Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F1T9YM - Silent Disco marquee stands beneath mature trees at Disability Awareness Day 2026 in Walton Hall and Gardens, Warrington. A white banner bearing the words SILENT DISCO is attached to the black temporary structure, while plastic windows reveal wireless headphones hanging inside. No dancers or visitors are visible, giving the scene a quiet, faintly melancholy character: a disco without apparent sound, movement or people.
The stillness should not automatically be interpreted as failure or poor attendance. Silent discos operate in sessions, and a photograph records only a fraction of a second. The tent may have been awaiting its next group, pictured before opening, between performances or during a quiet period. Even so, the image offers a wry contrast between promised communal entertainment and the temporarily deserted enclosure.
Silent discos transmit music through wireless headphones rather than loudspeakers. Participants can listen and dance while nearby areas remain quieter, and different channels may offer a choice of music. At a disability event this format can support inclusion by allowing individuals to control volume, remove the headphones when necessary and participate without filling the wider site with amplified sound. The programme described it as a returning chill zone with sensory-friendly music.
Disability Awareness Day, commonly shortened to DAD, was held on Sunday 12 July 2026. Organised by Warrington Disability Partnership, it is promoted as the world's largest voluntary-led, pan-disability, free independent-living exhibition. More than 150 exhibitors were joined by accessible sport, performing arts, arena displays and family entertainment.
The photograph captures the infrastructure behind an inclusive event, but also an unintentionally comic and rather forlorn moment. The bold invitation to a Silent Disco faces an empty patch of grass, leaving the viewer to imagine the music and participants temporarily absent from view.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F1P47E - South Asian dhol drummers identified as Dhol Beats perform in bright summer sunshine during Stockton Heath Walking Day on Saturday 11 July 2026 in Warrington, Cheshire. Wearing pale green shirts and purple shoulder sashes, the musicians play large double-sided barrel drums with wooden sticks. Their movement and powerful percussion bring energy, rhythm and a multicultural character to the traditional village procession.
The group is pictured crossing Victoria Square beside Stockton Heath Police Station, the red-brick Arts and Crafts building behind them. Opened in 1912 as a combined police station, magistrates' court and constables' accommodation, it is now Grade II listed. Shaped gables, sandstone detailing, tall chimneys and a distinctive corner turret provide a historic backdrop to the performance. Traffic lights, direction signs, barriers and spectators place the musicians within the closed public highway.
The dhol is a double-headed drum associated particularly with Punjab and widely used in Punjabi folk music, bhangra, weddings, festivals and celebratory processions. Its loud carrying beat suits outdoor performance, where several players create interlocking rhythms and physical impact. Including South Asian musicians within Walking Day shows how a long-established custom can retain its faith and community roots while becoming more representative of modern Warrington.
Stockton Heath Walking Day is an annual walk of witness involving churches, schools, community organisations, musicians and residents. The 2026 event had faced possible cancellation because of rising costs, reduced official support and the need for volunteers, but community backing enabled it to proceed. Hundreds attended in hot sunny weather, supporting a tradition within the wider Walking Day culture of Warrington and Cheshire communities. The photograph captures celebration, cultural diversity, local heritage and the continuation of a public event through volunteer effort.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F07916 - Colourful Thatchers cider bar installation entertains Formula One spectators at Silverstone Woodlands Campsite during the 2026 British Grand Prix weekend. Five oversized tethered balloon-shaped displays in yellow, orange, red, green and blue rise above wicker-style serving counters, each carrying prominent THATCHERS branding. The centrepiece is a large yellow and orange balloon above the main bar, while green examples flank the scene and a vivid red display adds a strong festival splash of colour. Visitors cross the dry grass in warm evening light as staff serve drinks from the timber-fronted bar beneath strings of festoon bulbs.
The promotional area advertises Thatchers, the family-owned Somerset cider maker based at Myrtle Farm in Sandford, near Winscombe. The company traces its cider-making history to 1904 and is strongly associated with apple growing, orchards and West Country drink production. Visible wording includes The Family Cider Makers and Perfection in Every Drop , presenting the temporary venue as both an outdoor drinks outlet and a brand experience for racegoers staying beside Silverstone Circuit.
Silverstone Woodlands is an official campsite close to Club Corner and Gates 14 and 15, offering camping, glamping, bars, food vendors and live entertainment for major motorsport meetings. During the Formula 1 Pirelli British Grand Prix, held from 2 to 5 July 2026, the site formed part of the wider festival atmosphere surrounding the circuit. The image combines British cider advertising, event hospitality and campsite leisure with the commercial spectacle of a Grand Prix weekend.
The giant hot-air-balloon-style decorations are grounded promotional structures rather than aircraft, creating an eye-catching backdrop for visitors socialising away from the track. Trees, evening sunshine and open grass frame the temporary bar, capturing the relaxed off-circuit experience enjoyed by camping fans after a day of racing

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F0K3GN - Large Monster Energy branded fan activation dominates this view inside Silverstone Circuit during the Formula 1 Pirelli British Grand Prix, held from 2 to 5 July 2026. The temporary two-storey structure is wrapped in the drinks company's distinctive black, fluorescent green and yellow graphics, with a broad viewing terrace above and an open promotional or merchandise space below. Visitors stand behind metal crowd-control barriers while spectators watch from the dry, sunlit grass in front.
The scene reflects the festival-style commercial environment surrounding a modern Formula One weekend, where team clothing, driver products, sponsor installations and interactive attractions form an important part of the spectator experience away from the track. Several fans wear bright papaya, white and darker racing apparel, echoing the intense home support for British McLaren driver Lando Norris. His popularity generated a wave of Lando mania around the circuit, strengthened by the expanded Landostand and the large numbers of supporters dressed in McLaren colours.
Monster Energy's claw logo and lettering provide the strongest visual branding, while the patterned panels, elevated platform, stairs, fencing and event staff give the installation the appearance of a temporary motorsport fan zone. The cloudless blue sky, harsh summer sunlight and parched grass convey the hot, dry conditions experienced by spectators moving between racing sessions, retail points and sponsor attractions.
Silverstone is one of the world's best-known motor-racing venues and hosted the inaugural Formula One World Championship race in 1950. The British Grand Prix now combines elite international competition with concerts, hospitality, branded experiences and fan engagement. This image documents the commercial culture, youthful audience and sponsor-led entertainment surrounding the 2026 event, together with the exceptional popularity of Norris and McLaren among the home crowd

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EPRNM1 - A tattooed female fire performer entertains crowds at Warrington Pride 2026, breathing a dramatic plume of flame while holding a second burning torch. She wears a vivid fringed costume in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, echoing the colours of the LGBTQ+ Pride flag. Her bright red hair, expressive pose and visible body art add to the theatrical character of the performance. A Warrington Pride banner stands behind her beside the Cookhouse outdoor seating at Time Square, firmly locating the scene within the town-centre celebration.
Warrington Pride took place on Saturday 13 June 2026, bringing a programme of performances, community activity and a parade into central Warrington. Participants gathered at Time Square before the parade travelled through the town centre towards Golden Square and Old Market Square. The event celebrated Warrington's LGBTQIA+ community and welcomed residents, visitors, charities, businesses, community groups and allies.
The photograph captures live street entertainment, Pride visibility and the use of public space for an inclusive community festival. Fire eating is a specialist circus and sideshow performance involving controlled flames, trained technique and strict safety measures. The moment shown creates a striking contrast between the orange fire, rainbow costume and brick architecture of the regenerated Time Square development.
This image is suitable for editorial coverage of LGBTQ+ rights, Pride Month, lesbian and gay visibility, transgender and non-binary inclusion, equality, diversity, community cohesion, public festivals, female performers, tattoo culture, circus skills, town-centre events and visitor attractions. It also reflects the celebratory and defiant role of Pride at a time when LGBTQ+ communities continue to campaign against discrimination and for equal treatment, safety and public acceptance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EME6HD - 6 June 2026, this live music photograph shows Black Desert performing on stage at Warrington Music Festival in Warrington town centre, Cheshire, England. The image captures the young North West alternative or grunge band in a full band set-up with vocalist and guitarist at centre stage, drummer behind, bassist to the right and another guitarist to the left, framed by amplifiers, monitors, lighting rigs and a large screen displaying the band's name. Festival branding for Warrington Music Fest is visible on both sides of the stage, placing the performance within a free public town-centre event designed to draw crowds into the local retail and leisure area. The stage appears to be a temporary outdoor festival installation, with surrounding buildings visible beyond the performance area, helping to root the image in an urban shopping and civic setting rather than a conventional indoor venue. The scene has value as a documentary image of emerging grassroots music culture in the North West, showing how local festivals give developing bands a platform in front of a broader public audience. It is also useful for editorial themes around youth culture, live entertainment, gig promotion, town-centre regeneration, community events, local identity and the role of arts programming in boosting footfall for shops, bars and hospitality businesses. Warrington Music Festival has become part of the town's wider seasonal events offer, using central public space to showcase local and regional acts and to strengthen the area's cultural profile. For picture buyers, the combination of a named band, readable stage screen, instruments, performance energy and clearly branded event context makes this suitable for stories about unsigned bands, North West music scenes, independent live performance, cultural tourism, festival listings, entertainment previews and reviews, and the changing relationship between retail destinations and public events in English town centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJD088 - Palace Theatre Manchester on Oxford Street with large exterior posters and red street-level advertising for The Karate Kid The Musical during its May 2026 run. The photograph captures the theatre's prominent corner frontage, yellow brick exterior, pedestrians crossing the street, traffic signs and the surrounding Oxford Road city-centre setting in bright sunny weather. The Palace Theatre is one of Manchester's best-known live entertainment venues, listed by ATG Tickets at 97 Oxford Street, M1 6FT, and Oxford Road Corridor describes it as the Grand Old Lady of Oxford Street , first opened in 1891. The image is useful for editorial coverage of theatre tourism, musical theatre, touring productions, screen-to-stage adaptations, family entertainment, Manchester nightlife, visitor spending, cultural regeneration, the city's evening economy and the role of major venues in supporting hospitality, hotels, restaurants and public transport use. The Karate Kid The Musical brings the well-known 1984 film story to the stage, using nostalgia, martial arts themes, coming-of-age drama and recognisable pop-culture branding to attract audiences. Its Palace Theatre Manchester dates were advertised by ATG as Tuesday 12 May to Saturday 23 May 2026, placing the photograph in the context of a UK touring theatre season. The venue sits close to Manchester Oxford Road railway station and within walking distance of the university corridor, hotels, bars, restaurants and other cultural venues, making it an important part of the city's integrated leisure and transport geography. The wide exterior composition, show banners and visible street activity make the image suitable for features about live performance, ticket sales, cultural footfall, city breaks, theatre marketing, entertainment advertising, arts funding, heritage theatres, Manchester tourism and the continuing appeal of familiar film properties reworked for contemporary stage audiences

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWM71 - Poster for Return to Wrex-Slam , a family friendly Basix Pro Wrestling event advertised in Wrexham, Wales. The colourful promotional flyer shows wrestlers posing around bold black, green and white wrestling-style graphics, with the Basix Pro Wrestling 20th anniversary logo, QR code ticketing, event branding and venue details for Hightown Community Resource stock-photo/gotonysmith-Centre.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>Centre on Fusilier Way, Wrexham. The poster promotes a Saturday 13 June 2026 show with doors at 4pm and first bell at 4.30pm, positioning the event as live sports entertainment for adults, children and families. TicketSource lists BPW: Return to Wrex-Slam! at Hightown Community Resource Centre, Wrexham, LL13 7YF, while Basix Pro Wrestling's own social promotion gives the same event name, date, venue and show timing. The photograph is useful for editorial coverage of Welsh independent wrestling, grassroots sports entertainment, family events, local leisure, community centre performances, Wrexham city centre advertising, fan culture and the continuing appeal of live wrestling outside the major televised promotions. Reflections in the window glass, creases in the poster and the shop-window setting give the image a real documentary street feel rather than a clean publicity graphic. It can illustrate stories about local event promotion, QR code ticketing, small entertainment businesses, community venues, affordable weekend activities, children's entertainment, Welsh pop culture and independent wrestling in towns and cities across the UK. The poster's strong typography, dramatic wrestler portraits, family friendly wording and Wrex-Slam title make it visually clear and commercially useful for stock searches connected with pro wrestling, live shows, sports posters, Wrexham events and North Wales community entertainment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWJP0 - Close-up detail of the word Hi-Fidelity on a vintage-style jukebox, photographed with warm orange and red reflections across glossy black trim and striped retro lettering. The image focuses tightly on the decorative typography rather than the full machine, making it a flexible stock photograph for stories about recorded music, vinyl culture, jukebox design, retro interiors, nostalgia, bars, diners, pubs, cafés, music venues and twentieth-century popular culture. The phrase hi-fidelity, more commonly written high fidelity or hi-fi, refers to sound reproduction intended to be clearer, richer and more accurate than ordinary playback, a term strongly associated with post-war home audio, record players, stereo systems, jukeboxes and the golden age of analogue listening. The image can illustrate the romance of choosing songs from a jukebox, the tactile appeal of physical music technology, the social history of cafés and bars, and the way music machines helped shape youth culture, dating, nightlife and leisure. The close framing, shallow angle and glowing reflections give the photograph a stylish abstract quality, useful for editorial or commercial themes around audio equipment, retro branding, music nostalgia, vintage design, popular entertainment, vinyl records, classic rock and roll, rhythm and blues, soul, pop music and pub culture. Visible details include metallic-looking block letters, parallel orange stripes, dark casing, reflective surfaces and warm ambient light, all suggesting an indoor venue or display setting. With no visible people and no wider location markers, the image works as a generic background or conceptual shot for music articles, playlist features, record collecting, hi-fi culture, vintage electronics, interior design, themed restaurants, classic Americana, British pubs using retro décor, and wider stories about how recorded music moved from jukebox cabinets to streaming platforms while keeping a powerful hold on memory and atmosphere.

The image shows the theatre frontage after dusk, with the distinctive Art Deco style façade, pavement activity, bicycles, passing pedestrians and the bright canopy wording promoting The iconic 80s movie, a spectacular new musical . The central vertical poster and repeated pavement posters make the production branding clear, including the title The Karate Kid and the familiar wax on reference associated with the 1984 film. This is a commercially useful editorial image for themes around Manchester theatre, touring musicals, live entertainment, audience culture, city centre nightlife, visitor economy, leisure spending, popular culture nostalgia and screen-to-stage adaptations. The Palace Theatre is one of Manchester's major receiving houses, close to Oxford Road station and the Oxford Road Corridor, an area linked with performance venues, universities, hotels, restaurants and evening footfall. The low light, glowing signage and open foreground give a strong sense of pre-show atmosphere, night-time economy and cultural life in central Manchester. The photograph may also illustrate the appeal of classic 1980s cinema properties being revived for contemporary theatre audiences, alongside broader stories about musical theatre tours, ticketed events, city centre cultural venues and landmark theatres in UK regional arts. The visible Palace Theatre name, Karate Kid posters and bold canopy message provide clear editorial context without needing a crowd scene. The image suits articles, features and stock uses covering Manchester arts, theatre marketing, nostalgic movie brands, Oxford Street nightlife, touring stage productions, theatre-going, urban leisure, live performance, entertainment listings, family shows and cultural tourism in Greater Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E91E9P - Live music editorial photograph of Psychedelic Porn Crumpets performing at Albert Hall Manchester on 27 February 2026, showing guitarists on stage under dark concert lighting with drums, microphone stands, cables, pedals and spare electric guitars visible across the performance area. The Australian psychedelic rock band, originally formed in Perth, are strongly associated with colourful, high-energy psych rock, fuzz guitar, garage rock, progressive rock textures and fast, distorted live performances. The right-hand performer appears to be singing or playing lead guitar at the microphone, but the individual should only be named as Jack McEwan if confirmed by the photographer's own notes or venue accreditation, because person identity cannot be verified from this image alone.
The image is suitable for editorial coverage of contemporary Australian rock, UK touring, Manchester concerts, live music photography, independent venues, gig culture and psychedelic music. Albert Hall, a Grade II listed former Wesleyan chapel converted into a major Manchester music venue, gives the performance additional cultural context as part of the city's live music scene. The dark background, spotlight, red stage tones and visible instruments create a strong documentary atmosphere, useful for articles about touring bands, guitar music, alternative music, psych rock revival, music journalism, concert reviews, festival line-ups and the experience of live performance.

The image shows two printed pages with bold red and black vertical stripes, a Timperley Bigshorts FC badge and character illustration on one side, and a cut-out official match token number panel and voucher sheet instruction on the other. A handwritten message reading best regards Frank Sidebottom adds extra collectible and documentary interest, making the photograph useful for editorial stories about British alternative comedy, cult memorabilia, Chris Sievey, Manchester cultural history, novelty football culture and the crossover between music, comedy and graphic design. Frank Sidebottom became one of the most distinctive figures in late twentieth century British pop culture, closely associated with Greater Manchester, eccentric live performance, comic invention and DIY creativity. Timperley Bigshorts FC formed part of that extended humorous universe, blending spoof football imagery with fan culture, merchandise and printed ephemera in a way that now appeals strongly to collectors and cultural historians. The visible Umbro reference also places the design within the look and branding language of football kit culture and sponsorship aesthetics familiar from the late 1980s and 1990s. This image is commercially useful for picture buyers needing material on Frank Sidebottom collectibles, Chris Sievey archives, vintage printed memorabilia, signed entertainment ephemera, cult British humour, independent publishing and Manchester creative history. It also suits magazine features, newspaper retrospectives, books, documentaries, museum interpretation, fan archive projects and pieces exploring the afterlife of unusual pop culture objects. The graphic layout, readable text and autograph detail make it a strong stock image for themes of nostalgia & fandom

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8E1AC - Seasick Steve performing live at Albert Hall, Manchester, during his Saturday 16 November 2024 UK tour date, pictured seated on stage playing electric guitar beneath deep blue lighting. The image captures the instantly recognisable American blues and roots musician with his trademark long white beard, cap, sleeveless shirt and relaxed, unvarnished stage presence, creating the kind of intimate, authentic concert scene that editors, picture desks and music writers often look for when covering touring artists, live reviews and venue features. Amplifiers, microphone stands, cables, cases and a shadowy stage setup frame the performance, adding practical documentary detail and reinforcing the working atmosphere of a real gig rather than a polished promo shoot. Albert Hall Manchester, a restored former chapel and one of the city's best-loved live venues, provides a dramatic indoor setting for this rootsy performance, with the dark backdrop and blue wash of light helping the musician stand out against the stage. The photograph suits editorial use around blues, blues rock, Americana, roots music, singer songwriters, touring musicians, live entertainment, Manchester nightlife, northern England culture, UK music venues and documentary concert photography. It also works for broader themes such as veteran performers, enduring live appeal, stripped-back musicianship, characterful stage portraits, independent music culture and authentic gig-going experiences. The seated pose, visible guitar, amp stack and low-light venue mood all help tell the story of a performer whose reputation has long been built on raw sound, personality and road-tested credibility rather than polish, spectacle or gimmickry. Strong searchable themes include live blues guitarist, concert at Albert Hall Manchester, bearded musician on stage, intimate indoor gig, electric guitar performance, UK tour date and atmospheric music venue photography. Fairy lights above the stage add extra visual texture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E5TBNE - Rakel Mjöll Leifsdóttir and Alice Go of Dream Wife perform live at Future Yard, Birkenhead, Merseyside, England, on 2 November 2024. The photograph captures lead vocalist Rakel Mjöll Leifsdóttir at the microphone with one arm raised, bathed in intense red, pink and violet stage lighting, while guitarist Alice Go appears to the left of frame during the same performance. The image conveys the charged atmosphere of a packed grassroots venue gig, with bright LED backlights, saturated colour, deep shadows and a close audience perspective creating a strong sense of immediacy and live energy. Dream Wife are known for a blend of indie rock, punk, post-punk attitude, art-pop style and outspoken feminist themes, and this editorial concert image reflects the theatrical confidence and direct stage presence for which the band are widely recognised on the UK alternative circuit. Future Yard has become one of the best-known independent music venues on the Wirral, combining touring shows with artist development and community cultural activity, making it an important setting for documentary coverage of contemporary live music outside London. The composition is useful for editorial stories about women in rock, live performance, touring musicians, independent venues, nightlife in Merseyside, regional music scenes, grassroots culture, concert photography and modern British alternative music. The vivid lighting, dramatic gesture and visible second band member also make the frame valuable for reviews, gig listings, features on Dream Wife, festival previews, music journalism, arts pages and broader reporting on the survival and importance of smaller UK venues. As a documentary music photograph, it also carries strong editorial appeal for coverage of UK tours, women-led bands, independent culture, live entertainment, stage fashion, audience connection and the visual identity of contemporary alternative performance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E5TBNG - Rakel Mjöll Leifsdóttir, vocalist with Icelandic-British indie punk band Dream Wife, performs live on stage at Future Yard, Birkenhead, Merseyside, England, on 2 November 2024. The image captures a close-up portrait at the microphone under saturated pink and magenta concert lighting, with stage haze, bright backlights and a soft neon wash creating a vivid small-venue atmosphere. Dream Wife are widely associated with a high-energy mix of indie rock, punk, post-punk edge, art-pop styling and feminist lyrical themes, and this photograph conveys the immediacy and personality that have made the band a notable live act on the UK alternative circuit. The picture shows the singer framed tightly against the glow of the lighting rig, with expressive hand placement, direct focus and a strong sense of stage presence, making it well suited to editorial use around live performance, women in rock, touring bands, contemporary guitar music and independent music culture. Future Yard has become one of the best-known grassroots venues on the Wirral, combining live music, artist development and community cultural activity, and hosting established touring acts alongside emerging talent. As a documentary concert image, this frame also speaks to wider themes of grassroots venue survival, regional nightlife, audience intimacy, alternative fashion, pop-punk revival, DIY music scenes and the continuing importance of smaller independent spaces outside London for British and visiting artists. The colour, mood and tight composition give the image strong visual impact for coverage of gigs, festival previews, music journalism, entertainment pages, tour promotion, band features and Merseyside arts coverage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKP0CF - Colourful section of the Liverpool Wall of Fame mural portrays Lily Savage, the sharp-tongued drag persona created and performed by Birkenhead-born entertainer Paul O'Grady. Painted across textured brickwork at the ACC Liverpool campus, the portrait shows Lily with her trademark towering platinum-blonde hairstyle, dramatic make-up, sparkling jewellery and leopard-print costume. Bold rainbow colours, the word Liverpool , a Stanley Street sign and references to Scouse humour surround the central figure, linking the artwork with the city region's comedy, nightlife, LGBTQ+ culture and entertainment history.
The mural was created by contemporary artist Joseph Venning and unveiled on Liverpool's waterfront in 2024. Developed by ACC Liverpool and local gallery dot-art, with support from Liverpool BID Company's Art & Culture Fund, the work stretches for more than 40 metres beside Exhibition Centre Liverpool and the Pullman Hotel. Its collage-inspired design celebrates people and places associated with Merseyside across music, sport, comedy, drama and visual art.
Paul O'Grady developed Lily Savage in the late 1970s before establishing the character through clubs, theatres, television and radio. Lily's outspoken working-class humour, glamorous appearance and fearless stage presence made her one of Britain's most recognisable drag characters. O'Grady later became a successful broadcaster, writer and animal-welfare campaigner in his own name, while Lily remained an important figure in British LGBTQ+ entertainment and popular culture.
This mural detail provides a vivid editorial image for Liverpool tourism, queer heritage, drag performance, public art, comedy, television history, cultural regeneration and waterfront placemaking. It also reflects the wider contribution of Merseyside performers to British entertainment and the use of large-scale street art to create an engaging welcome for visitors arriving at the arena, convention and exhibition district.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4M62 - Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone and its Formula One hospitality entrance beside Hamilton Straight during the British Grand Prix weekend. The photograph shows the modern trackside hotel, prominent Hilton Garden Inn branding and a large hospitality enclosure as racegoers walk through the Silverstone complex beneath an overcast summer sky. The hotel's position directly alongside the circuit places guests and corporate visitors close to the starting grid, pit lane activity and some of the most important action of the race weekend.
Hilton describes the property as being located on Hamilton Straight, with panoramic Silverstone views, track-view bedrooms, an on-site restaurant and a rooftop bar. During the Formula One British Grand Prix, the hotel also supports Starting Grid hospitality packages positioned opposite the pits. These premium experiences can include shared or private suites, viewing balconies, all-day dining and open-bar service, combining accommodation, food, business entertainment and close-up views of international motor racing.
The scene illustrates the commercial scale of modern Formula One hospitality. Major race weekends attract sponsors, businesses, invited guests and affluent spectators willing to pay for convenient accommodation and exclusive trackside access. Hotel rooms and hospitality packages at Silverstone can be in especially high demand, reflecting limited circuit-side capacity and the value attached to views over Hamilton Straight.
This editorial image suits themes involving Formula One tourism, corporate hospitality, premium sporting experiences, motorsport business, trackside hotels, event accommodation and the high cost of attending major international sport. The branded entrance, streams of spectators and imposing hotel exterior document how Silverstone has developed beyond a racing circuit into a broader leisure, conference and hospitality destination.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RTJRXM - St Paul's Church is a Church of England parish church located in Bedford Street, Covent Garden, central London. It was designed by Inigo Jones as part of a commission for the 4th Earl of Bedford in 1631 to create houses and buildings fit for the habitations of Gentlemen and men of ability. As well as being the parish church of Covent Garden, the church has gained the nickname of the actors' church by a long association with the theatre community.
Completed in 1633, St Paul's was the first entirely new church to be built in London since the Reformation. Its design and the layout of the square have been attributed to Inigo Jones since the 17th century, although firm documentary evidence is lacking. According to an often repeated story, recorded by Horace Walpole, Lord Bedford asked Jones to design a simple church not much better than a barn, to which the architect replied Then you shall have the handsomest barn in England
The temple front with a portico on the square has never in fact been the main entrance, although this may have been Jones's first intention. The altar lies behind this wall, and the entrance is at the far end to this. The stone facing of this facade is also later
originally it was apparently brick with stucco. The other sides of the building remain brick, with details in stone. The triangular pediments at both ends are in wood.
St Paul's connection with the theatre began as early as 1663 with the establishment of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, and was further assured in 1723 with the opening of Covent Garden Theatre, now the Royal Opera House.
On 9 May 1662, Samuel Pepys noted in his diary the first Italian puppet play under the portico”the first recorded performance of Punch and Judy, a fact commemorated by the annual MayFayre service in May.
The portico of St Paul's was the setting for the first scene of Shaw's Pygmalion, the play that was later adapted as My Fair Lady.

The composition gives designers scope for captions, page furniture, social media crops, report covers and article thumbnails, while the detailed captioning makes it more discoverable for searches using both specific place names and broader themes. It also has a useful contemporary feel, because it shows how long-standing places, policies, products or institutions are encountered by ordinary people in daily life.

The picture is not just a record shot: it contains the vehicle livery, route branding, boarding point and street setting that make the public transport subject specific rather than generic. Mathew Street and the Cavern Quarter are inseparable from Beatles tourism, live music heritage, pub culture and Liverpool's visitor economy, with the narrow streets often busy on summer days. It could support features on pubs, beer, leisure, nightlife, tourism, heritage streets, local economies, independent hospitality and the pressures facing town-centre venues. For image buyers, the value is in the combination of recognisable subject, readable wording, location evidence and a plain documentary style that can be dropped into news, magazine, web, council, housing, transport, heritage or commercial commentary without looking over-produced. Searchable related phrases include Matthew St, Beatles, famous, street, Cavern, Liverpool, crowded, popular, bars, sunny, city, tourism, plus wider ideas such as local identity, public realm, urban detail, social history, commercial change, everyday Britain, documentary photography and place-based storytelling. The composition gives designers scope for captions, page furniture, social media crops, report covers and article thumbnails, while the detailed captioning makes it more discoverable for searches using both specific place names and broader themes. It has value for both local and national stories, especially where writers need to connect a named place or object with wider economic, social, environmental or cultural change. Further SEO-friendly usage could include local services, town-centre change, heritage branding

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RH8AFD - Odeon Cinema Harrogate, North Yorkshire
East Parade, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG1 5LB
Designed by: Harry Weedon and W Calder Robson
Built: 1936
Standing on the corner of East Parade and Station Avenue in the North Yorkshire town of Harrogate is arguably one of Britain's finest Modernist cinema buildings. Today, the building survives as part of the Odeon cinema chain after eight decades of continuous use as a working cinema.
The Odeon company traces its history back to 1930 when the firm established by Oscar Deutsch (1893-1941) opened its first cinema bearing the Odeon name, at Perry Barr in Birmingham, on 4 August 1930. The company saw its greatest period of expansion during the 1930s, as the increasing popularity of cinema-going allowed Deutsch to open in excess of 250 cinemas prior to the Second World War.
Like the majority of Odeon's cinemas, the Odeon Harrogate was built in the Streamlined Moderne style and was a product of the Weedon Partnership. Harry Weedon (1887-1970) became involved with the Odeon chain in 1934 and his company produced designs for some of the finest buildings of the period.
The dominant feature of the Odeon Harrogate's design is a central brown-brick tower, with a projecting, taller 'fin' clad in biscuit-coloured faience tiles. At the top of the fin 'cinema' is spelt out in slender, sans-serif lettering. The tower is set in front of the main auditorium, of which the uppermost section is visible behind the tower. The top section is broken with projecting bands of darker brown brick, and the bands continue down the face of the tower on its southern face.
The northern range of the cinema (to the left when viewed face-on) comprises a five-bay, four-storey block clad in the same biscuit-coloured faience, save for the base of the building, which is clad in black faience. The faience tiles are rectangular and are set in pairs horizontally, with thin joints between the paired tiles, and thicker, more prominent horizontal joints

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 façades 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 2RE4716 - The Plaza cinema opened its doors on December 14, 1929. The architects were William and Segar Owen. They would also go on to design The Regal in the town.
The exterior was described as being severe in character. There was a rough cast finish relieved by by a central entrance, leaded light windows, a wrought iron and glass canopy sheltering all doorways and an effective Won Lite electric sign on a high facade over the main entrance.
There was a mahogany paybox occupying a central position flanked by two doors leading to the auditorium. Two staircases took patrons to the balcony area.
The auditorium was decorated in blue and orange. Fibrous plastering and colouring was carried out by Warrington firm Winstanley and Company.
Stage lighting was supplied by Holophane. In the 1960s it became a bingo club until 2011.
In the operating box there were two Kalee 8 machines and British Talking Picture (BTP) sound system.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PR - This image shows winners of a charity auction posing with illustrated pub signs from The Petrol Head, a themed pop-up pub at Silverstone Woodlands camping during the 2023 Formula 1 British Grand Prix weekend.
The Petrol Head pub formed part of the temporary festival-style facilities provided for F1 fans staying at the Woodlands campsite near Silverstone Circuit.
As part of the event, a selection of bespoke, illustrated pub signs created specifically for the pop-up venue were auctioned to raise money for charity.
The auction took place during the race weekend, with all proceeds from the sale of the signs donated to charitable causes supported by the organisers.
Such charity auctions are a regular feature of large UK motorsport camping events, combining memorabilia, fan engagement, and fundraising in an informal social setting.
The two winning bidders are shown holding their purchased signs immediately after the auction, marking both the fundraising success and the temporary nature of the installation.
The event highlights how major sporting weekends such as the British Grand Prix often include community-focused fundraising activities alongside entertainment and hospitality.
While the pub itself existed only for the duration of the F1 weekend, the auctioned signs became lasting keepsakes linked to a specific moment in the 2023 British Grand Prix.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG60X6 - Godalming Borough Hall is a municipal building in Bridge Street in Godalming, England. The building is the meeting place of Godalming Town Council.
Following significant population growth, especially after the London and South Western Railway reached the town in 1849, the area became a municipal borough with the Pepper Pot as its town hall in 1875. In May 1907 tenders were invited from contractors to extend the public hall in Bridge Street to the west to create new municipal buildings for the borough. The extension was built in red brick with stone dressings and the work was completed in 1908. The design of the enlarged structure involved an asymmetrical main frontage with ten bays facing onto Bridge Street
the central section of three bays, which slightly projected forward, featured arcading on the ground floor, three sash windows with stone surrounds on the first floor and a pediment above with an oculus in the tympanum. The left hand section featured, in the central bay, a doorway with a canopy on the ground floor and a panel containing the borough coat of arms on the first floor. The right hand section featured, in the end bay which slightly projected forward, a round headed doorway on the ground floor and a tri-part sash window on the first floor with a pediment above.
The building continued to serve as the meeting place of Godalming Borough Council for much of the 20th century, but ceased to be the local seat of government when Waverley Borough Council was formed with its headquarters in Guildford in 1974. Waverley Council moved to new council offices in The Burys just behind the borough hall in 1980. The borough hall subsequently became the meeting place for Godalming Town Council.
Works of art in the borough hall include a portrait by Godfrey Kneller of the locally-born sailor, Admiral Sir John Balchen, who became governor of the Greenwich Naval Hospital in March 1743

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K967KB - Pick-your-own pumpkins offer diversified income channels
The market for pumpkins in the UK has seen a huge growth in the past decade, with the public increasingly looking for an on-farm experience and to buy directly from producers.
Pumpkins can offer significant additional income for farmers if done well, especially when accompanied by other value-added extras such as refreshments or attractions.
There are two main markets “ either selling direct to the consumer or wholesale. Each has its benefits and challenges.
When growing for wholesale, there are often extra costs for grading, on-farm storage and transport. The labour-intensive harvest process for wholesale at scale will also need seasonal labour, stock-photo/gotonysmith-Which.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>which can be difficult to find.
Selling direct to consumers poses other challenges, including public access to the farm.
Pumpkin seeds can be planted indoors from mid- to late April, however it is more common to plant seeds and seedlings outdoors from May to early June.
Lack of fruit can be an issue and diseases include powdery mildew and grey mould. Pumpkins can also suffer in very wet seasons and may need irrigation during a dry summer.
Will John and Chris Creed, consultants at agricultural adviser Adas, say that the market is becoming saturated in some regions of the UK. However, businesses can still be profitable if they are able to market effectively.
What are the essential requirements and costs?
Mr Creed says: To be successful, you have got to have infrastructure, hard car parking, booking systems, strong social media campaigns and good road access.
A potentially less risky option is to grow for an existing business, which may have already invested in the infrastructure to cater for the public.
Some farm shops and garden centres have very good infrastructures to accommodate the public, but they haven't got much ground. So they may be able to grow some and then stock up from a local grower, which can be a win-win situation for everybody,

The market for pumpkins in the UK has seen a huge growth in the past decade, with the public increasingly looking for an on-farm experience and to buy directly from producers.
Pumpkins can offer significant additional income for farmers if done well, especially when accompanied by other value-added extras such as refreshments or attractions.
There are two main markets “ either selling direct to the consumer or wholesale. Each has its benefits and challenges.
When growing for wholesale, there are often extra costs for grading, on-farm storage and transport. The labour-intensive harvest process for wholesale at scale will also need seasonal labour, stock-photo/gotonysmith-Which.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>which can be difficult to find.
Selling direct to consumers poses other challenges, including public access to the farm.
Pumpkin seeds can be planted indoors from mid- to late April, however it is more common to plant seeds and seedlings outdoors from May to early June.
Lack of fruit can be an issue and diseases include powdery mildew and grey mould. Pumpkins can also suffer in very wet seasons and may need irrigation during a dry summer.
Will John and Chris Creed, consultants at agricultural adviser Adas, say that the market is becoming saturated in some regions of the UK. However, businesses can still be profitable if they are able to market effectively.
What are the essential requirements and costs?
Mr Creed says: To be successful, you have got to have infrastructure, hard car parking, booking systems, strong social media campaigns and good road access.
A potentially less risky option is to grow for an existing business, which may have already invested in the infrastructure to cater for the public.
Some farm shops and garden centres have very good infrastructures to accommodate the public, but they haven't got much ground. So they may be able to grow some and then stock up from a local grower, which can be a win-win situation for everybody,

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K7NBK6 - Street performance or busking is the act of performing in public places for gratuities. In many countries, the rewards are generally in the form of money but other gratuities such as food, drink or gifts may be given. Street performance is practiced all over the world and dates back to antiquity. People engaging in this practice are called street performers or buskers in the United Kingdom. Outside of New York, buskers is not a term generally used in American English.
Performances are anything that people find entertaining, including acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, caricatures, clowning, comedy, contortions, escapology, dance, singing, fire skills, flea circus, fortune-telling, juggling, magic, mime, living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, snake charming, storytelling or reciting poetry or prose, street art such as sketching and painting, street theatre, sword swallowing, ventriloquism and washboarding.
The first recorded instances of laws affecting buskers were in ancient Rome in 462 BC. The Law of the Twelve Tables made it a crime to sing about or make parodies of the government or its officials in public places
the penalty was death. Louis the Pious excluded histriones and scurrae, which included all entertainers without noble protection, from the privilege of justice. In 1530 Henry VIII ordered the licensing of minstrels and players, fortune-tellers, pardoners and fencers, as well as beggars who could not work. If they did not obey they could be whipped on two consecutive days.
In the United States under constitutional law and most European common law, the protection of artistic free speech extends to busking. In the U.S. and many countries, the designated places for free speech behaviour are the public parks, streets, sidewalks, thoroughfares and town squares or plazas

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M4K87G - Hackney Empire is a theatre on Mare Street, in the London Borough of Hackney. Originally designed by Frank Matcham it was built in 1901 as a music hall, and expanded in 2001. Described by The Guardian as ˜the most beautiful theatre in London' it is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
Hackney Empire is a grade II* listed building. The theatre was built as a music hall in 1901, designed by the architect Frank Matcham. Architecture scholar Nicholas Pevsner described the splendid Hackney Empire, with its ornate terracotta exterior and sumptuous seventy-seven galleried auditorium as a key example of Victorian and Edwardian architecture. There is a statue of Thalia, the Greek muse of comedy, on the roof of the theatre: this was removed in 1979, but later reinstalled.
ATV bought the theatre to use as studios in the mid-1950s and shows such as Take Your Pick and Oh, Boy! were broadcast live. Certain episodes of Opportunity Knocks were also filmed at the theatre. Some scenes from Emergency “ Ward 10 were also filmed there. From 1963 to 1984, the theatre was used by the Mecca Organisation as a bingo hall
wrestling matches also occurred there during the 1960s.
In 1984, Mecca found the building too expensive to maintain as a bingo hall, and it was offered to Cartoon Archetypical Slogan Theatre (CAST), a satirical touring theatre group, headed by Claire and Roland Muldoon, as a London base. They also mounted successful variety nights headlined by a new breed of alternative comedy acts, such as Ben Elton, Dawn French, and Jennifer Saunders.
The theatre was threatened with demolition, and in 1986, actor-manager Roland Muldoon mounted a campaign to acquire the freehold and to re-open the Hackney Empire as a permanent performance space
allowing the theatre to return to theatrical use for its 85th anniversary.

Opened in 1878, it is a Grade II* listed building, operated by Blackpool Entertainment Company Limited[2] on behalf of Blackpool Council, which purchased the property from Leisure Parcs Ltd as part of a £40 million deal in 2010.
The Winter Gardens has hosted the annual conferences of British political parties and trade unions and its owners claim that every Prime Minister since World War II has addressed an audience at the venue.
It has also hosted the Blackpool Dance Festival since its inception in 1920, and the World Matchplay darts tournament since 1994. The annual dance competitions Miss Dance of Great Britain and Dance Master UK are hosted there annually.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JREBKE - A table dance, or bartop dance, is a dance performed at (or on) a table or bar, as opposed to on a stage. It may be an erotic dance performed by a sex worker or it may be done as a leisure activity.
Sex work
In some jurisdictions, a table dance may be an alternative to a lap dance, due to laws preventing exotic dancers from making contact with customers. For example, in Waterloo, Ontario, a table dance is performed on a small portable platform the dancer takes around to patrons' tables. The Windmill Theatre in Soho, London operated as a strip club from the 1990s until 2018. The club's licensing conditions included a no touching rule and the club had a licence for striptease, pole-dancing and table dancing.
Establishments
Bartop dancing is encouraged at Coyote Ugly's chain of bars
Similar is the bartop dance, performed for the entertainment of those seated at the bar. The film Coyote Ugly ushered in a fad of bartop dancing establishments. Set in New York City's bar of the same name, several establishments around the city (e.g. Coyote Ugly, Hogs and Heifers, Red Rock West Saloon, Doc Holliday's Saloon) actively encouraged women to jump on the bar and dance, contributing to an Anything Goes atmosphere. Hogs and Heifers encourages dancers to leave their brassiere hanging from the ceiling to commemorate their dance. However, table dancing is forbidden at many events and establishments

Exactly two years after his death, two magnificent murals were unveiled in memory of the great Sir Ken Dodd “ on the wall of the theatre he helped save.
The murals now adorning the Liverpool Royal Court were commissioned by The Comedy Trust and created by the artist Paul Curtis, best known for his Liverbird wings mural.
Lady Anne Dodd “ who performed the emotional ceremony “ told the ECHO: They are just amazing, absolutely amazing. I'm humbled. I'm thrilled to bits. I woke up sad this morning because it's a sad day in one way, but this just shows he brought happiness.
Ken would have felt humbled “ he would have said it was tattyfilarious, plumptious and ˜I'm totally discomknockerated!'
The first of the bright and colourful murals shows a sharply dressed Doddy, tickling stick in hand, by the seaside, in reference to Blackpool but also his love of playing seaside theatres all over the country.
The second features a couple of Diddy Men and words from the Squire of Knotty Ash's trademark song “ Happiness, which was sung by the Liverpool Royal Court Community Choir, as a big crowd gathered outside the theatre for the unveiling.
Lady Anne added: They couldn't be in a better place. They will be seen by so many people “ walking by or going past on buses “ and hopefully they will make people smile.
The murals were funded by the Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson with a contribution from his City Fund.
Sir Ken, who performed at the Royal Court across several decades, starting in the 1950s, played a huge part in keeping the theatre open in the 1970s.
In 1974, he entered the Guinness Book of Records thanks to his Marathon Mirthquake at the theatre “ it lasted three hours, 30 minutes and six seconds and included 1,500 jokes.
Later, he became part of the Royal Court Theatre and Arts Trust “ and even sold the first tickets at the box office for Laughter Show

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8DJE4 - Patrick Kavanagh (21 October 1904 “ 30 November 1967) was an Irish poet and novelist. His best-known works include the novel Tarry Flynn, and the poems On Raglan Road and The Great Hunger. He is known for his accounts of Irish life through reference to the everyday and commonplace
Patrick Kavanagh was born in rural Inniskeen, County Monaghan, in 1904, the fourth of ten children of James Kavanagh and Bridget Quinn
Kavanagh's first published work appeared in 1928[7] in the Dundalk Democrat and the Irish Independent. Kavanagh had encountered a copy of the Irish Statesman, edited by George William Russell, who published under the pen name AE and was a leader of the Irish Literary Revival. Russell at first rejected Kavanagh's work but encouraged him to keep submitting, and he went on to publish verse by Kavanagh in 1929 and 1930. This inspired the farmer to leave home and attempt to further his aspirations. In 1931, he walked 80 miles (abt. 129 kilometres) to meet Russell in Dublin, where Kavanagh's brother was a teacher. Russell gave Kavanagh books, among them works by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Victor Hugo, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Robert Browning, and became Kavanagh's literary adviser. Kavanagh joined Dundalk Library and the first book he borrowed was The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot.
Kavanagh's first collection, Ploughman and Other Poems, was published in 1936. It is notable for its realistic portrayal of Irish country life, free of the romantic sentiment often seen at the time in rural poems, a trait he abhorred. Published by Macmillan in its series on new poets, the book expressed a commitment to colloquial speech and the unvarnished lives of real people, which made him unpopular with the literary establishment. Two years after his first collection was published he had yet to make a significant impression. The Times Literary Supplement described him as a young Irish poet of promise rather than of achievement

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M8DJE9 - Con Houlihan (6 December 1925 “ 4 August 2012) was an Irish sportswriter. Despite only progressing to national journalism at the age of 46, he became the greatest and the best-loved Irish sports journalist of all
Over a lengthy career, Houlihan covered many Irish and international sporting events, from Gaelic football and hurling finals, to soccer and rugby World Cups, the Olympics and numberless race meetings inside and outside Ireland.
He was a journalist with the Irish Press group writing for The Irish Press, Evening Press and sometimes The Sunday Press, until the group's demise in 1995. He wrote the Tributaries column and Evening Press back sports page Con Houlihan column
Houlihan died in the morning of 4 August 2012 in St James's Hospital in Dublin. Often considered one of Ireland's finest writers, he left behind a legacy of immense sports journalism that spanned over 60 years. A minute's silence was observed in his memory ahead of Kerry's All-Ireland Senior Football Championship quarter-final defeat to Donegal at Croke Park the following day. His last column, in which he wished Katie Taylor well, was published the day after his death.[6] His funeral took place on 8 August 2012
A bronze bust of Houlihan was unveiled in his hometown of Castleisland in 2004. In 2011, a bronze plaque was installed outside The Palace bar in Dublin. The sculpture is in the foyer of The Bank pub on College Green. Cons Corner and a Bronze Bust with a quote are in The Palace Bar.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DC9382 - Sir Kenneth Arthur Dodd OBE (8 November 1927 “ 11 March 2018) was an English comedian, singer and occasional actor. He was described as the last great music hall entertainer, and was primarily known for his live stand-up performances.
A lifelong resident of Knotty Ash in Liverpool, Dodd's career as an entertainer started in the mid-1950s. His performances included rapid and incessant delivery of often surreal jokes, and would run for several hours, frequently past midnight. His verbal and physical comedy was supplemented by his red, white and blue tickling stick prop, and often introduced by his characteristic upbeat greeting of How tickled I am! He interspersed the comedy with songs, both serious and humorous, and with his original speciality, ventriloquism. He also had several hit singles primarily as a ballad singer in the 1960s, and occasionally appeared in dramatic roles. He performed on radio and television, and popularised the characters of the Diddy Men.
Dodd was described as the last great music hall entertainer.[14] His stand-up comedy style was fast and relied on the rapid delivery of one-liner jokes. He said that his comic influences included other Liverpool comedians like Arthur Askey, Robb Wilton, Tommy Handley and the cheeky chappy from Brighton, Max Miller
Dodd had many hit records, charting on 18 occasions in the UK Top 40, including his first single Love Is Like a Violin (1960), produced on Decca Records by Alex Wharton, which charted at number 8 (UK). His version of Bill Anderson's song Happiness charted in 1964 and became Dodd's signature song

After being a bingo hall for many years, it has now been restored as a cinema and theatre, showing classic films and staging live shows
The building is in the Art Deco style, it was constructed in 1932 to a design by William Thornley. It opened as a cine-variety venue. It had an original seating capacity of 1878 (other sources say 1848)- and in its restored state has 614 seats in the stalls, 318 in the front circle and 254 in the rear circle (the balcony). The site involved cutting into the rock.
Compton Theatre Organ
To possess an original Compton Organ is rare, but the Plaza organ is notable in its own right. It was the first Compton Theatre Organ to be built with sunburst decorative glass panels. These can be illuminated in a range of colours.
The Compton organ is a three manual instrument with a unique 150 stop tab layout which was designed for the Plaza and her sister cinema by Norman Cocker the resident organist from Manchester Cathedral and Arthur Ward one of the original Directors of the Stockport Plaza. It has in addition 42 toe and thumb pistons. There are 11 ranks of pipes situated in 2 chambers, one over the other to the right of the stage. These are concealed behind the decorative grill in the wall. There is no electric amplification, as the sound is produced acoustically straight from the organ pipes. The console is on a lift so that it can rise out of the floor, adding to the theatrical effect. As there is no amplification the organist controls the volume using swell pedals that operate shutters in the grill. It was played before shows, and during silent movies, variety acts and musical interludes between films. The organ can supply a large range of effects from sleigh bells to aircraft and sea sounds

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGEN3 - The Printworks entertainment venue is located on the revamped Withy Grove site of the business premises of the 19th century newspaper proprietor Edward Hulton, established in 1873 and later expanded. Hulton's son Sir Edward Hulton expanded his father's newspaper interests and sold his publishing business based in London and Manchester to Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Rothermere when he retired in 1923. Most of the Hulton newspapers were sold again soon afterwards to the Allied Newspapers consortium formed in 1924 (renamed Kemsley Newspapers in 1943 and bought by Roy Thomson in 1959).
Earlier names of the buildings associated with publishing that were incorporated into the development include Withy Grove Printing House, the Chronicle Buildings, Allied House, Kemsley House, Thomson House and Maxwell House. Kemsley House on the corner of Withy Grove and Corporation Street was developed gradually from 1929 and became the largest newspaper printing house in Europe. The site housed a printing press until 1986. Robert Maxwell bought the property and subsequently closed it down The building was left unused for over a decade and fell derelict.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9PJ - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9RN - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ5MJ - The medieval Glasgow Cross was located on the road between High Street and Saltgait. Its modern replacement was built to the south-east of the original location to aid traffic. The town's tron was placed on the steeple of the town house in the 1550s. The Tron Steeple, as it became known, still stands in Glasgow Cross, one of the few remaining pre-Victorian buildings in Glasgow.
The area now known as 'Merchant City' was developed from the 1750s onwards. Residences and warehouses of the wealthy merchant tobacco lords (who prospered in shipping and, amongst other things, tobacco, sugar and tea) were built in the area. The district west of the High Street formed the historic backbone of the city, the development of what is now known as with wide, straight streets, vistas, and squares, marked the beginning of a process of aspirational residential movement westwards that would continue throughout the 19th century and into the 20th with the development of Blythswood Hill, Hillhead and the West End of Glasgow.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DFEA - The Old Vic is a theatre located just south-east of Waterloo Station in London on the corner of The Cut and Waterloo Road. Established in 1818 as the Royal Coburg Theatre, it was taken over by Emma Cons in 1880 when it was known formally as the Royal Victoria Hall. In 1898, a niece of Cons, Lilian Baylis assumed management and began a series of Shakespeare productions in 1914. The building was damaged in 1940 during air raids and it became a Grade II* listed building in 1951 after it reopened.
It was also the name of a repertory company that was based at the theatre and formed the core of the National Theatre of Great Britain on its formation in 1963, under Laurence Olivier. The National Theatre remained at the Old Vic until new premises were constructed on the South Bank, opening in 1976. The Old Vic then became the home of Prospect Theatre Company, at that time a highly successful touring company which staged such acclaimed productions as Derek Jacobi's Hamlet. However, with the withdrawal of funding for the company by the Arts Council of Great Britain in 1980 for breaching its touring obligations, Prospect disbanded in 1981. The theatre underwent complete refurbishment in 1985. In 2003, Kevin Spacey was appointed as new artistic director of the Old Vic Theatre Company which received considerable media attention. In 2015, Matthew Warchus was appointed the new Artistic Director.
On May 26, 2022, Spacey was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in the United Kingdom with four counts of sexual assault against three complainants. The alleged offenses occurred between 2005 and 2013 in London and Gloucestershire. According to the Crown Prosecution Service, it would be possible to formally charge Spacey only if he entered England or Wales, which would entail extradition if Spacey refused to do so voluntarily. Nevertheless, in a statement to Good Morning America on May 31, 2022, Spacey said that he would voluntarily appear in the U.K. as soon as can be arrange

The Scandalli Brothers was born in Camerano in 1916 , when Silvio Scandalli ( 1889 -1977) with his brothers Henry and Albino, began making accordions in a small home workshop, and then sell them in nearby Loreto , place of pilgrimage for many believers. It was in 1923 one of the first sales contracts with which the Scandalli brothers undertook to build 25 barrel organs per year for the Belgian Giuseppe Fieres of Mont-Saint-Amand-lez-Gan . In 1930 the Scandalli Brothersit had grown to open a new factory which had a hundred workers and a production of 10 accordions daily [1] .
Photo of a Scandalli from the first half of the 1900s preserved in the International Accordion Museum of Camerano
In those years when the mechanics of the instrument was in continuous development and renewal, the company's research activity was very important, testified by the numerous projects presented at the Patent Office in Milan : the first, from 1924 , bore the title of Improvement in mechanical key devices to combine several voices in accord in bellows accordions , while in 1932 a system was invented that allowed to dismantle the part of the mechanical control organs of both the bass and the chords [1] . In the following years, then, Silvio Scandalli decided to include a small research and patent department in the company.

The Great Northern Warehouse is the former railway goods warehouse of the Great Northern Railway in Manchester city centre, England. It has been redeveloped as a car park and leisure complex. The building is located at the junction of Deansgate and Peter Street in the city centre. It was granted Grade II* listed building status on 3 October 1974.
The warehouse is a hugely impressive block, of blue brick below (and) red brick with blue brick dressings above. It was built to be fireproof with a steel frame, and built on a rectangular plan, 267 feet long by 217 feet wide and five storeys high, with 27 windows on the east and west sides and 17 windows on the north and south ends. All four sides have friezes lettered in white brick reading Great Northern Railway Company's Goods Warehouse. The warehouse was built above the Manchester and Salford Junction Canal, and a dock beneath was constructed to allow goods to be transferred to and from canal barges via shafts and a complex system of haulage using hydraulic power.[2] It is a unique survival of a three-way railway goods exchange station, serving the railway, canal and road networks of the Manchester region.
The development is owned by Capital & Regional and as of March 2013 comprises an AMC cinema, a casino, a bowling alley, bars, a Lifestyle Fitness gym, and a multi-storey car park operated by National Car Parks.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HCM2 - The Printworks entertainment venue is located on the revamped Withy Grove site of the business premises of the 19th century newspaper proprietor Edward Hulton, established in 1873 and later expanded.
Hulton's son Sir Edward Hulton expanded his father's newspaper interests and sold his publishing business based in London and Manchester to Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Rothermere when he retired in 1923. Most of the Hulton newspapers were sold again soon afterwards to the Allied Newspapers consortium formed in 1924 (renamed Kemsley Newspapers in 1943 and bought by Roy Thomson in 1959).
Earlier names of the buildings associated with publishing that were incorporated into the development include Withy Grove Printing House, the Chronicle Buildings, Allied House, Kemsley House, Thomson House and Maxwell House. Kemsley House on the corner of Withy Grove and Corporation Street was developed gradually from 1929 and became the largest newspaper printing house in Europe.
The site housed a printing press until 1986. Robert Maxwell bought the property for £1 and subsequently closed it down. The building was left unused for over a decade and fell derelict.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFEG25 - Palace Theatre Manchester on Oxford Street photographed at dusk, with the façade lit in warm orange light and a large vertical poster advertising The Karate Kid: The Musical. The theatre frontage, marquee lighting, pavement posters, parked car, bicycles and evening street scene place the image firmly in Manchester's busy Oxford Road cultural corridor. The show poster refers to the stage musical based on the well-known 1984 film, using the familiar Karate Kid branding and martial arts imagery to promote a live theatre production. The Palace Theatre is one of Manchester's major commercial theatres, located at 97 Oxford Street, close to Manchester Oxford Road railway station, St Peter's Square and the city centre entertainment district. The venue dates from the late nineteenth century and has been part of Manchester's theatre and performance life since 1891, making it useful for stories about theatre heritage, touring musicals, regional arts, live entertainment, night-time economy and city centre culture. The evening light and illuminated sign give the photograph atmosphere, showing how theatre buildings contribute to urban nightscapes and destination streets. The image is suitable for editorial use on The Karate Kid musical, Manchester theatre, Palace Theatre listings, family entertainment, live stage productions, musical theatre tours, cinema-to-stage adaptations, nostalgia entertainment, Oxford Street, city breaks, cultural tourism and the continuing appeal of classic 1980s film properties. Visible text includes Palace Theatre , The Karate Kid , The Musical , The iconic 80s movie and Spectacular new musical , making the photograph especially searchable for picture buyers looking for a current theatre frontage and show advertising. The dark sky, warm architectural lighting and active street-level details provide a clear dusk context, with the theatre shown as both a heritage venue and a modern live entertainment destination in central Manchester.

Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2D9466J - The King's became famous for being a venue belonging to the theatre empire Howard & Wyndham. The theatre was originally commissioned by the Edinburgh Building Company Ltd, chaired by Robert C. Buchanan. The King's was built as a rival to the successful Royal Lyceum Theatre, which had been established for over twenty years. Buchanan was experienced in the industry as he already managed a large number of provincial variety theatres, however this was his most ambitious project yet.
The foundation stone was laid on 18 August 1906 by Andrew Carnegie, with copies of the current newspaper and coins buried underneath. During construction the owners experienced financial troubles being unable to pay the final costs to the contractor William Stewart Cruikshank and to the architects, surveyors and lawyers, at which stage the operating rights were transferred to a new King's Theatre Company, of which Cruikshank was a major shareholder. Buchanan was managing director and he took on the day-to-day running of the King's, with Cruikshank`s son A. Stewart Cruikshank as manager. An attempt to sell the theatre to Howard & Wyndham Ltd chaired by Michael Simons, and therefore clear the debts, failed and the Cruikshank family decided to run it themselves with A Stewart Cruikshank becoming managing director in June 1908
The theatre is home to Edinburgh's mainstream annual pantomime, which is produced by Qdos Entertainment. The theatre is now run by the Capital Theatres which also controls the Festival Theatre. The theatre is also an important venue over the Festival period. Plans are now underway for a new refurbishment scheme to bring the theatre up to modern day standards
The theatre's interior and exterior were designed separately. James Davidson designed the building itself. The interior of the King's was designed by JD Swanston

The new car park, which was due to open
in December 2017, is a great example of
how architects and contractors can work in
partnership with Maple to transform typically
dull and utilitarian buildings into an integral and
aesthetically appealing part of the urban realm.
With its hexagon-featured golden façade, the
car park complements the other elements of
the £107m Time Square development.
The new car park is an integral and important
part of the Time Square project as it will
underpin and support the whole scheme, said
the leader of Warrington Borough Council, Terry
O'Neill.
Architect's ratings
Leach Rhodes Walker described us as ˜excellent'
after the successful collaboration. Maple's
knowledge and craftsmanship was excellent
throughout, said LRW's lead project designer,
Ka Yin Man. From when we spoke to sales
about the commercials, to (dealing with) the
design and projects teams, the whole experience
was collaborative. In a post-project interview,
the architects' firm gave us top marks for design
services, project support, meeting deadlines
and the quality of the finished product. Added
Ka Yin: Maple were always helpful, and any
questions were dealt with promptly. Everyone
was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
The end result was even better than expected
The project was one of the first to use the new
dedicated prototype area at Maple's factory in
Stockport. The architects and contractors I & H
Brown Construction were able to view real-life
examples of the bespoke perforated panels and
golden hexagon cut-outs - at actual size. The
prototypes were powder-coated in the specified
colour, and fitted to the display framework using
actual fittings - meaning that any changes to the
design or specification could be made without
it having a major impact on timings or budget

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9PW - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DFF2 - The Old Vic is a theatre located just south-east of Waterloo Station in London on the corner of The Cut and Waterloo Road. Established in 1818 as the Royal Coburg Theatre, it was taken over by Emma Cons in 1880 when it was known formally as the Royal Victoria Hall. In 1898, a niece of Cons, Lilian Baylis assumed management and began a series of Shakespeare productions in 1914. The building was damaged in 1940 during air raids and it became a Grade II* listed building in 1951 after it reopened.
It was also the name of a repertory company that was based at the theatre and formed the core of the National Theatre of Great Britain on its formation in 1963, under Laurence Olivier. The National Theatre remained at the Old Vic until new premises were constructed on the South Bank, opening in 1976. The Old Vic then became the home of Prospect Theatre Company, at that time a highly successful touring company which staged such acclaimed productions as Derek Jacobi's Hamlet. However, with the withdrawal of funding for the company by the Arts Council of Great Britain in 1980 for breaching its touring obligations, Prospect disbanded in 1981. The theatre underwent complete refurbishment in 1985. In 2003, Kevin Spacey was appointed as new artistic director of the Old Vic Theatre Company which received considerable media attention. In 2015, Matthew Warchus was appointed the new Artistic Director.
On May 26, 2022, Spacey was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in the United Kingdom with four counts of sexual assault against three complainants. The alleged offenses occurred between 2005 and 2013 in London and Gloucestershire. According to the Crown Prosecution Service, it would be possible to formally charge Spacey only if he entered England or Wales, which would entail extradition if Spacey refused to do so voluntarily. Nevertheless, in a statement to Good Morning America on May 31, 2022, Spacey said that he would voluntarily appear in the U.K. as soon as can be arrange

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PG69G6 - Yard Of Ale formed originally in 1972 and had ten successful years on the pub and club circuit, winning the TV Times Pub Entertainers of the Year award, doing well on ITV's New Faces and appearing on many television and radio shows including STV's Thingummyjig and BBC Scotland's Scottish Radio Orchestra Roadshow. During this time they also supported, amongst others, Matt McGinn, Hamish Imlach and Billy Connolly and enjoyed an extended run at the Edinburgh Festival with the legendary Tim Hardin.
Thereafter they went their separate ways........Alistair McDougald performing solo on the club cabaret circuit, Colin Mackenzie forming and playing with North Sea Gas folk group and Ian Lawson leading a successful rock band.
In 1992 the group reformed for a project in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Bill Hill in which they performed acoustic music spanning 30 years........Skiffle, Folk, Protest, Calypso, Country and Contemporary.
One of the hits of this year's festival - Danny Kyle, BBC Radio Scotland.
Since then the band have been in great demand for concerts, folk festivals, corporate functions, pub, hotel and club gigs all over Scotland and on tour in Denmark and Ireland.
Peter Gillan joined the band when Ian retired due to work commitments in 1998. Having spent many years as a singer/guitarist playing solo on the folk and country scenes, Peter's experience has added yet another dimension to the band.
Walter Mowat joined Yard Of Ale in 2015. Walter has played in a number of folk and bluegrass bands over the years and also plays violin with the Really Terrible Orchestra.
Ian Lawson and Colin Mackenzie still occasionally feature with the band for larger gigs and as emergency stand-ins.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F89PRX - Night-time documentary stock photograph of Edinburgh's Christmas lights and festive fairground rides on Princes Street in the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. The image shows a tall illuminated helter skelter ride glowing in red, white and warm fairground lights, with the landmark Balmoral Hotel clock tower rising behind it in blue seasonal lighting. The tight vertical composition captures the busy visual contrast between Victorian railway-hotel architecture and temporary Christmas entertainment, making it useful for editorial stories about winter tourism, city centre events, festive family attractions, Christmas markets, night-time leisure and the visitor economy in Scotland's capital. Princes Street and the gardens below are strongly associated with Edinburgh's annual winter festival, where markets, food stalls, rides and attractions draw residents, shoppers, day trippers and international tourists during the dark weeks from mid November into early January. The Balmoral, at 1 Princes Street, is one of Edinburgh's most recognisable landmarks and its famous clock tower gives the scene a clear sense of place near Waverley Station, the New Town, the Old Town and the main shopping spine of the city. The photograph can illustrate articles about Christmas spending, seasonal retail, hospitality, outdoor attractions, festive lighting, urban regeneration, council event management, crowd safety, family days out and Scotland winter breaks. The visible night sky, electric bulbs and decorated ride create a strong festive atmosphere, while the historic stone tower in the background adds heritage context and a recognisable Edinburgh skyline element. There is no visible snow or rain, and the scene appears to be a cold, dark winter evening with artificial light from the ride, street decorations and the clock tower. The image is well suited for travel, tourism, Christmas, seasonal economy, city branding, local government events and winter festival features.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F89PT4 - Photo shows Edinburgh Christmas Lights, Princes Mall, Princes St,City Centre, Scotland, UK. The photograph is useful for Christmas, Hogmanay, festive leisure, winter tourism, night-time economy and family entertainment themes. Seasonal images like this can work for travel, shopping, hospitality, energy use, household celebration, public events and wider stories about how towns and cities create atmosphere during darker months. The supplied location evidence places the subject at or near Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, which adds value for buyers searching by town, city, region or postcode. The image is strongly seasonal, with winter or Christmas context visible or implied by the caption. It should work for editorial buyers needing authentic, non-staged British or travel imagery for news, magazine, blog, local government, heritage, housing, transport, tourism, retail, public policy or social commentary use. The caption should be checked against the visible photograph before upload so that any readable signs, weather, time of day and people context are accurately reflected without overstating facts not shown in the image. The strongest sales value is the combination of named subject, real location and everyday documentary style, giving picture editors a flexible image that can sit alongside features, opinion pieces, explainers, historical retrospectives and local news. Search relevance is helped by including concise place names, visible brand or wording, functional subject terms, and wider editorial concepts such as public realm, consumer behaviour, heritage, travel, leisure and community life where they genuinely match the picture.
