Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FAFD0E - Street-level view of the entrance to The Grapes public house at 27 Church Street in Eccles, Salford, Greater Manchester. Hanging flower baskets brighten the black and white frontage, while grab rails and a red mobility scooter parked beside the doorway emphasise everyday accessibility and the role of traditional pubs as local social spaces used by a wide range of customers. The image is suitable for editorial coverage of British pubs, community venues, town-centre hospitality, real ale, licensed premises, accessibility, mobility, ageing populations and the pressures facing local high streets. Eccles has a long-established town centre with a mixture of historic pubs, shops, markets, transport links and redevelopment sites. Like many traditional pubs, The Grapes forms part of the social and architectural fabric of the centre at a time when the sector faces changing drinking habits, operating costs and competition from other leisure uses. Photographed in August 2026 as a documentary view of everyday pub life and streetscape. The photograph also has value as a record of everyday life in a North West English town at a time of substantial change to high streets, transport, housing and local services. Familiar signs, shops, pubs, roads and community facilities can become important visual evidence as regeneration projects progress and commercial uses change. The scene can support local-history comparisons as well as contemporary reporting on town-centre investment, household costs, accessibility, sustainability and the survival of traditional amenities. It is an unstaged editorial view, showing the subject in its normal physical and social setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6G4 - The exterior of Thompson's Bar, a prominent LGBTQ+ bar situated in Manchester's Gay Village, photographed at 23 Sackville Street, Manchester M1 3NJ. The venue is located close to the Canal Street area, which has been central to Manchester's LGBTQ+ social life for several decades and is internationally recognised as one of the UK's most visible and established gay districts.
The building façade features bold, colourful signage incorporating rainbow imagery, symbolising inclusivity and LGBTQ+ pride. Decorative lighting and hanging baskets contribute to the bar's lively street presence, reflecting the area's role in Manchester's night-time economy and cultural identity.
Manchester's Gay Village has played an important role in the city's social history, activism and visibility for LGBTQ+ communities, particularly from the late twentieth century onwards. Venues such as Thompson's Bar continue to function as social hubs, meeting places and cultural landmarks within the city centre.
Photographed in daylight with urban surroundings visible, the image documents both the physical streetscape of Sackville Street and the wider cultural significance of LGBTQ+ venues within contemporary Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJ3YRD - Buxton Opera House is in The Square, Buxton, Derbyshire, England. It is a 902-seat opera house that hosts the annual Buxton Festival and the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival, among others, as well as pantomime at Christmas, musicals and other entertainments year-round. Hosting live performances until 1927, the theatre then was used mostly as a cinema until 1976. In 1979, it was refurbished and reopened as a venue for live performance.
The Buxton Opera House was built in 1903 and designed by Frank Matcham, who designed the London Palladium, the London Coliseum and many other theatres throughout the UK. The first production at the theatre was Mrs Willoughby's Kiss. The Opera House ran as a successful theatre, receiving touring companies until 1927, when it was turned into a cinema. Silent films were shown until 1932 when the theatre was wired for sound and could present talkies. The Opera House also became the venue for an annual summer theatre festival from 1936 to 1942, two of them in conjunction with Lilian Baylis and her London-based Old Vic company. People who performed at the opera house include the actor Alec Guinness, the comedians Ken Dodd, Peter Kay, Harry Hill, Sarah Millican and John Bishop, the musical artists Howard Jones, Aled Jones, Leo Sayer and Razorlight, and the ballerina Anna Pavlova.
After the Second World War, the theatre continued to serve primarily as a cinema. The building was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1970. The Opera House gradually fell into disrepair.
In 1979, the building was restored, and an orchestra pit was added to the original Matcham design. Since then, the Opera House has been a full-time venue for stage productions, presenting approximately 450 performances per year

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJAFFP - Liverpool Central railway station in Liverpool, England, forms a central hub of the Merseyrail network, being on both the Northern Line and the Wirral Line. The station is located underground on two levels, below the site of a former mainline terminus. It is the busiest station in Liverpool, though considerably smaller than Lime Street station, the mainline terminus, and the busiest station to operate solely on the Merseyrail network. The station is the busiest underground station outside London serving 40,000 people daily. The station in passengers per platform is the busiest underground railway station in the United Kingdom at 5,217,547 per platform per annum and laying third in all stations, underground or overground.
Liverpool Central is one of nine stations on the Merseyrail network to incorporate automatic ticket gates. The main concourse is part of a shopping centre, and includes a closed subway link to the former Lewis's department store
Liverpool Central Low Level underground terminal station opened on 11 January 1892, at the end of the Mersey Railway's route, via the Mersey Railway Tunnel from Birkenhead, when the route was extended from James Street station. The Mersey Railway platforms were underground, accessed from stairs within the High Level station and situated in roughly the same position as the escalators accessing the Northern Line today.
The Mersey Railway tunnel entering Central Low Level from the north of the station was aligned with the High Level station's approach tunnel from the south. This was to ensure minimum engineering work if ever the two tunnels were to be linked up”as did occur in the 1970s.
The Merseyrail network was created in the 1970s by merging separate railways into one integrated network. Central underground station would service the Northern and Wirral Lines.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3CY - This image shows the former Royal Hotel building on St Mary Street in Cardiff city centre, a prominent Victorian-era structure that once operated as one of the city's notable hotels and now houses the Slug & Lettuce bar and restaurant. The stone-fronted facade, with its symmetrical window arrangement and classical detailing, reflects Cardiff's late nineteenth-century commercial architecture and the city's expansion during the industrial and dockland boom years.
The words ROYAL HOTEL remain clearly visible across the upper facade, preserving the building's historic identity despite its modern hospitality use. At street level, contemporary branding and glazing for Slug & Lettuce sit within the original architectural framework, illustrating the adaptive reuse of historic city-centre buildings common across UK high streets.
The photograph appears to have been taken in daylight during warmer months, with people casually dressed and moving along St Mary Street. The pavement looks wet, suggesting recent rain, with subtle reflections adding texture to the urban scene. Overhead tram or utility wires are visible, reinforcing the dense city-centre environment.
St Mary Street is one of Cardiff's principal pedestrian routes, linking shopping, nightlife, and tourism areas, and this building forms part of a continuous historic streetscape that blends heritage architecture with contemporary leisure and retail uses. The image captures both Cardiff's architectural past and its present-day role as a lively capital city destination.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R6AHTX - Queen Victoria by Thomas Thornycroft (1814-1885)
Dated 1869, unveiled in 1870
Bronze on a granite pedestal
St George's Plateau, Liverpool
This striking sculpture of the young Queen Victoria riding side-saddle was commissioned to match the one of Prince Albert already completed by Thornycroft and unveiled in 1866. The Queen's hat is generously plumed, and, appropriately for this position outside St George's Hall, she bears the St. George's riband as a sash across her breast. The fine detail of the statue is most easily seen from below in the embroidered crown and scrolling, as well as the fringe, of the ceremonial saddle-blanket. In a description from the Art Journal, the horse is seen as full of impatient action, which tells on the sway of the figure
an effect difficult to express well in sculpture (qtd. in Cavanagh 95). The Queen holds what looks like a small sceptre, but is actually the handle of a riding crop, the rest of which has been lost. The drape of her voluminous skirt can be seen in the right-hand profile.
According to Bob Speel, this was the piece that made [Thomas Thornycroft's] name. Compare it with his equestrian statuette of the Queen from 1853.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNK2 - This image shows the exterior of Warrington Youth Zone, located on Dallam Lane in Warrington, Cheshire (postcode WA2 7NG). The large, purpose-built facility is designed as a modern youth centre providing safe, supportive spaces and activities for young people from across the town.
Warrington Youth Zone forms part of the national OnSide Youth Zones network, which works in partnership with local authorities, businesses, and charities to deliver affordable access to sports, creative arts, mentoring, and wellbeing services. Buildings of this type are often highly visible, architecturally bold, and positioned as symbols of community investment and regeneration.
The colourful cladding and contemporary design distinguish the building from surrounding urban fabric, reflecting its role as a welcoming and aspirational space for young people. The setting within a redeveloping area of Warrington highlights broader efforts to address youth provision, social inclusion, and community resilience.
Photographed in daylight with surrounding roads and vehicles visible, the image is well suited to editorial use covering youth services, community infrastructure, regeneration projects, charitable organisations, modern civic architecture, and social policy in England

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PYBHDA - Passengers disembark from a Jet2 stock-photo/gotonysmith-Aircraft.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>aircraft on an airport apron at dusk, using mobile stairs in warm evening light after landing. The panoramic image shows travellers leaving the front door of the aircraft, stepping down onto the apron with hand luggage and bags, while another set of mobile stairs is positioned towards the rear. The low evening sun, blue sky, orange horizon, apron markings and open airfield setting make this a strong editorial travel photograph for stories about arrivals, holiday flights, package travel, short-haul aviation, airport operations and passenger handling. The scene captures the practical moment after landing when passengers leave the aircraft away from a jet bridge and move towards the terminal or onward transfer arrangements. The visible Jet2 branding, aircraft stairs, cabin door, passengers, luggage and ground markings give the image clear context for UK and European leisure travel, airport turnaround procedures and the everyday rhythm of budget and holiday airline operations. It is commercially useful for articles on evening arrivals, summer holidays, airport capacity, regional airports, passenger experience, travel disruption, airline punctuality, package holidays, tourism and the changing economics of air travel. The wide panoramic crop adds scale and atmosphere, showing both the aircraft and the surrounding apron rather than a tight close-up of passengers. The picture can also support broader features on aviation emissions, sustainable aviation, low-cost travel, airside safety, ground crew coordination and the pressure on airlines to turn aircraft round efficiently. Care should be taken not to imply boarding, delay or any incident unless supported by separate information, because the visible action is routine passenger disembarkation after arrival. As a documentary stock image, it records a familiar but visually appealing end-of-flight moment, with passengers stepping from aircraft to apron under a calm dusk sky.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P6JJB7 - Eric's Club was a music club in Liverpool, England. It opened on 1 October 1976 in the basement of The Fruit Exchange in Victoria Street, with performances by The Runaways and The Sex Pistols (their only Liverpool gig) before soon moving around the block to its long-term site on Mathew Street opposite The Cavern Club where The Beatles and other bands of the 1960s played, and became notable for hosting early performances by many punk and post-punk bands.[1]
The club was started by Roger Eagle and Ken Testi (manager of cult Liverpool band Deaf School) and joined later by Pete Fulwell (owner of a small record label Inevitable and later to become manager of Liverpool bands It's Immaterial and The Christians). The club was given the name 'Eric's' by Ken Testi as an antidote to disco clubs with names such as 'Tiffany's' and 'Samantha's'
The club played host to many local, national and international bands primarily within the music sub-cultures of the time, such as Elvis Costello, Buzzcocks, The Clash, Joy Division, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cardiacs, The Slits, Talking Heads, The Stranglers, Ultravox, Wire, XTC, X-Ray Spex and early gigs by New Order and Mick Hucknall (pre Simply Red).
The club acted as a catalyst for local musicians (often also from the Runcorn, Southport, Skelmersdale, Wirral areas) and saw many local artists later become successful acts, including Dead or Alive, Echo & the Bunnymen, Julian Cope, The Teardrop Explodes, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Ellery Bop and Wah!

The locality and subject together evoke visual archive, customer footfall, nutrient-rich breakfast, local enterprise, public realm, commercial streetscape, social history, changing land use, regional identity, commercial frontage, street-level trading, everyday nutrition, fresh fruit breakfast, and consumer retail. The wider contemporary story combines healthy eating, consumer choice and the effect of food prices on healthier choices.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KG3TTR - Thomas Harrison designed the new exchange of 1809 at the junction of Market Street and Exchange Street. Harrison designed the exchange in the Classical style. It had two storeys above a basement and was constructed in Runcorn stone. The cost, £20,000, was paid for in advance by 400 members who bought £50 shares and paid £30 each to buy the site. The semi-circular north façade had fluted Doric columns. The exchange room where business was conducted covered 812 square yards. The ground floor also contained the members' library with more than 15,000 books. The basement housed a newsroom lit by a dome and plate-glass windows, its ceiling was supported by a circle of Ionic pillars spaced 15 feet from the walls. The first-floor dining-room was accessed by a geometrical staircase. The exchange opened to celebrate of the birthday of George III in 1809. It also contained other anterooms and offices.
As the cotton trade continued to expand, larger premises were required and its extension was completed in 1849. The Exchange was run by a committee of notable Manchester industrialists. From 1855 to 1860 the committee was chaired by Edmund Buckley.
The second exchange was replaced by a third designed by Mills & Murgatroyd, constructed between 1867 and 1874. It was extended and modified by Bradshaw Gass & Hope between 1914 and 1931 to form the largest trading hall in England. The trading hall had three domes and was double the size of the current hall. The colonnade parallel to Cross Street marked its centre. On trading days merchants and brokers struck deals which supported the jobs of tens of thousands of textile workers in Manchester and the surrounding towns. Manchester's cotton dealers and manufacturers trading from the Royal Exchange earned the city the name, Cottonopolis

Warrington Borough Council's move into its offices in Time Square is bringing significant savings for the local authority, new figures show.
The council relocated from the New Town House site, and other administrative buildings, in late 2020/early 2021, to reduce the excessive running costs of the outdated office accommodation, and provide a better, modern environment for staff and Customers.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>customers.
With council staff now having been at the £23m ˜1 Time Square' building for the past 18 months “ which is a much more efficient building than the previous New Town House site - financial analysis shows that the move to the building is saving the council almost three quarters of a million pounds each year.
Previously, the council paid an annual rent and service charge for the New Town House and Quattro buildings, on top of costs such as business rates and maintenance. In addition, the council paid the running costs of its Rylands Street offices and the Customer Contact Centre on Horsemarket Street. The total equivalent cost for this was £3.1m per year.
As part of the move to Time Square, the council purchased New Town House and Quattro, to fix repayment costs and avoid the uncontrollable escalation associated with leasing the buildings, including being exposed to increasing energy costs in an inefficient building.
Under this new operation, the equivalent costs to the council “ covering the borrowing costs for the building of 1 Time Square and its running costs, along with the continuing annual borrowing costs for purchasing the New Town House and Quattro buildings - are £2.3m. This represents an annual saving for the council of £741,000 a year.
Warrington Borough Council's Cabinet Member for finance, Cllr Cathy Mitchell, said: The move to 1 Time Square has brought huge benefits for the council and our customers. It's provided us with cutting edge, modern facilities

It is served by Avanti West Coast, CrossCountry, Transport for Wales and West Midlands Trains services, and was historically known as Wolverhampton High Level.
History
The first station named Wolverhampton had opened on the edge of the town centre in 1837 on the Grand Junction Railway, this station was renamed Wednesfield Heath in 1855, shortly after the present station was opened, and then was closed in 1873.
On 12 November 1849, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway opened a temporary terminus to its line, at a location very close to the present station.
The present station was opened on 1 July 1852 by the Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Stour Valley Railway, a subsidiary of the London and North Western Railway (LNWR)
it was named Wolverhampton Queen Street. The only visible remnant of the original station is the Queen's Building, the gateway to Railway Drive which was the approach road to the station. The building was originally the carriage entrance to the station and was completed three years before the main station building. Today, it forms part of Wolverhampton bus station.
Two years later, on 1 July 1854, the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway (OWWR) opened a second station, located behind the older station on lower ground, which became known as the Wolverhampton Low Level station from April 1856, the other becoming known as Wolverhampton High Level from 1 June 1885
The station was remodelled after 2020

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M6W9GB - Everyman Theatre is a theatre based in Regent Street, Cheltenham. There are two auditoria in the building - the 675 seat main auditorium and the 60 seat Studio Theatre, originally named The Ralph Richardson Studio after Ralph Richardson.
The Grade II listed building was designed by Frank Matcham and was originally called The New Theatre and Opera House.It was opened on 1 October 1891 with a performance by Lilly Langtry
In 1929, the New Theatre and Opera House gained a licence to screen projected film, becoming a multi-purpose theatre and cinema. The licence stipulated that the building must continue to present live performance as well as cinema.
In World War II, the theatre became a Garrison Theatre, to civilians and the US soldiers based at Pittville. Many actors from London left the capital to escape the Blitz, bringing big names to Cheltenham.
The Cheltenham Corporation ran the building after World War II until 1960. In 1959 the building closed and was at risk of being sold. The Cheltenham Theatre Association published an advertisement in September 1959 advertising Urgent - Wanted £3,000 at once, to re-open Cheltenham Opera House.
In May 1960, the Cheltenham Theatre Association published another advertisement titled Great News, which announced that the Everyman Theatre would open on Monday 22 May 1960 with a world premiere presentation of N.C. Hunter's A Piece of Silver, starring Joyce Heron and Esmond Knight. The Cheltenham Theatre Association rebranded itself as the Everyman Theatre Association (ETA). It enjoyed booking advantages and raised money for the Theatre. Its 50th anniversary in 2010 was a great success
sadly, Covid lockdown prevented the 60th. Members enjoyed a variety of social activities, but, even before lockdown, support diminished and the ETA was wound up in late 2021. The benefits transferred to a new Priority Access Membership scheme administered directly by the theatre.

It is the 62nd largest stadium in England.
Ground was broke at the new site in 2002 and bucked the common trend of modern stadia by including terracing areas rather than being an all-seater stadium, with the South and West stands both containing terracing It also has enormous pitch dimensions of 120 m x 74 m, as requested by Warrington's head coach of the time, Paul Cullen, due to his desire to play expansive rugby. The stadium officially opened in 2004
On 3 March 2011, the club announced that the corners of the East Stand at the stadium would be filled in to create a further 2,000 spaces made up of seating and terracing for the 2012 season. The stadium capacity, set at 15,000 for the first sell-out home match against St. Helens in 2012, was increased to 15,200 and can grow to 15,693 as the club proves it can handle the bigger crowds and get extra safety certificates. The club has also announced plans to increase the stadium's capacity to around 22,000 should the need arise.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02DF - In London's East End, this former Victorian pub brings an airy escape to the streets of Spitalfields. Ideal for staycationers, solo travellers and loved-up duos alike, The Buxton hotel invites you to explore the streets of Shoreditch before heading to its panoramic rooftop for sundown cocktails.
We love a rags-to-riches story, so this Eliza Doolittle-esque tale of an East End boozer given a modern East London makeover warms our Cockney cockles. Housed in a former Victorian pub, The Buxton is a big-hearted homage to Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, a 19th-century MP and previously the owner of the nearby Truman Brewery (itself now a hub for creative businesses and a weekly street-food market). In his day Sir Thomas was committed to abolishing slavery, founding the RSPCA and raising money for the local weaving community - acts of generosity that The Buxton nods to through its work with neighbourhood charity Cardboard Citizens, which uses theatre to tackle the issue of homelessness. Its present incarnation is the work of the team behind nearby Spitalfields gastropub The Culpeper, of gigantic rooftop-gherkin fame. Architect Gareth Roberts and business partner Nico Treguer have revamped the building by adding two extra floors, a rooftop terrace and a stonking street-level restaurant/bar, a much-needed addition to the kebab shops that more commonly characterise this end of Brick Lane.
Interiors avoid the traps of steampunk junk and Edison bulb-lit bareness, instead balancing whitewashed walls and potted plants with cleverly sourced vintage elements such as a Rosso Levanto marble counter, sapphire velvet chairs in the hallways and a 50s terrazzo-patterned floor. While the rooms are compact to say the least, for a flat rate of £100 (including a welcome drink and breakfast) it's a seductive option for staycationers, solo travellers and loved-up duos who fancy travelling no further than a few flights of stairs when going from dinner to duvet.

The period setting at the recorded location helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. Another useful connection is integrated transport and linking trains more effectively with other transport when considered against later change at the recorded location. The scene further reflects clear communication and the balance between access, safety and venue responsibility without losing the local specificity of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAEJ7X - History of Thorn Marine
The Bridgewater canal reach Stockton heath about 1772, the area around London Bridge and Thorn Marine developed over the next few years and became known as Stockton Quays, there was warehousing, an inn, toll house,Blacksmiths, stabling, barns, and bank riders cottages. one of these bank riders cottages became Thorn Marine.
A very successful packet boat service started up running from the London Bridge Inn to Manchester allowing the gentry to travel in style and comfort on the last part of there journey to Manchester, good were also shipped from the warehouse over the road, The boats were in them days pulled by horses, and unusually the horse for the packet boat were trotted along the towpath and were ridden by Bank riders who lived in what is now Thorn Marine.
The quays at thorn marine were also used by Caldwells to ship there tools spades, picks, etc for the gold rush in america and the First World War. The good were shipped to Liverpool where they were loaded onto sea going ships
During the First and second world wars the canal was also used to move munitions and men to Liverpool to be shipped across for the war effort.
Since we took over
We passed Thorn Marine in the spring of 1991 on our 25' Dawncraft Hammie on a two week trip around the Cheshire ring, we noticed it was looking a bit unloved and there was a for sale sign out side.
A few phone calls on our return home we discovered it was still for sale, but not with the agents anymore. After nearly 12 months of negotiations with the vendor and The Manchester ship Canal Company, we finally moved in on the 11th April 1992.
Over the next few years Margaret turned the business around from a fancy good shop back to a chandlery with help from Brian and Nigel when they were not working in their own careers. Brian decided in 1997 to stop paining and decorating and joined Margret working full time in the shop.
In 1997 we too delivery of Rambling Thorn our purpose built day boat

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DA91GR - Forever True's owner and resident tattooer Richie Clarke has been tattooing in his own establishment since 1995, drawing inspiration directly from the tattooing legends of the late 19th and early to mid-20th century.
‹
As well as producing his own unique bold tattoo flash, Richie also repaints faithful reproductions of long lost tattoo designs from tattooing's earliest and most influential fore fathers, Bert Grimm, Joseph Hartley, George Bigmore, Tom Berg (to name but a few). Famous names your great grandfather would like to have visited between the bars and brothels (before he met your great grandmother) during shore leave from Singapore, to the Barbary Coast.
‹
Now thanks to impeccable research, these designs are now available to collect again, repainted with an expert hand as they would have appeared more than half a century ago adorning the walls of tattoo parlours from the sea ports of Europe to the sideshows of Coney Island.
Richie is determined to see these classics live on with a modern audience hungry for original work, Why spend hours trawling the Internet for hours when you could go home with a genuine piece of heritage on your arm, a tattoo is something to be earned not downloaded. Every tattoo told a story, a seasoned veteran, a grieving son, a lost love, and it's no different now, clients still want names of their children, lovers, symbols of life or death, memories or aspirations, but people struggle to find good designs and search the Internet finding images they think are original but in reality probably adorn thousands of others.
‹
They need to trust the old artists, the names who brought tattooing to the West and fashioned classic designs that forged the modern tattoo world. A good tattoo is forever and should outlive the artist & client and that's what these designs have done. I'm a craftsman first and foremost not a fine artist, a folk artist maybe, part of a long line before me. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel...

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55HW8 - Everton Football Club is an English professional association football club based in Liverpool that competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. The club was a founder member of the Football League in 1888, and has, as of May 2023, competed in the top division for a record 120 seasons, having missed only four top-flight seasons (1930“31, 1951“52, 1952“53, and 1953“54). Everton is the club with the second-longest continuous presence in English top-flight football, and ranks third in the all-time points rankings. The club has won nine league titles, five FA Cups, one European Cup Winners' Cup and nine Charity Shields.
Formed in 1878, Everton won their first League Championship during the 1890“91 season. After winning four more League championships and two FA Cups, the club experienced a post-Second World War lull until a revival in the 1960s. A period of sustained success came in the mid-1980s, when Everton won a further two League championships, one FA Cup, and the 1985 European Cup Winners' Cup. The club's most recent major trophy was the 1995 FA Cup.
The club's supporters are colloquially known as Evertonians or Blues. Everton's main rivals are Liverpool, whose home stadium at Anfield is just under one mile away from Everton's home at Goodison Park
the two clubs contest the Merseyside derby. Everton have been based at Goodison Park since 1892, having moved from their original home at Anfield following a disagreement over its rent. The club's home colours are royal blue shirts with white shorts and socks.
Goodison Park is a football stadium in the Walton area of Liverpool, England, 2 miles (3 km) north of the city centre. It has been the home of Premier League club Everton since 1892 and has an all-seated capacity of 39,414.
Goodison Park has hosted more top-flight games than any other stadium in England. It has also been the venue for an FA Cup Final and numerous international fixtures, including a semi-final match in the 1966 World Cup

A further contemporary connection is postal services and how stamps compress art, politics and national identity into small objects within the specific setting of the recorded location. The wider significance includes digital communication and how stamps compress art, politics and national identity into small objects as part of the longer story of the recorded location. Another strand within the photograph is graphic design and the collector interest created by discontinued currencies, states and designs when considered against later change at the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P8KEYD - Bawtry is a small market town and civil parish which lies where the western branch of the Roman Ermine Street crosses the River Idle in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England, close to the county's border with Nottinghamshire, and meets the old course of the Great North Road. Nearby towns include Gainsborough to the east, Retford to the south south-east, Worksop to the south-west and Doncaster to the north-west. Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire, it had a population of 3,204 in the UK census of 2001, increasing to 3,573 at the 2011 Census
Bawtry is located in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster on the border with Nottinghamshire, and is situated between Bircotes and Misson at the conjunction of the A614, A631 and A638 roads. The present A638 was for centuries the Great North Road, and in the 20th century the town was a notorious bottleneck, until it was bypassed in 1965. The county boundary with Nottinghamshire runs just to the south of the town and for this reason the southernmost house on the Great North Road is named 'Number One Yorkshire'.
The town's former prosperity was based on its communications, the River Idle in the days when it was a port, the Great North Road in the coaching era, and the Great Northern Railway.
Bawtry's geographical location is 53° 25' 40 North, 1° 1' West, at an elevation of around 65 feet (20 m) above sea level.
The town is located just south of Doncaster Sheffield Airport, formerly RAF Finningley. Bawtry Hall was home to RAF No.1 Group Bomber Command during and after the Second World War, and became the Headquarters of RAF Strike Command (see RAF Bawtry). From 1989 to 2013 Bawtry Hall operated as a Christian conference centre and a base for several Christian organisations.

Nearby towns include Gainsborough to the east, Retford to the south south-east, Worksop to the south-west and Doncaster to the north-west. Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire, it had a population of 3,204 in the UK census of 2001, increasing to 3,573 at the 2011 Census
Bawtry is located in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster on the border with Nottinghamshire, and is situated between Bircotes and Misson at the conjunction of the A614, A631 and A638 roads. The present A638 was for centuries the Great North Road, and in the 20th century the town was a notorious bottleneck, until it was bypassed in 1965. The county boundary with Nottinghamshire runs just to the south of the town and for this reason the southernmost house on the Great North Road is named 'Number One Yorkshire'.
The town's former prosperity was based on its communications, the River Idle in the days when it was a port, the Great North Road in the coaching era, and the Great Northern Railway.
Bawtry's geographical location is 53° 25' 40 North, 1° 1' West, at an elevation of around 65 feet (20 m) above sea level.
The town is located just south of Doncaster Sheffield Airport, formerly RAF Finningley. Bawtry Hall was home to RAF No.1 Group Bomber Command during and after the Second World War, and became the Headquarters of RAF Strike Command (see RAF Bawtry). From 1989 to 2013 Bawtry Hall operated as a Christian conference centre and a base for several Christian organisations.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GY002A - St Wilfrid's Church is in Church Lane, Grappenhall, a village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth
The church is Norman in origin, built probably in the earlier part of the 12th century and completed about 1120. This was a small and simple church, consisting of a nave, chancel and, possibly, an apse.[3] The foundations of this church were discovered during the 1873“74 restoration.[4]
A chantry chapel was added by the Boydell family in 1334 in a position where the south aisle now stands. From 1529 the church was largely rebuilt in local sandstone. The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built. In 1539 the south aisle was added, which incorporated the Boydell chapel.
The south porch was added in 1641 and at this time the west wall was strengthened. In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built. There was a more substantial restoration in 1873“74 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about £4,000

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4MNN - Half Hangit' Maggie
Maggie Dickson lived in the Early Eighteenth century as a fish hawker and would certainly have remained an anonymous figure had she not been the subject of a public hanging.
Her misfortune began when her husband deserted her in 1723 forcing her to leave the city and move further south to Kelso near the Scottish Borders. Here, she worked for an inkeeper in return for basic lodgings.
Soon after she started an affair with the Innkeeper's son which led to her becoming pregnant, not wanting the innkeeper to discover this as it would surely lead to her instant dismissal she concealed her pregnancy as long as possible. However the baby was born prematurely and died within a few days of being born. Still hiding the baby's existance she planned to put the baby into the River Tweed, but couldn't bring herself to and finally left it on the riverbank.
The same day the baby was discovered and traced to Maggie. She was charged under the contravention of the Concealment of Pregnancy Act and she was taken back to Edinburgh for Trial and execution “ the latter taking place in public in the Grasssmarket on the 2nd September 1724.
After the hanging she was pronounced dead and her body was bound for Musselburgh where she was to be buried, however the journey was interrupted by a knocking and banging from within the wooden coffin.
The lid was lifted to the sight of Maggie, quite alive. The law saw it as God's will and she was freed to live for a further forty years. She became something of a local celebrity and the locals gave her the nickname 'Half Hangit' Maggie.'
Some said that she had seduced and manipulated the ropemaker, to engineer a weaker noose.
A pub in the Grassmarket is named Maggie Dickson's after her memory, which means her name and story will be remembered for some time yet.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4MNF - . Hatherton House with spots Top-Marks building The Spotty Centre, Walsall, West Midlands, England, GB. Photographed on 22 December 2014. The recorded location is The Spotty Centre, Hatherton House, Hatherton Street, Walsall, England, UK WS1 1YB. Walsall Council Planning Department have taken issue with the coloured spots painted on the outside of the Skittle's Centre. The historical context is that 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. From a heritage perspective, images of people at work document changing occupations and working practices
Clothing, equipment and surroundings can reveal how service, craft and professional roles were organised at the time the photograph was made. The subject remains topical in 2026 because the reuse of existing buildings is increasingly discussed alongside conservation, embodied carbon and town-centre regeneration
Images of older façades and converted premises can therefore illustrate both architectural heritage and the practical pressures of adapting buildings for new uses. As of 2026, service work remains central to the British economy while recruitment, pay, automation and changing customer expectations continue to reshape many occupations
Historic and contemporary workplace photographs therefore have relevance to labour, skills and employment as well as the immediate subject. Historically, architecture records the priorities of the period in which a building was designed: materials, ornament, scale and planning can reveal changing technologies, social status and commercial use
Later alterations and changes of tenant add further layers, so a single façade can embody several phases of local history.
