Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EMY4DH - Moody black and white documentary photograph shows a Reform UK arrow road sign and a I'm voting Rob Kenyon, 18th June campaign placard in the Makerfield constituency, Wigan, Greater Manchester, during the June 2026 by-election campaign. The image uses dark storm clouds, overhead wires, lamp posts, parked cars and suburban street furniture to create a stark political atmosphere around Reform UK's local campaign. The large circular sign with a right-pointing arrow and the candidate poster beneath it give the picture an unusually graphic quality, suggesting direction, movement, party branding and voter choice. Rob Kenyon, also named in campaign coverage as Robert Kenyon, was Reform UK's candidate in the Makerfield by-election against Labour's Andy Burnham, and was reported as a self-employed plumber and army reservist who had previously contested the seat. The image could be used editorially for stories about Reform UK, right-wing populism, protest voting, Labour versus Reform contests, northern England politics, the changing electoral map in Greater Manchester, by-election campaigning, grassroots publicity, political mood and voter disillusionment in post-industrial communities. The dark sky and monochrome treatment make the scene feel uneasy and unsettled, fitting wider coverage of a high-profile contest where national leadership speculation, local identity and right-wing challenge politics all overlapped. Reform UK's campaign in Makerfield attracted scrutiny because the party sought to present Kenyon as a local working tradesman against a more established Labour figure, while media coverage also reported criticism and controversy around past online comments linked to the candidate. As a stock image, it has strong use for articles about democracy, political advertising, street-level campaigning, populist messaging, working-class electoral appeal, Nigel Farage's party, and the visual language of UK by-elections in 2026.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8E1AC - Seasick Steve performing live at Albert Hall, Manchester, during his Saturday 16 November 2024 UK tour date, pictured seated on stage playing electric guitar beneath deep blue lighting. The image captures the instantly recognisable American blues and roots musician with his trademark long white beard, cap, sleeveless shirt and relaxed, unvarnished stage presence, creating the kind of intimate, authentic concert scene that editors, picture desks and music writers often look for when covering touring artists, live reviews and venue features. Amplifiers, microphone stands, cables, cases and a shadowy stage setup frame the performance, adding practical documentary detail and reinforcing the working atmosphere of a real gig rather than a polished promo shoot. Albert Hall Manchester, a restored former chapel and one of the city's best-loved live venues, provides a dramatic indoor setting for this rootsy performance, with the dark backdrop and blue wash of light helping the musician stand out against the stage. The photograph suits editorial use around blues, blues rock, Americana, roots music, singer songwriters, touring musicians, live entertainment, Manchester nightlife, northern England culture, UK music venues and documentary concert photography. It also works for broader themes such as veteran performers, enduring live appeal, stripped-back musicianship, characterful stage portraits, independent music culture and authentic gig-going experiences. The seated pose, visible guitar, amp stack and low-light venue mood all help tell the story of a performer whose reputation has long been built on raw sound, personality and road-tested credibility rather than polish, spectacle or gimmickry. Strong searchable themes include live blues guitarist, concert at Albert Hall Manchester, bearded musician on stage, intimate indoor gig, electric guitar performance, UK tour date and atmospheric music venue photography. Fairy lights above the stage add extra visual texture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJHP08 - Chinatown is an area of Liverpool that is an ethnic enclave home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe. Located in the south of the city centre, Chinatown has many Chinese businesses, such as Chinese restaurants and supermarkets, and facilities for the Chinese community. The area is also notable for its Chinese-style architecture
with the paifang on Nelson Street being the largest, multiple-span arch of its kind outside China
The first presence of Chinese people in Liverpool dates back to 1834 when the first vessel direct from China arrived in Liverpool's docks to trade such goods as silk and cotton wool. Many Chinese immigrants first arrived in Liverpool in the late 1860s as a result of Alfred Holt and Company employing large numbers of Chinese seamen while establishing the Blue Funnel Shipping Line. The commercial shipping line created strong trade links between the cities of Shanghai, Hong Kong and Liverpool
mainly importing silk, cotton and tea. From the 1890s onwards, small numbers of Chinese began to set up businesses catering to the Chinese sailors working on Holt's lines and others. Some of these men married working class British women, resulting in a number of British-born Eurasian Chinese being born in Liverpool.
The Chinese Arch was assembled in 2000 (after being built in one of Liverpool's twin cities Shanghai) as a mark of redevelopment of the area, which is still continuing today.
Plans to redevelop a significant portion of Chinatown were revealed in October 2010 and April 2012 respectively. One scheme named 'China Square' is to include a Chinese Cultural Museum and Courtyard by Marriott in the former Scandinavian Hotel building. Another regeneration project tipped to take place is 'Shanghai Square', which when built will occupy the southern fringes of Chinatown. The proposal includes building a 23,000 m2 (250,000 sq ft) trade centre that will provide space for up to 100 businesses, specialist accommodation for Chinese students

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8Y9G - A mobile phone telecommunications mast photographed against a dramatic, cloud-filled sky, showing antenna arrays and communications equipment mounted on a steel lattice tower. The structure is silhouetted by backlighting from the sun breaking through the clouds, emphasising the contrast between engineered infrastructure and the natural environment.
Mobile phone masts form a critical part of modern digital infrastructure, supporting voice communication, mobile data, and internet connectivity across urban and rural areas. Such installations underpin 4G and 5G networks, enabling everyday activities including remote working, navigation, emergency services, and digital commerce.
Visually, the image highlights the vertical form and industrial geometry of the mast set against a shifting sky, creating a strong symbolic representation of technology embedded within the landscape. The combination of cloud texture and light suggests changing weather conditions, adding atmosphere and a sense of scale to the scene.
The photograph works as an editorial illustration of telecommunications, digital connectivity, infrastructure investment, and the expanding physical footprint of wireless networks in contemporary society.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55J8C - A dramatic winter sunset fills the sky with vivid bands of pink, red and violet cloud, fading into cooler blue tones higher up. Bare, leafless tree branches stretch across the frame in dark silhouette, creating a natural lattice that both frames the view and emphasises the depth of the skyline beyond. The branching forms suggest deciduous woodland in the dormant season, with no leaves visible and fine twigs sharply outlined against the light.
The sky appears heavily textured with broken cloud, catching the last low-angle sunlight and turning it into a fiery, glowing canopy. The contrast between warm colour near the horizon and cooler tones above gives the scene a strong sense of late-day transition, typical of short winter afternoons when the sun drops quickly and the light changes by the minute. The atmosphere looks crisp and clear enough to hold strong colour, but with enough moisture in the air to illuminate the cloud layers, suggesting calm, cold conditions following a change in weather, or the edge of a clearing front.
The silhouetted tree line in the distance adds scale and place without needing a specific landmark, making the image useful as an atmospheric seasonal background as well as a natural landscape study. The composition reads as quiet and still, with the stark winter branches contrasting against the richness of the sky, capturing a fleeting moment of colour that visitors and walkers often notice most in the colder months, when the trees are stripped back and the sky becomes the main event.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K7NBJ7 - Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the striking clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, England, and the name is frequently extended to refer also to the clock and the clock tower. The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was originally the Clock Tower, but it was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
The tower was designed by Augustus Pugin in a neo-Gothic style. When completed in 1859, its clock was the largest and most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world. The tower stands 316 feet (96 m) tall, and the climb from ground level to the belfry is 334 steps. Its base is square, measuring 40 feet (12 m) on each side. Dials of the clock are 22.5 feet (6.9 m) in diameter. All four nations of the UK are represented on the tower on shields featuring a rose for England, thistle for Scotland, shamrock for Ireland, and leek for Wales. On 31 May 2009, celebrations were held to mark the tower's 150th anniversary.
Big Ben is the largest of the tower's five bells and weighs 13.5 long tons (13.7 tonnes
15.1 short tons). It was the largest bell in the United Kingdom for 23 years. The origin of the bell's nickname is open to question
it may be named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw its installation, or heavyweight boxing champion Benjamin Caunt. Four quarter bells chime at 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour and just before Big Ben tolls on the hour. The clock uses its original Victorian mechanism, but an electric motor can be used as a backup.
The tower is a British cultural icon recognised all over the world. It is one of the most prominent symbols of the United Kingdom and parliamentary democracy, and it is often used in the establishing shot of films set in London. The clock tower has been part of a Grade I listed building since 1970 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
On 21 August 2017, a four-year schedule of renovation works began on the tower

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTF4C0 - Salts Mill (sometimes spelled Salt's Mill) is a former textile mill, now an art gallery, shopping centre, and restaurant complex in Saltaire, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1853, and the present-day 1853 Gallery takes its name from the date of the building which houses it. The mill has many paintings by the local artist David Hockney on display and also provides offices for Pace plc.
The Mill and surrounding town of Saltaire was financed and built by the 19th century industrialist and philanthropist Sir Titus Salt after he observed other textile factories and was disappointed by the working conditions he saw there. At the time mill working conditions were commonly poor, with most workers suffering disease, low wages and labour exploitation. Dangerous machinery and long hours, sometimes exceeding 16 hour working days, resulted in frequent accidents. Titus Salt acknowledged this and built a factory and surrounding town with which he intended to improve the working conditions for his employees. When completed, the mill was the largest industrial building in the world by total floor area. It is a grade II* listed building.The mill closed in 1986 and the following year it was sold to Jonathan Silver, who began a long renovation scheme

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BCTGY4 - It's been dubbed an unrepentant relic of yesteryear' - but fans of Stockport's Redrock development have come to its defence.
The sprawling complex has made the shortlist for Business Design magazine's Carbuncle Cup - the annual gong which is dished out in a bid to pinpoint Britain's worst building completed in the past 12 months'.
Many M.E.N readers have taken to social media to share their views about Redrock since the news was announced.
And while the majority thought the nomination was justified, with one commentator describing the imposing structure as a leaning Lego warehouse', others were quick to leap to its defence.
(Image: Manchester Evening News)
Although glowing praise for its exterior wasn't exactly forthcoming, many pointed out that it's what's on the inside that counts.
The £45m complex has a 10-screen cinema, restaurants, a bar, gym, large car park and public open space.
Michelle Ferris said: I love it! Best cinema!
Yvonne Brookes said: The cinema is fab. I won't go anywhere else now.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P4HWNG - Slightly Moorish in style, the entrance had shops either side and a cafe above. The façade rendered brick
the central entrance has a large rounded window and above that a short tower and cupola. The words PALACE THEATRE emblazon the front on either side of the central tower, above the first floor windows.
Beyond the entrance porch with two doors was a vestibule with central pay-box. The interior was said to be grandly decorated, and included reeded columns and a pair of angels which looked down from the proscenium. The balcony had 200 seats arranged in curved tiers and a refreshment lounge at rear (in addition to cafe below).
It was difficult to make the theatre pay, and it was sold to Shipman and King, who were in turn taken over by Gaumont-British. Revues and pantomimes continued until 1929, but films were gradually introduced for the main part. It was closed in 1938. It soon reopened after improvements to means of escape and during World War II it was very popular as a Barrack Theatre entertaining troops. Theatre use probably finished in the late 1940s.
It was refurbished and the proscenium altered in 1950 to accommodate wide screen films. Disused for several years, the original features from the 1950 refurbishment survived. In 1997 the building was refurbished and opened as a nightclub.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P4HWF9 - Castlefield is an inner city conservation area of Manchester in North West England. The conservation area which bears its name is bounded by the River Irwell, Quay Street, Deansgate and Chester Road. It was the site of the Roman era fort of Mamucium or Mancunium which gave its name to Manchester. It was the terminus of the Bridgewater Canal, the world's first industrial canal, built in 1764
the oldest canal warehouse opened in 1779. The world's first passenger railway terminated here in 1830, at Liverpool Road railway station and the first railway warehouse opened here in 1831.
The Rochdale Canal met the Bridgewater Canal at Castlefield in 1805 and in the 1830s they were linked with the Mersey and Irwell Navigation by two short cuts. In 1848 the two viaducts of the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway crossed the area and joined each other, two further viaducts and one mainline station Manchester Central railway station followed. It has a tram station, Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop (formerly G-Mex) providing frequent Manchester Metrolink services to Eccles, Bury, Altrincham, Manchester Piccadilly, East Didsbury and Rochdale.
Castlefield was designated a conservation area in 1980 and the United Kingdom's first designated urban heritage park in 1982

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F89PK2 - Edinburgh Castle is an historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100-year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world

Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh,[3] the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EBFWG0 - Tower Bridge is a bridge in London. It crosses the River Thames near the Tower of London. The north side of the bridge is Tower Hill, and the south side of the bridge comes down into Bermondsey, robbie, an area in Southwark. It is far more visible than London Bridge, which people often mistake it for. If large boats need to sail under Tower Bridge, the two halves of the bridge lift up to let it under. Many tourists go to London to see the Tower Bridge.
When it was first built, Tower Bridge was the bridge. Bascule is the French word for a see-saw. The bascules are the surfaces raised to allow tall ships to pass through: this happens about 900 times per year. The bridge's deck can be raised to 83deg from the horizontal. Tower Bridge is one of London's most famous sights.
The City of London Corporation held a competition for the design in 1876. Over 50 designs were entered, and in 1884 Horace Jones and John Wolfe Barry's design was chosen.
Workers began to build the Tower Bridge in April 1886 and the bridge was opened in 30 June 1894.
In June 2012, the bridge was highlighted on the route of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the Thames

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DG3857 - The current North Bridge is 525 feet (160 m) long and has three spans of arched girders each 175 feet (53 m) feet in length. It is 75 feet (23 m) wide. It was constructed from 18941897 by Sir William Arrol & Co., which company is also noted for construction of the Forth Bridge. The design of the ornamentation was by the City architect of the time, Robert Morham.
The foundation stone was laid on 25 May 1896 by the then Lord Provost (the Rt. Hon Andrew McDonald, with Masonic ceremonial. A medal[3] was struck commemorating the opening of the bridge on 15 September 1897.[4] The medal shows a view of the bridge with trains underneath and on the obverse a bust of the by then knighted Sir Andrew McDonald, Lord Provost.[5]
K.O.S.B. Memorial by Birnie Rhind, North Bridge
Situated on the bridge is a war memorial, by sculptor William Birnie Rhind which memorialises soldiers of the King's Own Scottish Borderers killed in campaigns between 1878 and 1902.
At the southern end of the bridge (where it meets the Royal Mile and South Bridge, in the Edinburgh's Old Town) are substantial buildings whose main entrances are at carriageway level but which also have entrances in the valley below. Those on the west side are The Scotsman Hotel, former headquarters of The Scotsman newspaper, alongside a block of commercial premises and flats (Royal Mile Mansions). That on the east housed Patrick Thomson's department store from 1906 until 1976 when its then owner the House of Fraser rebranded it as Arnotts department store. The store closed in 1981 and the building was redeveloped as a hotel and smaller shops.
At the northern end of the bridge, where it meets Princes Street in the New Town, on the west side is the Balmoral Hotel, originally built as the North British Hotel, the North British Railway's hotel serving Waverley Station, which lies below. On the east side is Waverley Gate, originally the Edinburgh General Post Office, now

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5266844649 - 'Mr Brownstone - 'Guns n' Roses' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Mr Brownstone is a track from the album 'Appetite for Destruction' from 1987. Legend has it that Slash &
Izzy Stradlin wrote the song after lamenting their heroin habits. The line 'I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do, so the little got more and more. I just keep trying to get a little better, said a little better than before' encapsulates it all.
Mr Brownstone was GnR's first UK double A-side single, but was not released anywhere else in that form. The band was from Hollywood, Los Angeles, California originating in 1985. Led by frontman and co-founder Axl Rose (born William Bruce Rose, Jr.), the band has released six studio albums so far &
an official live album while going through numerous line-up changes. As of 2010, Rose is the only consistent member of Guns N' Roses.
The debut album, 'Appetite for Destruction', has sold in excess of 28 million copies worldwide and even if you hate rock or metal music, in my opinion you should still probably have a copy. There was a long gap between early work and the much hyped 'Chinese Democracy' album.
On March 26, 2008, 'Dr Pepper' announced a plan to give everyone in America \u2013 except the band's former guitarists Slash and Buckethead \u2013 a free can of Dr Pepper if the band released Chinese Democracy before the end of 2008. Rose added, 'As some of Buckethead's performances are on our album, I'll share my Dr Pepper with him.'
With the announcement from Guns N' Roses regarding a release date in November, Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's Vice President of Marketing for Dr. Pepper, announced a free soda coupon campaign for 24 hours on Sunday, November 23, 2008. Due to 'heavy volume' on the server throughout the entire day it was impossible to submit for your free coupon. I cannot say I was gutted, I would rather drink 'Venos' than Dr Pepper myself!

Castlerigg Stone Circle (alt. Keswick Carles, Carles, Carsles or Castle-rig) near Keswick in England is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain and is the most visited stone circle in Cumbria, England UK.
Every year, thousands of people make the short journey from Keswick to the plateau of Castlerigg Fell and to Chestnut Hill, on which the monument stands. This plateau forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells and from within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.
The stones are of a local metamorphic slate, set in a flattened circle, measuring 32.6 m (107 ft) at its widest and 29.5 m (97 ft) at its narrowest. The heaviest stone has been estimated to weigh around 16 tons and the tallest stone measures approximately 2.3m high. There is a 3.3m wide gap in its northern edge, which may have been an entrance.
Within the circle, abutting its eastern quadrant, is a roughly rectangular setting of a further 10 stones. The circle was probably constructed around 3200 BC (Late Neolithic/Early Bronze-Age), making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain and possibly in Europe. It is important to archaeoastronomers who have noted that the sunrise during the Autumn equinox appears over the top of Threlkeld Knott, a hill 3.5 km to the east. Some stones in the circle have been aligned with the midwinter sunrise and various lunar positions.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59X9K - Lerwick (Old Norse: Leirvik
Norn: Larvik) is the main town and port of the Shetland archipelago, Scotland. Shetland's only burgh, Lerwick had a population of about 7,000 residents in 2010
Centred 123 miles (200 km) off the north coast of the Scottish mainland and on the east coast of the Shetland Mainland, Lerwick lies 211 miles (340 km) north-by-northeast of Aberdeen
222 miles (357 km) west of the similarly sheltered port of Bergen in Norway
and 228 miles (367 km) south east of Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands. One of the UK's coastal weather stations is situated there, with the local climate having small seasonal variation due to the maritime influence. Being located further north than Saint Petersburg and the three mainland Nordic capitals, Lerwick's nights in the middle of summer only get dark twilight and winters have below six hours of complete daylight.
Lerwick is a name with roots in Old Norse and its local descendant, Norn, which was spoken in Shetland until the mid-19th century. The name Lerwick means bay of clay. The corresponding Norwegian name is Leirvik, leir meaning clay and vik meaning bay or inlet. Towns with similar names exist in southwestern Norway (Leirvik, Lervik) and on the Faroe Islands (Leirvík)
Evidence of human settlement in the Lerwick area dates back to the Neolithic (40002500 BC) and the Bronze Age (2500800 BC) known from paleoenvironmental records for human activity and the recovery of artefacts, including a stone axe head submerged in Bressay Sound. Iron Age (800 BC AD 800) settlement is known at the Broch of Clickimin, which was constructed as early as 400 BC. The first settlement to be known as Lerwick was founded in the 17th century as a herring and white fish seaport to trade with the Dutch fishing fleet. This settlement was on the mainland (west) side of Bressay Sound, a natural harbour with south and north entrances between the Shetland mainland and the island of Bressay.

It is also the constituancy of Mr Cameroone, current leader of the Tory party (possible prime minister or another ex-Tory leader if he fluffs that gig in May 2010).
A buttercross (as seen here), also known as butter cross, is a type of market cross associated with English market towns, such as Witney and dating from medieval times. Its name originates from the fact that they were located at the market place (same as today), where people from neighbouring villages would gather to buy locally produced butter, milk and eggs. The fresh produce was laid out and displayed on the circular stepped bases of the cross.
Their design varies from place to place, but they are usually covered by some type of roof to offer shelter, although the roofs were mostly added at a much later date than the original cross they cover.
Witney Market began in the Middle Ages. Thursday is the traditional market day and I have spent some interesting lunchtimes here. There is also a market on Saturday. The buttercross was built in about 1600 and its clock was added in 1683.

The nearby crofting and fishing village lies on the eastern shore of Loch Slapin, 5 miles (7 km) southwest of Broadford (An t-Àth Leathann), on the road to Elgol (Ealaghol). There is a mixture of Victorian white-washed cottages and modern flat-pack houses. The village boasts good views of Blaven and Loch Slapin.
Torrin sits on Durness limestone. There is an abundance of trees and varied plant flora, including more than a dozen species of orchids. Much of the area is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Area of Conservation.
There are five working crofts in Torrin with cattle and sheep. The common grazing extends north onto the surrounding red granite hills Beinn Dearg Mhòr (709m) and Beinn Dearg Bheag (584m) and beyond the head of Loch Slapin

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HCN8 - Hadlow Road railway station was a station on the single track Hooton to West Kirby branch of the Birkenhead Railway, on the Wirral Peninsula, Cheshire, England.
The station served the village of Willaston. It may be presumed that it was named Hadlow Road to distinguish it from the pre-existing Cheshire station at the other Cheshire village of Willaston, and so named, on the GWR/LNWR joint line between Crewe and Nantwich.
Hadlow Road railway station closed to passengers on 17 September 1956. The track continued to be used for freight transportation and driver training for another six years, closing on 7 May 1962. The tracks were lifted two years later.
The route became the Wirral Way footpath and part of Wirral Country Park in 1973, which was the first such designated site in Britain. All of the station (excluding the westbound platform) has been preserved to give an authentic 1950s look and a short section of track has been relaid in front of the eastbound platform.
The station is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building. It is one of two visitor centres on the Wirral Way, with the other at Thurstaston where the platforms remain in situ, but the station has not been restored.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BE34D8 - Alnwick Castle (/ˈænɪk/ (About this soundlisten)) is a castle and country house in Alnwick in the English county of Northumberland. It is the seat of The 12th Duke of Northumberland, built following the Norman conquest and renovated and remodelled a number of times. It is a Grade I listed building and as of 2012 received over 800,000 visitors per year when combined with adjacent attraction The Alnwick Garden
Alnwick Castle guards a road crossing the River Aln. Yves de Vescy, Baron of Alnwick, erected the first parts of the castle in about 1096.[5] Beatrix de Vesci, daughter of Yves de Vescy married Eustace Fitz John, Constable of Chestershire and Knaresborough. By his marriage to Beatrix de Vesci he gained the Baronies of Malton and Alnwick. The castle was first mentioned in 1136 when it was captured by King David I of Scotland. At this point it was described as very strong. It was besieged in 1172 and again in 1174 by William the Lion, King of Scotland and William was captured outside the walls during the Battle of Alnwick. Eustace de Vesci, lord of Alnwick, was accused of plotting with Robert Fitzwalter against King John in 1212 In response, John ordered the demolition of Alnwick Castle and Baynard's Castle (the latter was Fitzwalter's stronghold),[9] but his instructions were not carried out at Alnwick

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KE64RG - The Ian Curtis mural in Macclesfield
An artwork dedicated to one of Macclesfield's finest musicians has pride of place in the town centre. The mural of Ian Curtis, the iconic former frontman of Joy Division, is a fully funded Cheshire East Council project and has been painted by well-known street artist Akse'. It adorns a building on Mill Street, just across from the bus station.

Ian was brought up in Macclesfield, won a scholarship to King's School in the town and his ashes are buried in Macclesfield Cemetery. He took his own life in 1980.
The commissioning of the mural follows on from Cheshire East Council's approval of the Macclesfield town centre strategic regeneration framework, which the council is continuing to deliver against.
The framework sets out the council's vision for the town centre as a place which celebrates its quirkiness and provides the development sector with the confidence and certainty needed to bring forward investment, jobs and economic growth.
As part of the council funded project, you can watch Macclesfield residents share their thoughts on what the mural brings to their town.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXKH4 - Greyfriars
Greyfriars Kirkyard is the graveyard surrounding Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located at the southern edge of the Old Town, adjacent to George Heriot's School. Burials have been taking place since the late 16th century, and a number of notable Edinburgh residents are interred at Greyfriars. The Kirkyard is operated by City of Edinburgh Council in liaison with a charitable trust, which is linked to but separate from the church. The Kirkyard and its monuments are protected as a category A listed building.
History
Greyfriars takes its name from the Franciscan friary on the site (the friars of which wear grey habits), which was dissolved in 1560. The churchyard was founded in August 1562 after Royal sanction was granted to replace the churchyard at St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. The latter burial ground was not used after around 1600
By 1565, all the buildings of the Friary had been removed and their stones carried away for use in the construction of the New Tolbooth and to repair St Giles' and its kirkyard walls. The kirkyard of St Giles' was, by then, overcrowded and Mary, Queen of Scots had, in 1562, given the grounds of the Friary to the town council to use as a burial ground
Greyfriars Bobby (4 May 1855 14 January 1872) was a Skye Terrier or Dandie Dinmont Terrier who became known in 19th-century Edinburgh for spending 14 years guarding the grave of his owner until he died on 14 January 1872. The story continues to be well known in Scotland, through several books and films. A prominent commemorative statue and nearby graves are a tourist attraction.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYAX3K - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world

As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world
