Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FYW65P - . The exterior of Islamic Life, a Muslim lifestyle retailer on Wilmslow Road in the Rusholme district of Manchester, appears in a view across the street. The shop is located in the well-known Curry Mile retail area, a stretch associated with restaurants, food shops and services serving diverse communities. The photograph shows an active commercial frontage within a red-brick urban streetscape, with pedestrians and vehicles providing context for the busy mixed-use road. The store occupies a corner of a red-brick commercial building. Two green fascia panels bear white Islamic Life lettering, meeting at an angle where the frontage turns into the side street. Broad windows contain a display of goods and signs, with a person standing outside near the junction. A car is passing on the busy roadway, showing the shop as part of an active mixed-use area within a varied row of urban premises. Wilmslow Road through Rusholme is widely known as the Curry Mile because of its concentration of South Asian and Middle Eastern restaurants, food outlets and other businesses. The retail offer along the road extends beyond dining to clothing, household items, specialist services and religious or cultural products. An Islamic lifestyle retailer in this location sits within that diverse commercial environment. The green signage gives the façade a coherent visual identity and repeated branding across two elevations makes the business conspicuous to pedestrians approaching from either direction. The photograph brings together shop display, urban road traffic and the architectural form of an older brick corner block. Details such as separate upper-floor windows and surrounding brick courses help distinguish the shop unit from the building containing it. The words Islamic Life identify the retailer on its frontage, with the bold shop lettering placed above the ground-floor window display. The scene is about a clearly named city retailer and its streetscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FXKY1G - . An Islam Against Extremism information stall is pictured beside Wilmslow Road in Rusholme, Manchester. Its white pop-up canopy carries the words ISLAM AGAINST EXTREMISM and a website name across the roof edge. A large white and blue banner across the front of the table includes a message about the religion of Muhammad and Jesus and a rejection of extremism and violence. The canopy identifies the outreach organisation by name and website, and the front banner carries a message about Islam, Muhammad and the group's religious presentation. A car is parked beneath part of the structure, with other roadside activity and trees nearby. The display stands within the busy retail and restaurant corridor of Wilmslow Road in Rusholme. Leaflets and other material are arranged beneath the canopy. The stall stands in a paved roadside area with a dark parked car behind it, while trees and green foliage frame the scene. Rusholme's Wilmslow Road is a busy commercial corridor known as the Curry Mile. The small roadside outreach stall uses a peaked white canopy with blue-green edging. The word ISLAM and the website IslamAgainstExtremism.com appear prominently across its front, above a lower banner reading THE RELIGION OF NOUR, HUMANITY, MODESTY, JESUS & MUHAMMAD. Other religious and explanatory text is printed along the sides of the shelter. The stall is placed beside a pavement under trees, with a dark vehicle behind the display and foliage in autumn colours. This area of Manchester is recognised for its concentration of shops, restaurants and community organisations reflecting a broad range of cultural backgrounds. A folding table, printed panels and roadside placement characterise the scene as face-to-face religious information activity in a busy urban neighbourhood.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FXKY49 - . A daytime street view of Wilmslow Road on Manchester's Curry Mile shows a busy commercial stretch in Rusholme near its junction with Denison Street. An overhead decorative street banner dominates the centre of the composition, combining bright red, green and blue geometric panels with a written invitation to explore the area's food and retail businesses. The DENISON STREET name sign appears directly below the banner, providing a recognisable junction marker. Pedestrians walk along the pavements beneath a mixture of colourful retail signs and brick-fronted buildings. The premises include restaurants, takeaways and other businesses associated with the Curry Mile, while the upper façades, shop windows and contrasting building heights frame the view along the road. Wilmslow Road is a principal north-south route through Rusholme, linking this district with central Manchester and areas to the south. The Curry Mile is known for its concentration of South Asian and Middle Eastern restaurants, dessert outlets, food retailers and late-opening hospitality businesses. Its distinctive mixture of street-level commercial signage and decorative public-realm features reflects the area's established identity as a dining destination. The photograph has an elevated sightline along the pavements, placing the decorative banner and Denison Street marker in the foreground with more of the trading street receding into the distance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FXDRR5 - Wilmslow Road Curry Mile businesses and shopfronts in Rusholme. A row of brick-built shops and takeaway businesses lines the pavement along the Curry Mile. Retail posters, signs and people on the footway convey the busy commercial character of Wilmslow Road. The photograph depicts Wilmslow Road, Rusholme, Manchester, United Kingdom. A row of red-brick commercial premises on Wilmslow Road features a series of restaurant and takeaway fronts beneath first-floor windows. One prominent unit has Curry Mile signage, with coloured window posters and people walking on the pavement. Shop signs extend along the streetscape as the view looks down the busy road. Rusholme's Curry Mile is associated with food businesses and the cultural mix of South Manchester. The photograph captures everyday retail activity, takeaway frontage design, and the relationship between local restaurant businesses and pedestrian movement on Wilmslow Road. The street frontage is lined with close-set shops and food outlets, many identified by their own coloured advertising panels and window graphics. A green-arrow road marking or painted direction appears in the foreground, guiding traffic along Wilmslow Road. Several pedestrians walk beside the red-brick buildings and retail units. Rusholme's Curry Mile is well known for its dense concentration of restaurants, takeaways and late-opening businesses, making the scene valuable to local culture, city nightlife and ethnic food retail stories. The image documents the visual texture of the thoroughfare: repeated shop signs, mixed colour fronts, pedestrians and everyday pavement activity. Retail frontages sit shoulder to shoulder along the pavement, with each business using coloured signage and illuminated advertising to distinguish itself. The urban environment is defined by food businesses, mixed foot traffic and the continuous red-brick terrace. The street-level perspective communicates the dense restaurant and takeaway economy of Rusholme.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FX38NY - Chandni Jewellers shop window on Manchester Curry Mile. The photograph shows gold-coloured necklaces and jewellery beneath red shop sign. The subject is located at 139 Wilmslow Road, Rusholme, Manchester M14 5AW, England, UK. Chandni Jewellers' window displays gold-coloured necklaces and ornate sets on stands behind glass.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FWKKX2 - A vertical street banner attached to a lamp post uses the phrase Before you Rusholme, put your litter in the bin. The text appears in white on a dark field beneath a patterned design incorporating bright green and red sections and stylised litter symbols. Buildings and shopfronts stand behind the pole on a Manchester street. The wording is a local play on the name Rusholme and addresses people who use its busy streets and commercial areas. Public litter campaigns employ memorable slogans to encourage the use of bins and reduce waste left on pavements. Rusholme's concentration of takeaway restaurants and evening businesses gives a relevant setting for street cleanliness messaging. The campaign banner has a narrow vertical format suitable for attaching to a post at eye level. The text uses a pun on Rusholme, replacing the expected wording of a common phrase with the neighbourhood name. Its central instruction is short enough for somebody walking past to read quickly. The graphic of waste being placed in a bin reinforces the message for anyone who does not stop to inspect the text. The poster is part of the visible apparatus of local street management, alongside litter bins, pavements and street-cleaning activity. It connects a particular Manchester district with the broader problem of discarded food packaging and other everyday street waste. The banner is mounted high enough to be read above the immediate pavement clutter. The joke works only because the locality is Rusholme, which makes it an unusually place-specific anti-litter campaign. The visible illustration and text reinforce one another to encourage disposal of rubbish in public bins. The text is aligned in the lower portion of the banner beneath the decorative symbols, inviting people to identify the place name before reading the practical instruction. The wording directs passers-by to place their litter in a bin. The street banner connects the instruction specifically with Rusholme.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FWKM2T - A bright orange frontage identifies Chit n Chat Indian Street Food on Manchester's Curry Mile. Green lettering spells the business name above the entrance, while menu panels and food images are displayed near the open doorway. The restaurant occupies the ground floor of a brick street building. Rusholme is a well-known Manchester destination for South Asian food and a wide choice of independent dining businesses. Colourful fascias and illustrated menus compete for attention along the commercial street. The image documents Chit n Chat's branding, street-level food advertising and the mix of food-service premises that characterise the area. Street-food advertising, a visible menu and photographs of prepared dishes occupy the entrance beside the shop's name. The narrow entrance is flanked by illustrated menus and brightly printed graphics. The name is set in rounded green-and-white lettering against a saturated orange wall, making the business stand out among neighbouring units. The words Indian Street Food state what kind of food the outlet intends to sell, while a large food offer panel is visible near the doorway. Brick upper floors above the restaurant underline that the business occupies part of a traditional mixed-use street. The picture is a useful record of how a restaurant combines a distinctive name, colour scheme, menu photography and open access to reach people passing on foot. The food-panel graphics give a practical sense of what customers can buy without the need to enter. The red-brick upper part of the premises gives architectural context for the colourful ground-floor restaurant. The photograph is a useful example of the way individual food outlets distinguish their entrances along a busy strip of restaurants. Food photographs on the entrance graphics appear in bright contrasting colours, complementing the orange fascia and visually signalling cooked meals to pedestrians approaching from the street.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FWKM3C - Bright green and warm yellow-orange illuminated lettering spells Halal and Welcome against a dark window. Reflections of bare tree branches and outside daylight are visible in the glass. The colourful script is the clear subject, combining a food-related declaration with a welcoming greeting to customers. Halal is a term used for food and other practices permitted under Islamic rules. In a restaurant or takeaway window, a halal sign informs customers of the establishment's stated food provision. Rusholme's Curry Mile has a variety of South Asian, Middle Eastern and other food businesses. Neon-style lettering is also a form of urban commercial design, using light and colour to stand out from nearby premises. The sign has a strong contrast between bright tube-like lettering and almost black glass. A blue-green glow surrounds the word Halal while Welcome is drawn in an orange cursive style. The reflective surface allows the viewer to see the sky and bare branches outside without obscuring the main words. Instead of advertising a named dish, the lettering gives information about the food category and offers a greeting. The sign therefore serves a different purpose from a menu poster: it indicates hospitality and suitability to potential customers before they enter. Its placement on the Curry Mile gives a particular local context to the otherwise simple words. The word Halal appears on the upper line, visually separated from the cursive word Welcome below it. The colours make the two terms easy to distinguish at a glance. Reflections of the surrounding street are prominent enough to show that the lettering is installed on a real premises window. Branches and street reflections cross the illuminated lettering in the shop window. They introduce daylight and surrounding activity into a predominantly dark image of glowing letters. The illuminated letters sit behind reflective window glass. The shop window carries both the halal message and a welcome.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FWKM3N - The shop window of AL-NOOR JEWELLERS in Rusholme displays ornate gold-coloured necklaces and jewellery sets on cream bust stands. Large central pieces are surrounded by matching ornaments, with lighting and reflections visible across the glass. The business name appears above the display. The close composition emphasises intricate decoration, presentation and the visual abundance of jewellery offered for sale. Rusholme's Curry Mile is known for South Asian restaurants, food businesses and retail. Jewellery shops form part of that broader commercial environment, offering decorative pieces for gifts, celebrations and personal wear. The photograph documents display styling rather than the purity or price of any particular metal. It can illustrate gold jewellery retail, traditional decorative designs, small-business shop windows and South Asian-influenced high-street commerce in Manchester. Jewellery is arranged at different heights to give each large necklace a visible silhouette against the background. Matching earrings and coordinated ornaments appear beside the main pieces. The cream presentation stands make the yellow gold-coloured decoration stand out, while red fabric and warm lighting add contrast in the display. Reflective glass complicates the view in a way familiar from photographing urban shop windows. The words AL-NOOR JEWELLERS provide direct identification of the premises and the repeated ornamental forms emphasise the display's focus on elaborate sets rather than everyday plain bands. The photograph is a detailed record of the retail presentation of jewellery in an area known for culturally diverse businesses. The layered arrangements of chains and pendants dominate the image, with almost no empty window space. The display stands suggest the pieces are meant to be seen as complete sets. Photographing through reflective glass leaves both the merchandise and a suggestion of the surrounding street environment visible. The pieces hang in sets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FWKM7C - A prominent restaurant poster advertises karahi dishes at Sanam on Manchester's Curry Mile. The sign carries the Sanam name, the message NOW INTRODUCING KARAHI and the phrase THE TASTE OF LAHORE IN MANCHESTER. Photographs of several richly coloured cooked dishes fill the lower section. The material is mounted in a shopfront window, with reflections and nearby street detail on the glass. Karahi is a style of South Asian cooking associated with dishes prepared in a deep metal pan of the same name. Lahore is a major city in Pakistan and an important reference point for Punjabi food culture. Rusholme has a longstanding concentration of restaurants and eateries serving Pakistani, Indian and other cuisines. The image is relevant to restaurant marketing, food photography, South Asian dining, culinary identity and independent hospitality businesses. Four food photographs arranged along the lower part of the poster show different dishes with rich red, orange and brown sauces. Large black block lettering gives the name KARAHI greater prominence than the surrounding detail. The upper part of the poster contains Sanam's circular logo and smaller lines explaining the launch. The phrase taste of Lahore explicitly links the restaurant's offer to a city with a strong food identity. This visual language is directed towards people walking past the restaurant who might recognise the dish or be tempted by the food imagery. Karahi dishes take their name from the deep cooking vessel associated with their preparation. Lahore is a major Pakistani city with a strong culinary reputation, so the wording 'The Taste of Lahore in Manchester' invokes a recognisable regional food tradition. The poster photographs show prepared portions of food with different sauces, creating an immediate visual reference for customers walking past the window. The advertisement links Sanam's identity on Manchester's Curry Mile with the promotion of a particular style of Pakistani cooking.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T10DPJ - H.M.Pasties was set up by Lee Wakeham, an ex-offender with the aim to bring out the good inside' by employing ex-offenders to make and sell delicious handmade Cornish-style pasties.
Inspired by the success of Bad Boys Bakery, The Barker Baker and the Clink Charity
who now boast a 41% reduction in reoffending for people involved in the bakery, H.M.Pasties was born in 2018 with support from the Big Lottery Fund, Forward Trust and the Santander Foundation.
With over 10.5 million people in the UK holding a criminal record many face huge difficulties in gaining employment post sentence due to the stigma that surrounds it.
H.M.Pasties wants to stop talent and lives from being wasted. They are passionate about helping those who feel left behind to find fulfilling work in order to enhance their wellbeing and help them feel part of a thriving local community. By offering a transitional employment programme which provides training and support ex-offenders can become ready for the world of work, making long term employment a reality.
H.M.Pasties was created to supply high quality, handmade traditional pasties and other baked goods to customers across Greater Manchester and add real social benefit.
This is achieved by not only sourcing ingredients from the Prison Estate but also by employing people with convictions in the manufacture, sales and distribution of the pasties whilst simultaneously offering peer mentoring support to enable them to build new careers and live a life free of crime.
In order to become a truly independent, self sustaining business, HM Pasties is now a stand alone limited company looking to build on our now established brand to create even more social impact.
Dignity, self-respect and a stable income are crucial to preventing reoffending, and securing employment is the key to achieving those goals.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R39XY3 - Brick Lane (Bengali: ব্রিক লেন) is a famous street in the East End of London, in the borough of Tower Hamlets. It runs from Swanfield Street in Bethnal Green in the north, crosses the Bethnal Green Road before reaching the busiest, most commercially active part which runs through Spitalfields, or along its eastern edge. Brick Lane's southern end is connected to Whitechapel High Street by a short extension called Osborn Street.
Today, it is the heart of the country's Bangladeshi community with the vicinity known to some as Banglatown. It is famous for its many curry houses
The street was formerly known as Whitechapel Lane, and wound through fields. It derives its current name from brick and tile manufacture started in the 15th century, which used the local brick earth deposits
In the 19th century, Irish people and Ashkenazi Jews immigrated to the area. Jewish immigration continued into the early 20th century.
In the 20th century the Brick Lane area was important in the second wave of development of Anglo-Indian cuisine, as families from countries such as Bangladesh (mainly the Greater Sylhet region) migrated to London to look for work. Some curry houses of Brick Lane do not sell alcoholic beverages, for most are owned by Muslims. According to EasyJet Traveller magazine, the top three curry houses on Brick Lane in 2021 are Aladin, Sheba and City Spice.
Bengalis in the United Kingdom settled in big cities with industrial employment. In London, many settled in the East End. For centuries the East End has been the first port of call for many immigrants working in the docks and shipping from Chittagong port in Bengal

The modern context includes continuing discussion of housing pressure, mixed-use development and how former industrial land is turned into leisure, retail and cultural space. For current editorial use, embodied carbon and manufacturing decline provide additional context, especially through recording the industries and transport systems that shaped British towns. Future viewers can use this scene from Kings Cross, Coal Drops Yard, London, England, UK to compare street furniture and boundaries with whatever follows after changing commercial priorities.

Another strand within the photograph is nutrition and how food signs and shopfronts become part of urban cultural identity when considered against later change at 5 Stable St, borough of Camden,London, England, UK, N1C 4AB.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ADR2BB - If you're looking for some festive cheer, Manchester plays host to one of the biggest and best Christmas Sehenswürdigkeiten outside of Germany, with more than 300 wooden chalets spread across 10 different locations throughout the city.
Originally introduced to the city in 1999, the Christmas markets have grown bigger and better each year, attracting Europe's finest street food vendors and crafters. It's a great place to buy Yuletide gifts, such as fine jewellery, handcrafted leather bags and artisan soaps. Your taste buds will also be tantalised with so many wide ranging food options on offer, including things like German bratwurst, hog roast, Spanish paella and Dutch pancakes. Yum!
Thought Christmas markets were just for December? This year the Christmas Markets will open in November in Manchester city centre, so there's plenty of time to don your best Christmas jumper, drink mulled wine and chow down on pretzels.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F1JA8C - Pan Am Flight 103 was a regularly scheduled Pan Am transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit, via London and New York, that was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on Wednesday, 21 December 1988, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew on board, in what became known as the Lockerbie bombing. Large sections of the aircraft crashed onto residential areas of Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 11 more people on the ground.
Following a three-year joint investigation by Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrest warrants were issued for two Libyan nationals in November 1991. In 1999, Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi handed over the two men for trial at Camp Zeist, Netherlands after protracted negotiations and UN sanctions. In 2001, Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was jailed for life after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder in connection with the bombing. In August 2009, he was released by the Scottish Government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in May 2012, remaining the only person to be convicted for the attack. He had continually protested his innocence.
In 2003, Gaddafi accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the families of the victims, although he maintained that he had never given the order for the attack. During the Libyan Civil War, in 2011, a former government official claimed that the Libyan leader had personally ordered the bombing. Numerous conspiracy theories have developed regarding responsibility for the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4756843521 - 'When backpacking around various places in my mis-spent youth I often used the Lonely Planet guides. Great guides, but when travelling you were never alone really as whatever off the beaten track cafe you were eating BBQ guinea pig or whtever, you were always surrounded by other backpackers planning their next meal using that self same guide!
The name Lonely Planet to me conjours up an idea of this packed green and blue rock surrounded by some unimaginable emptyness. There is so much of it that the light-year, ie the time it takes light or an image to be seen a year later away, is the only practical unit of measurement to be used.
To get a feel for these distances, reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface takes 1.2\u20131.3 seconds to travel the distance to the Earth's surface for us to see it. The surface of the moon is roughly 376,300 kilometres from the surface of the Earth, on average. 376,300 km \u00f7 300,000 km/s (roughly the speed of light) \u2248 1.25 seconds).
The most distant space probe, Voyager 1, was about 14 light-hours away from Earth as of 9 March 2007 (2007 -03-09)[update]. It took that space probe 30 years to cover that distance,[17] and will take over 18,000 years to reach one light-year at the same speed.
The nearest known star (other than the Sun), Proxima Centauri, is about 4.22 light-years away. Our galaxy, The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across.
So for any intelligent life form in the solar system of Proxima Centauri, excitement must be building for the 2006 world cup, where hopes are pinned on a very young Wayne Rooney to come good for England and for Sven-Goran Eriksson to continue as coach onward to 2010.
Its a funny old world eh? When you consider, this isn't too bad a place after all. Good planets are hard to find, lets look after this one!
