Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE74K - The Rams Head public house in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, is shown during a cold winter period in January with light snow covering the ground and a decorated Christmas tree standing outside the pub. The historic building, with its mix of brickwork and traditional architectural features, is set against clear blue skies and low winter sunlight, which highlights the textures of the walls, roof and surrounding outdoor seating areas. Snow settled on benches and pathways reinforces the seasonal setting and the crisp atmosphere of a winter's day in rural England.
Village pubs such as the Rams Head have long played an important role in British social and cultural life, acting as meeting places, landmarks and centres of community activity. During the winter and festive season, pubs often become visual symbols of warmth and tradition, even when photographed without people present. The Christmas tree outside the pub adds a seasonal focal point, linking the image to themes of celebration, tradition and continuity within English village life.
The photograph reflects wider themes of British pub culture, hospitality, leisure and local identity, as well as seasonal change and winter weather in the United Kingdom. It is suitable for editorial use in travel and lifestyle features, hospitality coverage, festive and winter-themed publications, calendars and broader cultural storytelling focused on traditional England, rural communities and the enduring presence of village pubs within the countryside.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE75P - The Parr Arms, a traditional British public house tied to Robinsons Brewery, stands in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, photographed during a cold winter period in January with light snow covering the pub garden and surrounding paved areas. The white-painted pub building, with its distinctive signage, wrought iron gates and lantern-style lights, is shown under clear blue skies and low winter sunlight, which highlights the crisp textures of the exterior and the contrast between snow, brickwork and painted surfaces.
Village pubs such as the Parr Arms have long played an important role in English social life, acting as community meeting places and focal points for rural villages. In winter, particularly during periods of frost and snow, these pubs take on an additional sense of warmth and familiarity, even when photographed without people present. The quiet, undisturbed setting enhances the feeling of calm and nostalgia often associated with traditional English pubs in the countryside.
The image reflects wider themes of British pub culture, hospitality, leisure and local identity, as well as seasonal change and winter weather in England. As a Robinsons Brewery tied house, the pub also represents the long-established brewing traditions of the North West of England. The combination of heritage architecture, village setting and winter snow makes the photograph suitable for editorial use in travel features, lifestyle publications, hospitality coverage, calendars and broader cultural storytelling focused on traditional England and rural community life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM994Y - A wide, documentary street-level view of The Balmoral Hotel on Princes Street in Edinburgh, photographed from the West Register Place area to frame the full fa??ade and the famous clock tower. The building's grand sandstone frontage, ornate roofline and central tower create an unmistakable city landmark, with the clock face clearly visible high above the main elevation. The perspective between surrounding city-centre buildings helps emphasise the Balmoral's scale and its position at one of Edinburgh's most recognisable gateways between the New Town and the Old Town.
The light suggests a cold-season day with clear winter brightness: pale blue sky, crisp edges on the stonework, and cool shadows that bring out carved details across the fa??ade. The overall mood is calm and architectural rather than crowd-focused, making the image highly versatile for editorial use where a clean, identifiable Edinburgh location is needed.
This photograph suits themes including Edinburgh tourism, luxury and heritage hospitality, iconic Scottish architecture, and city-break travel. It also works as a strong general illustration for Princes Street and central Edinburgh, with the clock tower acting as an instantly readable visual cue for the Balmoral and the wider city centre.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM996D - A crisp winter cityscape of central Edinburgh, dominated by the distinctive sculptural Ribbon form crowning W Edinburgh within the St James Quarter development. The layered, spiralling roof feature rises above surrounding rooftops and mid-rise blocks, creating an instantly recognisable focal point in the skyline and a clear marker of the city's newer architecture within the wider historic urban fabric. Bright, low winter sunlight and a pale blue sky give the scene a clean, high-contrast look, with sharp detail across the buildings and the distant ridge line beyond the city.
The image reads as a modern Edinburgh story: regeneration and contemporary design sitting alongside older streets and long-established city views. The St James Quarter setting supports themes of retail and leisure, hospitality, luxury travel, and city-centre redevelopment, while the broader skyline context makes the picture useful for editorial coverage of Edinburgh tourism, winter city breaks, and Scotland's capital as a place of festivals, business travel, and year-round visitor economy. The composition also works well for architecture-led uses, with strong geometric layering, repeating window grids, and the singular ribbon-like crown providing a clear hero feature for headlines and destination pages.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97NJ - A documentary close-up of the historic Robinsons brewery complex in Stockport, framed to emphasise the dense layers of signage and architectural character that make the Unicorn Brewery instantly recognisable. Red brick industrial blocks rise behind older, more ornate front ranges, with multiple pieces of legible branding and wayfinding painted directly onto the buildings. The most prominent rooftop lettering reads F ROBINSON, while lower fa??ades carry traditional trade wording such as BREWERS, BOTTLE and OFFICES, creating a strong visual shorthand for brewing heritage and long-established manufacturing in a town-centre setting. The mix of materials, including patterned brickwork and carved stone detailing around an arched window, adds a slightly Victorian, workmanlike elegance that feels rooted in the North West's industrial past.
The sky is changeable and cold-season in tone, with thick grey cloud and brighter breaks that give soft, even light across the brickwork without harsh shadows. That muted winter feel suits the subject, making the scene look authentic and everyday rather than staged: a working industrial landmark seen as part of the urban fabric. The composition works particularly well for editorial use because it tells the story through readable text and recognisable forms, without requiring people in the frame.
This image can illustrate a wide range of themes including British brewing history, family-run regional businesses, UK food-and-drink production, industrial architecture, and Stockport's heritage identity around the town centre and Underbank area. It is also useful for travel and destination features that reference brewery tours, visitor attractions, and the continuing cultural pull of traditional regional beer brands in Greater Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM9811 - A close-up, documentary view of the Arden Arms pub window on Millgate in Stockport, focusing on the ornate etched glass panel with the bold ARDEN ARMS name set within an elaborate Victorian-style scrollwork design. The glazing acts like a mirror as well as a sign, catching reflections of trees and the sky outside, which gives the image a layered feel where the pub's identity sits on top of the street scene. Warm interior lighting glows faintly behind the glass, suggesting a welcoming bar space inside, while the exterior reflections and cool tones point to a cold-season day.
The reflections show bare or late-season branches and a mottled sky, implying late autumn or winter, with changeable cloud cover and crisp, dry conditions rather than heavy rain. The contrast between the dark window frame, the pale etched panel and the softer colours in the reflected street creates a strong, readable graphic composition that works well for editorial layouts, headlines, and location-led storytelling.
This image is highly usable for themes such as British pub culture, real ale heritage, hospitality and nightlife, and local identity in Greater Manchester. Because the pub name is clear and central, it also functions as a straightforward location identifier for Stockport town centre, and for features about traditional pubs that remain part of everyday life. The decorative craftsmanship of the etched glass adds an extra angle for heritage and design coverage, hinting at the Arden's long history and character without needing to show the full exterior or interior

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM981K - A documentary, street-level view of the Arden Arms on Millgate in Stockport, photographed to emphasise the pub's traditional branding and heritage character. The image centres on the exterior signage: a prominent hanging sign reading ARDEN ARMS and a matching illuminated box sign mounted on the brick fa??ade, both designed for high visibility to pedestrians and passing traffic. The red brickwork, period proportions, and tidy frontage details suggest a long-established town-centre pub, with hanging flower baskets adding a softer, welcoming touch against the harder urban materials.
Seasonal cues come through in the crisp light and the trees visible beyond the building, which show late-season colour and bare branches typical of late autumn or winter. The sky is clear and bright, producing clean edges and strong contrast on the brickwork and sign frames, and giving the scene that cold-weather clarity you often get on a dry day in Greater Manchester. The composition works well as a clear location identifier because the pub name is readable and the building is photographed in a recognisable, matter-of-fact documentary style rather than as a staged hospitality interior.
Editorially, the photo is useful for stories about British pub culture, real ale and cask beer, independent hospitality, and the survival of historic pubs in modern high streets. The Arden Arms is also a listed heritage asset in Stockport, so the image can support coverage about local history, conservation, and traditional buildings still in everyday commercial use. It is equally suitable for travel and lifestyle pieces on Stockport town centre, pub trails, and authentic Northern England streetscapes where pubs remain part of the social fabric.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM983G - A documentary close-up of the entrance signage for Tiamos Continental Caf?? Bar on Great Underbank in Stockport, focusing on a large blue sign with gold lettering reading CONTINENTAL CAF?? ENTRANCE. The sign projects above a recessed stairwell entrance, hinting at a basement or lower-ground venue typical of older town-centre buildings. To the right, a second board advertises the offer in classic caf??-bar language, including WINES & BEERS, SPECIALITY TEAS & COFFEES and PATISSERIE, reinforcing the continental-style positioning and the hospitality function of the premises.
The image leans into texture and age: weathered paint, worn edges, and a slightly peeling fa??ade above the sign suggest a long-used building and the layered character of Stockport's Underbank streets. The angle is slightly upward, catching upper windows and masonry, which helps place the sign within its architectural context rather than isolating it as a graphic. Light is cool and even, consistent with cold-season daylight, helping the lettering remain readable without glare while emphasising the patina of the materials.
Editorially, this photograph is useful for themes around independent caf??s and bars, local hospitality, and the way older high-street signage contributes to place identity. It also supports wider narratives about Stockport's Underbanks as a heritage area experiencing regeneration and a revival of food-and-drink venues. The clear text makes it highly searchable and suitable as a location identifier, while the worn, authentic look provides a strong documentary feel for stories about traditional streets, town-centre change, and the everyday texture of Northern England urban life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM987K - A wide, documentary winter view of The Crown Inn on Heaton Lane in Stockport, a classic North West England pub set hard against the dramatic brick arches of the railway viaduct. The pub's pale painted frontage and traditional multi-chimney roofline sit in sharp contrast to the deep red viaduct masonry towering immediately to the right of frame. The main fascia sign clearly reads Crown Inn, with Boddingtons Beer also visible, anchoring the image in familiar Northern pub history and branding. The scene is lit by low, bright winter sun under a clear blue sky, giving crisp shadows and a clean, cold-weather feel rather than rain or snow.
Outdoor benches and simple railings line the frontage, suggesting a spot where regulars and visitors can sit out when the weather behaves, while the street-level perspective keeps the composition grounded in everyday urban life. The close proximity of the viaduct creates a strong sense of place: a pub that feels shaped by infrastructure, with Victorian engineering looming overhead and the building tucked into the shadow of the arches. It is the kind of location that reads immediately as real rather than curated, with honest materials, working-city textures, and a slightly gritty beauty.
Editorially, the photograph is useful for stories about British pub culture, real ale, community hospitality, and the changing fortunes of traditional pubs in Greater Manchester. It also supports broader themes of industrial heritage and the relationship between historic transport structures and local neighbourhood businesses. The combination of readable signage, recognisable setting, and winter atmosphere makes it a strong general illustration for Stockport, Northern England streetscapes, and heritage pubs beneath the railway lines.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6C3 - A brightly decorated bar boat moored at Paddington Basin on the Grand Union Canal in west London, photographed at Paddington Basin, London W2 1TR. The floating venue features seating, lighting and decorative elements designed for socialising, with the canal and surrounding modern buildings forming a distinctive urban backdrop.
Paddington Basin is part of a wider regeneration area that has transformed former industrial and transport-related land into a mixed-use district combining offices, housing, restaurants and public spaces. The presence of bar boats and leisure craft reflects a broader revival of London's historic canal network, which once played a crucial role in freight transport but is now increasingly associated with recreation, tourism and lifestyle uses.
The Grand Union Canal, one of the longest canals in the UK, runs through west and north London, linking the capital with the Midlands. In areas such as Paddington Basin, the canal has become a focal point for waterside placemaking, where floating caf??s, bars and cultural venues add vibrancy to the public realm and encourage informal social interaction.
Scenes like this are often used editorially to illustrate themes of urban regeneration, adaptive reuse of infrastructure, the growth of waterside leisure economies and changing patterns of city life. Photographed in daylight with people, seating and moored boats visible, the image captures the canal as a lived-in urban space rather than a purely historic relic.
The photograph offers strong editorial value for subjects including London waterways, floating hospitality, contemporary urban leisure, tourism and the reinvention of post-industrial environments, making it suitable for travel features, lifestyle coverage and urban studies publications.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6EX - A brightly illuminated Hello Dundee neon sign displayed on a KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) restaurant in Dundee city centre, photographed at night at Reform Street, Dundee DD1 1SG. The sign combines the instantly recognisable KFC chicken icon with a locally tailored greeting, blending global fast-food branding with a sense of local place and identity.
KFC is one of the world's most recognisable fast-food brands, and its presence in Dundee reflects the wider spread of multinational food chains across UK city centres. The use of neon-style lighting and bold red and white colours is designed to stand out within the night-time streetscape, appealing to evening customers and contributing to the visual language of the modern night-time economy.
Dundee city centre has undergone significant redevelopment in recent years, with changes to retail patterns, hospitality and leisure uses reshaping how central streets are experienced after dark. Fast-food outlets and takeaway restaurants form an important part of this landscape, serving students, shift workers, visitors and late-night crowds alongside bars, cinemas and music venues.
The phrase Hello Dundee highlights how international brands increasingly adopt localised messaging to create familiarity and connection with specific cities, a strategy common in contemporary marketing and brand identity. Photographed against a dark background, the glowing neon sign isolates the imagery and text, making the image suitable for editorial use relating to urban culture, consumer branding, fast-food industry, night-time economies and the interaction between global corporations and local cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCK3C - The exterior of The Britons Protection, a well-known historic public house on Great Bridgewater Street in Manchester city centre. The pub's distinctive black-and-white fa??ade, traditional signage and architectural detailing reflect its Victorian origins and long-standing place within Manchester's drinking and social history.
Photographed in daylight under a clear sky, suggesting fair spring or summer weather, the image captures the building in calm urban conditions, with soft natural light highlighting the decorative frontage and windows. The Britons Protection is widely regarded as one of Manchester's most traditional real-ale pubs and has long been associated with CAMRA and Britain's cask ale movement.
Surrounded by modern city-centre development and cultural venues, the pub stands as a surviving example of historic hospitality architecture in a rapidly changing urban environment. The image is well suited for editorial use illustrating British pub heritage, real-ale culture, independent hospitality, listed buildings, and Manchester's evolving cityscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAXHX - A blue neon sign reading Dimitri's inside Campfield Arcade on Deansgate in Manchester city centre, England. The sign marks Dimitri's, a long-established independent Greek and Mediterranean restaurant known for its mezz??-style dining. Dimitri's has operated in Manchester since 1989, making it one of the city's longest-running Mediterranean restaurants and a well-known part of Manchester's food and nightlife scene.
The restaurant specialises in Greek and eastern Mediterranean dishes served as small sharing plates, reflecting a social style of dining that has remained popular with both local residents and visitors for decades. Located close to Deansgate and Liverpool Road, Dimitri's forms part of the wider Campfield and Castlefield area, a district that has seen significant regeneration while retaining long-standing independent businesses.
The neon signage reflects late-20th-century restaurant branding and contributes to the character of Manchester's evening economy, where independent eateries, bars, and cultural venues coexist alongside newer developments. The image captures themes of longevity in the hospitality sector, independent food culture, and the role of established restaurants in shaping the social life and identity of city centres in contemporary Britain.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6F7 - An exterior view of the distinctive orange signage of easyHotel, photographed on Dale Street in Manchester city centre at 33 Dale Street, Manchester M1 2HF. The sign forms part of the wider easy brand family, which includes easyJet and other low-cost consumer services operating across travel, hospitality and retail sectors.
easyHotel represents the extension of the low-cost, no-frills business model into the urban hotel market, offering compact accommodation aimed at budget-conscious travellers, city-break visitors and business users. The bold orange branding and simple typography are designed for immediate recognition within busy city-centre streetscapes and reflect the brand's emphasis on affordability and standardisation.
In recent years, the easy brand has also attracted wider attention due to a number of high-profile legal and court challenges concerning trademark use, brand licensing and intellectual property protection. These disputes have highlighted the commercial value of strong visual branding and the complexities involved in controlling the use of a well-known corporate identity across multiple sectors and jurisdictions. As a result, signage such as this has taken on broader editorial relevance beyond hospitality, illustrating debates around brand ownership, copyright enforcement and corporate power in modern consumer economies.
Dale Street lies within Manchester's central commercial area, close to retail, nightlife and transport links, making it a typical location for budget hotels serving short-stay urban visitors. Photographed in daylight with surrounding architecture visible, the image documents both a recognisable hospitality brand and the wider themes of urban tourism, low-cost travel, and contemporary brand governance in the UK.

The venue is located close to the Canal Street area, which has been central to Manchester's LGBTQ+ social life for several decades and is internationally recognised as one of the UK's most visible and established gay districts.
The building fa??ade features bold, colourful signage incorporating rainbow imagery, symbolising inclusivity and LGBTQ+ pride. Decorative lighting and hanging baskets contribute to the bar's lively street presence, reflecting the area's role in Manchester's night-time economy and cultural identity.
Manchester's Gay Village has played an important role in the city's social history, activism and visibility for LGBTQ+ communities, particularly from the late twentieth century onwards. Venues such as Thompson's Bar continue to function as social hubs, meeting places and cultural landmarks within the city centre.
Photographed in daylight with urban surroundings visible, the image documents both the physical streetscape of Sackville Street and the wider cultural significance of LGBTQ+ venues within contemporary Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BKDJFF - Former brewery site: Stanhope Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L8, England, UK
Higsons was a major Liverpool brewery founded in 1780, historically based on Stanhope Street in the Baltic Triangle area of the city. Brewing ceased in the 1990s, but the brand remains strongly associated with Liverpool brewing heritage. A close-up photograph of a Higsons Pale Ale cask ale beer clip mounted on a traditional handpull inside a Liverpool pub, England. The blue circular badge displays the Higsons branding, including the founding date of 1780 and the wording Liverpool's Original Beer, reinforcing the brand's deep association with the city's brewing history.
Higsons was one of Liverpool's most prominent historic breweries, operating for over two centuries from its main site on Stanhope Street before closing in the late twentieth century. The brewery played a significant role in Liverpool's pub culture, supplying beers to tied houses across the city and wider Merseyside.
Beer clips such as this are a defining feature of British cask ale service, used to identify the beer being served from hand-pulled pumps on pub bars. Their continued presence reflects the enduring popularity of traditional real ale and the influence of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) in preserving British beer heritage.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating British pub culture, real ale traditions, historic breweries, Liverpool's brewing heritage, cask ale service, alcohol branding, and the cultural significance of traditional pubs in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX1Y - A large-scale mural portrait of J?rgen Klopp, long-serving manager of Liverpool FC, painted on the gable wall of the Spanish Caravan pub on Slater Street in Liverpool city centre. The artwork incorporates prominent Erdinger Weissbr??u branding, including the brewery logo and a detailed illustration of a glass of Erdinger wheat beer, blending commercial advertising with contemporary street art.
Klopp is shown smiling in a relaxed pose, capturing his popular public image and close association with Liverpool's football identity. The mural reflects the strong cultural crossover between football, pubs and social life in the city, where football figures often become symbols extending beyond sport into wider civic pride.
Situated close to Liverpool's Georgian Quarter and cultural venues, the mural contributes to the city's vibrant street-level visual culture and acts as a recognisable landmark for football fans and visitors. It also illustrates how branded murals and public art are increasingly used by hospitality venues to create distinctive urban presence while celebrating local sporting heroes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X2CG2F - This image shows the exterior of Milnes of Rose Street, a well-known traditional pub situated on Rose Street in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town, Scotland. The photograph captures the distinctive frontage of the bar, with its ornate gold lettering reading Milnes of Rose Street mounted above large street-facing windows. Warm interior lighting is visible through the glass, creating a welcoming contrast with the darker exterior and reflecting the pub's role as a social space within the busy city centre.
Rose Street runs parallel to Princes Street and has long been associated with Edinburgh's pub culture, serving office workers, shoppers, tourists, and locals alike. Milnes is one of a number of independent and long-established bars on the street, contributing to its reputation as a lively yet traditional drinking destination within the Georgian New Town. The surrounding architecture and streetscape form part of Edinburgh's UNESCO World Heritage Site, adding cultural and historical context to the location.
The image highlights elements of contemporary urban hospitality, including visible bar fittings, hanging lights, and signage, while retaining the character of a classic Scottish city pub.

How much does an Escapade Silverstone house cost?
Escapade Silverstone prices start at ?850,000 for a countryside 2 bedroom property and go up to ?2.2m for a trackside 4 bedroom property.
Can you live in them?
This is where it gets interesting. The Escapade Silverstone development is designed to be an extension of Silverstone's current hospitality offering and as such they are fully managed by Silverstone circuit themselves, right down to the matching furnishings.
If you purchase one of the properties you can live in it for a pre-determined number of days each year. Go over that number of days and you have to pay a nightly room rate to stay in your own property, albeit at a 35% discount over standard rates.
You can stay for 30 nights multiplied by the number of bedrooms in your property. If you have a 4 bedroom trackside residency, you have 120 ?bedroom usage nights' per calendar year that you can stay.
During the major events at Silverstone, nightly bedroom usage rates are multiplied by a preset factor. At the F1 the nights are multiplied by 5, and all of the bedrooms in the property are assumed to be used regardless of how full it is.
So if just one couple stays in a 4 bedroom trackside suite for 3 nights at the F1, they would use up 60 (half) of their yearly bedroom usage nights.
an investment with petrolhead perks
Owning one of the Escapade Silverstone properties is like a cross between owning an AirBnB and a Timeshare.
Think of the whole Escapade development as a hotel complex. Now think of the money to purchase one of the properties as an investment in the hotel. As a perk of your investment you get a number of ?free' night's accommodation in the property with incredible views of the circuit, as well as a number of other bonuses including free access to Silverstone events, free access to the Escapade clubhouse

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP38P - The White Bear public house, located on Canute Place in Knutsford, Cheshire, is shown here in daylight with its distinctive black-and-white half-timbered facade and thatched roof. The building is a long-established local landmark in this historic Cheshire market town, reflecting traditional English inn architecture and pub culture.
Flower baskets and planted borders add seasonal colour to the frontage, reinforcing the pub's role as a welcoming focal point within the town centre. Knutsford is well known for its historic streetscape, independent businesses, and proximity to rural Cheshire countryside, and the White Bear remains a recognisable symbol of British hospitality and heritage pub design.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R9J0E4 - The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is a registered trade union[2] in the United Kingdom for those in the profession of nursing. It was founded in 1916, receiving its royal charter in 1928. Queen Elizabeth II was the patron until her death in 2022. The majority of members are registered nurses
however student nurses and healthcare assistants are also members. There is also a category of membership, at a reduced cost, for retired people.
The RCN describes its mission as representing nurses and nursing, promoting excellence in practice and shaping health policies. It has a network of stewards, safety representatives and union learning representatives as well as advice services for members. Services include a main library in London, and regional libraries. The RCN Institute provides courses for nurses.
History
The College of Nursing Ltd was founded on 27 March 1916, with 34 members, as a professional organisation for trained nurses
In 2018, after a pay agreement was not clearly explained to the membership, the Chief Executive and General Secretary Janet Davies resigned and Dame Donna Kinnair was appointed in an acting capacity. She was confirmed in the role in April 2019. A motion of no confidence in the RCN Council was called shortly afterwards and passed in September 2018 with 78% of votes, but on a turnout when only 3.7% of the membership voted. As well as the Chief Executive and General Secretary, the Director of Member Relations had previously resigned. Twelve of the 17 council members resigned, 10 of them standing for re-election in the subsequent election.
In 2019, the RCN's first strike ? limited to Northern Ireland, over staffing and pay issues?took place
In 2022, the RCN held a strike ballot over pay, held separately across NHS trusts and boards. Its members went on strike as part of the 2022?2023 National Health Service strikes. The RCN commented that from 2010 (the start of the government's austerity programme) to 2022, pay for nurses had fallen by 20%

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ39Y - This image shows the outdoor seating area of McHugh's Bar in Queen's Square, Belfast city centre. Established in 1711, McHugh's is widely regarded as the oldest pub in Belfast and remains a popular meeting place for locals, office workers, and visitors. The pub's distinctive green-painted frontage is decorated with hanging flower baskets, reinforcing its traditional Irish pub character.
The photograph was taken in bright summer conditions, with strong sunlight and leafy shadows falling across the pavement. Patrons are seated at outdoor tables beneath branded Magners umbrellas, while others stand and chat nearby, creating a relaxed and sociable atmosphere typical of warm-weather drinking in the city centre.
The surrounding streetscape combines historic buildings with modern urban life, reflecting Belfast's layered architectural and cultural history. McHugh's long-established presence at Queen's Square places it close to major landmarks such as the Albert Memorial Clock and the waterfront area, making it a familiar and well-photographed feature of the city.
The image captures everyday pub culture in Belfast, blending historic continuity with contemporary social life, and highlighting the enduring role of traditional bars as informal public spaces within Northern Ireland's capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3B7 - This image shows a chalkboard A-frame sign placed on a pedestrian pavement outside a bar, using humour and irony to attract attention. The sign initially advertises Free cocktails and topless bartenders in bold handwritten lettering, before undercutting the claim with the phrase false advertising at the bottom. The joke relies on deliberate misdirection, a familiar style of British pub and bar humour designed to stop passers-by and provoke a smile.
The sign is painted in contrasting white chalk on a dark background and framed by a turquoise-painted wooden A-board, giving it a casual, informal appearance typical of independent bars and pubs. The surrounding pavement and shopfronts suggest a busy urban street, likely in a town or city centre with foot traffic and nightlife activity.
Such novelty signage is commonly used as a low-cost marketing tactic within the hospitality sector, blending comedy, irony, and street-level advertising to engage potential customers. The image captures a light-hearted moment of everyday urban culture, reflecting how humour is often used in public spaces to cut through advertising fatigue and create a sense of personality for bars and pubs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PM - This image shows the decorative hanging shop sign outside The Dolls Hospital on Toad Lane in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The sign, titled Toys & Dolls, features traditional illustrated artwork and text describing the business as master toymakers and purveyors of playthings, with references to antique and reproduction dolls and a dolls' hospital service.
Toad Lane is one of Rochdale's most historically significant streets and is closely associated with the town's commercial and cooperative heritage. Independent specialist retailers such as The Dolls Hospital contribute to the character of the area, offering niche craft skills and traditional services that contrast with modern chain retail.
The sign itself is suspended from a wrought iron bracket and designed in a deliberately old-fashioned style, evoking Victorian and Edwardian shop signage. Its weathered appearance and detailed illustration underline the shop's emphasis on heritage, craftsmanship, and the repair and restoration of dolls rather than mass-produced modern toys.
Photographed in clear daylight, the image highlights the role of traditional hanging signs in British town centres, where they remain an important visual marker of independent shops and specialist trades. This photograph is well suited for editorial use covering retail heritage, historic high streets, traditional craftsmanship, and the cultural character of northern English towns.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R64T7M - This photograph shows the exterior of Ye Olde John O'Gaunt, a long-established public house located at 53 Market Street in Lancaster city centre. The pub's traditional frontage features painted timberwork, decorative stained glass windows, and prominent gold lettering, marking it out as a character building within the historic streetscape of Lancaster.
The pub is named after John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and one of the most powerful figures in fourteenth-century England. As the fourth son of King Edward III, John of Gaunt gave his name to the Duchy of Lancaster, which remains closely associated with the city. Pubs bearing his name are found across England, reflecting his enduring place in national and regional history.
Ye Olde John O'Gaunt has served generations of locals and visitors and forms part of Lancaster's rich pub heritage, linked to the city's role as a historic county town, port, and centre of trade. Market Street itself lies close to other significant civic and commercial buildings, reinforcing the pub's role as a social hub within the urban fabric.
The image captures everyday life outside the pub, with people gathered at the entrance and window, illustrating the continued social function of traditional British pubs in town centres. Photographed in daylight, the scene is well suited for editorial use covering British pub culture, historic inns, Lancaster heritage, and the lived character of English market towns.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMR9 - This image shows the exterior of The Nags Head, a well-known public house located at 9 Orford Road in the heart of Walthamstow Village, East London. The pub is instantly recognisable by its distinctive green glazed tile facade, contrasting pink-painted woodwork, and traditional hanging signage, which together give it a strong visual identity within the local streetscape.
Outdoor wooden tables and benches line the pavement outside the pub, creating a popular space for al fresco drinking and dining, particularly during warmer months. The scene reflects the village-like character of Orford Road, which is known for its independent shops, caf??s, restaurants, and historic buildings, offering a quieter contrast to the busier parts of Walthamstow further south.
The Nags Head has long been part of Walthamstow's social life, functioning as a neighbourhood pub and community meeting place. The photograph was taken in daylight under an overcast but bright sky, which evenly lights the tiled exterior and architectural details without harsh shadows.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering London pub culture, neighbourhood life, independent hospitality, East London streetscapes, food and drink tourism, and the character of historic village centres within the capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3WMTW - This image shows the illuminated neon sign for The Rolling Scones Cafe, located within God's Own Junkyard on the Ravenswood Industrial Estate in Walthamstow, East London. The caf?? forms an integral part of the visitor experience at the venue, providing food and drink amid one of London's most distinctive collections of neon signage.
God's Own Junkyard is internationally recognised for its dense, immersive displays of vintage and custom-made neon signs, many of which have appeared in films, television, and music videos. The Rolling Scones Caf?? sits among this visual overload, serving visitors, photographers, and tourists who come to experience the space as both an art installation and a cultural attraction.
The sign itself uses flowing red neon script spelling The Rolling Scones, with a smaller illuminated Cafe panel beneath, mounted against industrial brickwork typical of former light-industrial buildings in the area. The contrast between utilitarian architecture and expressive neon typography reflects the wider character of the Junkyard, where commercial signage is recontextualised as art.
Photographed in daylight, the image highlights the continued relevance of neon signage in contemporary creative spaces. It is well suited to editorial use covering London cafes, independent hospitality, creative venues, neon art, cultural tourism, and the adaptive reuse of industrial estates in East London.

The bright red catering vehicle is fitted with an open service hatch, menu boards, and bold branding advertising Indian street food to passing shoppers and office workers.
Street food vans like Mr Bombay form an important part of London's contemporary food culture, offering quick, affordable meals inspired by global cuisines. Indian street food has become particularly popular, drawing on flavours and dishes associated with Mumbai and other cities, adapted for the UK market environment.
The scene is photographed in daylight within the covered market area, with customers and market activity visible in the background. The contrast between the vintage-style van design and the modern glass-and-steel market surroundings reflects the blend of tradition and contemporary urban life that characterises Spitalfields.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3YB9N - This image shows Chi Chi + The Pasta Family operating a street food stall at Old Spitalfields Market in East London. The stall features bold branding and a fully open kitchen, allowing customers to watch pasta being prepared and cooked to order.
Chi Chi + The Pasta Family specialises in Italian street food, with a focus on fresh pasta dishes inspired by traditional Italian cooking and adapted for the fast-paced market environment. Clear menu boards, bright lighting, and staff in branded clothing create a strong visual identity and reinforce the stall's emphasis on quality, speed, and approachability.
The photograph captures a moment of interaction between staff and customer during service, reflecting the informal, social nature of street food culture. The surrounding market setting situates the business within one of London's best-known food destinations, popular with office workers, residents, and tourists.
Taken indoors under artificial lighting within the covered market, the image is well suited to editorial use covering London street food, independent food businesses, Italian cuisine, market culture, casual dining, and the everyday life of Old Spitalfields Market.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55J81 - This image shows The Trafalgar Tavern, a well-known historic riverside pub located on the south bank of the River Thames in Greenwich, South East London. The building's distinctive cream and pastel facade faces directly onto the river, making it one of the most recognisable landmarks along this stretch of the Thames.
Originally built in the early 19th century, the Trafalgar Tavern has long been associated with Greenwich's maritime past and has been frequented over the years by sailors, merchants, politicians, and visitors. Its prominent riverside position has made it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, particularly for dining and socialising with views across the Thames toward the Isle of Dogs.
The photograph was taken in the evening, with soft daylight illuminating the waterfront and creating a relaxed, social atmosphere. Boats are moored in the foreground on the river, while people can be seen gathering along the riverside promenade beneath rows of trees, suggesting a busy and convivial scene during fair weather.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering London pubs, riverside architecture, Greenwich tourism, hospitality, leisure, British social life, and the enduring appeal of Thames-side landmarks in the capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R7A3MT - The Whittington Stone is an 1821 monumental stone and statue of a cat at the foot of Highgate Hill, a street, in Archway. It marks roughly where it is recounted that a forlorn character of Dick Whittington, loosely based on Richard Whittington, returning to his home from the city of London after losing faith as a scullion in a scullery, heard Bow Bells ringing from 4+1?2 miles (7.2 km) away, prophesying his good fortune leading to the homage Turn again Whittington, thrice Lord Mayor of London! This quotation and a short history of the man cover two faces of the stone. The pub next to it is of the same name.
Details
The place where Whittington's Stone stands, or stood, in which the stone appears as the base or plinth of a cross, with part of the pillar still remaining, as drawn by Chatelain in 1745
The large tablet was erected in 1821, restored in 1935, and the cat sculpture was added in 1964. It is a two-segment slab of Portland stone, the inscription to the south-west side now almost completely eroded, that to the north-east [tells] the career of the medieval merchant and City dignitary Sir Richard Whittington (c.1354?1423), including his [three/four] terms as Lord Mayor. The memorial marks the site where 'Dick Whittington', returning home discouraged after a disastrous attempt to make his fortune in the City, heard the bells of St Mary-le-Bow ring out, 'Turn again Whittington, thrice Lord Mayor of London.' On top is the 1964 sculpture of a cat by Jonathan Kenworthy, in polished-black Kellymount limestone. Iron railings, oval in plan, with upper flourishes and spearhead finials above and an intersecting circular return (an overthrow), surround it. The stone and railings are negligibly raised by a small broad stone plinth mainly set into the surrounding pavement. It has had statutory protection as listed, in the initial grade II category, since 1972.
The location of the stone was considered the northern part of Upper Holloway, until some decades after the n

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23C2 - The interior of The Flask, a historic public house on Flask Walk in Hampstead, north London. The image shows the traditional bar area with dark wood panelling, shelves of wine and spirits, chalkboard menus listing beers and bar snacks, and warm pendant lighting suspended over the counter.
The Flask dates back to the early 18th century and is known for retaining much of its historic character, including period-style fittings and a layout typical of long-established London pubs. The interior reflects a balance between everyday functionality and heritage, with practical bar design sitting alongside decorative details that evoke the pub's long social history.
Photographed in natural indoor light during normal service, the image documents everyday pub life in Hampstead, illustrating themes of British pub culture, hospitality, and the continued use of historic interiors as living social spaces rather than preserved museum pieces. It is well suited for editorial use relating to London lifestyle, heritage pubs, food and drink culture, and urban social history. The Flask in Hampstead is owned by Fuller, Smith & Turner (Fuller's), one of London's best-known historic brewing companies. The pub has origins dating back to the early 18th century, when it began life as a small alehouse serving travellers on the road north out of London, taking its name from the stone flasks once used to carry spa water from nearby Hampstead wells. Over time it evolved into a substantial village public house and became embedded in Hampstead's social and literary life, frequented by writers, artists and local residents drawn to its discreet location and informal atmosphere. Despite rebuilding and refurbishment over the centuries, The Flask has retained its character as a neighbourhood pub rather than a showpiece venue, a continuity reinforced under Fuller's stewardship, which has generally favoured traditional pub identities, cask ale, and long-term community use over aggressive rebranding.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23D7 - The exterior of The Duke of Hamilton, a long-established public house on New End in Hampstead, north London, photographed in the early evening as interior lights glow behind the windows. The pub is owned by Fuller, Smith & Turner (Fuller's), one of London's best-known historic brewing companies, founded in 1845 and closely associated with traditional cask ale and neighbourhood pubs.
The Duke of Hamilton has served the Hampstead community for well over a century, evolving from a Victorian-era local into a modern yet traditionally styled pub while retaining its role as a social meeting place. Its period-style frontage, lantern lighting and covered exterior reflect the architectural language of historic London public houses, designed to be welcoming and visible in the evening hours.
Photographed at dusk, the image captures everyday pub life in Hampstead village, illustrating the continued importance of locally rooted pubs within London neighbourhoods, as well as the enduring influence of long-established regional brewers in shaping the character of Britain's pub landscape. The Duke of Hamilton on New End in Hampstead is a long-established Victorian public house that emerged during the late 19th century as the village expanded beyond its earlier rural and spa-town character into a more settled residential suburb of London. Built to serve local residents rather than transient travellers, the pub developed as a classic neighbourhood local, providing a social centre for Hampstead's growing population of clerks, tradespeople and later professionals. Over time it weathered the decline of traditional pubs in the mid-to-late 20th century, adapting its offer while retaining its period frontage and village-scale atmosphere. Today the Duke of Hamilton is operated by Fuller, Smith & Turner, whose stewardship reflects a broader continuity of London brewing and pub culture, and the building remains a familiar fixture in Hampstead life, linking the area's Victorian past with its co

A freshly poured pint of golden ale sits on the polished wooden bar, with the distinctive pump clips arranged behind it, representing a mix of independent and historic London breweries.
The scene captures the traditional presentation of cask-conditioned beer in an English pub, with hand-pulled pumps, branded clips, and a well-stocked back bar visible in the background. These beers reflect the diversity of London's brewing scene, combining long-established names such as Young's with newer independent breweries that have contributed to the city's modern craft-beer revival.
Photographed indoors under warm ambient lighting, the image documents everyday pub culture in England, illustrating themes of social life, hospitality, and British brewing heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNGX - This image shows the exterior of the Three Pigeons, a traditional public house located at 35 Tanners Lane in Warrington, Cheshire (postcode WA2 7NL). The building occupies a prominent street-corner position and features a red-brick upper storey with a white-painted ground floor and black architectural detailing around the windows and entrances.
Pubs such as the Three Pigeons form part of the historic fabric of English towns, serving as long-established social spaces within residential neighbourhoods. The architectural style reflects a practical late 19th or early 20th century pub design, intended to be both visible and accessible within a mixed urban streetscape.
The signage and fa??ade identify the building clearly as a licensed premises, while the surrounding street context places it within a typical Warrington setting, close to housing and local services. The image documents the pub as a physical landmark within the community, regardless of changes in the wider hospitality sector.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering British pub culture, neighbourhood life, historic public houses, urban architecture, and the role of pubs within towns such as Warrington.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNFK - This image shows the exterior of the Saracens Head, located on Wilderspool Causeway in Warrington, Cheshire (postcode WA4 1BS). The building is a substantial red-brick public house with strong Victorian architectural character, including decorative brick detailing, gables, and traditional pub signage.
The Saracens Head forms part of the estate of JW Lees, one of the North West's longest-established independent breweries, founded in 1828. Pubs such as this reflect the historic tied-house model that shaped much of England's pub landscape and remain central to local social life.
Wilderspool is an area closely associated with Warrington's industrial and residential growth, and the Saracens Head stands as a long-established community landmark along the historic route of Wilderspool Causeway. The building's scale and design reflect the importance of pubs as civic and social spaces in late 19th-century England.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering British pub culture, real ale heritage, historic architecture, brewery estates, community venues, and the changing role of traditional pubs in modern England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNGE - This image shows The Causeway, a former public house located on Wilderspool Causeway in Warrington, Cheshire (postcode WA4 1AD). The substantial red-brick and rendered building, with gabled elevations and decorative detailing, reflects late Victorian or Edwardian pub architecture designed to act as a prominent roadside landmark.
Formerly operated by Pubmaster, the pub is pictured closed and vacant, illustrating the long-term decline of many suburban and arterial-route public houses across England. Changes in drinking habits, increased regulation, and economic pressures have resulted in widespread closures, leaving buildings such as this awaiting redevelopment or reuse.
Situated on a key route into Warrington, The Causeway would once have served as an important social hub for local residents and travellers alike. Its current empty state highlights the physical and social legacy of pub closures on local communities and streetscapes.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering the decline of British pubs, hospitality industry change, community identity, vacant commercial property, regeneration debates, and the architectural heritage of public houses in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3JRC4 - This image shows a clear drinking glass placed on a pub bar counter, repurposed as a tip jar with a handwritten label reading Tips for my new boobs. The deliberately cheeky message uses humour and provocation to encourage customers to leave gratuities, reflecting the informal and often playful culture found in many bars and pubs.
Behind the glass, shelves stocked with spirits and bottles create a familiar hospitality backdrop, while the worn wooden bar surface suggests a well-used, lived-in drinking space. The message is written in marker pen on paper inside the glass, emphasising its improvised, personal nature rather than corporate branding.
The image speaks to wider themes around tipping culture, service industry pay, workplace humour, and body-positive or self-deprecating jokes commonly used by bar staff to engage customers. It also reflects contemporary attitudes to openness, banter, and informal fundraising within hospitality settings.
Photographed indoors under low bar lighting, the image is suitable for editorial use covering nightlife, pubs, hospitality work, tipping culture, humour in the workplace, and social interaction in bars.

Mahsa Amini's death could be the spark that ignites Iran around women's rights
Weronika Strzyy?ska
On the day that news of Mahsa Amini's death spread throughout Iran, a young woman with a shaved head joined protesters who had gathered outside Kasra hospital, where Amini had lain in a coma since her violent arrest by Iran's morality police days earlier.
In her hand she carried a plastic bag full of her long hair, shorn off in a gesture of solidarity with Amini and in defiance of the increasing crackdown on women by the regime.
A week later, and protests sparked by Amini's death are raging in the province of Kurdistan and Tehran as well as cities such as Rasht, Isfahan and Qom, one of Iran's most religiously conservative cities.
The rage across Iran at the brutal pointlessness of Amini's death has lit the fires of protest and the increasing desperation of the authorities to extinguish it are, some believe, a sign of the growing strength and momentum of Iran's women's rights movement.
Women's issues have long been a catalyst for broader political action in Iran, said Annabelle Sreberny, professor emeritus at the Iranian Studies Centre at Soas University of London. This could be it. It could be the moment when people motivated by all the problems facing Iran today, like rising inflation, ecological crisis and lack of democratic participation, coalesce around these women's issues to challenge the regime.
During the past week women have been at the forefront of many of the demonstrations, shaving their heads and burning their headscarves in defiance of the strict hijab law and its brutal enforcement that led to 22-year-old Amini's arrest and allegedly her death.
The women's movement in Iran started in the first month of the Islamic Republic and has been simmering for at least the last 20 years, said Sreberny.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KF7FB4 - Ye Olde Starre Inne is a pub in the city centre of York, in England. The main block of the pub is a timber-framed structure, constructed in the mid-16th century, and a wing to its left was added in about 1600. By 1644, it was an inn named The Starre, the buildings lying at the back of a coaching yard, off the north side of Stonegate. This makes it the pub in York which can demonstrate the earliest date for its licence. After the Battle of Marston Moor the inn was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers.
Pub sign across Stonegate
In 1662, the pub was sold for ?250, and in 1683, Edward Thompson inherited it. In 1733, the pub's landlord was Thomas Bulman, and he signed an agreement with the owners of two shops on Stonegate that he could attach a sign to their premises, to hang across the street. A sign advertising the pub has hung across the street ever since.
The pub was extended in the early-18th century. In the 1840s, with the coming of the railway, the coaching yard was infilled with a new building, and the pub is now approached via a passageway underneath part of this building. Stables lay behind the pub and could be accessed from Duncombe Place, making the pub a popular location for visiting actors and circus performers.
In the late-19th century, the pub was again extended, at which time, it was known as Boddy's Inn. Surviving internal features include an early-18th century staircase, some 17th-century panelling, and an assortment of benches, glass and panelling from the 19th-century refit. Its former bar screen, of stained glass, probably dates from the 1890s and is believed to have been designed by J. W. Knowles & Co. who were based at 35 Stonegate.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WXF - This image shows the interior of a caf?? in York featuring individual work pods, designed to provide quiet, semi-private spaces for customers working remotely or studying. The pods are constructed with simple, modern materials including plywood panels and muted painted surfaces, reflecting contemporary caf?? and coworking design trends.
Visible signage lists a range of teas and drinks, reinforcing the dual purpose of the space as both a traditional coffee shop and a functional workspace. The numbered pods indicate structured seating, allowing customers to work individually while remaining within a social caf?? environment.
Caf?? work pods have become increasingly common in UK cities, particularly following shifts toward remote and hybrid working. They cater to freelancers, students, digital nomads, and professionals seeking an alternative to home working or formal offices.
Photographed to show layout, materials, and signage, the image documents the evolving role of caf??s as multifunctional spaces supporting modern work habits. It is well suited for editorial use covering remote working, urban lifestyle, modern caf?? culture, coworking trends, and contemporary interior design in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WYK - This image shows a close-up detail of a stained glass pub window bearing the words Smoke Room, formed in leaded lettering against amber-coloured glass. Such signage was common in traditional English pubs, where drinking spaces were historically divided into areas such as public bars, saloons, tap rooms, and smoke rooms.
The smoke room was typically a more comfortable or enclosed area where patrons could smoke pipes or cigarettes, reflecting social customs of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although smoking is now prohibited in enclosed public spaces in the UK, the architectural features associated with these rooms remain an important part of pub heritage.
Decorative stained and leaded glass windows are characteristic of historic British pub interiors, combining function, privacy, and visual identity. In cities like York, many pubs retain these features as part of their listed or conservation-area status.

The term tap room traditionally referred to a more informal area of a pub where beer was served directly from the cask, often at lower prices and frequented by local regulars. Such spaces played an important role in British social life, particularly in historic cities like York.
Architectural details like stained glass pub windows combine functional signage with decorative craftsmanship, contributing to the distinctive character of British pub interiors and exteriors. These features are increasingly valued as part of the UK's cultural and architectural heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59X28 - This image shows the York waterfront along the River Ouse on a warm summer day, with people seated at riverside tables and benches enjoying food, drink, and sunshine. The river forms a central feature of York's historic landscape and has shaped the city's development for centuries.
The riverside buildings visible along the bank reflect York's long architectural history, with a mix of historic inns, houses, and commercial premises now serving as cafes, pubs, and restaurants. During the summer months, this stretch of the river becomes a focal point for social activity, tourism, and leisure.
The River Ouse flows through the heart of York and remains both an asset and a challenge for the city, celebrated for its scenic value while also associated with seasonal flooding. Images such as this capture the positive, everyday relationship between the city and its river during periods of good weather.
Photographed in bright daylight with clear skies, the image is well suited for editorial use illustrating UK tourism, historic cities, riverside leisure, British summer lifestyle, and urban waterfront regeneration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59X4P - This image shows The Kings Arms, a well-known traditional public house located beside the River Ouse in the historic centre of York. The pub is a familiar landmark on King's Staith and is popular with both residents and visitors, particularly during warm summer weather when outdoor seating is in use.
The Kings Arms occupies a characterful historic building and is closely associated with riverside life in York. Its proximity to the river means it is also known for periodic flooding, an issue that has become part of its local identity and media profile over the years.
In this scene, people are gathered outside the pub enjoying drinks and conversation under clear blue skies, reflecting the social role of English pubs as informal community meeting places. The visible pub sign reinforces its identity as a long-established and recognisable venue within the city.
With York's historic riverside architecture and pedestrian activity in the background, the image captures everyday leisure and tourism in one of England's most visited historic cities. It is well suited for editorial use covering British pub culture, urban leisure, tourism, riverside life, and summer social scenes in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WRT - This image shows a detailed drinks price list displayed inside a bar located on The Shambles in York, one of the city's most famous and historic streets. The black board lists a range of draught beverages under the heading Permanent Premiers, including named beers such as Stumbler, Dark, Bitter, Lager, Jorvik, Pulp Apple, Rhubarb Cider, Sentient Keg, Tonkoko, Wavelength and Burn Rate, each shown with corresponding prices for different measures.
The board also advertises Taster Trays, offering thirds of draught ale and single measures of gin or rum with mixer, reflecting contemporary craft beer and tasting culture within British pubs and bars. A Can of the Week is highlighted as Rational Haze Hopfenweizen, reinforcing the rotating and experimental nature of modern independent beer offerings.
The utilitarian, text-heavy design prioritises clarity and function, typical of modern pub interiors where pricing transparency and variety are key to customer choice. The image was taken indoors under artificial lighting, with the high-contrast white lettering standing out clearly against the dark background.
Set within York's historic city centre, where medieval architecture and heavy tourism coexist with a lively hospitality scene, this price board illustrates the blend of traditional pub culture with contemporary craft beer trends. Images like this are commonly used to represent British drinking culture, independent bars, urban nightlife, hospitality pricing, and everyday social life in England's historic cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WT1 - This photograph captures a glowing neon Fish & Chips sign displayed outside a takeaway food premises in the historic city of York, North Yorkshire. The bright neon lettering stands out strongly against the surrounding streetscape, acting as both a functional advertisement and a familiar visual marker of traditional British fast food culture.
Fish and chips has long been regarded as a staple of British cuisine, closely associated with working-class history, seaside towns, and urban high streets. Neon signage such as this became especially common during the mid to late twentieth century, valued for its visibility, durability, and ability to attract passing customers after dark. Today, these signs often evoke a sense of nostalgia while remaining a practical part of modern hospitality trade.
The image was taken during the evening or night, when the neon lighting becomes most prominent, casting a warm, inviting glow that contrasts with the darker surroundings. In a city like York, known for its Roman origins, medieval streets, and strong tourism economy, such signage highlights the coexistence of historic architecture with contemporary commercial life.
Photographs of neon food signs are widely used to illustrate themes of British culture, urban nightlife, traditional cuisine, travel, and everyday street scenes. This image reflects the enduring popularity of fish and chips and its role as both a cultural symbol and a living part of daily life in cities across England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTR41C - Joseph Holt is an English brewer of beer, founded in 1849 and remaining in the same family for six generations. The company is based in Manchester and owns 127 pubs in Greater Manchester and the North West. Its beers are supplied to over 500 locations nationally
Joseph Holt have brewed on their site in the Cheetham area, to the north of Manchester city centre, since 1860. Ale and lager malts are now delivered in bulk loads and stored in silos while speciality malts continue to be delivered in sacks. Between 15 and 500 barrels (4,500 ? 150,000 pints) can be brewed per day, and a hopback is still in use, along with traditional whole leaf hops, to collect and clarify wort after boiling. All ales are top fermented in enclosed square fermenters using the historic Joseph Holt yeast strain, while lagers are fermented and conditioned in modern cylindroconical vessels. Joseph Holt have their own borehole on the brewery site to abstract brewing liquor (water) and are one of only a handful of brewers in the UK still to rack into 36 gallon casks
It has a long-standing relationship with the Christie Hospital and the Holt Radium Institute in Manchester. This dates back to Sir Edward Holt, the great-grandfather of the current Chief Executive who founded the Holt Radium Institute in 1914

Brewery
Joseph Holt have brewed on their site in the Cheetham area, to the north of Manchester city centre, since 1860.[2] Ale and lager malts are now delivered in bulk loads and stored in silos while speciality malts continue to be delivered in sacks. Between 15 and 500 barrels (4,500 ? 150,000 pints) can be brewed per day, and a hopback is still in use, along with traditional whole leaf hops, to collect and clarify wort after boiling. All ales are top fermented in enclosed square fermenters using the historic Joseph Holt yeast strain, while lagers are fermented and conditioned in modern cylindroconical vessels. Joseph Holt have their own borehole on the brewery site to abstract brewing liquor (water) and are one of only a handful of brewers in the UK still to rack into 36 gallon casks, as well as hogsheads, the largest barrel size, carrying 432 pints (54 imperial gallons, 250 L) and weighing roughly 660 pounds (300 kg) when full.
History
Joseph Holt, the son of a weaver, was born in 1813 in Unsworth, a textile village near Bury. He worked as a carter at Harrison's Strangeways Brewery. In 1849 he married Catherine Parry, who helped finance a small brewery behind a pub on Oak Street, Manchester.
In 1860, he purchased the brewery site on Empire Street, Cheetham. His reputation in Manchester endures
in 2007, readers of the Manchester Evening News voted him People's Champion in the Greatest ever Business Leaders awards. In 1882, by which time he had established a chain of 20 public houses, Joseph passed control of the brewery to his son Edward. Edward Holt was later knighted, served as Lord Mayor of Manchester from 1907 to 1909 and was made a baronet in 1916.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JMW - This image shows a close-up view of a traditional blood pressure gauge, or sphygmomanometer, manufactured by Archd Young & Son Ltd. The instrument features a vertical mercury column marked in millimetres of mercury (mmHg), alongside an inflation bulb and tubing used to measure arterial blood pressure.
Mercury sphygmomanometers were long regarded as the clinical gold standard for accurate blood pressure measurement in hospitals and GP surgeries. The clear graduated scale, robust casing, and precision components reflect an era of medical equipment designed for durability, calibration accuracy, and repeated professional use.
Devices of this type were widely used throughout the 20th century before being gradually phased out in many settings due to environmental and safety concerns associated with mercury. As a result, surviving examples are now often encountered in medical archives, museums, teaching collections, or historic clinical environments.
Photographed in close detail, the image emphasises the numerical scale, glass column, and tactile materials of the instrument, making it well suited to editorial use covering medical history, healthcare technology, diagnostics, clinical practice, and the evolution of blood pressure measurement in the UK.

The facility was established by Francis Woodley Lindsay, a surgeon, in rented premises in Commercial Road as the Herefordshire and South Wales Eye and Ear Institution in 1882. It moved to permanent premises in Eign Street as the Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital in 1888[1] and, after being renamed the Victoria Eye Hospital in 1923, joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2] After services transferred to the new Hereford County Hospital in 2002, the Victoria Eye Hospital closed and has since been converted into apartments

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJGFND - Nellie Dean of Soho
The Nellie Dean is a public house at 89 Dean Street, on the corner of Carlisle Street. There has been a pub on this corner since at least 1748, when it was called the Highlander. (Some say there was a pub here before that, called the Dolphin, but this author has yet to see reliable evidence to support that claim.)
The pub was rebuilt in its present form in 1900, retaining the Highlander name. In the 1950s and 60s it was a favoured haunt of the bohemian crowd who also patronised the French House, as well as those working in the movie industry that used to be focused on Wardour Street.
In 1967 the pub became the Nellie Dean, a name inspired by the street on which it stands and honouring Gertrude Astbury, an early 20th-century music hall singer whose signature song was ?Nellie Dean', later the title of a musical in which she starred.
There's an old mill by the stream, Nellie Dean
Where we used to sit and dream, Nellie Dean
And the waters as they flow,
Seem to murmur sweet and low
You are my heart's desire
I love you, Nellie Dean.
Billy Clarke & Harry Armstrong (1916)
Astbury came from Longport, now part of Stoke-on-Trent, and was nicknamed the Staffordshire Cinderella. She took the stage name Gertie Gitana on account of her supposed Gypsy origins and ?Gitana' was adopted to mean ?banana' in cockney rhyming slang. When Gertie's fame faded, the 60s pop singer Wayne Fontana briefly took her place in the cockney fruiterer's lexicon.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJYRET - One of London's most well-known squares, Golden Square in Soho has a long, fascinating history, and a fantastic location.
The name ?Golden Square' is believed to originate from Gelding Close which referred to land being used for horse grazing. The area gained fame in the 1700s as the home of many foreign diplomatic envoys from countries as Poland, Portugal, Genoa, and Russia. Indeed, Bavarian minister Count Haslang was resident at numbers 23 & 24 when he served as envoy to England between 1739 and 1783. These houses were later attacked during the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots in 1780. These properties later purchased by the Roman Catholic Bishop for the London District in 1788 to build the current Warwick Street Chapel behind these houses.
In 1750, residents were empowered to elect thirteen trustees to beautify the square and a statue, believed to represent Charles II was erected in 1753. The statue design has been attributed to Flemish-born sculptor John van Nost. Golden Square has also had many famous residents, both real and fictional. Angelica Kauffman, the first female member of the Royal Academy and painter Martin Archer Shee both called this fantastic square home. In addition, Golden Square was also the setting for Ralph Nickelby's dingy house in Charles Dicken's 1839 novel Nicholas Nickelby.
By the end of the Nineteenth Century, the area was home to the wool and worsted yarn trade. The first company moved in in 1868, and by 1900 there were at least 70 firms connected with the yarn trade based in Golden Square. Many houses were later demolished to make way for offices and warehouses and the only properties with surviving 18th Century elements are Nos. 11, 21, 23, and 24. An air raid shelter was dug under Golden Square during the Second World War and the iron fence was taken for salvage. After the war restoration work was carried out and the new paved garden reopened to the public in November 1952.
The garden features fastigate hornbeam trees, ornamental crab

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJYREY - Carnaby Street is a pedestrianised shopping street in Soho in the City of Westminster, Central London. Close to Oxford Street and Regent Street, it is home to fashion and lifestyle retailers, including many independent fashion boutiques.
Streets crossing, or meeting with, Carnaby Street are, from south to north, Beak Street, Broadwick Street, Kingly Court, Ganton Street, Marlborough Court, Lowndes Court, Fouberts Place, Little Marlborough Street and Great Marlborough Street. The nearest London Underground station is Oxford Circus.
The Carnaby Street contingent of Swinging London stormed into North American and international awareness with the 15 April 1966 publication of Time magazine's cover story[16] that extolled this street's role:
Perhaps nothing illustrates the new swinging London better than narrow, three-block-long Carnaby Street, which is crammed with a cluster of the 'gear' boutiques where the girls and boys buy each other clothing
In October 1973, the Greater London Council pedestrianised the street.[18] Vehicular access is restricted between 11 am and 8 pm. A comparison of pedestrian traffic before and after the change revealed that there had been a 30% increase in the number of pedestrians entering the area.

To celebrate the memory of Freddie Mercury after the release of Bohemian Rhapsody, the Carnaby Street arch got a rework with Queen's logo being put up in early 2019.
Despite John Stephen closing his final business in 1975 (he died in 2004 aged 70) and the gradual movement to novelty shops with an appeal to the ever-increasing tourist trade, the boutique trade founded in Carnaby Street in 1957 by Stephen is still visible through the many shops of that ilk that still exist in the street today. Although featured in many books about London, the only book published which is exclusively about Carnaby Street and traces the history from the 1600s to 1970

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M108BJ - Erected to commemorate Christ's Hospital School's 350 year presence in the City of London, from 1552 to 1902. The sculpture is designed to curve gently, reflecting the care and support provided to children, who flow from the youngest entering the school to confident adolescents marching boldly into their futures. The back of the sculpture features a verse written about Christ's Hospital by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who was a pupil from 1781 to 1791, along with a copper plate drawing of the Priory buildings at the time the school first occupied the site in 1552. The sculpture gives life to the essence of the school and its charitable mission to educate children in particular need, regardless of means. The famous Tudor uniform and marching depicted in the piece are synonymous with Christ's Hospital today.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNTC - This image shows a row of traditional cask ale hand pumps from Joseph Holt, one of Manchester's best-known historic breweries, displayed on a pub bar in Manchester city centre. The pump clips include well-established Holt beers such as Holt Mild, Holt Bitter, and Two Hoots, reflecting the brewery's long association with north-west England pub culture.
Founded in 1849, Joseph Holt Brewery remains an important part of Manchester's brewing heritage, with its beers commonly found in tied and free houses across the region. The wooden pump handles, branded badges, and polished bar setting evoke the classic British public house interior, closely associated with cask-conditioned real ale and CAMRA-style drinking traditions.
The image is suitable for editorial and commercial use illustrating British pubs, real ale culture, brewing heritage, hospitality interiors, and Manchester social life, and would work well in features on UK beer, traditional pubs, or regional identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CB00DX - Maintaining records of staff, customers and visitors to support NHS Test and Trace
Organisations in certain sectors should collect details and maintain records of staff, customers and visitors on their premises to support NHS Test and Trace.
The UK is currently experiencing a public health emergency as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. It is therefore critical that organisations take a range of measures to keep everyone safe.
The easing of social and economic lockdown measures following the COVID-19 outbreak is being supported by NHS Test and Trace. You should assist this service by keeping a temporary record of your customers and visitors for 21 days, in a way that is manageable for your organisation, and assist NHS Test and Trace with requests for that data if needed. This could help contain clusters or outbreaks.
This publication provides further guidance on how you can do this in a proportionate and effective way.
There is a higher risk of transmitting COVID-19 in premises where customers and visitors spend a longer time in one place and potentially come into close contact with other people outside of their household. To manage this risk, establishments in the following sectors, whether indoor or outdoor venues or mobile settings, should collect details and maintain records of staff, customers and visitors:
hospitality, including pubs, bars, restaurants and caf??s
tourism and leisure, including hotels, museums, cinemas, zoos and theme parks
close contact services, including hairdressers, barbershops and tailors
facilities provided by local authorities, including town halls and civic centres for events, community centres, libraries and children's centres
places of worship, including use for events and other community activities

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2B1YFTK - The Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases is a small, specialist NHS hospital on the Royal United Hospital site in the northwestern outskirts of Bath, England.
The hospital was founded in 1738 as a general hospital for the poor in the city centre, where the frontage of its building still reads Royal Mineral Water Hospital. Thus it is known locally as The Mineral Hospital or The Min. The hospital moved to a new building at the RUH site in 2019.
From the 16th century the needs of the deserving poor who came to take the healing waters of the Roman Baths were recognised and an act of 1597 gave them the right to free use of the waters. This attracted beggars and, although the act was repealed in 1714, large numbers of people were still attracted to the city and St John's Hospital was only accessible to local residents. Plans were suggested for a hospital to receive them in 1716 with supporters which included Lady Elizabeth Hastings, Henry Hoare, Joseph Jekyll, William Oliver and Beau Nash.
The hospital was founded in 1738 as The Mineral Water Hospital. It provided care for the impoverished sick who were attracted to Bath because of the supposed healing properties of the mineral water from the spa. The original building, which was designed by John Wood the Elder, was built with Bath stone donated by Ralph Allen and completed in 1742. It was later enlarged, firstly in 1793 by the addition of an attic storey and later in 1860 by a second building erected on the west side of the earlier edifice. There is a fine pediment, in Bath stone, on the 1860 building depicting the parable of the Good Samaritan. The building was classified as Grade II* listed in 1972.
In 1993, the hospital became an NHS Foundation Trust, specialising in rheumatic disease and rehabilitation, which received a three-star rating in 2005. The hospital had a large brain injury rehabilitation service with separate units for adults, adolescents and children
this service closed in March 2013

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A4PJNY - Wanting to increase their presence and market share, Greggs opened their first Moto-operated franchised bakery at Lymm truckstop in early 2012, with high hopes. Following good sales a second store was opened at Birch eastbound the following June, and it was then confirmed that most Moto services would get one. Moto have also been opening franchises at some Extra services.
What makes Greggs a little bit different to other new brands is that most units have been modified so customers can visit without entering the main amenity building. This helped Moto's tax accounts: by not offering the option of eat-in food, the food was exempt from VAT, although the notorious pasty tax complicated things. As with most service station franchises, prices are inflated and the menu is altered slightly.
Greggs had never agreed to franchised stores before the Moto deal, but following its success they opened franchises with Euro Garages and Applegreen too (in the UK only). Greggs was now being added to petrol stations across the country, and Euro Garages started introducing the country's first Greggs drive thrus.
On the baked goods front, Moto had been using Upper Crust as a bakery brand, although this sold fewer hot goods and began to lose ground to Moto's other stores. In 2011 they also introduced West Cornwall Pasty Co., mostly in stands outside the services. Other operators have responded to Greggs with the likes of The Cornish Bakery, Pret a Manger and The Pasty Shop.
In line with Greggs's rules, service stations in the West Country are not allowed to sell Cornish pasties, for fear of upsetting the locals.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JCC - Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street (Irish: Sl?inte Leana?? ??ireann ag Sr?id an Teampaill) is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin
The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital.
In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake.
A new nurses' home and a new x-ray department was officially opened by Minister of Lands, Se?n Flanagan, in the presence of the President of Ireland, ??amon de Valera, in 1972.
In line with other teaching hospitals, the facility changed its name from the Children's Hospital, Temple Street to the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street in the late 1990s and changed its name again to the Temple Street Children's University Hospital in 2012
The hospital changed its name from Temple Street Children's University Hospital to Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019

see below for more variations) is a market town in east Gloucestershire, England, 80 miles (130 km) west northwest of London. Cirencester lies on the River Churn, a tributary of the River Thames, and is the largest town in the Cotswold District. It is the home of the Royal Agricultural University, the oldest agricultural college in the English-speaking world, founded in 1840. The town's Corinium Museum is well known for its extensive Roman collection. The Roman name for the town was Corinium, which is thought to have been associated with the ancient British tribe of the Dobunni, having the same root word as the River Churn. The earliest known reference to the town was by Ptolemy in AD 150.
The Church of St. John Baptist, Cirencester is renowned for its Perpendicular Gothic porch, fan vaults and merchants' tombs.
The town also has a Roman Catholic Church of St Peter's
the foundation stone was laid on 20 June 1895. Coxwell Street to the north of Market Square is home to the Baptist Church that was founded in 1651 ? making it one of the oldest Baptist churches in England. Its current building was started in 1856.
To the west of the town is Cirencester House, the seat of Earl Bathurst and the site of one of the finest landscape gardens in England, laid out by the first Earl Bathurst after 1714.
Abbey House, Cirencester was a country house built on the site of the former Cirencester Abbey following its dissolution and demolition at the English Reformation in the 1530s. The site was granted in 1564 to Richard Master, physician to Queen Elizabeth I. The house was rebuilt and altered at several dates by the Master family, who still own the agricultural estate. By 1897 the house was let, and it remained in the occupation of tenants until shortly after the Second World War. It was finally demolished in 1964.
On Cotswold Avenue is the site of a Roman amphitheatre.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM253C - Mammography (also called mastography) is the process of using low-energy X-rays (usually around 30 kVp) to examine the human breast for diagnosis and screening. The goal of mammography is the early detection of breast cancer, typically through detection of characteristic masses or microcalcifications.
As with all X-rays, mammograms use doses of ionizing radiation to create images. These images are then analyzed for abnormal findings. It is usual to employ lower-energy X-rays, typically Mo (K-shell x-ray energies of 17.5 and 19.6 keV) and Rh (20.2 and 22.7 keV) than those used for radiography of bones. Ultrasound, ductography, positron emission mammography (PEM), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are adjuncts to mammography. Ultrasound is typically used for further evaluation of masses found on mammography or palpable masses not seen on mammograms. Ductograms are still used in some institutions for evaluation of bloody nipple discharge when the mammogram is non-diagnostic. MRI can be useful for further evaluation of questionable findings, as well as for screening pre-surgical evaluation in patients with known breast cancer, in order to detect additional lesions that might change the surgical approach, for example, from breast-conserving lumpectomy to mastectomy. Other procedures being investigated include tomosynthesis.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM253R - Bristol Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, is the Church of England cathedral in the city of Bristol, England. Founded in 1140 and consecrated in 1148, it was originally St Augustine's Abbey but after the Dissolution of the Monasteries it became in 1542 the seat of the newly created Bishop of Bristol and the cathedral of the new Diocese of Bristol. It is a Grade I listed building.
The eastern end of the church includes fabric from the 12th century, with the Elder Lady Chapel which was added in the early 13th century. Much of the church was rebuilt in the English Decorated Gothic style during the 14th century despite financial problems within the abbey. In the 15th century the transept and central tower were added. The nave was incomplete at the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 and was demolished. In the 19th century Gothic Revival a new nave was built by George Edmund Street partially using the original plans. The western twin towers, designed by John Loughborough Pearson, were completed in 1888.
Located on College Green, the cathedral has tall Gothic windows and pinnacled skyline. The eastern end is a hall church in which the aisles are the same height as the Choir and share the Lierne vaults. The late Norman chapter house, situated south of the transept, contains some of the first uses of pointed arches in England. In addition to the cathedral's architectural features, it contains several memorials and an historic organ. Little of the original stained glass remains with some being replaced in the Victorian era and further losses during the Bristol Blitz.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDEYMA - The Europa Hotel is a four-star hotel in Great Victoria Street, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It has hosted presidents, prime ministers and celebrities.
It is known as the most bombed hotel in Europe and the most bombed hotel in the world after having suffered 36 bomb attacks during the Troubles.
The hotel, designed by architects Sydney Kaye, Eric Firkin & Partners, opened in July 1971. It was built on the site of the former Great Northern Railway station and stands 51 metres high.
During The Troubles, the hotel, where most journalists covering the Troubles stayed, was known as Europe's most bombed hotel, earning the name the Hardboard Hotel. The hotel was blown up by the Provisional IRA in 1993 and damaged so badly that it sold for only ?4.4m.
The Europa Hotel became part of the Hastings Hotels group on 3 August 1993, whereupon it was announced that it would close for the first time in its 22-year history to allow for major refurbishment. Following an ?8m investment, the hotel reopened in February 1994. Its first official event was the Flax Trust Ball, a gala evening for 500 local and international dignitaries. President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton stayed in the hotel in November 1995
the suite used by the Clintons was subsequently renamed the Clinton Suite. The presidential entourage booked 110 rooms at the hotel.
Started in early 2008, an extension to the hotel increased the height of a rear wing by seven floors, to twelve floors, and increased bedrooms from 240 to 272. The extension was designed by Robinson McIlwaine Architects and was completed late in 2008

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED9DN8 - Roadchef was founded in July 1973 by Lindley Catering Investments and Galleon World Travel. The company was originally family owned but in November 1995 was sold to a management team and its most recent change of ownership was to the Israeli Delek Group.
Over the years Roadchef have acquired a portfolio of 20 sites. A large expansion occurred in 1998 when Roadchef agreed to purchase Blue Boar Group and Take A Break for ?80 million and thus proceeded to integrate these acquisitions into an enlarged Roadchef Group. At the time, Blue Boar was the fourth largest operator of motorway services areas in the UK with three operational sites and one development site.
The acquired Watford Gap site was the first motorway service area to be opened in the UK in 1959 and is one of the UK's best known sites. A few years ago (according to Google Finance), Roadchef Motorways was one of the largest Motorway Services Area (MSA) operators in the UK, with 21 sites representing 24% of the market and serving some 60 million visitors each year.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DB6PFF - Ave Maria Missionaries of Charity Office Liverpool
The Missionaries of Charity in Liverpool offer hospitality to the homeless community. Volunteers assist the work of the Missionaries of Charity in giving out food. After the clients finish their food they often have another cup of tea and a cake and then start to disperse. The volunteers then wash up the dishes, sweep and mop the floor and clean the tables. Some volunteers go around the dining-room and pour out tea for people. On occasion a client may be drunk and become somewhat agitated
on these occasions the nuns step in and sort out the situation. Whilst it can be quite daunting going into the Missionaries of Charity ?soup-kitchen' at first, volunteers often say they become more confident as the weeks go on, and look forward to returning week after week.

Today I thought I would stop and contemplate for a short while, maybe be thankful for my own existence. Good therapy once every so often, to bring us down to earth.
We often forget behind our car of air-bags, crumple zones etc. that we are still mortal, hurtling along as if the road was a motorway (although it is six miles distant) in a little four wheeled tin can. On a motorbike its even more perilous, no crumple zones, only your leathers and crash helmet to protect you.
Kevin Pickstock was a keen biker and only 40 when he died. He was from Rudheath, barely a mile up the road from the bend at the Hartford road junction of the A556 bypass. A June summers evening that changed the lives of all his family, his two sons and many friends. It was not the first accident or fatality here.
There are still no safety measures on the road here, no 30mph zone, no calming, no Gatso camera.
I certainly make the effort to take it just a bit slower, when I pass these flowers now.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BKDJGT - A traditional illuminated Guinness pub sign hanging from the exterior of an Irish pub in Dublin city centre, Ireland, photographed at dusk. The sign features the instantly recognisable Guinness branding, including a stylised pint of stout with a creamy head, set against a red background.
Guinness is one of Ireland's most iconic global brands and has been closely associated with Dublin since the eighteenth century. Hanging pub signs such as this are a familiar feature of the city's streetscape, particularly in historic areas where traditional pubs continue to play a central role in social and cultural life.
The warm glow of the illuminated sign contrasts with the surrounding brick and stone architecture and the fading evening light, evoking the atmosphere of Dublin's nightlife and hospitality scene. Street lamps and neighbouring buildings help frame the image within a lived-in urban environment.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use illustrating Irish pub culture, Dublin nightlife, iconic beer branding, tourism in Ireland, traditional hospitality, and urban street scenes in European capital cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JCF - Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street (Irish: Sl?inte Leana?? ??ireann ag Sr?id an Teampaill) is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin
The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital.
In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake.
A new nurses' home and a new x-ray department was officially opened by Minister of Lands, Se?n Flanagan, in the presence of the President of Ireland, ??amon de Valera, in 1972.
In line with other teaching hospitals, the facility changed its name from the Children's Hospital, Temple Street to the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street in the late 1990s and changed its name again to the Temple Street Children's University Hospital in 2012
The hospital changed its name from Temple Street Children's University Hospital to Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTNA50 - Buzz Bingo is a chain of bingo clubs in Great Britain owned by Intermediate Capital Group. It has 82 locations. Formerly operating as Gala Bingo clubs, they were re-branded as Buzz Bingo clubs in September 2018, whilst the Gala brand continues to run its own online bingo and casino offerings under the ownership of Entain plc.
Buzz Bingo has undergone several changes in ownership and branding including through acquisitions. They were originally Coral branded, a division of Bass plc. In 1983, there were 22 clubs and 24 located in their Pontins holiday camps.
The ownership acquisitions included a chain of 80 bingo clubs from Thorn EMI for ?18.2 million in 1983, followed by another 30 by purchasing Zetters Leisure for ?23 million in 1988.[5] Granada plc's chain of 74 bingo clubs were added in 1991 for ?147 million. This merger with Granada led to the company rebranding as Gala Clubs later that year.[8] Gala was officially launched on 17 October 1991 when 17 clubs re-branded and launched a new image. There followed a series of further acquisitions under the Gala brand, including 17 clubs from Ritz in July 1998, 10 clubs from Jarglen in March 2000 and 27 Riva Bingo Clubs from First Leisure for ?90 million in April 2000.
Buzz Bingo operates 82 High Street clubs throughout Great Britain. It launched its online bingo offering, buzzbingo.com, powered by Playtech software, shortly after the rebrand from Gala to Buzz was completed in 2018.
In 2022, in conjunction with Playtech, Buzz Bingo launched their Single Wallet offering, paving the way for an omni-channel business. The launch of this product created the possibility for customers to use their funds across both online and the retail estate.
In 2023, Buzz Bingo launched a further online offering, buzzcasino.com, in an aim to further capture the Casino market as well as bingo, again powered by Playtech

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEY9J0 - An atmospheric interior view of the Philharmonic Dining Rooms, commonly known as The Phil, a famous Grade I listed Victorian public house located at 36 Hope Street in Liverpool city centre. The image shows the richly decorated interior corridor leading between the pub's ornate rooms, featuring dark polished wood panelling, carved architectural details, stained glass panels and patterned tiled flooring. Warm amber lighting from period-style lamps enhances the deep reds and browns of the interior, creating a sense of historic intimacy and grandeur.
The Philharmonic Pub is regarded as one of the finest surviving examples of Victorian pub design in the United Kingdom and is internationally recognised for its architectural and cultural significance. Built in the early twentieth century, the interior reflects the confidence and civic pride of Liverpool during its period as a major port city. The pub's layout, with separate rooms opening off a central passageway, illustrates traditional social divisions and drinking customs of the era while remaining in active use today.
Hope Street is one of Liverpool's most important cultural thoroughfares, linking the city's Anglican and Metropolitan cathedrals and serving as a focal point for arts, music and heritage. The presence of seated patrons within the rooms reinforces the pub's role as a living, working social space rather than a static museum piece. The combination of craftsmanship, lighting and preserved detail evokes themes of continuity, community and British pub culture.
This image is well suited for editorial use covering British pubs, social history, listed buildings, Victorian architecture and Liverpool culture, as well as commercial applications relating to heritage tourism, interior design, hospitality branding and representations of traditional pub interiors in the UK.
