Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ECEE46 - A hand holds a newly dispensed King Charles III Bank of stock-photo/gotonysmith-England.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>England £10 note in front of a UK ATM cash machine, showing the new monarch's portrait entering everyday public use through ordinary cash withdrawals. The close-up view of the polymer ten pound note, cash slot and keypad makes this a strong editorial image for stories about British money, personal finance, banking, access to cash, ATM services, the cash economy and the historic currency change following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Banknotes featuring King Charles III were first issued on 5 June 2024, appearing on the existing £5, £10, £20 and £50 designs with no other design changes. The Bank of England has said Queen Elizabeth II notes remain legal tender and co-circulate with the new King Charles III notes, meaning both portraits can be used together during the gradual transition. This image is commercially useful for illustrating the first appearance of new UK banknotes in daily life, cash withdrawals, banknote security, polymer money, consumer spending, household budgets, retail payments, digital banking debates and financial inclusion. The photograph also works for articles on the continuing need for cash among older people, vulnerable households, small traders, rural communities and people who prefer physical money for budgeting. The ATM keypad, cancel and enter buttons, and the hand gripping the note add practical detail, making the image more grounded than a studio banknote shot. It can support features on the future of cash, bank branch closures, free-to-use cash machines, contactless payments, inflation, the cost of living, economic confidence and the symbolic role of monarchs on British currency. As a documentary stock image, it captures a small but recognisable moment in UK financial history, when King Charles III banknotes moved from official release into the ordinary routine of taking money out of a cashpoint.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JGM7AW - The Motor (later, just Motor) was a British weekly car magazine founded on 28 January 1903 and published by Temple Press. It was initially launched as Motorcycling and Motoring in 1902 before the title was shortened.[1] From the 14 March 1964 issue the magazine name was simply Motor. Compared to rival The Autocar (later, just Autocar), Motor was more informative and more conservative.
The magazine usually included:
News and scoops of the latest cars
Motorsport news and results
Car reviews “ normally two, both 2 pages long with specifications and impressions.
Road tests “ one per week and very detailed
In 1988, the journal was absorbed by its long-standing rival Autocar, which became, from the 7 September issue, Autocar & Motor. Six years later, with the 21 September 1994 issue, the name reverted to Autocar.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8DYMB - . Two Jubilee plaques in Church Lane, Grappenhall Village, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK WA4 2SJ. Photographed on 22 May 2013. An example of the record of the twin celebrations of two queen Jubilee, Victoria and Elizabeth was recorded in stone work. In historical terms, ecclesiastical buildings are both active places of worship and repositories of local history
Architectural details, memorials and churchyard monuments provide evidence for religious practice, craftsmanship, community identity, genealogy and the changing use of sacred space. The historical context is that 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. During 2026, historic places of worship remain important not only for faith but also for conservation, tourism, music, community use and local identity
Their maintenance illustrates the continuing challenge of caring for ageing heritage buildings while keeping them accessible and relevant. The subject remains topical in 2026 because interest in local history, genealogy and the conservation of memorials remains strong, while weathering, redevelopment and vandalism can threaten smaller monuments and inscriptions
Detailed photographs help preserve lettering, names and physical condition before further weathering or alteration. In the longer view, churches combine worship with architecture, local memory and centuries of community history
Their stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, evolving liturgy, local benefactors, war remembrance and family history. Other strongly related concepts include ecclesiastical architecture, parish church, Christian heritage, sacred art, religious symbolism, and church interior.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8EHP0 - . Two Jubilee plaques in Church Lane, Grappenhall Village, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK WA4 2SJ. Photographed on 22 May 2013. An example of the record of the twin celebrations of two queen Jubilee, Victoria and Elizabeth was recorded in stone work. From a heritage perspective, churches combine worship with architecture, local memory and centuries of community history
Their stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, changing liturgy, local benefactors, war remembrance and family history. In the longer view, commemorative plaques, gravestones and monuments transform individual or collective memory into a permanent feature of the landscape
Their wording, materials and location can illuminate genealogy, social history, military service and changing attitudes to public remembrance. As of 2026, many historic churches face the practical challenge of maintaining listed fabric while remaining active community buildings, visitor attractions and venues for worship, music and local events
Images of their interiors and memorials therefore serve architectural, heritage and social-history uses. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that 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. As background, parish churches and cathedrals are among Britain's richest sources of architectural and social history
Medieval fabric, Victorian restoration, monuments, stained glass, organs, altars and inscriptions can coexist in a single building, reflecting generations of worship and local patronage. As of 2026, 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.

The OKH, like its more famous neighbour The George Inn, can be found down one of those ancient alleyways that branch like pili from Borough High Street ” look for the hanging sign over the pathway. Inside, the main room looks like it's stuck in some former decade, with glossy paint finishes, peeling picture frames and a good old fashioned bar. You practically have to walk through the bar to get at the stairs, which lead up to a quirky function room with a penchant for Titanic memorabilia. Several groups use the room for monthly meetups, including the rather wonderful South East London Folklore Society. The beer choice is limited, but always well kept.
