one of the first albums I bought, after many plugs on the John Peel show.
They are said to be the longest-surviving and most 'continuously successful' band to have originated in the UK punk scene of the mid to late 1970s. Beginning life as the Guildford Stranglers on the 11th September 1974 with pub rock origins.
The Stranglers' early sound was driven by Jean-Jacques Burnel's melodic bass, but also gave prominence to Dave Greenfield's keyboards at a time when the instrument was seen as unfashionable. Their early music was also characterised by the growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics of both Jean-Jacques Burnel and Hugh Cornwell.
To hear more (for my money), checkout any or all of the first 3 albums: Rattus Norvegicus (1977), No More Heroes (1977) &
Black and White (1978 - I still have a promo grey/white vinyl version in my loft). Do tell 'em I sent you...

Trinity College, Dublin (TCD
Irish: Col\u00e1iste na Tr\u00edon\u00f3ide, Baile \u00c1tha Cliath), formally known as the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin, was founded in 1592 by letters patent from Queen Elizabeth I as the 'mother of a university', and is the only constituent college of the University of Dublin. Located in Dublin, Ireland, it is Ireland's oldest university.
Trinity was set up in part to consolidate the rule of the Tudor monarchy in Ireland, and it was seen as the university of the Protestant Ascendancy for much of its history
although Roman Catholics and Dissenters had been permitted to enter as early as 1793, certain restrictions on their membership of the college remained until 1873 (professorships, fellowships and scholarships were reserved for Protestants) , and the Catholic Church in Ireland forbade its adherents, without permission from their bishop, from attending until 1970. Women were first admitted to the college as full members in 1904.
Its a cool place, make time in your busy life to spend an afternoon there.
This is the place to see the Book Of Kells or just to enjoy the green on a sunny afternoon. My thanks to MOB (you know who you are) for the suggested Dublin tour. I met some old friends and old ghosts during my afternoon.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HD5E - King's College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England. Formally named The King's College of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas in Cambridge, the college lies on the River Cam and faces out onto King's Parade in the centre of the city.
King's was founded in 1441 by Henry VI, soon after he had founded its sister college in Eton. However, the King's plans for the college were disrupted by the Wars of the Roses and resultant scarcity of funds, and his eventual deposition. Little progress was made on the project until in 1508 Henry VII began to take an interest in the college, most likely as a political move to legitimise his new position. The building of the college's chapel, begun in 1446, was finally finished in 1544 during the reign of Henry VIII.
King's College Chapel is regarded as one of the greatest examples of late Gothic English architecture. It has the world's largest fan-vault, and the chapel's stained-glass windows and wooden chancel screen are considered some of the finest from their era.
The building is seen as emblematic of Cambridge. The chapel's choir, composed of male students at King's and choristers from the nearby King's College School, is one of the most accomplished and renowned in the world. Every year on Christmas Eve the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols (a service devised specifically for King's by college dean Eric Milner-White) is broadcast from the chapel to millions of listeners worldwide

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4863609745 - 'The King Of The Rumbling Spires - 'Marc Bolan &
T-Rex' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Today a track from a band who were critically examined by few, and are unfortunately remembered for their glam rock and 'Marc' teenpop TV shows period. I hope this track will urge you to look a bit deeper into them or dig out that old black 7 or 12 inch player.
T. Rex were an English rock band fronted by guitarist, singer and songwriter Marc Bolan. Formed as Tyrannosaurus Rex in 1960s London, the folk rock group's debut album 'My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows' in 1968 reached number 15 in the UK.
In the 1970s, they achieved mainstream success as a glam rock band with the hits 'Get It On', 'Ride a White Swan', '20th Century Boy', 'Children of the Revolution', 'Hot Love', 'Telegram Sam' and 'Metal Guru'. After waning commercial success in the mid-70s, T. Rex ended in 1977 after Bolan was killed at the wheel of his Mini in a car accident.
'King of the Rumbling Spires' in 1970 was the beginning of the transition to a full electric rock/pop band rather than the folky origins of the band. The early 1970's brought a clutch of hits, many covered by Bauhaus and others
Ride a White Swan, Hot Love, Get It On.
EMI even gave Bolan his own record label in the UK\u2014T. Rex Records, the 'T. Rex Wax Co.'. However by 1973 its said that success, money, cocaine, and brandy had become the downfall of the band, with a number of members leaving.
In the summer of 1976 a resurgence started. T. Rex released two more singles, 'I Love to Boogie' (which charted at number 13) and 'Laser Love', which made number 42. In early 1977 Dandy in the Underworld was released to critical acclaim.
Bolan had slimmed down and regained his elfin looks, and the songs too had a stripped-down, streamlined sound. A spring UK tour with punk band The Damned on support garnered positive reviews. As Bolan was enjoying a new surge in popularity, he talked about performing again with old band members, as well as reuniting with legendary producer Tony Visconti.
It was not to be however. Marc Bolan and his girlfriend Gloria Jones spent the evening of 15th September 1977 drinking at the Speakeasy and then dining at Morton's club on Berkeley Square, in Mayfair central London. While driving home early the morning of 16 September, Jones crashed Bolan's purple Mini 1275GT into a tree (now the site of Bolan's Rock Shrine), at Barnes Bridge, Barnes, South West London.
This was less than a mile from his home at 142 Upper Richmond Road West in East Sheen. While Jones was severely injured, Bolan was killed in the crash, two weeks before his 30th birthday. Taken from us, who knows what could have been...

King's College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge, England. Founded in 1441 by Henry VI, the college's formal name is 'The King's College of Our Lady and St. Nicholas in Cambridge'. It is usually referred to simply as 'King's' within the university.
Originally, the college was to be specifically for boys from Eton College. It was not until 1865 that the first non-Etonian undergraduates arrived to study at King's, and the first fellow to have not attended Eton was elected in 1873. The connection with Eton is now weak, but a scholarship to attend the college, exclusively available to students from Eton, is still awarded each year.
The Gatehouse, was built in the neo-Gothic style and adorned with a clock. The chapel is the most impressive in the city.

It was the fourth university to be established in Scotland, making it one of the ancient universities of the United Kingdom...
The university is consistently placed amongst the best in the world, ranking 20th in the 2009 THES - QS World University Rankings, as well as 17th in the current Global University Ranking. THES - QS World University Rankings has consistently ranked University of Edinburgh as the best university in Scotland, and one of the five best universities in UK.
The university played an important role leading the city of Edinburgh to its reputation as a chief intellectual centre during the Age of Enlightenment, and helped give the city the nickname of the Athens of the north.
Alumni of the university include some of the major figures of modern history. The founding of the University is attributed to Bishop Robert Reid of St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney, who left the funds on his death in 1558 that ultimately provided the University's endowment. The University was established by a Royal Charter granted by James VI in 1582, becoming the fourth Scottish university at a time when the neighbour neighbour to the south, England, had only two..
The Guardian University Guide 2008 ranked the University of Edinburgh as follows:..7th in the UK overall.1st in the UK for computer science.1st in the UK for physics.1st in the UK for Nursing.2nd in the UK for medicine..A very outstanding achievment and the uni resides in some outstanding architectural monuments, such as Old College as seen here..

Salad were a cool, annoying likeable UK pop group formed in London in 1992, that included Dutch vocalist/keyboardist and MTV presenter Marijne van der Vlugt. She is the daughter of Dutch actor Bram van der Vlugt. The first album, Drink Me from which this excellent cut is taken from, was released in 1995. It reached #16 of the UK Albums Chart.
That whole album in in the same vein as this track. If you like this, I urge you to track it down, make yourself a pot of tea or settle down with something stronger, transport yourself to the

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. This trend has gradually continued, leaving hobbyists (suspected of working with Al-Qaeda or similar) in many parts of the world without access to most reagents.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0MWX - St Elphins Church Warrington Cheshire in the Borough Council WBC area, England North West UK United Kingdom . Close to Farrell street, College Close, A57, Salisbury St.
It is a Church Of England building . The church is dominated by its spire, 281 feet (86 m) high. It is the seventh highest in the country, the fifth highest parish church in the UK, after the St. Walburge's Church, Preston, St. James Church, Louth, St Mary Redcliffe, and St. Wulfram's Church, Grantham.
A place of worship has been present on the site since about 650 and the presence of a priest in Warrington was recorded in the Domesday Book. The earliest fabric in the church is in the chancel and the crypt, which survive from the church built in 1354 by Sir William Boteler. The church was badly damaged by the Parliamentary forces in the Civil War. Following this the tower was rebuilt in 1696 and the nave in 1770. The south aisle was added in the early 19th century. Most of the fabric of the present church is the result of an extensive restoration between 1859 and 1867 by Frederick and Horace Francis. It was during this restoration that the spire was added. The bells were recast in 1698 and again in 1884. In 1950 they were recast again and the clock was replaced.
Within the church, St Ann's Chapel was founded by Thomas Massey, rector of Warrington from 1448 to 1464. It continued to belong to the Massey family until they died out in 1748. The chapel was then acquired by the Patten family who built a vault to bury members of the family, the last being Lord Winmarleigh in 1892. The Lady Chapel was founded and endowed by Sir John Boteler in 1290. He and other family members were buried in the chapel. In 1943 it became the chapel of the South Lancashire Regiment and in 1976 the chapel of The Queen's Lancashire Regiment.

Follow me on Twitter twitter.com/HotpixUK
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This classic track can be found on 'A Beard of Stars'. Its the fourth album by Tyrannosaurus Rex (Trex), comprising Marc Bolan (vocals, guitar, organ, bass) and the first with new partner Mickey Finn (percussion). It was released in March 1970. It is notable for the beginning of Bolan using electric instruments on the T.Rex albums.
Early Tyrannosaurus Rex released four albums and four singles, flirting with the charts, reaching as high as number fifteen and supported with airplay by legendary Radio 1 DJ John Peel. One of the highlights of this era was when the duo played at the first free Hyde Park concert in 1968.
Although the free-spirited, drug-taking Steve Took was fired from the group after their first American tour, they were a force to be reckoned within the hippy underground scene while they lasted. Their music was filled with Marc's otherworldly poetry, a book of which he published in 1969, 'The Warlock Of Love'. In keeping with his early rock and roll interests, Bolan began bringing amplified guitar lines into the duo's music, buying a vintage Gibson Les Paul guitar (later featured on the cover of the album T. Rex in 1970).
After replacing Took with Mickey Finn, he let the electric influences come forward even further on A Beard of Stars, the final album to be credited to Tyrannosaurus Rex. It closed with the song 'Elemental Child,' featuring a long electric guitar break influenced by Jimi Hendrix.
Bolan, by now married to his girlfriend June Child (a former secretary to the manager of another of his heroes, Syd Barrett), shortened the group's name to T. Rex and wrote and recorded 'Ride a White Swan', dominated by a rolling, hand clapping back-beat, Bolan's electric guitar and Finn's percussion.
Bolan and his producer Tony Visconti oversaw the session for 'Ride a White Swan', the single that changed Bolan's career. Recorded on 1 July 1970 and released later that year, it made slow progress in the UK Top 40, until it finally peaked in early 1971 at number two.
Bolan took to wearing top hats and feather boas on stage as well as putting drops of glitter on each of his cheekbones. Stories are conflicting about his inspiration for this\u2014some say it was introduced by his personal assistant, Chelita Secunda, although Bolan told John Pidgeon in a 1974 interview on Radio 1 that he noticed the glitter on his wife's dressing table prior to a photo session and casually daubed some on his face there and then. Other performers\u2014and their fans\u2014soon took up variations on the idea. Glam rock was born.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P72CWA - People Make Glasgow' unveiled as new city brand
The slogan People Make Glasgow has been unveiled as the new brand name for Scotland's largest city.
It was chosen following a consultation which saw ideas submitted from more than 1,500 people from 42 countries.
Glasgow City Marketing Bureau said the process saw words such as real, smart, home, creative, bright and better came through, time and time again.
The brand will be used to market the city at home and abroad and replaces: Glasgow: Scotland with style.
The slogan combines with key ideas to form different messages, such as People Make Glasgow Home and People Make Glasgow Creative.
Glasgow City Council has committed ?500,000 this year to develop and promote the brand across the UK and internationally.
'Sense of pride'
Council leader Gordon Matheson said said the new slogan reflects the Glaswegian character.
It's bold, friendly, confident, and it evokes a real sense of pride, he added.
The people of Glasgow are at the heart of this brand - we have created something which presents a truly distinctive identity for the city and on behalf of Glasgow I would like to warmly thank all those who gave their ideas so generously.
The four-week consultation, which was run by the council's city marketing bureau, also attracted 7,000 website hits and involved more than 400,000 Facebook and Twitter users worldwide.
Image caption Business leaders in Glasgow have welcomed the new brand name
Once submissions had been analysed, a creative team from the marketing bureau came up with the new slogan, which was approved by board members.
Councillor Matheson added: Over the past five weeks we have reviewed all of the contributions from Glaswegians and from across the globe.
We also interviewed more than 40 of Glasgow's leaders from the private, public and academic sectors and, overwhelmingly, they told us that what makes Glasgow great is its people.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXW31 - A wide-angle view of the courtyard at Old College, part of the University of Edinburgh, photographed on South Bridge in central Edinburgh, EH8 9YL. The image shows the symmetrical stone fa??ades, classical detailing and central dome that characterise one of Scotland's most important historic university buildings.
Old College was designed by architect Robert Adam in the late eighteenth century and later completed by William Henry Playfair, reflecting the architectural ambition and intellectual confidence of the Scottish Enlightenment. The building has long served as a focal point for teaching, administration and academic life at the University of Edinburgh, one of the world's leading research universities.
The enclosed quadrangle and formal layout were intended to express order, learning and civic pride, values closely associated with Edinburgh's reputation as a centre of philosophy, medicine, law and science. Today, Old College continues to house key university functions while also standing as a landmark within Edinburgh's Old Town.
The stone balustrades, paved walkways and traditional lamp standards visible in the image reinforce the sense of continuity between historic scholarship and modern university life. Set against a blue sky with carefully maintained lawns, the scene conveys calm, permanence and institutional authority.
Photographed in daylight with a wide field of view, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including higher education, academic heritage, Scottish Enlightenment history, historic architecture and the role of universities within urban centres. It is well suited to use in educational publications, travel features, architectural studies and cultural commentary relating to Scotland and its universities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM253M - Bristol Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, is the Church of England cathedral in the city of Bristol, England. Founded in 1140 and consecrated in 1148, it was originally St Augustine's Abbey but after the Dissolution of the Monasteries it became in 1542 the seat of the newly created Bishop of Bristol and the cathedral of the new Diocese of Bristol. It is a Grade I listed building.
The eastern end of the church includes fabric from the 12th century, with the Elder Lady Chapel which was added in the early 13th century. Much of the church was rebuilt in the English Decorated Gothic style during the 14th century despite financial problems within the abbey. In the 15th century the transept and central tower were added. The nave was incomplete at the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 and was demolished. In the 19th century Gothic Revival a new nave was built by George Edmund Street partially using the original plans. The western twin towers, designed by John Loughborough Pearson, were completed in 1888.
Located on College Green, the cathedral has tall Gothic windows and pinnacled skyline. The eastern end is a hall church in which the aisles are the same height as the Choir and share the Lierne vaults. The late Norman chapter house, situated south of the transept, contains some of the first uses of pointed arches in England. In addition to the cathedral's architectural features, it contains several memorials and an historic organ. Little of the original stained glass remains with some being replaced in the Victorian era and further losses during the Bristol Blitz.

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 2JPH6JD - John Blanke was a royal trumpeter in the courts of Henry VII and Henry VIII, and remains the only black Tudor for whom we have an identifiable image. While serving two kings, he bore witness to some of the great moments in England's history and contributed to some of the greatest spectacles of the Tudor age.
We know nothing of the early life of John Blanke. In fact, John Blanke may not have been his name at birth. Blanke may have been a play on the words blanc (French) or blanco (Spanish), meaning white.
We know from manuscript evidence that John Blanke was described as black, and the two surviving images of him, painted around 1511, show that he had dark skin.
The earliest named reference to John Blanke was a payment made by Henry VII in December 1507, when he was one of eight royal trumpeters under the leadership of Peter de Casa Nova. This entry shows he was paid 20 shillings, at 8d. (old pence) each day, for his service in November.
John Blanke may have arrived in England in the entourage of Katherine of Aragon in 1501, who was to marry Prince Arthur, eldest son and heir of Henry VII. Katherine's entourage included a group of trumpeters and Henry VII rewarded the '9 trumpets of Spain' shortly after her arrival.
It is likely that Catalina of Motril, a Muslim Moor and one of Katherine's servants of the bedchamber, was also part of that contingent.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R9J0FG - The Northern Ireland Public Service Alliance (NIPSA) is a trade union in Northern Ireland affiliated to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. It is the largest trade union in Northern Ireland, with around 46,000 members, and is organised into two groups, the Civil Service Group, for the staff of public bodies employed on civil service terms and conditions, and the Public Officers Group, for employees of education and library boards, health and social services boards, the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, district councils, other public bodies and voluntary organisations.
Its current General Secretary is Carmel Gates, and President Brian Smyth.
In the wake of the First World War and Partition of Ireland, the Northern Ireland Civil Service was organised out of the remnants of the Dublin Castle administration. The Unionist Government set up six Ministries (Finance, Home Affairs, Education, Agriculture, Commerce and Labour) and a Prime Minister's Office. It essentially mirrored the set-up in Great Britain, with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Finance becoming the Head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service.
The earliest incarnation of what was to become NIPSA was the Belfast and District Public Officers' Association (BDPOA), but it was short-lived, down to its own success, when it opened a Derry branch and became the Ulster Public Officers' Association. Its first General Secretary was John Walters
The NICSA, AECS and Civil Service Association merged in 1971 to become NIPSA, with Brendan Harkin as its first General Secretary.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF77W - The Verve was an English rock band formed in Wigan, Greater Manchester in August 1990 by lead vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bass guitarist Simon Jones and drummer Peter Salisbury. Guitarist and keyboard player Simon Tong later became a member in their first reunion only.
Beginning with a psychedelic sound with their debut LP A Storm in Heaven, by the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and four albums. They also endured name and line-up changes, break-ups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. The band's commercial breakthrough was the 1997 album Urban Hymns, one of the best-selling albums in UK history. It features the hit singles Bitter Sweet Symphony, The Drugs Don't Work, Sonnet and Lucky Man. In 1998, the band won two Brit Awards, winning Best British Group, appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone in March, and in February 1999, Bitter Sweet Symphony was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
Soon after their commercial peak, The Verve disbanded in April 1999, citing internal conflicts. According to Billboard magazine.
On 24 May 1998, The Verve played a homecoming concert in front of 33,000 fans in the grounds of Haigh Hall & Country Park, Aspull, supported by Beck and John Martyn. The band then played gigs in mainland Europe, but, on 7 June, a post-show fight at D?sseldorf-Philipshalle left McCabe with a broken hand and Ashcroft with a sore jaw. After this, McCabe decided he could not tolerate the pressures of life on the road any longer and pulled out of the tour, leaving the band's future in jeopardy, with rumours of a split circulating in the press. The band continued with session musician B. J. Cole replacing McCabe, whose guitar work was also sampled and triggered on stage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GMAAHP - Robert Gordon's College is a private co-educational day school in the heart of Aberdeen, Scotland. The school caters for pupils from Nursery through to S6.
It originally opened in 1750 as the result of a bequest by Robert Gordon, an Aberdeen merchant who made his fortune from trading with Baltic ports, and was known at foundation as Robert Gordon's Hospital. This was 19 years after Gordon had died and left his estate in a 'Deed of Mortification' to fund the foundation of the Hospital. The fine William Adam-designed building was in fact completed in 1732, but lay empty until 1745 until Gordon's foundation had sufficient funds to complete the interior. During the Jacobite rising, in 1746 the buildings were commandeered by Hanoverian troops and named Fort Cumberland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXW9T - A wide view of the Old College buildings at the University of Edinburgh, photographed within the formal courtyard on South College Street in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. The neoclassical sandstone architecture, arranged around a rectangular lawn, is dominated by the central domed structure and symmetrical wings that frame the space. Stone balustrades, paved walkways and a traditional lamppost add depth and perspective, reinforcing the ordered and ceremonial nature of the historic university setting.
Old College is one of the most recognisable academic buildings in Scotland and has been central to the University of Edinburgh's identity since the eighteenth century. The architecture reflects Enlightenment ideals of reason, balance and civic purpose, qualities closely associated with Edinburgh's historical reputation as a centre of learning and intellectual life. The courtyard layout creates a sense of calm and enclosure, separating scholarly activity from the surrounding streets of the Old Town.
The image captures the continuity between past and present within a working university environment. While the buildings are steeped in history, they remain an active part of modern academic life, housing teaching spaces, offices and cultural venues. The absence of crowds allows the architectural form and materials to take visual precedence, emphasising the scale, craftsmanship and permanence of the institution.
This photograph is well suited for editorial use covering higher education, university life, historic architecture, Scottish culture and heritage, as well as commercial applications relating to education marketing, cultural tourism, academic publications and representations of European universities within historic urban settings.
