Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJYKGC - Documentary editorial photograph shows a blue Reform UK roundel sign mounted on a wooden post in a large garden off Bolton Road, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, Greater Manchester, during the 2026 Makerfield by-election campaign. The sign uses Reform UK's simple white arrow logo and black lettering against a bright blue background, standing above a green hedge with trees, sky and a glimpse of suburban housing behind it. The image was taken in daylight under a bright, lightly clouded sky, giving the scene a calm residential feel while still carrying a sharp political message. Reform UK grew out of the Brexit Party associated with Nigel Farage, and the party's modern campaign themes have focused heavily on anti-establishment politics, immigration, borders, public services and voter anger with the main parties. In Makerfield, the by-election was due on 18 June 2026 after Labour MP Josh Simons stood down, opening the way for Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, to contest the seat for Labour. Reform UK selected Robert Kenyon, reported as a local plumber and army reservist, creating a high-profile Labour versus Reform contest in a long-standing Labour heartland. This close-up image is useful for illustrating Reform UK campaigning, right-wing populism, red wall politics, northern voter disillusionment, Labour heartlands, by-elections, political realignment, tactical voting, doorstep politics and the visibility of party support in private gardens. For stock buyers, the value lies in the uncluttered Reform UK branding, the ordinary garden setting and the precise connection to a nationally watched parliamentary contest. It works as a simple but powerful visual shorthand for the attempt by Nigel Farage's party to turn local dissatisfaction in post-industrial Greater Manchester into votes, and for the pressure facing Labour in places where political loyalty can no longer be taken for granted.

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

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJYKKP - Documentary editorial photograph shows a small Reform UK VOTE REFORM UK 18TH JUNE' leaflet displayed discreetly in the front window of a suburban red-brick house in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, Greater Manchester. The white-framed window, domestic ornaments, reflections, brickwork and overhanging leaves give the image an intimate residential setting, quite different from the larger roadside banners and garden placards seen elsewhere in the Makerfield by-election campaign. The image was taken in daylight under a bright but cloudy sky, and the small blue leaflet is a subtle but clear sign of Reform UK support inside an ordinary home. The Makerfield by-election was confirmed for 18 June 2026 after Labour MP Josh Simons stood down, with Politico and ITV reporting that the move allowed Andy Burnham to seek a return to Westminster. Burnham is the Mayor of Greater Manchester, first elected in 2017 and re-elected in 2021 and 2024, and is often nicknamed the King of the North' because of his strong regional profile. Reform UK's candidate Robert Kenyon was reported by the Guardian as a local plumber and army reservist, while Nigel Farage said Reform would put major effort into the contest. This image can illustrate Reform UK campaigning, window posters, private voter support, Labour versus Reform, red wall politics, political realignment, populist messaging, local democracy, parliamentary by-elections, tactical voting and the contest for working-class support in a traditional Labour area. It also speaks to the quieter side of election campaigning, where political allegiance is shown not at a rally or hustings but through a modest sign placed behind glass. For stock buyers, the value lies in the small scale of the leaflet, the domestic setting and the link to a nationally watched contest in which Burnham's Westminster ambitions, Kenyon's anti-establishment appeal and Farage's Reform UK strategy all met on Ashton-in-Makerfield streets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJYKKR - Blue Reform UK roundel sign fixed in a front garden on an ordinary red-brick residential street in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, Greater Manchester, during the 2026 Makerfield by-election campaign. The sign uses Reform UK's simple white arrow branding, pointing forward against a blue background, with traditional terraced houses, brick walls, railings, chimney stacks, overhead wires and a cloudy North West England sky behind it. The image has strong street-level political value because it places a national right-wing populist party message into a local working-class housing setting. Reform UK grew out of the Brexit Party, the vehicle associated with Nigel Farage, and Britannica describes Farage as having launched the Brexit Party in 2019 before rebranding it as Reform UK in 2021. The Makerfield by-election was scheduled for 18 June 2026 after Labour MP Josh Simons stood down, creating a nationally watched contest between Andy Burnham for Labour and Robert Kenyon for Reform UK. Kenyon was reported as a local plumber and army reservist, while Burnham is the high-profile Mayor of Greater Manchester. Reform UK's campaign sought to mobilise voters around anti-establishment themes, immigration, borders and public dissatisfaction, while Labour presented Burnham as a recognised regional figure with a record linked to growth, devolution and the Bee Network transport programme. This image can illustrate Reform UK campaigning, Brexit legacy politics, Labour heartlands, red wall constituencies, working-class voter identity, political realignment, populism, immigration messaging, tactical voting, local democracy and public trust in northern England. For stock buyers, the strength lies in the contrast between the crisp campaign roundel and the everyday terrace backdrop, a compact visual shorthand for how the Makerfield contest turned ordinary residential streets into visible markers of national political change.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJYKR5 - This documentary editorial photograph shows a large red Labour campaign banner fixed to metal security fencing in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, Greater Manchester, during the June 2026 Makerfield by-election campaign. The banner reads VOTE ANDY FOR US' in bold white and yellow lettering and includes a cartoon-style portrait of Andy Burnham, making the image instantly recognisable as a piece of personalised Labour election branding. The picture was taken in daylight under a bright but slightly overcast sky, with the fence, roadway, parked vehicles and background buildings giving it the practical feel of a local campaign base rather than a polished studio setting. Burnham is the Mayor of Greater Manchester, not the mayor of Manchester city, and official sources note that he was first elected in 2017 and then re-elected in 2021 and 2024, making him one of the best-known regional political figures in England. The Makerfield by-election, due on 18 June 2026, attracted national attention because Burnham's attempted return to Westminster was widely seen as politically significant for Labour, while Reform UK also mounted a strong challenge through candidate Robert Kenyon. This image is useful for illustrating stories about Labour campaigning, by-elections, party branding, northern politics, local democracy, red wall seats, Reform UK pressure, political realignment and the public profile of metro mayors. For stock image buyers, the value lies in the readable slogan, the strong red colour palette, the recognisable cartoon likeness with spectacles, and the clear connection to a specific and newsworthy contest in Ashton-in-Makerfield. It works well as a visual shorthand for Burnham's local support operation, Labour's effort to mobilise voters in a traditional stronghold, and the way modern campaign imagery blends personal branding with constituency-level street politics.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJYKR7 - This documentary editorial photograph shows a red Labour VOTE ANDY FOR US' banner fixed to green metal fencing outside the Labour Party campaign centre at Stubshaw Cross Community and Sports Club, 2 Walter Street, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Wigan, Greater Manchester. The building and railings are part of a practical local campaign base just off Bolton Road, with red campaign posters visible in the windows behind the fence. The image was taken in daylight under a cloudy, changeable sky, giving the scene a realistic North West England by-election feel rather than a staged press image. The banner uses bold white and yellow lettering beside a cartoon-style portrait of Andy Burnham in his familiar spectacles, making the sign immediately recognisable as personalised campaign branding. Burnham is the Mayor of Greater Manchester, first elected in 2017 and re-elected in 2021 and 2024, and his attempt to win the Makerfield seat in 2026 turned a local parliamentary by-election into a contest with wider national political interest. The House of Commons Library noted that he could stand for Parliament while still mayor, but would be disqualified from the mayoralty if elected as an MP. The image can illustrate Labour campaigning, campaign headquarters, doorstep politics, local party organisation, by-election publicity, northern politics, red wall seats, mayoral politics, political branding and Westminster leadership speculation. It is also useful for coverage of Reform UK pressure on Labour in traditional heartland areas, voter mobilisation in Wigan, and the changing relationship between local constituency campaigns and national political narratives. For stock buyers, the strength is the readable slogan, precise Ashton-in-Makerfield location, visible campaign office context, strong red Labour colour scheme and recognisable cartoon likeness, all combining to show how a national political story was fought through ordinary street-level campaign activity in Greater Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWM71 - Poster for Return to Wrex-Slam, a family friendly Basix Pro Wrestling event advertised in Wrexham, Wales. The colourful promotional flyer shows wrestlers posing around bold black, green and white wrestling-style graphics, with the Basix Pro Wrestling 20th anniversary logo, QR code ticketing, event branding and venue details for Hightown Community Resource Centre on Fusilier Way, Wrexham. The poster promotes a Saturday 13 June 2026 show with doors at 4pm and first bell at 4.30pm, positioning the event as live sports entertainment for adults, children and families. TicketSource lists BPW: Return to Wrex-Slam! at Hightown Community Resource Centre, Wrexham, LL13 7YF, while Basix Pro Wrestling's own social promotion gives the same event name, date, venue and show timing. The photograph is useful for editorial coverage of Welsh independent wrestling, grassroots sports entertainment, family events, local leisure, community centre performances, Wrexham city centre advertising, fan culture and the continuing appeal of live wrestling outside the major televised promotions. Reflections in the window glass, creases in the poster and the shop-window setting give the image a real documentary street feel rather than a clean publicity graphic. It can illustrate stories about local event promotion, QR code ticketing, small entertainment businesses, community venues, affordable weekend activities, children's entertainment, Welsh pop culture and independent wrestling in towns and cities across the UK. The poster's strong typography, dramatic wrestler portraits, family friendly wording and Wrex-Slam title make it visually clear and commercially useful for stock searches connected with pro wrestling, live shows, sports posters, Wrexham events and North Wales community entertainment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWM98 - Busy indoor bar area at Grappenhall Beer Festival, held at The Bellhouse, home of Grappenhall Youth and Community Association in Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire. The image shows a crowded community beer festival interior with drinkers gathered around a temporary bar, casks and handpulls lined up on the right, beer labels visible above the pumps, people holding pint glasses, a beer programme on a table and the warm social atmosphere of a village real ale event. The festival is useful for editorial coverage of British beer culture, real ale, cask ale, local breweries, community fundraising, village events, hospitality, weekend leisure, social drinking, volunteers, beer tasting and the continuing appeal of traditional beer festivals in North West England. The Bellhouse describes itself as a charity-run community hub in the heart of Grappenhall, offering events, room hire, clubs and social spaces, and its events page lists Grappenhall Beer Festival as an annual highlight featuring local and guest ales, food and live entertainment. Ticketing information for 2026 described Grappenhall Beer Festival as Real Ale, Ciders and Live Music, presented by Grappenhall Youth & Community Association, while local coverage said the 2026 event would take place on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 May at Grappenhall Community Centre. The photograph captures the practical working side of the festival, with a busy queue at the bar, beer pumps, casks, volunteers and customers choosing drinks rather than a staged publicity view. Visible details such as the wooden floor, festival signage, beer tokens or programme, pint glasses, casual clothing and crowded bar line make it a strong documentary image for stories about community venues, local fundraising, beer festivals, the real ale movement, pub culture outside pubs, village social life and the wider role of volunteer-run events in keeping community facilities active. The indoor setting suggests a mild spring evening or weekend session

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4M8E - Editorial photograph of a Wigan Eats sign above a town centre food business, showing the blue and orange branding, the words WIGAN EATS and ORDER ONLINE TODAY, and a logo featuring a pie and fork. The image connects Wigan's local takeaway culture, mobile ordering apps and independent hospitality with the town's wider reputation for pies, pie barms and Wigan Kebab food traditions. It can illustrate local food delivery platforms, alternatives to national takeaway apps, digital ordering, high street hospitality, small business marketing, regional identity, northern food culture and the continued commercial use of place-based branding. The photograph also has editorial relevance to Wigan's May 2026 local election story. Official ward results show Reform UK wins in Wigan Central and Wigan West, while reporting after the election said Reform UK made very large gains across the borough. However, the available post-election summaries indicate Labour still retained overall control of Wigan Council, so the wording should avoid saying Reform became the council's leadership. In political use, this image can illustrate a sharp local electoral shift, Labour losses in a long-standing Labour area, voter disillusionment, right-wing populist campaigning, Nigel Farage's party gaining council seats, and pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer following poor Labour local election results nationally. The sign's upbeat food-ordering message and proud pie symbol sit against a much harder political context, making the image suitable for articles about Wigan, Greater Manchester, local democracy, northern English towns, the cost of living, takeaway spending, hospitality, food delivery technology, town-centre businesses, working-class identity, post-industrial communities, local culture and changing party loyalties. Visible brickwork, the projecting shop sign and daylight street scene give the image a documentary feel for contemporary Britain in spring or early summer.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E91EP6 - Scaffolding surrounds the former Grappenhall Rectory on Church Lane in Grappenhall, Warrington, as restoration work begins on a historic building that had stood derelict for many years. The stripped brickwork, empty window openings, exposed masonry and temporary scaffold frame give the scene strong editorial value for stories about heritage rescue, listed buildings, conservation, dereliction, planning, local history and the practical challenge of bringing neglected old properties back into use. Historic England lists Grappenhall Rectory as Grade II, describing it as a rectory of around 1830, originally stucco with a grey slate roof and Gothick architectural detailing, with later wings altered or added in 1855. The site sits in the historic village setting of Grappenhall, close to St Wilfrid's Church and the Bridgewater Canal, adding context for local heritage, conservation area character and the tension between decay and renewal in older Cheshire villages. The photograph is commercially useful for articles on building restoration, scaffolding, heritage-at-risk concerns, private renovation projects, listed building consent, adaptive reuse, construction skills, traditional materials, empty properties and the cost of saving historic houses. Local reports and parish updates have described long-running concern about the former Old Rectory and the welcome sight of progress after years of dereliction. The image can also illustrate wider themes around village identity, housing pressure, planning enforcement, community campaigns, conservation funding, old nursing home sites, and the way prominent neglected buildings affect public confidence in a place. As a documentary stock image, it records a transition point rather than a finished restoration, showing the messy but hopeful stage when a vulnerable historic structure has finally been secured, scaffolded and opened up for repair.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8E1HK - Front elevation of BBC Radio Merseyside studios on Hanover Street, Liverpool city centre, with Made of Liverpool' window branding and presenter posters across the glazed facade. Photographed in daylight in an urban streetscape, this image captures the local broadcasting base of the BBC's long established Merseyside radio service in public setting. The building is associated with BBC local radio, regional media, journalism, interviews, live music sessions, community storytelling and public service broadcasting for Liverpool and the wider Merseyside area. The bold Made of Liverpool' slogan gives the picture strong civic identity, reflecting local pride, Scouse culture, creativity, music heritage and the city's media presence. The prominent glass frontage, steel framing, corner architecture and street level entrance make this useful for editorial, documentary and commercial themes around broadcasting, communications, local news, radio production, media buildings, cultural identity and central Liverpool. BBC Radio Merseyside broadcasts from studios on Hanover Street, making the site recognisable to listeners and those interested in regional broadcasting. People standing outside add scale and a natural everyday city feel, reinforcing themes of accessibility, public engagement and the visible presence of media organisations within the heart of the city. Useful search themes include BBC building, Liverpool media hub, local radio station, public broadcaster, modern office facade, city centre architecture, journalism in the North West, civic messaging, regional press, presenter advertising, glass office exterior, Liverpool streetscene and contemporary Britain. The weather appears bright but overcast, typical of a mild day in north west England, with soft light on the exterior and clear signage visible from the street. This is a strong editorial image for stories about local identity, the BBC in the regions, Liverpool culture, media employment and place branding.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8PW0E - A roadside Kids Planet Day Nurseries recruitment banner in Appleton Thorn, Warrington, Cheshire, promoting early years childcare careers with the slogan Careers that are out of this world. The blue outdoor sign, fixed to railings beside a brick pavement and greenery, advertises nursery jobs at a private day nursery and includes the Kids Planet branding, website and Recruiting now message. The image is commercially useful for editorial coverage of childcare, nursery staffing, early years education, recruitment shortages, working parents and the cost of childcare in England. Kids Planet Appleton Thorn is listed by Ofsted at Thorn House, Green Lane, Appleton, Warrington, WA4 5NS, and the operator describes the nursery as set in the heart of Appleton Thorn with traditional building features and outdoor space. The photograph links a local Cheshire nursery setting with wider national debates about funded childcare places, Tax-Free Childcare, nursery capacity, childcare affordability and the pressure on providers to recruit and retain qualified early years staff. In England, eligible working parents may be able to receive funded childcare support, including 30 hours a week for children aged 9 months to 4 years, while Tax-Free Childcare can help eligible families pay approved providers. The word free is often used politically and in media coverage, but funded childcare is more precise because eligibility rules, provider charges, consumables, hours and local availability can all affect what parents actually pay. The overcast daylight, damp-looking paving and green roadside setting give the image an everyday suburban feel, making it suitable for news, policy, education, family finance and labour market stories. It can illustrate nursery recruitment campaigns, childcare benefits, government support, parental employment, local jobs, early years workforce pressures, private nursery provision and the practical reality behind childcare promises.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E424AJ - Greenhalgh's Craft Bakery on Sankey Street in Warrington town centre is shown with its bright green shopfront, window posters for pies and hot food, and the slogan good honest food below the display. The bakery is part of Greenhalgh's, a North West family craft bakery founded in 1957, with the company saying it now operates more than 50 retail stores and sells breads, pies, cakes, savouries, pasties, sandwiches, breakfast items and wholesale bakery products. The Warrington branch is listed by Greenhalgh's at 35 Sankey Street, Warrington, WA1 1XG, and the company says the shop opened in 2008. The image is commercially useful for stories about British high street bakeries, local food retail, pies, pastries, sandwiches, lunchtime trade, town centre shopping, family bakery brands and the continuing appeal of savoury baked goods in northern England. It also works for more critical coverage of processed and ultra-processed convenience food, high-fat snacks, salt, pastry-heavy diets, obesity, public health, food marketing and the tension between traditional comfort food and healthier eating campaigns. The Beat the Winter Blues and fresh bake, fresh mood posters show how bakery chains promote warm pies, buns, bakes and hot drinks as affordable everyday treats. The neighbouring Warhammer sign, urban pavement and shop windows add wider town-centre context, showing Greenhalgh's as part of an ordinary retail street rather than a staged food image. The photograph can also illustrate pressure on high streets, bakery competition, changing lunch habits, grab-and-go food, food inflation, small retail employment and the role of local chains in filling former town-centre shopping areas. As a documentary stock photograph, it captures the public-facing branding of a familiar regional bakery, where nostalgia, convenience, local footfall, processed food choices and high street survival all meet in one shopfront.

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

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8E1DH - Othello Taxis vehicle seen in Stratford-upon-Avon town centre, Warwickshire, using a Shakespeare-themed company name in the playwright's home town. The black taxi-style vehicle carries large white Othello Taxis branding, the phone number 01789 336226 and a Download Our App message, linking traditional local taxi services with app-based booking. The name Othello is a clear literary reference to William Shakespeare's tragedy, making the image useful for editorial features on Stratford-upon-Avon tourism, Shakespeare heritage, local transport, theatre travel, visitor services, branding, small businesses and the way the town's cultural identity is reflected in everyday commercial life. Othello Taxis describes itself as a Stratford-upon-Avon taxi service offering local journeys, airport transfers and long-distance travel for personal and business customers, and its contact page gives a Bishopton operating address in Stratford-upon-Avon. The photograph works well for stories about visitors moving between Shakespeare's Birthplace, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Holy Trinity Church, hotels, restaurants, railway station and town centre attractions. It also suits articles on taxi apps, local cab operators, independent transport firms, tourism infrastructure, accessible town-centre mobility and the visitor economy in Warwickshire. Stratford-upon-Avon is deeply associated with Shakespeare, so a taxi firm named after one of his major plays becomes more than a simple vehicle shot: it shows how literary tourism shapes names, signage, marketing and local business identity. The town-centre setting, parked vehicles, shopfronts and street activity give the image a practical documentary feel rather than a staged advertising view. It is a useful stock image for travel guides, theatre-going features, local news, transport reporting, business directories, tourism blogs and articles about how Shakespeare remains woven into the commercial and civic fabric.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X5K8GW - A close-up image of a weathered metal sign reading Thelwall Underbridge mounted on a stone bridge structure along the Bridgewater Canal in Thelwall, Warrington, Cheshire, England. The sign shows signs of age, with worn paint and surface marks, reflecting the long operational history of the canal.
The Bridgewater Canal, opened in the eighteenth century, is regarded as one of the most significant waterways of the Industrial Revolution, enabling the efficient transport of goods between Manchester, Liverpool, and surrounding areas. Underbridges such as this allowed roads and tracks to pass beneath the canal, forming an integral part of early canal engineering.
Thelwall is a historic village located on the south bank of the River Mersey, later incorporated into Warrington, and the canal remains a prominent local feature used today for leisure walking, cycling, and boating. The simple functional signage captured here reflects the practical design language of Britain's canal network.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating British canal heritage, industrial history, inland waterways, civil engineering landmarks, rural and village environments, and the enduring legacy of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century transport infrastructure in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RWDK09 - The Dominic Cummings scandal, or the Dominic Cummings affair, was a series of events involving the British political strategist Dominic Cummings during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. The events include at least one journey that Cummings, then-chief adviser of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and his family made from London to County Durham after the start of a national lockdown in March 2020 while they were experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
Reports of the trip first emerged in May 2020 following investigations by the Daily Mirror and The Guardian. Questions arose about whether the conduct of Cummings and his wife was lawful and appropriate within the framework of government advice and guidance, given that the public were ordered to stay at home, that all non-essential travel was forbidden during the lockdown, and that infected persons had been instructed to self-isolate.
Cummings denied he had broken any rules in a press conference a few days later. Durham Constabulary investigated the trip, concluding there may have been a minor breach, but did not take any further action. The scandal led to criticism from Members of Parliament (MPs) within and outside the ruling Conservative Party, backlash in the media and from the public, and calls for Cummings to be sacked or resign. Prominent politicians in the government, including Johnson, rejected these and expressed support for Cummings. Polling suggested that support for the Conservative Party and confidence in the British government's pandemic response fell as a result of the scandal.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJ3YRG - Buxton Town Hall was opened in 1889 on the Market Place in Buxton, Derbyshire, England. It lies in the town's central Conservation Area overlooking The Slopes. It is a Grade-II-listed building.
The building was designed in the style of a French château (with a mansard roof crested with iron railings, Venetian windows and a clocktower with a cupola) by Manchester architect William Pollard (who also designed Buxton College's Gothic-style 'new building' in 1880). After the Market Hall (designed by Henry Currey) was destroyed by a fire in September 1885, the site was selected for the new town hall. The fire brigade with the town's new fire engine was unable to control the fire started by a paraffin lamp in one of the shops in the Market Hall. A competition was held in 1886 for the design of the new town hall. William Pollard's design won the £50 prize and James Salt's local firm was selected to build it at a tender of £8,900 (Salt also built the Entertainment Stage theatre, which is now the Pavilion Arts Centre). The chairman of the governing Local Board, Edward Milligan, laid the foundation stone in June 1887 (the year of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria). The Marquess of Hartington conducted the official opening of the town hall on 26 June 1889.
The clock on the clock tower was a gift from the Duke of Devonshire's tenants in 1889, in honour of Lord Frederick Cavendish, who was stabbed to death aged 45 in the Phoenix Park Murders in Dublin in May 1882 (shortly after arriving to take up his new post as Chief Secretary for Ireland). There is a bust of Lord Cavendish (son of the 7th Duke of Devonshire) on display inside the town hall

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RH8AFW - Harrogate railway station serves the town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, England. Located on the Harrogate Line it is 18.25 miles (29 km) north of Leeds. Northern Trains operate the station and provide local passenger train services, with a London North Eastern Railway service to and from London King's Cross running six times per day.
History
The station was opened by the North Eastern Railway on 1 August 1862. It was designed by the architect Thomas Prosser and was the first building in Harrogate built of brick and had two platforms. Before it opened (and the associated approach lines), the town's rail routes had been somewhat fragmented the York and North Midland Railway branch line from Church Fenton via Tadcaster had a terminus in the town (see below), but the Leeds Northern Railway main line between Leeds and Thirsk bypassed it to the east to avoid costly engineering work to cross the Crimple Valley and the East and West Yorkshire Junction Railway from York terminated at Starbeck. Once the individual companies had become part of the NER, the company concentrated all lines at a new single depot.
The station was largely demolished in 1964/65 and replaced with a more utilitarian one (with fewer platforms) by Taylor Bown and Miller, Architects (Harrogate). A car park now occupies the site of the former bay platforms on the south side. It coincided with the loss of three of the main routes through the town in the Beeching Axe both routes via Wetherby closed to passenger traffic on 6 January 1964 and the Leeds Northern route to Northallerton via Ripon on 6 March 1967.
The York branch was included in Beeching's 1963 report, but it was reprieved in 1966 and remains open.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGPNAD - The Red Lion Joseph Holt pub on Bury New Road in Prestwich, Greater Manchester, photographed in bright sunshine with outdoor tables, brick frontage, hanging bunting and traditional pub signage visible. The image shows the large red brick pub building at 398 Bury New Road, a prominent local landmark in Prestwich village and a Joseph Holt public house with strong connections to the local drinking culture around Mark E Smith and The Fall. The scene is useful for editorial coverage of Manchester music heritage, post-punk history, pub culture, northern high streets, Joseph Holt Brewery, traditional locals, live music, beer gardens, pub crawls and cultural tourism in Greater Manchester. Mark E Smith, frontman and permanent driving force of The Fall, grew up around Prestwich and the band was formed locally in 1976, making pubs, shops, streets and landmarks around Bury New Road part of the informal geography of Fall fan pilgrimage. Local writing on Bury New Road notes that Smith drank in pubs along Prestwich village, including The Red Lion, while fan walking guides connect nearby locations with The Fall photographs and Mark E Smith stories. The photograph has added value because the Red Lion is not just a generic pub exterior, but part of a wider Prestwich music trail that also includes the Mark E Smith mural at Chips at No8, local streets, former band haunts and places associated with the band's uncompromising northern identity. Visible details such as the Joseph Holt lettering, red brick elevations, arched doorway, outside benches, chalkboard, railings, pavement, blue sky and strong summer light give the image a clear documentary sense of place. It can illustrate features on The Fall, Mark E Smith, Manchester alternative music, independent pubs, brewery estates, Prestwich regeneration, pub heritage, fan culture, music tourism and the role of ordinary local pubs in shaping cultural memory, alongside wider stories about community, place and northern identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2REGJ40 - This image shows the exterior of Radio Northwich, a community radio station based in Northwich, Cheshire. The station operates as a local, non-commercial broadcaster, providing a mix of music, local news, interviews, and community-focused programming aimed at serving residents of Northwich and the surrounding area.
Radio Northwich broadcasts on FM locally and also streams online, reflecting the hybrid nature of modern community radio in the UK. Programming typically includes locally produced shows, specialist music output, and coverage of local events, charities, and voluntary groups, with a strong emphasis on community participation and volunteering.
The station is independently run and community-owned, operating on a not-for-profit basis rather than as part of a national commercial radio network. Community radio stations such as Radio Northwich play an important role in local media ecosystems, particularly as traditional local newspapers and commercial radio services have declined.
The photograph appears to have been taken in late-day light, with warm reflections visible in the glass frontage of the building. The modern exterior places the station firmly within Northwich town centre, highlighting the visibility and accessibility of community media within everyday urban life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP32G - The exterior of the Coleraine Chronicle newspaper offices at 2 Lodge Road in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The signage identifies the premises of one of Northern Ireland's long-established local newspapers, which has played a significant role in reporting community, civic, and regional affairs in the Coleraine area and the wider Causeway Coast.
The Coleraine Chronicle has historically covered local government, courts, sport, business, and community life, reflecting the traditional role of the provincial press as a record of everyday events as well as major local news. Like many regional newspapers across the UK and Ireland, it has operated through periods of major change in the media industry, including the decline of print advertising and the shift toward digital news consumption.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents the physical presence of local journalism within a Northern Irish town, illustrating how small newspaper offices remain embedded in local streetscapes. It serves as a visual reference for themes of regional media, press history, community reporting, and the changing economics of local news.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP368 - This image shows a richly coloured stained glass heraldic panel inside Coleraine Town Hall, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The central shield bears crossed symbols and decorative floral motifs, surmounted by the Red Hand of Ulster, one of the most recognisable and historically significant emblems of the province of Ulster.
The banner text reading Newton Governor references civic or administrative authority connected with Coleraine's historical governance, reflecting the town's importance as a regional centre during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Surrounding the shield are elaborate decorative elements typical of Victorian and Edwardian stained glass, including scrollwork, symbolic objects, and vibrant blue, gold, and green glass.
Stained glass such as this was commonly installed in municipal buildings to express civic pride, authority, and continuity, combining local identity with broader Ulster and British heraldic traditions. The image is suitable for editorial use relating to Northern Irish history, heraldry, civic architecture, stained glass art, and local government 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 façade 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 2RG1TX3 - A bus stop sign displaying local bus route information in the village of Heptonstall, Calderdale, West Yorkshire. The sign carries WY Metro branding and provides details of services running towards Blackshaw Head and Hebden Bridge, illustrating the role of scheduled bus transport in connecting rural Pennine communities.
Public transport signage such as this forms a vital part of everyday infrastructure in villages where access to private vehicles may be limited. Bus services linking Heptonstall with nearby settlements and rail connections help support employment, education, healthcare access, and social inclusion, particularly for older residents and those without cars.
The sign is mounted on a metal pole against a blue sky with light cloud, with overhead utility lines visible, reinforcing the rural village setting. The clear presentation of destinations and service information reflects the standardised approach to transport information across West Yorkshire.
Photographed in daylight, the image works as an editorial illustration of rural public transport, community connectivity, and the practical realities of mobility in Yorkshire villages.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2N330D4 - CAMRA-acclaimed Appleton Thorn Village Hall bar in Cheshire is shown with a real ale tasting paddle, handpull beer pumps, illuminated bar counter and a chalkboard listing cask ales from breweries including Castle Rock, Salamander, Portobello, Acorn, Abbeydale and Tiny Rebel. The image captures a traditional volunteer-supported community bar at the heart of village life, where members and guests can enjoy real ale, cider, craft beer and social conversation in a local village hall rather than a commercial pub chain. Appleton Thorn Village Hall describes its bar as offering a warm welcome to members, while CAMRA notes that the hall has been CAMRA National Club of the Year more than once, with real ales mainly from independent breweries, many from Cheshire and North Wales, and third-pint paddles available. The photograph is commercially useful for stories about CAMRA, real ale, cask beer, volunteer-run bars, community pubs, village halls, social clubs, beer tasting, local breweries, hospitality, rural community life and the survival of traditional beer culture. The visible chalkboard prices, polished brass handpulls, beer mats, pump clips, tasting glasses and wooden paddle give the scene strong documentary detail and make it useful for editorial coverage of beer choice, cellar quality, community volunteering, club membership, social drinking and the role of village halls as informal public spaces. It can also illustrate wider debate about pub closures, rising hospitality costs, changing drinking habits, beer duty, local fundraising, independent brewing and the value of community-owned or community-run social venues. The warm indoor lighting, stocked back bar and line-up of different beer styles create an inviting image of real ale culture, showing not just a drink but a social tradition built around local knowledge, volunteers, conversation and shared community effort.

An angry Warrington South MP Andy Carter says he is going to raise the Home Office decision to allow asylum seekers at the Fir Grove Hotel at Grappenhall in parliament in the coming week.
Mr Carter yesterday held a number of meetings to understand the legal options available to Warrington Borough Council, which also opposes the decision.
He said: I held a number of meetings yesterday to understand the legal options available to the Council in terms of challenging decisions taken by the owners of the hotel and to gain more information from the Home Office and their plans for this site.
In discussions with Home Office officials, I have been advised that the cohort planned for accommodation this site will be families with children. Prior to arriving in Warrington the refugees will have been processed at centres elsewhere. The hotel has 54 rooms and a maximum occupancy of 79 guests in total.
The advice received from Kings Counsel was that an immediate legal challenge to this decision to use this site for Asylum Seekers would be unlikely to succeed, not least due the incredibly short timescales before the asylum seekers arrive in Warrington and the location of the owners of the site. Other local authorities are however pursuing legal routes related to planning legislation and a change of use requirements, which I am monitoring.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K7NBMT - North Yorkshire Police is the territorial police force covering the non-metropolitan county of North Yorkshire and the unitary authority of York in northern England. As of September 2018 the force had a strength of 1,357 police officers, 127 special constables, 192 PCSOs and 1,072 police staff. Of the 43 territorial police forces in England and Wales, the force has the 5th largest geographic area of responsibility whilst being the 15th smallest force in terms of police officer numbers
The force was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, and was largely a successor to the York and North East Yorkshire Police, also taking part of the old West Riding Constabulary's area. The York and North East Yorkshire Police had covered the North Riding of Yorkshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire and the county borough of York
it was itself formed in 1968 from a merger of the two riding forces with the York City Police
In July 2017, the force's headquarters was moved from Newby Wiske to Alverton Court in Northallerton. The new headquarters is the former offices of the Rural Payments Agency
Since November 2012, the force has been overseen by the elected North Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner. Since 2018, this role has also included oversight of the North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In October 2021, the incumbent commissioner Philip Allott resigned following comments surrounding the murder of Sarah Everard

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K69A4H - Gloucester Services are a pair of Motorway Service Areas (MSA) serving the northbound and southbound carriageways of the M5 between Junction 11A and Junction 12, near Whaddon, Gloucester. It specialises in selling artisanal food, and does not offer outlets for popular chain food brands.
Construction of the northbound services began in early 2013, and they officially opened on 7 May 2014. Construction of the southbound services commenced in March 2014 and they opened on 19 May 2015
In September 2009, the independent motorway services operator Westmorland Motorway Services Ltd, jointly with a local charitable trust, Gloucestershire Gateway Trust, submitted plans for a service area at Matson for public consultation. The plans were for a business operated in a similar manner to Tebay Services on the M6 in Cumbria, with much of the food and produce on sale being sourced from local suppliers
The operator promised not to host chain coffee shops, fast-food outlets, or video and gambling machines
The service area supports the Gloucestershire Gateway Trust in assisting the business to provide good jobs for more deprived areas of Gloucester, and to support local social regeneration schemes.
The 2019 Motorway Services User Survey found that Gloucester's southbound side was in the top five motorway services in the UK for customer satisfaction
The District Council was informed at the end of February 2011 that Roadchef and Welcome Break (the operators of Strensham and Michaelwood service stations) had applied to the High Court for a judicial review of the Council's decision to grant planning permission. Joined in the action were CAMSA and the Parish Councils of Brookthorpe-with-Whaddon and Harescombe. The case was heard in the High Court in Birmingham on 17 and 18 January 2012. By 8 February 2012, the High Court had dismissed all challenges to the planning application
One of the factors that helped the development gain planning permission was the inclusion of a green roof

The Market began in 1500. The market building used today dates from 1867. There is a Market on three days a week, and there are stalls inside and out. Nantwich is a busy shopping centre with many fine food, drink and clothing retailers.
Nantwich is an ancient settlement and there were Romans here. The wich' part of the name comes from salt, which the town remains famous for. The local salt springs were good for making salt, and in the 1900s were popular for health tourists. The town still has a popular heated outdoor brine swimming pool.

As well, the Grade I listed Church of St James includes a plaque to William Grevel, described as the flower of the wool merchants of all England. His home, the Grade I listed Grevel's House, was built c. 1380. It is not open to visitors. Chipping Campden is a market town in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It is notable for its terraced High Street, dating from the 14th century to the 17th century. (Chipping is from Old English cēping, 'market', 'market-place'
the same element is found in other towns such as Chipping Norton, Chipping Sodbury and Chipping (now High) Wycombe.)
A wool trading centre in the Middle Ages, Chipping Campden enjoyed the patronage of wealthy wool merchants, most notably William Greville (d.1401). The High Street is lined with buildings built from locally quarried oolitic limestone known as Cotswold stone, and boasts a wealth of vernacular architecture. Much of the town centre is a conservation area which has helped to preserve the original buildings. The town is an end point of the Cotswold Way, a 102-mile long-distance footpath.
Chipping Campden has hosted its own Olympic Games since 1612.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPH6R4 - Gwatkins Cidery and cider maker Denis Gwatkin from Herefordshire UK. Cider has a lengthy history in the UK dating back to around the 12th Century and possibly even earlier. In terms of Gwatkin Cidery's history, Denis says our orchards are first marked on our 1830 map, so cider making has a long tradition on our farm, which started out as a grange for the nearby abbey in 1147.
Gwatkin Cidery is a uniquely family-owned and operated farm, business, and home. We are one of the largest if not the largest traditional cider makers in Britain. By traditional we mean that we only allow natural fermentation to occur, we don't use sulphites to kill off the natural yeast and substitute them with a wine yeast, says Denis. They make and sell about 35 ciders and perrys (fermented pear) including seasonal rotations and a few local beer selections.
All of the cider produced at Gwatkin is packaged and sold in bottles as most traditional-style cideries do. While there is no inherent difference to taste of ciders sold in cans versus bottles, caning and caning lines are a rather modern technology. A few of the ciders Gwatkin Cidery makes include Kingstone Black, Golden Valley Scrumpy, award winning Yarlington Mill Cider, and Stoke Red Cider.
For Denis, his favorite thing about cider making is tasting the end product after months of slow fermentation in our wooden barrels. He emphasized that cider is naturally fermented by wild yeasts, a taste of the past before Louis Pasteur started advising other cider makers in the late nineteenth century.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2J92PEJ - River of Life, opened officially 14th November 1996 by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent with Warrington Borough Council
The River of Life project was developed in the aftermath of the 1993 IRA bomb in Warrington, which killed two boys - Tim Parry and Jonathan Ball - and injured dozens of people in Warrington City Centre.
The desire was to bring hope, freshness and new life to Bridge Street and the community. A streetscape concept emerged, incorporating every aspect of the urban landscape and its elements including paving, seating units and lighting columns.
Central to the design is a tear shaped water feature. Water emerges from a broken glacial boulder, flows along a bronze channel, whose sides tell the story of creation, in low relief detail, and cascades onto a bronze dome, which bears the imprints of the hands of local school children. The dome is circled by a disk of etched copper that pictures the faces of several children, including Tim and Jonathan.
Inspiration for the River of Life came from the powerful description of waters and the leaves of the trees - for the healing of the nations - described in the biblical book of Revelation. Symbols of brokeness, healing, new life and the passage of time can be seen and discovered throughout this unique artwork.
A symbolic water source is re-created over the full length of the pedestrianised section of Bridge Street. Using natural stone and granite sets, the floor design detail accurately mirrors the meandering course of the River Mersey as it passes through the borough of Warrington. Set into this meandering path are 12 bronze discs, that are part of the Leaves of the Trees project and involved twelve primary schools from the Borough

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DKW7N6 - Latchford is a suburb and electoral ward of Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is around one mile south-east of Warrington town centre and has a total resident population of 7,856.
Latchford is a predominantly residential area, Latchford lies between the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, and broadly consists of 19th-century terraced housing and some open space. The canal is crossed here by a swing bridge, a high-level road bridge and the now disused Latchford railway viaduct.
Its name came from Anglo-Saxon Læccford meaning boggy-stream ford
Latchford was originally a township in the ancient parish of Grappenhall, in Cheshire. It was also part of Bucklow Hundred, and was close to the border with Lancashire.
Between 1894 and 1974, part of Latchford was placed within the County Borough of Warrington, and the registration county of Lancashire, whilst the rest of Latchford became a civil parish named Latchford Without and was transferred to Lancashire.
With the local government reforms of 1974, as part of the newly formed Cheshire borough of Warrington, Latchford was transferred back to Cheshire

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2C59GH7 - Weetwood Ales began brewing in 1992 when finding a great pint of cask ale was a challenge. The brewery was founded by Adrian Slater, a skilled brewer, and Roger Langford, a farmer with space in a barn and a love for proper beer. Roger's farm is in Weetwood Common, near Tarporley in Cheshire and the brewery took the name.
From day one, the brewery combined in-depth knowledge of a very large brewery with the passion, dedication, service and humility of a small business. Weetwood's enduring reputation for consistency and quality developed and a large, loyal following resulted.
Word spread, awards were won and output increased. A talented team of skilled people was built up and a new, bigger brewery was built. In 2014, Adrian and Roger took a well-deserved step back and new owners Phil McLaughlin and Laura Humby arrived. Phil and Laura are a brother-and-sister team who bring passion, experience and enthusiasm to continue to produce and supply great beers.
The founders remain involved along with most, if not all, of the original customers, still serving Weetwood Ales for beer lovers who come back for another.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ABJGC0 - The Barras is a major street and indoor weekend market in the East End of Glasgow, Scotland. The term barra is Glaswegian dialect for barrow, relating to the market's early years, where traders sold their wares from handcarts. Barrowland is sometimes used to describe the district itself where the market is located, which is actually officially known as Calton.
Because of its location on Gallowgate the main thoroughfare from the city centre to Parkhead and Celtic Park, Barrowlands is also notable for its large concentration of public houses and shops devoted to fans of Celtic Football Club. Baird's Bar was one of the best known Celtic-oriented pubs next door to the Barrowland Ballroom building, the bar has since closed down due to violent incidents that have occurred in the premises. The bar is to be reopened as a furniture store.
Glasgow Antiques and Randalls Antique and vintage Center, the Cartwheel and the Square Yard can all be found next to the Squirrel Bar.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFFG6 - Many people in Glasgow, Scotland, pass the impressive City Chambers building every day with no idea of the magnificent opulence awaiting inside.
Step inside the stately structure, and you'll realize the phrase more marble than the Vatican is no exaggeration. The Scottish building has even been used as a stand-in for the Vatican in films.
The City Chambers also boast Western Europe's largest marble staircase. The three ornate levels were built using Carrara marble imported from Italy.
Glasgow's City Chambers were designed by William Young, who won the bid amid a competition between 125 entries. The building was completed in 1888 and opened by Queen Victoria.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFFG9 - The need for a new city chambers had been apparent since the 18th century, with the old Tolbooth at Glasgow Cross becoming insufficient for the purposes of civic government in a growing town with greater political responsibilities. In 1814, the Tolbooth was sold with the exception of the steeple, which still remains and the council chambers moved to Jail Square in the Saltmarket, near Glasgow Green. Subsequent moves were made to Wilson Street and Ingram Street. In the early 1880s, City Architect John Carrick was asked to identify a suitable site for a purpose built City Council Chambers. Carrick identified the east side of George Square, which was then bought.
Following a design competition, the building was designed by the Scottish architect William Young in the Victorian style and construction started in 1882. The building was inaugurated by Queen Victoria in August 1888 and the first council meeting held within the chambers took place in October 1889. An extension connected by pairs of archways across John Street was completed in 1912 and Exchange House in George Street was completed in the mid-1980s

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BCTGRG - Stockport is a large, major town in Greater Manchester, England, 7 miles (11 km) south-east of Manchester city centre, where the River Goyt and Tame merge to create the River Mersey, and the largest in the metropolitan borough of the same name.
Historically, most of the town was in Cheshire, but the area to the north of the Mersey was in Lancashire. Stockport in the 16th century was a small town entirely on the south bank of the Mersey, and known for the cultivation of hemp and manufacture of rope. In the 18th century the town had one of the first mechanised silk factories in the British Isles. However, Stockport's predominant industries of the 19th century were the cotton and allied industries. Stockport was also at the centre of the country's hatting industry, which by 1884 was exporting more than six million hats a year
the last hat works in Stockport closed in 1997.
Dominating the western approaches to the town is the Stockport Viaduct. Built in 1840, the viaduct's 27 brick arches carry the mainline railways from Manchester to Birmingham and London over the River Mersey. This structure featured as the background in many paintings by L. S. Lowry.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XNE9 - A credit union is a member-owned nonprofit cooperative financial institution.
Credit unions may offer financial services as commercial banks such as share accounts (savings accounts), share draft accounts (cheque accounts), credit cards, credit, share term certificates (certificates of deposit), and online banking. Normally, only a member of a credit union may deposit or borrow money. In several African countries, credit unions are commonly referred to as SACCOs (Savings and Credit Co-Operatives).
Worldwide, credit union systems vary significantly in their total assets and average institution asset size, ranging from volunteer operations with a handful of members to institutions with hundreds of thousands of members and assets worth billions of US dollars. In 2018, the number of members in credit unions worldwide was 375 million, with over 100 million members having been added since 2016.
Leading up to the financial crisis of 20072008, commercial banks engaged in approximately five times more subprime lending relative to credit unions and were two and a half times more likely to fail during the crisis. American credit unions more than doubled lending to small businesses between 2008 and 2016, from $30 billion to $60 billion, while lending to small businesses overall during the same period declined by around $100 billion. In the US, public trust in credit unions stands at 60%, compared to 30% for big banks. Furthermore, small businesses are 80% more likely to be satisfied by a credit union than with a big bank.
Natural-person credit unions (also called retail credit unions or consumer credit unions) serve individuals, as distinguished from corporate credit unions, which serve other credit unions

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFFF90 - Thwaites Brewery is a regional brewery owned by founded in 1807 by Daniel Thwaites in Blackburn, Lancashire, England. The firm still operates from its original town centre site, although the original brewery was demolished in 2011, and part of its beer business was sold to Marston's in March 2015. Today, Thwaites still produces beer but it in much smaller quantities as it only sells to its own estate of pubs, inns and hotels. In 1999, the Mitchell brewery in Lancaster closed down, and was bought in part by Thwaites. Lancaster Bomber has since been available from Thwaites public houses after being acquired in the takeover. Lancaster Bomber is now brewed by Marston's, as is Wainwright, the other top-selling Thwaite's beer.
The company has over 270 pubs, mainly in the North of England but reaching from the North Lakes area down to Solihull & Leicestershire. It also has six four-star Hotels & Spas and eight Inns of Characters
The brewery invested heavily in pasteurised keg beers, especially those powered by nitro in the 1990s. However, it is now working to increase the market for its cask beers. Thwaites unveiled a new craft brewery in December 2011 named Crafty Dan

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P8KEYN - Bawtry is a small market town and civil parish which lies where the western branch of the Roman Ermine Street crosses the River Idle in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England, close to the county's border with Nottinghamshire, and meets the old course of the Great North Road. Nearby towns include Gainsborough to the east, Retford to the south south-east, Worksop to the south-west and Doncaster to the north-west. Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire, it had a population of 3,204 in the UK census of 2001, increasing to 3,573 at the 2011 Census
Bawtry is located in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster on the border with Nottinghamshire, and is situated between Bircotes and Misson at the conjunction of the A614, A631 and A638 roads. The present A638 was for centuries the Great North Road, and in the 20th century the town was a notorious bottleneck, until it was bypassed in 1965. The county boundary with Nottinghamshire runs just to the south of the town and for this reason the southernmost house on the Great North Road is named 'Number One Yorkshire'.
The town's former prosperity was based on its communications, the River Idle in the days when it was a port, the Great North Road in the coaching era, and the Great Northern Railway.
Bawtry's geographical location is 53° 25' 40 North, 1° 1' West, at an elevation of around 65 feet (20 m) above sea level.
The town is located just south of Doncaster Sheffield Airport, formerly RAF Finningley. Bawtry Hall was home to RAF No.1 Group Bomber Command during and after the Second World War, and became the Headquarters of RAF Strike Command (see RAF Bawtry). From 1989 to 2013 Bawtry Hall operated as a Christian conference centre and a base for several Christian organisations.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P307AH - Altrincham Market is shown busy with shoppers, flower stalls and independent traders in the regenerated market quarter of Altrincham, Trafford, Greater Manchester. The image shows the open market area beside the timber-framed covered structure, with potted plants, bouquets, gazebos, luggage and retail stalls set out across the paved public space. People browse and chat in a relaxed town-centre setting under a cloudy early-season sky, giving the photograph a strong everyday documentary feel. Altrincham has long market-town roots, with its market charter dating back to 1290, but the modern revival of the Market House and surrounding streets has made it a widely cited example of successful high-street regeneration in North West England. The scene is useful for editorial coverage of retail revival, town centre renewal, local authority regeneration, independent food halls, markets, small businesses, place-making, public realm investment, hospitality-led footfall and the reinvention of traditional shopping streets. It also works for comparisons with destination food markets such as Borough Market in Southwark, while retaining a distinct Greater Manchester character: smaller scale, suburban, mixed retail and strongly linked to local community life. The timber canopy, brick buildings, white tents and outdoor flower displays show a market environment that blends heritage, leisure, food, drink, shopping and social activity rather than relying only on conventional chain retail. Altrincham Market has been associated with the town's wider comeback, drawing visitors, raising footfall and supporting cafés, bars, restaurants and specialist traders. This photograph can illustrate debates about changing town centres, the decline of old retail models, the value of markets as anchors, council regeneration, independent enterprise, sustainable local shopping, visitor economy, Trafford prosperity and the appeal of public spaces where people can shop, eat, meet and linger.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GGWH4B - Liverpool Town Hall stands in High Street at its junction with Dale Street, Castle Street, and Water Street in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and described in the list as one of the finest surviving 18th-century town halls. The authors of the Buildings of England series refer to its magnificent scale, and consider it to be probably the grandest ...suite of civic rooms in the country, and an outstanding and complete example of late Georgian decoration.
It is not an administrative building but a civic suite, Lord Mayor's parlour and Council chamber
local government administration is centred at the nearby Municipal Buildings. The town hall was built between 1749 and 1754 to a design by John Wood the Elder replacing an earlier town hall nearby. An extension to the north designed by James Wyatt was added in 1785. Following a fire in 1795 the hall was largely rebuilt and a dome designed by Wyatt was built. Minor alterations have subsequently been made. The streets surrounding its site have altered since its initiation, notably when viewed from Castle Street, the south-side, it appears as off-centre. This is because Water Street which ran to the junction with Dale Street, the west-east axis, was continuous and built up across the junction so that the Town Hall was not visible originally from that aspect. The structures were removed 150 years after this to expose the building from this position.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7NBP8 - München Hauptbahnhof (German for Munich main railway station) is the main railway station in the city of Munich, Germany. It is one of the three long distance stations in Munich, the others being München-Pasing and München Ost. München Hauptbahnhof sees about 450,000 passengers a day, which puts it on par with other large stations in Germany, such as Hamburg Hauptbahnhof and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof.
It is one of 21 stations classified by Deutsche Bahn as a category 1 station. The mainline station is a terminal station with 32 platforms. The subterranean S-Bahn with 2 platforms and U-Bahn stations with 6 platforms are through stations.
The first Munich station was built about 800 metres to the west in 1839. A station at the current site was opened in 1849 and it has been rebuilt numerous times, including to replace the main station building, which was badly damaged during World War II.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYAX5J - The Warrington Club is one of this historic town's few remaining traditional establishments
founded in 1876 by leading Victorian industrialists, statesmen and professionals for the sole purpose of providing a venue where members could meet on a regular basis in comfortable surroundings to enjoy each others company and meaningful conversation.
The Club offered an excellent opportunity for business ideas, suggestions and deals to be discussed considering that in those early days there was no other means of communication except for a rather hit and miss postal service. In the modern idiom the Club provided what is now known as net working'.
The building occupied by the Warrington Club in Bold Street was purpose built using monies raised by the original 76 founder members. Those familiar with Warrington will no doubt recognise the names of some of the founder members.
Arthur Bennett (1862- 1931) a chartered accountant, was a remarkable character. He served as a Councellor and Alderman for many years and had hopes of making Warrington a Garden City'. Sadly, the Great War shattered the dream but the quality of the one completed terrace of houses in Sankey gives some evidence of his vision. The foundation stone was laid by the great pioneer of garden cities, Ebenezer Howard. Bennett was a prolific writer. His Dream of a Warringtonian', if romanticised, is still a very readable history of our 1,000 year old town, and his collection of poems Songs of a Chartered Accountant' posesses both warmth and charm. John, Earnest Crosfield of Joseph Crosfield & Sons Ltd. Finally, Sir Gilbert Greenall MP, Lieut Col. Greenall and Captain Grenall of the Greenall Whitley Brewery. Paul, Harry and George Rylands founders of the world famous Rylands Brothers Ltd, Wire & Nails manufacturers hence the obvious connection with the local Rugby League team known as The Wires'.

Over 50 laden wagons sped back down the line heading towards Dukinfield Station and an occupied 'workers' train. Turning the points, he forced the runaway train onto a track towards Dukinfield goods yard, narrowly averting a major disaster.

A North Staffordshire oatcake is a type of pancake made from oatmeal, flour and yeast. It is cooked on a griddle or 'baxton'. The oatcake is a local speciality in the North Staffordshire area of England. They are normally referred to as Staffordshire oatcakes or possibly Potteries oatcakes by non-locals, because they were made in this area. In and around Staffordshire and Cheshire they are often simply known as oatcakes.
Derbyshire oatcakes are similar to Staffordshire oatcakes, but while following a similar (or even the same) recipe are generally larger in diameter, and thicker. For example the same recipe will make four Derbyshire or twelve Staffordshire style oatcakes.
It was once common throughout the Potteries for oatcakes to be sold directly from the window of a house to customers on the street. The last producer in this style closed on the 25th of March 2012
however, there are many small commercial premises who sell oatcakes. Larger commercial enterprises exist that sell oatcakes to supermarkets and other large distribution chains.
Oatcakes can be a form of fast food. Catering outlets in the area usually offer oatcakes with fillings such as cheese, tomato, onion, bacon, sausage, and egg.
They can also be eaten with sweet fillings such as golden syrup, jam or banana, but this is less common and frowned upon by traditionalists. They are traditionally re-heated by steaming between two plates over a saucepan of water or nowadays by microwave, though some may prefer frying in butter or grilling.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYG15 - Eastgate and Eastgate Clock in Chester, Cheshire, England, stand on the site of the original entrance to the Roman fortress of Deva Victrix. It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.
The original gate was guarded by a timber tower which was replaced by a stone tower in the 2nd century, and this in turn was replaced probably in the 14th century. The present gateway dates from 1768 and is a three-arched sandstone structure which carries the walkway forming part of Chester city walls. In 1899 a clock was added to the top of the gateway to celebrate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria two years earlier. It is carried on openwork iron pylons, has a clock face on all four sides, and a copper ogee cupola. The clock was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. The whole structure, gateway and clock, was listed by English Heritage on 28 July 1955 as a Grade I listed building

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D96MWA - Appleton Thorn is a village in the borough of Warrington in Cheshire, England.
Each June, the village hosts the ceremony of Bawming the Thorn. The current form of the ceremony dates from the Nineteenth century, when it was part of the village's walking day. It involved children from Appleton Thorn Primary School walking through the village and holding sports and games at the school. This now takes place at the Village Hall. The ceremony stopped in the 1930s, but was later revived by the then headmaster, Mr. Bob Jones in the early 1970s. Bawming the Thorn occurs on the Saturday nearest to Midsummer's Day. Local schoolchildren dance around the tree.
Bawming means decorating - during the ceremony the thorn tree is decorated with ribbons and garlands. According to legend, the hawthorn at Appleton Thorn grew from a cutting of the Holy Thorn at Glastonbury, which was itself said to have sprung from the staff of Joseph of Arimathea, the man who arranged for Jesus's burial after the Crucifixion.

The whole structure is faced in ceramic mosaics, pieces from local ceramic companies' products, glass beads, and tiles.
A number of themes have been incorporated into the design, including animals and plants indigenous to the area, a picture of the church, together with mouldings of heads and other features from gravestones and monuments in the churchyard, images of the traditional coal and bottle kilns that made the city famous, as well as high-tech industries, a tribute to Sir Stanley Matthews, whose funeral service was held at the Church, and a depiction of the Trent and Mersey Canal merging into the Sea of Galilee and then into the River Trent as it wraps round the base of the mosaic, unifying the design for the whole structure. Within this ribbon of mosaic, ammonites and different varieties of fish are depicted.
On the front of the bench, facing away from the church, are plaques depicting St Peter's Church and School, interspersed with heads, both European and Asian. The base of the seat features an image of two men in a boat, with a mast in the shape of an upside-down cross and two crossed keys (both emblems of St Peter, to whom the nearby church is dedicated).
The wildlife depicted on the right hand end of the bench includes a bat with outstretched wings, a squirrel, a rabbit, a frog, a snail, a fox, a butterfly, a robin, a blackbird, a magpie, a hedgehog and a wren.
The back of the bench celebrates the industrial heritage of Stoke on Trent. Its designs includes plaques featuring men in flat caps carrying pots to the kiln on wooden boards, bottle kilns, pit winding gear and factory chimneys. These are interspersed with smaller pieces commemorating the pottery produced in the area. Below the seat, the central design is of two cartoon-like figures in a canal barge.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H3FKFW - Robins Pie and Mash shop closes after more than 30 years serving Ilford.
Robins Pie and Mash, Chapel Road, Ilford, which is being run by the fifth generation of a family, closed on Saturday.
Owner June Robins said: There is still demand for pie and mash but unfortunately this is not the case in Ilford any more. Customers seem to want a different type of food.
It was a very sad day when we closed. We first opened the branch over 30 years ago but things have become a lot more expensive, especially as we get all our meat from Scotland.
The company, which has recently started supplying frozen meals to the Asda supermarket chain, also has a number of other branches including one in High Street, Wanstead.
Ms Robins added: When we informed our customers we would be shutting they just kept asking why.
I don't think pie and mash is dying out as we have a lot of demand in other areas including at weddings and football games, including West Ham United.
But times are changing and people seem to want universal food such as pizza and burgers. Pie and mash has a limited regional appeal.
Traditionally pie and mash dates back to the 19th century, when Dutch ships delivered live eels, which were used in pies, to Billingsgate Market.
Customer, Paul Scott, of Sandhurst Drive, Goodmayes, added: This is a great shame and customers aren't happy about it especially as there will now be no more pie and mash shops in Ilford.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HF7X - Manchester gothic town hall , Albert Square, Manchester, England taken with an IR adapted Canon 5D DSLR camera
Manchester Town Hall is a Victorian, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. It is the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse the town hall was completed in 1877. The building occupies a triangular site facing Albert Square and contains offices and grand ceremonial rooms such as the Great Hall which is decorated with the imposing Manchester Murals by Ford Madox Brown illustrating the history of the city. The entrance and Sculpture Hall contain busts and statues of influential figures including Dalton, Joule and Barbirolli. The exterior is dominated by the clock tower which rises to 87 metres (285 feet) and houses Great Abel, the clock bell.
In 1938, a detached Town Hall Extension was completed and is connected by two covered bridges over Lloyd Street. The town hall, which was granted Grade I listed building status on 25 February 1952, is regarded as one of the finest interpretations of Gothic revival architecture in the world
