Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FC89WP - . Vintage dogs love vims pet-food advertising panel recalls an era when illustrated enamel, ceramic and painted advertising signs were built to survive outdoors for years and brand names became part of the streetscape. Vims was associated with the Molassine Company, a British manufacturer known for molasses-based animal feeds and pet products. Vintage pet-food advertising is now collected both for its graphic design and for what it reveals about changing attitudes to domestic animals, feeding and commercial marketing. The cheerful slogan aimed directly at dog owners belongs to a period before television and digital advertising, when shop walls, railway stations and street signs carried bold, memorable messages in durable materials. Surviving examples are therefore objects of design history as well as commercial ephemera. The photograph can illustrate antiques, collectables, retro branding, British manufacturing, pet culture and nostalgia, while also raising questions about authenticity, restoration and the value placed on everyday advertising once its original commercial purpose has disappeared. The photograph also fixes the appearance of the place in the mid-2020s, preserving details that may later disappear through redevelopment, rebranding or changes in regulation. It is suitable for editorial use on social history, local identity, consumer behaviour and the way everyday streets respond to wider economic forces. For archive users, the frame is a useful factual record of how vintage Dogs Love Vims pet-food advertising panel appeared before later redevelopment, replacement or rebranding altered the scene. Search relevance also extends to vintage, documentary photography, local reporting, public policy and mid-2020s social change. The subject provides a concrete visual reference for editors needing a real location rather than a generic illustration of vintage. The real-world setting gives editors precise period context for future archive use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3WNE1 - . Lovelocks attached to a city-centre canal bridge Oxford Road in Manchester, England, UK. Photographed on 25 July 2026. The recorded location is Oxford Road, Manchester, England, UK. Lovelocks attached to a metal fence in Manchester, England, UK. The close view shows a dense cluster of padlocks fastened together in a city-centre location, creating an improvised display of love locks and personal tokens. Such displays are associated with couples, declarations of affection and urban folk traditions, and they have become a recognisable feature in many cities. The image captures street detail, everyday urban culture and the texture of public space in central Manchester. Within the history of landmark bridge, major crossings can reshape travel patterns and regional economies by reducing journey times and creating more reliable routes
Older bridges often continue to be alongside newer structures, producing layered transport landscapes. In relation to cycling route, historical context shows that the canal network changed from commercial freight route to recreational and heritage asset during the twentieth century
Surviving warehouses, locks, mileposts and engineering structures preserve evidence of its original industrial purpose. For the story of mural, it is useful to note that public art turns streets and buildings into records of local culture
Murals, statues and memorial sculpture can commemorate people and events, celebrate industry, respond to politics or simply enliven public space, while materials and style often identify a particular era. Against the 2026 backdrop for landmark bridge, large modern crossings also form part of debates about transport capacity, carbon, tolling and the long-term value of major infrastructure investment. As of 2026, the position for cycling route is that the condition and funding of ageing waterway infrastructure remain recurring issues, while canals are valued for navigation, walking, cycling, biodiversity and urban.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E49BKY - . Love OK public artwork beside apartment towers in Salford. Photographed on 21 March 2026. The recorded location is Salford, Greater Manchester, England, UK. For the story of statue, it is useful to note that monuments and civic artworks are part of the visual history of place
Their subjects reveal whom a community chose to celebrate, while later reinterpretation or controversy can change the meaning of an apparently permanent object. The historical setting for affordable housing is that images of construction and residential redevelopment can become important evidence of neighbourhood change, particularly where industrial land or older housing is later replaced by higher-density homes. For present-day statue, 2026 is significant because contemporary street art continues to blur the line between unofficial expression, commissioned mural and tourist attraction
Images are therefore relevant to urban culture, creative industries, heritage interpretation and place-making. In the 2026 discussion of affordable housing, housing remains one of the UK's most politically significant issues , with sustained pressure to increase social and affordable supply as well as private housebuilding
Images of estates, new-build sites and apartment schemes are directly relevant to affordability, planning and regeneration.

The banner features black-and-white portraits of band members Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, alongside the official MCR Live '25 branding used across the city for large-scale summer music events.
The Oasis concerts, scheduled for 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20 July 2025, mark the band's first live performances together in many years and have attracted significant national and international attention. Heaton Park, one of Europe's largest municipal parks, has previously hosted landmark performances by major global artists and is closely associated with Manchester's live-music identity.
The image reflects Manchester's continued promotion of its musical heritage and its role as a major UK destination for live music tourism. Photographed in daylight conditions, the scene shows the banner within the urban streetscape, emphasising the city's cultural branding and anticipation surrounding one of the most high-profile British music reunions of the decade.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BR174A - A brightly coloured street art mural featuring a large flaming heart with the words Love is a burning thing painted across its centre, photographed in Liverpool city centre, England. The heart is rendered in vivid reds, oranges, and yellows, surrounded by stylised flames that contrast strongly against the dark blue wall behind it.
The mural combines romantic imagery with bold graphic design, using simple lettering and high-impact colour to create an instantly recognisable visual statement. The phrase Love is a burning thing echoes well-known cultural and musical references, adding a layer of familiarity and emotional resonance for passers-by.
Liverpool has a strong tradition of public street art and murals, particularly in central areas associated with nightlife, music venues, and independent businesses. Works like this contribute to the city's visual identity, turning everyday urban spaces into informal galleries and popular photo locations for residents and visitors alike.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating street art in Liverpool, contemporary urban culture, public murals, romantic symbolism in art, city-centre regeneration, and the role of creative expression in modern British cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RH8AFN - . Large queue at the ever popular Bettys Tea Room, Montpellier quarter, 1 Parliament St, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, UK, HG1 2QU. Photographed on 12 August 2023. We're a world-famous Tea Rooms in Yorkshire, England, sending parcels of pure spirit-lifting deliciousness from our Craft Bakery to homes across the world. Bettys has traded in Yorkshire since Swiss confectioner Frederick Belmont opened the first Bettys café in Harrogate in 1919. The Parliament Street tea room became one of the town's best-known hospitality landmarks, combining bakery, confectionery, afternoon tea and a consciously traditional service style. Queues outside have become part of the visitor experience, reflecting both the strength of the brand and Harrogate's long-standing identity as a spa and tourism town. In historical terms, everyday food and drink sit within wider histories of farming, manufacturing, retail and hospitality
Ingredients and brands that appear ordinary at one moment can later become valuable markers of changing diets, packaging, provenance and food fashion. Looking at the subject's development, city-centre photography documents both designed space and informal use
Architecture, signage, traffic, public art and pedestrian movement together reveal how people experience a place, often providing a more useful record of urban change than landmark images alone. During 2026, current food coverage frequently combines lifestyle with questions of price, health, sourcing and environmental impact
Older packaging and products also provide valuable evidence of how branding, portioning and consumer expectations have changed. For the 2026 context, urban regeneration in England continues to focus on town-centre renewal, housing, public realm and reuse of vacant commercial property
Earlier street scenes provide valuable before-and-after evidence of these changes and of the businesses or structures lost along the way.

It all started when it was realised that Victoria Primary School in Newhaven on the northern outskirts of Edinburgh needed to expand and the decision was taken to build a new school.
Now we're almost three years down the line and the dream of converting the site containing the Victorian building into a brand new intergenerational centre for the whole community to enjoy, is nearing completion.
We've consulted with the community to find out what they want.
We've set up a SCIO, The Heart of Newhaven Community SCIO SCO49919 a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Constitution is here.
We have a board of trustees. We have members who will take the decisions moving into the future. See your board and consultants here.
We've passed the Community Asset Transfer test with Edinburgh City Council and been given permission to purchase the site. The Scottish Land fund have given us the Funds to buy the building.
NEWHAVEN IS A COMMUNITY WITH A HEART
Pulsating with energy is Victoria Primary School, full of children who in 2022 moved across Lindsay Road to a new site to pursue dreams for the future.
This iconic building and its annexe deserve be an asset for the whole community of Newhaven “young and old, long-time residents and those newly moved here: everybody who wants to have a place to enjoy activities that can't yet find a space in Newhaven.
Newhaven has a distinct identity.
Its rapidly increasing population and range of activities is crying out for a focal point to express our sense of community life, especially to help those in greatest need of care and well-being.
The Heart of Newhaven was chosen as a name for the proposed centre, and the campaign to keep this building for the community, because:
it is in the centre of 'Greater Newhaven' (old and new combined)
because a community space for everyone is what keeps the community heart in Newhaven for the future.

Such views are useful for travel and infrastructure coverage as well as for documenting how working waterfronts, passenger services and former industrial land change over time. The religious or ecclesiastical setting gives the photograph relevance to faith, worship, sacred architecture, stained glass, church heritage, tourism and the conservation of historic interiors and buildings. It can illustrate the continuing cultural role of churches and cathedrals as places of worship, community activity, music, remembrance and architectural interest.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K0KDGG - Penny Lane is a road in the south Liverpool suburb of Mossley Hill. The name also applies to the area surrounding its junction with Smithdown Road and Allerton Road, and to the roundabout at Smithdown Place that was the location for a major bus terminus, originally an important tram junction of Liverpool Corporation Tramways. The roundabout was a frequent stopping place for John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison during their years as schoolchildren and students. Bus journeys via Penny Lane and the area itself subsequently became familiar elements in the early years of the Lennon“McCartney songwriting partnership. In 2009, McCartney reflected:
Penny Lane was kind of nostalgic, but it was really [about] a place that John and I knew ... I'd get a bus to his house and I'd have to change at Penny Lane, or the same with him to me, so we often hung out at that terminus, like a roundabout. It was a place that we both knew, and so we both knew the things that turned up in the story.
Lennon's original lyrics for In My Life had included a reference to Penny Lane. Soon after the Beatles recorded In My Life in October 1965, McCartney mentioned to an interviewer that he wanted to write a song about Penny Lane. A year later, he was spurred to write the song once presented with Lennon's Strawberry Fields Forever. McCartney also cited Dylan Thomas's nostalgic poem Fern Hill as an inspiration for Penny Lane. Lennon co-wrote the lyrics with McCartney. He recalled in a 1970 interview: The bank was there, and that was where the trams sheds were and people waiting and the inspector stood there, the fire engines were down there. It was reliving childhood

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K0KX8B - Penny Lane is a song by the English rock band the Beatles that was released in February 1967 as a double A-side single with Strawberry Fields Forever. It was written primarily by Paul McCartney and credited to the Lennon“McCartney songwriting partnership. The lyrics refer to Penny Lane, a street in Liverpool, and make mention of the sights and characters that McCartney recalled from his upbringing in the city.
The Beatles began recording Penny Lane in December 1966, intending it as a song for their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Instead, after it was issued as a single to satisfy record company demand for a new release, the band adhered to their policy of omitting previously released singles from their albums. The song features numerous modulations that occur mid-verse and between its choruses. Session musician David Mason played a piccolo trumpet solo for its bridge section

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JH06KJ - Initiated by The Pete Shelley Memorial Campaign, the new 200msq mural sits at the heart of the late punk rocker's hometown.
Huge new mural of punk rock singer and guitarist Pete Shelley has appeared in Leigh, Greater Manchester
Created in tribute to the late punk rock icon, it sits in the heart of the community where he was born and grew up and still has family today.
Based on the cover of The Buzzcocks' 1978 single Ever Fallen In Love and a portrait of Shelley, created by artist Chris Gabrin in the same year, it's been designed by artists Malcolm Garrett and Akse P19.
The latter is well known in the city for his photo-realistic portraits of pop culture icons, and his work is often seen popping up in prime locations across Manchester.
Situated close to Leigh Town Hall and the historic Turnpike Centre, the new mural is Akse's biggest yet “ sitting smack bang in the heart of Leigh. Initiated by The Pete Shelley Memorial Campaign, it has taken over three years of fundraising in order to complete the project.
At a whopping 200 meters squared, it's not an easy one to miss if you're in the area and has taken around a week to complete “ with the finishing touches, including a final coat of protective varnish, being applied by the street artist this afternoon.
Whilst the artwork has been unfolding over the past week, locals have had some fun trying to guess who it might be “ with Akse posting a range of updates to his social media showing the piece at various stages of completion
Pete was always incredibly proud of his northern roots, and we hope that the mural will help Pete's legacy live on and inspire more young artists and musicians to break down barriers and follow their dreams

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ADR29R - . Manchester Love Locks,Oxford Road,bridge over canal,Manchester city centre, North West,England, UK. Photographed on 3 December 2019. The recorded location is 60 Oxford St, Manchester,England,UK, M1 5EE. Love locks in Manchester to get a special city centre location. Would you leave a love lock in Manchester? Plenty of people would apparently and council wants to make it a 'thing' for tourists to do when they visit. In historical terms, britain's canals were built principally in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to move coal, raw materials and manufactured goods cheaply between industrial districts, ports and growing towns
Locks, basins, towpaths and warehouses survive as engineering heritage even where freight has given way to leisure boating, walking and waterside regeneration. From a heritage perspective, town and city centres are continually rewritten by new buildings, transport schemes and changing commercial uses
Photographs preserve the everyday fabric between major landmarks, including underpasses, arcades, back streets and small businesses that may disappear during redevelopment. During 2026, britain's historic waterways continue to be important for recreation, tourism, biodiversity and industrial heritage, while ageing locks, embankments and bridges require continuing maintenance
Urban canal corridors are also increasingly used for walking, cycling and waterside regeneration. As of 2026, current regeneration programmes make older urban photographs particularly valuable
They allow comparison of high streets, underpasses, shopping areas and public spaces before redevelopment, while also documenting local identity that may not survive physical change. Relevant long-tail terms include inland waterway, navigation, lock chamber, lock gates, canal heritage, industrial transport, waterway engineering, canal restoration, industrial archaeology, walking route, cycling route, historic freight route, urban landscape, and town centre.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ADR29W - . Manchester Love Locks,Oxford Road,bridge over canal,Manchester city centre, North West,England, UK. Photographed on 3 December 2019. The recorded location is 60 Oxford St, Manchester,England,UK, M1 5EE. Love locks in Manchester to get a special city centre location. Would you leave a love lock in Manchester? Plenty of people would apparently and council wants to make it a 'thing' for tourists to do when they visit. Historically, working locks, bridges and canal-side buildings reveal the engineering system that underpinned industrial Britain
Many former commercial waterways have been restored for recreation and heritage use, creating a distinctive mixture of historic infrastructure, modern development and linear green space. In historical terms, urban street scenes capture the cumulative effect of planning, architecture, transport, retail and public space
Shopfronts, signs, street furniture and pedestrians can date an image precisely and show how a district changes between periods of investment, decline and regeneration. In 2026, today the canal network is valued as much for heritage, leisure, walking routes and wildlife as for navigation. the condition and funding of ageing waterway infrastructure remain recurring issues, adding contemporary relevance to images of locks, towpaths and historic canal engineering. During 2026, urban regeneration in England continues to focus on town-centre renewal, housing, public realm and reuse of vacant commercial property
Earlier street scenes provide valuable before-and-after evidence of these changes and of the businesses or structures lost along the way. In the longer view, canal infrastructure is a legacy of the Industrial Revolution, when navigable waterways linked mines, mills, factories and ports
The same lock chambers, bridges and towpaths now support leisure cruising, cycling, walking, wildlife corridors and redevelopment, while retaining evidence of their freight-carrying past.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02K4 - It is arguably the most divisive food-related debate: the question of whether pineapple is an appropriate pizza topping is a controversial one.
But are a few chunks of tangy pineapple on a pizza really so bad? It doesn't seem possible considering pineapple made it to the list of 10 most popular pizza toppings. (Although it only makes the ninth spot, just ahead of spinach.)
To get to the bottom of this debate and decide on a winning side once and for all, we reached out to pizza chefs across the US for their opinions on the appropriateness of pineapple. As the gatekeepers to pizza, we felt they must have a good grasp of what constitutes an acceptable pizza topping.
In a somewhat surprising turn of events, it seems that many pizza chefs, even the old-school Italian ones, have given in to the requests of the masses.
As it turns out, the customer is always right, as the saying goes, even when it comes irreverent requests such as pineapple on traditional pizza.

Chef Anthony Carron of 800 Degrees Pizzeria is one chef who has had to put his own beliefs aside in order to make his customers happy. Carron, who is adamant that he personally would never eat pineapple on a pizza, nor would any self-respecting Italian, has had to change his stubborn attitude towards pineapple on pizza. When he first opened 800 Degrees, he refused to carry it on principle, but it was literally the number one requested topping that we did not carry.

Finally relenting after a few years on behalf of their great customers, Carron now allows pineapple in his pizzeria, under one condition. Refusing to just serve garbage canned pineapple tidbits he instead buys whole, fresh Hawaiian gold pineapples, which are then peeled and diced by hand, tossed with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt, and roasted in their wood-burning ovens until they are caramelized, which actually sounds incredibly delicious.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGP31M - Amaryllis is the only genus in the subtribe Amaryllidinae (tribe Amaryllideae). It is a small genus of flowering bulbs, with two species. The better known of the two, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of the Western Cape region of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest area between the Olifants River Valley and Knysna.
For many years there was confusion among botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name 'amaryllis' is mainly used for cultivars of the genus Hippeastrum, widely sold in the winter months for their ability to bloom indoors.
Plants of the genus Amaryllis are known as belladonna lily, Jersey lily, naked lady, amarillo, Easter lily in Southern Australia or, in South Africa, March lily due to its propensity to flower around March. This is one of numerous genera with the common name 'lily' due to their flower shape and growth habit. However, they are only distantly related to the true lily, Lilium. In the Victorian language of flowers, amaryllis means love, beauty, and determination, and can also represent hope and achievement

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RMJ3B6 - Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus. Valentine's Day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country.
There are numerous martyrdom stories associated with various Valentines connected to February 14, including a written account of Saint Valentine of Rome's imprisonment for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and he wrote her a letter signed Your Valentine as a farewell before his execution.
The Feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 to be celebrated on February 14 in honour of the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine of Rome, who died on that date in AD 269. The day first became associated with romantic love within the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it grew into an occasion in which couples expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as valentines). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards. In Europe, Saint Valentine's Keys are given to lovers as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver's heart, as well as to children to ward off epilepsy (called Saint Valentine's Malady).
Saint Valentine's Day is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion and the Lutheran Church.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A4PJJX - Ross Sinclair is an artist, writer and musician who is Professor of Contemporary Art Practice within the School of Fine Art at The Glasgow School of Art. He is best known for his ˜Real Life' research project initiated when he had the words REAL LIFE tattooed in black ink across his back, at Terry's Tattoo parlour in Glasgow, 1994.
Sinclair completed a PhD by Published Work in 2016 where he interrogated and articulated the innovative nature of the Real Life project, unusual in its scale and duration, defining the contribution to contemporary art practice across the fields of sculpture, painting, performance, installation, critical writing and music. Drawing on these multi-disciplinary methodologies Sinclair maps out the forms, materials and processes activated over almost 25 Years of Real Life Projects, that often combine unusual and unorthodox approaches challenging conventional modes of exhibition practice, enabling new means of engagement with the viewer. The multi part thesis submitted claims these routes as an autonomous, artist initiated project, connecting with the public at a dynamic intersection of ideas, context, performance and art-practice.
Sinclair's Real Life Project is set in a critical framework of contested paradigms of Everyday Life and The Real and acknowledges the influence of key critical thinkers over the quarter century of its development from Barthes, Baudrillard and De Certeau, through Bourriaud, Bishop and Kester and more recently in Harman, Mark Fisher and Paul O'Neill amongst many others. The project has been punctuated by the exploration of individual and collective relationships with Real Life particularly viewed through contemporary paradigms constructing society such as: Democracy, Utopia, Justice, Capitalism, Geography and History, the Church, the Bank, the State, while in parallel addressing the role of the tattooed artist himself.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYX3M - . Two lovers eye each other on a dutch plate inscribed Love Conquers All from Waddesdon Manor , Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire UK. Photographed on 8 August 2013. The recorded location is Waddesdon Manor, Bicester Rd, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England , UK HP18 0JH. Waddesdon Manor was built from 1874 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in the style of a French Renaissance château and is now managed by the National Trust on behalf of the Rothschild Foundation. Its collections bring together French decorative arts, furniture, clocks, ceramics, paintings, textiles and sculpture assembled through the Rothschild family's collecting networks. Close-up photographs of individual objects therefore sit within a broader story of nineteenth-century wealth, collecting and European craftsmanship. From a heritage perspective, images of parents, children and couples combine personal emotion with wider social context
They can illustrate care, intergenerational relationships, childhood and companionship while also documenting the environment in which those interactions take place. The historical context is that signs and notices are ephemeral pieces of design that can become important historical evidence
Lettering, logos, warnings and directions record former businesses, regulations, transport systems and public messages that may disappear long before the surrounding building changes. As of 2026, family and community imagery remains widely used for coverage of childcare, public services, wellbeing, intergenerational relationships and everyday life, particularly when the scene includes identifiable civic or leisure settings. The subject remains topical in 2026 because digital wayfinding is widespread, but physical signage continues to be essential for safety, accessibility and identity
Historic notices and ghost signs are also increasingly appreciated as part of the character of streets and buildings.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DB0FWK - The adult shop, seedy place to buy magazines, sex toys and DVDs
A sex shop or erotic shop is a shop that sells products related to adult sexual or erotic entertainment, such as vibrators, lingerie, clothing, pornography, and other related products. The world's first sex shop was opened in 1962 by Beate Uhse AG in Flensburg, West Germany, and sex shops can now be found in many countries. Many sex shops also trade over the internet. Sex shops are part of the sex industry.
In most jurisdictions, sex shops are regulated by law, with access not permitted to minors, the age depending on local law. Some jurisdictions prohibit sex shops and the merchandise they sell. In some jurisdictions that permit it, they may also show pornographic movies in private video booths, or have private striptease or peep shows. Also an adult movie theater may be attached.
Near borders of countries with different laws regarding sex shops, shops on the more liberal side tend to be popular with customers from the other side, especially if importing the purchased materials by customers to their own country, and possessing them, is legal or tolerated

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A cracking track, memorable to me because I was playing this getting carried away doing 38 in a 30mph cut through Hattersley avoiding Mottram one morning in 1984. The metallic green VW Golf 1300 has long gone, but my love for the Furs and this track remains un-dimmed.
Mirror Moves is the fourth studio album by the English rock band The Psychedelic Furs, recorded and released in 1984. Vince Ely had left the group, leaving three original Furs and Keith Forsey taking on production and drumming. The album included the dance hit 'Heartbeat' and the minor hits 'Heaven' and 'The Ghost in You'. Another track from the album, 'Here Come Cowboys', was released as a single, but did not chart. However, the band made a video for it which received some airplay on the then, very new and popular MTV network.
Psychedelic Furs are one of the many acts spawned from the British post-punk scene. Their music went through several phases, from an initially austere art rock sound, later touching on new wave and hard rock.
They scored several hits in their early career, but were launched to international attention in 1986 when the film director John Hughes used their song 'Pretty in Pink' for his movie of the same name. A newly recorded version of the song became the Psychedlic Furs' biggest hit to that time. 'Heartbreak Beat', from their 1987 album Midnight to Midnight, was the Furs' biggest Top 40 entry in the US.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HWJ9 - . Shout Gouranga meet the Hare Krishna's in The High St Edinburgh, Scotland, August festival time. Photographed on 22 August 2012. The recorded location is High street, Edinburgh Old Town, Lothian, Scotland UK EH1 1QS. The wider historical story is that monochrome, sepia, selective-colour and infrared treatments belong to a long tradition of photographers using tonal interpretation rather than literal colour
Infrared records wavelengths beyond normal vision, while black-and-white presentation emphasises form, contrast, texture and light. From a heritage perspective, town and city centres are continually rewritten by new buildings, transport schemes and changing commercial uses
Photographs preserve the everyday fabric between major landmarks, including underpasses, arcades, back streets and small businesses that may disappear during redevelopment. In the present 2026 context, these effects can be produced digitally with ease, but their usefulness still depends on the underlying subject and the visual information retained
Older examples also document the aesthetics of an era when strong selective colour and infrared processing were especially popular in creative digital photography. As of 2026, current regeneration programmes make older urban photographs particularly valuable
They allow comparison of high streets, underpasses, shopping areas and public spaces before redevelopment, while also documenting local identity that may not survive physical change. Looking at the subject's development, alternative photographic processes can make familiar subjects appear unfamiliar
Black-and-white and sepia evoke older photographic traditions, selective colour isolates a chosen detail, and infrared can render foliage and skies with striking tonal separation. Relevant long-tail terms include black and white, infrared photography, creative photography, tonal contrast, high contrast, fine art photography, photographic technique, image treatment, and visual style.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CFEFH8 - . Love Will Win - Inner City Manchester Graffiti New Wakefield street under railway arches, England, UK, M1. Photographed on 10 March 2012. The recorded location is New Wakefield street, Manchester, Lancashire, England, UK / Great Britain. From a heritage perspective, british agriculture has repeatedly adapted to mechanisation, changing markets and environmental policy
Tractors, fields, cereal crops and allotment vegetables each represent different scales of food production, while also documenting seasonal work and rural landscapes. Looking at the subject's development, art in public and historic settings adds another layer to the built environment
Sculpture, mosaic, painting and street art can interpret heritage, provoke debate, memorialise communities or create landmarks, and photographs preserve works that may later change or disappear. In the longer view, britain's railways reshaped towns, industry and passenger travel from the nineteenth century onwards, creating a dense network of stations, goods yards, signalling infrastructure and long-distance routes
Surviving buildings, signs and operating equipment now document both railway heritage and continuing public transport. As of 2026, current agricultural debate combines food production with environmental land management, biodiversity and climate adaptation
Photographs of crops and cultivation therefore have both traditional rural and contemporary sustainability relevance. For the 2026 context, public art and murals remain important to place-making, tourism and regeneration, particularly in city districts where street art has become part of the visitor economy
They also raise questions about conservation, ownership, temporary work and the rapid redevelopment of urban neighbourhoods. Useful alternative terminology includes farming, horticulture, grow your own, arable farming, vegetable growing, rural economy, farmland, sustainable agriculture, food security, seasonal crop, and artwork.

Holding hands is something we enjoy doing with our children and lovers. In some cultures, Arab countries, Africa and some parts of Asia it is done also by men and/or boys for friendship and/or a sign of respect.
The custom of men holding hands can cause discomfort in societies unused to it, as it did with Americans, when, in 2005, then Crown prince Abdullah of Saudi Arabia held hands in public with then American president George W Bush.
Archaeological ruins and ancient texts show that handshaking was practiced in ancient Greece as far back as the 5th century BC
a depiction of two soldiers shaking hands can be found on part of a 5th century BC funerary stele on display in the Pergamon Museum, Berlin.
Other funerary steles like the one of the 4th century BC which depicts Thraseas and his wife Euandria handshaking (see images on the right). Some researchers have suggested the handshake may have been introduced in the Western World by Sir Walter Raleigh in service with the British Court during the late 16th century.
The handshake is thought by some to have originated as a gesture of peace by demonstrating that the hand holds no weapon.
The Beatles need no introduction, if this is your first brush with them, please email me and let me know.

Breaking up is hard to do. Champagne &
Roses becomes four letter words and deceit. Hey, we have all been there....
The Secret Machines are a three-piece American alternative rock band. Originally from Dallas, Texas before moving to New York City, they describe their band as space rock. The original lineup consisted of two brothers, Brandon and Benjamin Curtis, and Josh Garza. In March 2007, Benjamin left the band, and was replaced by Phil Karnats.
In 2004, The Secret Machines released their first full length CD - Now Here Is Nowhere. Their second EP, The Road Leads Where It's Led, was released on 7 June 2005. The song 'Nowhere Again', from the their debut album, was used in promotional spots for American during its launch, and appeared in the 2006 videogame Driver: Parallel Lines.
Ten Silver Drops, their second album, leaked onto file sharing websites following the release of this excellent single 'Alone, Jealous and Stoned' in the UK. The album once again did not sell well but saw some favorable reviews. Benjamin Curtis left the band on March 3, 2007 to focus full time on his new band, School of Seven Bells.
The Secret Machines have three tracks on the soundtrack for the 2007 film Across the Universe, which highlights the music of the Beatles, set to the story of a handful of characters living out the songs. They perform 'I Am the Walrus' with Bono singing

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A frequent visitor, but not a daily commuter on the London Underground thankfully, I often get the feeling I could be on an elaborate film set.
London's underground railway system, known as the Tube, has featured in several films. The plot of the 1998 film Sliding Doors hinges on whether Gwynneth Paltrow's character catches a particular Tube train or not. Bulldog Jack (1934), Manhunt (1941), The Good Die Young (1954), and 28 Weeks Later (2007) all include chase sequences across underground tracks.
A number of horror films have also used the subterranean network of tunnels as an atmospheric location, most notably the John Landis hit An American Werewolf in London (1981), which contains a famous scene set in Tottenham Court Road tube station, and the 2004 film Creep. The eerie 1973 horror Death Line stars Donald Pleasence as a Scotland Yard detective who traces a series of murders to cannibals living in the network's tunnels.
Excavations on the Underground unearthed an ancient alien spacecraft in Quatermass and the Pit (1967), and dormant dragons in Reign of Fire (2002).
The 2002 James Bond film Die Another Day features a secret MI6 facility in a fictional disused Underground Station called Vauxhall Cross. Another fictional station, Hobbs End features in the 1967 science fiction film Quatermass and the Pit. Shaun of the Dead features the fictional Crouch End station.
London Lady is the 3rd track on side one of Rattus Norvegicus (alternative title The Stranglers IV) is the first studio album by The Stranglers, released on 17 April 1977. The album was originally to be entitled 'Dead on Arrival' but was changed at the last minute. It was one of the highest-selling albums of the punk era in Britain, eventually achieving platinum record sales.
The album's title is the taxonomic name for the common brown rat. It was produced in one week by Martin Rushent, and was basically a snapshot of the band's live set at the time.
The first 20,000 copies of the original vinyl release included a free 7' single, containing 'Peasant in the Big Shitty (live)' and 'Choosie Susie'. I have a copy in my loft. Two singles were taken from the album: 'Grip', and 'Peaches' (released as a double A-side with the non-album track 'Go Buddy Go'), which gave the band their first major hit single, reaching No.8 on the UK chart.A remastered version of the album was reissued on CD in 2001, including these three additional tracks.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF7D94 - . Panorama of Euston tube Station, Euston Square, Camden, London, UK. Photographed on 30 September 2010. From a heritage perspective, britain's railways reshaped towns, industry and passenger travel from the nineteenth century onwards, creating a dense network of stations, goods yards, signalling infrastructure and long-distance routes
Surviving structures, signs and operating equipment now document both railway heritage and continuing public transport. The historical context is that town and city centres are continually rewritten by new buildings, transport schemes and changing commercial uses
Photographs preserve the everyday fabric between major landmarks, including underpasses, arcades, back streets and small businesses that may disappear during redevelopment. In historical terms, seasonal and low-light photography can emphasise the relationship between natural conditions and the built environment
Dusk, snow, mist or dramatic cloud often reveal lighting, silhouettes and reflective surfaces that are less apparent in ordinary daylight. As of 2026, rail policy is especially topical: the Railways Bill is progressing through Parliament and is intended to establish Great British Railways as the publicly owned directing mind for track, stations, timetables and passenger services
Older branded trains and station scenes therefore gain additional documentary value during another major restructuring of the industry. The subject remains topical in 2026 because current regeneration programmes make older urban photographs particularly useful
They allow comparison of high streets, underpasses, shopping areas and public spaces before redevelopment, while also documenting local identity that may not survive physical change. Against the 2026 backdrop, current interest in climate and place-making gives atmospheric landscape images added documentary value, particularly where weather, coastlines or urban development are prominent.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HF2W - . An adult holding his babies hand for the first time. Photographed on 4 September 2010. The recorded location is England. From a heritage perspective, human-interest photographs record gestures and relationships that sit outside formal institutions: family care, childhood, friendship and affection
Small interactions such as holding hands can communicate age, dependence and connection without requiring a staged portrait. Historically, alternative photographic processes can make familiar subjects appear unfamiliar
Black-and-white and sepia evoke older photographic traditions, selective colour isolates a chosen detail, and infrared can render foliage and skies with striking tonal separation. As of 2026, family and community imagery remains widely used for coverage of childcare, public services, wellbeing, intergenerational relationships and everyday life, particularly when the scene includes identifiable civic or leisure settings. In 2026, these effects can be produced digitally with ease, but their usefulness still depends on the underlying subject and the visual information retained
Older examples also document the aesthetics of an era when strong selective colour and infrared processing were especially popular in creative digital photography. As background, everyday family scenes provide a social-story.htm Target=_Blank>history record of relationships, clothing and public behaviour
They can be especially useful when the setting or activity changes over time, such as libraries, playgrounds, streets or travel. The wider historical story is that images of parents, children and couples combine personal emotion with wider social context
They can illustrate care, intergenerational relationships, childhood and companionship while also documenting the environment in which those interactions take place. Relevant long-tail terms include parent and child, human interest, parenthood, community life, family bond, public space, social history, black and white, and monochrome.

I must have passed this on Orford road coming into Padgate, Warrington Cheshire a few dozen times. To stop at the traffic lights makes you consider these four words a little more deeply. Next time you wait there to follow the A50 or to go to Birchwood following the A574, consider these words.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEY8YH - . Marie, a Victorian gravestone, St John's Parish Church in Church Hill, Knutsford , Cheshire, England, UK, WA16 6DH. Photographed on 6 July 2009. The wider historical story is that ecclesiastical structures are both active places of worship and repositories of community history
Architectural details, memorials and churchyard monuments provide evidence for religious practice, craftsmanship, community identity, genealogy and the changing use of sacred space. From a heritage perspective, memorials and inscriptions are primary sources for local and family history, preserving names, dates, occupations, military service and the language of remembrance
They range from private graves to civic monuments and can reveal how communities chose to commemorate loss in different periods. The wider historical story is that buildings are often the most durable evidence of former institutions and businesses
Stonework, brickwork, windows, signs and decorative details can survive changes of ownership and use, allowing photographs to document both architectural style and the evolution of a street. In the present 2026 context, historic places of worship remain important not only for faith but also for conservation, tourism, music, community use and community identity
Their maintenance illustrates the continuing challenge of caring for ageing heritage structures while keeping them accessible and relevant. As of 2026, interest in local history, genealogy and the conservation of memorials remains strong, while weathering, redevelopment and vandalism can threaten smaller monuments and inscriptions
Detailed images help preserve lettering, names and physical condition before further weathering or alteration. In the present 2026 context, memorials continue to play an active role in public history, supporting remembrance, genealogy, education and heritage tourism
Images can also record inscriptions before erosion or redevelopment alters the physical object.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JYTBJ5 - . Photographed at Victoria St, Manchester,England, UK,M3 1SX in 2022, this detailed documentary image records the subject within its real surroundings and preserves a specific stage in the life of the location. At the centre of the view is The Glade Of Light memorial, commemorates the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing of 2017 - Victoria St, Manchester,England, UK,M3 1SX. The setting additionally reflects memorial culture, public realm, place identity, heritage-led regeneration, historical comparison, regional identity, public-realm investment, local character, public memorial, mixed-use redevelopment, period detail, place-making, commercial redevelopment, and town-centre renewal. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into place identity and cultural memory, not least because of how small memorials preserve personal stories within everyday public space. Today's relevance is strengthened by town-centre regeneration, commercial viability and the continuing question of how regeneration tries to create reasons to visit traditional town centres. The image fixes landscape treatment and surrounding development within Victoria St, Manchester,England, UK,M3 1SX at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against altered transport patterns. The location also brings in documentary photography, social-history memorial, memorial inscription, community identity, community memory, changing land use, adaptive reuse, and urban regeneration. The recorded references to bombing, Light, Manchester, Arena, and Victoria preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. Around Victoria St, Manchester,England, UK,M3 1SX, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. The scene captures details of everyday use as a date-specific reference. The period view preserves evidence of changing use for later comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A4PJJP - Ross Sinclair is an artist, writer and musician who is Professor of Contemporary Art Practice within the School of Fine Art at The Glasgow School of Art. He is best known for his ˜Real Life' research project initiated when he had the words REAL LIFE tattooed in black ink across his back, at Terry's Tattoo parlour in Glasgow, 1994.
Sinclair completed a PhD by Published Work in 2016 where he interrogated and articulated the innovative nature of the Real Life project, unusual in its scale and duration, defining the contribution to contemporary art practice across the fields of sculpture, painting, performance, installation, critical writing and music. Drawing on these multi-disciplinary methodologies Sinclair maps out the forms, materials and processes activated over almost 25 Years of Real Life Projects, that often combine unusual and unorthodox approaches challenging conventional modes of exhibition practice, enabling new means of engagement with the viewer. The multi part thesis submitted claims these routes as an autonomous, artist initiated project, connecting with the public at a dynamic intersection of ideas, context, performance and art-practice.
Sinclair's Real Life Project is set in a critical framework of contested paradigms of Everyday Life and The Real and acknowledges the influence of key critical thinkers over the quarter century of its development from Barthes, Baudrillard and De Certeau, through Bourriaud, Bishop and Kester and more recently in Harman, Mark Fisher and Paul O'Neill amongst many others. The project has been punctuated by the exploration of individual and collective relationships with Real Life particularly viewed through contemporary paradigms constructing society such as: Democracy, Utopia, Justice, Capitalism, Geography and History, the Church, the Bank, the State, while in parallel addressing the role of the tattooed artist himself.

Seasonal images like this can work for travel, shopping, hospitality, energy use, household celebration, public events and wider stories about how towns and cities create atmosphere during darker months. The supplied workbook does not give a precise location, so the image should be treated as a concept or documentary subject unless the location can be verified separately. The image is strongly seasonal, with winter or Christmas context visible or implied by the caption. It should work for editorial buyers needing authentic, non-staged British or travel imagery for news, magazine, blog, local government, heritage, housing, transport, tourism, retail, public policy or social commentary use. The caption should be checked against the visible photograph before upload so that any readable signs, weather, time of day and people context are accurately reflected without overstating facts not shown in the image. The strongest sales value is the combination of named subject, real location and everyday documentary style, giving picture editors a flexible image that can sit alongside features, opinion pieces, explainers, historical retrospectives and local news. Search relevance is helped by including concise place names, visible brand or wording, functional subject terms, and wider editorial concepts such as public realm, consumer behaviour, heritage, travel, leisure and community life where they genuinely match the picture.
