Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F1P47E - South Asian dhol drummers identified as Dhol Beats perform in bright summer sunshine during Stockton Heath Walking Day on Saturday 11 July 2026 in Warrington, Cheshire. Wearing pale green shirts and purple shoulder sashes, the musicians play large double-sided barrel drums with wooden sticks. Their movement and powerful percussion bring energy, rhythm and a multicultural character to the traditional village procession.
The group is pictured crossing Victoria Square beside Stockton Heath Police Station, the red-brick Arts and Crafts building behind them. Opened in 1912 as a combined police station, magistrates' court and constables' accommodation, it is now Grade II listed. Shaped gables, sandstone detailing, tall chimneys and a distinctive corner turret provide a historic backdrop to the performance. Traffic lights, direction signs, barriers and spectators place the musicians within the closed public highway.
The dhol is a double-headed drum associated particularly with Punjab and widely used in Punjabi folk music, bhangra, weddings, festivals and celebratory processions. Its loud carrying beat suits outdoor performance, where several players create interlocking rhythms and physical impact. Including South Asian musicians within Walking Day shows how a long-established custom can retain its faith and community roots while becoming more representative of modern Warrington.
Stockton Heath Walking Day is an annual walk of witness involving churches, schools, community organisations, musicians and residents. The 2026 event had faced possible cancellation because of rising costs, reduced official support and the need for volunteers, but community backing enabled it to proceed. Hundreds attended in hot sunny weather, supporting a tradition within the wider Walking Day culture of Warrington and Cheshire communities. The photograph captures celebration, cultural diversity, local heritage and the continuation of a public event through volunteer effort.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3WN9X - . Spice Spice Baby neon sign inside an Indian restaurant or bar, England, UK. Photographed on 27 June 2026. The bright red script lettering is paired with a glowing chilli pepper motif, creating a playful food-themed interior detail and pop-culture pun. The image suits themes of hospitality, nightlife, restaurant branding, contemporary interior design and modern dining culture. The vivid neon lighting stands out strongly against the dark background, making the sign an eye-catching decorative feature. For the story of business premises, it is useful to note that local businesses provide unusually precise social-history evidence because names, branding and uses change more quickly than the buildings they occupy
A shop, café, pub or service company can disappear while the façade survives, leaving photographs as a record of the previous commercial life of the street. The historical setting for signage is that wayfinding developed from painted names and fingerposts into standardised road, rail and public-information systems
Local signs still retain distinctive typography or bilingual wording even within increasingly consistent national standards. Seen through hostelry, the earlier context is that public houses form a distinctive strand of British social history
Coaching routes, tied brewery estates, Victorian urban growth and twentieth-century leisure each shaped the location and appearance of pubs, many of which later became restaurants, shops, housing or community assets. For present-day business premises, 2026 is significant because current interest in community assets and place-making gives photographs of individual businesses added significance when premises close, rebrand or are converted to new uses. In the 2026 discussion of signage, digital maps and smartphone navigation are ubiquitous, but physical signage remains essential for safety, accessibility, legal restrictions and visitors without reliable connectivity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8PTY0 - A bronze statue of Long Boi stands beside the lake near Derwent College at the University of York, commemorating the unusually tall stock-photo/gotonysmith-Campus.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>campus duck who became a student mascot, local celebrity and internet favourite. Long Boi was widely described as a mallard and Indian runner duck cross, known for his extraordinary height, long neck, friendly presence and regular appearances around the university's lakes and green spaces. The sculpture was created after a crowdfunding campaign led by the students' union, with the University of York saying £5,300 was raised and that the statue was unveiled by BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James on 26 September 2024. University publicity says the life-sized bronze was hand carved in clay by award-winning wildlife sculptor Neil Mason before being cast in bronze, and that it stands near the lake at Derwent College, one of Long Boi's favourite haunts. The image is commercially useful for stories about university life, campus culture, student humour, memorial sculpture, public art, crowdfunding, social media fame, animal mascots, British eccentricity and the emotional role of wildlife in shared places. It can also illustrate the University of York's distinctive lakeside campus, where ducks, geese and other waterfowl form part of the everyday student experience. The statue's plinth, plaque, bronze finish, lawns, college buildings and live geese in the background give the photograph strong documentary value as a real memorial rather than a generic animal sculpture. Long Boi's story is useful for features on internet culture, community affection, grief, silliness, public memory and how a much-loved animal can become part of an institution's identity. As a stock image, it records a quirky but meaningful piece of contemporary campus heritage, showing how humour, affection and student folklore can be given permanent form in bronze.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R39XY3 - Brick Lane (Bengali: ব্রিক লেন) is a famous street in the East End of London, in the borough of Tower Hamlets. It runs from Swanfield Street in Bethnal Green in the north, crosses the Bethnal Green Road before reaching the busiest, most commercially active part which runs through Spitalfields, or along its eastern edge. Brick Lane's southern end is connected to Whitechapel High Street by a short extension called Osborn Street.
Today, it is the heart of the country's Bangladeshi community with the vicinity known to some as Banglatown. It is famous for its many curry houses
The street was formerly known as Whitechapel Lane, and wound through fields. It derives its current name from brick and tile manufacture started in the 15th century, which used the local brick earth deposits
In the 19th century, Irish people and Ashkenazi Jews immigrated to the area. Jewish immigration continued into the early 20th century.
In the 20th century the Brick Lane area was important in the second wave of development of Anglo-Indian cuisine, as families from countries such as Bangladesh (mainly the Greater Sylhet region) migrated to London to look for work. Some curry houses of Brick Lane do not sell alcoholic beverages, for most are owned by Muslims. According to EasyJet Traveller magazine, the top three curry houses on Brick Lane in 2021 are Aladin, Sheba and City Spice.
Bengalis in the United Kingdom settled in big cities with industrial employment. In London, many settled in the East End. For centuries the East End has been the first port of call for many immigrants working in the docks and shipping from Chittagong port in Bengal

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PGRW6T - The Tudor building on Church Street, Warrington is one of the town's oldest and most famous landmarks.
Here, we take a look at its centuries of fascinating history.
The grade two-listed building now houses an Indian restaurant aptly named the Cottage which opened following a lengthy, National Trust approved renovation of the premises in the early noughties.
Whilst frequently referred to as Cromwell's Cottage, Oliver Cromwell is only thought to have stayed the night at the now demolished General Wolf close by on August 20, 1648.
However, the cottage is where he sent dispatches proclaiming victories over Scottish Royalists during battles at Preston, Winwick and Warrington itself.
Today, a plaque commemorates that fact with Cromwell's victory at the Battle of Winwick Pass leading to the surrender of Scots forces on August 25.
The defeat of Royalist armies in the north of England ultimately hastened the end of the second English Civil War, and led to the execution of Charles I in January 1649.
It is believed that the cottage dates back to roughly the 16th century, according to a 2007 Warrington Borough Council report which states that the building was constructed in a late medieval style' after the road's original middle-age structures were destroyed.
Similar characteristics can be attributed to the other Tudor cottages on Church Street, with the nearby Bull's Head and Marquis of Granby pubs remaining as the street's oldest surviving buildings.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3J7A0 - Documentary stock photograph shows Amans Indian Restaurant at 33 Walton Road, Stockton Heath, Warrington, Cheshire, in the heart of South Warrington's busy food and drink district. The image records a prominent black-and-white half-timbered corner building with red brick lower walls, dormer windows, restaurant frontage, neighbouring estate agency signage and a wide pavement on Walton Road. The overcast sky and dark clouds give the scene a moody, realistic high-street feel, while the clear shopfront and address context make it useful for editorial use on local restaurants, curry houses, independent hospitality, suburban dining and evening economy stories. Stockton Heath has become one of Warrington's best-known eating-out areas, with restaurants, bars and cafes clustered around Walton Road, London Road, Victoria Square and the village centre. Amans is listed by local and food directories at 33 Walton Road, WA4 6NJ, and CAMRA describes the venue as an Indian restaurant with takeaway service, noting its previous name as Indish. The official Amans Stockton Heath website promotes modern Indian dining in the heart of Warrington, with a menu covering appetisers, tandoori dishes, biriyani specials, seafood, vegetarian choices, chef's signature dishes and takeaway food. This image can illustrate the pressures of the UK hospitality sector, restaurant branding, leisure-led high streets, curry culture, takeaway dining, local business, consumer spending, food delivery, nightlife, tourism and suburban regeneration. The distinctive mock-Tudor frontage also gives the photograph architectural value, showing how characterful commercial premises are adapted for modern restaurant use.

Nando's Restaurant at the White Rose Centre in Leeds, West Yorkshire
Nando's opened its first restaurants within the United Kingdom, in 1992, in the west London suburbs of Ealing and Earls Court, initially focusing on takeaway food. The UK arm, owned by the Enthoven family via a private equity company, struggled until chairman Dick Enthoven put his son Robert in control. The focus then moved from takeaways to a mixed service (counter ordering and table service) model. This decision was taken after Nando's partnered with Harrison, a world-renowned branding and design agency.
They also advised Nando's to design each restaurant individually so no two restaurants were the same, a brand characteristic of the chain. Nando's expanded in the UK in 1993. The company now employs around 8,000 staff in the UK and as of 2013 had over 280 branches, with some sixty serving food conforming with Islamic dietary laws.
In 2010, Nando's UK won the Sunday Times's best place to work award in the big company category. Its sauces and marinades were also retailed in UK supermarkets.
Nando's claims to have the largest collection of South African art in the UK, with over 5,000 works displayed in restaurants
original artworks are commissioned by the company.
The United Kingdom is one of Nando's largest markets.
In March 2020, all 400 UK restaurants closed temporarily due to nationwide lockdown rules introduced by the government to limit the spread of COVID-19. In late April 2020, Nando's reopened select locations for delivery and collection services, with many more locations opening throughout May. In early July 2020, the restaurant chain started reopening a few of its outlets for eat-in service.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED4H3 - . Panda gift Edinburgh Scotland PVC Kitchen Apron Souvenir. Photographed at Edinburgh Old Town, Lothian, Scotland EH1. The photograph was taken on 26 August 2013. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with Edinburgh, Scots, Panda, gift, pandas, birth, Apron, Scottish, Scot and independance, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The scene is relevant to retail, shopping, consumer behaviour, town and city centres, independent businesses and the changing appearance of the British high street. It can support editorial stories about shops, shopping centres, retail architecture, store branding, local commerce, vacancies, regeneration, consumer spending, tourism and the pressure on traditional bricks-and-mortar businesses. Shopfronts, signs, windows, displays, arcades and surrounding public realm provide useful visual context for how retail space is designed and experienced by pedestrians. The photograph also acts as a dated record of a business or shopping location, valuable when premises later change hands, rebrand, close or are redeveloped. Search themes include retail, shopping, shopfronts, consumer behaviour, high streets, town centres, commercial property, independent business, branding and changing local economies. A dated view of a shop or shopping environment gains extra archive value when businesses rebrand, close, move or when premises are redeveloped. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. This particular view is catalogued under Alamy image reference DED4H3, distinguishing it from other photographs of the same or related subject.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H28RFJ - This documentary stock photograph shows Asian wedding hands and jewellery, henna and gold. The subject is Asian wedding hands with henna, gold jewellery and decorative adornment, giving it strong editorial and commercial stock value for features on South Asian wedding customs, bridal preparation, mehndi, gold jewellery, fashion, family ceremony and cultural identity. The photograph works because it focuses on visible cultural detail rather than a vague celebration image, with close-up detail helping to tell a story about preparation, appearance, hospitality and shared tradition. South Asian weddings in Britain often bring together clothing, jewellery, food, family rituals, photography, venue hire, faith traditions, music, gifting and large-scale catering, making this kind of image useful across lifestyle, culture, food, religion, fashion, retail and community publishing. It can support articles about British Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, wedding costs, gold markets, henna artistry, bridal fashion, multicultural Britain, event catering, family celebration, migration, identity and the social importance of weddings as community gatherings. If the image shows hands, it can be used for close-up stories about mehndi patterns, bangles, rings, bracelets, nail decoration, gold adornment and the symbolic meaning of touch, blessing, beauty and commitment. If it shows food, it can illustrate buffet service, vegetarian and meat dishes, chefs, catering labour, hospitality margins, food safety, menu planning and the economics of large family events. Search-friendly composite terms include Asian wedding jewellery, Indian bridal henna hands, South Asian wedding food, British multicultural wedding, gold bangles and mehndi, Indian buffet catering, Pakistani wedding celebration and Bangladeshi wedding tradition. The image is suitable for editorial, lifestyle, food, fashion, cultural, family, community, religion, business and stock-photo use.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4756843521 - 'When backpacking around various places in my mis-spent youth I often used the Lonely Planet guides. Great guides, but when travelling you were never alone really as whatever off the beaten track cafe you were eating BBQ guinea pig or whtever, you were always surrounded by other backpackers planning their next meal using that self same guide!
The name Lonely Planet to me conjours up an idea of this packed green and blue rock surrounded by some unimaginable emptyness. There is so much of it that the light-year, ie the time it takes light or an image to be seen a year later away, is the only practical unit of measurement to be used.
To get a feel for these distances, reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface takes 1.2\u20131.3 seconds to travel the distance to the Earth's surface for us to see it. The surface of the moon is roughly 376,300 kilometres from the surface of the Earth, on average. 376,300 km \u00f7 300,000 km/s (roughly the speed of light) \u2248 1.25 seconds).
The most distant space probe, Voyager 1, was about 14 light-hours away from Earth as of 9 March 2007 (2007 -03-09)[update]. It took that space probe 30 years to cover that distance,[17] and will take over 18,000 years to reach one light-year at the same speed.
The nearest known star (other than the Sun), Proxima Centauri, is about 4.22 light-years away. Our galaxy, The Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across.
So for any intelligent life form in the solar system of Proxima Centauri, excitement must be building for the 2006 world cup, where hopes are pinned on a very young Wayne Rooney to come good for England and for Sven-Goran Eriksson to continue as coach onward to 2010.
Its a funny old world eh? When you consider, this isn't too bad a place after all. Good planets are hard to find, lets look after this one!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4545016881 - 'Khan, my friendly local traditional newsagent and tobaconist. He is quite a walk away just over the swing bridge in Latchford village and I sometimes see him on the only day that I occasionally buy a paper, Saturday. It\u2019s usually one with lots of supplements I buy with a bit of a TV and events review guide in it.
Thinking back over ten years or more I used to have three paper shops within 10 minutes walk
two on Knutsford road and Old cantankerous Malcolm Sissins in Lindi Avenue. In fact on originally looking for a house in the area I encountered 'Sissons' on the parade of shops that included a tiny sub-post office, hair salon (Flair, which is currently on the market www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-27655238.h... and small part time doctors surgery.
I walked into his newsagents which was full of untidy piles of paper and often out of date confectionary and he sold me a chocolate bar. On asking where I might buy a sandwich round here, he suggested 'shop next door'. On walking out and into the next door along, Malcolm appeared at the counter and said 'Hello, how can I help?'. A bit surreal to say the least.
Malcolm did have a big toy grotto and fishing supplies section at the back which customers were only allowed to visit on an escorted basis. After moving into Lindi Avenue myself and having regular papers from the shop did I learn some of the eccentricities. As Malcolm got even older he would only open half the shop at once, forcing customers to leave and re-enter by the street, although there was a passage between. School children (of which there could be many from the local primary) would be admitted one at a time. Late payment for delivered papers would incur an instant fine, while his reputation as being a difficult boss made it difficult to get and keep decent paper boys and girls. His biggest crime (noticed by Colin a yorkshireman, a good friend who shamefully I have not seen for yonks since he moved up near Durham) was when buying his boiled sweets loose from jars, Malcolm actually weighed the paper bag too!
Sadly, cantankerous though he was, he is now just a memory as an estimated ten UK local newsagents go under each week. Suburban supermarkets and coffee shops (Starbucks even selling daily papers now in some places) are picking away at their trade. Khan now has a Co-Op over the road, now selling papers too. In a daily Telegraph article, Starbucks denied it had any part to play in the decline in newsagents. A spokesman said: \u201cWe\u2019re wholly committed to enhancing each of our customers\u2019 unique Starbucks experiences and the availability of a daily national newspaper adds to that overall experience.\u201d
Although I might use the ATM cash machine in the co-op, I always get my paper at Khan's. That\u2019s where I have my 'Newspaper shop Experience'.
Oh and if you have any tales or experiences from the Sisson era, please leave a comment

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H28RFC - This documentary stock photograph shows Asian Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi wedding hands and jewellery, beautiful henna and gold adornments. The subject is Asian wedding hands with henna, gold jewellery and decorative adornment, giving it strong editorial and commercial stock value for features on South Asian wedding customs, bridal preparation, mehndi, gold jewellery, fashion, family ceremony and cultural identity. The photograph works because it focuses on visible cultural detail rather than a vague celebration image, with close-up detail helping to tell a story about preparation, appearance, hospitality and shared tradition. South Asian weddings in Britain often bring together clothing, jewellery, food, family rituals, photography, venue hire, faith traditions, music, gifting and large-scale catering, making this kind of image useful across lifestyle, culture, food, religion, fashion, retail and community publishing. It can support articles about British Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities, wedding costs, gold markets, henna artistry, bridal fashion, multicultural Britain, event catering, family celebration, migration, identity and the social importance of weddings as community gatherings. If the image shows hands, it can be used for close-up stories about mehndi patterns, bangles, rings, bracelets, nail decoration, gold adornment and the symbolic meaning of touch, blessing, beauty and commitment. If it shows food, it can illustrate buffet service, vegetarian and meat dishes, chefs, catering labour, hospitality margins, food safety, menu planning and the economics of large family events. Search-friendly composite terms include Asian wedding jewellery, Indian bridal henna hands, South Asian wedding food, British multicultural wedding, gold bangles and mehndi, Indian buffet catering, Pakistani wedding celebration and Bangladeshi wedding tradition.
