Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FHEA48 - . Bottles of Ribena, Robinsons and other fruit drinks and concentrated squash are arranged across a market.htm Target=_Blank>supermarket drinks aisle in the UK. Bright orange, purple and clear packaging distinguishes flavours such as orange and blackcurrant, while shelf-edge labels allow shoppers to compare prices and promotions. Concentrated squash is a long-established British grocery product, designed to be diluted with water at home and sold as an alternative to ready-to-drink soft drinks. The display shows how major branded ranges compete for space alongside other fruit-flavoured beverages, using bottle shape, colour, flavour descriptions and promotional labels to stand out. Different bottle sizes also allow supermarkets to target family use, convenience and value, with the effective cost per serving depending on both price and dilution. The category has changed over time as manufacturers respond to concerns about sugar consumption, introducing reduced-sugar and no-added-sugar formulations as well as new flavours. For households, concentrated drinks can offer many servings from one bottle, making them relevant to conversations about grocery budgets and value during periods of food-price inflation. Plastic bottles dominate the shelf, also connecting everyday beverage shopping with wider questions about packaging waste, recycling and the environmental impact of single-use containers. Ribena is strongly associated with blackcurrant drinks in Britain, while Robinsons is a familiar squash brand, giving the scene an immediately recognisable UK grocery character. The tightly stocked shelves show the commercial importance of range and visual impact in supermarket merchandising, where neighbouring products compete within seconds for a shopper's attention. Concentrates occupy a distinctive place in the soft-drinks market because one bottle produces many servings after dilution, making price per prepared drink different from the shelf price alone.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E5TC3A - James Keiller & Son Dundee Orange Marmalade mural in New Inn Entry, Dundee, Scotland, UK. The photograph is a contemporary editorial record of the subject and its surroundings at New Inn Entry, Dundee, Scotland, UK. Visible signage, lettering, architecture, street furniture, transport infrastructure, public art, commercial branding or landscape details are retained where present, giving the image value both as a description of the immediate scene and as a reference for how the place looked at the time of photography. The mural celebrates Dundee's historic association with James Keiller & Son and orange marmalade. Created by artist Diane Selbie and commissioned for New Inn Entry, the colourful work uses vintage-style jars, fruit and lettering to connect contemporary street art with the city's food-manufacturing heritage. The image has wider editorial relevance for local history, heritage, tourism, transport, retail, planning, regeneration, business and social change where those themes apply to the subject. It can support news and feature coverage as well as retrospective comparison if the building, business, artwork, service, route or streetscape is altered, redeveloped, rebranded, closed or otherwise changes in future. The composition also preserves small visual details that are easily lost over time, including materials, signs, logos, road or rail features, shopfront treatment, public-realm design and the relationship of the subject to neighbouring buildings or open space. This makes the photograph useful not only as a straightforward location image but also as a documentary record of everyday urban and cultural life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ENMR65 - Vandalised life ring or ring buoy lying on a Dundee footpath instead of being secured in its emergency safety holder, Scotland, UK. The orange-and-white flotation ring has been removed from its normal mounting and left on the ground beside a narrow pedestrian route bounded by stone walls. Life rings are installed beside waterways, harbours and other potentially hazardous waterside locations so that they can be thrown quickly to somebody in danger of drowning. Removing or damaging this equipment can leave an emergency location without an immediately available rescue aid. The photograph is suitable for editorial coverage of vandalism, antisocial behaviour, missing lifesaving equipment, water safety, drowning prevention, public safety, emergency infrastructure, local authority maintenance, community responsibility, risk management and the misuse of safety equipment. The conspicuous orange ring lying on the grey pavement creates a simple but powerful visual representation of essential public equipment being left unavailable for its intended purpose, making the image useful for campaigns and news stories concerning waterways and public safety.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F0EE63 - . Easyjet warning sign at Manchester Airport auto bag drop - Check-in opens 2.5 hours before your departure. Photographed on 29 December 2023, this winter image records the subject in its real-world setting and provides a contemporary visual reference for the place, activity, object or organisation shown. Key searchable subjects associated with the scene include Easyjet, delay, bid, bids, flight, delays, airport, bagdrop, check-in, Apollo, takeover, checkin, providing natural SEO coverage without losing the specific documentary identity of the photograph. The wording and graphic design are important parts of the image, preserving contemporary language, typography, branding or campaigning material that may later disappear or change. The transport setting gives the image wider relevance to mobility, infrastructure, roads and public transport, travel behaviour, local connectivity, logistics and the relationship between vehicles and the built environment. It can illustrate planning, transport policy, accessibility, congestion, public investment and the changing technologies and services used to move people or goods. Prominent wording, signage, posters, logos or other graphic material gives the photograph additional documentary value because it records how an organisation, campaign, business or place communicated with the public at that moment. Text and branding visible in a streetscape can be especially useful for editorial comparison after rebranding, closure, redevelopment or policy change. The frame provides a detailed documentary record of the subject as it appeared at the time of photography, preserving the surrounding context as well as the principal feature. Its value is both descriptive and editorial, allowing the scene to illustrate news, features, local history, travel, social change and retrospective comparison. The composition retains practical contextual detail for news, feature, documentary, educational and historical use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3NDKH - Portable Irish National Lottery pavement sign advertises a potential €110 million jackpot on Main Street in Cahersiveen, County Kerry. The weathered metal display uses large black numerals against a vivid orange panel, making the enormous prize visible to pedestrians passing shops, pubs and other businesses in the town centre. The wording Euro Lotto Jackpot appears beneath National Lottery branding, while a small EuroMillions symbol indicates that the promotion relates to the multinational EuroMillions draw.
The close-up street scene records how lottery gambling is marketed within an ordinary retail environment rather than a casino or betting shop. Adjustable number panels allow the advertised jackpot to rise as draws roll over without a top-prize winner. A sum of €110 million presents the possibility of instant, life-changing wealth, using an exceptional potential reward to encourage attention, ticket purchases and dreams of financial freedom.
For many adults, buying an occasional lottery ticket is a recreational activity. However, prominent jackpot advertising can also contribute to the normalisation of gambling by placing it alongside routine shopping, eating, drinking and other everyday high street activity. Large prize figures may be particularly persuasive during periods of rising living costs, household financial pressure or economic insecurity, when the prospect of escaping money worries through a single winning ticket can appear especially attractive.
The chance of winning the main EuroMillions jackpot remains extremely small, and money spent on repeated entries can accumulate without any return. Irish National Lottery responsible-play guidance advises customers to understand the odds, avoid chasing losses, spend only what they can afford to lose and regard lottery products as entertainment rather than a way of earning money or solving financial problems.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ERK6CN - An easyJet passenger cabin photographed from an economy seat, showing a branded inflight drinks advertisement fitted into the rear of the seat in front. The illuminated panel promotes a 2 for £9.95 bar offer alongside bottles and cans, while a smaller message advertises easyJet holidays for package holidays. A QR code and orange promotional panel encourage passengers to engage with the airline's onboard retail offer during the flight.
The view captures the everyday experience of low-cost European aviation rather than a landmark destination. Grey fabric seats, moulded plastic seat backs, overhead lighting controls, cabin panels and luggage lockers place the scene unmistakably inside a modern short-haul passenger aircraft. Travellers are visible from behind, reinforcing the candid documentary character of a commercial flight.
The photograph illustrates how budget airlines market additional products after the basic fare has been purchased. Food, alcohol, soft drinks, snacks, duty-free goods, seat selection, luggage and package holidays can contribute to ancillary revenue in the low-cost airline business model. Seat-back panels provide captive advertising space throughout boarding and the journey, placing special offers directly in front of passengers.
easyJet serves travellers from London and regional UK airports, connecting them with destinations across Europe and beyond. For passengers outside the capital, regional departures can reduce surface travel time and provide access to city breaks, beach holidays, visiting friends and relatives, and other short-haul journeys.
The image supports editorial themes including cheap flights, affordable travel, airline pricing, inflight consumer spending, onboard hospitality, ancillary charges, travel marketing, regional airport connectivity, mass tourism and passenger experience. The advertised price is the offer visible when photographed and should not be treated as confirmation of a current easyJet menu price.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4M6G - Late-night view of the narrow pedestrian passage leading to Hackney Central London Overground station in the London Borough of Hackney. The illuminated orange station sign stands out against old brick railway arches, while the enclosed walkway recedes into darkness beneath artificial lights. A lone traveller is visible further along the route, giving the image a documentary focus on personal safety, perceived vulnerability and the experience of using urban public transport after dark. The photograph does not establish that a crime is occurring, but the confined passage, limited sightlines and quiet surroundings may reflect concerns often expressed by women, lone commuters, shift workers and late-night passengers when approaching stations or walking through isolated routes.
Hackney Central is a Zone 2 station on the London Overground Mildmay line, serving journeys towards Stratford, Highbury & Islington, Richmond and Clapham Junction. The station has access from the Amhurst Road area and from a passage beside the surviving nineteenth-century railway building near Mare Street. A second entrance on Graham Road opened in 2022 to provide more direct access, reduce congestion and improve interchange with local buses and nearby Hackney Downs station.
Transport for London advises passengers travelling at night to plan journeys in advance and use established public transport services, staffed stations, help points and available support. The image suits editorial themes involving women's safety, fear of crime, night-time commuting, urban design, station access, lighting, surveillance, public-realm improvements and safer streets. It can also illustrate debate about how architecture, visibility, maintenance and pedestrian activity influence whether a route feels welcoming or intimidating after dark. The dramatic angle, glowing orange branding and largely empty passage create a tense metropolitan atmosphere without implying wrongdoing by the person shown.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4M68 - A McLaren MCL38 Formula One car displayed at Silverstone during a British Grand Prix event, presented in the team's distinctive papaya orange and black colour scheme. The side view reveals the sculpted aerodynamic bodywork, front and rear wings, halo cockpit protection, Pirelli tyres and prominent sponsor branding including Chrome, Cisco, Dewalt and Jack Daniel's. The display plinth carries the responsible drinking message Never Drink and Drive , while spectators gather around the covered exhibition area beneath a grey, showery summer sky.
McLaren introduced the MCL38 as its challenger for the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri sharing driving duties. The car became one of the most successful McLarens of the modern era, earning six Grand Prix victories and helping the team secure the 2024 Constructors' Championship, its first for 26 years. It scored points at every event and completed the season without a mechanical retirement across the 24 Grands Prix and six Sprint races.
The alcohol-awareness wording reflects Jack Daniel's role as an official McLaren Formula One Team partner and places a clear road-safety message alongside the glamour, speed and commercial sponsorship of elite motorsport. It creates a useful contrast between controlled competition on a closed racing circuit and the dangers of alcohol-impaired driving on public roads.
This editorial image is suitable for themes involving Formula One technology, McLaren racing heritage, British motorsport, responsible drinking campaigns, road safety, alcohol sponsorship, commercial partnerships and fan engagement. The close profile view highlights the MCL38's low stance, exposed wheels and complex aerodynamic surfaces, while the crowd and temporary event setting document the promotional displays surrounding a major international race weekend

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYPFF9 - Tesla, following the settlement of a long-running legal case, is finally going to bring some Superchargers to the UK's motorways. Seven new Supercharging stations, all located at motorway service stations, are now in the process of being built, with more coming soon.
Heretofore, Tesla's somewhat anaemic Supercharger roll-out in the UK had mostly been located in cities
not exactly the ideal place to charge up your car for a long-distance drive. Some Superchargers were located near a motorway or main road, but not in motorway service stations.
As reported by Engadget, the dearth of motorway Superchargers was apparently due to a legal dispute between Tesla and Ecotricity, a UK-based company that already had a large number of electric vehicle charging points across the country, including exclusivity deals at motorway service stations.
According to a few newspaper and website reports, Tesla approached Ecotricity prior to the launch of right-hand-drive Model S in the UK, to try and strike some kind of deal to get Supercharging stations into motorway service stations. Seemingly, at some point that deal turned sour, with Ecotricity's founder saying back in May 2014 that this is nothing more than an attempted smash and grab raid. Soon after, both companies hunkered down in litigation land, suing and countersuing each other. This week they finally reached an out-of-court settlement.
Yesterday, somewhat suspiciously and/or coincidentally, both Tesla and Ecotricity published very similar blog posts. Neither post referenced the other company, instead focusing on their commitment to grow their UK electric vehicle charging networks. While the details of the settlement are confidential, given that Tesla is now allowed to build Superchargers at motorway service stations, it would appear to have got its way.

It can support reporting on housing condition, estate renewal, energy efficiency, building safety, development, tenure and the long-term transformation of residential areas. Prominent wording, signage, posters, logos or other graphic material gives the photograph additional documentary value because it records how an organisation, campaign, business or place communicated with the public at that moment. Text and branding visible in a streetscape can be especially useful for editorial comparison after rebranding, closure, redevelopment or policy change. Industrial subject matter gives the image strong relevance to manufacturing, engineering, energy, utilities, machinery, skilled work and Britain's industrial heritage.

The Loyal Orange Institution, commonly known as the Orange Order, is an international fraternal movement based in Northern Ireland and primarily associated with Ulster Protestants (it also has lodges in England, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland, as well as in parts of the Commonwealth of Nations and the United States. Most of the organization's lodges are located in Ireland, England, and Scotland, although others can be found throughout the British Commonwealth, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. The lodges of every country are independent, but the Orange Order meets in a triennial world council. The Orange Order was founded by Ulster Protestants in County Armagh in 1795, during a period of Protestant“Catholic sectarian conflict, as a fraternity sworn to maintain the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland. It is headed[definition needed] by the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland, established in 1798. Its name is a tribute to the Dutch-born Protestant king William of Orange, who defeated Catholic king James II in the Williamite“Jacobite War (1688“1691). The order is best known for its yearly marches, the biggest of which are held on or around 12 July (The Twelfth), a public holiday in Northern Ireland
The Orange Order is a conservative, British unionist and Ulster loyalist organisation. Thus it has traditionally opposed Irish nationalism/republicanism and campaigned against Scottish independence.

NJORD SKUA (MMSI: 235103429) is a High Speed Craft that was built in 2014 (9 years ago) and is sailing under the flag of United Kingdom. Her length overall (LOA) is 21 meters and her width is 7 meters. As background, maritime scenes record both movement and infrastructure: ships, ferries, fishing boats, quays and waterfront structures show how ports serve commerce, communities and tourism
The details of a vessel's design, livery and role can also date a photograph precisely. Looking at the subject's development, historic and modern architecture can be read as a record of investment, planning and changing urban functions
Civic, commercial, industrial and residential buildings each contribute to the character of a townscape, particularly where older structures are adapted rather than demolished. Against the 2026 backdrop, ports remain crucial to UK trade, offshore energy, passenger travel and supply chains, while decarbonisation is driving interest in cleaner fuels, shore power and more efficient vessels
Older working-boat and harbour images therefore have both maritime-history and contemporary transport relevance. For the 2026 context, current regeneration policy places growing emphasis on reusing established buildings and strengthening town centres. historic façades, redundant offices and converted commercial properties are especially relevant to debates about conservation, viability and adaptive reuse. From a heritage perspective, harbours and shipping routes have long shaped British coastal and riverside towns
Fishing, cargo handling, ferry services, shipbuilding and port engineering created distinctive working landscapes that increasingly coexist with tourism, leisure craft and waterfront regeneration. Alternative search wording includes maritime industry, working vessel, marine transport, and quayside.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84K2T - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.
The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of ˜dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).
William Cranston was a member of the License Trade delegation who traveled to lobby the British Parliament in Westminster, London, in 1863 to have this practice forbidden

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84K2W - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.
The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of ˜dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).
William Cranston was a member of the License Trade delegation who traveled to lobby the British Parliament in Westminster, London, in 1863 to have this practice forbidden

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XNA1 - The Thatchers company was founded by William Thatcher in 1904. His son Stanley Thatcher, born in 1910, began selling draught cider to pubs in Somerset and the company's presence in the area grew. The company is still family owned and employs around 200 people. In 1992 Martin took over from his father, John Thatcher, as managing director.
It has 500 acres of its own orchard, as well as using apples from other growers in the area. Alongside its bush orchards, Thatchers has pioneered a method of growing its apple trees in a hedgerow style. Trained on wires, this enables easier harvesting and also helps to ensure the fruit has the optimum combination of sunlight and rain. It has also led to the development of a new bespoke harvester. At the height of season, Thatchers can press 500 tonnes of apples per day. Thatchers also maintains an exhibition orchard in which over 458 different varieties of apple tree are grown. Many of the traditional ciders produced at Myrtle Farm are matured in 100-year-old oak vats, which gives the cider a distinctive taste.
In addition to its cider production, Myrtle Farm is the UK's biggest processor of blackcurrants, dealing with 90 per cent of the UK's total crop, which it processes on behalf of Ribena.
Thatchers Cider is available in many sports clubs and events across the South West. They are involved with teams including Winscombe R.F.C., Bath Rugby, Somerset County Cricket Club, Bristol Rugby, Bristol City, Yeovil Town, Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, Bristol Rovers, Plymouth Argyle F.C, Exeter City and Torquay United.
Thatchers are also involved in many local events and festivals including: Glastonbury Festival, Royal Bath and West Show, Bristol International Balloon Fiesta and Cambridge Folk Festival.
Thatcher's lost their ongoing cider sponsorship of the Glastonbury festival in 2019 to Mallets cider

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K43R0M - The Point of Ayr Lighthouse, also known as the Talacre Lighthouse, is a Grade II listed building situated on the north coast of Wales, on the Point of Ayr, near the village of Talacre.
It was built in 1776 by a Trust of the Major, Recorder and Aldermen of Chester to warn ships entering between the Dee and the Mersey Estuary. It was replaced by a pile light and was decommissioned in 1844. It is now a privately owned property.
The lighthouse was listed on the property market in November 2011 by then owner James McAllister, along with two acres of land, for £100,000. It was eventually sold in April 2012 for £90,000 to a private couple who continue to own the property.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRMW22 - Marmalade is a fruit preserve made from the juice and peel of citrus fruits boiled with sugar and water. The well-known version is made from bitter orange. It is also made from lemons, limes, grapefruits, mandarins, sweet oranges, bergamots, and other citrus fruits, or a combination. Citrus is the most typical choice of fruit for marmalade, though historically the term has often been used for non-citrus preserves.
The preferred citrus fruit for marmalade production is the Spanish Seville or bitter orange, Citrus aurantium var. aurantium, prized for its high pectin content, which sets readily to the thick consistency expected of marmalade. The peel imparts a bitter taste.
The word marmalade is borrowed from the Portuguese marmelada, from marmelo 'quince'.
Unlike jam, a large quantity of water is added to the fruit in a marmalade, the extra liquid being set by the high pectin content of the fruit. In this respect it is like a jelly, but whereas the fruit pulp and peel is strained out of a jelly to give it its characteristic clarity, it is retained in a marmalade
Paddington Bear is known for his liking of marmalade, particularly in sandwiches, and kept it in his briefcase wherever he went

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JREBRA - James Christopher Armfield, CBE, DL (21 September 1935 “ 22 January 2018) was an English professional football player and manager who latterly worked as a football pundit for BBC Radio Five Live. He played the whole of his Football League career at Blackpool, usually at right back. Between 1954 and 1971 he played 627 games in all competitions, scored six goals, and spent a decade as the club's captain. He also represented the England national team 43 times between 1959 and 1966, and captained them in 15 games. He was a member of England's 1966 World Cup-winning squad. After retiring from playing, Armfield managed Bolton Wanderers and Leeds United
Armfield won 43 caps for England between 1959 and 1966, and captained his country on fifteen occasions. He made his international debut on 13 May 1959, against Brazil in front of over 120,000 fans at the Maracanã Stadium. He played in the 1962 World Cup in Chile, where he was acclaimed as the best right-back in the world. He was also voted best right-back in Europe between 1962 and 1964
In the 1966 World Cup final only the 11 players on the pitch at the end of the 4“2 win over West Germany received medals. Following a Football Association-led campaign to persuade FIFA to award medals to all the winners' squad members, Armfield was presented with his medal by Gordon Brown at a ceremony at 10 Downing Street on 10 June 2009

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 2AGP31M - Amaryllis is the only genus in the subtribe Amaryllidinae (tribe Amaryllideae). It is a small genus of flowering bulbs, with two species. The better known of the two, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of the Western Cape region of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest area between the Olifants River Valley and Knysna.
For many years there was confusion among botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name 'amaryllis' is mainly used for cultivars of the genus Hippeastrum, widely sold in the winter months for their ability to bloom indoors.
Plants of the genus Amaryllis are known as belladonna lily, Jersey lily, naked lady, amarillo, Easter lily in Southern Australia or, in South Africa, March lily due to its propensity to flower around March. This is one of numerous genera with the common name 'lily' due to their flower shape and growth habit. However, they are only distantly related to the true lily, Lilium. In the Victorian language of flowers, amaryllis means love, beauty, and determination, and can also represent hope and achievement

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AJRRJE - Avanti West Coast is a train operating company in the United Kingdom owned by FirstGroup (70%) and Trenitalia (30%) that began operating the West Coast Partnership franchise on 8 December 2019. It replaced Virgin Trains, which had operated the franchise since 1997.
In November 2016, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced that the InterCity West Coast franchise would be superseded by the West Coast Partnership (WCP), which would include operating High Speed 2 (HS2) services from 2026.
The DfT required that bidders have experience in high-speed trains and infrastructure, hence all partnered with an existing high-speed operator. In June 2017, the DfT announced that three consortia had been shortlisted to bid for the franchise:
FirstGroup (70%) / Trenitalia (30%)
MTR Corporation (75%) / Guangshen Railway Company (25%)
Stagecoach (50%) / SNCF (30%) / Virgin Group (20%)
In August 2019 the DfT awarded the franchise to the First Trenitalia consortium with Avanti West Coast to commence operations on 8 December 2019. Some uncertainty remains as the Competition and Markets Authority launched a merger inquiry into the award of the franchise following a referral from the European Commission
Avanti West Coast initially operates the same services as Virgin Trains on the West Coast Main Line. When High Speed 2 opens, it will also operate these services.

There is a crowd gathering outside the door of 9 Bleecker Street, the gritty downtown headquarters of Overthrow Boxing.
Passersby slow their pace and turn their heads towards the pulsating hip-hop that blares out Overthrow's doors and onto the sidewalk. Through its ground floor windows, and past an aggressive neon red sign, a few dozen young women chat excitedly as they wrap their hands before squeezing into boxing gloves.
Further back another class is still in session, with the participants jabbing ferociously at shared punching bags as an instructor screams down from a ring set alongside an exposed brick wall.
On any given night, a peek through these same steamed-up windows could result in a story-worthy sighting of Nina Agdal, Usher, Martha Hunt, Jennifer Lopez, the Fat Jewish or Will Smith.
This is exactly what Overthrow founder Joey Goodwin had in mind when he started the gym two years ago. I wanted to create an atmosphere that drew you in, he says. Everyone on the outside is trying to get a better look, wishing they were a part of the action.

The Doodle on Ducie Street has been created to launch the inaugural International Arts and Homelessness Summit and Festival
The mural, The Doodle on Ducie Street, has been created to launch the inaugural International Arts and Homelessness Summit and Festival in November which aims to raise awareness of homelessness and support homeless people.
We had almost 40 artists working on this and we came together just one week ago, said street artist and activist Joel.
It's been an intense week. We got together and asked what we could create that would represent everyone and what message or story we wanted to tell. Everyone made sketches and we made a composition, then each day we came out and worked on it.
Now the wall is a wondrous array of colour, inspired by Joel's signature style, designed to encourage conversation “ perfect for the upcoming festival.
The unique creative team was organised with the help of With One Voice, an organisation which sets out to tackle homelessness in a creative way.
Everyone came together and decided what was important to them. We came up with this concept of the guy on the mural, he's flying through the air from challenges in his life to a brighter future, said With One Voice director, Matt Peacock.
It's been an amazing experience, says Matt. We were really conscious that we were putting this piece of public art in the centre of Manchester, where homelessness has been on the rise. For many years people would rightly say, ˜why art?'
And the reasons for that, which I hope you can see, are so many things “ it's about personal and societal regeneration, it's about telling a different story about homelessness, and giving a voice to people who are and have been homeless to say what they want to say to the public.
The artists have found the experience a boost to their confidence.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy R9GT8H - . This contextual photograph preserves the everyday reality of the recorded location, in this period view from 2018. The defining subject in the supplied record is Royal Mail Postman, with mail trolley wearing orange jacket, delivering in Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. Further features of the subject include place and memory, social landscape, local character, local identity, everyday Britain, social context, cultural landscape, changing Britain, urban and rural change, modern history, everyday infrastructure, and documentary photography. Modern coverage of everyday local life frequently reaches beyond the immediate scene to questions of business turnover, shifts in local identity and a clearer record of local change. Documentary value is strengthened by the precise setting at the recorded location, where even ordinary details of frontage, equipment, signs, traffic or public activity may disappear as the area evolves, specifically in relation to Royal Mail Postman. The surrounding context also touches on regional identity, visual record, documentary record, public realm, community environment, place-based history. The scene is further associated with hiVis, delivery man, postie, postal service, Royalmail, British Postman. For present-day editorial use, community change can also illustrate debates about redevelopment and business turnover, particularly where these affect a clearer record of local change. The lasting documentary value lies in its record of public access, neighbourhood identity, transport patterns, architecture and streetscape, and ownership or occupation as an authentic period reference. For future comparison, the scene preserves local business activity, public-realm details, regional identity, the condition of buildings, and patterns of everyday use at this precise location. The view of Royal Mail Postman also preserves another layer of local identity and period change.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy R9GT2F - . An on-location image preserves the working environment around the recorded location, in a scene preserved from 2018. The principal recorded subject is Flames from a real fire, in a cast iron grate, winter time, lovely orange warm glow. The scene also brings together local character, social landscape, documentary photography, community life, changing Britain, modern history, urban and rural change, community environment, cultural landscape, social context, visual record, and place and memory. In the mid-2020s, everyday local life is increasingly discussed through new technology and redevelopment, with attention turning to preservation of everyday detail. Because this is a time-specific record of the recorded location, later comparison can reveal changes in signage, ownership, land use, transport, street furniture, building condition and the way the public uses the surrounding space, specifically in relation to Flames from a real fire. The scene also relates to regional identity, contemporary social history, local identity, place-based history, public realm, everyday Britain. The scene is further associated with fire behind a guard, vigorous flames, smell of a fire, fireguard, pleasure of a real fire. Further aspects present in the subject include everyday infrastructure, and documentary record. Current debate around place and memory often combines the passage of time, altered public space and the practical challenge of preservation of everyday detail. In historical comparison, the image can help trace movement through the area, everyday services, planning and redevelopment, historic fabric, and social change within the surrounding area. The lasting documentary value lies in its record of architecture and streetscape, ownership or occupation, neighbourhood identity, transport patterns, and public access as part of the area's longer social history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PYX9BA - Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed.
It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain
that such festivals may have had pagan roots
and that Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween by the early Church. Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday, separate from ancient festivals like Samhain.
Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising), attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, and watching horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular, although elsewhere it is a more commercial and secular celebration. Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain vegetarian foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PBRY40 - Helianthus annuus, the common sunflower, is a large annual forb of the genus Helianthus grown as a crop for its edible oil and edible fruits. This sunflower species is also used as wild bird food, as livestock forage (as a meal or a silage plant), in some industrial applications, and as an ornamental in domestic gardens. The plant was first domesticated in the Americas. Wild Helianthus annuus is a widely branched annual plant with many flower heads. The domestic sunflower, however, often possesses only a single large inflorescence (flower head) atop an unbranched stem. The name sunflower may derive from the flower's head's shape, which resembles the sun, or from the impression that the blooming plant appears to slowly turn its flower towards the sun as the latter moves across the sky on a daily basis.
Sunflower seeds were brought to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, where, along with sunflower oil, they became a widespread cooking ingredient.

It was so called when taken over by the Glasgow Corporation who renamed it the Glasgow Underground in 1936. Despite this rebranding, many Glaswegians continued to refer to the network as the Subway. In 2003 the name Subway was officially readopted by its operator, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXKRW - The Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.
At the time of its construction the Albert Dock was considered a revolutionary docking system because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from/to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Due to its open yet secure design, the Albert Dock became a popular store for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite the Albert Dock's advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that within 50 years, larger, more open docks were required, although it remained a valuable store for cargo.
During the Second World War, the Albert Dock was requisitioned by the Admiralty serving as a base for boats of the British Atlantic Fleet. The complex was damaged during air raids on Liverpool, notably during the May Blitz of 1941. In the aftermath of the war, the financial problems of the owners and the general decline of docking in the city meant that the future of the Albert Dock was uncertain. Numerous plans were developed for the re-use of the buildings but none came to fruition and in 1972 the dock was finally closed. Having lain derelict for nearly ten years, the redevelopment of the dock began in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, with the Albert Dock being officially re-opened in 1984.
Today the Albert Dock is a major tourist attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside of London. It is a vital component of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City and the docking complex and warehouses also com

The recorded location is Lime Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK L1 1JD. A lady at the passing St Georges hall in front of Lime Street Liverpool City Centre. The wider historical story is that everyday walking scenes document how people actually move through towns: on foot, with children, pets or shopping, using routes that may be altered or removed during redevelopment
Such photographs can become useful evidence of public access and local geography. As background, heritage photography is particularly useful where buildings or objects have changed function
A former workplace, shop, transport structure or piece of equipment can become a museum object or landmark, linking everyday history with conservation and interpretation. In the present 2026 context, walking and active travel are prominent in transport and public-health policy, with continuing attention to safe pedestrian routes, accessibility and connections between neighbourhoods
Older paths and tunnels can illustrate both useful permeability and the design problems associated with underpasses. Against the 2026 backdrop, conservation is increasingly considered alongside regeneration, climate resilience and adaptive reuse
The value of a historic subject therefore lies not only in nostalgia but in the evidence it provides about materials, local identity and how places change. Looking at the subject's development, walking routes, tunnels and footpaths reveal the small-scale infrastructure that connects neighbourhoods away from main roads
Underpasses, canal paths and pedestrian passages can become familiar local shortcuts while also reflecting the planning priorities of the period in which they were built. Relevant synonyms and subject phrases include dog walking, pedestrian infrastructure, local route, urban walking, neighbourhood connection, public realm, everyday mobility, and historic environment.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Waterloo Sunset is a song by British rock band The Kinks. It was released as a single in 1967, and featured on their album Something Else by The Kinks. Composed and produced by Kinks frontman Ray Davies, 'Waterloo Sunset' is one of the band's best known and most acclaimed songs. A London FM radio poll in 2004 named this the 'Greatest Song About London', while Time Out named it the 'Anthem of London'.
The lyrics describe a solitary narrator watching (or imagining) two lovers passing over a bridge, with the melancholic observer reflecting on the couple, the Thames, and Waterloo Station. The song was rumoured to have been inspired by the romance between two British celebrities of the time, actors Terence Stamp and Julie Christie. Ray Davies denied this in his autobiography, and claimed in a 2008 interview, 'It was a fantasy about my sister going off with her boyfriend to a new world and they were going to emigrate and go to another country.'
Despite its complex arrangement, the sessions for 'Waterloo Sunset' lasted a mere ten hours
Dave Davies later commented on the recording: 'We spent a lot of time trying to get a different guitar sound, to get a more unique feel for the record. In the end we used a tape-delay echo, but it sounded new because nobody had done it since the 1950s. I remember Steve Marriott of the Small Faces came up and asked me how we'd got that sound. We were almost trendy for a while.' The single was one of the group's biggest UK successes, reaching number two on Melody Maker's chart, and went on to become one of their most popular and best-known.
The record reached number 2 on the British charts in mid 1967 (it failed to dislodge the Tremeloes' 'Silence Is Golden' from the number 1 position). Davies considered the song a professional milestone, where he managed to blend the commercial demands of a hit single with his own highly personal style of narrative songwriting. The elaborate production was the first Kinks recording produced solely by Davies, without longtime producer Shel Talmy. In subsequent arguments with Kinks management over the direction of the band, Davies would say 'I've done 'Waterloo Sunset', now I want to do something else'.
In 2010 Ray Davies stated the song was originally entitled 'Liverpool Sunset'. In an interview with the Liverpool Echo he explained 'Liverpool is my favourite city, and the song was originally called Liverpool Sunset. I was inspired by Merseybeat. I'd fallen in love with Liverpool by that point. On every tour, that was the best reception. We played The Cavern, all those old places, and I couldn't get enough of it. I had a load of mates in bands up there, and that sound \u2013 not The Beatles but Merseybeat \u2013 that was unbelievable. It used to inspire me every time. So I wrote Liverpool Sunset. Later it got changed to Waterloo Sunset, but there's still that play on words with Waterloo. London was home, I'd grown up there, but I like to think I could be an adopted Scouser. My heart is definitely there.
Heracleum mantegazzianum, commonly known as giant hogweed, cartwheel-flower, wild parsnip, wild rhubarb, giant cow parsnip, or giant cow parsley, is a plant in the family Apiaceae. It typically grows to heights of 2\u20135 metres (6 ft 7 in\u201316 ft 5 in), sometimes reaching 7 metres (23 ft). Except for size, it closely resembles Common Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium), Heracleum sosnowskyi or Garden
Angelica (Angelica archangelica). It is phototoxic and considered to be a noxious weed in many jurisdictions. Giant Hogweed is native to the Caucasus Region and Central Asia. It was introduced to Britain as an ornamental in the 19th century, and it has also spread to Finland, Germany, France, Belgium, Czech Republic, Latvia, United States and Canada.
The sap of Giant Hogweed causes phytophotodermatitis in humans, resulting in blisters, long-lasting scars, and\u2014if it comes in contact with eyes\u2014blindness. These serious reactions are due to the furocoumarin derivatives in the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds of the plant.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3690682655 - 'A bowl of lovely orange ripe apricots.
The apricot (Prunus armeniaca) is a species of Prunus, classified with the plum in the subgenus Prunus. The native range is somewhat uncertain due to its extensive prehistoric cultivation.
The apricot was known in Armenia during ancient times, and has been cultivated there for so long it is often thought to be native there. Its scientific name Prunus armeniaca (Armenian plum) derives from that assumption. For example, De Poerderl\u00e9, writing in the 18th century, asserted 'Cet arbre tire son nom de l'Arm\u00e9nie, province d'Asie, d'o\u00f9 il est originaire et d'o\u00f9 il fut port\u00e9 en Europe ...' ('this tree takes its name from Armenia, province of Asia, where it is native, and whence it was brought to Europe ...'). An archaeological excavation at Garni in Armenia found apricot seeds in an Eneolithic-era site. However, the Vavilov center of origin locates the origin of the apricot's domestication in the Chinese region, and other sources say the apricot was first cultivated in India in about 3000 BC.
Its introduction to Greece is attributed to Alexander the Great, and the Roman General Lucullus (106\u201357 B.C.) also exported some trees \u2013 the cherry, white heart cherry, and apricot \u2013 from Armenia to Europe. Subsequent sources were often confused about the origin of the species. Loudon (1838) believed it had a wide native range including Armenia, Caucasus, the Himalaya, China, and Japan.
Today the cultivars have spread to all parts of the globe with climates that support it.

Unfortunately the old 'Mr Smiths' has now seen better days. Closed now in its last incarnation as Halo, most people might remember it as the start point of the TV show 'Hitman and Her'.
It was a British television dance music show hosted by (record producer &
keen keen railway enthusiast) Pete Waterman and (Vegetarian Childrens TV star) Michaela Strachan. It ran almost continuously for over four years and three months September 1988 until December 1992.
Mr Smiths was quite a good club, visible from anyone crossing Bridge St into town. Tuesdays was usually a lively night. It was pound a pint in town and all Chinese takeaways were closed that night, hence in Mr Smiths it was often referred to as 'Triad Night', due to all young Chinese things partying.
If you have a memory of the old Mr Smiths, please leave a comment.
One comment I spotted on a blog was this:

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MM9A1B - Dramatic Sunset behind trees in winter, Cheshire, England, UK gives a direct editorial record of a recognisable subject, with location, signage, architecture or everyday behaviour carrying much of the meaning. A dramatic winter sunset behind trees gives a strong seasonal landscape mood, with bare branches and low light suggesting the short days and cold air of the Cheshire countryside. The subject works for weather, climate, rural calm, mental wellbeing, winter travel, evening light and the simple visual appeal of natural silhouettes against a changing sky. Low light, dusk or night conditions add atmosphere and make the subject useful for evening economy, safety and seasonal weather contexts. The location wording gives the subject enough geographic context for local and regional editorial use while avoiding a generic studio feel. For buyers, the strength lies in the combination of a named subject, a lived-in setting and enough visual specificity to carry stories about how places are used, remembered, funded, visited or contested.
