Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6CX - The exterior of The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum, photographed on Albert Square in Dundee city centre, Dundee DD1 1DA. The imposing building, constructed in the Victorian Gothic Revival style, features symmetrical stone fa??ades, arched windows, decorative staircases and a central spire, reflecting the civic ambition of nineteenth-century Dundee.
Originally opened in 1867 as a memorial to Prince Albert, the building later became the city's principal museum and art gallery. Today, The McManus houses collections covering fine art, local and national history, archaeology, natural history and decorative arts, making it a key cultural and educational institution in eastern Scotland.
The museum's prominent position facing Albert Square places it at the heart of Dundee's civic life, surrounded by historic buildings, green spaces and pedestrian routes. Its architecture was designed not only to impress but to communicate the importance of public learning, philanthropy and cultural enrichment during a period when Dundee was a rapidly expanding industrial city.
The McManus continues to play a central role in Dundee's cultural identity, linking the city's industrial past with contemporary artistic and historical interpretation. Photographed in daylight under a bright sky, the image highlights the building's architectural detail and formal symmetry, offering strong editorial value for themes including Scottish heritage, museums and education, civic architecture, cultural tourism and the role of public institutions in urban identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6DC - A bronze statue of Oor Wullie, photographed in Albert Square outside The McManus: Dundee's Art Gallery & Museum, Dundee DD1 1DA. The sculpture shows the mischievous character seated casually, capturing the humour, cheekiness and working-class spirit for which Oor Wullie is widely known.
Oor Wullie first appeared in 1936 in The Sunday Post and quickly became one of Scotland's most enduring and recognisable comic characters. Created and published by DC Thomson in Dundee, the strip offered gentle social commentary on Scottish life, often reflecting everyday experiences, childhood mischief and community values. Alongside characters such as Desperate Dan and Minnie the Minx, Oor Wullie occupies a central place in Britain's comic and publishing history.
The statue forms part of Dundee's wider celebration of its comics and creative-industries heritage, embedding cultural storytelling directly into the city's public realm. Positioned in a prominent civic space near a major museum, the sculpture connects popular culture with formal cultural institutions, reinforcing Dundee's identity as a city shaped by publishing, humour and creativity.
Public artworks like this play a role in expressing Scottish national identity, using familiar characters to evoke nostalgia, accessibility and shared cultural memory. Photographed in daylight with historic stone architecture visible in the background, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including Scottish culture, national icons, comics history, creative industries and the use of public art to express place and identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6CF - A life-sized bronze memorial statue outside Avon Fire & Rescue Service at Temple Back East, Bristol BS1 6EU, depicting a bare-headed firefighter holding his helmet and standing on a stone plinth. The sculpture serves as a poignant tribute to firefighters who have lost their lives while serving their communities.
Positioned in front of the Avon Fire & Rescue Service building near Temple, the memorial presents the firefighter not in action but in a moment of reflection, emphasising humanity, vulnerability and sacrifice rather than heroics alone. The figure's detailed uniform and equipment symbolise the everyday risks faced by firefighters in the course of their duties.
Fire service memorials such as this play an important role in preserving institutional memory and acknowledging the dangers inherent in emergency response work. They are also spaces for public reflection, remembrance and respect, recognising both historic and contemporary loss. The memorial is understood to honour firefighters who died in service, including those lost during periods of national conflict such as the World Wars, when fire brigades faced additional dangers from bombing and civil defence duties.
Located within a modern urban setting close to Bristol's transport and civic infrastructure, the statue connects past and present service, reminding passers-by of the enduring role of emergency workers in public safety. Photographed in daylight with the Avon Fire & Rescue Service signage visible, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including remembrance, emergency services history, public service sacrifice, civic memorials and urban commemoration in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6C0 - The engraved stone signage of Cork Savings Bank, photographed on the historic South Mall in Cork City, County Cork, Ireland (postal district T12). The image shows the bank's name set into the building's fa??ade above decorative wrought-iron railings, emphasising craftsmanship and permanence typical of nineteenth-century financial architecture.
Savings banks played a significant role in Irish social and economic history, promoting thrift and financial inclusion among working communities during a period of rapid urban and commercial growth. Cork Savings Bank was part of this wider movement, reflecting the city's importance as a regional centre of trade, shipping and finance in southern Ireland.
South Mall has long been associated with banking, commerce and professional services, forming one of Cork's most prestigious historic streets. Buildings along the Mall were designed to convey stability, trust and civic responsibility, values that were central to public confidence in financial institutions before the modern era of digital banking.
The architectural detailing visible in the image ? carved stonework, restrained classical proportions and ornamental ironwork ? reflects Victorian and Edwardian influences common to bank buildings of the period. Today, such structures contribute to Cork's historic streetscape and remain important markers of the city's commercial heritage.
Photographed in daylight with architectural textures clearly visible, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including Irish banking history, financial institutions, heritage architecture, urban commercial development and the preservation of historic city centres. It is suitable for use in history publications, financial commentary, education, and cultural or architectural features relating to Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R6AHYR - The Hillsborough Monument Memorial - Sculptor's Notes more at https://liverpoolsculptures.co.uk/the-hillsborough-monument-memorial/
The Hillsborough monument was comissioned by the Hillsborough Justice Campaign and sculpted by Tom Murphy.
Background: A young girl asked her Father, where is the Hillsborough Memorial? She was told: ?There is one in Anfield.' She said: ?Why can't we have one in the city centre for everyone to see.' This simple question was the catalyst for this monument
The monument is circular with a raised design in low relief. The imagery shows an imaginary place,which is meant to guide our thoughts of remembrance and all that has happened since the tragedy
The people depicted in the design are ?the guardians of the memory', or ?people like us' Their purpose is symbolic and other figures represent justice, hope and loss. The setting is a beautiful and quiet place, which may help us to think about the characters and individual personalities of those who died. The people who passed away are represented by the birds who fly freely throughout the work.
We reflect and empathise with those who died while considering the people they were, and might have been, were it not for the disaster
Description of the raised relief on the maquette
The design begins with two large tablets that list the names those who died. A dedication and information plaque is situated between the tablets of names with a poem, written especially for the moument, by David Charters (journalist and author). Immediately above the central dedication is a wreath of spring flowers. This reminds us of the season and number of victims who died. A Liver Bird stands guard. Below the information plaque is a rail of football scarves from differing clubs signifying the way football fans responded nationally in the days after the disaster. Around the top rim of the monument is the proclamation: ?HILLSBOROUGH DISASTER. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M4MR0K - Kent is a county in South East England and one of the home counties. It borders Greater London to the north-west, Surrey to the west and East Sussex to the south-west, and Essex to the north across the estuary of the River Thames
it faces the French department of Pas-de-Calais across the Strait of Dover. The county town is Maidstone. It is the fifth most populous county in England, the most populous non-Metropolitan county and the most populous of the home counties.
Kent was one of the first British territories to be settled by Germanic tribes, most notably the Jutes, following the withdrawal of the Romans. Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, the oldest cathedral in England, has been the seat of the Archbishops of Canterbury since the conversion of England to Christianity that began in the 6th century with Saint Augustine. Rochester Cathedral in Medway is England's second-oldest cathedral. Located between London and the Strait of Dover, which separates England from mainland Europe, Kent has been the setting for both conflict and diplomacy, including the Battle of Britain in World War II and the Leeds Castle peace talks of 1978 and 2004.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M4MR0N - Francis Matcham (22 November 1854 ? 17 May 1920) was an English architect who specialised in the design of theatres and music halls. He worked extensively in London, predominantly under Moss Empires, for whom he designed the Hippodrome in 1900, Hackney Empire (1901), Coliseum (1903) and Palladium (1910). His last major commission before retirement was the Victoria Palace (1911) for the variety magnate Alfred Butt. During his 40-year career, Matcham was responsible for the design and construction of over 90 theatres and the redesign and refurbishment of a further 80 throughout the United Kingdom
Matcham was born in Newton Abbot, Devon, where he became apprenticed at the age of 14 to the architect George Soudon Bridgman. Matcham moved to London, aged 21, where he joined the architectural practice of J. T. Robinson, who was to become his father-in-law. Under Robinson, Matcham completed his first solo design, the Elephant and Castle Theatre, which opened in June 1879. He took over the business on Robinson's death and continued the designs of various provincial theatres. He formed his own practice, Matcham & Co., in the 1880s and enlisted skilled craftsmen. His first major association came in the 1880s when he was employed to design and refurbish theatres belonging to the Revill family who owned many of the theatres throughout the United Kingdom.
Matcham's most successful period was between 1892 and 1912 when he worked extensively for Moss Empires, a theatre building business headed by Edward Moss and run by Oswald Stoll. Under them, Matcham completed 21 theatres, including three in London, with the rest being in the provinces. Also during this period, although not with Moss Empires, he completed the designs for the Tower Ballroom at Blackpool Tower, Grand Theatre, Blackpool and the Theatre Royal, Norwich, all in 1894, and the County Arcade, Leeds, in 1900.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K7NBHP - In late 1994, a number of people began to show symptoms of a neurological disease similar to CJD, a fatal disorder that occurs naturally in a small percentage of people, though usually only later in life. This new form of the disease would go on to be identified as variant CJD (vCJD), occurring primarily in younger people and caused through eating BSE-infected meat. The first known death from vCJD occurred on 21 May 1995, when the 19-year old Stephen Churchill died although the UK government continued to emphasise the safety of British beef and, in September 1995, concluded that there was 'insufficient evidence' to link BSE and vCJD. It was not until 20 March 1996 that Stephen Dorrell, the Secretary of State for Health announced that vCJD was caused by eating BSE-infected meat.
177 people (as of June 2014) would go on to contract and die of the disease.
Regulations and bans of British beef
When BSE was identified, the United States banned the importation of British cattle in 1989, and 499 cows who had been recently imported from the United Kingdom were killed. The United States slaughtered an additional 116 British cows in 1996.
Between December 1997 and November 1999, the British government banned the sale of beef on the bone.
A week after Dorrell's announcement, on 27 March 1996, the European Union (EU) imposed a worldwide ban on exports of British beef. The ban would go on to last for 10 years before it was finally lifted on 1 May 2006, although restrictions remained on British beef containing vertebral material and beef sold on the bone. The ban, which led to much controversy in Parliament and to the incineration of over one million cattle from at least March 1996, resulted in trade controversies between the UK and other EU states, dubbed a Beef War by media. France continued to impose a ban on British beef illegally long after the European Court of Justice had ordered it to lift its blockade, although it has never paid any fine for doing so.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K7NBHY - The National Covid Memorial Wall in London is a public mural painted by volunteers to commemorate victims of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom. Started in March 2021 and stretching more than one-third mile (five hundred metres) along the South Bank of the River Thames, opposite the Palace of Westminster, the mural consists of approximately 150,000 red and pink hearts, intending to have one for each of the casualties of COVID-19 in the United Kingdom at the time of the mural's commencement. The intent was for each heart to be individually hand-painted
utterly unique, just like the loved ones we've lost
The mural was organized by campaign group Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice, with the help of the campaign group Led By Donkeys. Volunteers cleaned the wall and removed graffiti before hand-painting approximately 150,000 red hearts over 10 days from 29 March 2021. Bereaved families filled these hearts with names of lost loved ones and messages, with more continued to be added over the subsequent months. Through the project was started without council permission, it gained widespread support and public recognition so has not yet been removed by authorities. As the text faded, volunteers have also traced over writing with permanent black marker pen to ensure their longevity.
The mural stretches more than one-third mile (five hundred metres) along the South Bank of the River Thames from Westminster Bridge to Lambeth Bridge, opposite the Palace of Westminster. Being outside of St Thomas' Hospital, it also encompasses an older plaque dedicated to the 1994-6 human BSE outbreak.
On 29 March 2021, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer visited the mural, which he described as a remarkable memorial, before calling on Boris Johnson to visit the mural personally and engage with the families of the deceased. Johnson later visited the wall for quiet reflection and was criticised by the co-founder of the group, who said that the visit, was a sham

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3J770 - St Thomas' Church is in Stockton Heath, to the south of Warrington, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, and is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth
The present church was built in 1868 on the site of a former church that had been erected in 1838. It was designed by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley, the main benefactor being Sir Gilbert Greenall. The tower was added later although a full set of bells were not installed until 2016. The current ring of 10 bells consists of 8 bells donated from St. John the Baptist, Bollington supplemented with two new trebles cast by John Taylor & Co. A campaign to keep a tolling bell dating from 1883 dedicated to the wife of John Crosfield (son of Joseph Crosfield) took place in an attempt to retain the bell locally
It is constructed in pinkish-red sandstone with Westmorland slate roofs. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with a south aisle under a parallel ridged roof, a south porch, a north transept, a north vestry, a two-bay chancel and a west tower. The tower is in four stages with an octagonal southeast turret and an embattled parapet.
The chancel is decorated with richly coloured patterned tilework and the reredos is of marble and embossed patterned tiles. The organ was built around 1880 by Young and Sons and rebuilt in 1963 by Rushworth and Dreaper of Liverpool

Of a banner taking its place in the world

A parcel of thinking softly untying
Or an origami of ideas hugely unfolding
As, caught by the breeze, image and language
Spread their twin messages into the air.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JP0KA7 - John Charles Ryle (10 May 1816 ? 10 June 1900) was an English evangelical Anglican bishop. He was the first Anglican bishop of Liverpool.
He was the eldest son of John Ryle, private banker, of Park House, Macclesfield, M.P. for Macclesfield 1833?7, and Susanna, daughter of Charles Hurt of Wirksworth, Derbyshire. He was born at Macclesfield on 10 May 1816.
He was educated at Eton and the University of Oxford, where his career was unusually distinguished. He was Fell exhibitioner at Christ Church, from which foundation he matriculated on 15 May 1834. He was Craven scholar in 1836, graduated B.A. in 1838, having been placed in the first-class in liter?? humaniores in the preceding year, and proceeded M.A. in 1871. He was created D.D. by diploma on 4 May 1880.
Ryle left the university with the intention of standing for parliament on the first opportunity, but was unable to do so because of his father's bankruptcy. He took holy orders (1841?42) and became curate at Exbury, Hampshire. In 1843, he was preferred to the rectory of St Thomas, Winchester, which he exchanged in the following year for that of Helmingham, Suffolk. The latter living he retained until 1861, when he resigned it for the vicarage of Stradbroke in the same county. The restoration of Stradbroke church was due to his initiative. In 1869, he was made rural dean of Hoxne, and in 1872 honorary canon of Norwich. He was select preacher at Cambridge in 1873 and the following year, and at Oxford from 1874 to 1876, and in 1879 and the following year. In 1880, he was designated dean of Salisbury, and at once, 19 April, advanced to the newly created see of Liverpool, which he ably administered until his death at Lowestoft on 10 June 1900. He is buried at All Saints Church, Childwall, Liverpool

These pianos provide passerbys a chance to relax and take a break from a hectic pace of life. Seeking out these pianos can be difficult, because the pianos are relatively rare and their locations mostly unknown. This website, pianos.pub, attempts to catalog all locations of all known public pianos to facilitate access to anyone and everyone.
Where did the idea come from?
Public instruments have been available for hundreds of years. The idea of a street piano was popularized in the early part of this millenium. The idea started to take off in 2013 when revolutionized by organizations to promote public pianos in parks and plazas, most notably the Play Me, I'm Your's campaign initiated by British artist Luke Jerram in 2008. Since then, the number of piano sightings has increased steadily every year, often peaking during the summer time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M108AP - In London, the Greyfriars was a Conventual Franciscan friary that existed from 1225 to 1538 on a site at the North-West of the City of London by Newgate in the parish of St Nicholas in the Shambles. It was the second Franciscan religious house to be founded in the country. The establishment included a conventual church that was one of the largest in London
a studium or regional university
and an extensive library of logical and theological texts. It was an important intellectual centre in the early fourteenth century, rivalled only by Oxford University in status. Members of the community at that time included William of Ockham, Walter Chatton and Adam Wodeham. It flourished in the fourteenth and fifteenth century but was dissolved in 1538 at the instigation of Henry VIII as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Christ's Hospital was founded in the old conventual buildings, and the church was rebuilt completely by Sir Christopher Wren as Christ Church Greyfriars after the original church was almost completely destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666. The building now standing on the site, designed by Arup Group Limited, is currently occupied by Merrill Lynch.
It was named after the friars' practice of wearing grey habits.

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

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3T3CD - Viola Beach were an English indie rock group, formed in Warrington, Cheshire, in 2013. The band's final line-up consisted of Kris Leonard (guitar and vocals), River Reeves (guitar), Tomas Lowe (bass guitar), and Jack Dakin (drums). All four, along with their manager Craig Tarry, were killed when their car fell from a bridge in S??dert??lje, Sweden, on 13 February 2016. Founding members Frankie Coulson and Jonny Gibson are the last surviving members of the band as of 2023.
In the week following the crash, their single Boys That Sing entered the UK Singles Chart at number 80 and their previous single Swings & Waterslides entered at number 11, following a public campaign to boost sales. In the same week, Swings & Waterslides also entered at number three on the sales-only chart (which excludes streaming data) and Boys That Sing entered at number 27 on the same chart. On 29 July 2016, the self-titled album was posthumously released. It reached number one on the UK Albums Chart on 5 August 2016

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A989TW - A Post-it Note (or sticky note) is a small piece of paper with a re-adherable strip of glue on its back, made for temporarily attaching notes to documents and other surfaces. A low-tack pressure-sensitive adhesive allows the notes to be easily attached, removed and even re-posted elsewhere without leaving residue. Originally small yellow squares, Post-it Notes and related products are available in various colors, shapes, sizes and adhesive strengths. As of 2019, there are at least 26 documented colors of Post-it Notes.
Although 3M's patent expired in 1997, Post-it and the original notes' distinctive yellow color remain registered company trademarks, with terms such as repositionable notes used for similar offerings manufactured by competitors. While use of the trademark 'Post-it' in a representative sense refers to any sticky note, no legal authority has ever held the trademark to be generic.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAT31B - Warrington was founded by the Romans at an important crossing place on the River Mersey. A new settlement was established by the Saxons. By the Middle Ages, Warrington had emerged as a market town at the lowest bridging point of the river. A local tradition of textile and tool production dates from this time.
The modern Borough of Warrington was formed in 1974 with the amalgamation of the former County Borough of Warrington, part of the Golborne Urban District, the Lymm Urban District, part of the Runcorn Rural District, the Warrington Rural District and part of the Whiston Rural District.
The River Mersey runs through the heart of the town dividing it in two. There are only two main thoroughfares crossing the Mersey in Warrington: at Warrington Bridge at Bridge Foot and at the Kingsway Bridge. Before the M6 was built, these routes were very busy with through traffic.
The Manchester Ship Canal runs through the south of the town
three swing bridges and a high-level cantilever bridge provide crossing points. Although shipping movements on the ship canal are far less frequent than in years past, they can cause severe delay to local road traffic. The Bridgewater Canal runs through the borough from the village of Lymm to Walton Hall and Gardens, a local park/leisure area. The course of the Sankey Canal runs through the west of the town, although most of it is not suitable for navigation.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K43P0P - A 17 year old has been jailed for life after he battered another teenager to death.
Victim Stuart Lowe, 18, was killed in Warrington, in October, when Sibongiseni Majola struck him about the head with a screwdriver and kicked him while on the ground.
Stuart had suffered a massive brain injury and although he clung to life for seven days, he died a week later without regaining conciousness.
Yesterday, Majola, from Warrington, was sentenced to life behind bars, with a recommendation he serve at least 12 years before he can be considered for parole.
He had admitted murder last month at Chester crown court.
The court heard that joinery apprentice Stuart had gone to a party at The Bank Quay Social Club on October 17, last year.
It finished at 11pm and led to up to 100 young people, mostly students, milling around on the streets outside.
The mood began to change when football songs were chanted and witnesses report seeing fighting breaking out.
Majola and his friend were hit, and later claimed they had been subjected to racist comments.
The defendant left the scene in a friend's car and was dropped off at his home nearby.
But instead of staying there, he armed himself with a screwdriver, and headed back to Warrington town centre.
His friend, who had also armed himself with a shovel, joined him.
As they walked along Sankey Street they came across Stuart Lowe with his friends, making their way home.
Although Stuart was not involved in the initial fight, an altercation developed between the two groups, and Majola struck his head with the screwdriver.
Witnesses say Majola kicked Stuart as he lay on the floor before running off.
A 17-year-old, from Warrington, pleaded guilty to the possession of the shovel and affray and was jailed for 18 months.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DAPRB0 - Raymond Anthony Codling was an Inspector with Greater Manchester Police who was murdered at Birch Services on the M62 motorway near Heywood, Greater Manchester, in 1989.
In the early hours of 14 September 1989, Codling, aged 49, in company with Sergeant James Bowden, 45, arrived at Birch motorway services between junctions 18 and 19, westbound, on the M62, looking for a white van, the details for which had been circulated by radio. The officers saw a motorcyclist, whom they approached, and he provided them with his details, which later proved to be false. A short time later they saw the man again, acting suspiciously, and the two officers approached him.
Bowden noticed that the man had a large knife in his belt and was holding his right hand inside his jacket. Bowden attempted to seize the knife but the man pulled back and drew out a 9 mm pistol. The man fired almost immediately at Bowden, but he escaped injury as the bullet was fired across his body and was deflected by the thick leather cover of his notebook in a breast pocket. The man then shot Codling in the chest
as he laid on the ground injured, a second shot was fired at Codling, killing him. Bowden attempted to give chase but was hit by a gunshot in the leg and was forced to take cover
he later recovered from emergency surgery. The suspect escaped.
After a manhunt, the gunman, later identified as Anthony Hughes from Baguley, was traced to a garage in Kendray, South Yorkshire. When officers entered they found Hughes' body
he had killed himself with the same gun used in the attack on Codling and Bowden. No motive was ever established for the attack, except that Hughes had previously carried out a series of armed robberies, had served 15 years in prison for a string of violent offences, and had indicated his desire to kill a police officer following an earlier court appearance for a minor offence for which he was fined.
In 1991, a memorial to Codling was unveiled at the place of his death

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGERJ - The 2002 Commonwealth Games, officially known as the XVII Commonwealth Games and commonly known as Manchester 2002 were held in Manchester, England, from 25 July to 4 August 2002. The 2002 Games were to be hosted in the United Kingdom to coincide with the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II, head of the Commonwealth, and Manchester was selected for the 2002 Games ahead of London. The XVII Commonwealth Games was, prior to the 2012 Summer Olympics, the largest multi-sport event ever to be held in the UK, eclipsing the London 1948 Summer Olympics in numbers of teams and athletes participating. In terms of sports and events, the 2002 Games were the largest Commonwealth Games in history featuring 281 events across 17 sports.
The Games were considered a success for the host city, providing an event to display how Manchester had changed following the 1996 bombing. The Games formed the catalyst for the widespread regeneration and heavy development of Manchester, and bolstered its reputation as a European and global city internationally. Rapid economic development and continued urban regeneration of the now post-industrial Manchester continued after the Games which helped cement its place as one of the principal cultural cities in the United Kingdom.
The opening and closing ceremonies, the athletic and the rugby sevens events were held at the City of Manchester Stadium, which was purpose built for the Games. Unusually for a large multi-sport event?the second-largest competition by number of countries and athletes participating?the shooting events were held in the National Shooting Centre in Bisley, Surrey, some 200 miles (322 km) from the main focus of the Games in Manchester. Seventy-two nations competed in 14 individual sports and 3 team sports events.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RFF5HA - Canal Street, the centre of the Manchester Gay Village, is a street in Manchester city centre in North West England. The pedestrianised street, which runs along the west side of the Rochdale Canal, is lined with gay bars and restaurants. At night time, and in daytime in the warmer months, the street is filled with visitors, often including gay and lesbian tourists from all over the world. The northern end of the street meets Minshull Street and the southern meets Princess Street
part of the street looks across the Rochdale Canal into Sackville Park.
90's Focus led to several of the pubs on or near Canal Street acquiring a predominantly gay clientele. In 1991, Manto (Manchester Tomorrow) bar opened at no. 46. It was built in 1989 by Benedict Smith Architects. Unlike the other gay bars at that time, Manto had large glass windows, allowing the casual passer-by to view what was going on inside. Previously, many establishments catering for the gay community were often keen to conceal activities from the general public, but the architectural design of Manto was seen as a queer visual statement of we're here, we're queer ? get used to it, and a brick-and-mortar refusal to hide any more, or to remain underground and invisible.
Over the next decade, more numerous and larger bars opened along the canal side, turning Canal Street into the centre of the most successful gay village in Europe. Because of this, the Canal Street street signs are regularly defaced to read Anal Treet or Anal Street. The success was further enhanced by the use of Canal Street and its bars in several television series, including Bob and Rose and Queer as Folk, both written by Russell T Davies.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK655 - 9/11 memorial's fountains flow
The fountain, where the north tower of the World Trade Center once stood, was undergoing tests of the massive pumping systems that will blast 26,000 gallons a minute over the 30-foot deep black granite walls.
Daniels, who happened upon the test yesterday, said the sight of the water filling the 1-acre pool was awe-inspiring after years of planning and building.
Construction workers from around the site paused to look and listen during the tests as engineers below the memorial plaza monitored and adjusted the 16 pumps that will circulate 480,000 gallons of recycled water.
During the design phase of the memorial, there were concerns that the fountains might be too loud. But Daniels said the sound of the cascading water yesterday created a nice, peaceful background, like the sound of the ocean.
It's perfect. It's not overwhelming at all, Daniels said.
A second fountain over the footprint of the south tower will be ready for testing later this year. A spokesman for the Port Authority, which is overseeing construction of the $500 million memorial, said yesterday's trial run went very well.
The two fountains together make up the nation's largest manmade waterfalls, and are at the heart of the design of the memorial, called Reflecting Absence.
Paula Berry, a 9/11 family member who served on the 13-member jury that picked the memorial design by Michael Arad, was ecstatic about the test run.
The presence of water is incredibly important at the memorial, said Berry. When you think of the memorial's name, Reflecting Absence, you have to have the means to reflect and the water plays that role.
But Berry said the sound of the water rushing over the sides of the fountains could very well be one of the most lasting impressions visitors take away.
Yesterday's tests lasted a few hours, and will be repeated as needed.
Construction of the memorial remains on schedule for its planned opening next Sept. 11 ? the 10th anniversary

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GY09FY - St Wilfrid's Church is in Church Lane, Grappenhall, a village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth
The church is Norman in origin, built probably in the earlier part of the 12th century and completed about 1120. This was a small and simple church, consisting of a nave, chancel and, possibly, an apse. The foundations of this church were discovered during the 1873?74 restoration.
A chantry chapel was added by the Boydell family in 1334 in a position where the south aisle now stands. From 1529 the church was largely rebuilt in local sandstone. The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built. In 1539 the south aisle was added, which incorporated the Boydell chapel. The south porch was added in 1641 and at this time the west wall was strengthened. In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built. There was a more substantial restoration in 1873?74 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about ?4,000

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7YKP6 - Manchester United Football Club is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England, that currently competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.
Manchester United have won 20 league titles, the most of any English club, 11 FA Cups, four League Cups and a record 20 FA Community Shields. The club has also won three European Cups, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup. In 1998?99, the club became the first in the history of English football to achieve the treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
The 1958 Munich air disaster claimed the lives of eight players. In 1968, under the management of Matt Busby, Manchester United became the first English football club to win the European Cup. Alex Ferguson won 38 trophies, including 13 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cups and 2 UEFA Champions Leagues, between 1986 and 2013, when he announced his retirement. Louis van Gaal is the club's current manager after Ferguson's successor David Moyes was sacked after only 10 months in charge.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1ME - Stornoway (Gaelic: Ste?rnabhagh) is a town on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles) of Scotland.
The town's population is around 8,000, making it the largest town in the Hebrides, with a third of the population of the civil parish of Stornoway, which includes various nearby villages and has a population of approximately 12,000.
Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. It is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. Observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) has long been an aspect of the island's culture. Recent changes mean that Sunday on Lewis is now less different from Sunday on the other Western Isles or the mainland of Scotland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEEG4G - Murals in Northern Ireland have become symbols of Northern Ireland, depicting the region's past and present political and religious divisions.
Belfast and Derry contain arguably the most famous political murals in Europe. It is believed that almost 2,000 murals have been documented since the 1970s. In 2014, the book, The Belfast Mural Guide estimated that, in Belfast, there were approximately 300 quality murals on display, with many more in varying degrees of age and decay. Murals commemorate, communicate and display aspects of culture and history. The themes of murals often reflect what is important to a particular community. A mural therefore exists to express an idea or message and could generally be seen as reflecting values held dear to that community.
In Irish republican areas the themes of murals can range from the 1981 Irish hunger strike, with particular emphasis on strike leader Bobby Sands
murals of international solidarity with revolutionary groups are equally common, as are those which highlight a particular issue, for example the Ballymurphy Massacre or the McGurk's Bar bombing. In working class unionist communities, murals are used to promote Ulster loyalist paramilitary groups such as the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force and commemorate their deceased members. However traditional themes such as William III of England and the Battle of the Boyne, the Battle of the Somme and the 36th Ulster Division are equally common

Roulette is a casino game named after a French diminutive for 'little wheel'. In the game, players may choose to place bets on either a single number or a range of numbers, the colors red or black, or whether the number is odd or even.
A legend tells Fran\u00e7ois Blanc supposedly bargained with the devil to obtain the secrets of roulette. The legend is based on the fact that the sum of all the numbers on the roulette wheel (from 1 to 36) is 666, which is the 'Number of the Beast'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEMX89 - Manchester Cathedral is a medieval church on Victoria Street in central Manchester and is the seat of the Bishop of Manchester. The cathedral's official name is The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George in Manchester. It has also variously been known locally as St Mary's, Christ Church and, simply, t'owd church.[citation needed]
Although extensively refaced, restored and extended in the Victorian period, and then again following severe bomb damage in the 20th century, the main body of the Cathedral largely derives from the wardenship of James Stanley (warden 1485?1506), and is in the Perpendicular Gothic style. Stanley was also primarily responsible for commissioning the spectacular late medieval wooden furnishings, including the pulpitum, the choir stalls, and the nave roof supported by angels with gilded instruments. It is one of the Grade I listed buildings in Manchester. Since 2005 the Dean of the Cathedral has been the Very Reverend Rogers Morgan Govender.
The Cathedral has thirty 16th-century misericords, considered to be amongst the finest in Europe. It is worth noting that the misericords have a stylistic similarity to those at Ripon Cathedral and Beverley Minster ? and although Manchester's post date-these, they were probably carved by the same school at Ripon. One of the most notable is N-08, which is the earliest known mention of backgammon in the UK. The early 16th century also saw the construction of an almost complete sequence of chantry chapels for local guilds along both north and south sides of the church
in effect creating a double aisle around the parochial nave, which is consequently much wider than it is long. Indeed Manchester is commonly claimed to have the widest nave of any cathedral in England. James Stanley is also responsible for the embellishment of the nave roof with supporters in the form of fourteen life-size angel minstrels, each playing a different late medieval instrument.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF21Y9 - A moody and atmospheric view of the Bobby Sands mural painted on the side of a Sinn Fein office on the Falls Road in West Belfast, Northern Ireland. The mural depicts Bobby Sands, Irish republican hunger striker and Member of Parliament, whose death in 1981 became a defining moment in the history of the Troubles. Rendered in a muted, desaturated palette under heavy cloud, the image conveys the weight of political memory embedded within the urban streetscape.
The mural is framed by surrounding terraced housing and everyday street infrastructure, grounding this powerful symbol of conflict and resistance within a lived residential environment. In the foreground, children walk past the mural, introducing a striking contrast between the legacy of political struggle and the ordinariness of daily life. This juxtaposition reflects how history, identity and memory coexist within communities in West Belfast, where murals remain a prominent form of public expression.
Political murals along the Falls Road have long functioned as visual statements of identity, commemoration and resistance. They are part of a wider tradition of wall art in Northern Ireland that communicates historical narratives outside formal institutions, often serving as unofficial memorials and teaching tools for successive generations. The dark, brooding sky and subdued tones reinforce themes of loss, endurance and unresolved history.
This image is well suited for editorial use covering Northern Ireland politics, the Troubles, Irish republican history, peace and reconciliation, public art, memory and identity, as well as commercial editorial projects examining contested histories, urban communities and the long-term social impact of political conflict.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CBTEFB - The Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool (Anfield L4 0TH), displaying the engraved names of the football supporters who died as a result of the Hillsborough disaster of 15 April 1989. The memorial serves as a permanent place of remembrance and reflection for families, supporters and visitors.
The disaster occurred during an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough Stadium in Sheffield, when overcrowding in the Leppings Lane end led to a fatal crush. In the years that followed, bereaved families and campaigners sought accountability amid widespread misinformation and institutional failures.
In 2016, fresh inquests returned verdicts that the 96 victims were unlawfully killed, concluding that police failings were the primary cause and that supporters were not to blame. These findings represented a landmark moment after decades of campaigning for truth and justice. Subsequent criminal proceedings were brought against individuals and organisations
however, in 2021 all remaining prosecutions were discontinued, a decision that proved deeply controversial and distressing for families, despite the inquests' conclusions remaining legally and historically significant.
The memorial at Anfield therefore represents not only remembrance but also the long struggle for justice, transparency and accountability in the aftermath of a major public disaster. It stands as a reminder of the human cost of institutional failure and the enduring impact on families and communities.
Photographed in daylight with the memorial inscriptions clearly visible, the image carries strong editorial value for themes including public remembrance, justice campaigns, football history, disaster accountability, and the relationship between sport, institutions and the law in the UK.

Background: A young girl asked her Father, where is the Hillsborough Memorial? She was told: ?There is one in Anfield.' She said: ?Why can't we have one in the city centre for everyone to see.' This simple question was the catalyst for this monument
The monument is circular with a raised design in low relief. The imagery shows an imaginary place,which is meant to guide our thoughts of remembrance and all that has happened since the tragedy
The people depicted in the design are ?the guardians of the memory', or ?people like us' Their purpose is symbolic and other figures represent justice, hope and loss. The setting is a beautiful and quiet place, which may help us to think about the characters and individual personalities of those who died. The people who passed away are represented by the birds who fly freely throughout the work.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KDPYAW - A printed circuit board (PCB
also printed wiring board or PWB) is a medium used in electrical and electronic engineering to connect electronic components to one another in a controlled manner. It takes the form of a laminated sandwich structure of conductive and insulating layers: each of the conductive layers is designed with an artwork pattern of traces, planes and other features (similar to wires on a flat surface) etched from one or more sheet layers of copper laminated onto and/or between sheet layers of a non-conductive substrate. Electrical components may be fixed to conductive pads on the outer layers in the shape designed to accept the component's terminals, generally by means of soldering, to both electrically connect and mechanically fasten them to it. Another manufacturing process adds vias: plated-through holes that allow interconnections between layers
The Austrian engineer Paul Eisler invented the printed circuit as part of a radio set while working in the UK around 1936. In 1941 a multi-layer printed circuit was used in German magnetic influence naval mines
Around 1943 the USA began to use the technology on a large scale to make proximity fuzes for use in World War II. Such fuzes required an electronic circuit that could withstand being fired from a gun, and could be produced in quantity
Motorola was an early leader in bringing the process into consumer electronics, announcing in August 1952 the adoption of plated circuits in home radios after six years of research and a $1M investment
Originally, every electronic component had wire leads, and a PCB had holes drilled for each wire of each component. The component leads were then inserted through the holes and soldered to the copper PCB traces. This method of assembly is called through-hole construction. In 1949, Moe Abramson and Stanislaus F. Danko of the United States Army Signal Corps developed the Auto-Sembly process in which component leads were inserted into a copper foil interconnection

Daresbury was the birthplace of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland author Lewis Carroll, in All Saints' Vicarage. Daresbury has a Lewis Carroll Visitor Centre and the parish church, All Saints, a Lewis Carroll window, including an image of the Cheshire Cat.Lewis Carroll as born 27 January 1832 ? 14 January 1898.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel by English author Lewis Carroll (the pseudonym of Charles Dodgson). It tells of a young girl named Alice, who falls through a rabbit hole into a subterranean fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as with children.
The Daniell Chapel contains one of the best-known features of All Saints', the Lewis Carroll Memorial Window. To mark the centenary of his birth, Carroll enthusiasts from all over the world subscribed to a memorial fund, which resulted in a gift to All Saints' of this striking and unusual stained glass window, dedicated in 1935.
The window was designed by the stained glass artist Geoffrey Webb and depicts a Nativity scene, at which both Carroll and Alice are present. Below the Nativity scene are 5 panels illustrated with characters and scenes from Alice in Wonderland including the White Rabbit, the Lizard, the Dodo, the Caterpillar, Fish-Footman, Mad Hatter, Dormouse, March Hare, Duchess, Gryphon, Mock Turtle, Knave and Queen of Hearts. The famous Cheshire Cat can be found in the centre of the fifth panel. The 3 centre panels contain verses from the Lewis Carroll's poem ?Christmas Greetings (From a Fairy to a Child)'.
Geoffrey Webb's mark was a spider's web that he would incorporate into the design of his windows. The web can be found in the fifth section of the Window, just above the Queen of Hearts and includes the date ?1935'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF747 - The Wigan Casino was a nightclub in Wigan, England. Operating between 1973 and 1981, it became known as a primary venue for Northern soul music. It carried forward the legacy created by clubs such as the Twisted Wheel in Manchester, the Chateau Impney (Droitwich), the Catacombs (Wolverhampton) and the Golden Torch (Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent). It remains one of the most famous clubs in Northern England. In 1978, allegedly the American music magazine Billboard voted Wigan Casino The Best Disco in the World, ahead of New York City's Studio 54. Although there is no tangible evidence of this award ever being publicised.
This England, a TV documentary about the Wigan Casino, was filmed in 1977. Russ Winstanley and Dave Nowell wrote a history of the club, Soul Survivors, The Wigan Casino Story, which was published in 1996.
Wigan Casino was the name of the last incarnation of a Wigan ballroom called the Empress. Local DJs Brian Rigby and Alan Cain approached lease owner Gerry Marshall to run all-nighters. Venue manager Mike Walker brought in Russ Winstanley, who had a DJ set at the local rugby club, to the Casino. At 2 am on Sunday 23 September 1973, Wigan Casino started its first-ever Northern soul all-nighter, with Winstanley as the DJ. After Winstanley and his helper Ian Fishwick, Kev Roberts was the third DJ at Casino all-nighters, who was quickly joined by Richard Searling Soul performers that performed there include Jackie Wilson, Edwin Starr and Junior Walker.
Young people from all over the UK regularly attended Wigan Casino to hear the latest northern soul artists and to dance. There were long queues to get in. The second dance floor, Mr M's, stayed open until 6 am and played oldies songs from a variety of DJs including Dave Evison and Steve Whittle. All-nighters generally ended with three songs that became known as the '3 before 8': Time Will Pass You By by Tobi Legend, Long After Tonight Is All Over by Jimmy Radcliffe, and I'm on My Way by Dean Parrish.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0NA2 - A winter dusk view from The Vennel, a historic stepped alleyway off Browns Place in Edinburgh's Old Town, photographed at Edinburgh EH1 2HU. The image looks uphill towards Edinburgh Castle, dramatically positioned on its volcanic rock and silhouetted against a dark, moody evening sky. Light snow dusts the stone steps and surrounding rooftops, enhancing the sense of seasonal stillness and historic atmosphere.
The Vennel is one of Edinburgh's most distinctive medieval routes, its narrow stepped form reflecting the city's dense, vertical urban development that evolved within the constraints of defensive walls and steep terrain. Such passages once connected residential areas, workshops and places of worship, forming part of the everyday circulation of life in Scotland's capital for centuries.
The warm glow of traditional street lamps contrasts with the cold tones of the snow and sky, creating a scene often associated with romantic, literary and cinematic depictions of Edinburgh. Views of Edinburgh Castle from the Old Town are among the most iconic in Scotland, symbolising national history, royal power and the city's role as a centre of culture, governance and heritage.
Photographed in low light at dusk, the image captures Edinburgh as both a living city and a preserved historic environment, blending medieval architecture, winter weather and atmospheric lighting. The scene holds strong editorial appeal for themes of Scottish heritage, winter travel, historic European cities, romantic urban landscapes and cultural tourism, offering a timeless portrayal of Edinburgh's enduring character.
