Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6FM - The Star and Garter is a historic public house and long-established grassroots live music venue located on Fairfield Street in Ardwick, Manchester, at 18?20 Fairfield Street, Manchester M1 2QF. The building occupies a prominent corner site close to Manchester Piccadilly Station, an area historically shaped by rail infrastructure, warehouses and working-city activity.
Constructed in Victorian red brick with ornate stone detailing, the pub's distinctive architecture reflects late nineteenth-century urban development in Manchester, when public houses functioned not only as drinking establishments but as important social and cultural meeting places. Architectural features visible in the image include arched windows, decorative cornices and prominent corner signage identifying both the venue and the surrounding street.
Beyond its architectural significance, the Star and Garter has earned national recognition for its role in Manchester's alternative and independent music culture. Over several decades it has operated as a key grassroots venue, hosting live performances spanning post-punk, indie, experimental, noise and DIY music scenes. The venue is widely regarded as an essential testing ground for emerging bands and touring underground acts, contributing to Manchester's reputation as a city with a deep and continually evolving music heritage.
In recent years, venues such as the Star and Garter have also come to symbolise broader debates around the future of independent cultural spaces, rising urban land values, and the pressures faced by small live-music venues within regenerating city centres. As such, the building represents not just a pub or concert space, but a wider narrative about cultural survival, community identity and the importance of grassroots infrastructure within the UK's creative industries.
Photographed in daylight with street signage and surrounding urban context visible, the image documents the physical presence of the Star and Garter

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP32G - The exterior of the Coleraine Chronicle newspaper offices at 2 Lodge Road in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The signage identifies the premises of one of Northern Ireland's long-established local newspapers, which has played a significant role in reporting community, civic, and regional affairs in the Coleraine area and the wider Causeway Coast.
The Coleraine Chronicle has historically covered local government, courts, sport, business, and community life, reflecting the traditional role of the provincial press as a record of everyday events as well as major local news. Like many regional newspapers across the UK and Ireland, it has operated through periods of major change in the media industry, including the decline of print advertising and the shift toward digital news consumption.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents the physical presence of local journalism within a Northern Irish town, illustrating how small newspaper offices remain embedded in local streetscapes. It serves as a visual reference for themes of regional media, press history, community reporting, and the changing economics of local news.

Above the entrance is the Latin motto Audi Vide Tace, meaning Hear, See, Be Silent, a phrase traditionally associated with Freemasonry and reflecting values of discretion, observation, and reflection. The architecture and iconography identify the building as a meeting place for members of the Masonic fraternity, which has had a long presence in Northern Ireland's social and civic life.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents a historic fraternal organisation's physical presence within Coleraine's urban landscape.

The modern shopfront-style premises display clear exterior signage and welcome branding, indicating a public-facing service accessible from the town centre.
Causeway Rural and Urban Network works within the voluntary and community sector, supporting individuals and communities across the Causeway Coast and Glens area. The organisation forms part of the wider network of charities and third-sector bodies that provide advice, support, and social inclusion services alongside statutory provision.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents the everyday presence of community organisations within Northern Irish town centres, illustrating how former commercial units are increasingly used to deliver charitable and social support services. It reflects the changing function of high-street premises and the growing visibility of the voluntary sector in local urban environments. Causeway Rural and Urban Network (CRUN) has delivered a range of practical, community-focused projects across Northern Ireland, particularly in the Causeway Coast and Glens area, aimed at tackling social exclusion and supporting people facing disadvantage. Its work has included rural and urban community support programmes, employability and skills initiatives, and digital inclusion projects helping people access online services, benefits and training. CRUN has also been involved in poverty and food-security responses, supporting food-bank style provision and crisis assistance, alongside wellbeing and social-isolation projects for older people and vulnerable adults. Many of its projects have focused on reaching individuals who struggle to engage with statutory services, using accessible town-centre bases and outreach work to provide advice, confidence-building and pathways into further support, education etc

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP331 - A close view of the exterior signage of the former Dixons department store on Church Street in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The raised lettering reading Dixons of Coleraine is mounted against a light stone facade, marking the location of a once well-known town centre department store.
Dixons was part of Coleraine's traditional high street retail landscape, reflecting a period when independent or regionally recognised department stores formed the commercial backbone of Northern Irish towns. The remaining signage provides a visual trace of that era, even after the store itself has ceased trading.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents retail change and decline in town centres, capturing how historic shop names and architectural details persist as reminders of past commercial activity. It is suitable for illustrating themes of high street transformation, retail heritage, and the shifting nature of local economies across the UK and Ireland. Like many provincial department stores, it was built on personal service, loyal custom and a business model that depended on steady footfall and long-term relationships rather than rapid turnover. Its decline was not the result of a single misstep, but of sustained structural change: increasing competition from national chains, the rise of out-of-town retail parks, falling town-centre footfall, rising operating costs, and later the disruptive impact of online shopping. For the owning family, these pressures were compounded by the realities of succession. Continuing the business would have required significant reinvestment, longer working hours, and acceptance of growing financial risk in a sector with diminishing returns. As with many family-run retailers, the next generation faced different career opportunities and life choices, and the balance between personal risk and reward no longer stacked up. The closure of Dixons therefore reflects not just economic decline, but the human limits

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP339 - The exterior of Moores department store in Coleraine town centre, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The prominent corner building features the name Moores displayed high on the facade, marking one of the town's best-known independent retailers, established in Coleraine in 1925.
The store occupies a large, traditional town centre premises with period architectural detailing, wide display windows, and a curved corner frontage that makes it a recognisable local landmark. Pedestrians pass along the shopping street, with hanging flower baskets and street lighting contributing to the everyday commercial atmosphere of the town centre.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents the continuing presence of long-established independent retail in Northern Ireland towns, at a time when many traditional department stores have disappeared from the high street. It provides a visual record of Coleraine's retail heritage and the role such businesses play in sustaining town centre identity, employment, and local economic life. Moores was established during the inter-war period, a time when Coleraine was a growing commercial hub for the north-west of Ulster. Like many provincial department stores of the era, Moores developed as a locally owned, family-run business, serving both the town and its rural hinterland.
Its business model followed the classic early 20th-century department store format:
clothing and footwear
household goods
fabrics and haberdashery
This positioned Moores as a practical, aspirational retailer for everyday life rather than a luxury outlet.
Post-war expansion and consolidation (1950s?1970s)
After the Second World War, Moores expanded alongside changing consumer expectations. During this period:
department stores became central to town-centre life
shopping shifted from necessity to experience
window displays, seasonal ranges, and fashion departments grew in importance

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP33B - A full-length bronze statue of Bertie Peacock, the celebrated Northern Irish footballer, stands in Coleraine town centre, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The sculpture depicts Peacock in mid-stride with a football at his feet, capturing the movement and athleticism associated with his playing career and long-standing contribution to the sport.
The statue is positioned within a pedestrianised shopping area, with modern shopfronts and town centre businesses forming the surrounding backdrop. This placement situates the memorial firmly within everyday civic life, reflecting Peacock's strong local connection to Coleraine and his enduring status as a respected sporting figure within the community.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents how public art and sporting heritage intersect in Northern Irish towns, using commemorative sculpture to celebrate local achievement and identity. The statue serves as both a cultural landmark and a reminder of Coleraine's contribution to football history, blending sport, place, and community memory within the contemporary urban streetscape. In June 2006 a statue of Peacock was commissioned. The memorial stands in Coleraine and was unveiled by Pat Jennings in July 2007, at the opening of the 25th Milk Cup. Peacock became Northern Ireland manager a year after his retirement as a footballer in 1961, giving George Best his first start. In the 1960s he returned to Coleraine, winning the Irish League title in 1974. Peacock briefly came out of retirement when he came on as a substitute against Shamrock Rovers in the Texaco Cup in September 1971. It was his last game for Coleraine as they lost 3?0 at The Showgrounds (Coleraine).
He was also assistant manager to Billy Bingham during Northern Ireland's 1982 World Cup campaign, where they famously knocked out hosts Spain in Valencia

The store forms a prominent part of Coleraine's waterside commercial area, with car parking and pedestrian access integrated along the river frontage. Dunnes Stores is a well-established retailer across Ireland and the UK, combining grocery, clothing, and household goods under one brand, and this location serves as a major shopping destination for Coleraine and the surrounding Causeway Coast region.
Photographed in natural daylight with the river in the foreground, the image documents modern retail development in a Northern Irish town, illustrating the shift towards larger out-of-town or edge-of-centre retail environments and their relationship with urban regeneration and waterfront landscapes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXAD - A wide view across the Bogside area of Derry / Londonderry, showing the cleared site of the former Bogside Inn, now an open and undeveloped plot within a dense residential neighbourhood. The empty ground contrasts with surrounding rows of terraced and social housing that climb the hillside beyond, highlighting patterns of demolition, change, and redevelopment within the inner city.
The Bogside is one of the most historically significant areas of Derry, closely associated with major events of the late twentieth century, including civil rights protests and the Troubles. Buildings such as the Bogside Inn formed part of the everyday social infrastructure of the area, and their removal reflects longer-term shifts in population, land use, and urban regeneration priorities.
Photographed in daylight under overcast skies, the image captures a transitional urban landscape where cleared land sits alongside established housing. The photograph is suitable for editorial and commercial uses illustrating urban regeneration, post-industrial and post-conflict cityscapes, housing policy, land reuse, and the physical legacy of social and political change in Northern Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGHXB0 - A large, brightly coloured mural promoting Faith Hope Charity, painted on the side of a small brick building in The Fountain, a predominantly loyalist residential area of Derry / Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The artwork features portraits, religious and charitable symbolism, and references to international outreach, including Ghana, alongside strong expressions of British identity. A large Union flag painted on an adjacent wall reinforces the cultural and political context of the neighbourhood.
The Fountain is one of the oldest inhabited areas of the city and is well known for its distinct community identity and extensive use of murals and painted symbols as expressions of heritage, belief, and local values. Murals in this area often combine themes of religion, charity, history, and identity, serving both as community statements and as visual markers within the urban landscape.
Photographed in daylight under overcast skies, the image captures the mural's bold colours contrasted against the surrounding residential environment. The photograph is suitable for editorial and commercial uses illustrating Northern Irish mural culture, community identity, charitable organisations, peace and reconciliation contexts, and the continuing role of public art in expressing local narratives within divided or post-conflict urban settings.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R3YB25 - The British Rail Class 710 Aventra is a type of electric multiple unit passenger train built by Bombardier Transportation for use on the London Overground network. The trains are part of Bombardier's Aventra family. The contract to provide 45 four-car trains was awarded in July 2015 and the trains were originally due to enter service in May 2018, although introduction was delayed until May 2019
In 2012, Transport for London announced its intention to procure a fleet of new, longer DMUs, as the Class 172 units then in service were unable to handle the passenger demand, causing overcrowding throughout the day. TfL issued a tender for manufacturers to supply eight three- or four-car trains.[3] However, this proposal was subsequently shelved when the Government announced in June 2013 that the Gospel Oak to Barking line would be electrified,[4] with proposals instead to purchase a fleet of new EMUs.
TfL invited expressions of interest for a total of 39 four-car EMUs in April 2014, with 30 required for the Lea Valley Lines, eight for the Gospel Oak to Barking line, and one for the Romford?Upminster line - all of which have replaced Class 315 and Class 317 trains dating from the 1980s, and Class 172 trains dating from 2010.[5] Since then the planned procurement was increased to 45 four-car EMUs, with the additional six units intended for the Watford DC Line. The intention is that the five-car Class 378 trains currently used on the Watford DC line will be cascaded back to the North London line and East London Lines to allow for strengthened services

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDHN - Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned Grade II* listed coal-fired power station, located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The architects were J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages, in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built between 1929 and 1935 and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. Battersea B was built to a design nearly identical to that of Battersea A, creating the iconic four-chimney structure.
Battersea A was decommissioned in 1975. In 1980 the whole structure was given Grade II listed status
Battersea B shut three years later. In 2007 its listed status was upgraded to Grade II*. The building remained empty until 2014, during which time it fell into near ruin. Various plans were made to make use of the building, but none were successful. In 2012, administrators Ernst & Young entered into an exclusivity agreement with Malaysia's S P Setia and Sime Darby to develop the site to include 253 residential units, bars, restaurants, office space (occupied by Apple and No. 18 business members club), shops and entertainment spaces. The plans were approved and redevelopment commenced a few years later. As of 2021, the building and the overall 42-acre (17 ha) site development is owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WDT2 - Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned Grade II* listed coal-fired power station, located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The architects were J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages, in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built between 1929 and 1935 and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. Battersea B was built to a design nearly identical to that of Battersea A, creating the iconic four-chimney structure.
Battersea A was decommissioned in 1975. In 1980 the whole structure was given Grade II listed status
Battersea B shut three years later. In 2007 its listed status was upgraded to Grade II*. The building remained empty until 2014, during which time it fell into near ruin. Various plans were made to make use of the building, but none were successful. In 2012, administrators Ernst & Young entered into an exclusivity agreement with Malaysia's S P Setia and Sime Darby to develop the site to include 253 residential units, bars, restaurants, office space (occupied by Apple and No. 18 business members club), shops and entertainment spaces. The plans were approved and redevelopment commenced a few years later. As of 2021, the building and the overall 42-acre (17 ha) site development is owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R7A3WE - This image shows a wide, panoramic view within Highgate Cemetery in North London, with visitors seated beside historic graves along a gently curving path. Stone crosses and memorial monuments line the edge of the walkway, while mature trees and dense greenery frame the scene, reinforcing the cemetery's distinctive woodland character.
Highgate Cemetery is notable not only as a Victorian burial ground but also as a valued green space where remembrance, history, and everyday life intersect. The presence of people sitting quietly together reflects the cemetery's contemporary role as a place for reflection, conversation, and calm, as well as mourning.
The contrast between living visitors and historic memorials highlights the layered nature of the site, where nineteenth-century funerary art coexists with modern use. This balance between preservation and accessibility has helped shape Highgate's reputation as both a heritage landmark and a peaceful urban retreat.
Photographed in soft daylight, the image captures the relaxed, contemplative atmosphere that distinguishes Highgate Cemetery from more formal burial grounds. It is well suited for editorial use illustrating London green spaces, cemetery culture, heritage landscapes, and the human relationship with historic places of remembrance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R7A41N - This photograph shows a section of Highgate Cemetery in North London, featuring a variety of Victorian grave markers and memorial headstones set among dense greenery. The graves range in style and age, with upright headstones, carved stone monuments, and crosses visible across the sloping, wooded landscape.
Highgate Cemetery is internationally recognised for its historic significance, atmospheric setting, and rich collection of nineteenth-century funerary art. Opened in 1839, it reflects Victorian attitudes to death, remembrance, religion, and social status, while its semi-wild management allows vegetation to grow freely around many memorials.
The presence of wild plants, shrubs, and mature trees softens the stonework and creates a distinctive balance between commemoration and nature. This interaction between human memory and natural growth has become one of Highgate Cemetery's defining characteristics, contributing to its romantic and slightly gothic reputation.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image captures the quiet, reflective atmosphere of the cemetery and its role as both a place of remembrance and a significant heritage landscape within London. It is well suited for editorial use illustrating Victorian burial practices, historic cemeteries, London heritage, and themes of mortality, memory, and time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R7A42R - This photograph shows a group of stone crosses and grave monuments set among lush vegetation in Highgate Cemetery, one of London's most historically significant Victorian burial grounds. The memorials include a variety of cross designs, from simple Latin crosses to more elaborate Celtic forms, reflecting the religious symbolism and artistic styles commonly used in nineteenth-century funerary sculpture.
Highgate Cemetery is renowned for its wooded setting and the way nature has gradually reclaimed many of its monuments. Ivy, wild grasses, and mature trees surround the graves, softening the stonework and creating a distinctive atmosphere that blends memorial art with a natural landscape. This balance between preservation and natural growth contributes to the cemetery's romantic and slightly gothic character.
Stone crosses were widely used in Victorian cemeteries to express Christian faith, hope of resurrection, and remembrance.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23AX - A historic parish boundary marker set into a red brick wall on Highgate High Street in Highgate, north London. The stone displays the inscription Hornsey Parish 1859 beneath an earlier plaque marked S P ?? P 1791, reflecting successive phases of local administrative and parish history.
Such markers were used to denote historic parish boundaries and responsibilities, dating from a period when parishes played a central role in local governance, poor relief, and civic organisation before the development of modern London boroughs. Hornsey Parish once covered a wide area of what is now north London, including parts of Highgate.
Photographed in close-up, the image documents a surviving fragment of London's pre-modern administrative landscape. It highlights how traces of historic governance remain embedded within everyday streetscapes, offering insight into the layered history of local boundaries, identity, and urban development in the capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23BK - A close-up view of a cast iron street grid bearing the raised lettering Borough of Hornsey and the manufacturer's mark J Gibb & Co, London. The surface shows extensive weathering and rust, with traces of blue paint remaining within the diamond-patterned ironwork, highlighting the long service life of traditional municipal infrastructure.
The Borough of Hornsey existed as a local authority until its abolition in 1965, when it was merged into the London Borough of Haringey. Street furniture marked with its name represents a surviving fragment of pre-Greater London administrative history. J Gibb & Co was among the manufacturers supplying cast iron covers and grids to London boroughs during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when local authorities commonly specified their own branded infrastructure.
Photographed tightly to emphasise texture, colour, and typography, the image functions both as documentary evidence of historic local government and as an abstract study of industrial materials. It is suitable for illustrating themes of London's municipal past, industrial manufacturing, urban archaeology, and the physical traces of former borough identities embedded in everyday streetscapes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23BR - A traditional street sign for Spaniards Road in Hampstead, north London, displaying the road name and the NW3 postcode district. The sign features black tiled lettering set within a wooden frame and is mounted in front of a brick wall with surrounding greenery, giving it a slightly rustic, historic appearance.
Spaniards Road runs along the edge of Hampstead Heath and forms part of the boundary area between Hampstead and Highgate. The road is historically associated with the surrounding heathland, long-established residential properties, and nearby landmarks, including the well-known Spaniards Inn.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents everyday London wayfinding and neighbourhood identity. It is suitable for illustrating themes of London geography, place names, urban history, and the character of north London's streets and conservation areas.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23BW - A weathered metal access sign on Hampstead Heath displaying the words Access to Horse Ride for Permit Holders Only beneath the crest of the Corporation of London. The sign regulates entry to a designated equestrian route across the heath, limiting use to authorised riders holding official permits.
Hampstead Heath is managed by the Corporation of London, one of the UK's oldest municipal authorities, which oversees conservation, public access, and traditional land uses across the historic open space. Horse riding remains a permitted but controlled activity on parts of the heath, reflecting long-standing recreational practices balanced against environmental protection.
Photographed in natural daylight with surrounding vegetation visible, the image documents everyday regulation of public green space in London. It illustrates themes of access control, historic land management, equestrian activity, and the quiet presence of institutional authority within a natural urban landscape. In Insomnia by Faithless, the references often discussed by fans to Hampstead Heath and the provocative line about ripping off tights with my teeth sit within Maxi Jazz's deliberately raw, nocturnal stream-of-consciousness delivery rather than a literal narrative. The Heath is widely read as shorthand for late-night London freedom, restlessness and transgressive after-hours life, a place associated with wandering, desire and sleepless introspection rather than polite daylight London. The sexualised imagery is not pornographic but symbolic, expressing tension, frustration and craving in the small hours when the city's rules loosen and impulse takes over. In that sense, the lyric reinforces the song's core theme: insomnia as a state where desire, anxiety and urban mythology blur together, with London itself acting as an emotional landscape rather than a precise setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23BX - A Kelly Communications engineering van towing a large cable drum trailer during telecommunications works in north London. The vehicle and equipment indicate active cabling or network installation work, with the cable drum commonly used for laying fibre-optic or copper telecommunications lines along public roads.
Kelly Communications operates as a subcontractor within the UK telecoms sector, carrying out installation and maintenance work for major network operators such as BT and Openreach. Scenes like this reflect the largely unseen everyday activity required to maintain and expand fixed-line and broadband networks across urban areas.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents routine infrastructure work taking place within a residential street environment. It illustrates themes of digital connectivity, outsourced engineering services, and the practical realities behind nationwide broadband and communications provision in the United Kingdom.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23BY - The entrance gate to Hampstead Quaker Meeting House, located on Heath Street in Hampstead, north London. The arched gateway bearing the words Friends Meeting House opens onto a quiet garden path leading to the meeting house itself, creating a sense of separation from the surrounding street.
Quaker meeting houses are deliberately plain and functional, reflecting the values of the Religious Society of Friends, which emphasises simplicity, equality, and silent worship without clergy or ritual. The signage at the entrance provides information about meetings for worship and the Quaker approach to faith, underlining the building's role as both a place of spiritual gathering and a community resource.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents a long-established nonconformist place of worship embedded within a London neighbourhood. It illustrates themes of religious diversity, quiet spirituality, and the presence of historic faith communities within the urban fabric of north London.

The sign displays the NW3 postcode district and directs pedestrians towards Hampstead Square and the local church, reflecting the area's historic village layout and pedestrian routes.
Elm Row is a small, characterful passage within Hampstead village, linking Heath Street with nearby civic and religious spaces. The combination of the painted street sign, aged brickwork and post box illustrates layers of everyday urban history, where wayfinding, communication infrastructure and architecture coexist within a compact streetscape.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents local identity and continuity in one of north London's best-known neighbourhoods. It is suitable for editorial use relating to London geography, historic streets, neighbourhood life, and the small details that define place and community.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23C2 - The interior of The Flask, a historic public house on Flask Walk in Hampstead, north London. The image shows the traditional bar area with dark wood panelling, shelves of wine and spirits, chalkboard menus listing beers and bar snacks, and warm pendant lighting suspended over the counter.
The Flask dates back to the early 18th century and is known for retaining much of its historic character, including period-style fittings and a layout typical of long-established London pubs. The interior reflects a balance between everyday functionality and heritage, with practical bar design sitting alongside decorative details that evoke the pub's long social history.
Photographed in natural indoor light during normal service, the image documents everyday pub life in Hampstead, illustrating themes of British pub culture, hospitality, and the continued use of historic interiors as living social spaces rather than preserved museum pieces. It is well suited for editorial use relating to London lifestyle, heritage pubs, food and drink culture, and urban social history. The Flask in Hampstead is owned by Fuller, Smith & Turner (Fuller's), one of London's best-known historic brewing companies. The pub has origins dating back to the early 18th century, when it began life as a small alehouse serving travellers on the road north out of London, taking its name from the stone flasks once used to carry spa water from nearby Hampstead wells. Over time it evolved into a substantial village public house and became embedded in Hampstead's social and literary life, frequented by writers, artists and local residents drawn to its discreet location and informal atmosphere. Despite rebuilding and refurbishment over the centuries, The Flask has retained its character as a neighbourhood pub rather than a showpiece venue, a continuity reinforced under Fuller's stewardship, which has generally favoured traditional pub identities, cask ale, and long-term community use over aggressive rebranding.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23D4 - Transport for London - TfL - Electric scooters
Rental electric scooters (e-scooters) are the only way to legally ride an e-scooter on public roads or in other public places within London - and even this is limited to specific boroughs. It is still illegal to use privately-owned e-scooters or other powered transporters on public roads.
A new form of transport
We want to explore new, environmentally-friendly forms of transport that can be used to reduce road congestion in London - but we need to make sure that any alternatives are safe for both users and non-users alike.
The current rental e-scooter trial trial is helping us test the best ways to protect the public.
Rental e-scooters have specific safety features installed. For example, they are limited to a speed of 12.5mph and have lights that are always on throughout any rental.
Our current trial of rental e-scooters is expected to run to autumn 2023. We are currently running a competitive procurement process for the new phase of London's rental e-scooter trial, and operators will be selected on their ability to meet strict safety requirements and high operating standards.
Use electric scooters legally
The London e-scooter rental scheme is approved by the Department for Transport (DfT).
Privately-owned e-scooters or other powered transporters are not legal to use on public roads.
E-scooters and powered transporters may be used on private land with permission from the landowner or occupier but several laws make it illegal and/or spell out the penalties if you're caught riding one on public roads

Originally constructed for non-residential use, the building has since been converted into private apartments, a common pattern in Hampstead where historic structures have been adapted for contemporary residential living. Its location on New End places it within one of Hampstead's conservation areas, characterised by a mix of village-scale streets, period buildings and long-established residential use.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents the reuse of historic architecture within London's housing stock. It illustrates themes of heritage preservation, adaptive reuse, and the continuing demand for residential space within established north London neighbourhoods. Features : Red brick facade with white stone detailing, Central entrance with classical pediment
Symmetrical sash windows
Residential conversion signage by form and use. Kendalls Hall at 8 New End, Hampstead is a substantial late-Georgian / early-Victorian institutional building whose formal red-brick fa??ade and classical detailing reflect its original use for organised communal or educational purposes rather than private housing. Like many large buildings in Hampstead, it was later rendered obsolete by changes in social provision and land use, and during the 20th century was converted into private apartments, a process that preserved its external architectural character while adapting the interior for residential living. Today the building stands as a typical example of Hampstead's pattern of adaptive reuse, where former institutional architecture has been absorbed into the area's residential fabric, retaining a strong visual link to history

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23DB - A Transport for London digital service information display inside Hampstead Underground Station in north London. The screen provides real-time updates on network conditions, listing reduced service on the London Overground, minor delays on the Bakerloo and Jubilee lines, and a general message indicating good service on all other lines.
Such information displays are a key feature of the modern London Underground, designed to keep passengers informed of disruptions, delays, and operational changes across the network. Positioned within station interiors, they form part of TfL's wider passenger-information system, supporting daily commuter travel and visitor navigation.
Photographed under station lighting, the image documents everyday public-transport communication in London, illustrating how real-time digital signage is integrated into historic Underground environments. It is suitable for editorial use relating to urban transport, commuting, infrastructure management, and contemporary life on the London Underground.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RADRX1 - Milton Keynes Central railway station serves Milton Keynes and surrounding parts of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire (England). The station is located on the West Coast Main Line about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of London. The station is served by Avanti West Coast intercity services, and by West Midlands Trains regional services.
This is the principal station for the city, one of seven serving the Milton Keynes urban area. Milton Keynes Central, which opened on 17 May 1982, is by far the busiest and most important of these, as well as being the largest in terms of platforms in use, having overtaken Bletchley when platforms 2A and 6 became operational.
Milton Keynes Central has a total of seven platforms. Platforms 1 and 3 are the south and northbound slow platforms, while 4 and 6 are the south and northbound fast platforms. Platforms 2 and 5 are reversible, being slow and fast respectively. Platform 2 is used mainly by terminating stopping services from London Euston, whilst platforms 1 and 3 are used by West Midlands Trains services between Euston and Northampton, Birmingham New Street or Crewe. Platforms 4, 5 and 6 are used by Avanti West Coast inter-city express services between London and the West Midlands, north Wales, the north-west or Scotland.
Platform 2A is a five-car south-facing bay platform, originally intended for the extension of Marston Vale Line services from Bedford into Milton Keynes Central this proposal no longer appears in plans for East West Rail, being replaced by a planned service to/from Oxford or Aylesbury (see below). Meanwhile, platform 2A is used only by exception when additional platform capacity is needed, such as when there is a service delay. To the north of the station the six lines reduce to four (two slow and two fast) and there is a mile of five-track running to the south before this also reduces back to four.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KG3JCN - London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Jubilee Class 5596 (BR number 45596) Bahamas is a preserved British steam locomotive. It is named after The Bahamas.
The locomotive was built as a standard Jubilee Class in 1934 by the North British Locomotive Company for the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). In May 1961, under the ownership of British Railways, Bahamas was the recipient of several experimental modifications aimed at improving the steam engine. In July 1966, Bahamas was withdrawn from traffic. A preservation society was founded and raised the money to purchase it from British Rail to prevent it from being scrapped. After repairs by the Hunslet Engine Company in Leeds Bahamas was transported to Dinting Railway Museum, near Glossop, Derbyshire.
After British Rail's ban on steam locomotives ended, Bahamas was permitted to run on the national rail network. In October 1972, Bahamas hauled its first excursion special, proving there was public demand. A year later, it was removed from service when its boiler certificate expired. In 1988, it returned to steam after overhaul. It was withdrawn from mainline use after its ticket expired. Between 1997 and 2013, Bahamas alternated between public displays and storage. Another overhaul began during 2013 and the locomotive returned to mainline operations in early 2019

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJG088 - On 14 June 2017, a high-rise fire broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell Tower block of flats in North Kensington, West London, at 00:54 BST. 72 people died, including two who later died in hospital, with more than 70 others being injured and 223 people escaping. It was the deadliest structural fire in the United Kingdom since the 1988 Piper Alpha oil-platform disaster and the worst UK residential fire since World War II.
The fire was started by an electrical fault in a refrigerator on the fourth floor. It spread rapidly up the building's exterior, bringing fire and smoke to all the residential floors. This was due to the building's new cladding and the external insulation, since the air gap between them enabled the stack effect. The fire burned for about 60 hours before finally being extinguished. More than 250 London Fire Brigade firefighters and 70 fire engines from stations across London were involved in efforts to control the fire and rescue residents. More than 100 London Ambulance Service crews on at least 20 ambulances attended the scene, joined by specialist paramedics from the Ambulance Service's Hazardous Area Response Team. The Metropolitan Police and London's Air Ambulance also assisted the rescue effort.
Five years after 72 people lost their lives in the Grenfell Tower fire, which broke out on June 14, 2017, the UK government has announced plans to ban the type of cladding used to cover the external walls of the North Kensington high-rise. These revised building regulations are to be put into effect in December 2022.
The inquiry into the disaster concluded, in its first report in 2019, that this cladding ? polyethylene-filled aluminium composite panels, to be specific ? was responsible for the fire spreading so quickly..

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K16AT8 - King's Cross St Pancras (also known as King's Cross & St Pancras International) is a London Underground station on Euston Road in the Borough of Camden, Central London. It serves King's Cross and St Pancras main line stations in fare zone 1, and is an interchange between six Underground lines. The station was one of the first to open on the network. As of 2021, it is the most used station on the network for passenger entrances and exits combined.
The station opened in 1863 as part of the Metropolitan Railway, subsequently catering for the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines. It was expanded in 1868 with the opening of the City Widened Lines, and the Northern and Piccadilly platforms opened in the early 20th century. During the 1930s and 1940s, the station was restructured and partially rebuilt to cater for expanded traffic. The Victoria line connection opened in 1968. The 1987 King's Cross fire that killed 31 people is one of the deadliest accidents to occur on the Underground and resulted in widespread safety improvements and changes throughout the network. The station was extensively rebuilt in the early 21st century to cater for Eurostar services that moved from Waterloo to St Pancras, reopening in 2007.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K16AW8 - Camden Collective is a registered charity offering free hot-desking space and subsidised offices for creative start-ups in the heart of Camden Town. We take on temporary leases of empty building and bring them back to life, filling them with an ever-growing community of creative young people. We give start-ups the chance to take risks, experiment, and grow in a low-cost way.
The Collective journey started 10 years ago. Since 2009, it has occupied 18 spaces and has introduced various projects, such as: pop-up shops, free courses, accelerators, commissioning public realm projects, free events, and the Camden Create Festival. We have an evolving model, but our community of like-minded individuals are at the heart of what we do, as well as the entrepreneurs and stakeholders who help us to grow and support our next exciting stages of development.
Camden Collective is run by Camden Town Unlimited, the Business Improvement District for Camden Town. In the past, we relied on grants and raising revenue to keep up our activities. Now we're fully self-sufficient, with income from lockable offices paying for free hot-desking, running costs of the project, and any renovations needed to maintain our hub, or create new ones
Camden Collective is just one of Camden Town Unlimited's forward-thinking projects. We're the same team that's behind the Camden Highline
a project transforming the disused railway between Camden Town and King's Cross, and Euston Town
a business improvement district with a focus on air quality, transport and identity. We're also the co-founders of Alternative Camden
a new type of innovation district for Camden.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M1MD6E - Regent's Canal is a canal across an area just north of central London, England. It provides a link from the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal, 550 yards (500 m) north-west of Paddington Basin in the west, to the Limehouse Basin and the River Thames in east London. The canal is 8.6 miles (13.8 km) long
First proposed by Thomas Homer in 1802 as a link from the Paddington arm of the then Grand Junction Canal (opened in 1801) with the River Thames at Limehouse, the Regent's Canal was built during the early 19th century after an Act of Parliament was passed in 1812. Noted architect and town planner John Nash was a director of the company
in 1811 he had produced a masterplan for George IV, then Prince Regent, to redevelop a large area of central north London ? as a result, the Regent's Canal was included in the scheme, running for part of its distance along the northern edge of Regent's Park.
As with many Nash projects, the detailed design was passed to one of his assistants, in this case James Morgan, who was appointed chief engineer of the canal company. Work began on 14 October 1812. The first section from Paddington to Camden Town opened in 1816 and included a 251-metre (274 yd) long tunnel under Maida Hill east of an area now known as 'Little Venice', and a much shorter tunnel, just 48 metres (52 yd) long, under Lisson Grove. The Camden to Limehouse section, including the 886-metre (969 yd) long Islington Tunnel and the Regent's Canal Dock (used to transfer cargo from seafaring vessels to canal barges ? today known as Limehouse Basin), opened four years later on 1 August 1820. Various intermediate basins were also constructed (e.g.: Cumberland Basin to the east of Regent's Park, Battlebridge Basin (close to King's Cross, London) and City Road Basin). Many other basins such as Wenlock Basin, Kingsland Basin, St. Pancras Stone and Coal Basin, and one in front of the Great Northern Railway's Granary were also built, and some of these survive.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M1MD7G - Regent's Canal is a canal across an area just north of central London, England. It provides a link from the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal, 550 yards (500 m) north-west of Paddington Basin in the west, to the Limehouse Basin and the River Thames in east London. The canal is 8.6 miles (13.8 km) long
First proposed by Thomas Homer in 1802 as a link from the Paddington arm of the then Grand Junction Canal (opened in 1801) with the River Thames at Limehouse, the Regent's Canal was built during the early 19th century after an Act of Parliament was passed in 1812. Noted architect and town planner John Nash was a director of the company
in 1811 he had produced a masterplan for George IV, then Prince Regent, to redevelop a large area of central north London ? as a result, the Regent's Canal was included in the scheme, running for part of its distance along the northern edge of Regent's Park.
As with many Nash projects, the detailed design was passed to one of his assistants, in this case James Morgan, who was appointed chief engineer of the canal company. Work began on 14 October 1812. The first section from Paddington to Camden Town opened in 1816 and included a 251-metre (274 yd) long tunnel under Maida Hill east of an area now known as 'Little Venice', and a much shorter tunnel, just 48 metres (52 yd) long, under Lisson Grove. The Camden to Limehouse section, including the 886-metre (969 yd) long Islington Tunnel and the Regent's Canal Dock (used to transfer cargo from seafaring vessels to canal barges ? today known as Limehouse Basin), opened four years later on 1 August 1820. Various intermediate basins were also constructed (e.g.: Cumberland Basin to the east of Regent's Park, Battlebridge Basin (close to King's Cross, London) and City Road Basin). Many other basins such as Wenlock Basin, Kingsland Basin, St. Pancras Stone and Coal Basin, and one in front of the Great Northern Railway's Granary were also built, and some of these survive.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JGAW27 - The Midland Hotel is a grand hotel in Manchester, England. Opened in 1903, it was built by the Midland Railway to serve Manchester Central railway station, its northern terminus for its rail services to London St Pancras. It faces onto St Peter's Square. The hotel was designed by Charles Trubshaw in Edwardian Baroque style and is a Grade II* listed building.
The Midland Hotel at night
Built at the junction of Peter Street and Lower Mosley Street opposite Manchester Central railway station, terminus for Midland Railway express trains to London St Pancras, the hotel was designed by Charles Trubshaw and constructed between 1898 and 1903 for the Midland Railway Company at a cost of more than ?1 million. In 1908, The Railway News reported that the hotel had over 70,000 guests in its first year and described it as a twentieth century palace. The hotel had a 1,000-seat purpose-built theatre where opera, drama and early Annie Horniman performances were staged, and a roof terrace where a string quartet performed.
The Midland Hotel was allegedly coveted by Adolf Hitler, who maintained a keen interest in architecture, as a possible Nazi headquarters in Britain. American intelligence speculated that the area of Manchester around the town hall was spared from bombing during the Second World War so as not to damage or destroy the Midland Hotel.
Charles Rolls met Henry Royce in the Midland Hotel, leading to the formation of Rolls-Royce Limited in 1904. The Queen Mother dined in the hotel's Trafford Restaurant in November 1959 after attending a Royal Variety Performance at the Palace Theatre. The Beatles were famously refused access to the French Restaurant for being inappropriately dressed

Latchford viaduct was opened on 8 July 1893 to carry the London and North Western Railway's Stockport to Warrington line over the Manchester Ship Canal. The wrought iron viaduct, with a span of 250 feet (76 m), weighed more than 1,200 tonnes. The last passengers service ran in 1962, but the line continued to carry freight. It finally closed to all traffic in July 1985, when it was deemed too expensive to make extensive repairs to keep Latchford viaduct operational.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02F7 - King's Cross railway station, also known as London King's Cross, is a passenger railway terminus in the London Borough of Camden, on the edge of Central London. It is in the London station group, one of the busiest stations in the United Kingdom and the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line to North East England and Scotland. Adjacent to King's Cross station is St Pancras International, the London terminus for Eurostar services to continental Europe. Beneath both main line stations is King's Cross St Pancras tube station on the London Underground
combined they form one of the country's largest transport hubs.
The station was opened in Kings Cross in 1852 by the Great Northern Railway on the northern edge of Central London to accommodate the East Coast Main Line. Famous services were the Flying Scotsman and locomotives such as Mallard.
The ?500 million restoration plan announced by Network Rail in 2005 was approved by Camden London Borough Council in 2007. It involved restoring and reglazing the original arched train shed roof and removing the 1972 extension at the front of the station and replacing it with an open-air plaza

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02DJ - Euston railway station (also known as London Euston) is a central London railway terminus in the London Borough of Camden, managed by Network Rail. It is the southern terminus of the West Coast Main Line, the UK's busiest inter-city railway. Euston is the fifth-busiest station in Britain and the country's busiest inter-city passenger terminal, being the gateway from London to the West Midlands, North West England, North Wales and Scotland. Intercity express passenger services are operated by Avanti West Coast and overnight services to Scotland are provided by the Caledonian Sleeper. London Northwestern Railway and London Overground provide regional and commuter services.
From Euston, trains connect to the major cities of Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh. It is also the mainline station for services to and through to Holyhead for connecting ferries to Dublin. Local suburban services from Euston are run by London Overground via the Watford DC Line which runs parallel to the WCML as far as Watford Junction. There is an escalator link from the concourse down to Euston tube station
The station was controversially rebuilt in the mid-1960s, including the demolition of the Arch and the Great Hall, to accommodate the electrified West Coast Main Line, and the revamped station still attracts criticism over its architecture. Euston is to be the London terminus for the planned High Speed 2 railway and the station is being redeveloped to handle it.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K43P0X - The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) was the second largest (after LMS) of the Big Four railway companies created by the Railways Act 1921 in Britain. It operated from 1 January 1923 until nationalisation on 1 January 1948. At that time, it was divided into the new British Railways' Eastern Region, North Eastern Region, and partially the Scottish Region.
It covered the area north and east of London. It included the East Coast Main Line from London to Edinburgh via York and Newcastle upon Tyne and the routes from Edinburgh to Aberdeen and Inverness. Most of the country east of the Pennines was within its purview, including East Anglia. The main workshops were in Doncaster, with others at Darlington, Inverurie and Stratford, London
On the privatisation of British Rail in 1996, the franchise to run long distance express trains on the East Coast Main Line was won by Sea Containers Ltd, who named the new operating company Great North Eastern Railway (GNER), a name and initials deliberately chosen to echo the LNER.
Following the collapse of Virgin Trains East Coast in May 2018, the newly-nationalised operator of the East Coast Main Line was named London North Eastern Railway to evoke the earlier company

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RF7M0D - Manchester Piccadilly is the principal railway station in Manchester, England. Opened as Store Street in 1842, it was renamed Manchester London Road in 1847 and Manchester Piccadilly in 1960. Located to the south-east of Manchester city centre, it hosts long-distance intercity and cross-country services to national destinations including London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol and Southampton
regional services to destinations in Northern England including Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle and York
and local commuter services around Greater Manchester. It is one of 19 major stations managed by Network Rail. The station has 14 platforms, twelve terminal and two through platforms. Piccadilly is also a major interchange with the Metrolink light rail system with two tram platforms in its undercroft.
Piccadilly is the busiest station in the Manchester station group with nearly 28 million passenger entries and exits between April 2017 and March 2018, (the other major stations in Manchester are Oxford Road and Victoria). It is the fourth busiest station in the United Kingdom outside London. The station hosts services from six train operating companies. It is the second busiest interchange station outside London, with almost 3.8 million passengers changing trains annually.
Between the late 1990s and early 2000s, Piccadilly Station was refurbished, taking five years and costing ?100 million (in 2002), it was the most expensive improvement on the UK rail network at the time. Further improvements and expansion plans have been mooted. In October 2016, a Transport and Works Act application was submitted for the construction of two platforms as part of the Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Oxford Road Capacity Scheme. As of 2018, this application has not been approved by the government. To allow the station to accommodate high speed services under High Speed 2 proposals, five platforms would be required and the Metrolink station would be reconfigured.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PEHFP3 - Tanqueray is a brand of gin produced by Diageo plc and marketed worldwide. Although originated in London, it is now produced in Scotland. It does not command a sizeable market share in its native market, but its largest market is in the United States, where it is the highest selling gin import, followed by southern Europe.[1]
Tanqueray is a London dry gin
it is so called because of its distillation process, as well as originating in Bloomsbury, London. London dry gin is made by means of double distillation of grain. Botanicals are added during the second distillation. While the recipe is a closely guarded trade secret, it is known to contain four botanicals: juniper, coriander, angelica root, and liquorice.
It is one of Diageo's 16 strategic brands earmarked for prioritisation in promotion and distribution worldwide.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHB6TA - Euston is a London Underground station served by the Victoria line and both central branches of the Northern line. It directly connects with Euston main line station above it. The station is in Travelcard Zone 1.
Euston was constructed as two separate underground stations. Three of the four Northern line platforms date from the station's opening in 1907. The fourth Northern line platform and the two Victoria line platforms were constructed in the 1960s when the station was significantly altered to accommodate the Victoria line. Plans for High Speed 2 and Crossrail 2 both include proposals to modify the station to provide interchanges with the new services.
On the Northern line's Bank branch the station is between Camden Town and King's Cross St Pancras. On the Charing Cross branch it is between Mornington Crescent and Warren Street. On the Victoria line it is between Warren Street and King's Cross St. Pancras. The station is near Euston Square station allowing connections at street level to the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P307BW - Altrincham Market House: Things To Do In Manchester - A Community Revitalised? Read more at https://manchesterbites.com/things-to-do-in-manchester-altrincham-market-house/
The revival of the Altrincham Market is nothing short of remarkable. From 1290 (yes, 1290!) the market had been at the centre of community life in Altrincham. Throughout the centuries, the market would have been where townsfolk gathered to buy goods, make a living, and spend time in the company of their neighbours.
And yet, the second half of the 20th century brought a period of stagnation. With the fortunes of the town on the downturn and the population size decreasing year over year, the historic market was being run by the council with little love or care. In fact, around a decade ago, Altrincham was voted as having the worse high street in Britain.
So, what has changed?
Well, Nick Johnson came onto the scene. Nick was a property developer and saw something in Altrincham that others failed to spot. In 2013, he won the contract to run the market and quickly set about changing the face of it and in turn Altrincham.
Nick gave the Victorian building a makeover. Cleaning it from top to bottom and restoring some features that had been neglected. He then got to work contacting some of the area's best, local food vendors.
Nick did the same in Manchester city centre with the Mackie Mayor food hall, the big sister of Altrincham Market House. We previously wrote about Mackie Mayor here.
Food And Drink At Altrincham Market House
Since it reopened in 2014, locals and visitors have filled the food hall week after week, and it should come as no surprise ? the food on offer is second to none!
Market House is home to 10 indie food stalls, including Honest Crust, Wolfhouse Kitchen, Tender Cow, Jack in the Box, Reserve Wines, Great North Pie Co., Sam Joseph, and Market House Coffee.
Jack in the Box is an award-winning producer of real ale and cider that operate across the Mackie Mayor and Altrincham

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P307C1 - Altrincham Market House: Things To Do In Manchester - A Community Revitalised? Read more at https://manchesterbites.com/things-to-do-in-manchester-altrincham-market-house/
The revival of the Altrincham Market is nothing short of remarkable. From 1290 (yes, 1290!) the market had been at the centre of community life in Altrincham. Throughout the centuries, the market would have been where townsfolk gathered to buy goods, make a living, and spend time in the company of their neighbours.
And yet, the second half of the 20th century brought a period of stagnation. With the fortunes of the town on the downturn and the population size decreasing year over year, the historic market was being run by the council with little love or care. In fact, around a decade ago, Altrincham was voted as having the worse high street in Britain.
So, what has changed?
Well, Nick Johnson came onto the scene. Nick was a property developer and saw something in Altrincham that others failed to spot. In 2013, he won the contract to run the market and quickly set about changing the face of it and in turn Altrincham.
Nick gave the Victorian building a makeover. Cleaning it from top to bottom and restoring some features that had been neglected. He then got to work contacting some of the area's best, local food vendors.
Nick did the same in Manchester city centre with the Mackie Mayor food hall, the big sister of Altrincham Market House. We previously wrote about Mackie Mayor here.
Food And Drink At Altrincham Market House
Since it reopened in 2014, locals and visitors have filled the food hall week after week, and it should come as no surprise ? the food on offer is second to none!
Market House is home to 10 indie food stalls, including Honest Crust, Wolfhouse Kitchen, Tender Cow, Jack in the Box, Reserve Wines, Great North Pie Co., Sam Joseph, and Market House Coffee.
Jack in the Box is an award-winning producer of real ale and cider that operate across the Mackie Mayor and Altrincham

It is one of the 35 major centres identified in the London Plan.
Laid out as a residential district from 1791 and originally part of the manor of Kentish Town and the parish of St Pancras, London, Camden Town became an important location during the early development of the railways, which reinforced its position on the London canal network. The area's industrial economic base has been replaced by service industries such as retail, tourism and entertainment. The area now hosts street markets and music venues which are strongly associated with alternative culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EC2T10 - Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red was a work of installation art placed in the moat of the Tower of London, England, between July and November 2014, commemorating the centenary of the outbreak of World War I.
It consisted of 888,246 ceramic red poppies, each intended to represent one British or Colonial serviceman killed in the War. The artist was Paul Cummins, with setting by stage designer Tom Piper. The work's title was taken from the first line of a poem by an unknown World War I soldier.
The installation was visited by the Princes William and Harry and the Duchess of Cambridge on the day of its opening, and by the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh on 16 October. It is estimated that five million people saw the memorial, and the huge visitor demand saw Prime Minister David Cameron and other politicians join calls to try and extend the period for which the installation remained at the Tower so that more visitors would be able to pay their respects.
Tower officials resisted such calls, stating that the transience of the installation was a key part of the artistic concept, and that the poppies would be removed as planned and distributed to their purchasers. On 8 November it was announced that the Wave segment ? a steel construction with poppies around the Tower entrance ? would remain in place until the end of the month, and that the Wave and the Weeping Window segments (both made by the Theatre Royal, Plymouth) would be taken on a tour of the UK lasting until 2018, and would then go on permanent display at the Imperial War Museums in London and Manchester.

Its a historic Art Nouveau Grade II masterpiece of a pub was built in 1905 on the site of a Dominican friary. The building was designed by architect H. Fuller-Clark and artist Henry Poole, both committed to the free-thinking of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Jolly friars appear everywhere in the pub in sculptures, mosaics and reliefs. We are lucky to still be here as our wonderful pub was saved from demolition by a campaign led by Sir John Betjeman.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCE7J7 - Unique' is a much overworked word when it comes to describing pubs. But that's exactly what the Black Friar is. There's nothing else anywhere remotely like its fabulous decorative scheme, either in style or content. On a sharply triangular site opposite Blackfriars station, the pub was built in 1871-2, but what makes it so special is a remodelling from about 1905 by the then publican, Alfred Pettitt, and his architect H. Fuller-Clark. Fuller-Clark trained at the Lambeth School of Art and began practice in 1893. His artist was Henry Poole R.A., and both men were committed to the Arts & Crafts Movement which embraced a love of high-quality materials, hand craftsmanship, and often a very free, original approach to design.
Before entering the pub there is much to admire on the exterior. There is a deep mosaic fascia carrying the words Saloon / 174 / The Black Friar / 174 / Brandies on New Bridge Street side. A grand segmental arched entrance on the far left is surmounted by stone carved figures and above it a colourful mosaic of two monks fishing. The exterior lobby itself has walls and ceiling of marble. All along the exterior (well illuminated at night) are beautiful copper signs most featuring one or two friars such as a ?Worthington Ales in Bottle'
two ?Worthington Ales on Draught' ones
?To the Saloon', ?Booths Gin'
and a couple of ?Saloon Bar' signs, one of which bears a couple of friars pointing you towards the saloon and helpfully tells you it is 9 yards away. Above the corner door (no longer in use) is a ?174' in mosaic
a large stone figure of a friar
and a clock with a mosaic face. Above the Queen Victoria Street entrance on the right is a mosaic of a friar with wine in carafes flanked by stone carvings of friars. The fascia on this side has ?Brandies' in mosaic.
Throughout the pub are friars ? or at least jolly, modern reinvented versions of them ? they appear everywhere in sculptures, mosaics and metal reliefs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4HE9 - Leicester Square is a London Underground station in Theatreland and Chinatown, in the West End of London. It is located on Charing Cross Road, a short distance to the east of Leicester Square itself.
The station is on the Northern line, between Charing Cross and Tottenham Court Road, and the Piccadilly line, between Piccadilly Circus and Covent Garden. It is in Travelcard Zone 1.
On early Tube plans, the station was listed as Cranbourn Street, but the present name was used when the station was first opened by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway on 15 December 1906.
Like other stations on the original sections of the Piccadilly and Northern lines, the station was originally constructed with lifts providing access to the platforms. The increase in passenger numbers in the 1920s as the Northern line was extended north (to Edgware) and south (to Morden) and the expected further increase from the 1930s extensions of the Piccadilly line led to the reconstruction of the station below ground in the early 1930s. New station entrances were constructed to a new sub-surface ticket hall. As with the similar sub-surface ticket hall previously built at Piccadilly Circus this was excavated partially under the roadway. From there banks of escalators were provided down to both sets of platforms. The redundant lifts were removed but the lift shaft remains in use as a ventilation shaft hidden behind a small door on the first landing of the Cranbourn street entrance stairs. The redeveloped station opened in 1935.
The escalators down to the Piccadilly line were the longest on the entire Underground network, being 54 m (177 ft) in length, until the rebuilding and reopening of Angel in 1992, which overtook Leicester Square with its 60 m (197 ft) escalators.
Offices above the red terracotta station building on the east side of Charing Cross Road were once occupied by the Northern line management staff but now have a variety of functions in addition to the Northern line

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4HF1 - The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its occupants, the Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster, in central London, England.
Its name, which is derived from the neighbouring Westminster Abbey, may refer to either of two structures: the Old Palace, a medieval building complex destroyed by fire in 1834, and its replacement, the New Palace that stands today. The palace is owned by the monarch in right of the Crown and for ceremonial purposes, retains its original status as a royal residence. The building is managed by committees appointed by both houses, which report to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Lord Speaker.
The first royal palace was built on the site in the 11th century, and Westminster was the primary residence of the Kings of England until fire destroyed much of the complex in 1512. After that, it served as the home of the Parliament of England, which had been meeting there since the 13th century, and also as the seat of the Royal Courts of Justice, based in and around Westminster Hall. In 1834, an even greater fire ravaged the heavily rebuilt Houses of Parliament, and the only significant medieval structures to survive were Westminster Hall, the Cloisters of St Stephen's, the Chapel of St Mary Undercroft, and the Jewel Tower.

Another fave of mine from probably the best album you have never heard!
The band's founding members were Chris Corner and Liam Howe, who then recruited Kelli Dayton in in Hartlepool, England in 1994. Combined with the fear of being identified with the fad for trip-hop acts (e.g. Portishead), Dayton was asked to leave the group, and Corner became the singer from the second album onwards.
Chris Corner left the band in 2003 and released two solo albums in 2004 and 2006 under the moniker IAMX titled Kiss + Swallow and The Alternative. Kelli Ali (Dayton) recorded her third solo album Rocking Horse at the beginning of 2008 and released it through One Little Indian late Autumn 2008. She is quoted as saying this is a very different affair to her two previous solo albums, Tigermouth and Psychic Cat. Rocking Horse was produced by Max Richter.

Which tube is it for Euston Station?
Have you ever asked yourself that? I can guess the answer, its likely to be the same as mine.
However, Microsoft seem to think we need help for this, from that not very useful search engine, thats recently been rebranded from Live Search, Windows Live Search, and MSN Search. Er.. Bing.
If you haven't heard of it, thats because its not so popular. Bing is the third largest search engine on the web by query volume, at 3.24%, after its competitor Google at 84.80% and Yahoo at 6.19%. A piece of trivia, Bing's official Chinese name is b\u00ec y\u00ecng ( \u5fc5\u61c9 ), which literally means 'very certain to respond' or 'very certain to answer' in Chinese. Neat eh!
Bing is marketted as the simple search engine.
Anyway back to Euston.... The launch advert for Bing in the UK asks this question. 'Which tube is it for Euston Station?'. Bing comes to the rescue in the marketting world to return the simple correct answer. Although in the real world, like you may have guessed, you would have been better sticking with Google all along.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PP0NNM - Spinningfields is an area of Manchester city centre, in North West England, developed in the 2000s between Deansgate and the River Irwell by Allied London Properties. The ?1.5 billion project consists of 20 buildings, totalling approximately 430,000 m2 (4,600,000 sq ft) of commercial, residential and retail space. It takes its name from Spinningfield, a narrow street which ran westwards from Deansgate. In 1968, Spinningfield and the area to the south were turned into Spinningfield Square, an open paved area. Landmark buildings within the scheme include the Manchester Civil Justice Centre and 1 Spinningfields, a 90 m (300 ft) tall office building.

The proposal to create a central business district originated in 1997 when Allied London purchased a number of buildings around the John Rylands Library. Allied London executive Mike Ingall was convinced of the site's regeneration potential and Manchester City Council was keen to redevelop the city centre after the 1996 Manchester bombing.
The development, named from a narrow street which ran westwards from Deansgate, is bounded by Bridge Street to the north, Quay Street to the south, Deansgate to the east, and the River Irwell to the west. The Financial Times said in 2012 that the development spread over 22 acres (89,000 m2) and contained 3,000,000 sq ft (280,000 m2) of office space.By 2008, many had been completed and others were under construction or in the planning stages. The structural, civil and geo-environmental engineers were Capita Symonds Structures based in Cheadle Hulme.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4599800320 - 'We have all been there.
With new friends moving in its always difficult decorating a new place. Dave prefers more conservative celestrial blue while Nickolas has more a leaning for a yellow golden fern. Its looking like whatever happens it will take at least three coats of magnolia to paint over Gordons old choice of Fire cracker red. when we are finished blue and yellow will mix into a nice deep green. Probably a fitting reminder that Britain elected its first green MP in Brighton only last week.
Under the UK parliamentary system of government, a hung parliament (also known as a minority parliament, a balanced parliament or no overall control) is a legislature in which no political party has an absolute majority of seats.
This situation is normal in many legislatures with proportional representation such as the parliaments of Germany and Ireland, or in legislatures with strong regional parties
in such legislatures the term 'hung parliament' is rarely used since this is the typical outcome of an election.
However in nations in which the first-past-the-post voting system in single member districts is used to elect parliament, such as the United Kingdom and Canada, a coalition government or 'hung parliament' tends to be less common, as in these circumstances one party will usually hold enough seats to form a majority, often without a plurality of votes on a national basis. To resolve a hung parliament will usually result in either a coalition government, a minority government \u2013 or even a dissolution of parliament and a fresh election. It is these who will be choosing the paint tonight, in one of Londons most iconic addresses.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AA0RPF - Crewe Works is a British railway engineering facility built in 1840 by the Grand Junction Railway. It is located in the town of Crewe, in Cheshire. It is currently owned by Bombardier Transportation.
The railway also built 200 cottages establishing a new community in what had been the rural township of Monks Coppenhall. Among the first workers to arrive were those from the old works at Edge Hill producing an increase in the town's population by some 800 men, women and children.
In 1845 the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was merged with the Grand Junction. These, in turn, merged in 1846, with the London and Birmingham Railway and the Manchester and Birmingham Railway to form the London and North Western Railway (LNWR). All four had their own workshops but, in time, locomotive building was concentrated at Crewe.
In 1857 John Ramsbottom became Locomotive Superintendent. He had previously invented the first reliable safety valve and the scoop for picking up water from troughs between the tracks. He went on to improve the precision and interchangeability of tools and components.
In 1862 locomotive work was transferred from Wolverton. Wolverton became the carriage works, while wagon building was concentrated at Earlestown.
In 1853 Crewe had begun to make its own wrought iron and roll its own rails, and in 1864 installed a Bessemer converter for manufacturing steel. In 1868 it became the first place to use open-hearth furnaces on an industrial scale. It also built its own brickworks. Later the works was fitted with two electric arc furnaces.
Production increased steadily and, with the sale to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway of ten 2-4-0 and eighty six 0-6-0 locomotives, privately owned manufacturers took out an injunction in 1876 to restrain the railway from producing anything but its own needs. This remained in force until British Rail Engineering Limited was established in 1969.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A9GHW3 - The A1 is the longest numbered road in the United Kingdom, at 410 miles (660 km). It connects London, the capital of England, with Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. It passes through or near north London, Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage, Baldock, Letchworth Garden City, Biggleswade, St Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark-on-Trent, Retford, Doncaster, Pontefract, York, Wetherby, Ripon, Darlington, Durham, Sunderland, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, Morpeth, Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed.
It was designated by the Ministry of Transport in 1921, and for much of its route it followed various branches of the historic Great North Road, the main deviation being between Boroughbridge and Darlington. The course of the A1 has changed where towns or villages have been bypassed, and where new alignments have taken a slightly different route. Several sections of the route have been upgraded to motorway standard and designated A1(M). Between the M25 (near London) and the A720 (near Edinburgh) the road is part of the unsigned Euroroute E15 from Inverness to Algeciras.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R8T9G4 - Passengers at Crewe station now have access to a new waiting room, specifically designed to offer those with hidden disabilities a safe and calm environment.
The Calm Corner is the first of its kind on the rail network. It features the use of grey and green colours in order to give a calming effect, a living wall and plants to complement the colour scheme, specially designed furniture for comfort and relaxation, a child's play table, LED rope lighting that can change brightness to suit all.
It also has screens with old images of Crewe station and town centre to help trigger memories for those suffering from dementia and has a rail point Totem offering helpful advice (EG train and station layout).
It was brought to life through the work of train operators at the station, Network Rail and advice from a number of partner charities.
The idea was first suggested by work experience student, Megan Hughes, who used her own experience of living with Aspergers Syndrome as inspiration for the project.
Passengers using the waiting room can have access to the same support and passenger information they would get elsewhere on the station. However, it will be with the addition of a special totem screen, offering helpful advice such as train times, onward travel information and station layout.
Through ongoing work with Alzheimer's Society, London Northwestern Railway is committed to improving the experience for passengers living with dementia, to help support independent living through the use of the rail network.
The train operator is now working on initiatives to improve staff training as well as implementing small changes at stations that will make a big difference to the experience for passengers.
The ?memory corner' has been designed to help trigger memories for those who have used Crewe station for many years using a collection of historic photos of the station.
It is hoped this collection can grow, with contributions from passengers, families and other supporters.

The Flame arrived in Warrington from Halton via Liverpool Road at around 12.30pm. It will travel the length of Sankey Street, past the Golden Gates and Bank Park, where 300 primary school children took part in a mini-Olympics.
It was then carried to Market Gate where the 70-strong Warrington Male Voice Choir performed, and then turn down Buttermarket Street and on to Winwick Street. The Torch then called into Tesco for a 15-minute stop.
The route was announced by Warrington Borough Council and the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG).
Members of the public are invited to line the streets throughout the town centre or to visit Orford Park to celebrate the achievements of the eight inspirational Torchbearers who will be carrying the Flame in Warrington.
Torchbearers included Great Sankey resident Stephen Deakin MBE. He is the manager of the Royal Liverpool Hospital transplant sports team and an enthusiastic campaigner for organ donation.
Stephen aged 50, said: When I first heard I had been nominated I was absolutely made up but to be chosen to carry the torch. I am really honoured and humbled.
Other torch bearers from Warrington include Emily Woodward age 12, Helen Lea, age 42, Ian Livingston and Jason El-kaleh age 17.
Cllr Terry O'Neill, leader of the council, said: I would encourage everyone to come out and see the Flame as it comes through the town, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity and a chance to get the countdown to London 2012 officially started in Warrington.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M107K7 - The main bandstand in The Regent's Park is located on Holme Green, between the boating lake and Inner Circle. It was moved from Richmond Park to The Regent's Park in the 1970s.
On 20th July 1982, the bandstand was the target of a terrorist attack by the IRA. Seven bandsmen were killed and a further 24 injured during a concert by the band of the Royal Green Jackets. Eight members of the public, who were watching the performance, were also taken to hospital with injuries sustained in the bombing.
Today there is a small memorial plaque on the base of the bandstand that commemorates the seven bandsmen who were killed. Each year the attack's survivors, and the families of those who were killed, gather here for a short but poignant memorial service.
Two years after the bombing, the composer George Lloyd wrote Royal Parks For Brass Band, the second movement of which, In Memoriam is dedicated to the bandsmen who died. The piece still features in many band repertoires.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BCTGHE - A fingerpost (sometimes referred to as a guide post) is a traditional type of sign post primarily used in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, consisting of a post with one or more arms, known as fingers, pointing in the direction of travel to places named on the fingers. The posts have traditionally been made from cast iron or wood, with poles painted in black, white or grey and fingers with black letters on a white background, often including distance information in miles. In most cases, they are used to give guidance for road users, but examples also exist on the canal network, for instance. They are also used to mark the beginning of a footpath, bridleway, or similar public path.
Legislation was enacted in England in 1697 which enabled magistrates to place direction posts at cross-highways. However, the oldest fingerpost still extant is thought to be that close to Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire, dated 1669 and pointing to Oxford, Warwick, Gloucester and Worcester (abbreviated to 'Gloster' and 'Woster'). The Highways Act 1766 and Turnpike Roads Act 1773 made use of fingerposts on turnpike roads compulsory.
The Motor Car Act 1903 passed road sign responsibilities to the relevant highway authority within the then United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, although no specifications were set. Guidance was given in a 1921 circular that road direction signs should have 2 1?2-or-3-inch-high (64 or 76 mm) upper case lettering on a white background and white supporting poles. It also recommended that the name of the highway authority be included somewhere in the design.
Mandatory standards (The Traffic Signs (Size, Colour and Type) Provisional Regulations) were passed for Great Britain in 1933 which required poles to painted with black and white bands and lettering to be of a different typeface. Signposts were removed across much of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland during World War II.

The revival of the Altrincham Market is nothing short of remarkable. From 1290 (yes, 1290!) the market had been at the centre of community life in Altrincham. Throughout the centuries, the market would have been where townsfolk gathered to buy goods, make a living, and spend time in the company of their neighbours.
And yet, the second half of the 20th century brought a period of stagnation. With the fortunes of the town on the downturn and the population size decreasing year over year, the historic market was being run by the council with little love or care. In fact, around a decade ago, Altrincham was voted as having the worse high street in Britain.
So, what has changed?
Well, Nick Johnson came onto the scene. Nick was a property developer and saw something in Altrincham that others failed to spot. In 2013, he won the contract to run the market and quickly set about changing the face of it and in turn Altrincham.
Nick gave the Victorian building a makeover. Cleaning it from top to bottom and restoring some features that had been neglected. He then got to work contacting some of the area's best, local food vendors.
Nick did the same in Manchester city centre with the Mackie Mayor food hall, the big sister of Altrincham Market House. We previously wrote about Mackie Mayor here.
Food And Drink At Altrincham Market House
Since it reopened in 2014, locals and visitors have filled the food hall week after week, and it should come as no surprise ? the food on offer is second to none!
Market House is home to 10 indie food stalls, including Honest Crust, Wolfhouse Kitchen, Tender Cow, Jack in the Box, Reserve Wines, Great North Pie Co., Sam Joseph, and Market House Coffee.
Jack in the Box is an award-winning producer of real ale and cider that operate across the Mackie Mayor and Altrincham
