Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R15NFM - Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by British artist Antony Gormley located at Crosby Beach in Merseyside, England. It consists of 100 cast iron figures facing towards the sea. The figures are modelled on the artist's own naked body.[1] The work proved controversial due to the naked statues but has increased tourism to the beach. After being exhibited at two other locations it was put on display at Crosby on 1 July 2005. After some controversy Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council decided on 7 March 2007 that the sculptures should be permanently installed at the beach
The work consists of cast iron figures which face out to sea, spread over a 2-mile (3.2 km) stretch of beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands. Each figure is 189 centimetres (6 ft 2 in) tall and weighs around 650 kilograms (1,430 lb). The figures are cast replicas of Gormley's own body. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are revealed and submerged by the sea, and are subject to corrosion by seawater and colonisation by marine animals. The figures were cast at Hargreaves Foundry in Halifax, West Yorkshire and the Joseph and Jesse Siddons Foundry in West Bromwich by foundryman Derek Alexander

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG9AAF - Large outdoor billboard in Warrington, Cheshire, carrying a Halifax contactless payments advert. The design is dominated by blue tones and the word CONTACTLESS in large white capitals, with the strapline The Safe and Easy Way To Pay, a pictured Halifax Visa card, the contactless payment symbol and the Halifax logo with the slogan the people who give you extra. The hoarding promotes the convenience of tap-and-go card spending and reflects the mainstream push by UK banks to normalise cashless payments on the high street.
The image has additional editorial interest because Lloyds Banking Group announced on 1 July 2026 that the Halifax brand will change to Lloyds. The group said Halifax would stop opening new accounts, customers would begin moving to the Lloyds app over time and Halifax branches would be rebranded to Lloyds, with the physical branch network continuing under the Lloyds name. The move marks the retirement of one of Britain's best-known retail banking names, originally founded in 1853 as the Halifax Permanent Benefit Building Society and later part of HBOS plc before becoming part of Lloyds Banking Group.
As a result, surviving Halifax advertising, branch signs and brand assets now carry added documentary value as records of a disappearing high street identity. This roadside advert in Warrington captures the visual language of the Halifax brand in its familiar blue livery, linking themes of banking, personal finance, consumer payments, corporate rebranding, financial-sector consolidation and the changing character of the British high street. Set against an overcast sky and photographed as a large-format roadside panel, the image also illustrates outdoor advertising, everyday card use and the visual presence that major banking brands once maintained across town and city environments

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DECX4H - Close-up documentary stock photograph of Scottish sterling banknotes being taken from a Royal Bank of Scotland cash machine in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. A hand holds colourful Scottish paper money beside the ATM keypad, with the red cancel button, yellow clear button and number pad clearly visible. The image shows everyday personal banking, cash withdrawal, physical currency, retail payments and the continuing visibility of banknotes in a society shaped by contactless cards, mobile payments and online banking. The scene has strong editorial value for stories about high street banking, ATM access, cash machine closures, consumer choice, financial inclusion and the role of cash for residents, visitors and small businesses. Scottish banknotes are issued by authorised Scottish banks rather than the Bank of England, and RBS notes remain legal currency, although the Bank of England explains that Scottish notes are not technically legal tender in either England or Scotland. That distinction often creates confusion for tourists and shoppers travelling between Scotland and the UK, making the image useful for articles about acceptance of Scottish notes, currency awareness and practical travel money. The visible £20 note and other sterling notes also make the photograph relevant for themes including cost of living, cash budgeting, spending power, bank accounts, ATM networks, holiday spending, Scottish identity and the mixed currency landscape within the United Kingdom. Taken in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland and a major tourist and financial centre, the image combines a recognisable banking interface with human action. The tight composition, diagonal notes and cropped keypad give it a practical, real-world feel suitable for news, finance, consumer advice, travel features and banking reports. Lighting appears to be natural or ambient ATM light, with no weather visible, and the image is best read as a candid everyday money and Scottish currency detail.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
I had the pleasure of photographing Dodgy at a festival in the late 1990's. What a sound bunch of lads.
The band's cracking debut album was produced by The Lightning Seeds' Ian Broudie. During the 1990s the band gained much popularity for their live performances. The band concerned themselves with social issues by supporting The Serious Road Trip, War Child, the Liverpool Dockers' Strike, Charter 88 and youth democracy campaigns. The band became the second UK act, after China Drum, to play in Sarajevo after the lifting of the siege, giving a concert at Kuk club in August 1996. They returned to Bosnia in 1997, to film a programme with Kate Thornton in Mostar.
The original line up of the band, Clark, Miller, and Priest, returned with a live album, So Far On 3 Wheels - Dodgy On The Radio, in October 2007. In the summer of 2007, the band announced a reunion tour, featuring the entire original line up. These plans were abandoned however, when Miller fell out of bed, chipping a bone in his arm in the process. The rescheduled tour took place in March 2008.
Dodgy are best known for their hits 'Staying Out For The Summer', 'If You're Thinking Of Me', and 'Good Enough'. Check these out if this has whetted your appetite. Oh and tell 'em I sent you.
------------------------
Art Deco is an eclectic artistic and design style which had its origins in Paris in the first decades of the 20th century. The style originated in the 1920s and continued to be employed until after World War II. The term 'art deco' first saw wide use after an exhibition in 1966, referring to the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts D\u00e9coratifs et Industriels Modernes that was the culmination of high-end style moderne in Paris.
Led by the best designers in the decorative arts such as fashion, and interior design, Art Deco affected all areas of design throughout the 1920s and 1930s, including architecture and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as painting, the graphic arts and film. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, glamorous, functional and modern.
In London, the former Arsenal Stadium boasts the famous East Stand facade. It remains at the football club's old home at Highbury, London Borough of Islington, which was vacated in the summer of 2006. Opened in October 1936, the structure now has Grade II listed status and has been converted into flats. William Bennie, the man behind the project, famously used the Art Deco style in the final design which was seen as one of the most opulent and impressive stands in world football. The London Underground is also famous for many examples of Art Deco architecture.
This joiner from over 20 iphone images is taken in Le Metropolitain in central Halifax, West Yorks. Its a lively cafe bar and brasserie with Art Deco-style design, housed in an elegant Georgian Listed building. There is a courtyard for al fresco dining. My lunch unexpectedly came in a Yorkshire Pudding, which after I had got my head around it was really good. Thanks to Jim for introducing the place to me!
Eclectic and vibrant with leapard print seats, the decor at Le Metro features Thai bronzed figures, walls adorned with Art-Deco posters and tin ceilings from New York. With a bold orange and black colour scheme, the unique interior has a warm, lively ambience.
