Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX14FX - Close-up view of a roadside directional traffic sign on the A6 Stockport Road in Manchester, England, showing routes towards Manchester City Centre, Longsight, Rusholme and Stockport. The large white highway sign, photographed beneath or beside a railway bridge in an urban setting, is a useful editorial image of British road infrastructure, wayfinding and transport geography in Greater Manchester. Stockport Road is one of the best-known arterial routes running south-east from central Manchester, linking inner-city districts such as Longsight and Rusholme with outer suburbs and Stockport beyond. Because the sign names several recognisable destinations on a single panel, the photograph works well for stories about commuting, city access, traffic flow, suburban connectivity, urban navigation and the wider road network serving Manchester and South Manchester. The image has value for newspapers, magazines, transport blogs, local history pieces and travel features needing a straightforward visual reference to the A6 corridor and the relationship between Manchester city centre and its southern districts. The railway bridge backdrop and tight urban context also help give the photograph a documentary feel, showing the layered infrastructure of roads, bridges and dense built form that characterises older transport corridors in northern English cities. As well as literal use in articles about signage or motoring, the picture can support broader editorial themes such as regional mobility, route planning, highway maintenance, city growth, transport policy and the everyday visual language of Britain's road system. The clean typography, arrow symbols and green A6 route panels make the image immediately readable and commercially useful as a transport-themed stock photograph with a clear Manchester location angle.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX14G2 - Close-up view of a legacy GMPTE station sign at Levenshulme railway station in Levenshulme, south Manchester, England. The hanging sign shows the station name together with the former Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive branding and the British Rail double arrow symbol, creating a strong documentary image of suburban rail identity and transport history in Greater Manchester. The photograph is useful for editorial features about railway signage, station branding, commuter rail travel, local transport heritage and the changing visual identity of public transport in Manchester over time. Because the sign appears to carry older GMPTE branding rather than current Bee Network or operator-led presentation, the image has added value as a record of legacy infrastructure and the way older transport graphics remain visible in the built environment. That makes it suitable for stories about transport history, railway modernisation, public sector branding, station environments and the everyday character of smaller urban stations in Britain. The tight framing against brickwork and sky gives the image a simple, graphic quality that works well for newspapers, magazines, transport blogs, local history features and stock uses needing a clear Manchester location angle. Levenshulme is a busy suburban station on the Manchester rail corridor, and the sign helps root the image in a recognisable local setting while also speaking more broadly to the layered history of rail presentation in the region. The photograph can also support features on place identity, suburban commuting, civic design and how transport authorities once branded parts of the rail network before later reorganisations and newer umbrella transport identities emerged across Greater Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX14P7 - The entrance to Denton railway station in Tameside, Greater Manchester, showing the station nameboard fixed to a brick wall, a wayfinding sign above, and an information case beside the entrance path. The scene captures the modest and understated character of a suburban British station that has become unusually well known because of how little it is used. Denton is served by an exceptionally sparse passenger timetable, with National Rail stating that the station has only one train a week in each direction on Saturdays. That means just two passenger services per week, making it one of the most unusual working stations on the national network and a familiar curiosity to rail enthusiasts, transport writers and campaigners interested in underused infrastructure. The image works well as an editorial or documentary photograph because it shows not just a platform or sign, but the ordinary public-facing entrance where local rail access begins, reinforcing themes of public transport provision, railway identity, local connectivity and the contrast between maintained infrastructure and minimal passenger use. Denton is on Manchester Road North and managed by Northern, with the platforms below the level of the main entrance. The retained GMPTE style branding on the signage also gives the picture additional value for stories about transport heritage, Greater Manchester public transport history and the evolution of station identity in northern England. Suitable for editorial use on topics such as Britain's quietest stations, least used railway stations, ghost train services, parliamentary services, rail timetable anomalies, suburban transport, station usage figures, local transport policy and the odd corners of the UK rail network

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX14P9 - A blue pedestrian direction sign pointing towards Denton Station in Tameside, Greater Manchester, England, photographed against a bright winter sky. The sign carries the National Rail double-arrow symbol and provides a clear example of British railway wayfinding in an ordinary suburban streetscape. Images like this are useful editorially because they show how railway stations are signposted in the public realm, linking local walking routes, street furniture and transport infrastructure. Denton station has become particularly well known because of its exceptionally limited passenger timetable. Current station information states that Denton has an extremely sparse train service of only one train a week in each direction on Saturdays, effectively meaning two passenger services per week. That unusual service pattern has made the station a recurring subject in stories about Britain's quietest and least used stations, as well as wider debates about transport provision, so-called parliamentary services, and the survival of marginal railway links on the national network. The picture therefore has value not just as a clean transport sign image, but as an illustration of underused rail infrastructure, local connectivity, suburban mobility and the odd corners of the British rail system. Denton station is on Manchester Road North and serves the Denton area of Tameside in Greater Manchester. The simple composition, strong blue colour, readable text and uncluttered sky background also make the image commercially useful for articles, presentations and features about public transport, station access, rail branding, northern England travel, transport policy, and railway navigation signage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E26X18 - Close view of a station totem sign for Newton-le-Willows railway station in Merseyside, England, showing the red British Rail double arrow symbol above local Merseytravel branding. The photograph focuses on a modern transport sign mounted on a tall pole, framed by bare tree branches and an overcast sky, creating a clean documentary image of everyday rail infrastructure in North West England. The sign identifies Newton-le-Willows, an important station on the Liverpool to Manchester corridor, and visually links national rail branding with local transport authority identity. This makes the image useful for themes such as railway signage, public transport, commuter rail, station wayfinding, local mobility, travel information and transport infrastructure. The simple composition, clear typography and vertical framing also make it effective for editorial and commercial uses connected to rail travel, station facilities, public information systems and sustainable transport.
Newton-le-Willows station serves passengers travelling across Merseyside and the wider North West, and the image works well for articles about commuting, regional connectivity, town access, rail investment and modern station environments. The Merseytravel logo is useful because it places the scene within the Liverpool City Region public transport context, even though the station is managed by Northern rather than being a Merseyrail station. That distinction matters editorially and helps avoid mislabelling the image. The photograph can also support wider topics such as integrated transport, local authority transport branding, urban geography, everyday Britain, station access, passenger journeys and visible signage within the transport system. With its uncluttered subject, recognisable rail symbolism and documentary realism, it has strong search value for Newton-le-Willows, station sign, Merseyside rail, British railway signage, North West transport and commuter travel in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E26X9M - Entrance area at Newton-le-Willows railway station in Merseyside, England, showing station name signage mounted on a brick wall above local area information boards, timetable displays and public transport notices. The photograph captures a functional part of the station environment rather than trains or platforms, making it especially useful for themes such as rail travel, commuting, passenger wayfinding, station facilities, transport information and everyday public infrastructure in North West England. Visible details include the Newton-le-Willows nameboard, Merseytravel branding, CCTV signage, route map panels and printed notices, all of which help communicate the practical, information-led side of the passenger journey. The image works well for editorial and commercial uses connected to public transport, railway stations, rail passengers, local mobility, sustainable travel, transport planning and the ordinary built environment of the British rail network.
Newton-le-Willows is an important station on the Liverpool to Manchester corridor and serves commuters, local residents and regional travellers across Merseyside and the wider North West. This image is useful for articles about station access, rail infrastructure, passenger information systems, regional connectivity, local authority transport provision and the daily experience of rail travel in England. The brick surroundings, signboards and slightly weathered station fabric also give the picture documentary value for themes such as civic infrastructure, transport management, urban geography, station maintenance and public-facing transport services. Because the scene includes readable signage and recognisable station branding, it has strong search value for Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside rail, station entrance, local area map, transport information, Northern rail services, Merseytravel and British railway station photography. It is also suitable for wider searches around commuting, town connectivity, rail access

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97JG - A wide, documentary view of a vibrant painted wall mural spelling STOCKPORT in large, bold letters beside a car park in Stockport, Greater Manchester. The artwork uses bright, contrasting colours and playful illustrated elements around the lettering, giving the scene a strong sense of civic pride and place identity. The mural reads as both public art and informal wayfinding, a visual you are here marker designed to lift an everyday parking environment and make it more memorable for residents and visitors.
The foreground includes typical car-park cues such as barrier rails and painted bay markings, reinforcing the practical setting, while the mural transforms the background into a graphic, social-media-friendly backdrop. The light is crisp and clear, consistent with a cold-season day, with a blue sky and clean shadows suggesting bright winter conditions rather than rain. The overall feel is optimistic and modern, aligning with the kind of culture-led regeneration and placemaking projects many UK towns have used to refresh public spaces and encourage footfall.
Editorially, the image is useful for themes including town centre regeneration, community art, street art and murals, destination marketing, and how public realm improvements can change perceptions of utilitarian places like car parks. It also works well as a general Stockport location image, with the large readable text providing instant geographic context for travel, local news, and lifestyle coverage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM983X - A wide, documentary view across Suffragette Square in Stockport town centre, showing the landscaped public plaza set beside the Redrock leisure development. The scene is anchored by multiple pieces of readable place signage, including the large REDROCK STOCKPORT lettering on the main building and the light cinema branding on the adjoining façade. In the foreground, a low concrete bench clearly marked SUFFRAGETTE SQUARE helps identify the location, turning the image into a strong, searchable record of this named civic space.
The square is presented as a modern, people-first environment with planted beds, low seating, and a broad pedestrian surface that feels designed for lingering rather than simply passing through. Autumn colour is visible in the trees, with orange leaves adding warmth against cool grey paving and a pale, bright sky. The light suggests a cold-season day, likely late autumn or winter, with crisp clarity and a slightly damp look to surfaces that hints at recent rain typical of Greater Manchester. Surrounding shopfronts and food outlets, including visible retail signage such as GULZ DELI, reinforce the mixed-use character of the area and its role as a leisure and dining destination.
Editorially, the photograph works for themes of town centre regeneration, public realm investment, high street renewal, and the shift toward leisure-led development, cinema, and food offers. It suits local government and urban planning coverage, as well as travel and lifestyle pieces that need a contemporary Stockport location image showing modern civic space design in everyday use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM9867 - A clean, contemporary exterior view of Stockport Interchange in Greater Manchester, featuring prominent Bee Network branding and the large Stockport Interchange name mounted on modern cladding. The yellow bee emblem, strongly associated with Greater Manchester identity and the Bee Network transport system, provides an instantly recognisable visual anchor for editorial and commercial uses. The photo is taken in crisp winter conditions, with bright low sunlight and a clear blue sky that gives the scene a fresh, high-contrast look and picks out surface textures and edges on the sign and building façade.
The composition focuses on wayfinding and place identity rather than crowds, making it especially useful as a neutral, non-controversial illustration for stories about public transport, bus network operations, transport investment, and town-centre regeneration. The interchange is presented as a modern piece of civic infrastructure, the type of hub designed to make switching between services simpler for commuters, shoppers, and visitors. The absence of vehicles in the frame keeps attention on the signage and branding, which is often exactly what editors need to represent a transport organisation or location without tying the image to a specific incident.
This picture can support coverage of the Bee Network and Transport for Greater Manchester initiatives, integrated ticketing and information points, accessibility improvements, and wider debates about sustainable urban mobility. It also works well for general Stockport location coverage, with the winter light and calm atmosphere providing a professional, documentary feel suitable for news, policy, and transport features.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DNNR0C - A bold UNDERBANK mural fills a long stretch of dark hoarding in Stockport town centre, using bright block lettering in turquoise, pink and white set against a starry, space-like background. The artwork reads like a statement of place, turning a plain frontage into an instantly recognisable marker for the Underbanks area, and doing the classic regeneration job of making a construction or vacant edge feel deliberate rather than neglected. Timber battens fixed across the hoarding hint at temporary protection and ongoing change behind the scenes, while the scuffed pavement, patched surfaces and weathered upper edge of the structure keep the image grounded in everyday town-centre reality.
Shot in natural daylight, the scene has the subdued feel you often get under grey skies in the North West, with soft, flat light that helps the saturated colours pop without harsh shadows. There are no crowds here, which makes the mural itself the subject and gives the frame a clean editorial usefulness: it can illustrate stories about Stockport's town-centre revival, heritage-led regeneration, the reinvention of older retail and back-street quarters, and the use of street art as a quick, high-impact way to signal confidence and local identity. Commercially, it works well for themes like placemaking, public realm improvement, cultural regeneration, local pride, and the way towns use design and visual language to rebrand streets that are transitioning from decline into new leisure, hospitality and creative uses.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CKYR4E - A late-summer street scene in the Paddington Basin area of West London showing pedestrians walking past a line of bright pink wayfinding signs marked Carnival, directing people towards Notting Hill Carnival. The image was taken in August under strong daylight, clear blue skies and hot, dry weather, conditions typical of a peak UK summer period.
People are dressed in light clothing suitable for warm temperatures, reinforcing the sense of heat and seasonal conditions. The temporary signage highlights how London's public realm and transport-adjacent spaces are adapted each year to manage the movement of large crowds attending one of Europe's largest street festivals.
The photograph illustrates the interaction between urban infrastructure, seasonal weather and major cultural events, and is well suited for editorial use covering topics such as summer festivals, crowd movement, urban planning, transport access, heatwaves, and the logistical impact of large-scale events in London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6EP - A large promotional sign bearing the message Discover Dundee Waterfront, photographed in Dundee city centre, Scotland, UK. The sign forms part of the city's wider place-marketing and regeneration messaging, encouraging residents and visitors to engage with Dundee's transformed waterfront along the River Tay.
Dundee's waterfront redevelopment represents one of the most significant urban regeneration projects in Scotland in recent decades, reshaping former industrial docklands into a mixed-use cultural, commercial and public realm destination. High-profile developments in the area include museums, public spaces, improved pedestrian routes and new connections between the city centre and the river, signalling Dundee's shift from an industrial port to a modern, design-led city.
The phrase Discover Dundee reflects broader strategies used by post-industrial cities to reframe their identity through culture, architecture and tourism, positioning place as an experience rather than solely an economic centre. Such branding initiatives are increasingly common across UK and European cities seeking to attract visitors, inward investment and civic pride through visual messaging in prominent public spaces.
Photographed in daylight with leaf shadows cast across the sign's surface, the image combines clean typographic design with subtle natural elements, reinforcing themes of accessibility, renewal and everyday urban life. The photograph holds strong editorial value for stories relating to urban regeneration, city branding, tourism development, economic transition and contemporary Scottish identity, making it suitable for use in travel features, planning publications, policy discussion and cultural commentary.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6ET - A blue directional road sign in Dundee, Scotland, indicating a route towards the Tay Bridge for walkers and cyclists. The sign features internationally recognised pedestrian and bicycle symbols, highlighting the bridge's role not only as a major road crossing but also as part of Dundee's wider active travel network.
The Tay Road Bridge spans the Firth of Tay, linking Dundee with Fife and forming one of the most important transport connections in eastern Scotland. While primarily designed for vehicular traffic, the bridge also provides segregated or designated routes for non-motorised users, making it a significant piece of infrastructure for commuters, leisure cyclists and long-distance walkers.
Such signage reflects broader policy priorities in Scotland and the UK aimed at encouraging walking and cycling as alternatives to car travel, supporting objectives around carbon reduction, public health and urban sustainability. Clear wayfinding signs are a key element of this approach, helping users navigate complex urban transport systems and promoting confidence in active travel routes.
Photographed in daylight against a clear sky, the image isolates the sign and its symbols, making it suitable for editorial use relating to transport planning, sustainable mobility, urban design and public infrastructure. The photograph documents how large-scale transport structures such as the Tay Bridge are increasingly framed within debates about inclusive access, environmental responsibility and the future of everyday urban movement.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3C4CY3G - A close-up view of a bilingual directional sign in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland, pointing towards the Kerry Camino, also known as Camino Chiarraí. The sign features both Irish and English text and includes the distinctive scallop shell symbol traditionally associated with the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage routes across Europe.
The Kerry Camino is a locally developed walking and pilgrimage route that reflects Ireland's growing engagement with Camino-inspired trails, combining religious heritage, landscape, and cultural tourism. While not part of the official Spanish Camino network, Irish Camino routes have become increasingly popular with walkers seeking reflective journeys closer to home.
The simple black-and-white wayfinding design mirrors standard Irish road and pedestrian signage, integrating the pilgrimage route into everyday urban infrastructure. Its presence within Tralee highlights how historic religious practices are being reinterpreted through modern walking culture, wellness tourism, and regional identity.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating pilgrimage routes in Ireland, Irish walking trails, cultural and religious tourism, bilingual Irish signage, Camino-related travel features, and the growing popularity of slow tourism and heritage walking routes across Europe.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJR3 - This image shows the illuminated red neon FREIGHT ISLAND sign and arrow fixed to a weathered brick wall at Freight Island, part of the Depot Mayfield redevelopment in Manchester city centre. The signage sits on a robust industrial façade, the sort of hard-wearing urban fabric that once belonged to the working rail and warehouse landscape around Piccadilly and the Mayfield area.
What makes the sign work, commercially and editorially, is the layering. It is not just a neon sign, it is a very deliberate bit of identity and wayfinding that signals a new use for an old structure. The red glow and arrow shout nightlife and movement, while the brickwork, ageing mortar lines and stray tufts of greenery quietly keep the building's industrial past in the frame. Manchester does this a lot: keep the bones, change the purpose, then brand it hard.
Freight Island has become associated with the city's contemporary leisure economy: street food, bars, live events and big crowds, wrapped inside a repurposed industrial shell. The sign captures that shift in one hit, industrial heritage reframed as a destination. Shot in daylight, the neon still reads clearly against the brick, giving buyers a strong, legible urban detail image that can illustrate stories about regeneration, city culture, hospitality, placemaking and Manchester's continuing transformation.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX8F - Pedestrian wayfinding signs in the Castlefield area of Manchester city centre, England, directing walkers towards major cultural, civic, and visitor destinations including Manchester Central, Bridgewater Hall, the Museum of Science and Industry, Roman Gardens, the Great Northern Warehouse, and Castlefield Youth Hostel. Castlefield is recognised as Manchester's first designated urban heritage park and is known for its Roman origins, canal basins, and surviving industrial infrastructure.
The blue and white signposts form part of the city's pedestrian navigation system, designed to encourage walking between transport hubs, cultural venues, historic sites, and leisure areas. The signs reflect the layered character of Castlefield, where Roman archaeology, Victorian canals and railways, and modern cultural buildings coexist within a compact city-centre district.
The image highlights themes of urban wayfinding, heritage-led regeneration, and the role of public realm infrastructure in supporting tourism, everyday movement, and accessibility in major British cities. It also illustrates how Manchester promotes walkability and connects historic neighbourhoods with contemporary cultural and commercial centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX8X - This photograph shows a National Trust visitor sign reading Welcome to Castlefield Viaduct, mounted at the entrance to the Castlefield Viaduct in Manchester city centre. The sign marks the public access point to a former nineteenth-century railway viaduct that has been repurposed as an elevated urban park and walking route.
The Castlefield Viaduct was originally constructed in the 1890s to carry rail traffic into Manchester during the peak of the city's industrial expansion. After decades of disuse, the structure was restored and reopened by the National Trust as an experimental urban regeneration project, allowing the public to explore a significant piece of Manchester's industrial infrastructure from a new perspective.
The contemporary sign design contrasts deliberately with the historic ironwork of the viaduct, reflecting the project's blend of heritage conservation and modern interpretation. Clear visitor signage plays an important role in reintroducing former industrial spaces as accessible public places, helping frame the site not just as a relic of the past but as a living part of the modern city.
Taken in daylight, the image documents the interface between historic infrastructure and present-day cultural use. It illustrates Manchester's wider approach to heritage-led regeneration, where Victorian engineering, environmental enhancement, and public engagement are brought together to create new urban experiences in the city centre.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX2W - Directional signage for the Trans Pennine Trail photographed in the Latchford area of south Warrington, Cheshire, England. The blue wayfinding signs indicate west and east routes along the long-distance trail and display symbols for both cyclists and pedestrians, highlighting the shared-use nature of the path. The Trans Pennine Trail is a major national route stretching coast to coast across northern England, designed to promote walking, cycling, and sustainable travel through a mix of urban, suburban, and rural landscapes.
In towns such as Warrington, the trail forms part of local active-travel infrastructure, connecting residential neighbourhoods with green corridors, waterways, employment areas, and nearby towns. The signage reflects consistent national trail branding and supports navigation for leisure users as well as commuters. The image illustrates broader themes of sustainable transport, public investment in cycling and walking infrastructure, and the integration of long-distance recreational routes into everyday urban environments across contemporary Britain.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BR177K - Abbey Presbyterian Church is a church located at Parnell Square, Dublin. Designed by architect Andrew Heiton of Perth, Scotland, it is a decorated Gothic building, with a spire 180 feet (54.9 m) high. The church was erected in 1864 with funding from Alexander Findlater (17971873), a Dublin merchant and philanthropist, and is known colloquially as Findlater's church, and it is referred to in two of James Joyce's novels as Findlater's Church.
The Church was built on the north eastern corner of Rutland (now Parnell) Square and North Frederick Street. It was built on the site of Headfort House (sometimes Bective House), which was owned by the Earl of Bective (also the Marquess of Headfort), and named after his family's County Meath estate at Headfort House. The Earl had moved from a house of the same name in Smithfield which had by that time become an unfashionable district.
One of the first preachers was John Hall (18291898).
The congregation had previously, from 1667 until 1864, worshipped on Capel Street, on the site of the old St. Mary's Abbey. It was founded by a preacher from Bull Alley, the Rev. William Jacque, who left along with some of its congregation to form the new church. The Capel Street Congregation was sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Scots Church, and confused with the Scots Presbyterian Church, Lower Abbey Street. In 1778 during Rev. McDowell's ministry, the congregation renamed itself Mary's Abbey Congregation (whence the Abbey Presbyterian Church gets its name).
In 1911 Abbey Church, along with other Presbyterian churches, The Scots Church, Ormond Quay church and Union Chapel, founded Lindsay Road National School.
In 1918 the Union Chapel, on Lower Abbey Street, whose chapel had been damaged during the 1916 Rising, joined the Abbey Presbyterian Church

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M4MPX6 - There are various types of hobby activities involving metal detectors:
Prospecting is looking for valuable metals like gold, silver, and copper
Metal detectors are also used to search for discarded or lost,[31] valuable man-made objects such as jewelry, mobile phones, cameras and other devices. Some metal detectors are waterproof, to allow the user to search for submerged objects in areas of shallow water.
General metal detecting is very similar to coin shooting except the user is after any type of historical artifact. Detectorists may be dedicated to preserving historical artifacts, and often have considerable expertise. Coins, bullets, buttons, axe heads, and buckles are just a few of the items that are commonly found by relic hunters
in general the potential is far greater in Europe and Asia than in many other parts of the world. More valuable finds in Britain alone include the Staffordshire Hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold, sold for £3,285,000, the gold Celtic Newark Torc, the Ringlemere Cup, West Bagborough Hoard, Milton Keynes Hoard, Roman Crosby Garrett Helmet, Stirling Hoard, Collette Hoard and thousands of smaller finds.
Beach combing is hunting for lost coins or jewelry on a beach. Beach hunting can be as simple or as complicated as one wishes to make it. Many dedicated beach hunters also familiarize themselves with tide movements and beach erosion.
Metal detecting clubs exist for hobbyists to learn from others, show off finds from their hunts and to learn more about the hobby.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPDJAT - Bulmers cider is one of a number of brands owned by British cider maker H. P. Bulmer of Hereford. It is one of the biggest selling British bottled cider brands in the UK because it has the highest concentration of apples, with a number of variants including Bulmers Original & Pear. It should not be confused with Bulmers Irish Cider, sold outside the Republic of Ireland as Magners.
History
Fred and Percy Bulmer grew the apples at their family orchard at Credenhill in Herefordshire which would be later used to make the cider for which they became known. Production was initially at Ryelands Street in Hereford, the original buildings, including cider cellars survives today as the Cider Museum and King Offa Distillery. Production moved to the current Plough Lane site in the late 1970s. Today HP Bulmer makes 65% of the UK's five hundred million litres of cider sold annually, and the bulk of the UK's cider exports. From 1937 to 1949, Bulmers operated with Wm. Magners of Clonmel, expanding into Irish distribution markets. From 1949 Magners withdrew from this partnership but retained rights to trade under the name HP Bulmer Ltd in Ireland.
In 2003, the Hereford-based firm was bought for £278 million by Scottish & Newcastle (S&N) with the loss of some 200 jobs initially. In 2008, S&N were bought for £7.8 billion by the Carlsberg and Heineken groups. Bulmers now only survives as a brand name and subsidiary of the Dutch Heineken group, with operations in Hereford scaled back to focus mainly on the production of cider.
During spring 2006, the company relaunched Bulmers Original in the UK, aimed at the served over ice market, which had grown in popularity over the past few years. Bulmers Original is a 4.5% ABV cider, primarily sold in pint bottles (568 ml). In November 2007, Bulmers pear cider was launched

The location of the Parkneuk Works also made sense because it had plenty of space, which was important because it was normal practice for steel structures to be initially assembled at the factory before being dismantled and transported to the client. People living in the north end of Motherwell would become used to seeing huge steel structures appear in the yards of both Findlay's and the nearby Motherwell Bridge and Engineering Company.

An early visitor to the Parkneuk Works was William Ewart Gladstone, former (and future) Prime Minister. - Built by Findlay of Motherwell. Concrete piers with ashlar cutwaters
semi-suspension central span
lattice-work towers and parapets
terracotta piers with cast-iron lamp columns. Erected by public subscription to mark Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2D7WMP7 - Hexel's managing director Craig Whittaker said: We all wanted to say thanks to our heroes in the NHS and all the key workers who are working to keep the country going whilst everyone is enjoying the sunshine at home, complaining about been bored.
I'm anxious just going to the shops and those guys are facing the virus head-on every day risking their lives to help people, so this is the least we could do to show our thanks.
I wanted to do something special for them, and rainbows seem to be the thing of the moment I thought I'd paint the biggest one I could as a thank you to the NHS and key workers.
It's been great to see people's faces while we've been painting it.
They have absolutely loved it, it's made people smile when everyone is worried and miserable at the moment it's been really uplifting and it looks great.
Hexel was first set up as a computer shop on Cairo Street in the town centre in 1996 before moving to its current home around 15 years ago, making it one of Warrington's longest established IT firms.
It took Craig, his wife Pandy and two of the company's engineers roughly a week to paint the side of the building before work was completed yesterday, Wednesday, with a few finishing touches.
He added: It's probably taken us about a week to paint the rainbow all in all.
The Union Jack was quite a landmark that everyone knew, so I didn't want to lose that.
I can't believe it's eight years ago since we did it, that made everyone smile as well.
People are always saying are you the place with the Union Jack on it?'.
It might come back at some point in a year or two when all of this is over.
I've got plenty of rainbow paint leftover if anybody needs any.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AJRRK9 - Heading through the airport as you start your holiday can be a stressful experience and being forced to drag multiple cases behind you is a sure-fire way to make it all the more miserable. Sadly, this could be the fate that awaits at many UK airports.
Forget to stock up with change before heading to the terminal and you could be met by a collection of locked luggage trolleys refusing to surrender themselves to your bags until you feed them gold
Bristol and Luton take the title of most expensive airports for luggage trolleys with a non-refundable charge of £2, but you will be able to save yourself around 43p by using an old €2 coin instead.
If you do turn up at the airport without any shrapnel, just hope you're departing from Birmingham or Luton, where travellers are given option of paying by card even if the former does add a 40p admin fee to your £1 outlay.
It's not all a big money-grab, though. While many airports charge for the trolley, you will get the money back supermarket style when you return it. Even better, though, others including Heathrow still provide trolleys for free without even the need for a deposit.

The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. The house is a well-preserved Roman site for public bathing.
The Roman Baths themselves are below the modern street level. There are four main features: the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum holding finds from Roman Bath. The buildings above street level date from the 19th century.
The Baths are a major tourist attraction and, together with the Grand Pump Room, receive more than one million visitors a year, with 1,037,518 people during 2009. It was featured on the 2005 TV program Seven Natural Wonders as one of the wonders of the West Country. Visitors can see the Baths and Museum but cannot enter the water. An audio guide is available in several languages.
In 2009 a grant of £90,000 was made to Bath and North East Somerset Council to contribute towards the cost of re-developing displays and improving access to the Roman Baths, by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport/Wolfson Fund, which was established to promote improvements in Museums and Galleries in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HD7B - The Callanish Stones , Clachan Chalanais or Tursachan Chalanais in Gaelic, are situated near the village of Callanish (Gaelic: Calanais) on the west coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides (Western Isles of Scotland).
Construction of the site took place between 2900 and 2600 BC, though there were possibly earlier buildings before 3000 BC. A tomb was later built into the site. Debris from the destruction of the tomb suggests the site was out of use between 2000 BC and 1700 BC.[1] The 13 primary stones form a circle about 13 m in diameter, with a long approach avenue of stones to the north, and shorter stone rows to the east, south, and west. The overall layout of the monument recalls a distorted Celtic cross. The individual stones vary from around 1 m to 5 m in height, with an average of 4 m, and are of the local Lewisian gneiss.
