Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4M8E - Editorial photograph of a Wigan Eats sign above a town centre food business, showing the blue and orange branding, the words WIGAN EATS and ORDER ONLINE TODAY , and a logo featuring a pie and fork. The image connects Wigan's local takeaway culture, mobile ordering apps and independent hospitality with the town's wider reputation for pies, pie barms and Wigan Kebab food traditions. It can illustrate local food delivery platforms, alternatives to national takeaway apps, digital ordering, high street hospitality, small business marketing, regional identity, northern food culture and the continued commercial use of place-based branding. The photograph also has editorial relevance to Wigan's May 2026 local election story. Official ward results show Reform UK wins in Wigan Central and Wigan West, while reporting after the election said Reform UK made very large gains across the borough. However, the available post-election summaries indicate Labour still retained overall control of Wigan Council, so the wording should avoid saying Reform became the council's leadership. In political use, this image can illustrate a sharp local electoral shift, Labour losses in a long-standing Labour area, voter disillusionment, right-wing populist campaigning, Nigel Farage's party gaining council seats, and pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer following poor Labour local election results nationally. The sign's upbeat food-ordering message and proud pie symbol sit against a much harder political context, making the image suitable for articles about Wigan, Greater Manchester, local democracy, northern English towns, the cost of living, takeaway spending, hospitality, food delivery technology, town-centre businesses, working-class identity, post-industrial communities, local culture and changing party loyalties. Visible brickwork, the projecting shop sign and daylight street scene give the image a documentary feel for contemporary Britain in spring or early summer.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T10DPJ - H.M.Pasties was set up by Lee Wakeham, an ex-offender with the aim to ˜bring out the good inside' by employing ex-offenders to make and sell delicious handmade Cornish-style pasties.
Inspired by the success of Bad Boys Bakery, The Barker Baker and the Clink Charity
who now boast a 41% reduction in reoffending for people involved in the bakery, H.M.Pasties was born in 2018 with support from the Big Lottery Fund, Forward Trust and the Santander Foundation.
With over 10.5 million people in the UK holding a criminal record many face huge difficulties in gaining employment post sentence due to the stigma that surrounds it.
H.M.Pasties wants to stop talent and lives from being wasted. They are passionate about helping those who feel left behind to find fulfilling work in order to enhance their wellbeing and help them feel part of a thriving local community. By offering a transitional employment programme which provides training and support ex-offenders can become ready for the world of work, making long term employment a reality.
H.M.Pasties was created to supply high quality, handmade traditional pasties and other baked goods to customers across Greater Manchester and add real social benefit.
This is achieved by not only sourcing ingredients from the Prison Estate but also by employing people with convictions in the manufacture, sales and distribution of the pasties whilst simultaneously offering peer mentoring support to enable them to build new careers and live a life free of crime.
In order to become a truly independent, self sustaining business, HM Pasties is now a stand alone limited company looking to build on our now established brand to create even more social impact.
Dignity, self-respect and a stable income are crucial to preventing reoffending, and securing employment is the key to achieving those goals.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AF144E - Bag For Life,Weinholts,bakery,Alderley Edge,Cheshire,England,UK is a useful documentary subject because it fixes a recognisable place, object or activity in its real setting rather than presenting it as a staged illustration. A bakery bag for life from Alderley Edge turns a small retail item into evidence of changing shopping habits, brand loyalty and the attempt to reduce single-use plastic. The subject can illustrate reusable bags, local bakeries, sustainable consumer behaviour, Cheshire high streets, food retail, packaging design and everyday environmental choices. The location detail, Alderley Edge, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. It would suit newspaper, magazine, web, council, transport, heritage, housing, retail, travel or social-commentary use where a believable, unpolished view of real life is more valuable than a generic illustration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXKGP - Greengage fruit are identified by their round-oval shape and smooth-textured, pale green flesh
they are on average smaller than round plums but larger than mirabelle plums (usually between 2 and 4 cm diameter).
The skin ranges in colour from green to yellowish, with a pale blue blush in some cultivars
a few Reine Claudes “ such as 'Graf Althanns' “, are reddish-purple due to crossbreeding with other plums. Greengages are grown in temperate areas and are known for the rich, confectionery flavour. They are considered to be among the finest dessert plums.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCE78T - The present market, located on Southwark Street and Borough High Street just south of Southwark Cathedral on the southern end of London Bridge, is a successor to one that originally adjoined the end of London Bridge. It was first mentioned in 1276, although the market itself claims to have existed since 1014 and probably much earlier and was subsequently moved south of St Margaret's church on the High Street. The City of London received a royal charter from Edward VI in 1550 to control all markets in Southwark (see Guildable Manor), which was confirmed by Charles II in 1671. However, the market caused such traffic congestion that, in 1754, it was abolished by an Act of Parliament.
The Act allowed for the local parishioners to set up another market on a new site, and in 1756, it began again on a 4.5-acre (18,000 m2) site in Rochester Yard. During the 19th century, it became one of London's most important food markets due to its strategic position near the riverside wharves of the Pool of London.
The retail market operates Monday to Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The wholesale market operates on all weekday mornings from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Three attackers from the 2017 London Bridge attack ran to the area, where they stabbed and killed people with knives before they were shot dead by armed police. The market was then closed for 11 days following the attack

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BGRC71 - A pasty is a British baked pastry, a traditional variety of which is particularly associated with Cornwall, South West England, but has spread all over the British Isles. It is made by placing an uncooked filling, typically meat and vegetables, in the middle of a flat shortcrust pastry circle, bringing the edges together in the middle, and crimping over the top to form a seal before baking.
The traditional Cornish pasty, which since 2011 has had Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status in Europe, is filled with beef, sliced or diced potato, swede (also known as yellow turnip or rutabaga “ referred to in Cornwall and other parts of the West Country as turnip) and onion, seasoned with salt and pepper, and baked. Today, the pasty is the food most associated with Cornwall. It is a traditional dish and accounts for 6% of the Cornish food economy. Pasties with many different fillings are made, and some shops specialise in selling pasties.
The origins of the pasty are unclear, though there are many references to them throughout historical documents and fiction. The pasty is now popular worldwide because of the spread of Cornish miners and sailors from across Cornwall, and variations can be found in Australia, Mexico, the United States, Ulster and elsewhere.
Pasties resemble turnovers from many other cuisines and cultures, including the bridie in Scotland, empanada in Spanish-speaking countries, pirog in Eastern Europe, samsa in Central Asia, curry puff in Southeast Asia, and shaobing in China

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4608369781 - 'Dave and Sarah's shop is the latest business to earn a decent crust in Crewe. It was Officially opened by Councillor Margaret Simon, who is Mayor for Cheshire East. This is the first francise for the Brampton Pie Company outside Cambridgeshire.
Slightly cheesily at the official opening Councillor Simon said, \u201cIt\u2019s a great vote of confidence that Brampton\u2019s has chosen to set up in Crewe and can only add to the town\u2019s economic growth. I have also become a personal fan and regularly pop in for a pie at lunchtime, as they are located irresistibly close to Crewe\u2019s Municipal Buildings.\u201d I did not check with Dave and Sarah how many pies had in fact been purchased / consumed by the local elected elite, when I popped in to say hello to my old work mate.
Crewe is in fact slightly south of what I would probably term 'Pie Central' in the UK, Wigan. While justly famous for its 1970's Northern Soul 'Wigan casino' pies are a large slice of the Wigan economy.
The annual World Pie Eating Championship is usually held at Harry's Bar on Wallgate, Wigan. The competition has been held since 1992. In 2006, due to relentless pressure from the Vegetarian Society a vegetarian version was added.
In the 2006 competition, the meat and potato pies were all 12 cm (5 in) in diameter with a depth of 3.5 cm (1.5 in). In the separate vegetarian contest, the pies were 10 cm (4 in) by 3 cm (1.2 in).[3]
In the 2007 competition, entries included a competitor's dog, Charlie, who had eaten 20 pies and damaged a further 10 the night before the competition, nearly jeopardising the event.
The last two years victors have been
Fred Wyatt, a 61-year-old warehouse packer won the 2008 Championship, which was broadcast live on the internet by pay-per-view. In 2009
Barry Rigby, a warehouseman won, eating a pie in a record 45 seconds.
Controversy was caused in 2005 when pies were imported (out of the Wigan area) from nearby Farnworth, Bolton and local Wigan pies were sidelined, resulting in a four-man strong protest. A similar situation arose in 2009, with pies being sourced from Adlington.
More controversy was caused in 2006 when the competition was changed (to meet government healthy-eating guidelines) from the number of pies consumed in a given time, to the fastest time to consume a single pie.
Wiganers are proud to be called pie-eaters, but the nickname is not thought to be because of their appetite for the delicacy. The name is said to date from the 1926 General Strike when Wigan miners were starved back to work before their counterparts in surrounding towns and were forced to eat 'humble pie'.
