Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E91EFX - Editorial close-up of a handheld Socialist Worker placard reading Trans Rights Now, photographed at a protest in Liverpool, England. The sign uses the blue, pink and white colours associated with trans visibility and liberation messaging, and is presented as a strong, direct piece of campaign communication within a public demonstration setting. This image is useful for editorial themes around transgender rights, LGBT activism, grassroots protest, civil rights campaigning, left wing politics, public dissent, equality movements and the role of placards and slogans in modern street politics. The clear wording and recognisable Socialist Worker branding give the photograph additional value for stories about socialist participation in UK protest movements, coalition activism, campaign organising and responses to political or media hostility towards trans people. Because the composition is tight and message-led, the image works particularly well for newspapers, magazines, online features and opinion pieces needing a concise visual shorthand for trans rights mobilisation rather than a broad crowd scene. It is also commercially useful for searches linked to protest signage, activism photography, political communication, campaign materials, gender identity debate, human rights, demonstration culture and contemporary British street politics. The Liverpool reference adds regional relevance for coverage of Merseyside activism and North West England protest culture, while the polished graphic design of the placard makes the image visually striking and immediately legible in thumbnail search results. The picture can illustrate discussions of solidarity, inclusion, public campaigning, social movements, freedom of expression and the continuing use of simple printed placards as one of the most effective tools of political messaging. It has a documentary, real-world character rather than a staged studio feel, which strengthens its editorial value for current affairs, social issues.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJW3 - A wide-angle view of the Express Building on Great Ancoats Street in Manchester city centre, photographed in August 2025 during a period of bright summer weather. Clear blue skies and strong sunlight create striking reflections across the building's glass curtain wall, producing changing patterns of light that emphasise its geometric design.
Completed in the late 1930s as the northern headquarters of the Daily Express newspaper, the building is one of Manchester's most distinctive examples of interwar modernist architecture, often described as having strong Art Deco influences. Its use of glass, steel and clean horizontal lines represented a confident, forward-looking image of mass media and modern communication during the pre-war period.
Today, the Express Building has been repurposed as office accommodation, forming part of the wider regeneration of Great Ancoats Street and the eastern edge of Manchester city centre. The presence of pedestrians at street level highlights its continued role in everyday urban life, while the reflective façade mirrors the surrounding city, visually linking past and present.
The image captures how historic modernist architecture responds dynamically to summer light, and how Manchester's media heritage buildings have been adapted to contemporary use. It is well suited for editorial use covering architecture, urban regeneration, adaptive reuse, city-centre life, and the evolving relationship between light, material and the modern cityscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RY696F - This image shows a heavily weathered enamel advertising sign for The Sunday People newspaper, a long-running British Sunday tabloid. The sign features prominent typography, a Union flag motif, and historic promotional text referencing Saturday's News & Sport, reflecting mid-twentieth-century newspaper marketing aimed at a mass readership. Extensive rusting, peeling enamel, and surface corrosion indicate prolonged outdoor exposure and age.
Enamel signs such as this were once a common feature of streets, newsagents, railway stations, and industrial buildings across Britain, serving as durable advertising for popular newspapers and consumer brands. The Sunday People, first published in 1881, positioned itself as a widely read working-class paper, combining news, sport, and human-interest stories, and became part of the fabric of British popular culture throughout the twentieth century.
The deteriorated condition of the sign adds strong visual interest, highlighting themes of industrial decline, nostalgia, and the changing nature of print media. The Union flag imagery reinforces associations with national identity and British popular press history. This image is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to newspaper history, British media, vintage advertising, urban decay, heritage signage, nostalgia, and cultural studies of twentieth-century Britain.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJCCAG - At the end of the decade, The Sun's coverage of the Hillsborough football stadium stock-photo/gotonysmith-Disaster.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>disaster, in which 97 people died as a result of their injuries, proved to be, as the paper later admitted, the most terrible blunder in its history.
Three days after the accident, editor Kelvin MacKenzie published an editorial which accused people of scapegoating the police, saying that the disaster occurred because thousands of fans, many without tickets tried to get into the ground just before kick-off either by forcing their way in or by blackmailing the police into opening the gates. The next day, under a front-page headline The Truth, the paper falsely accused Liverpool fans of theft and of urinating on and attacking police officers and emergency services. Conservative Member of Parliament Irvine Patnick was quoted as claiming that a group of Liverpool supporters told a police officer that they would have sex with a dead female victim
Widespread boycotts of the newspaper throughout Merseyside followed immediately and continue to this day. Boycotts include both customers refusing to purchase it, and retailers refusing to stock it. The Financial Times reported in 2019 that Merseyside sales were estimated to drop from 55,000 per day to 12,000 per day, an 80% decrease. Chris Horrie estimated in 2014 that the tabloid's owners had lost £15 million per month since the disaster, in 1989 prices. Sales also declined to a lesser degree in neighbouring parts of Cheshire and Lancashire. It was revealed in a documentary called Alexei Sayle's Liverpool, aired in September 2008, that many Liverpudlians will not even take the newspaper for free, and those who do may simply burn or tear it up. Local people often refer to the newspaper as The Scum, with campaigners believing it limited their fight for justice

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJW6YE - Coverage of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster by the British tabloid The Sun led to the newspaper's decline in Liverpool and the broader Merseyside region, with organised boycotts against it. The disaster occurred at a football match between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Ninety-seven Liverpool supporters were crushed to death, and several hundred others were injured, due to negligence by the South Yorkshire Police. On 19 April 1989, four days after the incident, The Sun published a front-page story with the headline The Truth containing a number of falsehoods alleging that Liverpool supporters were responsible for the accident.
Though other newspapers reported stories critical of the fans, The Sun's repetition of unreliable claims as fact and position on the incident in the aftermath of the event led to outrage amongst Liverpudlians. From 1993 to 2012, editor Kelvin MacKenzie, who was in charge of many of the publication decisions, gave conflicting comments on whether he was sorry for the front-page story and said that his mistake was in trusting a Conservative Member of ParliamentIrvine Patnick, who was quoted in the piece. The Sun issued apologies in 2004, after Wayne Rooney was criticised for giving exclusive interviews to the paper, in 2012, under the headline The Real Truth, and in 2016, on a page 89 story in the aftermath of a second governmental inquest that concluded fans were unlawfully killed in the disaster.
After a protest in Kirkby in which women burned copies of the newspaper, The Sun (referred to as The S*n or The Scum) was widely boycotted in Merseyside. Sales have been estimated to have dropped from 55,000 per day in the region to 12,000 in 2019. Campaigns against the newspaper including Total Eclipse of the Sun and Shun the Sun first aimed to decrease purchases of the tabloid, and then supply of it by retailers. Journalists from the paper have been denied access to interviews at Liverpool and Everton grounds. Chris Horrie estimated in 2014

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M0KWRJ - The News of the World was a weekly national red top tabloid newspaper published every Sunday in the United Kingdom from 1843 to 2011. It was at one time the world's highest-selling English-language newspaper, and at closure still had one of the highest English-language circulations. It was originally established as a broadsheet by John Browne Bell, who identified crime, sensation and vice as the themes that would sell most copies. The Bells sold to Henry Lascelles Carr in 1891
in 1969 it was bought from the Carrs by Rupert Murdoch's media firm News Limited. Reorganised into News International, a subsidiary of News Corporation, the newspaper was transformed into a tabloid in 1984 and became the Sunday sister paper of The Sun
The News of the World concentrated in particular on celebrity scoops, gossip and populist news. Its somewhat prurient focus on sex scandals gained it the nickname Screws of the World. In its last decade it had a reputation for exposing celebrities' drug use, sexual peccadilloes, or criminal acts, by using insiders and journalists in disguise to provide video or photographic evidence, and covert phone hacking in ongoing police investigations
From 2006, allegations of phone hacking began to engulf the newspaper. These culminated in the revelation on 4 July 2011 that, nearly a decade earlier, a private investigator hired by the newspaper had intercepted the voicemail of missing British teenager Milly Dowler, who was later found murdered.
Amid a public backlash and the withdrawal of advertising, News International announced the closure of the newspaper on 7 July 2011. The scandal deepened when the paper was alleged to have hacked into the phones of families of British service personnel killed in action

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ABJGFE - The Evening Citizen, was an evening version of the Glasgow Citizen (a daily newspaper founded in 1842) and was first published in August 1864. Founded by James Hedderwick, a University of London dropout, the publication became one of Glasgow's most successful newspapers. The newspaper moved to our address on St Vincent Place in 1889, in a specially commission building designed to accommodate the offices and printing presses.
The building itself is of architectural significance, it took four years to build and was the first red sandstone building in the city at the time. It was designed by T L Watson in Dutch Renaissance style with 6 asymmetric bays. The elaborate stone carvings were by James Hendry who was a draftsman to Watson at the time. It was also one of the first buildings in the city to be fully electric, with the newspaper quick to link to the Waterloo Street power station built in 1892. It is listed Category A in Scotland.
Hedderwick's success allowed him to move on to establish other evening newspapers throughout the UK, most notably the London Echo. The Citizen comprised of a daily edition, an evening edition and a weekly supplement. In 1881, Hedderwick was granted an honorary doctorate from the University of Glasgow. We opened as The Citizen in September 2017 and have become a new part of the history of Glasgow.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG40BY - Bile Beans was a laxative and tonic first marketed in the 1890s. The product supposedly contained substances extracted from a hitherto unknown vegetable source by a fictitious chemist known as Charles Forde. In the early years Bile Beans were marketed as Charles Forde's Bile Beans for Biliousness, and sales relied heavily on newspaper advertisements. Among other cure-all claims, Bile Beans promised to disperse unwanted fat and purify and enrich the blood.
Although the manufacturer claimed that the formula for Bile Beans was based on a vegetable source known only to Aboriginal Australians, its actual ingredients, which included cascara, rhubarb, liquorice and menthol, were commonly found in pharmacies of the period. A court case initiated in Scotland in 1905 found that the Bile Bean Manufacturing Company's business was based on a fraud and conducted fraudulently, but Bile Beans continued to be sold until the 1980s nevertheless.
Formulation and manufacture
Charles Edward Fulford (18701906) and Ernest Albert Gilbert (18751905) first sold Bile Beans in Australia in late 1897, marketed as Gould's Bile Beans. Fulford was a Canadian who had travelled to Australia to sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People for his uncle, George Taylor Fulford.
Fulford and Gilbert established the Bile Bean Manufacturing Company in Leeds, England, in 1899. It was claimed that the formula for Bile Beans was created by an Australian scientist Charles Forde in 1898, based on research he had conducted on a vegetable source known only to Aboriginal Australians. In reality, Charles Forde did not exist
the name was used as an alias for Charles Fulford, who had no scientific training

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4M1M - The Scotsman is a Scottish compact newspaper published from Edinburgh. It was a broadsheet until 16 August 2004. The Scotsman Publications Ltd also issues the Edinburgh Evening News and the Herald & Post series of free newspapers in Edinburgh, Fife, and West Lothian.
As of 2014, it had an audited print circulation of 27,208, down from 35,949 in 2012 (Jan - Aug average) and 42,581 in August 2011. Scotsman.com websites, including the news site, job site, property site, mobile site and others have an average of 119,672 visitors a day.
In 1860 they obtained this purpose built office on Cockburn Street in Edinburgh designed in the Scots baronial style by the architects Peddie & Kinnear.
This backed onto their original offices on the Royal Mile. The building bears the initials JR for John Ritchie the founder of the company. In 1902 they moved to huge new offices at the top of the street, facing onto North Bridge, designed by Dunn & Findlay (Findlay being the son of the then owner).
This huge building had taken three years to build and also had connected printworks on Market Street (now the City Art Centre). The printworks connected below road level direct to Waverley Station in a highly efficient production line.

It was located in Warrington (then part of Lancashire, now within Cheshire), effectively moved to Manchester where Manchester New College was its successor institution, and led in time to the formation of Harris Manchester College, Oxford.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7MCB - The Belfast Telegraph is a daily newspaper published in Belfast, Northern Ireland, by Independent News & Media.
It was first published as the Belfast Evening Telegraph on 1 September 1870 by brothers William and George Baird. Its first edition cost half a penny and ran to four pages covering the Franco-Prussian war and local news.
The evening edition of the newspaper was originally called the Sixth Late, and Sixth Late Tele was a familiar cry made by vendors in Belfast City Centre in the past.
Its competitors are The News Letter and The Irish News but the local editions of the London-based red tops are also competitors, selling at a cheaper price than the 'Tele'.
The Belfast Telegraph was entirely broadsheet until 19 February 2005, when the Saturday morning edition was introduced and all Saturday editions were converted to compact. The weekday morning Compact Edition, launched on 22 March 2005, struggled to replicate the evening newspaper's success. Its editorial content has been much more tabloid, with a greater entertainment story count than the evening paper. Much prominence is given to English-based sport, and some general features and columns are shared with The Independent and Irish Independent.
The paper now publishes two editions daily, Belfast Telegraph final edition and the North West Telegraph which is distributed in Derry.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4545016881 - 'Khan, my friendly local traditional newsagent and tobaconist. He is quite a walk away just over the swing bridge in Latchford village and I sometimes see him on the only day that I occasionally buy a paper, Saturday. It\u2019s usually one with lots of supplements I buy with a bit of a TV and events review guide in it.
Thinking back over ten years or more I used to have three paper shops within 10 minutes walk
two on Knutsford road and Old cantankerous Malcolm Sissins in Lindi Avenue. In fact on originally looking for a house in the area I encountered 'Sissons' on the parade of shops that included a tiny sub-post office, hair salon (Flair, which is currently on the market www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-27655238.h... and small part time doctors surgery.
I walked into his newsagents which was full of untidy piles of paper and often out of date confectionary and he sold me a chocolate bar. On asking where I might buy a sandwich round here, he suggested 'shop next door'. On walking out and into the next door along, Malcolm appeared at the counter and said 'Hello, how can I help?'. A bit surreal to say the least.
Malcolm did have a big toy grotto and fishing supplies section at the back which customers were only allowed to visit on an escorted basis. After moving into Lindi Avenue myself and having regular papers from the shop did I learn some of the eccentricities. As Malcolm got even older he would only open half the shop at once, forcing customers to leave and re-enter by the street, although there was a passage between. School children (of which there could be many from the local primary) would be admitted one at a time. Late payment for delivered papers would incur an instant fine, while his reputation as being a difficult boss made it difficult to get and keep decent paper boys and girls. His biggest crime (noticed by Colin a yorkshireman, a good friend who shamefully I have not seen for yonks since he moved up near Durham) was when buying his boiled sweets loose from jars, Malcolm actually weighed the paper bag too!
Sadly, cantankerous though he was, he is now just a memory as an estimated ten UK local newsagents go under each week. Suburban supermarkets and coffee shops (Starbucks even selling daily papers now in some places) are picking away at their trade. Khan now has a Co-Op over the road, now selling papers too. In a daily Telegraph article, Starbucks denied it had any part to play in the decline in newsagents. A spokesman said: \u201cWe\u2019re wholly committed to enhancing each of our customers\u2019 unique Starbucks experiences and the availability of a daily national newspaper adds to that overall experience.\u201d
Although I might use the ATM cash machine in the co-op, I always get my paper at Khan's. That\u2019s where I have my 'Newspaper shop Experience'.

Do you ever wonder about the vendor?
Ever look them in the eye? Wonder where they live? How your 90p or a pound helps?
Back in 1995 where I lived in Warrington, the local county council would not authorise its sale. Therefore nobody saw anyone selling it on the streets. Easy for everyone to assume there is no homelessness problem.

More about 'The Big Issue'...
The Big Issue is a street newspaper published in eight countries
it is written by professional journalists and sold by homeless individuals. It was founded by John Bird and Gordon Roddick in September 1991. The Big Issue is one of the UK's leading social businesses and exists to offer homeless people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income, thereby helping them to reintegrate into mainstream society. It is also the world's most widely circulated street newspaper.
To become a vendor, one must be homeless or vulnerably housed or marginalised in some way. The Big Issue recognises, however, that for many people, being housed is only the first stage in getting off the streets
therefore, The Big Issue Foundation exists to support vendors in gaining control of their lives by tackling the various issues which lead to homelessness.
The Big Issue has been described as one of the most successful street newspapers worldwide, selling over 300,000 copies a week and listed as the third-favourite newspaper of young British people (age 15 to 24) in 2001.
There are 5 localised editions of the magazine sold throughout the United Kingdom and vendors buy The Big Issue for 85p[7] and sell it for \u00a31.70. The magazine is also produced and sold in Australia, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Japan, Namibia, Kenya, Malawi and Taiwan. All vendors receive training, sign a code of conduct] and can be identified by badges which include their photo and vendor number

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3C4CY34 - This carefully observed stock photograph records The Irish Catholic newspaper, Bishop warns against rise of the far-right, in Ireland. The row metadata places the subject at The Irish Catholic newspaper, Bishop warns against rise of the far-right, in Ireland. The spreadsheet date indicates 19 July 2025, so the picture can also work as a time-specific archive record. Plainly, the image is useful because it shows Ireland, Irish, Catholics, rightwing, wing, right, fascists, rise of the far-right, with search-relevant terms including Ireland, Irish, Catholics, rightwing, wing, right, fascists, rise of the far-right, rise, far, Southern, Republic, unrest, religion. The value lies in the combination of place, object, wording and context, giving editors something specific and grounded rather than generic filler imagery. Dublin is both a historic capital and a modern European city, where tourism, housing pressure, transport, politics, culture and the River Liffey all shape how the city is understood in contemporary reporting. The image can support political and civic reporting where the point is not just party branding or protest imagery, but the way public debate appears in streets, media, posters, campaign signs and everyday visual culture. The image can work as a lead picture, a supporting cutaway, a contextual inset or a visual metaphor for wider stories about place, services, consumer behaviour, heritage, transport, culture and public life. Historically and socially, this kind of image can help connect past and present: older streets, civic institutions, transport systems, shops, signs, political messages or public services are not frozen museum pieces, but part of how people understand modern life, local identity and economic change. For SEO and stock-photo discovery, the description deliberately supports searches around the named location, documentary photography.
