Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE74K - The Rams Head public house in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, is shown during a cold winter period in January with light snow covering the ground and a decorated Christmas tree standing outside the pub. The historic building, with its mix of brickwork and traditional architectural features, is set against clear blue skies and low winter sunlight, which highlights the textures of the walls, roof and surrounding outdoor seating areas. Snow settled on benches and pathways reinforces the seasonal setting and the crisp atmosphere of a winter's day in rural England.
Village pubs such as the Rams Head have long played an important role in British social and cultural life, acting as meeting places, landmarks and centres of community activity. During the winter and festive season, pubs often become visual symbols of warmth and tradition, even when photographed without people present. The Christmas tree outside the pub adds a seasonal focal point, linking the image to themes of celebration, tradition and continuity within English village life.
The photograph reflects wider themes of British pub culture, hospitality, leisure and local identity, as well as seasonal change and winter weather in the United Kingdom. It is suitable for editorial use in travel and lifestyle features, hospitality coverage, festive and winter-themed publications, calendars and broader cultural storytelling focused on traditional England, rural communities and the enduring presence of village pubs within the countryside.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM98YA - A lively winter dusk street scene outside the Marks & Spencer department store on Market Street in Manchester city centre. The photograph is taken from a low, slightly angled viewpoint that emphasises the building's sweeping curved glass frontage and the large, readable MARKS & SPENCER signage wrapping around the corner. Warm interior lighting spills onto the pavement while the sky holds a deepening blue, creating a classic blue hour contrast between cool outdoor tones and the bright retail glow inside.
In the foreground, dense crowds of shoppers in winter coats stream past the entrance, queue, pause, and regroup, capturing the real feel of Manchester's busiest shopping street at peak footfall. The mix of faces and movement gives the image strong editorial value for stories about city-centre retail, consumer behaviour, seasonal shopping, and the everyday rhythm of the UK high street. The composition also works as a clear location identifier, balancing the recognisable brand frontage with the wider public realm, street lighting, and the bustle of an urban evening.
The scene suits a wide range of uses, from travel and lifestyle coverage of Manchester as a city-break destination, to business and economic pieces on retail performance, footfall, and the continuing role of large department stores in central shopping districts. The winter timing is communicated through the low light, bundled clothing, and the after-work atmosphere, making it a versatile image for headlines and general illustration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97XC - A wide, documentary view across Stockport Market Place capturing the distinctive Victorian Market Hall frontage alongside everyday town-centre businesses, including the clearly signed Town Barbers shop. The market hall's white-painted iron-and-glass structure, with its repeating arched frames and tall glazed panels, creates a strong graphic backdrop that instantly reads as a traditional northern market building. In contrast, the row of smaller street-level premises to the right gives the scene its modern, lived-in character, with local services and shopfronts sitting directly on the edge of the historic public square.
The light and colour suggest a cold-season day. Clear blue sky and crisp winter sunshine pick out the market hall framework and sharpen the edges of the streetscape, while long, clean shadows add depth to the paving and bollards in the foreground. The open space in front of the market hall gives a sense of scale and approach, emphasising the Market Place as a civic heart where trading, meeting, and everyday errands overlap. The presence of a barbershop sign in the same frame adds a useful editorial layer: a reminder that town centres are sustained not just by retail and markets, but by practical personal services that keep footfall steady through the week.
This image is well suited to editorial and commercial themes around UK market towns, heritage architecture in active use, independent businesses, and town-centre resilience. It also works as a recognisable Stockport location photograph, combining the landmark market hall with a named local shop, and presenting the Market Place as a functional, people-scale public realm rather than a purely tourist setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6C3 - A brightly decorated bar boat moored at Paddington Basin on the Grand Union Canal in west London, photographed at Paddington Basin, London W2 1TR. The floating venue features seating, lighting and decorative elements designed for socialising, with the canal and surrounding modern buildings forming a distinctive urban backdrop.
Paddington Basin is part of a wider regeneration area that has transformed former industrial and transport-related land into a mixed-use district combining offices, housing, restaurants and public spaces. The presence of bar boats and leisure craft reflects a broader revival of London's historic canal network, which once played a crucial role in freight transport but is now increasingly associated with recreation, tourism and lifestyle uses.
The Grand Union Canal, one of the longest canals in the UK, runs through west and north London, linking the capital with the Midlands. In areas such as Paddington Basin, the canal has become a focal point for waterside placemaking, where floating caf??s, bars and cultural venues add vibrancy to the public realm and encourage informal social interaction.
Scenes like this are often used editorially to illustrate themes of urban regeneration, adaptive reuse of infrastructure, the growth of waterside leisure economies and changing patterns of city life. Photographed in daylight with people, seating and moored boats visible, the image captures the canal as a lived-in urban space rather than a purely historic relic.
The photograph offers strong editorial value for subjects including London waterways, floating hospitality, contemporary urban leisure, tourism and the reinvention of post-industrial environments, making it suitable for travel features, lifestyle coverage and urban studies publications.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6C0 - The engraved stone signage of Cork Savings Bank, photographed on the historic South Mall in Cork City, County Cork, Ireland (postal district T12). The image shows the bank's name set into the building's fa??ade above decorative wrought-iron railings, emphasising craftsmanship and permanence typical of nineteenth-century financial architecture.
Savings banks played a significant role in Irish social and economic history, promoting thrift and financial inclusion among working communities during a period of rapid urban and commercial growth. Cork Savings Bank was part of this wider movement, reflecting the city's importance as a regional centre of trade, shipping and finance in southern Ireland.
South Mall has long been associated with banking, commerce and professional services, forming one of Cork's most prestigious historic streets. Buildings along the Mall were designed to convey stability, trust and civic responsibility, values that were central to public confidence in financial institutions before the modern era of digital banking.
The architectural detailing visible in the image ? carved stonework, restrained classical proportions and ornamental ironwork ? reflects Victorian and Edwardian influences common to bank buildings of the period. Today, such structures contribute to Cork's historic streetscape and remain important markers of the city's commercial heritage.
Photographed in daylight with architectural textures clearly visible, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including Irish banking history, financial institutions, heritage architecture, urban commercial development and the preservation of historic city centres. It is suitable for use in history publications, financial commentary, education, and cultural or architectural features relating to Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6BY - Close-up view of a Fat Burgers sign photographed in Birmingham city centre, Birmingham B5, West Midlands. The bold, graphic design features large white lettering and coloured stripes associated with burger branding, making the sign highly visible within the urban streetscape.
Independent fast-food outlets such as Fat Burgers form a significant part of Birmingham's diverse food scene, serving local residents, students and night-time economy customers alongside national chains. Burger takeaways in particular have become a staple of UK high streets, reflecting changing eating habits that favour convenience, affordability and informal dining.
Birmingham is known for its multicultural food culture and dense concentration of independent eateries, especially in and around the city centre. Signs like this contribute to the visual identity of urban food districts, where branding, colour and typography are used to compete for attention in busy commercial areas.
Images of takeaway signage are often used editorially to illustrate stories about high-street change, small food businesses, fast-food consumption, urban lifestyles and the economics of independent hospitality. Photographed in daylight with the sign filling the frame, the image isolates the branding from its surroundings, making it suitable for reuse in a wide range of editorial and design contexts.
The photograph offers strong editorial value for themes including fast-food culture, independent retail, urban eating habits and contemporary life in British cities, particularly within discussions about the evolving role of takeaways on UK high streets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXM2 - Aviva Studios, the home of Factory International, photographed at the St John's development in Manchester city centre, England. The image shows a contemporary cultural venue with a large glazed facade revealing interior lighting and activity, alongside brightly coloured picnic-style benches used as informal public seating. Opened as a flagship arts space, Aviva Studios was developed to host large-scale theatre, music, dance, exhibitions, and international festivals, reinforcing Manchester's reputation as a major centre for culture and the creative industries. The building forms a central part of the St John's regeneration scheme, a former industrial area transformed into a mixed-use district focused on arts, leisure, and public realm. The scene reflects modern approaches to cultural infrastructure, where landmark venues are designed to be accessible and integrated into everyday urban life, highlighting wider themes of urban regeneration, investment in culture, and the changing character of post-industrial British city centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3D2 - A close view of an illuminated exterior sign for Playhouse Gentlemen's Club in Cardiff city centre. The circular sign, clearly displaying the name Playhouse along with heraldic-style graphics, is mounted above street level and lit with warm bulbs, designed to attract attention within a busy urban streetscape.
The venue operates as part of Cardiff's night-time leisure economy, which includes bars, clubs, live music venues and adult entertainment establishments concentrated around the city centre. Signs such as this play a functional and symbolic role, marking spaces associated with nightlife, consumption and adult-oriented leisure within the public realm.
The surrounding architecture reflects Cardiff's historic commercial streets, with upper-floor residential or office accommodation above ground-level leisure uses. The contrast between traditional building fa??ades and modern illuminated signage illustrates how historic city centres adapt to changing patterns of entertainment and economic activity.
Photographed under conditions where artificial lighting is prominent, the image is well suited for editorial use covering nightlife economies, urban culture, adult entertainment regulation, city-centre leisure districts, and debates around the role of such venues within modern British cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RE0XB4 - Now the flag is set to be returned to the ownership of the community as part of a long-running campaign to allow Leithers to fly their coat of arms once again.
The Court of the Lord Lyon, the heraldic authority for Scotland, has been responsible for the historic crest since 1920.
However, Leith councillor Rob Munn revealed that Leith will once again be allowed to use the coat of arms freely in three months' time.
Councillor Munn, Deputy Lord Provost, said: When Leith amalgamated with Edinburgh, the coat of arms fell out of use and was in the care of the Lord Lyon's office. Previously the Borough Council had it. Over the past decade or so there's been discussions about getting it back.
The crest of the flag features representations of Mary and Jesus in a sailing ship, under the legend Sigillum Oppidi De Leith, which translates as the seal of the town of Leith, and above the phrase Persevere, and is believed to have been brought to the community by 11th-century French traders.
The crest can still be seen on some lampposts, and on several old buildings in Leith.
The Court of the Lord Lyon is understood to have heraldic artists currently designing a slightly different version of the flag for the handover.
Its official title will be The Arms of Leith Neighbourhood Partnership and it will be based on the Arms of the former Leith Borough Council.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCDJ39 - image shows the upper frontage of the former Bee Hive Inn, located at 44 High Street in Northwich town centre, Cheshire. The red-brick building retains prominent raised lettering reading Greenall Whitley & Co, identifying it as a former tied house of the well-known Cheshire and Lancashire brewery.
Greenall Whitley was founded in Warrington in the eighteenth century and became one of the North West's most significant regional brewers and pub owners. By the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the company operated hundreds of tied public houses across Cheshire, Lancashire, and North Wales. The Bee Hive Inn formed part of this estate and served generations of local residents as a traditional town-centre public house.
Architecturally, the building reflects late Victorian or Edwardian pub design, with a shaped gable, red brickwork, and strong street presence intended to signal permanence and respectability. Such design features were typical of brewery-owned pubs built or remodelled during this period.
The Bee Hive Inn has since closed as a licensed premises and the building has been repurposed for commercial use, reflecting wider patterns of pub closures and high-street change across the UK. Despite this, the surviving brewery signage and facade detailing preserve a visible link to Northwich's social and brewing history.
The photograph documents the layered history of a former public house, illustrating the transition from traditional pub culture to modern commercial reuse within a changing town-centre environment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2REGJ6D - The exterior of Leon's Store, a small independent secondhand shop on Tabley Street in Northwich, Cheshire. The brick-built building houses a reuse-focused retailer offering a mix of pre-loved furniture, clothing, vintage items and household goods, reflecting the continued role of independent shops in supporting recycling and sustainable consumption.
Businesses like Leon's Store form part of the local reuse economy, extending the life of everyday items through resale rather than disposal. In towns such as Northwich, these shops provide affordable goods while contributing to waste reduction and circular-economy principles, often operating with minimal branding and a strong community presence.
Photographed in daylight, the image documents a modest but resilient example of independent high-street retail in a UK town. It is suitable for editorial use relating to sustainability, recycling, vintage retail, small businesses, and the changing nature of British high streets. Shops like Leon's Store play an outsized role in small towns, acting as quiet anchors of continuity at a time when many high streets are dominated by short-lived chains or empty units. By dealing in second-hand, pre-loved and vintage goods, they reconnect everyday shopping with older patterns of reuse and repair that once defined local economies, when objects were valued for their durability and story rather than their novelty. These shops keep money circulating locally, offer affordable alternatives in difficult economic times, and create informal social spaces where knowledge, memory and local history are exchanged alongside goods. At the same time, they sit squarely within modern green thinking, extending the life of furniture, clothing and household items, reducing waste and carbon costs, and embodying practical, everyday recycling rather than abstract environmental rhetoric.In doing so, they link past and present, showing how traditional ways of living lightly on resources are increasingly relevant

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP368 - This image shows a richly coloured stained glass heraldic panel inside Coleraine Town Hall, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The central shield bears crossed symbols and decorative floral motifs, surmounted by the Red Hand of Ulster, one of the most recognisable and historically significant emblems of the province of Ulster.
The banner text reading Newton Governor references civic or administrative authority connected with Coleraine's historical governance, reflecting the town's importance as a regional centre during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Surrounding the shield are elaborate decorative elements typical of Victorian and Edwardian stained glass, including scrollwork, symbolic objects, and vibrant blue, gold, and green glass.
Stained glass such as this was commonly installed in municipal buildings to express civic pride, authority, and continuity, combining local identity with broader Ulster and British heraldic traditions. The image is suitable for editorial use relating to Northern Irish history, heraldry, civic architecture, stained glass art, and local government heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PM - This image shows the decorative hanging shop sign outside The Dolls Hospital on Toad Lane in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The sign, titled Toys & Dolls, features traditional illustrated artwork and text describing the business as master toymakers and purveyors of playthings, with references to antique and reproduction dolls and a dolls' hospital service.
Toad Lane is one of Rochdale's most historically significant streets and is closely associated with the town's commercial and cooperative heritage. Independent specialist retailers such as The Dolls Hospital contribute to the character of the area, offering niche craft skills and traditional services that contrast with modern chain retail.
The sign itself is suspended from a wrought iron bracket and designed in a deliberately old-fashioned style, evoking Victorian and Edwardian shop signage. Its weathered appearance and detailed illustration underline the shop's emphasis on heritage, craftsmanship, and the repair and restoration of dolls rather than mass-produced modern toys.
Photographed in clear daylight, the image highlights the role of traditional hanging signs in British town centres, where they remain an important visual marker of independent shops and specialist trades. This photograph is well suited for editorial use covering retail heritage, historic high streets, traditional craftsmanship, and the cultural character of northern English towns.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMNT - This image shows Central Parade flats and its prominent clock tower on Church Hill in Walthamstow, East London, an instantly recognisable local landmark within the Walthamstow Village area of the London Borough of Waltham Forest. The building dates from the interwar period and reflects the practical yet decorative municipal architecture of the 1930s, combining red brick construction with patterned concrete panels and a tall vertical tower housing a large public clock.
The development was designed as mixed-use housing, with commercial premises at ground level and residential flats above, a common urban model intended to support walkable neighbourhoods and local trade. The clock tower acts as both a civic feature and a wayfinding landmark, visually anchoring Church Hill and the surrounding streets.
The photograph was taken in daylight under a bright, partly cloudy summer sky, which highlights the contrasting textures of brick, concrete, and glazing across the facade. Pedestrians, traffic signals, and nearby residential buildings place the structure firmly within everyday London life, emphasising its continued role as functional housing rather than a preserved monument.
Images such as this are well suited to editorial use covering themes of London housing, social and municipal architecture, urban regeneration, local identity, mixed-use development, and the character of historic residential areas in East London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMRX - This image shows the exterior of the Barrel Store operated by Wild Card Brewery, located on the Ravenswood Industrial Estate in Walthamstow, East London. Bold painted lettering on the rendered wall advertises the Barrel Store and highlights the brewery's focus on the retail and manufacture of barrel-aged beer, a specialist area within the UK craft brewing scene.
Wild Card Brewery is part of a wider cluster of independent creative and food-and-drink businesses that have taken root in former light-industrial premises across Walthamstow. Facilities such as the Barrel Store are used for ageing beer in oak barrels, allowing flavours to develop over extended periods and linking modern craft brewing with traditional production techniques.
The scene is photographed in daylight under a partly cloudy sky, with picnic-style outdoor seating visible in front of the building, suggesting use as both a working production space and a customer-facing retail or tasting area. The utilitarian industrial setting contrasts with the growing cultural and social role of craft breweries as community hubs.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering London's craft beer movement, independent breweries, small-scale manufacturing, urban regeneration, food and drink culture, and the reuse of industrial estates by creative businesses in East London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDH2 - This image shows a blue heritage plaque commemorating Charles Dickens, mounted on the exterior wall of Tavistock House in the Bloomsbury area of central London. The plaque records that Dickens lived at or near this site between 1851 and 1860, a significant period in his literary career during the height of Victorian Britain.
Charles Dickens is widely regarded as one of the greatest English novelists, known for works such as Bleak House, Hard Times, Little Dorrit, and Great Expectations. His time at Tavistock House coincided with the production of several major novels and reflects his close association with London, a city that features prominently in his writing as both setting and subject.
Blue plaques form part of a long-established British tradition of marking buildings connected with notable historical figures, helping to preserve cultural memory within the urban landscape. Positioned on a stone facade beside an arched window, the plaque links everyday streetscapes with the literary and social history of the capital.
Photographed in daylight, the image emphasises the crisp blue-and-white enamel of the plaque against the pale masonry, making it well suited to editorial use covering English literature, literary heritage, historic London, famous writers, education, and cultural tourism in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDT2 - 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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55J7D - This long, wide panoramic image shows a green-liveried Avanti West Coast Class 390 Pendolino standing at Crewe railway station, one of the most important junctions on the West Coast Main Line. The train carries prominent environmental branding reading Our Planet Means The World To Us, reflecting Avanti West Coast's sustainability and carbon-reduction messaging.
The Class 390 Pendolino fleet forms the backbone of high-speed electric intercity services linking London with the North West, West Midlands, North Wales, and Scotland. Known for their tilting capability, Pendolinos are designed to maintain higher speeds on curving mainline routes while remaining fully electric, reinforcing rail's role as a lower-carbon alternative to road and air travel.
The image's wide, side-on composition emphasises the length of the train and the bold green graphics applied across multiple carriages, making it particularly suitable for layouts requiring panoramic or banner-style imagery. The platform environment and partial station architecture situate the scene within an active mainline railway setting.
Photographed in daylight at platform level, the image is well suited to editorial use covering UK rail transport, sustainable travel, rolling-stock branding, climate messaging in public transport, and modern intercity rail operations.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine buskers have been robbed of their spots, so their music has had to go underground.
But it's not just their music that has been taken, it is also their livelihoods. So this Eurovision, Ketchum UK has created a campaign for buskers from Liverpool to give up their usual spots along the Merseyrail network to Ukrainian musicians, giving them the chance to perform for audiences and keep the conversation alive about this unjust war.
Travellers going through the four biggest stations
Liverpool Central, Lime Street, Moorfields and James Street will be able to enjoy authentic Ukrainian busking music.
Each busking spot has a speaker streaming the artists music and a QR code for passers-by to scan to find out more about the musicians' story, videos about them and to donate to the cause.
All proceeds raised will go directly to Supplies for Ukraine C.I.C., who are working to provide essential, lifesaving equipment to civilians and volunteers on the front lines in Ukraine.
There is an accompanying outdoor poster campaign across the Merseyrail network and all tracks are streamed as a playlist on Spotify.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG1WF0 - A Lidl supermarket located on Stockton Street in Littleborough, Greater Manchester, postcode OL15 8YJ, photographed at dusk. The image shows the modern retail building with a glazed fa??ade, internal lighting, and the distinctive Lidl logo illuminated against a fading evening sky.
Lidl is a major European discount supermarket chain with a significant presence across the UK, known for its focus on value pricing, private-label goods, and a limited-assortment retail model. Stores such as this form an important part of everyday local shopping infrastructure, serving surrounding residential communities and supporting town-centre and edge-of-centre retail provision.
Littleborough, a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, combines historic Pennine mill heritage with contemporary retail and residential development. The presence of national supermarket chains reflects broader patterns in UK retail geography, where accessible food shopping remains a key anchor for local economies.
The photograph captures the store during early evening trading hours, with artificial lighting contrasting against the soft twilight sky. Visible pedestrian crossings, entrance canopies, and car parking emphasise the practical, functional design typical of modern British supermarket architecture. The image works as an editorial illustration of UK food retail, consumer habits, and everyday urban life.

Established as a bicycle retailer in 1927, Currys expanded the range of goods sold and from the 1960s became a major retailer of household electrical items. In 1984 the company was bought by rival retailer Dixons, and the Currys brand was used for all outlets of the combined company. From 2008, the business turned away from shops in town centres to larger out-of-town stores under the Currys PC World brand, combining the operations of Currys with Dixon's PC World under one roof
after the formation of Dixons Carphone in 2014, the stores gained Carphone Warehouse departments. It was announced in July 2021 that all Currys PC World stores would be rebranded to Currys.
Dixons Retail began a trial combining Currys and PC World shops in 2008. During the Dixons Carphone Christmas 2015?2016 results update to shareholders, Sebastian James, group chief executive, revealed that over the following financial year the three-in-one shop format (shops featuring Currys, PC World and Carphone Warehouse branding under one roof) would be rolled out across the company's entire portfolio in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
Following reorganisations in 2020 and 2021, Dixons Carphone announced that the Currys PC World stores would be rebranded to Currys in October 2021

Gridserve opened the UK's first all-electric car charging forecourt in 2020, and plans to open over 100 more over the following five years to charge electric vehicles with 100% renewable energy, supporting the UK's transition to carbon neutrality.
Acts as a vendor and comparison site for the leasing of electric vehicles with Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions, with 100 trees planted for every car leased. Leased EV customers have the full cost of charging at Gridserve electric forecourts covered.
Installs and operates a network of electric charging hubs and home chargers. A ?1bn UK-wide investment is planned to build over 100 public charging stations.
operates photovoltaic power stations, also known as solar farms, supplying renewable electricity to the National Grid. The solar modules are bifacial, allowing them to harvest energy from both sides of the panel. Land at Clay Hill, Bedfordshire serves as one of the UK's first subsidy-free solar farms, coming online in 2017 and comprising 10MW of solar PV and 6MW of energy storage. A solar farm was also constructed by GRIDSERVE for Warrington Borough Council at a site near Easingwold, York
In advance of the UK mandatory phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles by 2030[8] and anticipated mass adoption of electric vehicles, Gridserve is developing a countrywide network of customer-focused forecourts that provide ultra-fast electric vehicle charging services and associated retail. Revenue and profitability are designed to derive from electricity grid balancing services and the provision of solar energy generation. However, the company pointedly does not call them service stations
the planned forecourts are intended to serve local communities, like petrol stations do, rather than serving passing trade on motorways. Facilities include convenience stores, office 'pods'etc

The structure features colourful banners and signage associated with Mainz's long-established carnival traditions, with tiered grandstand seating erected to accommodate spectators. The historic sandstone building behind the stage provides a striking architectural backdrop, emphasising the integration of cultural events within the city's civic spaces.
Fastnacht, also known as Fasching or Karneval in other parts of Germany, is one of Mainz's most important cultural events and a defining feature of the city's identity. Celebrations typically include speeches, satire, music, costumes, and public performances, with events taking place in prominent city locations. Mainz Fastnacht is particularly known for its political humour and televised sessions, drawing large crowds each year.
The image captures themes of tradition, civic celebration, seasonal events, and urban cultural life. It illustrates how public spaces are temporarily transformed to host large-scale festivals and communal gatherings. The photograph is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to German culture, carnival traditions, public events, festival infrastructure, tourism, and the social life of European cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ29CK - Bacharach (pronunciation (help?info), also known as Bacharach am Rhein) is a town in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rhein-Nahe, whose seat is in Bingen am Rhein, although that town is not within its bounds.
The original name Baccaracus suggests a Celtic origin. Above the town stands Stahleck Castle (Burg Stahleck), now a youth hostel.
Geography
Location
The town lies in the Rhine Gorge, 48 km south of Koblenz.
Constituent communities
Bacharach is divided into several Ortsteile. The outlying centre of Steeg lies in the Steeg Valley (Steeger Tal) off to the side, away from the Rhine. This glen lies between Medenscheid and Neurath to the south and Henschhausen to the north on the heights.
History
In the early 11th century, Bacharach had its first documentary mention. It may have been that as early as the 7th century, the kingly domain passed into Archbishop of Cologne Kunibert's ownership
pointing to this is a Kunibertskapelle (chapel) on the spot where now stands the Wernerkapelle. The V??gte of the Cologne estate were the Elector of the Palatinate, who over time pushed back Cologne's influence.
Caring for and maintaining Bacharach's building monuments, spurred on in the early 20th century by the Rhenish Association for Monument Care and Landscape Preservation (Rheinischer Verein f?r Denkmalpflege und Landschaftsschutz) which took on the then highly endangered town wall and Stahleck Castle ruin jobs, and the great dedication of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate to the Wernerkapelle have seen to it that Bacharach is still a jewel of the Rheinromantik and a multifaceted documentary site of mediaeval architecture on the Middle Rhine. The Wernerkapelle ruin is under monumental protection and before it a plaque has been placed recalling the inhuman crimes against Jewish residents and also containing a quotation from a prayer by Pope John XXIII for a change in Christians' thinking in their relationship

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59X72 - This image shows bilingual signage at the entrance to Cardiff Market, also known in Welsh as Marchnad Caerdydd, located in the heart of Cardiff city centre. The sign prominently displays the Welsh-language name above the English wording Cardiff Market, reflecting Wales's official bilingual status and the everyday public use of the Welsh language.
Cardiff Market is a Grade II listed Victorian indoor market dating back to the late 19th century and has long been a focal point for local trade, food retail, and social life in the Welsh capital. The use of Welsh alongside English on public signage is part of a wider national effort to promote and normalise the Welsh language in civic spaces.
The photograph captures the arched architectural detail of the market entrance, with decorative lighting adding warmth and atmosphere, suggesting an evening or festive setting. The combination of historic typography, traditional materials, and bilingual text highlights the intersection of heritage, language, and contemporary urban life in modern Wales.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering Welsh language policy, bilingual Britain, Welsh culture and identity, historic markets, Cardiff tourism, and the preservation of civic heritage in Wales.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M4MR0N - Francis Matcham (22 November 1854 ? 17 May 1920) was an English architect who specialised in the design of theatres and music halls. He worked extensively in London, predominantly under Moss Empires, for whom he designed the Hippodrome in 1900, Hackney Empire (1901), Coliseum (1903) and Palladium (1910). His last major commission before retirement was the Victoria Palace (1911) for the variety magnate Alfred Butt. During his 40-year career, Matcham was responsible for the design and construction of over 90 theatres and the redesign and refurbishment of a further 80 throughout the United Kingdom
Matcham was born in Newton Abbot, Devon, where he became apprenticed at the age of 14 to the architect George Soudon Bridgman. Matcham moved to London, aged 21, where he joined the architectural practice of J. T. Robinson, who was to become his father-in-law. Under Robinson, Matcham completed his first solo design, the Elephant and Castle Theatre, which opened in June 1879. He took over the business on Robinson's death and continued the designs of various provincial theatres. He formed his own practice, Matcham & Co., in the 1880s and enlisted skilled craftsmen. His first major association came in the 1880s when he was employed to design and refurbish theatres belonging to the Revill family who owned many of the theatres throughout the United Kingdom.
Matcham's most successful period was between 1892 and 1912 when he worked extensively for Moss Empires, a theatre building business headed by Edward Moss and run by Oswald Stoll. Under them, Matcham completed 21 theatres, including three in London, with the rest being in the provinces. Also during this period, although not with Moss Empires, he completed the designs for the Tower Ballroom at Blackpool Tower, Grand Theatre, Blackpool and the Theatre Royal, Norwich, all in 1894, and the County Arcade, Leeds, in 1900.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M4MR0W - Sir Oswald Stoll (20 January 1866 ? 9 January 1942) was an Australian-born British theatre manager and the co-founder of the Stoll Moss Group theatre company. He also owned Cricklewood Studios and film production company Stoll Pictures, which was one of the leading British studios of the Silent era. In 1912, he founded the Royal Variety Performance (originally Royal Command Performance) a now-annual charity show which benefits the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund
Born in Melbourne, Australia as Oswald Gray, he moved to England with his mother, Adelaide McConnell Gray after the death of his father James Oswald Gray. When his mother remarried, he took his stepfather's last name, Stoll.
At a young age, Stoll left school to help his mother, Adelaide, manage first the Parthenon music hall in Liverpool, and later a regional theatre company. The company was a success, and Stoll began to buy or build city theatres. The theatre business made Stoll a wealthy man, and in 1898 he merged his business with that of competitor Edward Moss, to form Moss Empires. By 1905, almost every large town in Great Britain had an Empire or a Coliseum theatre, managed by Stoll. He continued to honour the roots of his business by installing his mother in each new box office, so she could take the first ticket sale
His film company Stoll Picture Productions was founded in April 1918, and acquired a one-stage studio in Surbiton which the company retained until 1923. A former aeroplane factory in Cricklewood was purchased in 1920 and converted to film use as Cricklewood Studios. Particularly associated with director Maurice Elvey, Stoll's company maintained a connection with the film industry until 1938 when the Cricklewood studio was closed

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNBY6G - The Silver Jubilee Bridge (originally the Runcorn?Widnes Bridge or informally the Runcorn Bridge) crosses the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal at Runcorn Gap between Runcorn and Widnes in Halton, England. It is a through arch bridge with a main arch span of 361 yards (330 m). It was opened in 1961 as a replacement for the Widnes-Runcorn Transporter Bridge. In 1975?77 the carriageway was widened, after which the bridge was given its official name in honour of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It carries the A533 road and a cantilevered footway. The bridge is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The bridge was closed to vehicles for refurbishment upon the opening of the new Mersey Gateway Bridge, but reopened as a toll bridge in February 2021
In 1977 the carriageway was widened by incorporating the footpaths, giving it four lanes, and a cantilevered foot-way was built on the east side of the bridge. This work was completed in 1977 and in that year the bridge was renamed from Runcorn Bridge to the Silver Jubilee Bridge to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee.
Since 1994 the bridge has been illuminated at night by floodlights. Repairs to chloride corrosion of the bridge's deck were carried out in the early 21st century using an innovative electrolytic method
they were shortlisted for the Prime Minister's Award for Better Public Building of 2010
Traffic on the bridge continued to grow to over 80,000 vehicles a day, and there was frequent congestion. In order to alleviate this, a further crossing was built, known as the Mersey Gateway Bridge. This is a six-lane toll bridge to the east of the Silver Jubilee Bridge that opened on 14 October 2017

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M1MDKW - The red telephone box, a telephone kiosk for a public telephone designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, is a familiar sight on the streets of the United Kingdom, Malta, Bermuda and Gibraltar.
Despite a reduction in their numbers in recent years, the traditional British red telephone kiosk can still be seen in many places throughout the UK, and in current or former British colonies around the world. The colour red was chosen to make them easy to spot.
From 1926 onwards, the fascias of the kiosks were emblazoned with a prominent crown, representing the British government. The red phone box is often seen as a British cultural icon throughout the world. In 2006, the K2 telephone box was voted one of Britain's top 10 design icons. In 2009, the K2 was selected by the Royal Mail for their British Design Classics commemorative postage stamp issue
The red telephone box was the result of a competition in 1924 to design a kiosk that would be acceptable to the London Metropolitan Boroughs which had hitherto resisted the Post Office's effort to erect K1 kiosks on their streets.[10]
The Royal Fine Art Commission was instrumental in the choice of the British standard kiosk. Because of widespread dissatisfaction with the GPO's design, the Metropolitan Boroughs Joint Standing Committee organised a competition for a superior one in 1923, but the results were disappointing.
the Fine Arts Commission judged the competition and selected the design submitted by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. The invitation had come at the time when Scott had been made a trustee of Sir John Soane's Museum: his design for the competition was in the classical style, but topped with a dome reminiscent of those designed by Soane for his own family mausoleum in St Pancras Old Churchyard, and for the mausoleum for Sir Francis Bourgeois at Dulwich Picture Gallery, both in London. However, Gavin Stamp thinks it unlikely that Scott was directly inspired by either of these precedents

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55J3K - This image shows exterior signage for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Breakthrough Church, located on St George's Road in Bolton, Greater Manchester. The sign prominently displays the church name, service times, and contact details, serving both as wayfinding and as an invitation to the local community.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God is a global Pentecostal Christian denomination founded in Nigeria and now established across the UK, Europe, and North America. RCCG congregations often play an important role within African and wider Christian communities, providing spiritual support as well as social and community activities.
The Bolton Breakthrough Church operates regular Sunday and midweek worship services, reflecting the vibrant and structured nature of Pentecostal church life. The signage also highlights the church's urban setting, positioned within a mixed-use town-centre environment behind metal railings and adjacent to modern commercial buildings.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering religion in Britain, Pentecostal Christianity, African diaspora communities, urban churches, faith-based organisations, and contemporary religious life in UK towns and cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JFNH8T - Crash at the Silverstone British F1 Grand Prix 03/07/2022 at 1st corner
The race started at 15:00 local time on 3 July. Max Verstappen took the lead at the start from Carlos Sainz Jr., while Lewis Hamilton moved up to third. Zhou Guanyu and George Russell both experienced poor starts and were passed by Nicholas Latifi. Gasly attempted to pass between Zhou and Russell, but Russell moved to the left in an attempt to keep position. Subsequently, Gasly and Russell made contact and caused Russell to lose control and hit Zhou. The impact flipped Zhou's car and he skid across the track upside down. His car bounced over the tyre barrier, hit the protection fence and came to a rest between the fence and tyre barrier. As a result of the incident, Valtteri Bottas slowed slightly, which caused Alexander Albon to also slow. Sebastian Vettel attempted to brake, but was too close to Albon and hit him. Albon spun into the concrete pit wall, rebounded back on the track and was hit by Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon, both of whom received damage but were able to return to the pits. However, Albon was unable to continue. Russell, who had spun, stopped to help the marshalls with Zhou's flipped car. When he returned to his car, he failed to turn the engine on and was forced to retire.
Race control red-flagged the race due to both crashes. Zhou was extracted from his Alfa Romeo and stretchered to an ambulance where he was taken to the race medical centre. Albon was also taken to the race medical centre but was later transferred by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for observations. Both were later released

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JFXKG9 - The race started at 15:00 local time on 3 July. Max Verstappen took the lead at the start from Carlos Sainz Jr., while Lewis Hamilton moved up to third. George Russell had a bad start and was passed by Nicholas Latifi and Zhou Guanyu pulled alongside him leaving a large gap between them. Gasly attempted to pass between Zhou and Russell, but Russell moved to the left too late to close the gap causing his left rear tyre to make contact with Gasly's right front. Gasly backed out but the impact pointed Russell's car to the left shooting him across the track and directly into the side of Zhou's car. The impact launched Zhou's car into the air. He landed upside down, skidding down the track, then skipping and bouncing across the long gravel trap at the end of the straightaway, all while barely slowing and turning sideways. The inverted car suddenly dug into the gravel carrying sufficient speed and momentum to launch it over the tire barrier, rotating 540 degrees on its axis before hitting the catch fencing sideways facing up just a few feet from the front row of the grandstand. It then dropped 8 feet and landed wedged into the small gap between the fence and tire barrier, stopping on its side with the cockpit up against the backside of the tire barrier. As a result of the incident, Valtteri Bottas slowed slightly, which caused Alexander Albon to also slow. Sebastian Vettel attempted to brake, but was too close to Albon and hit him. Albon spun into the concrete pit wall, rebounded back on the track and was hit by Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon, damaging both of their cars. Tsunoda and Ocon both returned to the pit lane for repairs, but Albon was unable to continue. Russell, who had spun, stopped to help the marshalls with Zhou's flipped car. When he returned to his car it was not running so he could not continue.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JG2209 - A high-octane rock and blues outfit that hit like a hurricane, Eddie and The Wolves have been carving out their own unique path for the last few years, dominating the independent scene with a visceral blend of bold, authentic sounds. After first surfacing in 2018 with the release of their titanic debut single ?Love in the City', the band have been winning over fans and critics alike, and in March, they're set to embark on their most explosive tour to date.
Described by Where The Music Does The Talking as a band you must-see live, Eddie and The Wolves have built their sound on a caustic mix of flowing riffs, funky guitar solos, and thunderous percussion, crafting modern blues anthems that shine with a twist of dirty rock ?n' roll brilliance.
Having opened for bands like Slade, Razorlight and Reef, and sharing stages with Arrielle, Adam Slack of The Struts, and Kelsey Karter, Eddie and The Wolves have proved their musical mettle time and time again, and their recently released debut album ?War' has quickly become one of the year's most intoxicating releases. Delivering fourteen tracks that shine with grit, determination, and an undeniably heavy sound.
Described by Stargazer Music Magazine as If Fleetwood Mac had a baby with Biffy Clyro, and that baby was obsessed with Stevie Ray Vaughn, the album is a textured amalgamation of vintage and modern sounds, delivering a whirlwind of originality and colour that soothes the soul, frees the mind, and keeps your utterly entranced.

The structure was a gift from Manchester City Council to the Chinese community, and is adorned with dragons and phoenixes.
After many years exposed to the elements, the arch required restoration work to be undertaken
netting was wrapped around a part of the structure to prevent further tiles from dislodging. The Manchester Chinatown Community Group undertook a series of charity events, including a dry land dragon boat race in June 2012. In early 2013 the archway was repaired by Manchester and Cheshire Construction Company. It is the only one in Europe and regarded as more decorative than the one in San Francisco. Designed and built by a team of engineers from Peking, it is decorated with ceramics, lacquer, paint and gold leaf.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JCW1YR - Appleton Thorn village is the only village in England where the ?Bawming of the Thorn' ceremony takes place on the third Saturday of June each year.
The thorn tree, which stands beside the church, is believed to be an offshoot of the Glastonbury thorn, which grew from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea. Adam de Dutton, a knight of the Crusades and local landowner, brought it to Appleton.
Bawming, which means, decorating the tree with flowers and ribbons, has local children dancing and singing the Bawming song.
Not only does this day offer the local community something special to celebrate, but it also forms one of the main sources of fund raising for local projects that aid the community. In the past Bawming has been able to support:
St Cross Church
Appleton Thorn Village Choir
1st Appleton Thorn Girl Guides
Appleton Thorn Mums & Tots

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JDJ3XP - Fiddlers Ferry Power Station is a decommissioned coal fired power station located in Warrington, Cheshire, North-West England. Opened in 1971, the station had a generating capacity of 1,989 megawatts and took water from the River Mersey. After privatisation in 1990 the station was operated by various companies, and from 2004 by SSE Thermal. The power station closed on 31 March 2020.
With its eight 114-metre (374 ft) high cooling towers and 200-metre (660 ft) high chimney the station is a prominent local landmark and can be seen from as far away as the Peak District and the Pennines
An application to build Fiddler's Ferry Power Station was proposed in 1962.It was built by the Cleveland Bridge Company between 1964 and 1971, and came into full operation in 1973.There are eight cooling towers arranged in two groups of four located to the north and south of the main building. There is a single chimney located to the east of the main building. One of the station's cooling towers collapsed in high winds on 13 January 1984 and was rebuilt. When it was built, the station mainly burned coal mined in the South Yorkshire Coalfield and transported across the Pennines on the Manchester-Sheffield-Wath electric railway. Later the coal was imported.
Between 2006 and 2008 Fiddlers Ferry was fitted with Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant to reduce the emissions of sulphur by 94%, meeting the European Large Combustion Plant Directive. In 2010, the station was being considered for the installation of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) equipment. This would reduce the station's emissions of nitrogen oxides, to meet the requirements of the Industrial Emissions (Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control) Directive. The SCR technology would replace the Separated Over Fire Air (SOFA) technology which was used in the station. The SCR equipment was not fitted due to uncertainty over the future of the plant.
The station was built by the Central Electricity Generating Board CEGB

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3T328 - The Trust was formed in 2017 by like-minded leaders of local primary and secondary schools in Warrington along with Priestley College.
Our intention was to work collaboratively to improve outcomes for children and young people in the Warrington area and this collective responsibility is one we maintain to this day.
Our mission is to serve, challenge and empower the educational community. We enact our mission by providing highly effective services to our academies, supporting strong leadership, investing in the workforce and inspiring our children and young people.
All of our work is underpinned by a set of core values, they are:
Inclusivity and social justice
Educational excellence
Collaboration and interdependence
Challenge and service
Care and sustainability
Celebrating difference
These values inform everything we do as a trust and all of our services and working practices are designed around these concepts.
TCAT is a unique trust, being the first in the country to include primary and secondary academies together with a sixth form college.
TCAT also includes a Church of England High School, Sir Thomas Boteler, whose faith foundation is assured through representation from the Dioceses of Chester and Liverpool.
As an inclusive MAT with a strong moral purpose we are committed to providing an environment and education where every young person is nurtured, challenged and inspired to achieve the very best for themselves and their communities. Young people are at the heart of everything we do.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CBET91 - Sterling banknotes are the banknotes in circulation in the United Kingdom and its related territories, denominated in pounds sterling (symbol: ?
ISO 4217 currency code GBP [Great Britain pound]).
Sterling banknotes are official currency in the United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, British Antarctic Territory, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and Tristan da Cunha in St Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. One pound is equivalent to 100 pence. Three British Overseas Territories also have currencies called pounds which are at par with the pound sterling.
The Bank of England has a monopoly of banknote issuance in England and Wales but, for historic reasons, three banks in Scotland and four banks in Northern Ireland are permitted to issue their own currency ? but the law requires that the issuing banks hold a sum of Bank of England banknotes (or gold) equivalent to the total value of notes issued. Versions of the pound sterling issued by Crown dependencies and other areas are regulated only by local governments and not the Bank of England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFP25 - Lymm Dickensian Christmas Festival takes place in Lymm each year, and spreads good tidings and Christmas cheer!
When does the Lymm Dickensian Festival take place?
The Lymm Dickensian Christmas Festival is an annual event, which has taken place for over a quarter of a century in Lymm Village. It is held on the second Saturday in December and is organised and run by the Lymm Dickensian Charity Committee.
Every year the Lymm community comes together with the support of the Lymm Parish Council to take the village back in time to a different era, when Dickens was alive, and where you might see Ebenezer Scrooge strolling through the streets. All of the community becomes involved, and Father Christmas himself takes time out of his busy pre Christmas schedule to attend the event.
There is a festival parade to entertain visitors, where you will see floats from local schools, vintage cars and horse-drawn carriages and of course Santa and his elves. Throughout the village there will be stalls selling local goods, and spreading Christmas cheer. Punch and Judy also take a turn to entertain, along with jugglers, street performers, musicians and Morris Dancers.
It's all in a good cause
All of the profits raised by the Lymm Dickensian Charity Committee each year are donated to a chosen charity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A989PT - Appleton Thorn is a village in the borough of Warrington in Cheshire, England.
Appleton appeared in the Domesday survey as Epeltune,meaning the tun where the apples grew.
Bawming the Thorn
Each June, the village hosts the ceremony of Bawming the Thorn. The current form of the ceremony dates from the 19th century, when it was part of the village's walking day. It involved children from Appleton Thorn Primary School walking through the village and holding sports and games at the school. This now takes place at the village hall. The ceremony stopped in the 1930s, but was revived by the then headmaster, Mr Bob Jones in the early 1970s. Bawming the Thorn occurs on the Saturday nearest to Midsummer's Day.
Local schoolchildren dance around the tree in the style of a maypole chanting verses to the tune of Bonnie Dundee, with the following repeated chorus:
Up with fresh garlands this midsummer morn,
Up with red ribbons on Appleton Thorn.
Come lasses and lads to the Thorn Tree today
To bawm it and shout as ye bawm it Hurray!
Bawming means decorating ? during the ceremony the thorn tree is decorated with ribbons and garlands. According to legend, the hawthorn at Appleton Thorn grew from a cutting of the Holy Thorn at Glastonbury, which was itself said to have sprung from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea, the man who arranged for Jesus's burial after the crucifixion. Thorn Cross (HM Prison) is in Appleton Thorn, on the site formerly occupied by Royal Naval Air Station HMS Blackcap, a wartime aircrew training and aircraft repair airfield. There are a number of graves of aircrew who died at HMS Blackcap, mainly in flying accidents, in St Cross churchyard, known locally as the war graves.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BGHB36 - A robot is a machine?especially one programmable by a computer? capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically. Robots can be guided by an external control device or the control may be embedded within. Robots may be constructed on the lines of human form, but most robots are machines designed to perform a task with no regard to their aesthetics.
Robots can be autonomous or semi-autonomous and range from humanoids such as Honda's Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) and TOSY's TOSY Ping Pong Playing Robot (TOPIO) to industrial robots, medical operating robots, patient assist robots, dog therapy robots, collectively programmed swarm robots, UAV drones such as General Atomics MQ-1 Predator, and even microscopic nano robots. By mimicking a lifelike appearance or automating movements, a robot may convey a sense of intelligence or thought of its own. Autonomous things are expected to proliferate in the coming decade, with home robotics and the autonomous car as some of the main drivers.
The branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing is robotics. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, or cognition. Many of today's robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. These robots have also created a newer branch of robotics: soft robotics.

Born: November 6, 1948
Died: September 17, 2018
DEREK Watson, who has died aged 69 following a short illness, was a man of many parts and arts. Those who knew the Edinburgh-born renaissance man as an actor performing under the name Derwent Watson at the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow may not have been aware that Watson began his relationship with the Citz as a musical director on Christmas shows, becoming forever known thereafter as Uncle Derek.
Similarly, the youngsters watching Uncle Derek will not have known of Watson's passion for Wagner and other composers he was an authority on, penning several biographies on them, and slipping little classical passages into his compositions for the Citz's festive fare un-noticed. Nor might those who heard Watson give lectures on Wagner and others be aware of his long-standing role as proprietor of a bookshop in West Linton where he lived for more than 20 years, with both he and the shop immortalised in a novel by Alexander McCall Smith.
In 1994, having been a resident in West Linton for a decade, he opened Linton Books. Once he had retired from the theatre, the shop provided him with an alternative stage, ?playing' the proprietor of the shop to entertain customers. Book signings by authors included Alexander McCall Smith, whose second novel in the Sunday Philosophy Club series, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate, published in 2005, found the book's heroine Isabel Dalhousie visiting Derek in his capacity as bookseller. The shop itself featured during the unravelling of the story's mystery.
Being immortalised in such a way was the perfect compliment to Watson, who retained a curiosity for the finer things in life that went beyond his considerable intellect to draw out the fun beneath.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RFF638 - Here's a little insight into the world of D7606
Picking spots is not always easy, a lot of areas like the east end of London are quite saturated with street art, finding a spot without going over other peoples work and tags is always a priority. Being respectful to others work is very important to me. So I like to find new spots and go into areas where no one has been before, I did a series of Bollywood actors and found myself in a busy Southall one night, that was fun. I have been into the urbex spots around Sheffield where the spray can and letters are king, so adding brightly coloured paste ups to those grimy walls is a risk and one I'm glad I have taken, some will approve and others will not but that's the joy of trying new places.
Mostly I am a lover of other peoples work and my photography of that work is how I find different neighbourhoods. Most areas are well know so often I just wander around taking photos, this then gives me that opportunity to do my own work too. I guess my favourite areas right now are Sheffield in the UK and Kreuzberg in Berlin, the back streets are full of grimy walls and doors, a perfect place for paste ups, stickers and tags..
I love those iconic British symbols, ask an American to name an iconic British symbol and a lot will say our red phone box or post box. They featured in my first work and still do in a big way.
Oh yes, I love to take those iconic British symbols abroad, I have travelled a fair bit in the last year- France, Germany and the USA. Hard to say a favourite place really, all have great art and great spots. Overall New York was the most impressive but maybe that was a size thing? It is massive, so much to see and so much good original work around.
Have you ever got in trouble with the police or other people for putting up your work?
Ha? oh no, everything I do is within the law !!! I am sure I have annoyed people with my work, some artists are honest enough to say? stop !! That's too much !! or that latest work

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6XC - Trump Tower is a 58-floor, 664-foot-tall (202 m) mixed-use skyscraper at 721?725 Fifth Avenue in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City,USA,between East 56th and 57th Streets. It serves as the headquarters for the Trump Organization. Additionally, it houses the penthouse condominium residence of businessman, real estate developer, and former U.S. president Donald Trump, who developed the building and named it after himself. Several members of the Trump family also live, or have resided, in the building. The tower stands on a plot where the flagship store of department-store chain Bonwit Teller was formerly located.
Der Scutt of Poor, Swanke, Hayden & Connell designed Trump Tower, and Trump and the Equitable Life Assurance Company (now the AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company) developed it. Although it is in one of Midtown Manhattan's special zoning districts, the tower was approved because it was to be built as a mixed-use development. Trump was permitted to add more stories to the tower in return for additional retail space and for providing privately owned public space on the ground floor, the lower level, and two outdoor terraces. There were controversies during construction, including the destruction of historically important sculptures from the Bonwit Teller store
Trump's alleged underpaying of contractors
and a lawsuit that Trump filed because the tower was not tax-exempt.
Construction on the building began in 1979. The atrium, apartments, offices, and stores opened on a staggered schedule from February to November 1983. At first, there were few tenants willing to move into the commercial and retail spaces
the residential units were sold out within months of opening. After Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent election, the tower saw large increases in visitation, though security concerns required the area around the tower to be patrolled for several years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCGHK4 - Leeds is a city in the metropolitan borough of Leeds, in the county of West Yorkshire, England. The city lies within the United Kingdom's fourth-most populous urban area, with a population of 2.6 million.
Leeds was a small manorial borough in the 13th century, and in the 17th and 18th centuries it became a major centre for the production and trading of wool, and in the Industrial Revolution a major mill town
wool was still the dominant industry, but flax, engineering, iron foundries, printing, and other industries were also important. From being a market town in the valley of the River Aire in the 16th century, Leeds expanded and absorbed the surrounding villages to become a populous urban centre by the mid-20th century.
Leeds has one of the most diverse economies of the all the UK's main employment centres and has seen the fastest rate of private-sector jobs growth of any UK city. It also has the highest ratio of private to public sector jobs of all the UK's Core Cities, with 77% of its workforce working in the private sector. Leeds has the third-largest jobs total by local authority area, with 480,000 in employment and self-employment at the beginning of 2015. Leeds is ranked as a gamma world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. Leeds is the cultural, financial and commercial heart of the West Yorkshire Urban Area. Leeds is served by four universities, and has the fourth largest student population in the country and the country's fourth largest urban economy.
Today, Leeds has become the largest legal and financial centre, outside London with the financial and insurance services industry worth ?13 billion to the city's economy. The Finance and business service sector account for 38% of total output with more than 30 national and international banks located in the city, including an office of the Bank of England. Leeds is also the UK's third-largest manufacturing centre with around 1,800 firms and 39,000 employees.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1EK - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.
In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ6PK - The Black Friar Pub. Post-1903 work by Herbert Fuller-Clark (b.1869, d. after 1912). Original building 1875. Remodelled in several stages beginning 1903, 1914, and 1925. 174 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4. Individual sculptures by Nathaniel Hitch, Frederick Callcott, Henry Poole, and Farmer and Brindley. According to Philip Ward-Jackson,
Hitch was responsible for the stonework grotesques on the exterior, and for a considerable amount of similar work in wood in the interior. Callcott created the pattern for the larger copper relief scenes, representing the day to day activities of the friars. . . . It seems probable that Callcott went on working on those reliefs until shortly before his death in 1925, when the rather more prestigious Henry Poole took over, to produce the relief work in the Small Saloon Bar. One of Callcott's frieze-like panels, entitled Saturday Afternoon, was to be repeated on the screen wall, separating the Luncheon Bar from the Small Saloon Bar, although it looks quite different in its new form, because the figures are much more widely spaced out, and the coloured marbles in the second rendering give it more depth.
Of these artists, Hitch (1841-1935), deserves to be better known. Following an apprenticeship to Farmer and Brindley, he had a very long and distinguished career as a sculptor: his work can be found at Cardiff Castle, suggesting that he was probably a member of William Burges's workforce there, and also in many churches and cathedrals including Truro Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. He was particularly associated with the architects W. D. Car??e and J. L. Pearson.
It is worth noting that the popular London Encyclopaedia disagrees about the dates and artists involved here, stating simply that the building was erected in 1875, the ground floor being remodelled in 1905 by H. Fuller Clark. The outside is covered with mosaics and carved figures by Henry Poole (1903).

The harbour also serves NorthLink Ferries, which sail to Kirkwall, Orkney and Lerwick, Shetland. The Aberdeen Maritime Museum (on Shiprow in the city centre) includes exhibitions and displays which tell the story of the harbour and its role in the economy and development of the city.
Originally, the defective harbour, with a shallow sand and gravel bar at its entrance, retarded the trade of Aberdeen, but under various acts since 1773 it was greatly deepened.
By the Harbour Act of 1868, the river Dee near the harbour was diverted from the south at a cost of ?80,000, and 90 acres (364,000 m?) of new ground, in addition to 25 acres (101,000 m?) formerly made up, were provided on the north side of the river for the Albert Basin (with a graving dock), quays and warehouses. A 1050 ft (320 m) long concrete breakwater was constructed on the south side of the stream as a protection against south-easterly gales. On Girdleness, the southern point of the bay, a lighthouse was built in 1833.
The North Pier, built partly by John Smeaton 1775-81, and partly by Thomas Telford 1810-15, extends nearly 3,000 ft (1000 m) into the North Sea and raised the bar.

murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H5521P - John Gower (c. 1330 ? October 1408) was an English poet, a contemporary of William Langland and the Pearl Poet, and a personal friend of Geoffrey Chaucer.
He is remembered primarily for three major works, the Mirour de l'Omme, Vox Clamantis, and Confessio Amantis, three long poems written in French, Latin, and English respectively, which are united by common moral and political themes.
His tomb is in Southwark Cathedral, London, with the following inscription:
This is the tomb of John Gower (d. 1408). Poet Laureate to Richard II and to Henry IV. Gower has been called the first English poet because, when most literary people wrote in French or Latin, he wrote also in English. He had a house and chapel within the precincts of the Augustinian Priory, (St. Mary Overie), to the north of this Cathedral Church. He left money for the founding of a chantry chapel in which he was buried. This chapel which stood on the north side of the nave was destroyed but the present tomb stands on or near the site on which it was originally built. The head of the effigy rests on three books. Gower wrote Vox Clamantis in Latin, Speculum Meditantis in French and Confessio Amantis in English

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBN6M - Phase 2CC ? Second Manchester Metrolink City Crossing
With increased tram traffic brought about by the expansion of the Metrolink network, it became necessary to build a new route across Manchester City Centre to alleviate congestion and improve capacity.
Known as the Second City Crossing (or 2CC), the project involved laying 0.8 miles (1.3 km) of tram tracks from St Peter's Square tram stop via Princess Street, Albert Square, Cross Street and Corporation Street to rejoin the original Metrolink line just before Victoria station. One new tram stop was built at Exchange Square. The project also involved re-ordering St Peter's Square and re-siting the Cenotaph to accommodate an enlarged tram interchange and junction. Construction began in 2014 and the 2CC route opened fully in February 2017

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ETRXCC - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world.[2]
Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh,[3] the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EDR5W1 - Sterling banknotes are the banknotes in circulation in the British Islands (encompassing the United Kingdom and the British Crown dependencies), denominated in pounds sterling (symbol: ?
ISO 4217 currency code GBP). One pound is equivalent to 100 pence.
The pound is the official currency of the United Kingdom and the Crown dependencies of Britain. Three British Overseas Territories also have currencies called pounds which are at par with the pound sterling.
The Bank of England does act as a central bank in that it has a monopoly on issuing banknotes in England and Wales, and regulates the issues of banks in Scotland.
The issuing of retail-bank banknotes in Scotland is subject to the Bank Charter Act 1844, Banknotes (Scotland) Act 1845, the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928, and the Coinage Act 1971. Pursuant to some of these statutes, the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs publishes an account of the Amount of Notes authorised by Law to be issued by the several Banks of Issue in Scotland, and the Average Amount of Notes in Circulation, and of Bank of England Notes and Coin held in the London Gazette. See for example Gazette Issue 58254 published 21 February 2007 at page 2544

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 ED9DM7 - Barton Arcade is a Victorian shopping arcade in Manchester, England, located between Deansgate and St Ann's Square.
The arcade was listed as a Grade II* listed building on the 25 January 1972. The listing includes the block of shops (Barton's Building) and offices enclosing the arcades. It was constructed by Corbett, Raby and Sawyer in 1871.
Hartwell describes the Barton's Building facade as utterly ignorant.. the ground floor pilasters must be seen to be believed. The arcade, however, is a gorgeous glass and iron shopping arcade with glass domes..., the best example of this type of cast-iron and glass arcade anywhere in the country.
The entrance to the arcade on St Ann's Square incorporates a large, cast iron and glass wall. The two entrances on Deansgate are hidden behind the Barton Building. The building is of four storeys with an attic, a long nine-bay facade to Deansgate, divided in half horizontally by a balustraded balcony. The structure is composed of cast iron and glass. The iron work was supplied by the Macfarlane Saracen Glass Factory in Glasgow. The building was one of the first to be built on the newly widened Deansgate.The arcade was restored in the 1980s. The original shop fronts and decorative floor no longer exist

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 DG395F - 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.

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

Jud Charlton pictured here is a London actor, comedian and ventiliquist, with his alta-ego Philis. A sort of Camden Chucky on sulphate.
Jud has featured in films like Chemical Wedding and has played Ian Dury in 'ABFCAP - The Life and Rhymes of Ian Dury' , playing one of my teen favourites.

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

No, not a typical Saturday night on any British high st, but ladies from the Threesome Theatre looking sexy to attract punters like flies to their flyers advertising 'Berlin Cabaret'. It was on 20-25th August 2012 at The Space On The Mile V39 (venue 39, you are due a Deuchars now arent you??).
As the blurb says 'as our emcee takes you on a journey of decadence and ignorance, let the cabaret girls and boys entertain you in our own slice of 1930's Berlin. Threesome theatre spotlights Berlins cabaret from the day the curtain went up in 1901 to the Nazi regime tore it down. Featuring throbbing music, enticing dancing and naughty original songs.

Many of these books are not the type of thing you might buy, but are good to borrow for a few weeks, then move on to the next lot.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEFD2 - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.
In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BEW1ET - Newcastle upon Tyne commonly known as Newcastle, is a city in Tyne and Wear, North East England, 103 miles (166 km) south of Edinburgh and 277 miles (446 km) north of London on the northern bank of the River Tyne, 8.5 mi (13.7 km) from the North Sea. Newcastle is the most populous city in the North East, and forms the core of the Tyneside conurbation, the eighth most populous urban area in the United Kingdom. Newcastle is a member of the UK Core Cities Group and is a member of the Eurocities network of European cities.
Newcastle was part of the county of Northumberland until 1400, when it became a county of itself, a status it retained until becoming part of Tyne and Wear in 1974. The regional nickname and dialect for people from Newcastle and the surrounding area is Geordie. Newcastle also houses Newcastle University, a member of the Russell Group, as well as Northumbria University. Newcastle is member of the North of Tyne Combined Authority.
The city developed around the Roman settlement Pons Aelius and was named after the castle built in 1080 by Robert Curthose, William the Conqueror's eldest son. The city grew as an important centre for the wool trade in the 14th century, and later became a major coal mining area. The port developed in the 16th century and, along with the shipyards lower down the River Tyne, was amongst the world's largest shipbuilding and ship-repairing centres

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BEW1F0 - The Tyne Bridge is a through arch bridge over the River Tyne in North East England, linking Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead. The bridge was designed by the engineering firm Mott, Hay and Anderson, who later designed the Forth Road Bridge, and was built by Dorman Long and Co. of Middlesbrough. The bridge was officially opened on 10 October 1928 by King George V and has since become a defining symbol of Tyneside. It is ranked as the tenth tallest structure in the city.
The Tyne Bridge was designed by Mott, Hay and Anderson, comparable to their Sydney Harbour Bridge version
The bridge was completed on 25 February 1928, and officially opened on 10 October by King George V and Queen Mary, who were the first to use the roadway, travelling in their Ascot Landau. The opening ceremony was attended by 20,000 schoolchildren who had been given the day off. Movietone news recorded the speech given by the King
The Tyne Bridge's towers were built of Cornish granite and were designed by local architect Robert Burns Dick as warehouses with five storeys. But, the inner floors of the warehouses in the bridge's towers were not completed and, as a result, the storage areas were never used. Lifts for passengers and goods were built in the towers to provide access to the Quayside
they are no longer in use.
The bridge's design uses a parabolic arch.
The bridge was originally painted green with special paint made by J. Dampney Co. of Gateshead. The same colours were used to paint the bridge in 2000

Manchester Town Hall is a Victorian-era, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. The building functions as the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse the town hall was completed in 1877. The building occupies a triangular site facing Albert Square and contains offices and grand ceremonial rooms such as the Great Hall which is decorated with the imposing Manchester Murals by Ford Madox Brown illustrating the history of the city. The entrance and Sculpture Hall contain busts and statues of influential figures including Dalton, Joule and Barbirolli. The exterior is dominated by the clock tower which rises to 87 metres (285 feet) and houses Great Abel, the clock bell.
In 1938, a detached Town Hall Extension was completed and is connected by two covered bridges over Lloyd Street. The town hall, which was granted Grade I listed building status on 25 February 1952[6] is regarded as one of the finest interpretations of neogothic architecture in the United Kingdom

Manchesters second smallest boozer, with room for approximately twenty people including the feisty bar maid. The kind of venue where the music would stop when you walked in - that's if they had room for speakers - but within half an hour you'd be on first name terms with the regulars.
Not exactly a vast array of cocktails (This is more for the beer drinkers and G&T lovers) this is a bar that you hope will stay in Manchester for ever. In fact it's central location, on the busy Portland Street near Manchesters china town, makes it even more surprising that this hasn't been turned into apartments.

baptised 7 March 1671 ? died 28 December 1734) was a Scottish outlaw, who later became a folk hero. The name Roy comes from Gaelic Ruadh meaning Red, and referred to his red hair. Rob Roy was born at Glengyle, at the head of Loch Katrine, as recorded in the baptismal register of Buchanan, Stirling. His parents were Donald Glas MacGregor and Margaret Campbell. He was also descended from the Macdonalds of Keppoch through his paternal grandmother. In January 1693, at Corrie Arklet farm near Inversnaid, he married Mary Helen MacGregor of Comar (1671-1745), who was born at Leny Farm, Strathyre. The couple had four sons: James, Ranald, Coll and Robert (known as Robin Oig or Young Rob). They also adopted a cousin named Duncan.

Broadford (An t-\u00c0th Leathann in Scottish Gaelic), together with nearby Harrapool, is the second-largest settlement on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, lying on the SW corner of Broadford Bay, on the A87 between Portree and the Skye Bridge. Overlooked by the eastern Cuillins, Broadford is in a beautiful tranquil area.
West of Broadford, on the lower slopes of Beinn na Caillich, is Goir a' Bhlair, 'the field of battle'. The battle concerned was apparently a decisive action by the Gaelic Clan Mackinnon against the Vikings.
Broadford was a cattle market until 1812, when Telford built the road from Portree to Kyleakin. Its said that veterans of the Napoleonic Wars settled during the first half of the 19th century. Writing in the middle of the 19th century, Alexander Smith said, 'If Portree is the London of Skye, Broadford is its Manchester.
There is a song by the rock band Jethro Tull called 'Broadford Bazaar' (on the remastered version of the Heavy Horses album) which is named after this town.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JFNH8N - Crash at the Silverstone British F1 Grand Prix 03/07/2022 at 1st corner
The race started at 15:00 local time on 3 July. Max Verstappen took the lead at the start from Carlos Sainz Jr., while Lewis Hamilton moved up to third. Zhou Guanyu and George Russell both experienced poor starts and were passed by Nicholas Latifi. Gasly attempted to pass between Zhou and Russell, but Russell moved to the left in an attempt to keep position. Subsequently, Gasly and Russell made contact and caused Russell to lose control and hit Zhou. The impact flipped Zhou's car and he skid across the track upside down. His car bounced over the tyre barrier, hit the protection fence and came to a rest between the fence and tyre barrier. As a result of the incident, Valtteri Bottas slowed slightly, which caused Alexander Albon to also slow. Sebastian Vettel attempted to brake, but was too close to Albon and hit him. Albon spun into the concrete pit wall, rebounded back on the track and was hit by Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon, both of whom received damage but were able to return to the pits. However, Albon was unable to continue. Russell, who had spun, stopped to help the marshalls with Zhou's flipped car. When he returned to his car, he failed to turn the engine on and was forced to retire.
Race control red-flagged the race due to both crashes. Zhou was extracted from his Alfa Romeo and stretchered to an ambulance where he was taken to the race medical centre. Albon was also taken to the race medical centre but was later transferred by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for observations. Both were later released

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJCCB1 - Ye Cracke is a pub in Rice Street, just off Hope Street, in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. The name is in Old English: the Y is a thorn and the e on the end of Cracke is silent, thus the name is correctly pronounced The Crack. Despite the name, Ye Cracke is a 19th-century pub. The War Office is a small room in the pub, which is the oldest part of the pub.
It has historical connections with The Beatles because it was frequented by John Lennon and his girlfriend Cynthia when they were at art school, as well as the Dissenters, to whom a plaque hangs in the bar.
Thomas Cecil Gray and John Halton conceived the techniques described in their 1946 book A Milestone in Anaesthesia while in the pub.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JFXKG8 - The race started at 15:00 local time on 3 July. Max Verstappen took the lead at the start from Carlos Sainz Jr., while Lewis Hamilton moved up to third. George Russell had a bad start and was passed by Nicholas Latifi and Zhou Guanyu pulled alongside him leaving a large gap between them. Gasly attempted to pass between Zhou and Russell, but Russell moved to the left too late to close the gap causing his left rear tyre to make contact with Gasly's right front. Gasly backed out but the impact pointed Russell's car to the left shooting him across the track and directly into the side of Zhou's car. The impact launched Zhou's car into the air. He landed upside down, skidding down the track, then skipping and bouncing across the long gravel trap at the end of the straightaway, all while barely slowing and turning sideways. The inverted car suddenly dug into the gravel carrying sufficient speed and momentum to launch it over the tire barrier, rotating 540 degrees on its axis before hitting the catch fencing sideways facing up just a few feet from the front row of the grandstand. It then dropped 8 feet and landed wedged into the small gap between the fence and tire barrier, stopping on its side with the cockpit up against the backside of the tire barrier. As a result of the incident, Valtteri Bottas slowed slightly, which caused Alexander Albon to also slow. Sebastian Vettel attempted to brake, but was too close to Albon and hit him. Albon spun into the concrete pit wall, rebounded back on the track and was hit by Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon, damaging both of their cars. Tsunoda and Ocon both returned to the pit lane for repairs, but Albon was unable to continue. Russell, who had spun, stopped to help the marshalls with Zhou's flipped car. When he returned to his car it was not running so he could not continue.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EDR5W4 - Sterling banknotes are the banknotes in circulation in the British Islands (encompassing the United Kingdom and the British Crown dependencies), denominated in pounds sterling (symbol: ?
ISO 4217 currency code GBP). One pound is equivalent to 100 pence.
The pound is the official currency of the United Kingdom and the Crown dependencies of Britain. Three British Overseas Territories also have currencies called pounds which are at par with the pound sterling.
The Bank of England does act as a central bank in that it has a monopoly on issuing banknotes in England and Wales, and regulates the issues of banks in Scotland.
The issuing of retail-bank banknotes in Scotland is subject to the Bank Charter Act 1844, Banknotes (Scotland) Act 1845, the Currency and Bank Notes Act 1928, and the Coinage Act 1971. Pursuant to some of these statutes, the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs publishes an account of the Amount of Notes authorised by Law to be issued by the several Banks of Issue in Scotland, and the Average Amount of Notes in Circulation, and of Bank of England Notes and Coin held in the London Gazette. See for example Gazette Issue 58254 published 21 February 2007 at page 2544

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDM1C8 - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.
In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PAN568 - The Peveril of the Peak, named after Walter Scott's Novel is also a famous pub in central Manchester.
It is also the name of a stagecoach / mailcoach which ued to travel across the Peak District, from Luton to Manchester
Peveril of the Peak (1823) is the longest novel by Sir Walter Scott. Along with Ivanhoe, Kenilworth, and Woodstock this is one of the English novels in the Waverley novels series, with the main action taking place around 1678 in the Peak District, the Isle of Man, and London, and centring on the Popish Plot.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEY9FD - Norton Canes services is a motorway service station on the M6 Toll, in the village of Norton Canes near the towns of Brownhills, Cannock, and Walsall, in Staffordshire, England. It is operated by RoadChef, who has a 25-year lease on the site. The company also uses the site as its head office
Norton Canes services is located on the M6 Toll between junctions T6 and T7, and is positioned so that it can be accessed before reaching the main toll plaza in either direction. It is a single-sided site, unlike a large majority of other service areas which have separate facilities for each direction. For this reason it is possible to do a U-turn at the services
however, it is not possible to avoid the toll in that way.
Unlike most other service areas, where it is illegal for traffic from local roads to use the back entrance to the site, provision has been made at Norton Canes for traffic from the A5 to access the services
