Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ECEEBH - Photograph of the Horace Banner memorial stained glass window inside Grappenhall Independent Methodist Church, Barton Avenue, Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire. The tall arched window shows a Christian mission scene with a gold cross above clouds and blue rays of light, a waterfall, green palms and a small boat below. The readable biblical wording includes Go ye therefore and teach all nations and I am with you always even unto the end of the world, a passage associated with the Great Commission in the Gospel of Matthew. The image is suitable for editorial use around Methodist heritage, nonconformist Christianity, church art, memorial windows, religious teaching and local history in Cheshire.
The composition shows the stained glass set within a pointed church arch, with dark interior shadows around the window and small side panels visible on either side. The strong colours, including blue, red, green, white and gold, make the image useful for searches connected with religious stained glass, biblical illustration, Christian symbolism, chapel interiors and worship spaces. The waterfall, boat and tropical plants give the window a narrative quality, suggesting travel, evangelism, baptismal water and spreading Christian faith.
This image has local value for Grappenhall, Warrington and Cheshire history, especially where editorial buyers need visual material connected to Independent Methodist congregations, chapel architecture, remembrance and faith communities outside the Church of England. As a stock photograph it can illustrate articles about Methodism, local chapels, religious memorials, stained glass conservation, Christian education, scripture in art, public worship, village heritage and the continuing role of small churches in English community life. The Horace Banner association adds a personal and commemorative dimension, although individual biographical detail should be checked against church records before any more specific claim is made.

Image of Eighth Station: Jesus meets the women of JerusalemLeader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, as you carry your cross you see a group of women along the road. As you pass by you see they are sad. You stop to spend a moment with them, to offer them some encouragement. Although you have been abandoned by your friends and are in pain, you stop and try to help them.
As a child, sometimes I think a lot about myself. I think about what I want and would like people to spend their lives pleasing me.
As an adult, sometimes I act like a child. I become so absorbed in myself and what I'd like that I forget about the needs of others. I take them for granted, and often ignore their needs.
Help me think more about others. Help me remember that others have problems, too. Help me respond to them even when I'm busy or preoccupied with my own problems.
My Jesus, Who didst comfort the pious women of Jerusalem who wept to see Thee bruised and torn, comfort my soul with Thy tender pity, for in Thy pity lies my trust. May my heart ever answer Thine.
Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YTG - Hale is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Halton, Cheshire, England with a population of 1,800. The village is north of the River Mersey, and just to the east of the boundary with Merseyside. It is 2+1⁄2 miles east of Speke in Liverpool, and 4 miles south-west of Widnes. The nearby village of Halebank is to the north-east.
Historically part of Lancashire, until 1 April 1974 the area formed part of the Whiston Rural District.
The population of the parish is stable with a population of 1,898 (2001 census), 1,841 (2011 census) and 1,800 (2021 census).
John Middleton (15781623), the Childe of Hale, was reputed to be nine feet, three inches tall, or 2.8 m. His cottage and grave are located in the village. Just outside St Mary's Church was a wooden carving of the Childe Of Hale that is said to have been life-sized. It was replaced in 2013 by a 3-metre bronze statue by sculptor Diane Gorvin
Middleton was born in the village of Hale, near Liverpool. According to contemporary accounts and his epitaph, he grew to the height of 9 feet 3 inches (2.82 m) and slept with his feet hanging out the window of his house.
Because of his size the landlord and sheriff of Lancashire, Gilbert Ireland, hired him as a bodyguard. When King James I stopped by in 1617 to knight Ireland he heard about Middleton and invited both of them to the court, which they accepted in 1620. Middleton beat the King's champion in wrestling and in doing so broke the man's thumb. He received £20, a large amount of money in those times. Jealous of his wealth, Middleton's companions mugged him or swindled him out of his money while he was returning to Hale. Middleton died impoverished in 1623. He was buried in the cemetery of St Mary's Church in Hale. The epitaph reads, Here lyeth the bodie of John Middleton the Childe of Hale. Nine feet three. Borne 1578 Dyede 1623. He is likely one of the tallest people in history. If these height markings are accurate, he would surpass Robert Wadlow's stature

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3BH - This image shows a weathered stone cross standing within the churchyard at Ross-on-Wye, a historic market town in Herefordshire, England. The cross sits on a stepped stone base within a well-kept grassy graveyard and appears to be a medieval or later ecclesiastical monument, typical of parish churchyards across the English border counties.
Behind the cross are a mix of traditional buildings, including red brick Georgian and white rendered properties, reflecting the architectural character of Ross-on-Wye's historic core. The low brick boundary wall and mature greenery reinforce the sense of an enclosed, peaceful churchyard space set within the town.
The photograph was taken in bright, clear weather, likely during late spring or summer, with strong sunlight, a deep blue sky, and crisp shadows across the grass. The condition of the stonework shows signs of age and weathering, adding texture and historical authenticity to the scene.
Ross-on-Wye is widely regarded as one of the first English towns to attract visitors for leisure and tourism, particularly during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, due to its picturesque setting above the River Wye. This image captures a quieter, contemplative aspect of the town, linking religious heritage, local history, and the everyday built environment of a small English market town.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R64KW2 - The MV Royal Iris of the Mersey is a Mersey Ferry in operation on the River Mersey, England. From launch in Devon in 1959 until a major refurbishment in 2001, she was named MV Mountwood.
MV Mountwood
The Mountwood was the slightly older sister ship of the MV Woodchurch. Both of the ferries were built for the Corporation of Birkenhead to replace the existing fleet of 1930s steamers. The designs of the two new vessels were loosely based on the ferries Leasowe and Egremont of the Wallasey Corporation
they were designed by the same company, Graham and Woolnough, and were built at the same shipyard, Messrs. Philip and Sons Ltd. of Dartmouth. Mountwood was launched by Mrs Hugh Platt on 6 July 1959 into the River Dart, and after being fitted out was delivered to the Mersey in 1960. She was named after an overspill post-war housing development of Birkenhead.
The Mountwood and her identical sister Woodchurch originally had bright orange funnels with a black base and black soot buffer. On the main deck, there was a forward, heated shelter and also a main saloon, aft of this was the toilets and machine space. Below was a saloon bar. On the top deck was a large open promenade and a forward shelter beneath the bridge, although this shelter was open beneath the bridge so it was often breezy and cold. They had a main central wheelhouse and two side cabs, and power came from two medium speed Crossley 8-cylinder diesel engines.
In 2001, the Mountwood was withdrawn and taken to Birkenhead's former Cammell Laird shipyard (which became owned by A&P), and then to Clarence graving docks, where she was stripped of her fittings and parts of her superstructure were removed and rebuilt. Unfortunately the ferry remained dormant for some time due to problems at the shipyard. She was then re-engined and rebuilt. Noticeable changes were the addition of a new, angle fronted, large wheelhouse and bridge deck, plus her funnel, which was reinstated after the refit, was moved further back

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDYG - The Greenwich Foot Tunnel crosses beneath the River Thames in East London, linking Greenwich (Royal Borough of Greenwich) on the south bank with Millwall (London Borough of Tower Hamlets) on the north. Approximately 4,000 people use the tunnel each day. It opened in 1902.
The tunnel was designed by civil engineer Sir Alexander Binnie for London County Council and constructed by contractor John Cochrane & Co. The project started in June 1899 and the tunnel opened on 4 August 1902. The tunnel replaced an expensive and sometimes unreliable ferry service allowing workers living south of the Thames to reach their workplaces in the London docks and shipyards in or near the Isle of Dogs. Its creation owed much to the efforts of working-class politician Will Crooks, who had worked in the docks and, after chairing the LCC's Bridges Committee responsible for the tunnel, later served as Labour MP for Woolwich.
The section of the tunnel that was repaired following damage during World War II
The entrance shafts at both ends are beneath glazed domes. Lifts, installed in 1904, were upgraded in 1992 and again in 2012, and helical staircases allow pedestrians to access the tile-lined tunnel, which slopes gently from both sides down to a midway lowpoint beneath the river. The cast-iron tunnel is 1,215 feet (370.2 m) long, 50 feet (15.2 m) deep and has an internal diameter of about 9 feet (2.74 m). The cast-iron rings are coated with concrete and surfaced with some 200,000 white glazed tiles. The northern end was damaged by bombs during the Second World War and repairs included a thick steel and concrete inner lining that substantially reduces the diameter for a short distance. The northern shaft staircase has 87 steps
the southern one has 100.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R7A3WE - This image shows a wide, panoramic view within Highgate Cemetery in North London, with visitors seated beside historic graves along a gently curving path. Stone crosses and memorial monuments line the edge of the walkway, while mature trees and dense greenery frame the scene, reinforcing the cemetery's distinctive woodland character.
Highgate Cemetery is notable not only as a Victorian burial ground but also as a valued green space where remembrance, history, and everyday life intersect. The presence of people sitting quietly together reflects the cemetery's contemporary role as a place for reflection, conversation, and calm, as well as mourning.
The contrast between living visitors and historic memorials highlights the layered nature of the site, where nineteenth-century funerary art coexists with modern use. This balance between preservation and accessibility has helped shape Highgate's reputation as both a heritage landmark and a peaceful urban retreat.
Photographed in soft daylight, the image captures the relaxed, contemplative atmosphere that distinguishes Highgate Cemetery from more formal burial grounds. It is well suited for editorial use illustrating London green spaces, cemetery culture, heritage landscapes, and the human relationship with historic places of remembrance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PK7XBY - Charles Lutyens's Crucifixion recently installed at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral
By Marianna Lutyens
A 15-ft high, wood and steel sculpture of a crucifixion by Charles Lutyens, first seen in his exhibition of work, Being in the World, at St Paul's Church, Bow Common, London has recently been installed in Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral.
Called Outraged Christ, this was a spontaneous work it wasn't commissioned created intermittently over a number of years. With the intent of having an encounter with this Man' and with the reality of the event taking place, the sculpture was driven by such questions as Who was this Man?, What did He look like? and Why was this crucifixion remembered for 2,000 years over and above the countless other crucifixions that have taken place? It is a moving and powerful image which, in its making, disclosed itself to Charles as an Outraged Christ. Deeply engaged with this extraordinary event, Charles thought, If the resurrection happened, then was it not already inherent in the crucifixion?
The Grade II-listed St Paul's Church, designed by architects Robert Maguire and Keith Murray and consecrated in 1964, was recently voted Best modern church in Great Britain. It also contains the stunning 800-sq ft mosaic mural, also by Charles, called Angels of the Heavenly Host, the largest single artist-created mosaic mural in the British Isles. Asked by the architects to provide a design for this work I said, at the time, Sorry, it is not possible for me to design an angel, angels appear', recalls Charles. But, incredibly, the architects then said, All right, appear us an angel'. Charles recently gave a talk, in situ, for English Heritage about the mural and its making.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG1TXR - A church pebble pool plate displayed inside a church in the village of Heptonstall, Calderdale, West Yorkshire. The shallow bowl contains small stones arranged within a patterned base and is used as a focus for prayer, reflection, and symbolic participation in Christian worship.
Pebble pools are commonly found in churches as interactive devotional objects, inviting visitors and congregants to place stones in the bowl as acts of prayer, remembrance, or contemplation. The practice draws on biblical symbolism of stones as markers of faith, memory, and spiritual journey.
The pebble pool plate is shown set on a wooden table alongside traditional church furnishings, including a cross, candlesticks, and printed prayers, reinforcing the quiet, contemplative atmosphere of the interior space. The arrangement reflects the blending of historic liturgical tradition with more informal, participatory forms of worship found in many modern Anglican churches.
Photographed indoors under natural light, the image documents an everyday aspect of contemporary church life and provides an editorial illustration of Christian ritual, spiritual reflection, and the lived use of religious spaces in rural West Yorkshire.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCDXE4 - Whitby Swing Bridge is a pedestrian and road bridge over the River Esk in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England.
The River Esk has been crossed by bridges at this location for centuries. A grant made by King Edward III in 1351 allowed the collection of tolls for the maintenance of a bridge. By the mid 1550s the tolls averaged around £6 per annum (equivalent to £2,421 as of 2021).
In 1629 an agreement was made by the justices in the North Riding to replace a wooden bridge with one which included moving parts. This was later replaced by a drawbridge, built in 1766 at a cost of £3,000 (equivalent to £444,000 in 2021), and later in 1835, the first swing bridge was opened designed by Francis Pickernell

Bridge during an opening
By the early 20th century the limited 45-foot (14 m) clearance of the 1835 bridge was restricting the size of vessels which could be built up-stream of the bridge. A replacement swing bridge was commissioned by Whitby Urban District Council. It was designed by J. Mitchell Moncrieff, later President of the Institution of Structural Engineers. As work progressed on the west side of the river bank to set a pivot for the bridge to swing, a seam of coal 10 inches (250 mm) thick was struck at 26 feet (7.9 m) below the water level. The foundations had to be sunk to a depth of 32 feet (9.8 m) below the low water mark for a secure foundation.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1NK60 - St Michael and All Angels Church stands on Warhill overlooking the village of Mottram in Longdendale, Greater Manchester, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Mottram
The earliest evidence of a church on the site is in 1225 when clergy attached to the church were witnesses to local documents. There is a further reference to the church in a taxation document dated 1291. The present church dates from the end of the 15th century. A major restoration took place in 185455 by E. H. Shellard, during which the nave roof was raised
The church is built from local stone quarried from Tinsell-Norr in Perpendicular style. The plan consists of a west tower, a five-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a two-bay chancel and a south porch. At the east end of each aisle is a chapel. The north chapel is known as the Hollingworth Chapel and the south chapel is the Staley Chapel. The tower is in four stages with angled buttresses, a three-light west window above which is a clock face and two-light belfry openings. In one corner is a stair turret. At the top is a castellated parapet with crocketed corner finials.
In the churchyard is a sundial with a dial dated 1811. It consists of a stone shaft with a copper dial and a gnomon. It is listed at Grade II. Also listed at Grade II are the gatepiers, railings, steps and walls of the churchyard. Near the church is a medieval cross which was restored in 1760 and again in 1897, the latter restoration being to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria. The octagonal shaft stands on a stepped circular ashlar plinth. On its top is a cubical sundial with three copper faces. It is listed at Grade II*

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JY559Y - Northern Powerhouse Rail scaled back AGAIN as Tory says 'not much point' in plan
Proposals to build in full Northern Powerhouse Rail, also called High Speed 3, have been scrapped just weeks after they were restored by ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss
Plans for a high speed railway linking major northern cities have been ripped up again amid vicious spending cuts.
Proposals to build in full Northern Powerhouse Rail, also called High Speed 3, have been scrapped just weeks after they were restored.
The project was ditched as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt bid to plug an estimated £50billion black hole in public coffers.
No10 confirmed the Government was committed to the Integrated Rail Plan announced last November - which watered down the NPR scheme and axed HS2's eastern leg to save cash in favour of a new £96bn upgrade plan.
The Government was accused of a Great Train Robbery when it unveiled the controversial blueprint 12 months ago.
Former Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said there 'wasn't really much point in going and blasting new tunnels through the Pennines'. During her doomed seven-week premiership, PM Liz Truss reinstated pledges to build HS3 in full, linking the North's six big cities - Newcastle, Leeds, Hull, Sheffield, Manchester and Liverpool and Manchester Airport.
But Mr Sunak has now reversed that pledge in yet another trashing of his predecessor's promises.
His spokesman said: We are committed to the Integrated Rail Plan, which delivers a high speed line and transport improvements across the North
He said: The line itself can deliver a 33-minute journey from Manchester to Leeds, quadruple nearly the capacity of that line, and do so without having to wait an extra 20 years beyond the delivery of what the upgrade can do.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNN57B - St Mary's Church is an Anglican parish church in Nantwich, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It has been called the Cathedral of South Cheshire and it is considered by some to be one of the finest medieval churches, not only in Cheshire, but in the whole of England. The architectural writer Raymond Richards described it as one of the great architectural treasures of Cheshire, and Alec Clifton-Taylor included it in his list of outstanding English parish churches.
The building dates from the 14th century, although a number of changes have since been made, particularly a substantial 19th-century restoration by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The church and its octagonal tower are built in red sandstone. Features of the church's interior include the lierne-vaulted ceiling of the choir, the carved stone canopies of the sedilia in the chancel, and the intricately carved wooden canopies over the choirstalls together with the 20 misericords at the back of the stalls. The church is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Nantwich

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNBY6G - The Silver Jubilee Bridge (originally the RuncornWidnes Bridge or informally the Runcorn Bridge) crosses the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal at Runcorn Gap between Runcorn and Widnes in Halton, England. It is a through arch bridge with a main arch span of 361 yards (330 m). It was opened in 1961 as a replacement for the Widnes-Runcorn Transporter Bridge. In 197577 the carriageway was widened, after which the bridge was given its official name in honour of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It carries the A533 road and a cantilevered footway. The bridge is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The bridge was closed to vehicles for refurbishment upon the opening of the new Mersey Gateway Bridge, but reopened as a toll bridge in February 2021
In 1977 the carriageway was widened by incorporating the footpaths, giving it four lanes, and a cantilevered foot-way was built on the east side of the bridge. This work was completed in 1977 and in that year the bridge was renamed from Runcorn Bridge to the Silver Jubilee Bridge to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee.
Since 1994 the bridge has been illuminated at night by floodlights. Repairs to chloride corrosion of the bridge's deck were carried out in the early 21st century using an innovative electrolytic method
they were shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Award for Better Public Building of 2010
Traffic on the bridge continued to grow to over 80,000 vehicles a day, and there was frequent congestion. In order to alleviate this, a further crossing was built, known as the Mersey Gateway Bridge. This is a six-lane toll bridge to the east of the Silver Jubilee Bridge that opened on 14 October 2017

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JN5MKA - St Peter's Church is in Eastgate Street in the centre of the city of Chester, Cheshire, England, immediately to the north of Chester Cross. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It is an active Church of England parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Chester. The ancient walls mark the boundaries of the parish.
The church stands on the site of part of the Roman Praetorium, and some of its fabric dates from that time. A church is said to have been built on this site by Ethelfleda in 907. The present church dates from the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, with modifications in the following three centuries. Formerly, the tower had a spire, which was removed and rebuilt in the 16th century, taken down in the 17th century, then rebuilt and finally removed having been much injured by lightning in around 1780. In 184950, the church was repaired by James Harrison, and in 1886 it was restored by John Douglas, which included the addition of a pyramidal spire.
Exterior
The church is built of red sandstone and is approximately square in plan. Its floor is at the level of the adjacent Watergate Row and the church is entered by a flight of seven stone steps on the south face. At the west end there is an embraced tower that rises one stage above the roof, with a clock and a bell opening of two lights. The top is crenellated, with crocketed pinnacles and a pyramidal slate spire

As well, the Grade I listed Church of St James includes a plaque to William Grevel, described as the flower of the wool merchants of all England. His home, the Grade I listed Grevel's House, was built c. 1380. It is not open to visitors. Chipping Campden is a market town in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It is notable for its terraced High Street, dating from the 14th century to the 17th century. (Chipping is from Old English cēping, 'market', 'market-place'
the same element is found in other towns such as Chipping Norton, Chipping Sodbury and Chipping (now High) Wycombe.)
A wool trading centre in the Middle Ages, Chipping Campden enjoyed the patronage of wealthy wool merchants, most notably William Greville (d.1401). The High Street is lined with buildings built from locally quarried oolitic limestone known as Cotswold stone, and boasts a wealth of vernacular architecture. Much of the town centre is a conservation area which has helped to preserve the original buildings. The town is an end point of the Cotswold Way, a 102-mile long-distance footpath.
Chipping Campden has hosted its own Olympic Games since 1612.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPDJJF - St Francis Xavier Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in the city centre of Hereford, Herefordshire. The neoclassical-style church was built in 1839 and was designated a Grade II* listed building on 10 June 1952. It is in the Hereford Deanery of the Archdiocese of Cardiff.
History
The foundation stone of St Francis Xavier's was laid 19 September 1837 and Queen Victoria sent her personal representative to the ceremony. The church was designed by Charles Day, an architect from Worcester, who also designed St Edmund's Church in Bury St Edmunds for the Jesuits. The building's construction cost over £16,000. It was opened on 7 August 1839, before the restoration of the English Catholic hierarchy in 1850, because of this, the church has no windows, fearing that any would be broken during the early 19th century. The church was built on the site of a chapel used by the Society of Jesus during the reformation, hence it was dedicated to St Francis Xavier, a Jesuit missionary from the 16th century who travelled to eastern and southern Asia. The Jesuits were in charge of the Catholic mission to Hereford from at least 1773 (when it was under the care of Dr John Butler, S.J.) to 1858. In 1858, the Benedictines created Belmont Abbey nearby. The church was handed over to them that year. It remained in their hands until 1954 when it was given over the Archdiocese of Cardiff. In 1992, administration of it reverted to the abbey.
The church contains a relic, the hand of St John Kemble a Catholic martyr, who was executed in nearby Widemarsh Common on 22 August 1679. He was beatified in 1929 by Pope Pius XI and canonized on 25 October 1970 by Pope Paul VI. His feast day is 22 August.
The exterior comprises columns and a frieze made of stucco. There is a dome at the back of the church. The front comprises two fluted Doric columns either side of the entrance. The interior is ornate with a decorated ceiling made of plaster. The church is lit by a lightwell.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHB70F - A hot cross bun is a spiced sweet bun usually made with fruit, marked with a cross on the top, and has been traditionally eaten on Good Friday in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, India, Pakistan and the United States. They are available all year round in some places, including the UK
The bun marks the end of the Christian season of Lent and different parts of the hot cross bun have a certain meaning, including the cross representing the crucifixion of Jesus, and the spices inside signifying the spices used to embalm him at his burial and may also include orange peel to reflect the bitterness of his time on the Cross
One theory is that the contemporary hot cross bun originates from St Albans, in England, where, in 1361, Brother Thomas Rodcliffe, a 14th-century monk at St Albans Abbey, developed a similar recipe called an 'Alban Bun' and distributed the bun to the local poor on Good Friday.
In 1592, during the reign of Elizabeth I of England, the London Clerk of Markets issued a decree forbidding the sale of hot cross buns and other spiced breads, except at burials, on Good Friday, or at Christmas. The punishment for transgressing the decree was forfeiture of all the forbidden product to the poor. As a result of this decree, hot cross buns at the time were primarily made in domestic kitchens. Further attempts to suppress the sale of these items took place during the reign of James I of England (16031625)
The traditional method for making the cross on top of the bun is to use shortcrust pastry, though some 21st century recipes recommended a paste of flour and water

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JCW1YR - Appleton Thorn village is the only village in England where the Bawming of the Thorn' ceremony takes place on the third Saturday of June each year.
The thorn tree, which stands beside the church, is believed to be an offshoot of the Glastonbury thorn, which grew from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea. Adam de Dutton, a knight of the Crusades and local landowner, brought it to Appleton.
Bawming, which means, decorating the tree with flowers and ribbons, has local children dancing and singing the Bawming song.
Not only does this day offer the local community something special to celebrate, but it also forms one of the main sources of fund raising for local projects that aid the community. In the past Bawming has been able to support:
St Cross Church
Appleton Thorn Village Choir

A puffin crossing with nearside signals in Aviemore
A staggered set of pelican crossings with farside signals in Greenwich
Pelican crossings, puffin crossings and pedex crossings are all types of controlled crossing controlled by traffic signals for pedestrians and drivers. These types of crossings can be used where vehicle speeds are high, where there are a lot of vulnerable pedestrians, where vehicle flows or pedestrian flows are high or where the road layout could cause uncertainty.
At these crossings, there will be at least two signal heads facing each direction of vehicular traffic, as well as signal heads and call buttons for pedestrians. The crossings can be staggered to shorten crossing times, mainly for the benefit of vehicular traffic flow.
While pelican crossings are no longer permitted to be installed in Great Britain (they are in Northern Ireland), pedex crossings allow the continued use of farside pedestrian signals

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAT318 - Warrington was founded by the Romans at an important crossing place on the River Mersey. A new settlement was established by the Saxons. By the Middle Ages, Warrington had emerged as a market town at the lowest bridging point of the river. A local tradition of textile and tool production dates from this time.
The modern Borough of Warrington was formed in 1974 with the amalgamation of the former County Borough of Warrington, part of the Golborne Urban District, the Lymm Urban District, part of the Runcorn Rural District, the Warrington Rural District and part of the Whiston Rural District.
The River Mersey runs through the heart of the town dividing it in two. There are only two main thoroughfares crossing the Mersey in Warrington: at Warrington Bridge at Bridge Foot and at the Kingsway Bridge. Before the M6 was built, these routes were very busy with through traffic.
The Manchester Ship Canal runs through the south of the town
three swing bridges and a high-level cantilever bridge provide crossing points. Although shipping movements on the ship canal are far less frequent than in years past, they can cause severe delay to local road traffic. The Bridgewater Canal runs through the borough from the village of Lymm to Walton Hall and Gardens, a local park/leisure area. The course of the Sankey Canal runs through the west of the town, although most of it is not suitable for navigation. More than 2,000 Warrington homes and businesses will benefit from the town's multi-million pound flood defence scheme, officially opened today (26 January 2018) by Environment Agency Chief Executive, Sir James Bevan and the town's Mayor, Councillor Les Morgan.
The scheme is one of the largest value flood defence projects constructed in the region in recent times, and will significantly reduce flood risk to the town which has been no stranger to flooding given it sits in naturally low-lying land and within the path of the River Mersey and its tributaries.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DPGJRC - Christ Church Cathedral, more formally The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, is the cathedral of the United Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough and the cathedral of the ecclesiastical province of the United Provinces of Dublin and Cashel in the (Anglican) Church of Ireland.[1] It is situated in Dublin, Ireland, and is the elder of the capital city's two medieval cathedrals, the other being St Patrick's Cathedral.
The cathedral was founded in the early 11th century under the Viking king Sitric Silkenbeard. It was rebuilt in stone in the late 12th century under the Norman potentate Strongbow, and considerably enlarged in the early 13th century, using Somerset stones and craftsmen. A partial collapse in the 16th century left it in poor shape and the building was extensively renovated and rebuilt in the late 19th century, giving it the form it has today, including the tower, flying buttresses, and distinctive covered footbridge. The cathedral was extensively renovated and rebuilt from 1871 to 1878 by George Edmund Street, with the sponsorship of distiller Henry Roe of Mount Anville. The great 14th-century choir was demolished and a new eastern end was built over the original crypt. He built a new chapter house. The tower was rebuilt. The south nave arcade was rebuilt. The flying buttresses were added as a decorative feature. The north porch was removed. The baptistry was built in its place.[7] Street built the adjacent Synod Hall, taking in the last remnant of St Michael and All Angels's Church, including the bell tower.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K43P0P - A 17 year old has been jailed for life after he battered another teenager to death.
Victim Stuart Lowe, 18, was killed in Warrington, in October, when Sibongiseni Majola struck him about the head with a screwdriver and kicked him while on the ground.
Stuart had suffered a massive brain injury and although he clung to life for seven days, he died a week later without regaining conciousness.
Yesterday, Majola, from Warrington, was sentenced to life behind bars, with a recommendation he serve at least 12 years before he can be considered for parole.
He had admitted murder last month at Chester crown court.
The court heard that joinery apprentice Stuart had gone to a party at The Bank Quay Social Club on October 17, last year.
It finished at 11pm and led to up to 100 young people, mostly students, milling around on the streets outside.
The mood began to change when football songs were chanted and witnesses report seeing fighting breaking out.
Majola and his friend were hit, and later claimed they had been subjected to racist comments.
The defendant left the scene in a friend's car and was dropped off at his home nearby.
But instead of staying there, he armed himself with a screwdriver, and headed back to Warrington town centre.
His friend, who had also armed himself with a shovel, joined him.
As they walked along Sankey Street they came across Stuart Lowe with his friends, making their way home.
Although Stuart was not involved in the initial fight, an altercation developed between the two groups, and Majola struck his head with the screwdriver.
Witnesses say Majola kicked Stuart as he lay on the floor before running off.
A 17-year-old, from Warrington, pleaded guilty to the possession of the shovel and affray and was jailed for 18 months.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DFEYYW - LS Lowry Artist. He was born in Stretford, Manchester,and was educated at the Victoria Park School, but did poorly there. In 1904, he began to work for a firm of accountants. However, his only real interest, since he was a child, had been drawing
so, in the same year, he began to attend night classes at the Manchester Municipal College of Art. In 1910, he joined the Pall Mall Property Company as a rent collector, and remained with them until 1952, by which time he had risen to the post of chief cashier. The fact that he had a nine to five job was never revealed until after his death, as he had a horror of being thought of as an amateur painter. His paintings of industrial scenes achieved extraordinary popularity, to the extent that, in 1967, his painting Children Coming Out Of School (1927) was used by the Royal Mail on a postage stamp. Lowry died of pneumonia at Woods Hospital in Glossop. He never married and is thought never to have had any love affairs. He left his entire estate to a girl named Carol Ann Lowry, who had written him a fan letter because she was pleased to discover that she shared the same name as such a famous painter.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BCTGY4 - It's been dubbed an unrepentant relic of yesteryear' - but fans of Stockport's Redrock development have come to its defence.
The sprawling complex has made the shortlist for Business Design magazine's Carbuncle Cup - the annual gong which is dished out in a bid to pinpoint Britain's worst building completed in the past 12 months'.
Many M.E.N readers have taken to social media to share their views about Redrock since the news was announced.
And while the majority thought the nomination was justified, with one commentator describing the imposing structure as a leaning Lego warehouse', others were quick to leap to its defence.

Although glowing praise for its exterior wasn't exactly forthcoming, many pointed out that it's what's on the inside that counts.
The £45m complex has a 10-screen cinema, restaurants, a bar, gym, large car park and public open space.
Michelle Ferris said: I love it! Best cinema!
Yvonne Brookes said: The cinema is fab. I won't go anywhere else now.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGKEYT - Bayer AG is a German multinational pharmaceutical and life sciences company and one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. Headquartered in Leverkusen, where its illuminated corporate logo, the Bayer cross, is a landmark, Bayer's areas of business include human and veterinary pharmaceuticals
consumer healthcare products
agricultural chemicals and biotechnology products
and high-value polymers. The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index. Werner Baumann has been CEO since 2016.
Founded in Barmen in 1863 as a dyestuffs factory, Bayer's first and best-known product was aspirin. In 1898 Bayer trademarked the name heroin for the drug diacetylmorphine and marketed it as a cough suppressant and non-addictive substitute for morphine until 1910. Bayer also introduced phenobarbital
prontosil, the first widely used antibiotic and the subject of the 1939 Nobel Prize in Medicine
the antibiotic Cipro (ciprofloxacin)
and Yaz (drospirenone) birth control pills.
In 1925 Bayer was one of six chemical companies that merged to form IG Farben, the world's largest chemical and pharmaceutical company. The Allied Control Council seized IG Farben after World War II, because of its role in the Nazi war effort and involvement in the Holocaust, which included using slave labour from concentration camps. It was split into its six constituent companies in 1951, then split again into three: BASF, Bayer and Hoechst.
Bayer played a key role in the Wirtschaftswunder in post-war West Germany, quickly regaining its position as one of the world's largest chemical and pharmaceutical corporations. In 2006 the company acquired Schering, in 2014 it acquired Merck & Co.'s consumer business, with brands such as Claritin, Coppertone and Dr. Scholl's, and in 2018 it acquired Monsanto, a leading producer of genetically engineered crops, for $63 billion. Bayer CropScience develops genetically modified crops and pesticides.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGGE55 - The Collegiate Church of St. Stephan, known in German as St. Stephan zu Mainz, is a Gothic hall collegiate church located in the German city of Mainz. It is known for windows created by Marc Chagall.
St. Stephan was originally built in 990 at the order of Archbishop Willigis, who also initiated the building of Mainz Cathedral. The church was founded on top of the highest hill in the town, most likely on behalf of Theophanu, the widow of Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor. Willigis intended the church to be a site of prayer for the Empire.
The provost of the Collegiate Church administered one of the archdiaconates (a medieval organizational form similar to today's diaconates) of the Archbishopric of Mainz.
The current church building dates from the late medieval era
construction of the main area of the church began in about 1267 and was completed in 1340. The successional building kept the guidelines of the floor plan of the original Willigis building and with it the design as a double choir church. St. Stephan is the oldest Gothic hall church in the Upper Rhine district, and is (besides Mainz Cathedral) the most important church in the city of Mainz.
View of the Gothic cloister of St. Stephan, rebuilt 1968-71 after heavy destruction in World War II
Only a few changes have been made to the church since the 14th century. The cloister, for instance, was added between 1462 and 1499 to the southern side of the church, and the outer face of the church was updated during the Baroque period. In 1857 a great explosion in a nearby powder magazine (Mainz was a federal fortress in the 19th century) destroyed the baroque facing of the church.
St. Stephan was heavily damaged in the cause of the bombing of Mainz in World War II. The cloister was heavily damaged and was rebuilt between 1968 and 1971
the restoration of the huge western belfry was also completed at that time, albeit with some difficulty.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H4EE2R - Sir Humphrey Chetham (10 July 1580 1653) was an English merchant, responsible for the creation of Chetham's Hospital and Chetham's Library, the oldest public library in the English-speaking world.
Chetham was born in Crumpsall, Lancashire, England, the son of a successful Manchester merchant who lived in Crumpsall Hall. He was educated at Manchester Grammar School, and in 1597 was apprenticed to Samuel Tipping, a Manchester linen draper. Chetham remained with Tipping until 1605, when he moved to London with his brother George and set up a partnership with him trading in various textiles. The business was successful, since the fabric was bought in London and sold for a higher price in Manchester. He acquired Clayton Hall in Manchester as his home, and in 1628 was also able to buy Turton Tower from William Orrell.
In 1631, he was asked to be knighted after his huge wealth became known to the crown, but he refused it, and so was fined. He later became the High Sheriff of Lancashire in 1635, a job he was unable to refuse, and in 1643 he was forced into the position of General Treasurer of Lancashire, which he found very difficult for his age. He also began to obtain debts, and he feared that on his death parliament would take his money. He therefore donated money to form a blue coat school for forty poor boys, which later became Chetham's Hospital and then Chetham's School of Music. He also left money to form the Chetham's Library, which included money to pay for the books. More libraries were constructed later on from this money.
After Chetham's death, at Clayton Hall, in 1653, the school and library opened. His contribution is commemorated by a statue and a window in Manchester Cathedral and by a statue and mural in Manchester Town Hall. By prior arrangement, Clayton Hall was left to the surviving nephew, George.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H8FJY5 - The Silver Jubilee Bridge or Runcorn Bridge crosses the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal at Runcorn Gap between Runcorn and Widnes in Halton, England. It is a through arch bridge with a main arch span of 361 yards (330 m).
It was opened in 1961 as a replacement for the Widnes-Runcorn Transporter Bridge, and was initially known simply as the Runcorn Bridge or RuncornWidnes Bridge. In 197577 it was widened, after which it was given its official name in honour of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It carries the A533 road and a cantilevered footway. The bridge is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GY08RX - St Wilfrid's Church is in Church Lane, Grappenhall, a village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth
The church is Norman in origin, built probably in the earlier part of the 12th century and completed about 1120. This was a small and simple church, consisting of a nave, chancel and, possibly, an apse. The foundations of this church were discovered during the 187374 restoration.
A chantry chapel was added by the Boydell family in 1334 in a position where the south aisle now stands. From 1529 the church was largely rebuilt in local sandstone. The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built. In 1539 the south aisle was added, which incorporated the Boydell chapel. The south porch was added in 1641 and at this time the west wall was strengthened. In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built. There was a more substantial restoration in 187374 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about £4,000

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DC5C - A Toby Jug - also sometimes known as a Fillpot (or Philpot) - is a pottery jug in the form of a seated person, or the head of a recognizable person (often an English king). Typically the seated figure is a heavy-set, jovial man holding a mug of beer in one hand and a pipe of tobacco in the other and wearing 18th century attire: a long coat and a tricorn hat. The tricorn hat forms a pouring spout, often with a removable lid, and a handle is attached at the rear. Jugs depicting just the head and shoulders of a figure are also referred to as Toby Jugs, although these should strictly be called Character Jugs

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DN6N7C - The Royal Exchange is a grade II listed building in Manchester, England. It is located in the city centre on the land bounded by St Ann's Square, Exchange Street, Market Street, Cross Street and Old Bank Street. The complex includes the Royal Exchange Theatre and the Royal Exchange Shopping Centre.
The Royal Exchange was heavily damaged in the Manchester Blitz and in the 1996 Manchester bombing. 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 cotton industry in Lancashire was served by the Manchester Royal Exchange which traded in spun yarn and finished goods throughout the world including Africa while the Liverpool Cotton Exchange traded in imported raw cotton. In the 18th century the trade was part of part the slave trade in which African slaves were transported to America where the cotton was grown and then exported to Liverpool where the raw cotton was sold.[2]
The first exchange opened in 1729 but closed by the end of the century. As the cotton industry boomed, the need for a new exchange was recognized. Thomas Harrison designed the new exchange of 1809 at the junction of Market Street and Exchange Street.[2] The expanding cotton industry required a larger building and its extension was completed in 1849. The second exchange was replaced, by a third exchange by Mills & Murgatroyd, constructed between 1867 and 1874. It was extended and modified by Bradshaw Gass & Hope between 1914 and 1931 to form the largest trading hall in England.
The trading hall had three domes and was double the size of the current hall. The colonnade parallel to Cross Street marked the its centre. On trading days merchants and brokers struck deals which supported the jobs of tens of thousands of textile workers in Manchester and the surrounding towns. Manchester's cotton dealers and manufactureres trading from the Royal Exchange earned the city the name, Cottonopolis

It was extended and modified by Bradshaw Gass & Hope between 1914 and 1931 to form the largest trading hall in England.
The trading hall had three domes and was double the size of the current hall. The colonnade parallel to Cross Street marked the its centre. On trading days merchants and brokers struck deals which supported the jobs of tens of thousands of textile workers in Manchester and the surrounding towns. Manchester's cotton dealers and manufactureres trading from the Royal Exchange earned the city the name, Cottonopolis

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

The deep yellow flowers are produced in spring, in clusters of 10-30 blooms together on a single stem. Each flower is 915 mm broad. Red- and orange-flowered plants occur rarely but can be locally widespread in areas where coloured primula hybrids bloom at the same time as the native cowslip enabling cross-pollination.

Are you a fan of Wildian campishness? August, always a mad busy crazy time in Edinburgh, during the festival and fringe, which seems to have grown even bigger than the tattoo and festival. If you can't catch any Oscar Wilde here, then we are in trouble...
As the blurb says:
An impertinent epilogue to 'The Importance Of Being Earnest' by Robin Johnson (the writer of Stitched Up).
'There are certain rules for surviving a drawing-room farce. Look over your plans for the next few days. If they are harebrained, reconsider. If a case of humourous mistaken identity arises, politely correct it before it gets out of hand. Resist the temptation to entrust any crucial task to a comic buffoon. Avoid the company of country vicars, austere aunts, village policemen and crossdressers. Do not pretend that a living person is dead or vice versa.'

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F0G7EN - Berlin Cathedral (German: Berliner Dom) is the short name for the Evangelical (i.e. Protestant) Supreme Parish and Collegiate Church (German: Oberpfarr- und Domkirche) in Berlin, Germany. It is located on Museum Island in the Mitte borough. The current building was finished in 1905 and is a main work of Historicist architecture of the Kaiserzeit.
The Dom is the parish church of the congregation Gemeinde der Oberpfarr- und Domkirche zu Berlin, a member of the umbrella organisation Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia. The Berlin Cathedral has never been a cathedral in the actual sense of that term since it has never been the seat of a bishop. The bishop of the Evangelical Church in Berlin-Brandenburg (under this name 19452003) is based at St. Mary's Church and Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Ronald James Padavona (July 10, 1942 \u2013 May 16, 2010), better known as Ronnie James Dio, was an American heavy metal vocalist and songwriter.
He performed with, amongst others, Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Heaven &
Hell, and his own band Dio. Other musical projects include the collective fundraiser Hear 'n Aid. He was widely hailed as one of the most powerful singers in heavy metal, renowned for his consistently powerful voice.
I only ever saw him on stage once, with Rainbow at Stafford's New Bingley Hall in about 1980.
He often ranks as one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time in various online polls and lists. He is credited with popularizing the 'metal horns' hand gesture in metal culture.
Prior to his death, he was collaborating on a project with former Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice, under the moniker Heaven &
Hell, whose only studio album, The Devil You Know, was released on April 28, 2009.
Dio sadly died of stomach cancer on May 16, 2010. One of the last songs he recorded was titled 'Metal Will Never Die'.
The Sandbach Crosses are two 9th-century stone Anglo-Saxon crosses now erected in the market place in the town of Sandbach, Cheshire, England. They are unusually large and elaborate examples of the type and have been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building, and are a scheduled monument.
The most recent and authoritative dating places the larger cross from the early part of the 9th century, and the smaller from about the middle of that century. Older theories, now outdated, included the view that they were erected to commemorate the conversion to Christianity of Peada of Mercia about 653.
Other sources date them to the 9th century. The original site of the crosses is unknown and it is believed that they were brought to Sandbach in the Middle Ages. The earliest documentary evidence is by William Smith, the Rouge-Dragon Pursuivant at Arms of Elizabeth I, who was from Nantwich.
In 1585 he wrote 'two square crosses of stone, on steps, with certain images and writings thereon graven [standing] hard together. Either after the Reformation or during the Civil War they were thrown down and their parts were scattered over a wide area.
Larger pieces of the crosses were found as far away as Oulton and Tarporley while smaller pieces were found on various sites in Sandbach. In the early 19th century they were collected together and in 1816 were reassembled and erected under the direction of George Ormerod, the Cheshire historian.
The crosses now consist of two upright columns set in sockets on a base of three stepped stones. The northern cross is the taller and has a mutilated head. The southern cross is truncated and has a mutilated head from a different cross.
The crosses have always been a pair and were carved by the same hand. They depict religious scenes, doll-like heads and beasts in panels, together with vine-scrolls, course interlace patterns and some dragons. Yep, here be dragons!

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7M9X - St Anne's Cathedral, also known as Belfast Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Church of Ireland in Donegall Street, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is unusual in serving two separate dioceses (Connor and Down and Dromore), yet being the seat of neither (it is geographically in the Diocese of Connor), it is therefore not a cathedral in the truest sense of the word, a cathedral being a church housing the seat of a bishop.[1] It is, however, titled as such. It is the focal point of the Cathedral Quarter, Belfast.
The first architect was Sir Thomas Drew, the foundation stone being laid on 6 September 1899 by the Countess of Shaftesbury. The old parish church of St Anne by Francis Hiorne of 1776 had continued in use, up until 31 December 1903, while the new cathedral was constructed around it
the old church was then demolished. The Good Samaritan window, to be seen in the sanctuary, is the only feature of the old church to be retained in the cathedral. Initially, only the nave of the cathedral was built, and this was consecrated on 2 June 1904.
In 1924 it was decided to build the west front of the cathedral as a memorial to the Ulstermen and women who had served and died in World War I. The foundation stone for this was laid by Governor of Northern Ireland, the Duke of Abercorn on 2 June 1925 and the completed facade, to an amended design by the architect Sir Charles Archibald Nicholson, was dedicated in June 1927.
In the meantime, the central crossing, in which the choir sits, was built between 1922 and 1924. The Baptistery, to plans drawn up by the late W H Lynn, who had assisted Sir Thomas Drew, was dedicated in 1928, and the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, with its beautiful mosaics depicting Saint Patrick, was dedicated on 5 July 1932, the 1500th anniversary of the arrival of St Patrick in Ireland.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Well its taken 90 shots before an excuse for a Primal Scream track.
Primal Scream date from 1982 back in Glasgow, Scotland. The band performed throughout 1982-1984, but their career did not take off until Bobby Gillespie left his position as drummer of The Jesus and Mary Chain. The band were a key part of the mid-1980s indie pop scene, but eventually moved away from their more jangly sound, taking on more psychedelic and then garage rock influences, before incorporating a dance music element to their sound.
The 1991 somewhat Acidhouse inspired album Screamadelica was the one that broke the band into the mainstream. It won the first Mercury Music Prize in 1992. Its best heard in its 2 x LP vinyl incarnation.
Bobby's school friend was Alan McGee, who took Gillespie to his first gig, a Thin Lizzy concert. McGee and Gillespie were heavily influenced by punk rock, and they joined a local punk band, The Drains, in 1978. McGee soon moved south to London, Gillespie staying in SE Glasgow.
The band still tour and I have some shots from w=33062170@N08&

Screamadelica (go for the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) is an excellent starting point to get to know the band. Alternatively checkout the Dirty Hits compilation.

Perhaps prison is not the place to have a strong sex drive. Sex can be a terror. There could also me many straight / gay / homosexual predators wanting others. The lonely sometimes stray from their norm and be curious. Other times it may be for favours. More tabs, blow or less pain.
Pornography probably does not help either, maybe it makes it worse. Members of staff do have sex with inmates, some looking to be seduced, some seducing. Where a guard rapes or assaults a prisoner, the guard generally goes free and the prisoner is prosecuted as a pervert.
Tattoos can have special meanings in prison. A convicts skin canvass can say a lot about him and his history. Some are:

Eight Balls - Unlucky, IE behind the 8 ball

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WK8 - This photograph shows Dublin's iconic Ha'penny Bridge illuminated at night as it crosses the River Liffey in the heart of the Irish capital. Officially named the Liffey Bridge, the structure is universally known as the Ha'penny Bridge, a name derived from the halfpenny toll originally charged when the pedestrian bridge opened in 1816.
The image was taken during the evening, likely in the blue hour, when the deepening sky provides a dramatic backdrop to the warm artificial lighting along the bridge. Green and white illumination beneath the structure highlights its cast iron framework, while reflections shimmer across the calm surface of the River Liffey below, adding symmetry and atmosphere to the scene.
The Ha'penny Bridge connects the north and south sides of Dublin city centre and has long been a focal point for daily life, tourism, and cultural identity. Its elegant arches and decorative railings are among the most recognisable features of Dublin's streetscape, frequently photographed by visitors and locals alike.
Images such as this are widely used to represent Dublin as a vibrant European capital, illustrating themes of historic infrastructure, urban heritage, night-time city life, travel, and the enduring relationship between the city and the River Liffey

A great summer track for a Saturday with the sun flooding through my front window.
This is the eleventh track on the compilation 'Melting Pot'. I pass the cafe on the cover of this album most lunchtimes when I go into Northwich. It looks slightly different now after a recent paint &
decoration job. A few years ago I had the pleasure of having some of my framed live shots on the walls there.
The band consists of Northwich lad Tim Burgess (vox), Mark Collins (guitar), Martin Blunt (bass), Tony Rogers (keyboards) and Jon Brookes (drums and percussion). Northwich is the home of the band's own original 'Dead Dead Good Records' label and have inspired many local musicians.
the Charlatans are back in the studio to work on their eleventh album planned for release in August 2010. This also coincides with twentieth anniversary of the band's debut album, Some Friendly. The album is due for re-issue with bonus material, and an extensive UK tour for both the re-issue and new album launch is due to take place to support these releases.
If you have not heard them before, checkout 'Melting Pot' to be rewarded :-)

?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Todays first track up on my Ipod shuffle was this one. Its is the first in my new set that hopefully will marry up some of my listening habits with some of my photographic ones!
I dont have chance to 'shuffle' every day, so unfortunately it wont be one a day, but do keep up if you can!
Salford Northern Soul club night DJ Ian Brown and animator John Squire were the hub of this band. A bit of a soundtrack to my own Madchester days back in the late 1980's. Blimey I must have spent a fortune in Aflecks Palace on dodgy Harris Tweed Jackets (check the Orb) and silk ties.
The brilliant first seminal album and the wrangling later with the Silvertone label is legendary. The Second Coming was good, but those four years delay took their toll. Ian Brown, now into his 10th solo album has gone on to better things including the 'Q Awards Legend Award' in 2007.
His 2001 track 'Fear' is one of my favourites. Apparently inspired by Malcolm X and his preaching of 'control through language', each line contains an acronym from the word 'fear'. EG 'Fallen empires are ruling'. Grab a listen here.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4760224848 - 'The history of smoking can be dated to as early as 5000 BC, and has been recorded in many different cultures across the world. Early smoking evolved in association with religious ceremonies
as offerings to deities, in cleansing rituals or to allow shamans and priests to alter their minds for purposes of divination or spiritual enlightenment.
After the European exploration and conquest of the Americas, the practice of smoking tobacco quickly spread to the rest of the world. In regions like India and Subsaharan Africa, it merged with existing practices of smoking (mostly of cannabis). In Europe, it introduced a new type of social activity and a form of drug intake which previously had been unknown.
Perception surrounding smoking has varied over time and from one place to another
holy and sinful, sophisticated and vulgar, a panacea and deadly health hazard. Only relatively recently, and primarily in industrialized Western countries, has smoking come to be viewed in a decidedly negative light.
Today medical studies have proven that smoking tobacco is among the leading causes of many diseases such as lung cancer, heart attacks, erectile dysfunction and can also lead to birth defects. The inherent health hazards of smoking have caused many countries to institute high taxes on tobacco products and anti-smoking campaigns are launched every year in an attempt to curb tobacco smoking.
Due to the smoking ban in pubs and other public places, many businesses are suffering. Only last week a news item suggested 'Expectant mothers to be given smoking breath tests: Health watchdog tells midwives to challenge all pregnant women' in the UK Daily Mail which stated:
'Last night midwives reacted with fury to the guidance - saying the tests could undermine trust by forcing them virtually to accuse new mothers of lying.
And critics rounded on NICE, which was set up by Labour to assess which drugs and treatments should be available on the NHS, accusing it straying beyond its remit by seeking to influence yet more aspects of people's lives.
Strange that the Daily Mail still managed to blame Labour for the advice although we have now had a collonic Government of Tories and Libdems for the last two months around here. Still if encouraging mothers to give up for the sake of the health of their offspring, can that be so bad. Nothing says they cannot spark up again if really desperate after giving birth, does it?

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4714928394 - 'The Celtic cross is a symbol that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection.
In the Celtic Christian world it was combined with the Christian cross and this design was often used for high crosses. These are free-standing crosses made of stone and often richly decorated.
With the Celtic Revival, the shape, usually decorated with interlace and other motifs from Insular art, became popular for funerary monuments and other uses, and has remained so, spreading well beyond the British Isles.
It is popular in Cornwall where an individual feeling of ancient culture lives on, as can be seen in the Barnoon cemetary here, which overlooks the St Ives surfing beach of Porthmeor.
In Celtic regions of Ireland and later in Great Britain, many free-standing upright crosses or high crosses were erected by Irish monks, beginning at least as early as the 7th century. Some of these 'Celtic' crosses bear inscriptions in runes. There are surviving free-standing crosses in Cornwall (famously St Piran's cross at Perranporth) and Wales, on the island of Iona and in the Hebrides, as well as the many in Ireland. Other stone crosses are found in the former Northumbria and Scotland, and further south in England.
Due to its simplicity as a symboil, in Germany, the Celtic cross was adopted by a prohibited neo-Nazi party (VSBD/PdA) leading to the ban of the symbol.

Line up, put your kisses down

Stand up, there's a head count
President Gas on everything but roller skates
It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes just to check that you're asleep again
President Gas is President Gas again
He comes in from the left sometimes
He comes in from the right
It's so heavily advertised that he wants you and I
It's a real cowboy set, electric company
Every day is happy days
It's hell without the sin, but
This old track from the The Psychedelic Furs, President Gas usually comes to mind when I am doing my civic duty every three to four years.
The Furs were an act spawned from the British punk rock scene. Originally RKO,' then 'Radio' and for a while 'The Europeans'. Built around singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim Butler on bass guitar. The classic first album was a Steve Lillywhite production.
The band recorded their 1983 album, Forever Now, with producer Todd Rundgren in Woodstock, New York. In 1986 when movie director/writer John Hughes borrowed their song title 'Pretty in Pink' for his movie of the same name. A newly-recorded version of the song became the Psychedlic Furs' biggest hit to that time. 'Heartbreak Beat' from the 1987 album 'Midnight To Midnight', was to be the Furs' biggest top 40 entry in the US.
The band split in the early 1990s, with the Butler brothers going on to found Love Spit Love. In 2000, 'Beautiful Chaos: Greatest Hits Live' was released to plug the gap of the missing live album. In my opinion, the BBC in concert bootlegs of 1982 &
1984 are better encapsulations of the band live. I saw them at the Royal Court in Liverpool that latter year.
A UK reunion tour was pencilled in last year including a manchester academy date, but this was unfortunately cancelled. earlier dates in the USA went ahead and a recording of 17/09/2009 in San Francisco that can be found on the web sounds like a band on top form.
Fingers crossed I may manage to see them again soon!

A buttercross (as seen here), also known as butter cross, is a type of market cross associated with English market towns, such as Witney and dating from medieval times. Its name originates from the fact that they were located at the market place (same as today), where people from neighbouring villages would gather to buy locally produced butter, milk and eggs. The fresh produce was laid out and displayed on the circular stepped bases of the cross.
Their design varies from place to place, but they are usually covered by some type of roof to offer shelter, although the roofs were mostly added at a much later date than the original cross they cover.
Witney Market began in the Middle Ages. Thursday is the traditional market day and I have spent some interesting lunchtimes here. There is also a market on Saturday. The buttercross was built in about 1600 and its clock was added in 1683.
The town hall, here to the left of the shot is 18th century. Local legend holds that it was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, but this claim is unstantiated (a bit like how Mr Cameroooon is to slash UK debt, but not actually increase taxes).
A more credible claim is that Witney was the centre of blanket manufacture (which it was). In fact the local footy team (of which I have not actually seen, accompained by a pie at half time) Witney United FC retains its nickname 'The Blanketmen' from the town's traditional trade.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HD8R - The Tulip is native to the old world, southern europe right across to China and central asia.
Plants are perennials from bulbs and typically have two to six leaves. The cup shaped flowers typically have three petals and three sepals, which are most often termed 'tepals' because they are nearly indestinguishable.
The flowers have six stamens (yellow here) and the overies are three lobed. How nature likes threes eh?
Europians were taken by the spring flowers. Around 1634 to 1637, the early enthusiasm for the new tulips triggered a speculative frenzy now known as the 'tulip mania'. The tulip bulbs were then considered a form of currency. Not so far away from our own times when the 'dot com' boom and sub-prime lending, confirms we have actually not come that far from those heady days of dutch speculators over 450 years ago.
My advice, 'Buy Tulips' :-)

The beer festival is usually held around the May bank holiday over Friday until Sunday afternoon if the beer holds out. Phoenix (Oak Brewing Co.) Wobbly Bob usually is the ale that runs out first for good reason. Its a nice strong traditional english ale.
What a great idea mixing the ginger wine stuff with beer. I must admit I am a real ginger nut and a sucker for anything with stem or root ginger in it.

St Ives (Cornish: Porth Ia) is a seaside town, civil parish and port in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The town lies north of Penzance and west of Camborne on the coast of the Celtic Sea. In former times it was commercially dependent on fishing. The decline in fishing, however, caused a shift in commercial emphasis and the town is now primarily a popular holiday resort, notably achieving the award 'Best UK Seaside Town' from the British Travel Awards in both 2010 and 2011. St Ives was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1639. St Ives has become renowned for its number of artists. It was named best seaside town of 2007 by the Guardian newspaper.

Usually for victorians it was the theatre halls where entertainment was to be had, Doubtful if Lymm had one, although performances were regularly given by theatre troupes, ventriloquists, hypnotists, poets, comedians, choirs and orchestras. Entertainers like this may have travelled in with a circus when it came to town and set up in parks and public places.

The Merchant City is a district of the city of Glasgow. The area was first formed during the 18th century to house the wealthy merchant 'tobacco lords' who prospered shipping, amongst other things, tobacco, sugar and tea to the Clyde and fabricated goods to the Americas at this time many classical villas were built in the area. The name 'Merchant City' was coined during 1980's 'Glasgows Smiles Better' regeneration. Historically the area was called 'the tron' or 'cross' or simply by most Glaswegians 'the toun' or 'the town'. An annual Merchant City Festival takes place around the last week of September attracting tens of thousands to the area with a multi-arts programme.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3078572654 - 'The Charlatans (or The Charlatans UK as american friends call them) live on stage at the Parr Hall Warrington Cheshire Monday 6th Oct 2008.
The Charlatans are the boyish Tim Burgess on vocals and lyrics, Mark Collins on guitar, Martin Blunt on bass, Tony Rogers on keyboards and Jon Brookes doing drums and percussion. Northwich is often cited as the bands town as Tim is from it and that is where Dead Dead Good Records was based.
Some of this success was instrumental in the formation of the Banned! Network who has promoted and assisted bands in the town since the early 1990's and for whom I have enjoyed covering gigs for over 15 years. The office can be seen here www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/3734237039/ ,a typical exciting gig here www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/3809817434/
This image will be one discussed at the Warrington District Camera Club Monday 12th October, 7.30pm meeting on the subject of 'Band Photography'

The infra-red effect occurs in the Fuji S7000 camera as a result of the Hoya R72 Infra red filter fitted on the front of the lens, using the adapter. The local independent shops of the village can be seen behind the cross.
The summer trees come up as light blue under the filter.
