Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RE4PFE - The 'tragic' demise of a once thriving Cheshire shopping centre
'We've seen it decline from what was a thriving 70s-style shopping precinct' - more at https://www.cheshire-live.co.uk/news/chester-cheshire-news/tragic-demise-once-thriving-cheshire-25324074
Walking around Weaver Square in Northwich, past its many vacant units, you'd struggle to imagine it was once a hive of retail activity. Years ago, hundreds of shoppers would visit daily, drawn by big names like Woolworths and Argos.
Fast-forward to the present day and it is scarcely recognisable. Half of the complex has been demolished, most of the units lie empty and the crowds have long disappeared elsewhere, as online shopping continues to eat away at the high street's fortunes.
Northwich's Cllr Sam Naylor said: It's been tragic. We've seen it decline from what was a thriving, 70s-style shopping precinct into a scene, not of dereliction, but something that smacks of a past era of post-war modern Britain.
Following the recent and sad closure of the much-loved Seafarer, many residents questioned what was happening with the long-planned redevelopment of Weaver Square, which lies mere feet away from the chippy.
Cheshire West and Chester Council acquired the lease of the site back in 2014, by which time many of the units already stood empty. The authority took it over after the previous owner of Weaver Square ceased trading in 2012.
Since then, there have been a number of ideas about what do with the site. But the shopping centre continued to lie mostly-dormant, despite it being partly-demolished in 2019 amid promises of regeneration.
Northwich would then be hit by misfortune after misfortune : the outdoor market was gutted by fire in early 2020
the Covid pandemic caused economic chaos across the world
the devastating flooding in 2021 left many businesses badly damaged
and the town's railway station collapsed in April last year.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M108AP - In London, the Greyfriars was a Conventual Franciscan friary that existed from 1225 to 1538 on a site at the North-West of the City of London by Newgate in the parish of St Nicholas in the Shambles. It was the second Franciscan religious house to be founded in the country. The establishment included a conventual church that was one of the largest in London
a studium or regional university
and an extensive library of logical and theological texts. It was an important intellectual centre in the early fourteenth century, rivalled only by Oxford University in status. Members of the community at that time included William of Ockham, Walter Chatton and Adam Wodeham. It flourished in the fourteenth and fifteenth century but was dissolved in 1538 at the instigation of Henry VIII as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Christ's Hospital was founded in the old conventual buildings, and the church was rebuilt completely by Sir Christopher Wren as Christ Church Greyfriars after the original church was almost completely destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666. The building now standing on the site, designed by Arup Group Limited, is currently occupied by Merrill Lynch.
It was named after the friars' practice of wearing grey habits.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JGM7AY - The Imperial Typewriter Company was a British manufacturer of typewriters based in Leicester, England.
The company was founded by Hidalgo Moya, an American-Spanish engineer who lived in England. After first building the Moya typewriter, he set up the Imperial Typewriter Company in Leicester in 1911 with local businessmen John Gordon Chattaway, William Arthur Evans and Joseph Wallis Goddard. It stopped manufacturing typewriters when electric models and then word processors and personal computers became popular, causing typewriter sales to fall.
The company was acquired by Litton Industries in 1966, and gradually introduced Royal Typewriter Company models largely assembled from parts shipped from Hartford, Connecticut, United States. In May 1974, Asian workers at the Imperial Typewriter Company in Leicester went on strike over unequal bonus payments and discrimination in promotion. The shop stewards committee and Transport & General Workers Union branch refused their support, but the strikers stayed on strike for almost 14 weeks. The manufacture of typewriters ceased at Leicester and Hull in 1975

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ADE344 - Documentary stock photograph of Water Witch, a working barge or canal workboat, moored on the water.htm Target=_Blank>Bridgewater Canal at Lymm, near Warrington in Cheshire, North West England. The red, black and green boat is reflected clearly in the still canal water, creating a strong symmetrical winter scene with leafless trees, muted seasonal colour and calm towpath surroundings. The letters B.C.C.L. on the hull suggest a connection with the Bridgewater Canal Company, making the image useful for editorial themes around canal maintenance, working waterways, inland navigation, local transport heritage and the practical upkeep of historic canals. The Bridgewater Canal is one of Britain's most important early industrial waterways, historically associated with the Duke of Bridgewater and the movement of coal and goods into Manchester, and today it remains a popular route for boating, walking, cycling, angling and leisure. Official canal information describes the Bridgewater Canal as a 39-mile historic canal stretching from Runcorn to Leigh in North West England, constructed more than 250 years ago. The image therefore works well for stories about Cheshire waterways, canal history, industrial archaeology, local heritage, British narrowboats, working boats, canal licensing, towpath life and winter walks in Lymm. It can also illustrate issues such as maintaining ageing canal infrastructure, protecting waterway biodiversity, conserving historic navigation routes and supporting outdoor recreation in local communities. The visible still water, bare branches and subdued light indicate a cold late autumn or winter day, with no rain visible and no strong sunshine. The reflection gives the boat added visual impact, while the quiet setting contrasts with the canal's original industrial purpose. This is a commercially useful image for travel, heritage, transport, lifestyle, environmental and local history subjects connected with Lymm, Warrington, Cheshire and the wider Bridgewater Canal corridor.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EBFWG3 - Tower Bridge is a bridge in London. It crosses the River Thames near the Tower of London. The north side of the bridge is Tower Hill, and the south side of the bridge comes down into Bermondsey, robbie, an area in Southwark. It is far more visible than London Bridge, which people often mistake it for. If large boats need to sail under Tower Bridge, the two halves of the bridge lift up to let it under. Many tourists go to London to see the Tower Bridge.
When it was first built, Tower Bridge was the bridge. Bascule is the French word for a see-saw. The bascules are the surfaces raised to allow tall ships to pass through: this happens about 900 times per year. The bridge's deck can be raised to 83deg from the horizontal. Tower Bridge is one of London's most famous sights.
The City of London Corporation held a competition for the design in 1876. Over 50 designs were entered, and in 1884 Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry's design was chosen.
Workers began to build the Tower Bridge in April 1886 and the bridge was opened in 30 June 1894.
In June 2012, the bridge was highlighted on the route of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the Thames

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7B06 - . Health freshly washed red apples on a drainer An Apple A Day keeps the Doctor Away. Photographed on 23 November 2013. Fruit and veg are a source of vitamins, minerals and fibre which may help reduce the risk of diseases like heart disease and some cancers. We all know that it's important for us to eat a variety of at least five portions of fruit and veg each day. The wider historical story is that food culture links domestic cooking with commercial production, markets, cafés, pubs and regional specialities
Photographs of ingredients, dishes and branded products can therefore support both lifestyle subjects and social-history stories about consumption. From a heritage perspective, health imagery can reveal changing medical practice and public attitudes, from clinical equipment and preventive advice to exercise, diet and smoking
What appears routine in one period can become a record of changing standards, legislation and professional practice. In the present 2026 context, current food coverage frequently combines lifestyle with questions of price, health, sourcing and environmental impact
Older packaging and products also offer useful evidence of how branding, portioning and consumer expectations have changed. As of 2026, prevention remains a major theme in UK health policy, covering smoking reduction, physical activity, healthy diet and earlier intervention
Images of older health practices can help illustrate how advice, regulation and expectations have shifted. Looking at the subject's development, food images can document changing tastes, brands and methods of preparation as effectively as they illustrate a meal
Regional products, traditional recipes, independent food businesses and packaging all carry information about consumer culture and local identity. Other strongly related concepts include food photography, home cooking, local produce, consumer food, food retail, hospitality, nutrition, regional food, food provenance, and culinary culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CFEFGG - . Milepost To Prescot 8 Miles, Liverpool 16 Miles on A57 at Liverpool Road, Penketh, Cheshire, England UK. Photographed on 10 March 2012. The recorded location is A57, Liverpool Road, Penketh, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. In historical terms, britain's road landscape has accumulated layers of transport history: old milestones and cast signs coexist with speed limits, parking controls, motorway infrastructure and electronic traffic management
Such details reveal how movement and road safety have been regulated over time. As background, older buildings and artefacts provide tangible evidence that written records cannot fully replace
Their wear, construction, signage and setting help researchers understand local history, design, industry and social life across different periods. During 2026, congestion, road safety and decarbonisation continue to be prominent transport issues
Historic signs, traffic jams and older road infrastructure therefore work both as location records and as evidence of how the road network and travel behaviour have changed. Against the 2026 backdrop, conservation is increasingly considered alongside regeneration, climate resilience and adaptive reuse
The value of a historic subject therefore lies not only in nostalgia but in the evidence it provides about materials, local identity and how places change. In the longer view, street and highway scenes record the practical infrastructure of mobility, including road signs, junctions, bridges, parking controls and changing vehicle use
They also provide a visual history of traffic growth, road engineering and the effort to balance drivers, pedestrians and local communities. Against the 2026 backdrop, congestion, road safety and decarbonisation remain prominent transport issues
Historic signs, traffic jams and earlier road infrastructure therefore work both as location records and as evidence of how the road network and travel behaviour have changed.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 6119561839 - 'The Vines - Autumn Shade - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
While minding my own business munching through my lunchtime Peking duck wrap, I was reminded of the turning of the season. A half brown, half green leaf landed on the bench next to me and a cool breeze made me zip up my jacket. Autumn (or you may call it fall) has arrived.
This track Autumn Shade comes from the Australian alternative rock band The Vines 2002 album 'Highly Evolved'. It was produced by Rob Schnapf, Highly Evolved was an immensely popular debut, part of a trend towards garage rock revival bands known as much for the relentless hype from the UK music press as for their music
The Vines were frequently compared to Nirvana. The debut single, 'Highly Evolved', was chosen as Single of the Week by influential British music magazine New Musical Express. They also voted it the 2nd best album of the year in 2002.
Originally named Rishikesh and formed 1994 in Sydney, they play a musical hybrid of 1960s garage rock and 1990s alternative music.
Since 2006 their line-up has consisted of vocalist and lead guitarist Craig Nicholls, rhythm guitarist Ryan Griffiths, bass guitarist Brad Heald, and drummer Hamish Rosser.
Upon the release of their debut album, The Vines were hailed as \u201cthe second coming of Nirvana' by the British press
their grungy sound was considered reminiscent of the Seattle scene circa \u201991, and Nicholls' erratic on-stage behavior and raw vocals drew comparisons between him and Kurt Cobain. Highly Evolved became a huge success and their accompanying live shows in the early years were praised as 'electrifying' and 'sensational'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BGRC29 - . An on-location editorial image made at Great Britain, UK, showing a subject whose wider significance extends beyond the immediate scene. The photograph is concerned with Typhoon Dunkerton Somersetshire Coal Canal 1794,Waterway Canal boat,narrowboat,England,Great Britain,UK. Other aspects of the subject include everyday Britain, waterside infrastructure, navigation engineering, blue-green infrastructure, industrial waterway history, riparian setting, managed navigation, inland navigation, lock-side environment, towpath landscape, place identity, regional identity, historical comparison, and social landscape. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject sits within continuing debate about biodiversity, waterway maintenance and keeping historic infrastructure safe and operational. As a dated visual record of Great Britain, UK, the frame retains transport arrangements and public activity, making it useful if changing public expectations subsequently changes the scene. The subject also sits alongside archival record, visual archive, waterborne travel, local character, historic transport corridor, changing streetscape, working waterway, and river transport. References to narrowboat, Typhoon, Dunkerton, Waterway, and Somersetshire give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to the named subject. A later view of Great Britain, UK may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. The scene further reflects biodiversity and keeping historic infrastructure safe and operational when considered against later change at Great Britain, UK. Its period value extends to towpath access and the value of canals and rivers as blue-green corridors without losing the local specificity of Great Britain, UK. The frame therefore remains a dated reference for Great Britain, UK and the changing story of the subject shown.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HDR7 - The Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Truro is an Anglican cathedral located in the city of Truro, Cornwall, in the United Kingdom. It was built in the Gothic Revival architectural style fashionable during much of the nineteenth century, and is one of only three cathedrals in the United Kingdom with three spires.
The See (or Diocese) of Truro was established in 1876, and the first bishop, Edward White Benson, was consecrated in 1877. Truro was the first cathedral to be built on a new site in England since Salisbury Cathedral in 1220.
A stained glass window depicting the founding of the cathedral.
Construction began in 1880 on the site of the sixteenth century parish church of St Mary the Virgin to a design by the leading Gothic Revival architect John Loughborough Pearson. St Mary's, a building in the Perpendicular style with a spire 128 feet tall was demolished in October 1880, leaving only the early sixteenth-century south aisle, which was retained to serve as the parish church. From 1880 until 1887 a temporary wooden cathedral was built on an adjacent site. This accommodated fewer than 400 people and was extremely hot in summer and cold in winter. It was in this building that the Bishop introduced the new evening service of Nine Lessons and Carols on Christmas Eve, 1880.
Pearson's design combines the Early English style with certain French characteristics, chiefly spires and rose windows. Truro's resemblance to Lincoln Cathedral is not coincidental: Pearson had been appointed as Lincoln's Cathedral architect and the first Bishop of Truro, Edward Benson, had previously been Canon Chancellor at Lincoln. The central tower and spire stands 250 feet (76 m) tall, while the western towers reach to 200 feet (61 m). Four kinds of stone were used: Mabe granite for the exterior, and St Stephen's granite for the interior, with dressings and shafts of Bath and Polyphant stone. The spires and turret roofs are of stone, except for a copper spire over the bell tower

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF8BM7 - . Farmer in tractor ploughing field in spring, being followed by birds in Lymm, Cheshire, England UK. Photographed on 9 March 2010. The recorded location is A56, Lymm, Cheshire, England, UK. From a heritage perspective, 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. As background, rural and botanical images document the seasonal cycles of the British landscape, from spring flowers and nesting wildlife to summer crops, autumn foliage and winter frost
They can also record changing land management, farming practice and the relationship between cultivated and wild species. From a heritage perspective, panoramic and atmospheric views place individual landmarks within their wider setting
Light, season and weather affect how architecture and landscape are perceived, while distant development can provide clues to the evolving form of a town or coastline. As of 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. Against the 2026 backdrop, biodiversity recovery, climate resilience and land management remain major UK environmental themes
Photographs of crops, wildflowers, insects and seasonal vegetation can therefore support coverage of pollinators, farming, habitat restoration and the effects of increasingly variable weather. As background, farming and allotment imagery records the practical work behind food production, from ploughing and arable crops to small-scale vegetable growing
Allotments expanded strongly during periods of food shortage and remain an important part of British urban and suburban gardening culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEY9FY - . Boy kicking ball past the Shankill Road Mural, Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK, BT13 2AA near Ballysillan. Photographed on 23 June 2005. In the longer view, murals, sculptures and civic artworks turn public space into a record of local culture
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, images of parents, children and couples combine personal emotion with wider social context
They can illustrate care, intergenerational relationships, childhood and companionship while also documenting the environment in which those interactions take place. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that public art and murals remain important to place-making, tourism and regeneration, particularly in city districts where street art has become part of the visitor economy
They also raise questions about conservation, ownership, temporary work and the rapid redevelopment of urban neighbourhoods. During 2026, contemporary editorial use often places ordinary family interaction within broader discussions of public space, services, wellbeing and community life. In historical terms, 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, public art can become part of the identity of a street or neighbourhood, recording political ideas, community 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. Additional high-relevance terminology includes visual culture, cultural identity, community art, urban art, and visual storytelling.

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