Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ENF1NY - Landscape panoramic view of the outdoor terrace at V&A Dundee on Dundee Waterfront, Scotland, showing visitors and tourists relaxing beside the River Tay under dramatic summer cloud and blue sky. The large wall text reads Be open to the joy you deserve , giving the photograph a strong wellbeing, leisure and positive travel message as people sit along the museum's riverside edge. The image combines contemporary architecture, public space, visitor experience and waterside scenery, making it useful for editorial and commercial themes around Scottish tourism, cultural destinations, museum visits, design-led regeneration, waterfront renewal, wellbeing, relaxation, day trips and accessible public realm. V&A Dundee is Scotland's design museum, located at 1 Riverside Esplanade on the city's regenerated waterfront, and was designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. The building has become one of Dundee's most recognisable modern landmarks, close to the River Tay, Dundee railway station, Discovery Point and the central waterfront area. The wide view shows the grey external wall of the museum, sheltered seating area, riverside paving, railings, foreshore, open water, distant Tay Road Bridge and a broad skyscape that adds depth and atmosphere. The scene suggests a calm, mild day, probably in spring or summer, with visitors taking time out to enjoy the view rather than rushing through a formal attraction. It can support stories about museums as civic spaces, the value of free cultural venues, urban design, leisure tourism, Dundee's post-industrial waterfront transformation, Scotland's creative economy and the appeal of open-air spaces attached to major visitor attractions. The inspirational slogan also gives the image potential for features on mental wellbeing, slow travel, personal reflection, inclusive culture, public seating, visitor comfort and the way architecture can frame everyday moments of rest, conversation and looking out across water.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ERK5WB - . V&A Dundee interior viewed from an upper level with timber stairs and public spaces in Dundee, Scotland, UK. Photographed on 10 June 2026. The recorded location is V&A Dundee, 1 Riverside Esplanade, Dundee DD1 4EZ, Scotland, UK. The elevated perspective looks across and down through the museum's dramatic central circulation area, where layered timber cladding, angular balconies, glass balustrades and open voids create a complex contemporary interior. Visitors and furniture are visible below, giving a sense of scale and everyday use. The viewpoint emphasises the museum's sculptural internal geometry. V&A Dundee opened in 2018 as Scotland's first dedicated design museum and the first V&A museum outside London. Designed by Kengo Kuma and inspired by Scotland's east-coast cliffs, it became a centrepiece of Dundee's waterfront regeneration beside the restored RRS Discovery. In relation to heritage attraction, historical context shows that libraries, museums and archives developed as civic institutions for preserving knowledge, objects and local records
Reading rooms, catalogues and display cases reveal how public access to information changed before digitisation transformed research. For the story of property, it is useful to note that buildings are often the most durable evidence of former institutions and businesses
Brickwork, stonework, windows, entrances and signs can survive changes of ownership or use, allowing photography to document architectural style as well as the evolution of a street or district. As of 2026, the position for heritage attraction is that libraries and museums continue to operate as community hubs, visitor attractions and sources of digital access, while funding pressures encourage partnerships, volunteering and new uses for historic buildings. For present-day property, 2026 is significant because current planning debates place growing emphasis on housing delivery, retrofit, accessibility and the reuse of brownfield sites.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ERK5YB - . V&A Dundee design gallery interior with museum displays and exhibits in Dundee, Scotland, UK. Photographed on 10 June 2026. The recorded location is V&A Dundee, 1 Riverside Esplanade, Dundee DD1 4EZ, Scotland, UK. Warm directional lighting illuminates display cases, furniture, objects, wall panels and interpretive graphics in a carefully designed exhibition space. The gallery demonstrates the museum's focus on Scottish and international design and provides visitors with an immersive cultural experience. The contrasting dark walls, timber surfaces and brightly lit objects create a polished exhibition atmosphere. V&A Dundee opened in 2018 as Scotland's first dedicated design museum and the first V&A museum outside London. Designed by Kengo Kuma and inspired by Scotland's east-coast cliffs, it became a centrepiece of Dundee's waterfront regeneration beside the restored RRS Discovery. Within the history of local history, public libraries expanded during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as part of civic education, later adding computers, events and digital services while retaining their role as shared community space. Against the 2026 backdrop for local history, digitisation has changed research but has not removed the need for physical archives and collections. institutions increasingly combine online access with conservation of original material and renewed interest in local history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ERK5YM - . V&A Dundee interior with timber-lined stairs, glass walls and visitors in Dundee, Scotland, UK. Photographed on 10 June 2026. The recorded location is V&A Dundee, 1 Riverside Esplanade, Dundee DD1 4EZ, Scotland, UK. The striking contemporary space combines warm horizontal timber slats, angular staircases, glazed balustrades and large open circulation areas beneath the museum's dramatic architecture. Visitors move through the public areas and shop or cafe spaces on the lower level. The dynamic arrangement of wood, glass and concrete reflects the distinctive interior character of Scotland's design museum. V&A Dundee opened in 2018 as Scotland's first dedicated design museum and the first V&A museum outside London. Designed by Kengo Kuma and inspired by Scotland's east-coast cliffs, it became a centrepiece of Dundee's waterfront regeneration beside the restored RRS Discovery. The background to reading room is that museums turn objects into interpreted history, while archives preserve documents that may have little value until researchers connect them with people, buildings or events
Interiors therefore record both collections and changing curatorial practice. Within the history of heritage building, the built environment is continually reused
Warehouses become apartments, stations become event spaces and commercial premises acquire new occupants, making older photographs particularly valuable for tracing regeneration, demolition, conservation and adaptive reuse. Current 2026 context around reading room is that libraries and museums continue to operate as community hubs, visitor attractions and sources of digital access, while funding pressures encourage partnerships, volunteering and new uses for historic buildings. Against the 2026 backdrop for heritage building, current planning debates place growing emphasis on housing delivery, retrofit, accessibility and the reuse of brownfield sites

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

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJ11MB - . Sound Leisure Soundliner classic jukebox top and record-selection mechanism, Leeds, England, UK. Photographed on 16 May 2026. The recorded location is Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, UK. The close view shows the illuminated HI-FIDELITY SELECTIONS panel and internal mechanism of a traditional-style jukebox made by the long-established British manufacturer Sound Leisure. Sound Leisure is associated with modern production of classic-style jukeboxes using contemporary engineering while retaining the visual appeal and mechanical fascination of earlier machines. Looking at vintage audio, the longer history is that music technology changed from mechanical instruments and analogue magnetic tape to digital files and streaming
Jukeboxes, reel-to-reel recorders and organ mechanisms make that history visible through buttons, reels, valves, motors and physical media. The background to printed circuit board is that printed circuit boards transformed electronics by replacing much hand wiring with compact, repeatable assemblies
Resistors, capacitors and transistors became the standard building blocks of domestic appliances, communications and computing. In 2026, vintage audio remains relevant because historic instruments and analogue audio equipment remain relevant to debates about preservation, repair skills and the distinctive sound and tactile experience of pre-digital music technology. Current 2026 context around printed circuit board is that electronics are increasingly miniaturised and integrated, while right-to-repair and electronic waste have increased interest in the components hidden inside appliances and devices.

The artwork uses bold black steel lettering, visible rivets and a robust engineering look to spell MCR , the familiar shorthand for Manchester, creating a modern city welcome sign that deliberately echoes the city's railway, manufacturing, engineering, cotton, warehouse and industrial heritage. Network Rail announced the 8-foot light-up sculpture in March 2025, describing it as a new artwork outside the station taxi rank on Fairfield Street to welcome passengers in and out of the city while also forming part of a wider project to protect busy pedestrian areas from vehicles. This photograph is useful for editorial and commercial searches about Manchester Piccadilly, MCR sign, MCR sculpture, Manchester public art, station entrance, Metrolink interchange, city branding, railway travel, tram travel, public realm, station security, hostile vehicle mitigation, protective street furniture, transport infrastructure, urban regeneration, industrial design and arrival in Manchester. The scene can illustrate stories about Piccadilly as Manchester's main railway gateway, city centre tourism, transport hubs, rail passengers, commuter journeys, public safety, civic identity, northern England, modern Manchester and the reuse of industrial visual language in contemporary placemaking. The reflective glass, pedestrians, taxi-rank setting, sunny daylight and oversized letters make the image suitable for travel guides, local news, transport features, architecture blogs, urban design reports, tourism marketing and stock photo buyers needing a recognisable Manchester city centre landmark. The sculpture works as both a photo opportunity and a symbolic threshold between station, street, tram, taxi, city centre and the wider Manchester story

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4M23 - Colourful wall display of brewery beermats inside Cask at New Islington Marina on the Ancoats and New Islington border in Manchester. The tightly arranged collection includes circular, square and irregularly shaped mats advertising real ale, craft beer, stout, bitter, pale ale and India pale ale from independent breweries. Visible designs use bold typography, illustrated animals, abstract artwork, traditional crests and contemporary branding, creating a visual record of northern beer culture.
Cask is an independent canalside bar at Cotton Field Wharf, known for a broad selection of cask-conditioned ale, keg beer, cider and bottled or canned craft products. CAMRA lists the venue as serving real ale and real cider, while local guides describe a rotating range supplied through handpumps, guest taps and refrigerated cabinets. Its position beside New Islington Marina places it within an area of east Manchester transformed from former industrial land into apartments, waterside paths, restaurants and leisure businesses.
Beermats began as absorbent coasters protecting tables from condensation and spills, but they also became inexpensive advertising tools and collectable examples of commercial design. This display combines traditional pub ephemera with the colourful visual language used by newer breweries to distinguish specialist beer styles and limited releases. Names and designs associated with DEYA, Track, Marble, Manchester Union and Brew York can be seen among many other changing labels.
The photograph suits editorial themes involving CAMRA, cask ale, independent pubs, brewery marketing, graphic design, beer tourism, urban regeneration and Manchester nightlife. It shows how specialist bars support regional producers and offer drinkers a choice beyond mass-market lager. The dense arrangement of promotional mats conveys variety, experimentation and the social history of drinking while documenting a distinctive feature inside a popular Ancoats beer venue

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFHRR1 - Vintage Subbuteo advertising artwork showing a green product box beside a black and white football match illustration, with a goalkeeper saving at the feet of an attacking player and the slogan Just flick to kick! The design promotes Subbuteo, the classic tabletop football game in which miniature players are flicked across a cloth pitch to pass, shoot, defend and score. The wording New for added realism and Subbuteo incorporating five-a-side gives the image strong relevance for collectors, toy historians, football nostalgia, retro advertising and British popular culture. Subbuteo was created by Peter Adolph in the 1940s, with early sets using simple goals, a ball and flat cardboard players on weighted bases, before the game became a fixture of British childhoods, bedrooms, clubs and Christmas presents. This image captures the graphic language of mid twentieth century toy promotion: limited colours, dramatic action, simplified footballers, sharp typography and a small model figure suggesting how the game worked. The green box panel, referee figure, goalkeeper pose, stylised crowd and printed football scene evoke a pre-digital era when sporting imagination was built around hands-on skill, dexterity, patience and tabletop tactics. The advert is commercially useful for editorial features on Subbuteo collecting, vintage football toys, retro board games, tabletop games, football memorabilia, toy packaging, British design, childhood nostalgia, model footballers, sports marketing and the appeal of football away from the stadium. It also suits stories about analogue play before video games, the survival of classic toy brands, football fandom in domestic spaces, and collector interest in boxed Subbuteo sets, accessories, teams, pitches and advertising ephemera. Visible text includes NEW , for added realism , JUST FLICK TO KICK! , BY SUBBUTEO and incorporating five-a-side , all useful for picture researchers seeking authentic vintage Subbuteo material.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T35BXP - 124 Horseferry Road is the Grade II listed headquarters for the British television broadcaster, Channel 4. It is located in the City of Westminster, London and includes 100 residential apartments. The building was opened on 6 July 1994 and was designed by Richard Rogers and Partners.
After a selection process during the autumn of 1990, Channel 4 invited three architectural firms to take part in a competition to design their 15,000 m2 (160,000 sq ft) headquarters building on the south-eastern corner of Chadwick Street and Horseferry Road in a mixed development area of Westminster. The site consisted of an abandoned 10 m (33 ft) deep basement of a proposed 1970s post office building. The architectural brief also incorporated a requirement for a residential development of two blocks of flats including 100 apartments, an underground car park and a small public landscaped park. The three firms chosen were Bennetts Associates, Richard Rogers and Partners and James Stirling.
The Richard Rogers Partnership was chosen from the shortlist. This was the first major building that they had designed since the Lloyd's building (1978-1986). Construction began in 1990 and was completed in 1994. It was built on a design and build basis. The building consists of two four-storey office blocks that are connected to a central entrance block in an L shape. The entrance has a concave glazed wall. The building is finished in grey steel cladding, which is perforated by red-ochre steel struts. John Young, the project architect, said that the colour was taken from a paint sample provided by the City of San Francisco: it is the same colour as the Golden Gate Bridge.
The building was listed at Grade II by Historic England on 23 March 2023

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YHH - St Mary's Church is in Church End in the village of Hale, Halton, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1] It is an active Anglican church in the deanery of Widnes, the archdeaconry of Warrington and the diocese of Liverpool.
The tower dates from the 14th century and the rest of the church from 1758 to 1759, replacing an earlier church on the site. Restorations were carried out in 1874, when a northwest vestry was added, and 1903. In October 1977, the church was the victim of an arson attack, leaving only the walls and the tower still standing. As a result of the fire there is nothing remaining of the restorations other than the vestry walls. Following the fire, the foundations of a narrower, timber-framed church were discovered. The roof and interior of the church were replaced by the architects Buxeby and Evans in 1979“80.
St Mary's is built in red sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. Its plan is a rectangle in five bays with a west tower, a northwest vestry, a northeast gabled projecting chapel, and a south porch. The tower is square with corner buttresses and a crenellated parapet. It has a west door with a window above it. At the bell stage are two-light louvred belfry windows on all sides. The windows on each side of the body of the church are round-headed. The east window is Venetian in style, glazed in large squares, with a cherub carved in the keystone
The roof, dating from 1979 to 1980, is in varnished chestnut. It is panelled in five compartments, and heavily moulded. The west organ gallery, standing on Tuscan columns, is a replica of that destroyed in the fire. The furniture has been acquired from a variety of sources. The font, which consists of a bowl carved with cherubs, dates from the 18th century and spent a century in a garden. The oak pulpit dating from the 17th century stands on Tuscan columns
it came from York Minster.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M69CF1 - . This location-specific image from United Kingdom in 2022 provides a visual record of the subject in everyday context, useful for both contemporary editorial work and later historical comparison. The image documents A mix of UK craft beer labels, stuck to a wall, as wallpaper. The locality and subject together evoke public information notice, pub interior heritage, advertising ephemera, street-level marketing, changing streetscape, licensed hospitality, local history, visual merchandising, local social venue, everyday life, beer-led hospitality, community drinking venue, period advertising, and licensed trade. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into tourism and consumer spending, not least because of pressure on hospitality margins in a high-cost economy. Today's relevance is strengthened by commercial competition, retail change and the continuing question of the historical value of ordinary advertising material. As a dated visual record of United Kingdom, the frame retains period objects and surrounding context, making it especially useful if different community use subsequently changes the scene. The surrounding story also includes promotional board, period detail, public realm, documentary photography, shop display, commercial signage, traditional ale house, and public-facing notice. The combination of labels, stuck, craft, and wallpaper anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. By fixing the subject within United Kingdom, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. Another useful connection is tourism and how food, drink and heritage combine in destination pubs without losing the local specificity of United Kingdom. The scene further reflects consumer culture and how signs and displays become time-specific records of commercial language in a form that can be compared with future views of United Kingdom.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M69C9T - Sitting sweetly on the bank of the River Medlock, just up the road from Oxford Road, the Lass O' Gowrie is an ancient and venerable Irish (but originally Scottish) pub and Manchester landmark, appearing on maps as early as 1844, back when it stood next to the Garratt Cotton Mill. Back then it was surrounded by hardcore slums which are now modern housing for a modern Manchester.
Complete with original tilework and fittings, the Lass sees a cheerful and diverse crowd on Fridays and Saturdays. It's very popular for post-work drinks or as a staging post on your way to Canal Street or the Northern Quarter.
One of the Lass O' Gowrie's unique features is its balcony-based smoking area, built out over the river below (and well-secured with high walls, so don't worry about stumbling). There's something very special about this particular slice of the city, with the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel off to the north, the opposite balcony of Joshua Brooks just to your east, and the pleasant sounds of the River Medlock filling the evening.
What's on the tap? Well, first and foremost the answer is Guinness, and that's what we recommend to be in keeping with the theme. But you should also check out the various craft beers on the list, like Tollgate Brewery's Belmorado pale ale. Guest beers circulate through the tap month by month, so there's always something new to try. The Lass O' Gowrie can also offer a selection of jolly bar snacks for all you pork scratching aficionados out there.
Listing NGR: SJ8431397523 - As it's surrounded by exciting developments like Circle Square, the Lass O' Gowrie caters to a diverse crowd of students, professionals, and tourists, so whoever you are, you're bound to find a warm welcome in the pub's surprisingly large interior.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NJXBTW - St Cross Church is in the village of Appleton Thorn, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth. Its benefice is combined with that of St Matthew's Church, Stretton.
History
The church was built in 1886 to a design by Edmund Kirby at the expense of Rowland Egerton-Warburton of Arley Hall.
Architecture
It is built in red sandstone with a red tile roof, in Decorated style. Its plan is cruciform with a two-stage tower over the crossing. It has a three-window nave without aisles, a one-window chancel, an oak-framed north porch on a sandstone plinth, and a baptistry projecting from the west end. Above the baptistry is a rose window. The stained glass in the east window is by Harcourt M. Doyle, dated 1970, and that in the rose window is by Celtic Studios of Swansea, dated 1986. The organ was built in 1906 at a cost of £220 (equivalent to £30,000 in 2021), by E. Wadsworth.
External features
The churchyard contains six war graves of British service personnel, three from World War I and three from World War II

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KDPYB0 - A printed circuit board (PCB
also printed wiring board or PWB) is a medium used in electrical and electronic engineering to connect electronic components to one another in a controlled manner. It takes the form of a laminated sandwich structure of conductive and insulating layers: each of the conductive layers is designed with an artwork pattern of traces, planes and other features (similar to wires on a flat surface) etched from one or more sheet layers of copper laminated onto and/or between sheet layers of a non-conductive substrate. Electrical components may be fixed to conductive pads on the outer layers in the shape designed to accept the component's terminals, generally by means of soldering, to both electrically connect and mechanically fasten them to it. Another manufacturing process adds vias: plated-through holes that allow interconnections between layers
The Austrian engineer Paul Eisler invented the printed circuit as part of a radio set while working in the UK around 1936. In 1941 a multi-layer printed circuit was used in German magnetic influence naval mines
Around 1943 the USA began to use the technology on a large scale to make proximity fuzes for use in World War II. Such fuzes required an electronic circuit that could withstand being fired from a gun, and could be produced in quantity
Motorola was an early leader in bringing the process into consumer electronics, announcing in August 1952 the adoption of plated circuits in home radios after six years of research and a $1M investment
Originally, every electronic component had wire leads, and a PCB had holes drilled for each wire of each component. The component leads were then inserted through the holes and soldered to the copper PCB traces. This method of assembly is called through-hole construction. In 1949, Moe Abramson and Stanislaus F. Danko of the United States Army Signal Corps developed the Auto-Sembly process in which component leads were inserted into a copper foil interconnection

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M6W9GP - Cheltenham owes much to its Regency roots, which were pivotal in assuring its growth from a Medieval Manor village, to the Town it is today. A visit by King George III secured Cheltenham's reputation as a fashionable place to be seen, and this popularity contributed to its rapid growth during the Regency Period. This short and extensive expansion period has given our Town an abundance of Regency buildings, and has earned us our place as Britain's most complete Regency Town.
As a style, Regency Architecture started popping up in the late 1700's, pioneered by Scottish Architect Robert Adam, and continued even after King George IV's untimely death, well into the 1840's. It is strictly attributed to late Georgian architecture and is typified by a renaissance of neoclassicism, which drew inspiration from the Ancient Greeks and Romans, featuring Ionic Porticos and fluted columns galore. Anyone taking a casual stroll around Cheltenham will easily spot these ancient influences, which adorn many buildings in the Town. Regency Style was also used to describe the decorative arts of the interior design including block printed, or striped wallpaper, as well as the fashion of the time including the famous Empire silhouette. Pop along to the Holst Birthplace Museum to see a perfectly preserved interior from the period.
Much of Cheltenham's iconic architecture was built during the Regency and subsequent Reign of King George IV between 1811 and 1830. Unlike many other periods of architecture, Regency was not about strict building rules, and was instead more a set of 'guidelines' for the design of the buildings.
For example, many modern Cheltenham homes reside in plain, elegant Regency buildings, particularly around Tivoli, The Suffolks and Bath Road. These Regency gems often appear flat roofed (but look closely they aren't) and have a flat vertical façade, string course (a horizontal line in relief between floors) and are finished in stucco with multi-paned sash windows.

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 2M108HH - King's Cross Light Tunnel is shown illuminated in vivid red, pink, blue, purple and green lighting, forming a striking pedestrian route between the King's Cross and St Pancras transport hubs and the redeveloped King's Cross estate around Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard. The image looks along the modern curved tunnel, with a few pedestrians visible in the distance and the coloured light reflected across the wall and ceiling panels.
This distinctive subway is a practical walking route as well as a piece of public realm design, taking people from King's Cross St Pancras Underground Station towards Granary Square, Coal Drops Yard, shops, restaurants, offices, cultural spaces and the canal-side parts of King's Cross. The King's Cross estate describes the tunnel as a route from St Pancras International and King's Cross stations towards Granary Square, Coal Drops Yard and the canal area. The route is widely recognised for its LED lighting and colour-changing visual effect, making it a popular London photo subject as well as a functional commuter and visitor corridor.
Coal Drops Yard and the wider King's Cross regeneration area have become a major central London destination, combining transport, retail, restaurants, public squares, offices, residential development and restored industrial heritage. The tunnel's intense coloured lighting gives the scene a futuristic and immersive appearance, contrasting with the historic railway context nearby. It can illustrate editorial themes including London transport, Underground station access, station regeneration, urban design, public art, night-time city photography, pedestrian infrastructure, tourism, shopping and dining destinations, King's Cross redevelopment, Camden visitor attractions and the reshaping of formerly industrial railway land into a high-profile mixed-use district.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JDJ4B1 - The Golden Cross is a Grade II listed public house at the junction of Customhouse Street and Hayes Bridge Road in the centre of Cardiff, Wales. The current building dates from 1903 and is noted for its distinctive ceramic tiling.
History
A pub has existed on the site since 1849, originally named the Shields and Newcastle Tavern. It was renamed the Castle Inn in 1855 and assumed its present name in 1863. The Cardiff historian Brian Lee has said the Golden Cross developed a reputation as the smartest brothel in town in the 19th century. Around 1903/4 it was rebult in its current form for Brains Brewery.
The Golden Cross is alleged to be the site of a fight involving a young Rocky Marciano, who was stationed in Wales during his time in the United States Army during World War 2. Also during the war, the fascist leader Oswald Mosley attempted to hold a meeting at the pub but violent opposition forced him to return to London.
The pub was given listed status by Cadw in May 1975, but despite this it was threatened with demolition in 1979 as part of a road-widening scheme. However it was reprieved after a campaign led by the South Wales Echo. In 2010 it was listed by CAMRA as one of their 10 most unspoilt pubs by the CAMRA Pub Heritage Group and is listed on CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.
The Golden Cross has become a popular gay friendly pub, with regular drag acts and entertainment. It was voted in 2004 as the best gay pub in the UK. The pub remains a tied house of the Brains Brewery.

CAMRA's Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors describes the Golden Cross as the most spectacularly decorated of any in Wales.
The bar tiles, featuring distinctive corner grotesques, were designed by Craven Dunnill of Shropshire. The interior has several decorative pictorial panels of tiles that depict Cardiff Castle, Brains Brewery in 1890, and Cardiff's Old Town hall

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ABY96E - The City of London is a city, ceremonial county and local government district that contains the historic centre and the primary central business district (CBD) of London. It constituted most of London from its settlement by the Romans in the 1st century AD to the Middle Ages, but the modern city named London has since grown far beyond the City of London boundary
City of London is widely referred to simply as the City (differentiated from the phrase the city of London by capitalising City) and is also colloquially known as the Square Mile, as it is 1.12 sq mi (716.80 acres
2.90 km2) in area. Both of these terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's trading and financial services industries
The City is a major business and financial centre, and the Bank of England is headquartered in the City. Throughout the 19th century, the City was the world's primary business centre, and it continues to be a major meeting point for businesses. London came top in the Worldwide Centres of Commerce Index, published in 2008. The insurance industry is focused around the eastern side of the City, around Lloyd's building.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02HK - . This documentary view of the recorded location in 2019 captures the subject within its actual surroundings, preserving a dated piece of visual history rather than an isolated object study. The location is represented through London Underground roundel Sign, London Transport, England,UK. Another layer of the scene includes place identity, public information notice, historical comparison, regional rail, changing land use, social history, visual archive, historic context, compliance notice, behavioural signage, access-control notice, archival record, documentary photography, and railway heritage. From a 2025-onward perspective, the scene also connects with integrated transport, reliability and reducing congestion and car dependency. In the mid-2020s, public safety and customer management keep the subject current, particularly through the role of signs in shaping behaviour without staff intervention. Looking back from the mid-2020s, the frame preserves a particular stage in the life of the location at the recorded site in the recorded location. A second layer of the scene includes visitor instruction, rail modernisation, period detail, contemporary social history, everyday life, rail transport, rail mobility, and regional identity. Elements such as Transport, London, roundel, and Underground add documentary specificity and may become more useful when compared with later records. The period setting at the recorded location helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. Another useful connection is integrated transport and linking trains more effectively with other transport when considered against later change at the recorded location. The scene further reflects clear communication and the balance between access, safety and venue responsibility without losing the local specificity of the recorded location.

The location is represented through Dr Who,Police box,Tardis,Glasgow,city centre, Scotland,UK,dusk,early evening. The scene additionally carries associations with everyday life, treatment access, urban mobility, historic context, road transport, period detail, workplace protection, place identity, motor traffic, contemporary social history, patient care, public-health provision, historical comparison, and public realm. The present-day relevance extends to treatment access and service funding, while a wider concern is how regulation and service pressure affect everyday places.

With the passage of time, the photograph anchors the visual character of the locality at the time at the recorded site in the recorded location. Further connections include public healthcare, regional identity, highway infrastructure, building safety, roadside environment, local character, documentary photography, and before-and-after reference.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBF07F - Physical Graffiti is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released as a double album on 24 February 1975 by the group's new record label, Swan Song Records.
The band wrote and recorded eight new songs for the album in early 1974 at Headley Grange, a country house in Hampshire, which gave them ample time to improvise arrangements and experiment with recording. The total playing time covered three sides of an LP, so they decided to expand it into a double by including previously unreleased tracks from the sessions for the earlier albums Led Zeppelin III, Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy. The album covered a range of styles including hard rock, progressive rock, rock 'n' roll and folk. The album was then mixed over summer 1974 and planned for an end-of year release. It was delayed because of the sleeve, which was designed by Peter Corriston and featured a theme around a tenement block in Manhattan, New York.
Physical Graffiti was commercially and critically successful upon its release and debuted at number one on album charts in both the US and the UK. It was promoted by a successful US tour and a five-night residency at Earl's Court, London, and has since been viewed as one of the group's strongest albums and the artistic peak of their career. The album has been reissued on CD several times, including an expansive 40th anniversary edition in 2015. Physical Graffiti was later certified 16× platinum in the United States

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PEHG7C - The River of Life project was developed in the aftermath of the 1993 IRA bomb in Warrington, which killed two boys - Tim Parry and Jonathan Ball - and injured dozens of people in Warrington City Centre.
The desire was to bring hope, freshness and new life to Bridge Street and the community. A streetscape concept emerged, incorporating every aspect of the urban landscape and its elements including paving, seating units and lighting columns.
CONCEPT
Central to the design is a tear shaped water feature. Water emerges from a broken glacial boulder, flows along a bronze channel, whose sides tell the story of creation, in low relief detail, and cascades onto a bronze dome, which bears the imprints of the hands of local school children. The dome is circled by a disk of etched copper that pictures the faces of several children, including Tim and Jonathan. Inspiration for the River of Life came from the powerful description of waters and the leaves of the trees - for the healing of the nations - described in the biblical book of Revelation. Symbols of brokeness, healing, new life and the passage of time can be seen and discovered throughout this unique artwork.
A symbolic water source is re-created over the full length of the pedestrianised section of Bridge Street. Using natural stone and granite sets, the floor design detail accurately mirrors the meandering course of the River Mersey as it passes through the borough of Warrington. Set into this meandering path are 12 bronze discs, that are part of the Leaves of the Trees project and involved twelve primary schools from the Borough.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHBJPE - Covent Garden is a district in London, on the eastern fringes of the West End, between St Martin's Lane and Drury Lane. It is associated with the former fruit-and-vegetable market in the central square, now a popular shopping and tourist site, and with the Royal Opera House, itself known as Covent Garden. The district is divided by the main thoroughfare of Long Acre, north of which is given over to independent shops centred on Neal's Yard and Seven Dials, while the south contains the central square with its street performers and most of the historical buildings, theatres and entertainment facilities, including the London Transport Museum and the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane.
By 1654 a small open-air fruit-and-vegetable market had developed on the south side of the fashionable square. Gradually, both the market and the surrounding area fell into disrepute, as taverns, theatres, coffee-houses and brothels opened up. By the 18th century it had become notorious for its abundance of brothels. An Act of Parliament was drawn up to control the area, and Charles Fowler's neo-classical building was erected in 1830 to cover and help organise the market. The market grew and further buildings were added: the Floral Hall, Charter Market, and in 1904 the Jubilee Market. By the end of the 1960s traffic congestion was causing problems, and in 1974 the market relocated to the New Covent Garden Market about three miles (5 km) south-west at Nine Elms. The central building re-opened as a shopping centre in 1980 and is now a tourist location containing cafes, pubs, small shops, and a craft market called the Apple Market, along with another market held in the Jubilee Hall.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AT9EB4 - . This location-based editorial photograph from Canada in 2015 preserves a recognisable subject together with clues about how the place was used and presented at the time. The location is represented through Canadian Stamp, Canada Stamp, Canada Post,used stamp, Canada 45c Code Postal , Confederation Bridge, Pont de la Confederation. The setting also relates to motor traffic, bricks-and-mortar retail, road transport, retail vacancy, motorway travel, community identity, local history, local character, changing streetscape, retail property, customer footfall, social history, place identity, and road engineering. Current discussion around this subject increasingly includes business rates alongside town-centre regeneration, with particular attention to the rapid turnover of shopfronts and trading names. From a 2025-onward perspective, the scene also connects with road safety, decarbonisation and the shift toward lower-carbon and more integrated transport. As the area changes, the photograph anchors the relationship between the subject and its surroundings in the immediate surroundings of Canada. The surrounding context also covers local trading, consumer retail, town-centre economy, highway infrastructure, road connectivity, contemporary social history, shopfront economy, and commercial frontage. Elements such as Postal, Bridge, Confederation, Canada, and Stamp add documentary specificity and may become more useful when compared with later records. A later view of Canada may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. The scene further reflects business rates and bringing underused premises back into productive use when considered against later change at Canada. Its period value extends to maintenance and the shift toward lower-carbon and more integrated transport without losing the local specificity of Canada.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED9E53 - A necktie or simply tie is a long piece of cloth worn for decorative purposes around the neck or shoulders, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat.
Variants include the ascot tie, bow tie, bolo tie, zipper tie, cravat and clip-on tie. The modern necktie, ascot, and bow tie are descended from the cravat. Neck ties are generally unsized, but may be available in a longer size. Men and boys wear neckties as part of regular office attire or formal wear.
Neckties can also be worn as part of a uniform (e.g. military, school and waitstaff), whereas some choose to wear them as everyday clothing attire. Neckties are traditionally worn with the top shirt button fastened, and the tie knot resting between the collar points. Among younger men, neckties are sometimes worn as a casual item, tied loosely around the neck, with the top shirt button unfastened

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EBFWGB - Tower Bridge is a bridge in London. It crosses the River Thames near the Tower of London. The north side of the bridge is Tower Hill, and the south side of the bridge comes down into Bermondsey, robbie, an area in Southwark. It is far more visible than London Bridge, which people often mistake it for. If large boats need to sail under Tower Bridge, the two halves of the bridge lift up to let it under. Many tourists go to London to see the Tower Bridge.
When it was first built, Tower Bridge was the bridge. Bascule is the French word for a see-saw. The bascules are the surfaces raised to allow tall ships to pass through: this happens about 900 times per year. The bridge's deck can be raised to 83deg from the horizontal. Tower Bridge is one of London's most famous sights.
The City of London Corporation held a competition for the design in 1876. Over 50 designs were entered, and in 1884 Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry's design was chosen.
Workers began to build the Tower Bridge in April 1886 and the bridge was opened in 30 June 1894.
In June 2012, the bridge was highlighted on the route of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the Thames

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy E6HY59 - Metrolink is a light rail system in Greater Manchester, England. The network consists of six lines which radiate from Manchester city centre and terminate at Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bury, Didsbury, Eccles, and Rochdale. The system is owned by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) and operated and maintained under contract by RATP In 2013/14, 29.2 million passenger journeys were made on the system, also known as Manchester Metrolink.
A light rail system for Greater Manchester was borne of Greater Manchester County Council's obligations to provide an integrated and efficient system of public transport under its structure plan and the Transport Act 1968. Greater Manchester's public transport network suffered from poor north“south connections, exacerbated by the location of Manchester's main railway stations, Piccadilly and Victoria, which were unconnected and lay at opposite edges of central Manchester. Abandoning the monorail and underground options conceived in the 1960s and 1970s, light rail was proposed in 1982 as the best and most economical public transport solution for Manchester city centre and the surrounding Greater Manchester metropolitan area, and gathered support throughout the 1980s as an appropriate integrated commuter service.
Government approval was granted in 1988 and the network began operating services between Bury Interchange and Victoria on 6 April 1992. This founded the United Kingdom's first modern street-running rail system and its second operational public tram system, the 1885-built Blackpool tramway being the only heritage tram system in the UK that had endured up to Metrolink's creation.
Metrolink has 77 stops along 48.5 miles (78.1 km) of standard-gauge track routed through seven of the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. The system has a mix of designated light railway (segregated from other traffic) and on-street tramway.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DG3968 - The St. Enoch Centre is a shopping mall located in the central area of Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland. The Architects were the GMW Architects. The construction, undertaken by Sir Robert McAlpine, began in 1986, and the building was opened to the public in May 1989. It was officially opened by the then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, in February of the following year.
Located on the site of the former St Enoch Station, the building is just off Glasgow's famous shopping thoroughfare, Argyle Street and overlooks the historic St. Enoch Square and the original Subway station building (on the right of the photograph). The present St Enoch subway station is now accessible by escalators.
Whilst the target of many architectural critics, the building is notable for its massive glass roof, which makes it the largest glass-covered enclosed area in Europe. Not only does this substantially reduce heating and lighting loads - the mall area is lit entirely by natural daylight in summer, whilst the solar heat generated by the roof means that mechanical heating is only required for a week on average per year - it also earned the building its affectionate nickname The Glasgow Greenhouse. The roof's steel framework was fabricated by the shipbuilders Scott Lithgow.
The glass roofed element surrounds a seven storey car park, and when originally opened, an ice rink. This was closed in 1999 when a refurbishment programme (initiated to compete with the newer Buchanan Galleries), saw it being replaced by more shops and an enlarged restaurant area.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDD6E2 - A beehive is an enclosed structure man-made in which some honey bee species of the subgenus Apis live and raise their young. Though the word beehive is commonly used to describe the nest of any bee colony, scientific and professional literature distinguishes nest from hive. Nest is used to discuss colonies which house themselves in natural or artificial cavities or are hanging and exposed. Hive is used to describe an artificial, man-made structure to house a honey bee nest. Several species of Apis live in colonies, but for honey production the western honey bee (Apis mellifera) and the eastern honey bee (Apis cerana) are the main species kept in hives.
The beehive's internal structure is a densely packed group of hexagonal prismatic cells made of beeswax, called a honeycomb. The bees use the cells to store food (honey and pollen) and to house the brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae).
Beehives serve several purposes: production of honey, pollination of nearby crops, housing supply bees for apitherapy treatment, and to try to mitigate the effects of colony collapse disorder. In America, hives are commonly transported so that bees can pollinate crops in other areas. A number of patents have been issued for beehive designs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F0G694 - This documentary stock photograph shows Berlin Cathedral, Berliner Dom,altar,wide shot. The image records Berlin Cathedral, the Berliner Dom, with an interior altar and wide architectural view, making it useful for editorial features on Berlin heritage, church architecture, imperial German history, museum-island tourism and sacred interiors. Berlin is a city where ordinary street details often carry heavy layers of history, from Prussian and imperial architecture to the Weimar period, Nazi rule, wartime destruction, division, the DDR, reunification, tourism, gentrification and contemporary creative culture. The caption and visible subject detail provide a specific point of entry into that wider story rather than a generic German city view. Buyers could use the photograph for articles about Berlin travel, Cold War memory, street art, museum interpretation, urban nightlife, river sightseeing, architecture, souvenir culture, public transport, pedestrian design or the way history is repackaged in modern tourism. Search-friendly composite terms include Berlin Mitte street art, DDR surveillance display, Berlin Fernsehturm skyline, River Spree pleasure boat, Ampelmann crossing light, Berliner Dom interior, Berlin urban culture and German capital tourism. If the subject is graffiti, it can illustrate the city as a living wall of political humour, youth culture, commercial branding and layered paste-ups. If it is heritage or church architecture, it can support more formal travel, culture, history and education uses. If it is a boat, toy or street sign, it gives editors an accessible human-scale route into a large city story. The documentary style keeps the image credible for web, magazine, guidebook, education, museum, travel, urban policy, politics, design, consumer and social commentary use. Its strength for Alamy search is the mix of precise caption wording and broader Berlin themes, allowing it to be found for both narrow subject searches and wider.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF138M - Pride of Liverpool - Ship at Albert dock Liverpool North West England UK
Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.
At the time of its construction the Albert Dock was considered a revolutionary docking system because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from/to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Due to its open yet secure design, the Albert Dock became a popular store for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite the Albert Dock's advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that within 50 years, larger, more open docks were required, although it remained a valuable store for cargo.
During the Second World War, the Albert Dock was requisitioned by the Admiralty serving as a base for boats of the British Atlantic Fleet. The complex was damaged during air raids on Liverpool, notably during the May Blitz of 1941. In the aftermath of the war, the financial problems of the owners and the general decline of docking in the city meant that the future of the Albert Dock was uncertain. Numerous plans were developed for the re-use of the buildings but none came to fruition and in 1972 the dock was finally closed. Having lain derelict for nearly ten years, the redevelopment of the dock began in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, with the Albert Dock being officially re-opened in 1988.
Today the Albert Dock is a major tourist UNESCO attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside of London

Manchester Cathedral is a medieval church in Manchester, England seat of the Bishop of Manchester. Its official name is the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George in Manchester and is located on Victoria Street in the city centre.
Although extensively refaced, restored and extended in the Victorian period, and then again following severe bomb damage in the 20th century, the main body of the cathedral largely derives from the wardenship of James Stanley (warden 1485“1506), and is in the Perpendicular Gothic style.
Stanley was also primarily responsible for commissioning the spectacular late medieval wooden furnishings, including the pulpitum, the choir stalls and the nave roof supported by angels with gilded instruments. It is one of fifteen Grade I listed buildings in Manchester. Since 2005 the Dean of the Cathedral has been the Very Reverend Rogers Govender.

Manchester Cathedral is a medieval church in Manchester, England seat of the Bishop of Manchester. Its official name is the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George in Manchester and is located on Victoria Street in the city centre.
Although extensively refaced, restored and extended in the Victorian period, and then again following severe bomb damage in the 20th century, the main body of the cathedral largely derives from the wardenship of James Stanley (warden 1485“1506), and is in the Perpendicular Gothic style.
Stanley was also primarily responsible for commissioning the spectacular late medieval wooden furnishings, including the pulpitum, the choir stalls and the nave roof supported by angels with gilded instruments. It is one of fifteen Grade I listed buildings in Manchester. Since 2005 the Dean of the Cathedral has been the Very Reverend Rogers Govender.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H2MCHT - The Lloyd's building (sometimes known as the Inside-Out Building) is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London. It is located on the former site of East India House in Lime Street, in London's main financial district, the City of London. The building is a leading example of radical Bowellism architecture in which the services for the building, such as ducts and lifts, are located on the exterior to maximise space in the interior.
Twenty-five years after completion in 1986, the building received Grade I listing in 2011
it was the youngest structure ever to obtain this status. It is said by Historic England to be universally recognised as one of the key buildings of the modern epoch
