Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6BA - The large-scale mechanical sculpture Ozzy the Bull, photographed inside Birmingham New Street Station at Birmingham B2 4ND. Originally created as a centrepiece for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, the bull has since become one of the city's most recognisable contemporary landmarks.
Constructed from metal components and exposed mechanical detailing, Ozzy references Birmingham's industrial heritage while presenting a playful, accessible symbol of the city's modern identity. The bull was designed to embody strength, energy and resilience, qualities associated both with sport and with Birmingham's historic role as a centre of manufacturing and engineering.
Following the Games, Ozzy was installed at New Street Station, one of the UK's busiest transport hubs, ensuring continued public engagement and visibility. Positioned within the vast interior concourse of the station, the sculpture interacts with daily commuter flows, tourists and shoppers, transforming a functional transit space into a site of cultural encounter.
The presence of Ozzy inside the station reflects wider debates around the legacy of major sporting events, particularly how temporary symbols and installations can be repurposed to deliver long-term cultural and civic value. The sculpture has become a popular meeting point and photographic subject, reinforcing Birmingham's use of public art as a tool for place-making and identity.
Photographed in daylight with people and retail units visible, the image offers strong editorial value for themes including sporting legacy, urban regeneration, public art, city branding and contemporary life in British cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3082P - Crossley Brothers was set up in 1867 by brothers Francis (1839“97) and William J.(1844“1911). Francis, with help from his uncle, bought the engineering business of John M Dunlop at Great Marlborough Street in Manchester city centre, including manufacturing pumps, presses, and small steam engines.
In 1869 they had the foresight to acquire the UK and world (except German) rights to the patents of Otto and Langden of Cologne for the new gas fueled atmospheric internal combustion engine and in 1876 these rights were extended to the famous Otto four-stroke cycle engine. The changeover to four stroke engines was remarkably rapid with the last atmospheric engines being made in 1877.
The business flourished. In 1881, Crossley Brothers became a private limited company (i.e. Crossley Brothers Ltd.), and then in 1882 it moved to larger premises in Pottery Lane, Openshaw, in eastern Manchester.
Crossley Brothers built diesel engines for stationary, marine and locomotive use. There was a wide range of engines from six to 3200 horsepower (Crossley) and up to 9000 horsepower (Crossley-Pielstick).
Their marine engines had a reputation for durability and reliability.

Pelican crossings, puffin crossings and pedex crossings are all types of controlled crossing controlled by traffic signals for pedestrians and drivers. These types of crossings can be used where vehicle speeds are high, where there are a lot of vulnerable pedestrians, where vehicle flows or pedestrian flows are high or where the road layout could cause uncertainty.
At these crossings, there will be at least two signal heads facing each direction of vehicular traffic, as well as signal heads and call buttons for pedestrians. The crossings can be staggered to shorten crossing times, mainly for the benefit of vehicular traffic flow.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MM9A2P - . This authentic period view of Magistrates Court, Bridgwater TA6 3YL, UK in 2018 preserves the main subject alongside smaller contextual details that can acquire greater historical value as places and uses change. The location is represented through Chinese Beckoning cat,with slow moving paw. Other connected aspects include heritage asset, conservation interest, social history, local history, historical comparison, contemporary social history, documentary photography, archival record, heritage landmark, built heritage, changing streetscape, adaptive reuse, period building, and visual archive. For current editorial use, maintenance and heritage conservation provide additional context, especially through the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility. Small period details of lettering, decoration and surface detail at Magistrates Court, Bridgwater TA6 3YL, UK may become more significant with time, particularly following new ownership. Other useful contextual ideas include urban fabric, place identity, public realm, community identity, regional identity, conservation architecture, changing land use, and historic streetscape. References to Beckoning, moving, and Chinese give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. A later view of Magistrates Court, Bridgwater TA6 3YL, UK may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. The wider significance includes maintenance and keeping older buildings useful without erasing their distinctive character without losing the local specificity of Magistrates Court, Bridgwater TA6 3YL, UK. Another strand within the photograph is planning control and the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility in a form that can be compared with future views of Magistrates Court, Bridgwater TA6 3YL, UK.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is one of my favourite tracks of all time. 'Sister Europe' is a song by the English band The Psychedelic Furs from the band's 1980 first album, The Psychedelic Furs. Written by the band and produced by Steve Lillywhite, it was released in February 1980 as the album's second single.
This photograph echo's the cover of the single that shows the continental departures board at what looks like Charing Cross railway station London.
According to Richard Butler of the band, the lyrics conveyed sadness over his then-girlfriend moving away, and were written using imagery, 'instead of saying 'My bird's gone to Italy and I miss her''.
The Psychedelic Furs are an English post-punk/New Wave band founded in 1977. Led by singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim on bass guitar, the Psychedelic Furs are one of the many acts spawned from the British post-punk scene. Their music went through several phases, from an initially austere art rock sound, later touching on new wave and hard rock.
They scored several hits in their early career, but were launched to international attention in 1986 when the film director John Hughes used their song 'Pretty in Pink' for his movie of the same name. A newly recorded version of the song became the Psychedlic Furs' biggest hit to that time. 'Heartbreak Beat', from their 1987 album Midnight to Midnight, was the Furs' biggest Top 40 entry in the US.
The Psychedelic Furs went on hiatus in 1991, and the Butler brothers formed a new band called Love Spit Love. The Psychedelic Furs later regrouped in 2001 and continue to perform around the world.
St Pancras railway station, also known as London St Pancras and since 2007 as St Pancras International, is a railway station terminus celebrated for its Victorian architecture. The Grade I listed building stands on Euston Road in St Pancras, London Borough of Camden, between the British Library, King's Cross station and the Regent's Canal.
It was opened in 1868 by the Midland Railway as the southern terminus of its main line, which connected London with the East Midlands and Yorkshire. When it opened, the arched Barlow train shed was the largest single-span roof in the world.
After escaping planned demolition in the 1960s, the complex was renovated and expanded during the 2000s at a cost of \u00a3800 million with a ceremony attended by the Queen and extensive publicity introducing it as a public space. A security-sealed terminal area was constructed for Eurostar services to Continental Europe via High Speed 1 and the Channel Tunnel, with platforms for domestic trains to the north and south-east of England.
The restored station has 15 platforms, a shopping centre and a bus station, and is served by London Underground's King's Cross St Pancras tube station. St Pancras is owned by London and Continental Railways, along with the adjacent urban regeneration area known as King's Cross Central, and is one of 18 British stations managed by Network Rail. The redeveloped terminus has been described by the travel writer Simon Calder as 'the world's most wonderful railway station'

The scene records Merry Go Round at dusk Princess St Gardens Edinburgh City Scotland UK. Further facets of the scene include regional identity, high-street commerce, community identity, local history, street-level business, social history, archival record, historical comparison, local character, independent retail, town-centre trading, retail property, place identity, and specialist retailer. The modern context includes continuing discussion of business rates, footfall and how shopfronts become short-lived records of changing businesses. As a dated visual record of Princess St, Edinburgh, Scotland , UK, the frame retains materials and architectural details, making it especially useful if closure or conversion subsequently changes the scene. Other useful contextual ideas include small business, documentary photography, contemporary social history, commercial frontage, changing streetscape, bricks-and-mortar retail, customer footfall, and visual archive. Elements such as Edinburgh, Princess, Round, Gardens, and Merry add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. The period setting at Princess St, Edinburgh, Scotland , UK helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. The location additionally provides evidence of business rates and how shopfronts become short-lived records of changing businesses within the real-world context of Princess St, Edinburgh, Scotland , UK. A further contemporary connection is independent business and how commercial property costs affect small retailers within the specific setting of Princess St, Edinburgh, Scotland , UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF7D7C - . St saint Giles Cathedral High Kirk of Edinburgh at dusk, Scotland @HotpixUK. Photographed on 25 December 2010. The recorded location is Royal Mile, Edinburgh, Lothians , Scotland, UK. Historically, panoramic and atmospheric views place individual landmarks within their wider setting
Light, season and weather affect how architecture and landscape are perceived, while distant development can provide clues to the changing form of a town or coastline. As background, 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. In 2026, current interest in climate and place-making gives atmospheric landscape photographs added documentary value, particularly where weather, coastlines or urban development are prominent. Against the 2026 backdrop, 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. The historical context is that seasonal and low-light photography can emphasise the relationship between natural conditions and the built environment
Dusk, snow, mist or dramatic cloud often reveal lighting, silhouettes and reflective surfaces that are less apparent in ordinary daylight. In the longer view, landscape photographs record more than scenery: buildings, vegetation, weather, transport and land use combine to show how a place appeared at a particular moment
Repeated views can later become valuable evidence of development, environmental change and shifting patterns of use. Useful alternative terminology includes panorama, scenic view, night photography, seasonal landscape, skyline, and cityscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8FBAD - An engine order telegraph or E.O.T., often also called a Chadburn, is a communications device used on a ship (or submarine) for the pilot on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel at a certain desired speed. In early vessels, from the 1800s until about 1950, the device usually consisted of a round dial about nine inches in diameter with a knob at the center attached to one or more handles, and an indicator pointer on the face of the dial. Modern E.O.T.s on vessels which still use them use electronic light and sound signals.
Traditional E.O.T.s required a pilot wanting to change speed to ring the telegraph on the bridge, moving the handle to a different position on the dial. This would ring a bell in the engine room and move their pointer to the position on the dial selected by the bridge. The engineers hear the bell and move their handle to the same position to signal their acknowledgment of the order, and adjust the engine speed accordingly. Such an order is called a bell, for example the order for a ship's maximum speed, flank speed, is called a flank bell.
For urgent orders requiring rapid acceleration, the handle is moved three times so that the engine room bell is rung three times. This is called a cavitate bell because the rapid acceleration of the ship's propeller will cause the water around it to cavitate, causing a lot of noise and wear on the propellers. Such noise is undesirable during conflicts because it can give away a vessel's position.
On most modern vessels the EOT acts as a direct throttle with no intervening engine room personnel.
This one has positions of Full Ahead, Half, Slow, Dead Slow, Stand By, Stop. Astern Finished with engines, dead slow, slow, half and full. German U-boats of World War II contained the dial position Alarmtauchen, the order for a crash dive.
Most seen these days are copies. Most do not include the CL of Chadburn Liverpool which was the place of manufacture, as in this specimen h

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0NN3 - . CMA CGM Freight train goes through Warrington Bank Quay, west coast electrified mainline station in Cheshire, England UK. Photographed on 9 July 2009. The recorded location is Warrington Bank Quay Station, warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. In the longer view, financial objects and premises connect economic history with daily life
Banknotes, coins, savings products, cheques, branch buildings and ATMs show how people stored and accessed money before digital banking reduced the visibility of many traditional banking services. From a heritage perspective, stations and railway infrastructure are both working transport assets and historical records
Their changing operators, signage, ticketing systems, rolling stock and architecture chart the development of British rail travel from the Victorian era to modern inter-city and commuter services. Historically, landscape photographs record more than scenery: buildings, vegetation, weather, transport and land use combine to show how a place appeared at a particular moment
Repeated views can later become valuable evidence of development, environmental change and shifting patterns of use. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that access to cash remains a live issue despite the growth of cards and mobile payments
FCA rules now require major banks and building societies to protect reasonable local access to cash, so images of cashpoints, banknotes and closed branches can illustrate the tension between digital banking and physical financial services. As of 2026, rail reform gives this type of image extra context
The government is legislating for Great British Railways to coordinate infrastructure, services, fares and timetables, while historic operator liveries and station equipment increasingly become records of the post-privatisation era. Other closely matched search terms include currency, sterling, personal finance, financial inclusion, payment methods, bank branch, rail transport, and passenger railway.

A further contemporary connection is maintenance and how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change as part of the longer story of the recorded location. The scene captures evidence of changing use as a date-specific reference.

Intended as a short-term solution to a shortage of rolling stock (with a lifespan of no more than 20 years), as of 2018 many Pacer railbuses are still in use.
The Rail Vehicle Accessibility Regulations require that all public passenger trains must be accessible to disabled people by 2020. Only one Pacer (the modernised 144e) currently meets this requirement, and the remainder will therefore need to be withdrawn by that date unless they receive an extensive refurbishment. Porterbrook, which owns the Class 143 and Class 144 fleets, has proposed such a refurbishment for the rest of the fleet, while Angel Trains, which owns the Class 142 fleet, does not see such a refurbishment as a viable option
