Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FHEA2C - . Packets and containers of spring-flowering bulbs and colourful garden plants are arranged on a tiered outdoor display at a UK supermarket, bringing seasonal horticulture into the ordinary grocery-shopping environment. Bright flower photographs on the packaging show customers the colours and varieties they can expect after planting, while the open rack allows a large number of bulbs to be sold from a relatively small footprint. Spring bulbs such as daffodils, tulips and other flowering varieties are commonly planted months before they bloom, making autumn and early winter an important retail period even though the packaging depicts the following spring. Supermarkets increasingly sell seasonal gardening products alongside food, allowing customers to pick up bulbs, compost, seeds and plants without visiting a specialist garden centre. The photograph captures the commercial rhythm of gardening, where retail displays anticipate the next growing season well before flowers appear outdoors. For gardeners, bulb displays offer relatively inexpensive colour and the possibility of flowers returning in later years when varieties naturalise successfully. The product relies heavily on photographic packaging because the dormant bulb itself gives little indication of the eventual size, shape or colour of the flower. Mass-market availability has helped make ornamental bulbs accessible to casual gardeners as well as enthusiasts who buy from specialist nurseries. The wooden-style rack and rows of brightly illustrated packets create a visually dense display designed to prompt an impulse purchase at the entrance or edge of a store. Seasonal garden sales also connect supermarkets with weather patterns, changing daylight and the annual cycle of domestic gardening. Supermarkets sell packaged bulbs as a seasonal line alongside their normal groceries, competing with garden centres by offering inexpensive impulse purchases to a broad customer base.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FH2RM5 - . Stone-arched entrance to Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden in Warrington, with a timber door and visitor information beside the gateway. The gateway sign reads Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden, while the pointed arch and deep masonry reveal the former estate character before visitors enter the planted interior. The arched entrance to Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden is set into a red-sandstone and brick boundary wall, with mature greenery visible around the historic doorway and visitor information displayed beside it. The garden forms part of the historic Grappenhall Heys estate in south Warrington, associated with Thelwall Heys, a Gothic Revival house designed in the nineteenth century by architect Alfred Waterhouse for tanner William J. Long. Historic England lists Thelwall Heys, its outbuildings and garden structures at Grade II, recognising the architectural and historic interest of the house and its related estate features. Walled gardens were traditionally designed to create a sheltered microclimate for fruit, vegetables and ornamental plants, using masonry to retain warmth and protect productive horticulture from wind and frost. The heavy timber door, pointed arch and substantial masonry give the entrance a deliberately picturesque estate character, contrasting with the suburban development that now surrounds much of Grappenhall Heys. The image is relevant to heritage conservation, historic gardens, Victorian estates, Alfred Waterhouse, community green space, local history, horticulture and the reuse of former private estate landscapes for public enjoyment. The surviving wall and gateway help visitors read the garden as a designed historic enclosure rather than simply a modern public park planted with flowers. Conservation requires masonry repair, timber maintenance and sympathetic management of planting so that the garden remains usable without losing its estate character.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FE9549 - . The Crown's decorated exterior carries JW Lees brewery branding and signage for a large beer garden, representing the enduring role of suburban and village pubs in local hospitality. The Crown at 15 Booths Hill Road is a long-established Lymm pub carrying JW Lees branding. JW Lees is a family brewery founded in Middleton in 1828 and remains a major independent brewer and pub operator in North West England. A large brewery-tied pub like The Crown represents the traditional British model in which a brewer owns or supplies an estate of public houses, combining beer production with hospitality property. Its location on the edge of Lymm village also shows the suburban and village role of pubs as places for meals, sport, family gatherings and drinking, at a time when the sector faces high energy, wage and property costs alongside changing alcohol consumption. JW Lees branding ties the individual pub to a regional brewing economy centred on Greater Manchester and Cheshire rather than to one of the multinational pub and beer groups. JW Lees has brewed in Middleton since the 19th century and remains a family-owned regional brewer with pubs concentrated across the North West and North Wales. Suburban and village pubs such as this historically served neighbourhood customers rather than relying on destination tourism, but many now balance drinks with food, events and family trade to remain viable. Its hanging signs, flower baskets and beer-garden notice show the way a traditional public house markets several reasons to visit. The frontage is also a record of regional brewing geography: a local brewery's name remains visible in the streetscape rather than being absorbed into anonymous national hospitality branding. Beer-garden promotion is especially important in summer, when outdoor space can expand effective capacity and attract customers who might otherwise choose a cafe or restaurant terrace.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWJF6 - Customers sit drinking and socialising in the enclosed courtyard and beer garden at Nation of Shopkeepers on Cookridge Street in Leeds city centre, West Yorkshire, beneath the distinctive illuminated Garden of Earthly Delights sign. Framed by red-brick walls, black metal gates, planted greenery, hanging baskets and outdoor furniture, the courtyard gives the city-centre pub a secluded outdoor space despite its central Leeds location. Nation of Shopkeepers is an established Leeds bar and pub known for food, drinks, live music, art and a substantial beer garden, making the venue part of the city's independent hospitality, nightlife and leisure scene. The Cookridge Street premises offers outdoor seating as well as indoor bar space, with the courtyard particularly associated with warmer-weather drinking, eating and socialising. In the photograph, groups of customers occupy wooden tables beneath the large sign while parasols, foliage and industrial red-brick architecture create the atmosphere of a hidden urban garden. The unusual Garden of Earthly Delights wording gives the courtyard a recognisable visual identity, playing on the idea of a secluded pleasure garden within a busy city centre. Leeds has developed a substantial food, drink and independent bar economy, with traditional pubs, craft-beer venues, restaurants, music spaces and converted historic buildings concentrated across the central district. Nation of Shopkeepers combines several of those strands, operating as a pub, casual food venue, live-music location and social meeting place. Outdoor areas such as this became increasingly important to British hospitality businesses during and after the Covid period and remain popular for daytime drinking, informal dining and evening socialising. The image documents everyday leisure, urban hospitality, pub culture and the continuing use of enclosed courtyards and former commercial buildings for contemporary food and drink businesses in central Leeds.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKDACP - A red Labour campaign poster reading Vote Andy For Us displayed on a wooden stake in a front garden in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Greater Manchester, with a circular Reform UK arrow sign visible behind the hedge. The design promotes Andy Burnham's Labour campaign in the Makerfield parliamentary by-election, while the background sign records the competing Reform UK presence in the same residential street scene. The image is useful for editorial coverage of Labour supporters, Reform UK publicity, local election campaigning, doorstep politics, garden placards, party branding and the battle for working-class votes in a former Labour stronghold. Makerfield includes Ashton-in-Makerfield and other communities in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, and has long been associated with Labour representation, but recent reporting has described voter frustration over cost of living pressures, high streets, public services and immigration. The visual clash between Labour red and Reform blue makes the picture especially relevant for stories on political realignment, Red Wall politics, Andy Burnham, Keir Starmer, Labour's northern challenge, right-wing populism, protest voting and British electoral volatility. It could also support features on how national political arguments are displayed in ordinary gardens, terraces, semi-detached streets and local neighbourhoods far away from Westminster. The cartoon-style portrait, bold slogan and temporary campaign board give the photograph a strong graphic quality, while the hedge, brick wall, parked car and suburban road add plain documentary context. The image should be captioned carefully: the Labour poster indicates visible support at this property, but the Reform UK sign behind it may belong to another property or campaign route and does not prove the views of every nearby resident.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJYKGY - Two tribes editorial photograph shows two rival political signs in a front garden setting in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, Greater Manchester, during the June 2026 Makerfield by-election campaign. In the foreground, a red Labour VOTE ANDY FOR US' poster shows a cartoon likeness of Andy Burnham in his familiar black top and glasses, while a blue stock-photo/gotonysmith-Reform.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>Reform UK roundel sign is visible just behind the hedge. The two signs create a compact visual contest between Burnham, the high-profile Mayor of Greater Manchester, and Reform UK candidate Robert Kenyon, reported as a local plumber and army reservist. The image was taken in daylight under a cloudy North West England sky, with terraced and semi-detached houses, a brick wall, hedges and a quiet suburban road giving the scene a strongly local, doorstep politics feel. Burnham is often nicknamed the King of the North' in political and media commentary, reflecting his regional profile since becoming Mayor of Greater Manchester in 2017 and winning further mayoral terms in 2021 and 2024. The Makerfield by-election was due on 18 June 2026 and drew national attention because Burnham's possible return to Westminster was linked with Labour's future direction and speculation about Sir Keir Starmer's leadership. Reform UK's challenge added another layer, with Kenyon's candidacy attracting scrutiny over past social media posts and debate about the party's appeal in Labour heartlands. This image is useful for stories about Labour campaigning, Reform UK pressure, red wall politics, northern identity, voter choice, by-elections, populism, political branding, tactical voting and the everyday visibility of party loyalty in residential streets. For stock buyers, its strength is the juxtaposition of two competing signs: one personalised around Burnham's recognisable cartoon image, the other using Reform UK's simple directional branding, both bidding for attention before a closely watched parliamentary contest in Makerfield.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EG4C1D - A low level green lawn sign in Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, asks dog owners to keep pets off private grass and to avoid dog fouling, with the words No poop and pee, be respectful around a red prohibition symbol. Photographed at ground level beside a neatly mown residential verge and kerb, the image captures a familiar everyday neighbourhood dispute over dog mess, pet urine damage, responsible ownership and respect for gardens, pavements and shared residential streets. The sign uses simple visual language, with a dog silhouette and crossed red circle, making the message clear for passers-by, dog walkers and residents without needing formal council wording. The scene has commercial and editorial relevance for stories about antisocial behaviour, environmental health, public realm maintenance, private lawns, estate management, tenancy conditions, neighbour tensions and the cost of keeping streets clean. Warrington Borough Council's dog control Public Space Protection Order gives the authority powers to act against irresponsible dog owners who fail to clean up after their dogs, and PSPO breaches can lead to a fixed penalty or court fine, making this small domestic sign part of a wider UK debate about local enforcement and civic responsibility. The cloudy sky and soft daylight suggest typical changeable North West England weather, while the suburban housing backdrop places the problem firmly in an ordinary residential setting rather than a park or tourist location. The photograph is useful for illustrating dog dirt complaints, pet etiquette, community standards, housing estate management, lawn care, urban cleanliness, local authority enforcement, street scene issues, public health risks, tenancy management, resident engagement, estate inspections, and tension between dog ownership and shared space in modern Britain. It can also support articles on how residents use signs to protect verges and communal green space when formal enforcement is difficult.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EBGJMW - Vote Green campaign placard is fixed to a wooden post outside a red brick terraced house in a British residential street, creating a topical editorial image for UK council election coverage. The photograph shows grassroots Green Party campaigning at street level, with a second Vote Green sign visible further along the road, suggesting neighbourhood support and local doorstep politics rather than a staged party press event. The image is useful for stories about the Green Party of England and Wales, local elections, voter choice, protest voting, climate politics, environmental policy, tactical voting, progressive politics and changing party loyalties in urban and suburban communities. It can also illustrate the rise of Green campaigning under leader Zack Polanski, whose leadership has been associated with sharper left-wing messaging, stronger stock-photo/gotonysmith-Polling.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>polling visibility and increased attention from Labour, Liberal Democrat, Conservative and Reform UK opponents. The scene works well for coverage of local council contests, ward campaigns, candidate leaflets, garden posters, political signage, door-to-door canvassing and the contest for disillusioned Labour voters. It also suits more critical editorial use around campaign controversies, candidate vetting, accusations from rival parties, debates over antisemitism, policing comments, Palestine-related campaigning, public confidence, party discipline and the practical challenge of translating national polling into council seats. The wet road, plain terraced housing, overcast light and ordinary street setting give the image a documentary feel, emphasising everyday democratic participation, household political expression and the way national political arguments become visible in small local streets during an election campaign. It has strong stock value for newspapers, magazines, political blogs, polling analysis, civic education and features about fragmentation in British politics beyond the traditional two-party contest.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTD3AK - Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden is a historic walled garden in Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England. The garden was built by Thomas Parr around 1830 as both a pleasure garden for relaxing strolls and as a kitchen garden to produce fruit, vegetables, and herbs. After a period of decline, the garden was restored first by English Partnerships and then by the local parish council in conjunction with the friends of the garden
The walled garden was built around 1830 by Warrington banker Thomas Parr to accompany a mansion house. Thomas Parr's father, Joseph Parr, founded Parr's Bank and Thomas was appointed Chairman of the bank. Before opening the bank, Joseph Parr had made his wealth in the sugar refining industry that supported the slave trade in the British West Indies. Parr's bank amalgamated through acquisitions into the NatWest.
Unusually, Parr included both a pleasure garden and a kitchen garden within the same boundary wall. In addition to enjoying their garden, the Parr family held frequent galas and special events for the community. One annual event called Beating the Bounds involved a walk around the boundaries of the townships of Lymm, Appleton, and Grappenhall, which included the garden. Historical records suggest that the estate was at its height from 1875 to 1899.
By the 1950s, the estate had become derelict and parts of it were sold off. The house was demolished in the 1970s and the garden passed to English Partnerships for renovation. In 2005 control of the garden passed to Grappenhall and Thelwall Parish Council, which continued restoration in conjunction with a community group called The Friends of Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden. In 2012 the garden was given a Heritage Lottery Fund award towards repair of the Victorian glasshouses and completion of the restoration

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJ3YJT - . Christmas truce sculpture, known as All Together Now by Andy Edwards, at St Lukes, the Bombed Out Church, Reece St, Liverpool, L1 2TR. Photographed on 19 August 2023. The recorded location is Leece St, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK, L1 2TR. Christmas truce sculpture, known as All Together Now by Andy Edwards in the garden, depicting a British and German soldier commencing a football game at Christmas 1914. Andy Edwards' sculpture All Together Now commemorates the unofficial Christmas Truce of 1914, when British and German troops in sectors of the Western Front left their trenches, exchanged greetings and, in some accounts, kicked footballs between the lines. The work uses two soldiers and a football to represent a moment of temporary humanity amid industrialised warfare. Its setting at St Luke's, Liverpool's bomb-damaged 'Bombed Out Church', adds another layer of war memory: the church was devastated by incendiary bombing during the May Blitz of 1941 and survives as a roofless cultural landmark. Looking at the subject's development, art in public and historic settings adds another layer to the built environment
Sculpture, mosaic, painting and street art can interpret heritage, provoke debate, memorialise communities or create landmarks, and photographs preserve works that may later change or disappear. From a heritage perspective, christmas imagery ranges from religious observance to commercial decoration, seasonal entertainment and humour
Cards, shop displays, lights and novelty messages reveal how the festival has been represented in popular culture as well as how retail and public spaces respond to the winter season. Historically, parish churches and cathedrals are among Britain's richest sources of architectural and social history
Medieval fabric, Victorian restoration, monuments, stained glass, organs, altars and inscriptions can coexist in a single building, reflecting generations of worship and local patronage.

They can commemorate people and events, respond to politics, celebrate industry or simply enliven streets, while the artists' materials and styles place the work within a particular period. In historical terms, seasonal photographs document the mixture of tradition, commerce and community activity surrounding Christmas
Domestic lights, cards, street attractions and anti-Christmas jokes all sit within a broader culture of winter celebration. The wider historical story is that churches combine worship with architecture, community memory and centuries of community history
Their stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, changing liturgy, community benefactors, war remembrance and family history.

In historical terms, public art can become part of the identity of a street or neighbourhood, recording political ideas, local history, humour, memory and changing cultural tastes
Murals, sculpture and decorative art are especially valuable as documentary subjects because they may be altered, moved, weathered or removed. Historically, festive objects and decorations are part of a long tradition of Christmas visual culture, from greetings cards and church imagery to illuminated houses, fairs and satirical 'Bah Humbug' humour
Designs and typography can quickly become associated with a specific decade. As background, ecclesiastical buildings are both active places of worship and repositories of local history
Architectural details, memorials and churchyard monuments provide evidence for religious practice, craftsmanship, community identity, genealogy and the changing use of sacred space.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YRW - Hale is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Halton, Cheshire, England with a population of 1,800. The village is north of the River Mersey, and just to the east of the boundary with Merseyside. It is 2+1⁄2 miles east of Speke in Liverpool, and 4 miles south-west of Widnes. The nearby village of Halebank is to the north-east.
Historically part of Lancashire, until 1 April 1974 the area formed part of the Whiston Rural District.
The population of the parish is stable with a population of 1,898 (2001 census), 1,841 (2011 census) and 1,800 (2021 census).
John Middleton (15781623), the Childe of Hale, was reputed to be nine feet, three inches tall, or 2.8 m. His cottage and grave are located in the village. Just outside St Mary's Church was a wooden carving of the Childe Of Hale that is said to have been life-sized. It was replaced in 2013 by a 3-metre bronze statue by sculptor Diane Gorvin
Middleton was born in the village of Hale, near Liverpool. According to contemporary accounts and his epitaph, he grew to the height of 9 feet 3 inches (2.82 m) and slept with his feet hanging out the window of his house.
Because of his size the landlord and sheriff of Lancashire, Gilbert Ireland, hired him as a bodyguard. When King James I stopped by in 1617 to knight Ireland he heard about Middleton and invited both of them to the court, which they accepted in 1620. Middleton beat the King's champion in wrestling and in doing so broke the man's thumb. He received £20, a large amount of money in those times. Jealous of his wealth, Middleton's companions mugged him or swindled him out of his money while he was returning to Hale. Middleton died impoverished in 1623. He was buried in the cemetery of St Mary's Church in Hale. The epitaph reads, Here lyeth the bodie of John Middleton the Childe of Hale. Nine feet three. Borne 1578 Dyede 1623. He is likely one of the tallest people in history. If these height markings are accurate, he would surpass Robert Wadlow's stature

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JD0ME1 - As far back as 1252 there has been a townhouse on the Liverpool shore. Sir John Stanley pulled down the old house in 1406 and built the first Tower known as the Tower of Liverpool. This was used as an embarkation base for their property in the Isle of Man. The Tower stood at the shore end of Water Street.
Water street being one of the original seven streets of Liverpool was originally called Bonke Street'. Bonke' was Lancashire dialect for bank' (taken from river bank). Through the years it became Bank Street and then eventually Water Street in 1520's.
During the 18th century the Tower of Liverpool, between Tower gardens and Stringers alley was the Jail of Liverpool. A large arch joined the Tower to the building on the other side of Tower Gardens and this building was used to house debtors and Criminals.
The Tower ceased being a jail on 3rd July 1811 when all the criminals were moved to the new jail in Great Howard Street. In 1877 two men convicted of robbery were executed in Water Street opposite the Old Tower.
By the end of the 18th century the Tower was in disrepair and was pulled down in 1819 to be replaced by warehouses.
In 1856 the warehouses gave way to the second Tower called Tower Buildings, a large Italianate office block by J. A. Picton. Unfortunately The Tower fell foul to the demands of commerce and was demolished in the early 20th century.
The present Tower Building, designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas was completed around 1908. Walter Aubrey Thomas is not to be confused with his contemporary, Walter W. Thomas, who designed the Philharmonic Dining Rooms , The Phil' and The Vines, The Big House'. It was possibly to avoid confusion that he always styled himself as W. Aubrey Thomas
During the air raids over Liverpool in 1941 Tower Building was badly bombed and several people were killed and injured. Check out the BBC site for the real life story.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PH9MCD - A SINISTER monk who predicts death and misfortune is just one of the ghosts reported to haunt the Liverpool Arms pub in Conwy.
Legend has it that sightings of the sinister monk are said to warn of a death or some form of bad luck, and a strong smell of vanilla, one of the medieval cargoes carried by ships, has coincided with appearances.
The ghost of the cook is accompanied by an unexplained smell of roast beef that has lingered in the pub, whilst the ghost of a landlord is said to be that of a man who drowned in the estuary.
Looking back in the Weekly News archives, speaking in June 1980, former landlord Jacqui Plumb said she had often had objects mysteriously disappear in the pub and reported a terrified visitor claiming the bed in the pub's attic shaking violently.
But Jacqui herself saw the spectre of the monk right after a member of her family was involved in a serious accident.
I went into the spare bedroom. This is the tower room and it was about 4pm. When I opened the door I saw him just across the room, a monk with his hands together kneeling and praying, she said.
I was so amazed that I closed my eyes and shook my head to make sure I was actually seeing something. I opened my eyes and he was still there.
Later in the April of 1991, barman Andrew Young, 20, was working in the pub when he claimed he encountered a ghostly apparition at the back of the pub.
Andrew, of the Castle View Estate, claimed a ghost standing at around six and a half feet in height made a lunge for him, causing him to drop a crate of beer and rip his shirt. He claimed the ghost was accompanied by a small boy.
He kept beckoning me over and over again but every time he came forward I moved back, he said.
Then he came at me with a look of pure evil and I just panicked. I have never been so scared in my life.
The landlord at the time, Trevor Gresty, even reported the incident to the Bass Brewery.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JN6B3K - St John the Evangelist's Church is in Walton, Warrington, Cheshire, England. It was built as a private estate church towards the end of the 19th century but is now an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
History
The church was built in 188283 for the brewer Sir Gilbert Greenall of Walton Hall. It was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, the cost of its construction being £17,500 (equivalent to £1,880,000 in 2021).
Exterior
The church is built in red snecked sandstone with Westmorland green slate roofs. Its plan is cruciform with a three-bay nave, north and south transepts, a two-bay chancel, a south vestry, and a south porch. The tower is in four stages with chequerwork in its third stage, a recessed octagonal spire and an octagonal north west stair turret. The porch consists of an oak frame on a 6 feet (2 m) sandstone plinth. The church is in Decorated style
Walton is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is located at the southwest edge of the town of Warrington, next to the parish of Stockton Heath. It is also close to Daresbury and Moore, although these are in the neighbouring borough of Halton. Walton is part of the council ward of Hatton, Stretton and Walton.
Walton is divided into Lower Walton and Higher Walton. Higher Walton is south-west of Lower Walton, and is the location of Walton Hall. The estate of Walton Hall and its surrounding gardens, previously owned by the Greenall family, was bought by Warrington Borough Council in 1941 and is now a park with a zoo and municipal golf course
Higher Walton was the site of a railway accident. On 29 June 1867 two trains collided at Walton Junction due to signal error. The collision killed eight people and injured 73

Glossop Borough Council had set up a War Memorial Commitee to decide on what memorials should be erected around the Borough. The design that was decided on was a stepped stone base with bronze plaques inscribed with the names of those who lost their lives. On top of the stone base is a winged figure of Victory holding a laurel wreath. She is standing with one foot on the globe and another on the neck of a snake, representing evil. The bronze statue has been attributed to Vernon March, who also made the National War Monument in Ottowa, Ontario, Canada.
Dedication, 26 March 1922
The War Memorials at Glossop and Hadfield are identical. They were both dedicated on the same day, Sunday 26th March 1922. On the day of the dedication miniature evergreens had been planted around the base.
A procession of the Mayor (S. Bamforth), Lord Howard, Lord Doverdale (Edward Partington), the War Memorial Committee and other officials made their way from the Town Hall to Norfolk Square at 2.30pm. Lord Howard had been asked to unveil the War Memorial. He gave a short speech stating:
that he felt much honoured in having been asked to unveil that monument, which all of them had subscribed to, to enable it to be raised in that square.
The Rev. W. M. Martin-Ellis, Vicar of Whitfield, then performed the dedication of the Memorial. Four buglers then played The Last Post . This was followed by the male voice choir singing Sullivan's Homeland and the buglers then played The Reveille . The ceremony ended with the singing of the National Anthem.
Wreaths were then laid by the Mayor, Mr C. Haughton (who had lost three sons in the War) deposited on behalf of ex-servicemen. There were also wreaths from Mrs Partington (the ex-Mayor), the police, Mr Dickinson (headmaster of Glossop Grammar School) and many other organisations.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84K9R - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.
The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).
William Cranston was a member of the License Trade delegation who traveled to lobby the British Parliament in Westminster, London, in 1863 to have this practice forbidden

It is still possible to see some of the headstones along the northern perimeter wall. Find out more about the history of the park.
Rose garden
In the centre of the rose garden stands a drinking fountain which is surrounded by words, phrases and simple line drawings gathered from local children and adults to symbolise how they feel about the gardens. The images are pressed into blue engineering bricks, once used on the railway line that runs parallel to the gardens. The project was jointly funded by Cheltenham Borough Council, the Lower High Street Partnership and the Regional Arts Council.
Play area
The fenced play area with its woodland trail, living tree sculptures and spring bulbs has a variety of new play equipment. The play equipment was chosen by pupils from Gloucester Road Primary School and provides play facilities for a wider age range. New equipment includes a multi-activity unit, roundabout, inclusive play springie, swings, a pole spin and talk tubes.
Informal recreational area
The area south of the play area is used for informal recreation. The eastern boundary has been planted with native dog rose and wild flowers to enhance the urban park for wildlife and people alike.

Square stone centre block with inscription, surrounded by 8 Doric columns, with octagonal entablature, set on 3 steps and surmounted by ogee tiled dome with cross finial (missing, 1984). Records the Renshaw Street chapel which stood nearby. From a heritage perspective, churches combine worship with architecture, local memory and centuries of community history
Their stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, changing liturgy, local benefactors, war remembrance and family history. In the longer view, commemorative plaques, gravestones and monuments transform individual or collective memory into a permanent feature of the landscape
Their wording, materials and location can illuminate genealogy, social history, military service and changing attitudes to public remembrance. In the longer view, public wording is part of the visual landscape
Direction signs, warning notices, painted advertisements and engraved plaques show how authorities and businesses communicated before digital screens and app-based information became widespread. As of 2026, many historic churches face the practical challenge of maintaining listed fabric while remaining active community buildings, visitor attractions and venues for worship, music and local events
Images of their interiors and memorials therefore serve architectural, heritage and social-history uses. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that memorials continue to play an active role in public history, supporting remembrance, genealogy, education and heritage tourism
Images can also record inscriptions before erosion or redevelopment alters the physical object. Relevant long-tail terms include ecclesiastical architecture, parish church, Christian heritage, sacred art, religious symbolism, and church interior.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFMK11 - Bridgwater War Memorial is a Grade II* listed war memorial located on King Square in Bridgwater, Somerset, England, on the site previously occupied by Bridgwater Castle. It was designed by John Angel in the mid-1920s. The green figure of the memorial is allegorical, representing Civilization as a seated female, holding a globe in one hand and with the book of knowledge on her lap.
John Angel sculpted the Angel of Bridgwater. Mounted on a plinth, a female figure of 'Civilisation' lofts the world, which is encircled by emblems of commerce and peace. Under her foot are the demons of war. The throne and figure are backed by relief depictions of Labour, Home, Life and Education. On her lap is a book of laws, and she is surrounded by children. Indeed, given its monumental breadth, the many details in the design, and its metaphorical and iconic form, the sculpture is subject to colorful and variant interpretations and description. The bronze was cast by W Morris Art Bronze Foundry
At the time, Angel was working four years as assistant to Sir George Frampton,[2] and Frampton's influence is apparent. Figures from the roughly contemporaneous Exeter War Memorial, specifically Peace (also known as Victory) were exhibited by Angel at The Royal Academy in 1922, being exhibited in the courtyard of Burlington House,[8] as were other studies of the Bridgwater War Memorial on several occasions.
On the third step these words are inscribed: IN HONOUR OF THE MEN OF BRIDGWATER WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918
The memorial was unveiled by General the Earl of Cavan then Chief of the Imperial General Staff on 25 September 1924, to commemorate the fallen of World War I. Further names have been added following World War II, the Korean War. Falklands Conflict and the Afghan conflict. It has been characterised as, An exceptionally fine and moving memorial, which forms an important focal point to this fine late Georgian square.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BE34D8 - Alnwick Castle (/ˈænɪk/ (About this soundlisten)) is a castle and country house in Alnwick in the English county of Northumberland. It is the seat of The 12th Duke of Northumberland, built following the Norman conquest and renovated and remodelled a number of times. It is a Grade I listed building and as of 2012 received over 800,000 visitors per year when combined with adjacent attraction The Alnwick Garden
Alnwick Castle guards a road crossing the River Aln. Yves de Vescy, Baron of Alnwick, erected the first parts of the castle in about 1096.[5] Beatrix de Vesci, daughter of Yves de Vescy married Eustace Fitz John, Constable of Chestershire and Knaresborough. By his marriage to Beatrix de Vesci he gained the Baronies of Malton and Alnwick. The castle was first mentioned in 1136 when it was captured by King David I of Scotland. At this point it was described as very strong. It was besieged in 1172 and again in 1174 by William the Lion, King of Scotland and William was captured outside the walls during the Battle of Alnwick. Eustace de Vesci, lord of Alnwick, was accused of plotting with Robert Fitzwalter against King John in 1212 In response, John ordered the demolition of Alnwick Castle and Baynard's Castle (the latter was Fitzwalter's stronghold),[9] but his instructions were not carried out at Alnwick

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGPHA7 - Gerrard Winstanley (19 October 1609 10 September 1676) was an English Protestant religious reformer, political philosopher, and activist during The Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. Winstanley was the leader and one of the founders of the English group known as the True Levellers or Diggers for their beliefs, and for their actions. The group occupied public lands that had been privatised by enclosures and dug them over, pulling down hedges and filling in ditches, to plant crops. True Levellers was the name they used to describe themselves, whereas the term Diggers was coined by contemporaries.
Gerrard Winstanley was born on 19 October 1609 and was baptised in the parish of Wigan, then part of the West Derby hundred of Lancashire. He was the son of an Edward Winstanley, mercer. His mother's identity remains unknown and he could have been born anywhere in the parish of Wigan. The parish of Wigan contained the townships of Abram, Aspull, Billinge-and-Winstanley, Dalton, Haigh, Hindley, Ince-in-Makerfield, Orrell, Pemberton, and Upholland, as well as Wigan itself.
He moved in 1630 to London, where he became an apprentice and ultimately, in 1638, a freeman of the Merchant Tailors' Company or guild. He married Susan King, the daughter of London surgeon William King, in 1639. The English Civil War, however, disrupted his business, and in 1643 he was made bankrupt. His father-in-law helped Winstanley move to Cobham, Surrey, where he initially worked as a cowherd

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy T3RF44 - Walton Lea Walled Garden is a walled garden in Warrington, Cheshire, England. The garden is owned by Warrington Borough Council and managed by the Walton Lea Project.
The garden was created circa 1864 as the kitchen garden to the Walton Lea mansion house. It was designed by Edward Walters and built by George Crosfield, the eldest son of soap manufacturing pioneer Joseph Crosfield. In the early 1900s the house was bought by the Armitage family. In 1923 it was bought by the Greenall family, owners of nearby Walton Hall. The Greenall and Crosfield families were political rivals and in 1925 the Greenalls demolished the mansion leaving only the garden, cottages and associated buildings. The estate also included a fernery and rose garden that are no longer in existence. The walled garden later passed to Warrington Borough Council. It is in now managed by the Walton Lea project to benefit the community and people with disabilities.
The garden has an area of one acre with intact walls. The land slopes from the south-facing wall toward the north-facing wall.
The garden is open to the public daily. Fruit and vegetables from the garden are on sale. The garden provides work opportunities for people with disabilities

The photograph shows a classic hospitality and festival scene, with traditional service clothing, outdoor beer garden seating, decorative greenery and red and white Bavarian ribbons visible above the table area. Bright daylight and the strong highlights on the beer glass suggest dry, sunny weather during the autumn festival season. The image is commercially useful for editorial features on Oktoberfest, Munich travel, Bavarian beer culture, German hospitality, tourism, seasonal festivals, beer halls, food and drink service, visitor economy, hospitality staffing, traditional costume, waiter service, event catering and European city breaks.

Oktoberfest is held on the Theresienwiese in Munich, a large festival ground in the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district, and is widely known locally as the Wiesn. The event is closely linked with Bavarian brewing, beer tent culture, brass music, traditional clothing, regional food and the seasonal movement from late September into early October.

Following a three-year joint investigation by Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrest warrants were issued for two Libyan nationals in November 1991. In 1999, Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi handed over the two men for trial at Camp Zeist, Netherlands after protracted negotiations and UN sanctions. In 2001, Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was jailed for life after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder in connection with the bombing. In August 2009, he was released by the Scottish Government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in May 2012, remaining the only person to be convicted for the attack. He had continually protested his innocence.
In 2003, Gaddafi accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the families of the victims, although he maintained that he had never given the order for the attack. During the Libyan Civil War, in 2011, a former government official claimed that the Libyan leader had personally ordered the bombing. Numerous conspiracy theories have developed regarding responsibility for the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXHPD - Princes Street Gardens is a public park in the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland, in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. The Gardens were created in two phases in the 1770s and 1820s following the long draining of the Nor Loch and building of the New Town, beginning in the 1760s. The loch, situated on the north side of the town, was originally an artificial creation forming part of its medieval defences and made expansion northwards difficult. The water was habitually polluted from sewage draining downhill from the Old Town. In 1846 the railway was built in the valley to connect the Edinburgh-Glasgow line at Haymarket with the new northern terminus of the North British line from Berwick-upon-Tweed at Waverley Station.
The gardens run along the south side of Princes Street and are divided by The Mound. East Princes Street Gardens run from The Mound to Waverley Bridge, and cover 8.5 acres (34,000 m2). The larger West Princes Street Gardens cover 29 acres (120,000 m2) and extend to the adjacent churches of St. John's and St. Cuthbert's, near Lothian Road in the west.
The Gardens are the best known park in Edinburgh, having the highest awareness and visitor figures for both residents and visitors to the city. Various concerts and other events are held at the Ross Bandstand including the Festival Fireworks Concert, Men's Health Survival of the Fittest, and during the city's Hogmanay celebrations.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXPGD - . Edinburgh panorama, from The Balmoral Hotel to Royal Mile, Scotland, UK, looking towards North bridges in summer. Photographed at Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, EH1. The photograph was taken on 31 August 2013. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The wider composition gives a broader sense of the surroundings, showing the principal subject in relation to more of the streetscape, landscape or public space. The scene is closely associated with Edinburgh, panorama, old town, Balmoral, The Balmoral Hotel, Royal Mile, pano, capital, wide and angle, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The scene has strong relevance to railway travel, public transport, passenger infrastructure and the everyday operation of Britain's rail network. It can illustrate editorial stories about stations, train journeys, commuting, regional connectivity, rail investment, rolling stock, freight, signals, platforms, accessibility and the relationship between railways and the places they serve. Visible railway furniture, signs, tracks, platforms, trains, signals or station buildings help place the photograph firmly in the practical environment experienced by passengers and railway staff. As a dated documentary image it also offers a useful record of transport infrastructure, branding and passenger facilities at the time the photograph was made. Search themes include British rail travel, railway stations, passenger journeys, tracks, platforms, signals, rolling stock, freight, regional connectivity and transport infrastructure. The scene is particularly useful for illustrating how railway facilities, signs and operational surroundings looked at a known point in time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYNK7 - . Runner Bean Thompson & Morgan Garden Allotment Seed packets in garden centre / supermarket, now popular again th Great Britain. Photographed on 8 August 2013. The recorded location is England, UK. More people turning to growing food at home or on allotment vegetable patches during recession for better food. Historically, allotments and farms link household self-sufficiency with the commercial food system
Seed varieties, hand cultivation and large-scale mechanised farming provide a visual history of how people grow food and how agricultural practice changes. The wider historical story is that british allotments grew from nineteenth-century attempts to provide working families with land for food production and became especially significant during the two world wars, when Dig for Victory encouraged household cultivation
Seed packets and named vegetable varieties also reflect the long commercial history of amateur gardening. In the longer view, retail premises reveal the evolution of high streets and town centres: independent shops, markets, bakeries, butchers and larger chains respond continually to changing tastes, rents, competition and shopping habits
Photographs can preserve businesses and shopfronts that later disappear. In 2026, current agricultural debate combines food production with environmental land management, biodiversity and climate adaptation
Photographs of crops and cultivation therefore have both traditional rural and contemporary sustainability relevance. In the present 2026 context, allotments and grow-your-own gardening remain relevant to food prices, wellbeing, biodiversity and interest in shorter food chains
Waiting lists in many urban areas underline continuing demand for small plots where people can grow vegetables, fruit and flowers. Additional subject vocabulary includes agriculture, horticulture, grow your own, arable farming, vegetable growing, rural economy, farmland, sustainable agriculture, and food security.

The recorded location is England, UK. More people turning to growing food at home or on allotment vegetable patches during recession for better food. The wider historical story is that british agriculture has repeatedly adapted to mechanisation, changing markets and environmental policy
Tractors, fields, cereal crops and allotment vegetables each represent different scales of food production, while also documenting seasonal work and rural landscapes. As background, growing vegetables at home links horticulture, food security and recreation
Allotment plots became a distinctive part of British urban life, allowing gardeners to cultivate fruit and vegetables on small rented plots while preserving varieties and practical knowledge. The historical context is that shops and markets are a visible record of changing consumer life, from family businesses and specialist traders to chain stores, department stores and regenerated market halls
Fascias, signs and shopfronts can date a street scene as clearly as architecture or vehicles. In the present 2026 context, food security, soil health, biodiversity and climate resilience are increasingly central to UK farming and gardening
Images of crops, allotments and field work can support coverage of domestic food production, sustainable agriculture and adaptation to more variable weather. Against the 2026 backdrop, allotments and grow-your-own gardening remain relevant to food prices, wellbeing, biodiversity and interest in shorter food chains
Waiting lists in many urban areas underline continuing demand for small plots where people can grow vegetables, fruit and flowers.

This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with White, beautiful, flowers, blossoms, flower, plant, sun, sunny, sunshine and summer, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The image has relevance to landscape, countryside, waterways, parks, gardens, environmental quality and the relationship between natural features and nearby settlement. It can illustrate editorial coverage of tourism, walking, recreation, conservation, seasonal change, biodiversity, green space, waterways and local identity. Vegetation, water, paths, buildings, weather and landform provide geographic and environmental context, helping the image work as both a place record and a broader landscape photograph. The documentary approach is useful for archive comparison, showing how a location looked at a particular time and how vegetation, land use or development may change later. Search themes include landscape, countryside, waterways, parks, gardens, environment, green space, tourism, recreation, seasonal conditions and local geography. The location view can also provide a useful baseline for later comparison as vegetation, land use, water levels or surrounding development change. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. It can be used in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, documentaries, heritage projects and retrospective features where geographical accuracy and period detail matter.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HCYG - . Looking up at a tree in autumn golden leaves. Photographed on 7 November 2010. The recorded location is Grappenhall Heys, Warrington, Cheshire, England UK WA4. The wider historical story is that fields, flowers, trees and wildlife provide a visual record of season, habitat and countryside management
Agricultural crops sit alongside wild plants, insects and birds, illustrating the overlap between food production, biodiversity and recreation. Looking at the subject's development, plant details are useful both aesthetically and scientifically, showing petals, leaves, seed heads and moisture at a particular stage of growth
Repeated seasonal photography can also provide a simple record of phenology. The historical context is that landscape photographs record more than scenery: structures, vegetation, weather, transport and land use combine to show how a place appeared at a particular moment
Repeated views can later become valuable evidence of development, environmental change and shifting patterns of use. In the present 2026 context, climate adaptation and biodiversity remain prominent concerns, giving ordinary countryside scenes greater documentary relevance
Changes in rainfall, temperature and land management affect flowering, crops, insects and wildlife, while public interest in nature recovery continues to grow. For the 2026 context, shifting seasonal patterns are of growing interest because climate change can alter flowering times, frost dates and plant distribution
Close nature images can therefore support stories about gardens, biodiversity and phenology as well as decorative use. Looking at the subject's development, nature photography can serve both aesthetic and documentary purposes, preserving details of species, flowering seasons, weather and land use
Repeated images of the same places also become useful evidence of environmental evolution over time. Associated subject terminology includes British countryside and seasonal landscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 8089409008 - 'An agaric is a type of fungal fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus (cap) that is clearly differentiated from the stipe (stalk), with lamellae (gills) on the underside of the pileus. 'Agaric' can also refer to a basidiomycete species characterized by an agaric-type fruiting body. An archaic usage of the word agaric meant 'tree-fungus' (after Latin agaricum)
however, that meaning was superseded by the Linnaean interpretation in 1753 when Linnaeus used the generic name Agaricus for gilled mushrooms.
Most species of agarics are classified in the Agaricales, however, this type of fruiting body is thought to have evolved several times independently, hence the Russulales, Boletales, Hymenochaetales, and several other groups of basidiomycetes also contain agaric species. Older systems of classification place all agarics in the Agaricales, and some (mostly older) sources still use 'agarics' as a common name for the Agaricales.
Contemporary sources now tend to use the term euagarics when referring only to members of the Agaricales. 'Agaric' is also sometimes used as a common name for members of the genus Agaricus, as well as for members of other genera, for example, Amanita muscaria is sometimes called 'fly agaric'.
Amanita muscaria poisoning occurs in either young children or people ingesting it to have a hallucinogenic experience. Occasionally, immature button forms have been mistaken for puffballs. Additionally, the white spots can be washed away during heavy rain and it then may seem as the edible A. caesarea.
Amanita muscaria contains a number of biologically active agents, at least one of which, muscimol, is known to be psychoactive. Ibotenic acid, a neurotoxin, serves as a prodrug to muscimol, with approximately 10-20% converting to muscimol upon ingestion. A toxic dose in adults is approximately 6 mg muscimol or 30 to 60 mg ibotenic acid
this is typically about the amount found in one cap of Amanita muscaria. However, the amount and ratio of chemical compounds per mushroom varies widely from region to region and season to season, which further confuses the issue. Spring and summer mushrooms have been reported to contain up to 10 times as much ibotenic acid and muscimol compared to autumn fruitings.
A fatal dose has been calculated at an amount of 15 caps. Deaths from this fungus A. muscaria has been reported in historical journal articles and newspaper reports
however, with modern medical treatment a fatal outcome because of the poison of this mushroom would be extremely rare. Many older books list it as 'deadly' but this is a mistake that gives the impression it is far more toxic than it actually is. The North American Mycological Association has stated there are absolutely no reliably documented fatalities in the past century. The vast majority (90% or more) of mushroom poisoning deaths are from having eaten either the greenish to yellowish death cap (A. phalloides) or perhaps even one of the several white Amanita species which are known as destroying angels.
The active constituents of this species are water soluble, and boiling and then discarding the cooking water will at least partly detoxify A. muscaria. However, drying may increase potency as the process facilitates the conversion of ibotenic acid to the more potent muscimol. According to some sources, once detoxified, the mushroom becomes edible.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GXYXGG - Photo shows A full pint of Sam Smiths Old Brewery Bitter, Yorkshire, in a beer garden. The image is useful for illustrating British and Irish pub culture, real ale, traditional bars, hospitality, visitor economy stories and the continued importance of pubs as social places. Where a named pub, brewery, beer pump, pint glass or drinking street is visible, it can support articles on licensed premises, cask ale, CAMRA interest, tourism, nightlife, local character and changing high streets. The supplied workbook does not give a precise location, so the image should be treated as a concept or documentary subject unless the location can be verified separately. Weather and season may be visible outside or through the setting
the subject has clear hospitality and leisure value. 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.
