Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX18A8 - An editorial photograph of a traditional real ale bar showing a freshly poured pint of cask beer standing on the counter beside a chalkboard listing cask ales currently on offer, with several polished hand pumps visible behind the bar. The scene captures the atmosphere of an authentic British pub interior, with warm low lighting, spirit bottles on back shelves, branded pump clips, bar mats and working cellar-dispense equipment all contributing to a strong sense of place. The handwritten beer board advertises changing guest ales including Salopian Shropshire Gold, Brentwood Legacy, D G Mortons Proper Gander, Little Critters Wartley Tropical and Merlin Mythic IPA, with ABV and prices noted, making the image especially useful for themes linked to beer choice, rotating cask lines, independent breweries and pub merchandising. This is a highly usable image for editorial or commercial features about real ale culture, CAMRA, pub interiors, hospitality venues, licensed trade, beer tourism, draught beer service, traditional hand-pulled ale and the social life of pubs in Britain. The composition combines several recognisable elements of the UK pub trade: brass beer engines, a dark wood counter, point-of-sale pump badges, an ale offer board and a newly served pint with a light foamy head ready for the customer. Search relevance is strengthened by terms such as cask ale bar, beer pumps, pub chalkboard, handpulled bitter, guest ales, ale selection, bar service, cellar conditioned beer, pint of ale, pub counter, traditional inn, hospitality industry, drinks retail, British pub culture and beverage marketing. The image also works as a documentary record of how pubs present changing local and regional beers, encouraging drinkers to try before they buy and reinforcing the heritage and ritual of the hand-pulled pint in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJPXWN - Phrenology is a pseudoscience that involves the measurement of bumps on the skull to predict mental traits. It is based on the concept that the brain is the organ of the mind, and that certain brain areas have localized, specific functions or modules. It was said that the brain was composed of different muscles, so those that were used more often were bigger, resulting in the different skull shapes. This led to the reasoning behind why everyone had bumps on the skull in different locations. The brain muscles not being used as frequently remained small and were therefore not present on the exterior of the skull. Although both of those ideas have a basis in reality, phrenology generalized beyond empirical knowledge in a way that departed from science. The central phrenological notion that measuring the contour of the skull can predict personality traits is discredited by empirical research. Developed by German physician Franz Joseph Gall in 1796, the discipline was influential in the 19th century, especially from about 1810 until 1840. The principal British centre for phrenology was Edinburgh, where the Edinburgh Phrenological Society was established in 1820.

Phrenology is today recognized as pseudoscience. The methodological rigor of phrenology was doubtful even for the standards of its time, since many authors already regarded phrenology as pseudoscience in the 19th century. There have been various studies conducted that discredited phrenology, most of which were done with ablation techniques. Marie-Jean-Pierre Flourens demonstrated through ablation that the cerebrum and cerebellum accomplish different functions. He found that the impacted areas never carried out the functions that were proposed through the pseudoscience, phrenology

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NAWGJT - The Black Country is a loosely defined area of southern Staffordshire and northern Worcestershire which lies to the north and west of Birmingham, and to the south and east of Wolverhampton. The town of Dudley (Worcestershire) is sometimes referred to as being the Black Country's unofficial capital.
The Black Country is divided between the counties of Stafford and Worcester, the greater part belonging to Staffordshire. Dudley is a detached part of Worcestershire surrounded by Staffordshire, separated from the main body of its own shire by a narrow strip.
By the late 19th century, the Black Country had become one of the most intensely industrialised in the nation. The South Staffordshire coal mines, the coal coking operations, and the iron foundries and steel mills that used the local coal to fire their furnaces, produced a level of air pollution that had few equals anywhere in the world at the time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2N330D4 - CAMRA-acclaimed Appleton Thorn Village Hall bar in Cheshire is shown with a real ale tasting paddle, handpull beer pumps, illuminated bar counter and a chalkboard listing cask ales from breweries including Castle Rock, Salamander, Portobello, Acorn, Abbeydale and Tiny Rebel. The image captures a traditional volunteer-supported community bar at the heart of village life, where members and guests can enjoy real ale, cider, craft beer and social conversation in a local village hall rather than a commercial pub chain. Appleton Thorn Village Hall describes its bar as offering a warm welcome to members, while CAMRA notes that the hall has been CAMRA National Club of the Year more than once, with real ales mainly from independent breweries, many from Cheshire and North Wales, and third-pint paddles available. The photograph is commercially useful for stories about CAMRA, real ale, cask beer, volunteer-run bars, community pubs, village halls, social clubs, beer tasting, local breweries, hospitality, rural community life and the survival of traditional beer culture. The visible chalkboard prices, polished brass handpulls, beer mats, pump clips, tasting glasses and wooden paddle give the scene strong documentary detail and make it useful for editorial coverage of beer choice, cellar quality, community volunteering, club membership, social drinking and the role of village halls as informal public spaces. It can also illustrate wider debate about pub closures, rising hospitality costs, changing drinking habits, beer duty, local fundraising, independent brewing and the value of community-owned or community-run social venues. The warm indoor lighting, stocked back bar and line-up of different beer styles create an inviting image of real ale culture, showing not just a drink but a social tradition built around local knowledge, volunteers, conversation and shared community effort.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DD8H50 - Lobster trap or lobster pot is a portable trap that traps lobsters or crayfish and is used in lobster fishing. In Scotland (chiefly in the north), the word creel is used to refer to a device used to catch lobsters and other crustaceans. A lobster trap can hold several lobsters. Lobster traps can be constructed of wire and wood, or metal and netting or rigid plastic. An opening permits the lobster to enter a tunnel of netting or other one-way device. Pots are sometimes constructed in two parts, called the chamber or kitchen, where there is bait, and exits into the parlour, which prevents escape. Lobster pots are usually dropped to the sea floor, one or more at a time, sometimes up to 40 or more, and are marked by a buoy so they can be picked up later.
The lobster trap was invented in 1808 by Ebenezer Thorndike of Swampscott, Massachusetts
Crayfish is a Freshwater (related) lobster
The Lobster Liberation Front (LLF) is an animal rights campaign which first appeared on the coast of Dorset, England in 2004, later spreading to Wales and Scotland. Their methods include releasing lobsters in live storage and sabotaging lobster pots or fishing boats.
The LLF consider boiling lobsters alive (the traditional method for cooking them) unacceptable and use direct action to prevent it. Their claim that lobsters, which possess a rudimentary nervous system, can feel pain, is the subject of ongoing scientific debate

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy T3RF4J - Terracotta, terra cotta or terra-cotta
Italian: baked earth, from the Latin terra cocta), a type of earthenware, is a clay-based unglazed or glazed ceramic, where the fired body is porous. Terracotta is the term normally used for sculpture made in earthenware, and also for various practical uses including vessels (notably flower pots), water and waste water pipes, roofing tiles, bricks, and surface embellishment in building construction. The term is also used to refer to the natural brownish orange color of most terracotta, which varies considerably.
This article covers the senses of terracotta as a medium in sculpture, as in the Terracotta Army and Greek terracotta figurines, and architectural decoration. Asian and European sculpture in porcelain is not covered. Glazed architectural terracotta and its unglazed version as exterior surfaces for buildings were used in Asia for some centuries before becoming popular in the West in the 19th century. Architectural terracotta can also refer to decorated ceramic elements such as antefixes and revetments, which made a large contribution to the appearance of temples and other buildings in the classical architecture of Europe, as well as in the Ancient Near East.
In archaeology and art history, terracotta is often used to describe objects such as figurines not made on a potter's wheel. Vessels and other objects that are or might be made on a wheel from the same material are called earthenware pottery
the choice of term depends on the type of object rather than the material or firing technique. Unglazed pieces, and those made for building construction and industry, are also more likely to be referred to as terracotta, whereas tableware and other vessels are called earthenware (though sometimes terracotta if unglazed), or by a more precise term such as faience.

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 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 2K3XN94 - Rhubarb forcers are bell-shaped pots with a lidded opening at the top, used to cover rhubarb to limit photosynthesis. They encourage the plant to grow early in the season and also to produce blanched stems. The pots are placed over two- to three-year-old rhubarb crowns during winter or very early spring. Once shoots appear the lid is taken off, causing them to grow towards the light.
Around 18 inches (46 cm) high and 14 inches (36 cm) wide without the lid, they are traditionally made of terracotta but can be as simple as an upside down plastic bucket

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DC8D - Sugar is the generalized name for sweet, short-chain, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food. They are carbohydrates, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are various types of sugar derived from different sources.
Simple sugars are called monosaccharides and include glucose (also known as dextrose), fructose and galactose. The table or granulated sugar most customarily used as food is sucrose, a disaccharide. (In the body, sucrose hydrolyses into fructose and glucose.) Other disaccharides include maltose and lactose. Longer chains of sugars are called oligosaccharides.
Chemically-different substances may also have a sweet taste, but are not classified as sugars. Some are used as lower-calorie food substitutes for sugar described as artificial sweeteners.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ECW4HB - Close-up editorial image inside The Albion, a traditional real-ale pub on Park Street in Chester, showing a humorous blackboard drinks sign mocking lager culture from a cask-ale point of view. The chalked message advertises this week's lager with the deliberately crude punchline I can't believe it's not piss!! , using pub humour, beer snobbery and blunt northern wit to suggest that mass-produced lager lacks the flavour, character and authenticity of real ale. The scene captures the long-running cultural divide in British pubs between hand-pulled cask beer and colder, more industrial lager brands, with the joke implying that lager is so bland it may as well have been recycled from the toilets. The image is rich in pub atmosphere, with warm timber, traditional signage and a shallow depth of field that throws the background poster out of focus while keeping the joke board sharp. Useful themes include real ale, cask ale, CAMRA culture, pub banter, landlord humour, beer marketing, anti-lager sentiment, traditional pub interiors, humorous notices, chalkboard sign, British drinking culture, Chester pubs, Cheshire tourism, independent pubs, heritage hospitality, eccentric bar display, and consumer attitudes to taste and quality in beer. It works as a documentary photograph of pub culture, ale-house identity, and the performative rivalry between lager drinkers and cask-ale loyalists in England. The board also reflects the kind of knowingly exaggerated sarcasm often found in long-established free houses, where personality, conversation, and local character are part of the product as much as the drink itself. For picture researchers, editors and travel writers, the frame offers strong keywords around pub signs, beer jokes, UK leisure, food and drink tourism, old-school boozers, local humour, hand-written messages, and authentic Chester interiors rather than polished chain-pub branding.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHRB5 - Jiggering and jolleying: These operations are carried out on the potter's wheel and allow the time taken to bring wares to a standardized form to be reduced. Jiggering is the operation of bringing a shaped tool into contact with the plastic clay of a piece under construction, the piece itself being set on a rotating plaster mould on the wheel.
The jigger tool shapes one face while the mould shapes the other. Jiggering is used only in the production of flat wares, such as plates, but a similar operation, jolleying, is used in the production of hollow-wares such as cups.
Jiggering and jolleying have been used in the production of pottery since at least the 18th century. In large-scale factory production, jiggering and jolleying are usually automated, which allows the operations to be carried out by semi-skilled labour.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHRN5 - Interior view of the historic colour room at Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, showing shelves filled with old labelled jars and containers used for ceramic colours, stains, pigments and glaze materials. The black, grey, cream and brown storage pots, worn paper labels and utilitarian wooden shelving give the image a strong documentary feel, recording the practical back-room materials behind Staffordshire pottery decoration. Visible labels appear to include colour names and coded recipes, suggesting the careful organisation needed by decorators, paintresses, gilders and colour room workers in a busy potbank. Gladstone Pottery Museum is a preserved Victorian pottery factory on Uttoxeter Road, Longton, and its displays interpret the industrial processes that made Stoke-on-Trent internationally known as The Potteries. The site is associated with bottle ovens, kilns, workshops, decorating rooms and the everyday labour of ceramic production, from clay preparation and firing to glazing, colour, enamel and gilding. This image is useful for editorial and commercial themes around British ceramics, Staffordshire industry, museum collections, craft skills, heritage conservation, industrial archaeology, social history, factory interiors, material culture, pottery design, ceramic chemistry and traditional trades. The colour room shows that the success of tableware and decorative pottery depended not only on kilns and clay, but on specialist knowledge of colours, oxides, recipes and finishes. The muted indoor light, dusty shelves and ageing jars create an atmospheric visual for articles about Longton heritage, Stoke tourism, manufacturing history, education, preservation and the fragile survival of workshop objects. It can also support features on hand decoration, pottery painting, women's work in ceramics, archives of industrial knowledge and the wider story of how North Staffordshire became a global centre for ceramic manufacture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHRPN - Close-up detail of an aged paper label on a dark glazed ceramic colour jar in the historic colour room at Gladstone Pottery Museum, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The worn label appears to read Water Green 1025, with the word PASTE partly visible below, suggesting a stored ceramic colour, stain, glaze ingredient or decorating material used in pottery production. The cracked paper, faded stencilled lettering, dark reflective jar surface and subdued indoor light give the image a strong documentary quality, concentrating attention on the everyday workshop records and materials behind Staffordshire ceramics. Gladstone Pottery Museum is a preserved Victorian pottery factory on Uttoxeter Road in Longton, part of the historic Potteries district of Stoke-on-Trent. Its displays interpret the labour, craft and industrial processes behind pottery manufacture, including clay preparation, throwing, moulding, firing, decorating, colour and gilding. This image is commercially useful for editorial features on British ceramics, ceramic pigments, pottery colour chemistry, glaze recipes, industrial heritage, museum collections, craft skills, material culture, factory interiors, conservation, local history and traditional trades. The jar label is a small but telling object, showing how colours and recipes were identified, stored and controlled within a working potbank. It can support stories about ceramic design, hand decoration, pottery painting, paintresses, colour room workers, Clarice Cliff context, Stoke tourism, Longton heritage and the preservation of specialist industrial knowledge. The close crop removes wider context and makes the image suitable as an atmospheric background or detail shot for articles about pigments, historic workshops, archive materials, industrial archaeology and the way North Staffordshire became internationally known for pottery and ceramic manufacture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHRRJ - Close-up detail of a worn paper label reading Pink 1375 on a ceramic colour jar in the historic colour room at Gladstone Pottery Museum, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire. The cracked, aged label, black stencilled lettering and dark glazed storage vessel give the photograph a strong documentary feel, showing the practical materials behind pottery decoration rather than the finished ware. The image is useful for editorial and commercial themes around Staffordshire ceramics, The Potteries, colour mixing, ceramic stains, pigments, oxides, glaze ingredients, craft skills, industrial heritage, museum collections, factory interiors and the working culture of a traditional potbank. Gladstone Pottery Museum is a preserved Victorian pottery factory on Uttoxeter Road in Longton, part of Stoke-on-Trent's internationally known ceramics landscape. The museum's displays interpret the processes and supporting rooms that helped make pottery production possible, including throwing, moulding, decorating, firing, colour and gilding. This image concentrates on a small but important object: a labelled colour container, probably once used to identify or store a particular pink ceramic decorating colour or pigment. The torn paper, creases, stains and utilitarian typography suggest repeated workshop use, careful storage and the everyday knowledge of decorators, painters and colour room workers. It can support articles on British manufacturing history, pottery design, ceramic chemistry, women's work in ceramics, Clarice Cliff context, museum conservation, material culture, education, heritage tourism and North Staffordshire industrial archaeology. The close crop, muted indoor light and absence of people make it flexible as an atmospheric background image for stories about colour recipes, factory records, historic craft processes, traditional trades, local identity and the preservation of workshop objects that explain how the Potteries became a global centre for ceramics.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHRT7 - Interior detail of the historic colour room at Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, showing rows of labelled ceramic colour jars stored on wooden shelving. The black, grey, cream and brown containers, worn paper labels and dusty setting evoke the working world of a Staffordshire potbank, where colours, stains, oxides and decorating materials were part of making and finishing pottery. Visible labels appear to include colour names such as celeste, cobalt blue and pink, linking the image with ceramic decoration, glaze preparation and the specialist materials used by decorators and painters. Gladstone Pottery Museum is a preserved Victorian pottery factory on Uttoxeter Road, Longton, and its displays explain the jobs and rooms that supported production, from clay preparation and throwing to firing, decorating, colour and gilding. This image is useful for editorial and commercial themes around Stoke-on-Trent ceramics, The Potteries, industrial heritage, museum collections, craft skills, British manufacturing, pigment storage, colour chemistry, pottery design, ceramic art, factory interiors, heritage conservation and educational interpretation. The shelves suggest the careful organisation and practical knowledge behind mass-produced tableware, sanitary ware and decorative ceramics, where colour recipes and materials could be vital to a factory's identity and output. The subdued indoor light, utilitarian shelving and aged containers give the photograph a strong documentary feel, suitable for features about Victorian industry, social history, craft labour, museum learning, traditional trades and the cultural legacy of North Staffordshire. It can also support stories about Clarice Cliff, ceramic decoration, colour in design, pottery painting, artisan skills, industrial archaeology, tourism in Stoke-on-Trent and the preservation of workshop objects that help explain how the Potteries became internationally known for ceramics.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHTMD - Portrait view of the historic bottle kilns at Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, a preserved Victorian pottery works in the heart of the Potteries. The photograph shows the distinctive cone-shaped brick bottle ovens rising above a cobbled yard, with warm red brick walls, green painted doors, wooden railings, chimney stacks, saggar containers and pottery yard details creating a strong sense of industrial heritage. The sky is dark and overcast, with dramatic cloud and subdued light giving the scene a moody atmosphere suited to heritage, tourism and history features. Gladstone Pottery Museum is housed in a former coal-fired pottery factory and is known for its surviving bottle ovens, which are among the most powerful visual symbols of Stoke-on-Trent's ceramics industry. The museum explains the skills and working conditions behind pottery production, including clay preparation, throwing, moulding, decorating, firing and the use of saggars to protect ware inside kilns. This image is highly relevant for editorial and commercial use on Stoke-on-Trent, Longton, Staffordshire tourism, ceramic manufacturing, industrial archaeology, Victorian factories, working museums, craft skills, heritage conservation, regeneration, local identity and the story of the Six Towns. Bottle kilns once dominated the skyline of North Staffordshire, but surviving examples are now important listed heritage structures. Gladstone is listed by Stoke museums at Uttoxeter Road, Longton, and specialist bottle oven records identify the site as having four updraught bottle ovens and a muffle kiln within the Longton Conservation Area. The vertical composition, strong architectural forms and textured brickwork make the image useful for travel guides, educational publishing, museum promotion, British industrial history, ceramics features, pottery design, kiln technology, craft tourism and stories about preserving the built legacy of the Staffordshire Potteries.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHRXT - The mosaic is built on a low brick plinth. The structure has a breeze block support and makes use of recycled Victorian blue bricks as well as slate for the seats on either side.
The whole structure is faced in ceramic mosaics, pieces from local ceramic companies' products, glass beads, and tiles.
A number of themes have been incorporated into the design, including animals and plants indigenous to the area, a picture of the church, together with mouldings of heads and other features from gravestones and monuments in the churchyard, images of the traditional coal and bottle kilns that made the city famous, as well as high-tech industries, a tribute to Sir Stanley Matthews, whose funeral service was held at the Church, and a depiction of the Trent and Mersey Canal merging into the Sea of Galilee and then into the River Trent as it wraps round the base of the mosaic, unifying the design for the whole structure. Within this ribbon of mosaic, ammonites and different varieties of fish are depicted.
On the front of the bench, facing away from the church, are plaques depicting St Peter's Church and School, interspersed with heads, both European and Asian. The base of the seat features an image of two men in a boat, with a mast in the shape of an upside-down cross and two crossed keys (both emblems of St Peter, to whom the nearby church is dedicated).
The wildlife depicted on the right hand end of the bench includes a bat with outstretched wings, a squirrel, a rabbit, a frog, a snail, a fox, a butterfly, a robin, a blackbird, a magpie, a hedgehog and a wren.
The back of the bench celebrates the industrial heritage of Stoke on Trent. Its designs includes plaques featuring men in flat caps carrying pots to the kiln on wooden boards, bottle kilns, pit winding gear and factory chimneys. These are interspersed with smaller pieces commemorating the pottery produced in the area. Below the seat, the central design is of two cartoon-like figures in a canal barge.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHT09 - The mosaic is built on a low brick plinth. The structure has a breeze block support and makes use of recycled Victorian blue bricks as well as slate for the seats on either side.
The whole structure is faced in ceramic mosaics, pieces from local ceramic companies' products, glass beads, and tiles.
A number of themes have been incorporated into the design, including animals and plants indigenous to the area, a picture of the church, together with mouldings of heads and other features from gravestones and monuments in the churchyard, images of the traditional coal and bottle kilns that made the city famous, as well as high-tech industries, a tribute to Sir Stanley Matthews, whose funeral service was held at the Church, and a depiction of the Trent and Mersey Canal merging into the Sea of Galilee and then into the River Trent as it wraps round the base of the mosaic, unifying the design for the whole structure. Within this ribbon of mosaic, ammonites and different varieties of fish are depicted.
On the front of the bench, facing away from the church, are plaques depicting St Peter's Church and School, interspersed with heads, both European and Asian. The base of the seat features an image of two men in a boat, with a mast in the shape of an upside-down cross and two crossed keys (both emblems of St Peter, to whom the nearby church is dedicated).
The wildlife depicted on the right hand end of the bench includes a bat with outstretched wings, a squirrel, a rabbit, a frog, a snail, a fox, a butterfly, a robin, a blackbird, a magpie, a hedgehog and a wren.
The back of the bench celebrates the industrial heritage of Stoke on Trent. Its designs includes plaques featuring men in flat caps carrying pots to the kiln on wooden boards, bottle kilns, pit winding gear and factory chimneys. These are interspersed with smaller pieces commemorating the pottery produced in the area. Below the seat, the central design is of two cartoon-like figures in a canal barge.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM9AWT - Boddingtons Brewery was a regional brewery in Manchester, England, which owned pubs throughout the North West. Boddingtons was best known for Boddingtons Bitter (Boddies), a straw-golden, hoppy bitter which was one of the first beers to be packaged in cans containing a widget, giving it a creamy draught-style head. In the 1990s, the beer was promoted as The Cream of Manchester in a popular advertising campaign credited with raising Manchester's profile. Boddingtons became one of the city's most famous products after Manchester United and Coronation Street.
Whitbread bought Boddingtons Brewery in 1989 and Boddingtons Bitter received an increased marketing budget and nationwide distribution. Boddingtons achieved its peak market share in 1997 and at the time was exported to over forty countries. Boddingtons beer brands are now owned by the global brewer Anheuser“Busch InBev which acquired the Whitbread Beer Company in 2000. Strangeways Brewery closed in 2004 and production of pasteurised (keg and can) Boddingtons was moved to Samlesbury in Lancashire. Production of the cask conditioned beer moved to Hydes Brewery in Moss Side, Manchester, until it was discontinued in 2012, ending the beer's association with the city.
The Boddingtons two bees logo was introduced in 1900. The bees are a symbol of Manchester, from a time when it was a hive of industry, but the two bees also represent a pun on the company name of Boddingtons Breweries.
Boddingtons largely eschewed above the line advertising until 1987, when it was first advertised on Granada television in the North West of England. The tagline from 1987 until 1991 was If you don't get Boddies, you'll just get bitter. Under Whitbread's custodianship the comedian Frankie Howerd fronted the campaign in a series of six television advertisements which mainly aired in the North West in 1990“1991. Lowe Howard-Spink was the advertising agency responsible for the Howerd advertisements.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4535145127 - 'When in Rome as they say..... Here you can see the copper pot stills, each over 20 feet high. Malt is whisky made entirely from malted barley and distilled in an onion-shaped pot still such as these.
Ledaig is the original name for the Tobermory Scotch whisky distillery on the isle of Mull, western Scotland. The distillery was founded in 1798 and the present buildings were erected during its first period of operation which continued until 1826. The distillery was 'silent' for long periods in the mid 1800s and mid 1900s and was twice revived during the 1970s. Now it has been revived again
The distillery belongs currently to Burn Stewart, closed in 1975, and reopened in 1990. Its main product, Tobermory single malt is used in the blends 'Scottish Leader' and 'Black Prince'. The distillery also produces a smaller amount of peated whisky, Ledaig (not quite as peaty as Lafroig). It is just to the left of the colourful harbour.
Single Malts mature at the Deanston Distillery in sherry and bourbon casks, they are then returned to Tobermory for the last few years. Burn Stewart also own this facility. Tobermory the Malt Scotch Whisky is presented in a bottle with an enamelled label. It is a vatted malt containing some Tobermory whiskies of up to 20-years old and proportions of newly-mature spirit from elsewhere.
Vatted malt is blended from malt whiskies from different distilleries. If a whisky is labelled 'pure malt' or just 'malt' it is almost certain to be a vatted whisky. This is also sometimes labelled as 'blended malt' whisky.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3813283684 - 'A traditional village scene from the village pub in Lea, Gloucestershire, UK near Ross-On-Wye. (not far from Mitcheldean, forest of Dean on the edge of Wales)
Pub games like this are the backbone of a night out and I cannot even remember if this pub had a fruit machine or a juke box music machine. This is a great little country pub doing great meals at good prices. Rabbit pie, pigeon and venison with veg, just watch out for teh lumps of leadshot!
Wikipedia describes dominos thus:
In the area of mathematical tilings and polyominoes, the word domino often refers to any rectangle formed from joining two congruent squares edge to edge. The traditional Sino-European domino set consists of 28 dominoes, colloquially nicknamed bones, cards, tiles, tickets, stones, or spinners. Each domino is a rectangular tile with a line dividing its face into two square ends. Each end is marked with a number of spots (also called pips) or is blank. The backs of the dominoes in a set are indistinguishable, either blank or having some common design. A domino set is a generic gaming device, similar to playing cards or dice, in that a variety of games can be played with a set.
The oldest domino sets have been dated from around 1120 A.D. Modern dominoes, as most of the Western world knows them, however, appear to be a Chinese invention. They were apparently derived from cubic dice, which had been introduced into China from India some time in the distant past. Each domino originally represented one of the 21 results of throwing two dice. One half of each domino is set with the pips from one die and the other half contains the pips from the second die. Chinese sets also introduce duplicates of some throws and divide the dominoes into two classes: military and civil. Chinese dominoes are also longer than typical European dominoes. Over time Chinese dominoes also evolved into the tile set used to play Mah Jong, a game which swept across the United States in the early to mid 1920s and has enjoyed moderate popularity, especially in its 'solitaire' form, since that time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHRCT - A George Jennings Closet of the Century water closet on display at Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, showing the overlap between Victorian sanitary engineering, ceramic manufacturing and everyday social history. The white glazed ceramic toilet bowl carries red lettering reading The Closet of the Century and George Jennings Patent, Stangate, London , with pipework and a flush handle visible beside the museum exhibit. Jennings was an important nineteenth century sanitary ware supplier and innovator, associated with public lavatories, improved water closet design and the wider Victorian movement towards cleaner towns, better drainage and public health reform. The Science Museum notes that models of Jennings' patent water closets were made from earthenware, metal and mahogany and may have been used as sales models during the International Health Exhibitions of the 1890s. This photograph has strong editorial and commercial value for stories about toilet history, public health, sanitation, Victorian invention, bathroom design, plumbing heritage, museum collections, ceramics, industrial archaeology and Stoke-on-Trent's Potteries heritage. Gladstone Pottery Museum, based in the historic pottery district of Longton, preserves bottle ovens, workshops and displays linked to the city's ceramic industry, making it a fitting location for an object that connects ceramic production with the history of domestic and public hygiene. The image can illustrate articles on spending a penny , public conveniences, 19th century urban reform, antique sanitary ware, porcelain toilets, historic bathroom fittings, design history and the humour as well as seriousness of lavatory culture. The close-up composition, visible maker's mark, museum context and unusual subject make it especially useful for heritage features, educational publishing, quirky travel articles, social history blogs and museum guide material.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHTGN - Portrait view of the historic bottle kilns at Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, a preserved Victorian pottery works in the heart of the Potteries. The photograph shows the distinctive cone-shaped brick bottle ovens rising above a cobbled yard, with warm red brick walls, green painted doors, wooden railings, chimney stacks, saggar containers and pottery yard details creating a strong sense of industrial heritage. The sky is dark and overcast, with dramatic cloud and subdued light giving the scene a moody atmosphere suited to heritage, tourism and history features. Gladstone Pottery Museum is housed in a former coal-fired pottery factory and is known for its surviving bottle ovens, which are among the most powerful visual symbols of Stoke-on-Trent's ceramics industry. The museum explains the skills and working conditions behind pottery production, including clay preparation, throwing, moulding, decorating, firing and the use of saggars to protect ware inside kilns. This image is highly relevant for editorial and commercial use on Stoke-on-Trent, Longton, Staffordshire tourism, ceramic manufacturing, industrial archaeology, Victorian factories, working museums, craft skills, heritage conservation, regeneration, local identity and the story of the Six Towns. Bottle kilns once dominated the skyline of North Staffordshire, but surviving examples are now important listed heritage structures. Gladstone is listed by Stoke museums at Uttoxeter Road, Longton, and specialist bottle oven records identify the site as having four updraught bottle ovens and a muffle kiln within the Longton Conservation Area. The vertical composition, strong architectural forms and textured brickwork make the image useful for travel guides, educational publishing, museum promotion, British industrial history, ceramics features, pottery design, kiln technology, craft tourism and stories about preserving the built legacy of the Staffordshire Potteries.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHR0H - Etruria Industrial Museum is the last steam-powered potters' mill in Britain. The mill is ˜in steam' several times a year when the 1903 boiler is fired and historic machinery can be seen working. Situated in a pleasant location at the junction of the Trent & Mersey, and Caldon Canals the museum is also a perfect stop-off for walkers, cyclists and boaters.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYAX4M - The George and Dragon is a public house in the village of Great Budworth, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
The inn has three bays and is in two storeys. It is built in brick with a roughcast rendering on the upper storey. The roofs are hipped and covered in clay tiles. The central bay consists of a two-storey porch which projects forwards. Its lower storey has an elliptical-headed doorway, and in the upper storey is a four-light mullioned window. Each lateral bay has a four-light mullioned window in the lower storey and a three-light mullioned window in the upper storey. A tall rubbed brick chimneystack rises from the left side of the roof. Diagonally from the right corner is the inn sign. The cut-out pictorial sign itself originated in Nuremberg while its ornate wrought iron bracket was made by the estate blacksmith. On each side of the porch is an oak post-and-rail fence inscribed with a number of sayings. Above the inner door is a stone containing a verse written by Egerton-Warburton. Internally, in the bar, is a stone inscribed in Latin and the date 1722
