Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FC89WP - . Vintage dogs love vims pet-food advertising panel recalls an era when illustrated enamel, ceramic and painted advertising signs were built to survive outdoors for years and brand names became part of the streetscape. Vims was associated with the Molassine Company, a British manufacturer known for molasses-based animal feeds and pet products. Vintage pet-food advertising is now collected both for its graphic design and for what it reveals about changing attitudes to domestic animals, feeding and commercial marketing. The cheerful slogan aimed directly at dog owners belongs to a period before television and digital advertising, when shop walls, railway stations and street signs carried bold, memorable messages in durable materials. Surviving examples are therefore objects of design history as well as commercial ephemera. The photograph can illustrate antiques, collectables, retro branding, British manufacturing, pet culture and nostalgia, while also raising questions about authenticity, restoration and the value placed on everyday advertising once its original commercial purpose has disappeared. The photograph also fixes the appearance of the place in the mid-2020s, preserving details that may later disappear through redevelopment, rebranding or changes in regulation. It is suitable for editorial use on social history, local identity, consumer behaviour and the way everyday streets respond to wider economic forces. For archive users, the frame is a useful factual record of how vintage Dogs Love Vims pet-food advertising panel appeared before later redevelopment, replacement or rebranding altered the scene. Search relevance also extends to vintage, documentary photography, local reporting, public policy and mid-2020s social change. The subject provides a concrete visual reference for editors needing a real location rather than a generic illustration of vintage. The real-world setting gives editors precise period context for future archive use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ENF28D - Handwritten chalkboard sign at Knutsford Makers Market asks dog owners to prevent their pets from urinating on plants displayed for sale. The message begins Health Hazard! and explains that affected plants cannot be sold after dogs have relieved themselves on them. It politely asks visitors to show respect for the trader's stock and concludes with Thank you. Flowering plants, metal tubs, garden containers, a watering can, wooden crates and a small £20 price label surround the freestanding board, placing the warning within an outdoor horticultural market stall.
The photograph records an everyday conflict between dog-friendly public spaces and the practical needs of independent retailers. Urine can contaminate pots, foliage, packaging and merchandise placed close to pavement level, leaving stock unpleasant to handle and potentially unsaleable. The wording focuses responsibility on dog owners, who are expected to supervise and control their animals around traders' goods. It also reflects the financial vulnerability of small businesses, for which damaged plants may represent a direct loss of income.
Knutsford Makers Market takes place around Princess Street and Silk Mill Street in the Cheshire town centre. The regular outdoor event brings together independent makers, food producers, artists, craft businesses and specialist traders. This candid retail sign offers a humorous but frustrated example of customer communication, responsible dog ownership, animal behaviour, pavement hygiene and consideration for others in a busy shopping environment.
The image is useful for editorial coverage of badly controlled pets, dog fouling concerns, health and hygiene, market trading, horticultural retail, damaged goods, antisocial behaviour, small-business pressures, public etiquette and the responsibilities accompanying dog ownership. It does not establish that any particular dog caused damage, but documents the trader's stated experience and request to customers

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8E1AT - . Dog Walking Cat Sitting MuttleyCrew. Photographed on 30 November 2024. Looking at dog care, the longer history is that animals occupy an increasingly visible place in household spending, creating businesses around healthcare, grooming, food, exercise and temporary care. In 2026, dog care remains relevant because the sector also faces debate about insurance, corporate ownership, transparency of fees and animal welfare, giving everyday veterinary and pet-service images wider economic relevance. Other useful descriptive phrases include veterinary clinic, pet care, companion animals, animal health, veterinary services, pet business, pet owner, cat care, veterinary practice, pet services, IMG_4129, and Dod. The background to pet services is that veterinary practice developed from a focus on working horses and livestock towards a large companion-animal sector as pet ownership expanded
Clinics, branding and specialist services reflect the increasing medicalisation of pet care. Within the history of pet care, pet services such as dog walking and cat sitting grew as working patterns and urban lifestyles increased demand for paid help with companion animals. In relation to companion animals, historical context shows that animals occupy an increasingly visible place in household spending, creating businesses around healthcare, grooming, food, exercise and temporary care. Current 2026 context around pet services is that veterinary costs and access to treatment remain significant consumer issues, while pet-care businesses continue to grow around busy households and high levels of dog and cat ownership. Against the 2026 backdrop for pet care, the sector also faces debate about insurance, corporate ownership, transparency of fees and animal welfare, giving everyday veterinary and pet-service images wider economic relevance. Its wider context brings together veterinary clinic, pet care and companion animals.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T10DPN - This friendly small bulldog is photographed at close range in Warrington town centre, standing on modern paving and looking directly towards the camera with its tongue out and a relaxed, happy expression. The black, white and tan coat, broad head, short legs, wrinkled face and sturdy body shape give the picture strong appeal for stock uses around pet ownership, dog walking, urban pets, companion animals, responsible ownership and everyday life in a northern English market town. The turquoise and black Julius-K9 style harness is clearly visible, adding useful search value for themes around dog accessories, secure walking equipment, canine control, training, safety and well cared for pets. The low viewpoint makes the dog feel characterful and engaging, with the paving background keeping attention on the animal.
Warrington sits between Manchester and Liverpool and its town centre remains the borough's main focus for shopping, entertainment, leisure, restaurants, the museum and the library, so this image can work as a warm local lifestyle photograph as well as a dog portrait. It shows the ordinary human side of a busy urban centre, where shoppers, residents and visitors bring pets through pedestrian areas and retail streets. The image may suit editorial features about dog-friendly towns, high street footfall, town centre regeneration, local public spaces, pet products, responsible dog walking, animal companionship, small bulldog breeds, urban leisure, family life and the growing role of pets in everyday British culture. The visible harness, lead attachment and friendly pose also make it useful for illustrating practical pet care, safe walking, socialised dogs in public and the popularity of branded canine harnesses. The cropped composition, direct eye contact and cheerful expression give the photograph commercial charm for articles, blogs and local news pieces needing an approachable dog image linked to Warrington, Cheshire and North West England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX18BM - Manchester & District Home for Lost Dogs was founded in 1893 by a group of Manchester Businessmen who were concerned about the large number of stray dogs roaming the City.
The leading members of the group included Mr. Megson a printer and stationer, (who's firm is still very active) and Mr. Alfred Nixon a leading Chartered Accountant in Manchester, it was his son and partners who continued to play a leading part in the administration of the Home until shortly after the last war in 1945.
Over the years the City of Manchester has grown around Manchester Dogs' Home and it is now very much an inner city rescue centre. To off set the inner city environment of our Manchester Home we regenerated a run down site in 1999, that is now know as Cheshire Dogs' Home
In 1999 we purchased a former run down boarding kennels, this has become the flagship of the two homes and a Centre of Excellence. The site is 11.5 acres in total with a Specialist Care Unit for dogs that provides intense care for the dogs that need it the most, pregnant bitches, nursing mums and dogs that do not adjust well to the traditional kennel environment at Manchester Dogs' Home.
2017 New Adoption Unit - The light filled atrium is proving a popular place for visitors to meet and interact with the dogs, while each of the 30 individual kennels offers maximum comfort for our canine guests.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNYX - This image shows countryside warning signs attached to a wooden farm gate, advising visitors to pick up after their dogs and to keep all dogs on leads. Such signs are commonly used across rural England to balance public access with farming, wildlife protection, and land management.
Dog control notices are particularly important near livestock, crops, and wildlife habitats, helping to reduce disturbance and maintain good relationships between landowners and walkers. The rural setting, with fencing, trees, and traditional brick houses in the background, places the scene firmly within the English countryside.
The warm evening light adds atmosphere while reinforcing themes of responsible access, rural etiquette, and countryside conservation. The image is suitable for editorial and commercial use covering dog ownership, countryside access, rural life, land management, public rights of way, and environmental responsibility.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDHN - Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned Grade II* listed coal-fired power station, located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The architects were J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages, in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built between 1929 and 1935 and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. Battersea B was built to a design nearly identical to that of Battersea A, creating the iconic four-chimney structure.
Battersea A was decommissioned in 1975. In 1980 the whole structure was given Grade II listed status
Battersea B shut three years later. In 2007 its listed status was upgraded to Grade II*. The building remained empty until 2014, during which time it fell into near ruin. Various plans were made to make use of the building, but none were successful. In 2012, administrators Ernst & Young entered into an exclusivity agreement with Malaysia's S P Setia and Sime Darby to develop the site to include 253 residential units, bars, restaurants, office space (occupied by Apple and No. 18 business members club), shops and entertainment spaces. The plans were approved and redevelopment commenced a few years later. As of 2021, the building and the overall 42-acre (17 ha) site development is owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors.

These vehicles are specially adapted to ensure animal welfare during transit and are used across the UK as part of the charity's rescue and support services.
Dogs Trust is the UK's largest dog welfare charity and plays a major role in dog rehoming, education, and animal protection. The visibility of branded vehicles such as this helps raise public awareness of dog welfare issues while supporting practical, frontline rescue work.
Photographed in overcast, wet conditions, the image offers a realistic, documentary view of everyday charity operations. It is well suited for editorial use covering animal welfare, rescue services, charity logistics, pet ownership responsibility, and the role of voluntary organisations in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4MN5 - Greyfriars Bobby's Bar occupies the ground floor of a row of Georgian houses adjoining the historic Candlemakers' Hall, built in 1722.
The name of the bar is inspired by an Edinburgh legend of a scruffy Skye terrier called Bobby. When his owner died in 1858, Bobby faithfully watched over his grave and was buried alongside his master in the Greyfriars Kirkyard in 1872.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DE5313 - . Dog Owners,take some responsibility for dog mess. Photographed at Montecute,Somerset,England,UK. The photograph was taken on 13 June 2013. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with Dog, Owners, take, responsibility, mess, antisocial, considerate, spare, thought and residents, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The photograph is a documentary record of an identifiable subject and location, useful for editorial, archive, travel, local-history and social-history picture research. It can support features about everyday life, place, public space, local identity, tourism, consumer behaviour and the changing appearance of towns, cities and communities. Visible objects, signs, buildings and environmental details provide contextual clues that make the image useful beyond its immediate subject. As a dated stock photograph it also offers a reference point for later comparison, especially where businesses, streets, public services or local surroundings subsequently change. Search themes include documentary photography, local history, everyday life, place, public space, travel, community identity, social history and changing surroundings. Its specificity makes it more useful than a generic concept image when an editor needs a recognisable real-world subject and setting. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. It can be used in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, documentaries, heritage projects and retrospective features where geographical accuracy and period detail matter. The view is firmly rooted in a real location rather than a constructed studio setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BPCNH6 - . A grounded editorial photograph of 51 Station Rd, Batley, West Yorkshire,England, UK, WF17 5SU, capturing details that may acquire greater historical value as the location and its use change. The main point of reference is Listed building,51 Station Road, Batley, West Yorkshire, England, elaborate carvings Monkeys, sheeps head,dog,owl,eagle,macaw,bat. Beyond the immediate subject, the image contains elements of regional rail, local history, regional identity, changing streetscape, railway branding, engineering history, documentary photography, local character, passenger connectivity, transport interchange, historical comparison, station environment, rail mobility, and social history. Current discussion around this subject increasingly includes integrated transport alongside reliability, with particular attention to linking trains more effectively with buses and trams. The subject remains useful for current coverage of skills and labour history and reuse of mills and warehouses, not least because of recording machinery and objects before they are dispersed. The photograph fixes signage and branding within 51 Station Rd, Batley, West Yorkshire,England, UK, WF17 5SU at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against altered transport patterns. The setting also brings in manufacturing heritage, mass transit, contemporary history, mill heritage, public transport network, visual archive, public realm, and trackside infrastructure. References to Listed, elaborate, carvings, Yorkshire, and sheeps give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to the named subject. The surrounding context at 51 Station Rd, Batley, West Yorkshire,England, UK, WF17 5SU matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. The frame therefore remains a dated reference for 51 Station Rd, Batley, West Yorkshire,England, UK, WF17 5SU and the changing story of the subject shown.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BPCNHE - . A location-based documentary photograph from 51 Station Rd, Batley, West Yorkshire,England, UK, WF17 5SU, useful both for its immediate subject and for the smaller period details around it. The view specifically shows Listed building,51 Station Road, Batley, West Yorkshire, England, elaborate carvings Monkeys, sheeps head,dog,owl,eagle,macaw,bat. The locality and subject together evoke production technology, industrial material culture, public realm, social history, regional rail, place identity, local history, rail modernisation, mass transit, regional identity, transport interchange, contemporary history, historic workplace, and local character. Current discussion around this subject increasingly includes public ownership alongside accessibility, with particular attention to reducing congestion and car dependency. The subject remains useful for current coverage of manufacturing history and reuse of mills and warehouses, not least because of understanding the industries that shaped northern towns. As a dated visual record of 51 Station Rd, Batley, West Yorkshire,England, UK, WF17 5SU, the frame retains landscape and surrounding development, making it useful if later redevelopment subsequently changes the scene. The setting also brings in changing streetscape, urban change, public transport network, built environment, visual archive, passenger railway, working-industry history, and historical comparison. The recorded references to eagle, Batley, Yorkshire, building, and macaw preserve clues that can help identify how the subject was presented or used at the time. By fixing the subject within 51 Station Rd, Batley, West Yorkshire,England, UK, WF17 5SU, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. The frame therefore remains a dated reference for 51 Station Rd, Batley, West Yorkshire,England, UK, WF17 5SU and the changing story of the subject shown.

Exeter West signal box is not at Exeter - it is at Crewe.
Why is this? Because a group of dedicated individuals saved the signalbox from demolition when the signalling in the Exeter area was renewed in 1985, and carefully dismantled it so it could be re-erected as a working museum demonstrating how the larger signal boxes of the past were.
This box is now viewable at Crewe as part of Crewe Heritage Centre display, and signalmen are present most weekends to describe and demonstrate signalling days of the past and answer questions from visitors.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Black Mountain is a Canadian psychedelic rock-band composed of Stephen McBean, Amber Webber, Matt Camirand, Jeremy Schmidt and Joshua Wells. They have recently really grown on me, particularly this, one of the gentler tracks on the latest album Wilderness Heart.
By day, three members of the band work for Insite, an organization that meets the basic living requirements of the chronically poor, drug addicted and mentally ill in a part of Vancouver.
A BBC review described it thus: 'Black Mountain's third album represents the finest yield so far from the Vancouver band\u2019s relentless harvesting of rock and folk's 70s heyday. Wilderness Heart refuses to dive into unfamiliar territory, instead expertly blending heavy rock, smoky blues and finger-picked acoustic guitars across an album of tantalisingly layered songs. Rather than adhering to type, Black Mountain now have a catalogue of songs that respect and rival their influences.'
I can only agree, having played the album to death now for about 7 weeks. Check it out, tell 'em I sent you :-)

Princess St in the city of Edinburgh can be a magnet for the homeless to pick up a few coins and the odd discarded half eaten sandwich, can of Tenants Super or BK whopper. Jenners is one of the top pitches. Its now owned by house of Fraser. Known as the 'Harrods of the North', it has held a Royal Warrant since 1911, and was visited by Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of its 150th anniversary in 1988. In recent years (2004) it changed its vision statement from its goal to 'be the most exciting department store outside of London' to 'Confidently Independent'.
Its probably no coincidence that this chap has choosen the 'Home, thats our department' window to bed down with his canine companion.
Up at the student run Bedlam Theatre there is a bench that is dedicated to the memory of a student who died a few years ago. The concrete bench is raised about two feet on a wall on the front of the theatre. From there you get a beautiful view all the way up North Bridge, the New College dome in the distance.
Tramps know it as 'the bench'. A central point to meet, watch the world go by, share tips and drinks, but not sheltered to sleep at night. As the colder weather draws in and other budget cuts bite its a harder time than ever in town. Although big cities attract the homeless, facilities are thin on the ground. Increasingly the 'Big Society' is being mentioned to replace trimmed initiatives and increasingly volunteers. This city can afford to waste over \u00a3600 million on trams solving a problem that did not exist, but little on supporting some of the vulnerable.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HTFW - . Liverpool Pools Building 1995 with dog and man. Image toned blue. Photographed on 15 October 1995. The recorded location is Old Littlewood's Pools Building, edge Lane Liverpool, Merseyside, England UK L13 5TF. Taken with Infra Red Kodak HE film. Historically, historic and contemporary architecture can be read as a record of investment, planning and changing urban functions
Civic, commercial, industrial and residential buildings each contribute to the character of a townscape, particularly where older structures are adapted rather than demolished. Historically, alternative photographic processes can make familiar subjects appear unfamiliar
Black-and-white and sepia evoke older photographic traditions, selective colour isolates a chosen detail, and infrared can render foliage and skies with striking tonal separation. In 2026, the reuse of existing buildings is increasingly discussed alongside conservation, embodied carbon and town-centre regeneration
Images of older façades and converted premises can therefore illustrate both architectural heritage and the practical pressures of adapting buildings for new uses. In 2026, these effects can be produced digitally with ease, but their usefulness still depends on the underlying subject and the visual information retained
Older examples also document the aesthetics of an era when strong selective colour and infrared processing were especially popular in creative digital photography. The historical context is that architecture records the priorities of the period in which a building was designed: materials, ornament, scale and planning can reveal changing technologies, social status and commercial use
Later alterations and changes of tenant add further layers, so a single façade can embody several phases of local history. Further editorial search language includes building façade, historic building, built environment, streetscape, architectural detail, period architecture, adaptive reuse, and urban design.

The Littlewoods Pools Building, Edge Lane is a real Liverpool landmark.
This art-deco building was the headquarters of the Littlewoods Pools company. In its heyday this building held thousands of workers but since the decline in popularity of 'doing the pools' the listed building now lies empty, possibly awaiting conversion to apartment. Another victim of the national Lottery. The other was Littlewood's bitter rival, Vernons.
A Liverpool Echo Newspaper Article earlier this year, in May 2012 suggested this iconic building could face demolition if a new use for it cannot be found.
'The huge art-deco complex has been empty for more than a decade and several attempts to regenerate it have failed to get off the ground. The council will now meet with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) to discuss a strategy for a number of sites along Edge Lane.
Sources told the ECHO that the land occupied by the 1930s Littlewoods building, next to Liverpool Innovation Park, will be high on the agenda.
While the HCA said an unnamed developer was keen to put forward proposals, it added there was \u201climited time\u201d to fund the refurbishment of the building and no formal agreement had been reached.
Cllr Malcolm Kennedy, cabinet member for regeneration, today said he wanted to secure a future for the landmark building.
Heritage experts also said it was surprising the building had never been given listed status, but a new use could be found for the site if its most iconic elements could be saved.'
Cllr Kennedy said: \u201cWe are looking at all sites up the Edge Lane corridor, including the innovation park, and there will be a concentrated effort between the two organisations.
\u201cThe Littlewoods building is not listed, although there have been attempts to do so.
\u201cWe would want to keep it because it is quite an iconic building \u2013 a Liverpool landmark. But it is going to be a struggle because the building is deteriorating quickly.\u201d

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JN6ECW - A new criminal offence to tackle dognapping and crack down on the heart-breaking issue of pet theft has moved a step closer.
Under government plans, people who steal a canine companion could face up to five years in jail if convicted of dog abduction.
The offence is being added to the Kept Animals Bill, which is currently making its way through the Commons, after a recommendation by the government's pet theft taskforce in September.
The taskforce, launched in May, looked into a reported rise in pet thefts during the pandemic. More than 2,000 such incidents were reported to the police in 2020.
Dognapping remains the biggest issue, with around seven in 10 incidents of pet theft recorded by police involving dogs, according to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
The move has been welcomed by leaders from animal rights organisations.
Chief veterinary officer Dr Christine Middlemiss said it is an important step forward with dogs being treated as sentient beings rather than merely property.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED18F - A low-angle exterior view of Greyfriars Kirk, framed by the ornate wrought iron entrance arch and pointed black railings of its historic kirkyard in Edinburgh's Old Town. The decorative gateway carries the Greyfriars name, while the broad stone frontage rises behind it, with a triangular pediment, small corner pinnacles and tall Gothic-style lancet windows. Heavy grey and white clouds fill the sky, with brighter shafts of light breaking through to create an atmospheric and brooding setting around one of the Scottish capital's best-known religious landmarks.
Greyfriars Kirk has played an important role in the religious, civic and political history of Edinburgh and Scotland. Construction began in the early seventeenth century, and the church opened in 1620 as the first new kirk built in Edinburgh after the Scottish Reformation. The site had earlier been associated with Franciscan friars, whose grey habits are reflected in the Greyfriars name. The kirk is also closely linked with the National Covenant of 1638, a defining event in Scottish religious and constitutional history.
The surrounding Greyfriars Kirkyard is one of Edinburgh's most famous burial grounds, containing old monuments, carved headstones and memorials to notable citizens. It is strongly associated with the Covenanters, the former Covenanters' Prison and the story of Greyfriars Bobby, the faithful dog traditionally said to have guarded his master's grave. The kirkyard is also a major stop on Edinburgh history, ghost and walking tours, attracting visitors interested in genealogy, architecture, religion and the darker stories of the Old Town.
Situated close to Candlemaker Row and George IV Bridge, Greyfriars Kirk forms part of the historic fabric of central Edinburgh. The upward viewpoint emphasises the entrance ironwork and church facade, while the dramatic weather, aged masonry and silhouetted railings create a strong editorial image of Scottish heritage, faith, tourism and urban history.
