Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJ11Y2 - . Tennent's Super beer fridge advertisement in Sicily, Italy. Photographed on 21 April 2026. The tall branded refrigerator display features a bottle of Tennent's Super beneath the familiar red and black logo, promoting the strong lager within an Italian retail setting. Tennent's is strongly associated with Scotland, while Tennent's Super has long had a notable market presence in parts of continental Europe. In relation to independent brewery, historical context shows that public houses form a distinctive strand of British social past
Coaching routes, tied brewery estates, Victorian urban growth and twentieth-century leisure each shaped the location and appearance of pubs, many of which later became restaurants, shops, housing or community assets. For the story of souvenir, it is useful to note that everyday objects often become better historical evidence with age because packaging, typography, materials and branding evolution more rapidly than their basic function
Souvenirs, games and household items can therefore date consumer culture very precisely. As of 2026, the position for independent brewery is that in England eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief for the 2026/27 billing year, reflecting continuing concern about operating costs, closures and the role of hospitality in town-centre vitality. For present-day souvenir, 2026 is significant because sustainability and reuse also give older objects new relevance, encouraging repair, second-hand sales and appreciation of durable material culture. Additional natural-language search terms include licensed premises, alehouse, hostelry, bar trade, real ale, cask ale, beer culture, local pub, historic pub, nightlife, licensed trade, collectable, consumer object, vintage object, memorabilia, design history, retro, household object, and collecting. Additional subject vocabulary includes manufactured object, product history, social history, IMG_0179, and Tennents Super.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJ11XR - . Seme Dorato 5.1 Sicilian beer bottle outdoors in Sicily, Italy. Photographed on 20 April 2026. The green glass bottle is held at an angle against a sunlit natural background, with its colourful Birra Siciliana label clearly visible. The label emphasises Sicilian identity and presents the beer as a local or regional product for consumers and visitors. The historical setting for collectable is that material culture includes the ordinary products people bought, used, collected or displayed
Small manufactured objects can reveal national identity, advertising, technology and popular taste in ways that formal records do not. Seen through bar trade, the earlier context is that public houses form a distinctive strand of British social history
Coaching routes, tied brewery estates, Victorian urban growth and twentieth-century leisure each shaped the location and appearance of pubs, many of which later became restaurants, shops, housing or community assets. In the 2026 discussion of collectable, online resale, nostalgia and interest in vintage design have made many ordinary twentieth-century objects active collecting categories rather than disposable goods. The 2026 relevance of bar trade comes from the fact that pub survival remains a live issue as energy, staffing, taxation and changing drinking habits affect the licensed trade
Historic and contemporary pub images therefore have relevance to community assets, nightlife, independent brewing, high-street change and hospitality economics. Closely related image-search terms include souvenir, consumer object, vintage object, memorabilia, branding, design history, consumer culture, retro, household object, product history, licensed premises, alehouse, hostelry, real ale, cask ale, beer culture, local pub, and historic pub.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F12E9Y - Colourful Le Phare du Cap Bon harissa tin stands on a restaurant or cafe table, repurposed as a holder for folded white paper napkins. The cylindrical metal can has the brand's familiar yellow body, green upper band and red lettering, with Arabic and French text printed across the front. Its central illustration shows a white lighthouse rising from a blue coastal scene beneath a crescent moon, surrounded by red chillies and green leaves. The packaging identifies the product as harissa and carries the wording Le Phare du Cap Bon and Since 1946 .
Harissa is a hot red pepper paste strongly associated with Tunisian and wider North African cooking. Le Phare du Cap Bon is a well-known Tunisian commercial brand whose recipe combines red chilli peppers with garlic, coriander, caraway and salt. The paste is commonly used to season soups, stews, couscous, sauces, marinades and meat dishes, or diluted into broth. The green instruction panel visible near the rim explains serving and cooking uses in English, while the multilingual design reflects the product's export market.
The close-up composition emphasises the tin's typography, metal rim, vivid colours and decorative coastal branding. A patterned textile and seated diners appear softly at the edges of the frame, suggesting an informal North African or Mediterranean dining setting without identifying a specific venue. Reusing the empty food can as a napkin or utensil holder gives the image an everyday, sustainable and cultural dimension.
The photograph is suitable for editorial features about Tunisian cuisine, Maghreb food culture, chilli products, hot sauces, restaurant table details, imported groceries, traditional condiment packaging, recycling and creative reuse. The lighthouse image refers to Cap Bon, the peninsula in northeastern Tunisia after which the brand is named. The distinctive yellow tin is closely associated with mass-market Tunisian harissa and the country's culinary identity

Their breakwaters, piers, navigation lights and boarding areas reflect successive generations of investment as traditional fishing and coastal shipping have been joined by tourism, cruise traffic and lifeline ferry services. For the story of consumer culture, it is useful to note that food photographs are records of both taste and material culture
Ingredients, recipes, packaging and serving styles can date an era and show how regional traditions, convenience and international influences enter everyday diets. The historical setting for phenology is that fungi play a fundamental role in woodland ecosystems by decomposing organic matter and forming relationships with plant roots, although the visible fruiting body is only a small part of the organism. As of 2026, the position for port infrastructure is that ferry reliability, vessel replacement, accessibility and the resilience of island transport remain prominent issues in Scotland and other coastal regions
Port photographs therefore connect tourism and scenic travel with the.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NBWGEC - J. S. Fry & Sons, Ltd., better known as Fry's, was a British chocolate company owned by Joseph Storrs Fry and his family. Beginning in Bristol in the 18th century, the business went through several changes of name and ownership, becoming J. S. Fry & Sons in 1822. In 1847, Fry's produced the first solid chocolate bar. The company also created the first filled chocolate sweet, Cream Sticks, in 1853. Fry is most famous for Fry's Chocolate Cream, the first mass-produced chocolate bar, which was launched in 1866, and Fry's Turkish Delight, launched in 1914.
Fry, alongside Cadbury and Rowntree's, was one of the big three British confectionery manufacturers throughout much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and all three companies were founded by Quakers. The company became a division of Cadbury in the early twentieth century. The division's Somerdale Factory near Bristol was closed after the 2010 takeover of Cadbury's by Kraft Foods Inc

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. Its period value extends to store closures and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The location additionally provides evidence of commercial rents and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. A further contemporary connection is store closures and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets within the real-world context of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3JX34 - John Smith's Brewery in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, England, produces beers including John Smith's, the highest selling bitter in the United Kingdom since the mid-1990s.
The majority of John Smith's sales are of the nitrogenated Extra Smooth product, although a cask conditioned variant is available nationally. A stronger variant called Magnet is also available in the North East of England. John Smith's Cask and Magnet are produced under licence by Cameron's in Hartlepool.
John Smith acquired the Backhouse & Hartley brewery in 1852. Following a series of acquisitions in the post-World War II period, the company became one of the largest regional brewers in the country, operating over 1,800 licensed premises. The company was taken over by Courage in 1970 who extended distribution of the brewery's products into the South of England. Courage was acquired by Scottish & Newcastle in 1995, and the operations were purchased by Heineken in 2008.
John Smith's Extra Smooth and Original are produced at the Tadcaster brewery, as well as a range of Heineken products including Amstel and Kronenbourg 1664. With a 38 million litre capacity, the brewery is one of the largest in the country.
John Smith's became well known for a series of highly successful No Nonsense-themed television advertising campaigns, featuring the dour Yorkshireman character Arkwright during the 1970s and 1980s
The brewery brews 3.8 million hectolitres annually (1.3 million of which is John Smith's beer), and employed around 300 people in 2008. It has two keg lines, two bottle lines and one canning line.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3JX8C - John Smith's Brewery in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, England, produces beers including John Smith's, the highest selling bitter in the United Kingdom since the mid-1990s.
The majority of John Smith's sales are of the nitrogenated Extra Smooth product, although a cask conditioned variant is available nationally. A stronger variant called Magnet is also available in the North East of England. John Smith's Cask and Magnet are produced under licence by Cameron's in Hartlepool.
John Smith acquired the Backhouse & Hartley brewery in 1852. Following a series of acquisitions in the post-World War II period, the company became one of the largest regional brewers in the country, operating over 1,800 licensed premises. The company was taken over by Courage in 1970 who extended distribution of the brewery's products into the South of England. Courage was acquired by Scottish & Newcastle in 1995, and the operations were purchased by Heineken in 2008.
John Smith's Extra Smooth and Original are produced at the Tadcaster brewery, as well as a range of Heineken products including Amstel and Kronenbourg 1664. With a 38 million litre capacity, the brewery is one of the largest in the country.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD23P1 - This image shows a pavement A-board sign advertising Scoops dog ice cream from Marshfield Farm. The sign promotes ice cream specifically made for dogs, describing it as a frozen treat that gets tails wagging, and features playful illustrations and bold, hand-painted style lettering.
Dog ice cream products like this have become increasingly popular in the UK as part of the growth in pet-friendly cafés, tourist destinations, and retail businesses catering to dog owners. Such signage is commonly displayed outside cafés, ice cream parlours, and seaside or rural businesses where dogs are welcomed.
Marshfield Farm is a well-known UK ice cream producer, and its Scoops range reflects wider trends toward niche, novelty, and animal-friendly food products. The sign combines humour and clear messaging to attract attention from passing dog owners.
The photograph works well for editorial use illustrating pet culture, small business marketing, dog-friendly tourism, and everyday retail creativity in public spaces.

Today's relevance is strengthened by biodiversity, funding and the continuing question of the value of canals as both historic infrastructure and blue-green corridors. From a 2025-onward perspective, accessibility and bus funding are closely linked to this subject, alongside the challenge of maintaining reliable services outside dense urban centres.

Further associations within the scene are documentary photography, surface public transport, public-transport wayfinding, working waterway, local bus network, canal heritage, transport accessibility, and canal transport. Elements such as Turpentine, Linseed, and Bottles add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. A later view of National Waterways Museum, South Pier Road, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, England, UK, CH65 4FW may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity.

History
Joseph Holt, the son of a weaver, was born in 1813 in Unsworth, a textile village near Bury. He worked as a carter at Harrison's Strangeways Brewery. In 1849 he married Catherine Parry, who helped finance a small brewery behind a pub on Oak Street, Manchester.
In 1860, he purchased the brewery site on Empire Street, Cheetham. His reputation in Manchester endures
in 2007, readers of the Manchester Evening News voted him People's Champion in the Greatest ever Business Leaders awards. In 1882, by which time he had established a chain of 20 public houses, Joseph passed control of the brewery to his son Edward. Edward Holt was later knighted, served as Lord Mayor of Manchester from 1907 to 1909 and was made a baronet in 1916.

The setting also helps illustrate manufacturing automation and how bottling technology transformed large-scale drinks manufacturing within the specific setting of USA. The image also provides a reference for packaging and the relationship between orchard agriculture, regional identity and branded cider as part of the longer story of USA.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG421P - Hobbycraft is an arts and crafts superstore retail chain in the United Kingdom. It is currently owned by investment group Bridgepoint.
Hobbycraft in Tunbridge Wells, using the former logo
It was started by the Haskins Group, a nursery and garden supplier in the south of England, and was bought by investment group Bridgepoint in April 2010.
The stores have been blamed for putting independent craft suppliers out of business, and the amount of choice for specific hobbies has been said to be not as good as in specialised stores. Hobbycraft reported a 10% increase in sales in the beginning of 2010, and opened two new stores, with the chief executive saying arts and crafts are a low cost hobby and he believed they would do well despite difficulties in the economy
In September 2014, it was revealed that Hobbycraft's profits had halved, due to chains such as Aldi, Lidl, Poundland, and online retailers such as Amazon moving into the craft market. Hobbycraft's CEO Catriona Marshall said that the company's profits had been depressed by a £3m investment on a rented warehouse in Burton-upon-Trent, on which Hobbycraft took out a fifteen-year lease
In August 2020, Hobbycraft announced multi-channel growth plans after a complete financial year in which its online revenues increased by 19%. The company has seen e-commerce turbocharged this year “ recording a 200% rise in internet revenues as the 12-week shutdown of Covid-19 channelled much of its web revenue.
In May 2021, Hobbycraft was revealed as the Fourth Best Big Company to Work for in the UK and the third Best Retail Company to work for in the UK by the Best Companies Awards 2021

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG42KY - Carpetright Limited is one of the largest British retailers of floor coverings and beds. The company is owned by Meditor.
History
The company was established by Lord Harris of Peckham in 1988 when he opened its first shop in Canning Town. It was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in June 1993. In 1999, the company expanded through the acquisition of selected shops from Carpetland and Allied Carpets. It acquired its first operations in Continental Europe in 2002, and in 2005 acquired May's World of Carpets. In 2007, it added the Storey Carpets business, a firm based in Sunderland, which had 54 stores at the time.
Cascade Investment, LLC, the investment vehicle of Bill Gates, acquired a 3% in the company in May 2008. Carpetright expanded again with the purchase of Sleepright UK in 2008. However, in June 2011 it announced significant shop closure plans and that year posted its first loss since 1993.
It was reported on 21 March 2018 that Carpetright was struggling after issuing several profit warnings, and that it was looking at possible shop closures. On 12 April 2018, it was announced that Carpetright would close 92 stores, with a total loss of 300 jobs out of the total workforce of 2,700, as part of restructuring measures
In May 2018, Carpetright secured a £15 million loan to provide short-term working capital. In November 2019, Carpetright announced that its largest shareholder, Meditor, had agreed to purchase the company. A bid of £15.2 million was accepted by the company, amid fears it could not pay off its debt. Carpetright have estimated that the company would need around £80 million to get out of its debt problems. The company's gross debt was evaluated at £56 million
Carpetright announced the departure of chairman Bob Ivell in January 2020, as the store returned to private ownership after more than 26 years. Several non-executive directors stood down from the board because of the takeover

Mothercare's United Kingdom subsidiary had over 150 stores in 2017, but by 2019 the number had been reduced to 79. In November 2019, the subsidiary was placed into administration, which led to closure of all the stores. Mothercare-branded products continue to be sold by Boots and the parent company continues to supply franchisees in other countries.
The company was founded by Selim Zilkha and Sir James Goldsmith in 1961. It was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1972.
In 1982, the company merged with Habitat to form Habitat Mothercare plc. In 1986, Habitat Mothercare plc merged with British Home Stores, to form Storehouse plc. In January 1996, it bought Children's World from Boots, and rebranded these stores as Mothercare World. In May 2000, the Bhs stores were sold to Philip Green, and Storehouse reverted to the Mothercare brand
In June 2007, Mothercare bought Early Learning Centre (ELC) for £85 million. In October 2007, it launched Gurgle, a pregnancy and parenting social networking website. In November 2009, Mothercare acquired the 50% of Gurgle that it did not already own
In November 2019, the company put Mothercare UK (and Mothercare Business Services) into administration. This meant all the UK shops and the UK website closed soon after. Mothercare International still trades profitably.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XN9Y - How investors got burned by Chilango's burrito bonds
As investors in restaurant chain Chilango's burrito bonds face losing all their money
With average interest rates on savings accounts falling to under 1% for the first time, promises of 8% returns are bound to attract attention. But don't be fooled into placing your cash in high-risk mini-bonds. A mini-bond is a high-risk form of corporate debt.
This is something investors in restaurant group Chilango are just discovering. More than 1,000 people bought £5.8m of its mini-bonds. The investments were dubbed burrito bonds because if you invested more than £10,000 you could claim one free burrito a week. In November 2018 MoneyWeek warned readers to think long and hard before you sink your money into the burrito bond .
Now the vast majority of those bond holders stand to lose their money after Chilango announced it is entering administration. They will be reliant on returns from the sale of its assets, which the company warned last year could lead to them losing 99% of their investment , says Sarah Butler in The Guardian.
This is only the latest example of the significant risk mini-bonds present. In 2015 Secured Energy Bonds collapsed, losing investors more than £7m. In January 2019 London Capital & Finance (LCF) went bust, leaving 12,000 investors facing a £236m loss. Mini-bonds are examples of high-risk investment products that should come with a health warning, Myron Jobson, a personal finance campaigner at Interactive Investor, told The Times. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
Mini-bonds are an unregulated product
The problem with mini-bonds is that while the marketing is regulated, the product isn't. This means that, unlike cash savings, money invested in mini-bonds is not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which will compensate you with up to £85,000 if your bank or building society goes bust.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MXFF39 - Harris Tweed is a tweed cloth that is handwoven by islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, finished in the Outer Hebrides, and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides. This definition, quality standards and protection of the Harris Tweed name are enshrined in the Harris Tweed Act 1993. For centuries, the islanders of Lewis and Harris, the Uists, Benbecula and Barra have woven cloth by hand, calling it 'clò-mòr' in the original Gaelic or 'big cloth'.
Originally, this handmade fabric was woven by crofters for familial use, ideal for protection against the colder climate of the North of Scotland. Surplus cloth was often traded or used as barter, eventually becoming a form of currency amongst the islanders. For example, it was not unusual for rents to be paid in blankets or lengths of cloth. By the end of the 18th century, the spinning of wool yarn from local raw materials was a staple industry for crofters. Finished handmade cloth was exported to the Scottish mainland and traded along with other commodities produced by the Islanders, such as dry hides, goat and deer skins.
The original name of the cloth was tweel, Scots for twill, it being woven in a twilled rather than a plain pattern. A traditional story has the name coming about almost by chance. Around 1830, a London merchant received a letter from a Hawick firm about some tweels. The London merchant misinterpreted the handwriting, understanding it to be a trade-name taken from the river Tweed that flows through the Scottish Borders. Subsequently, the goods were advertised as Tweed, and the name has remained ever since

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0N9K - . Products of Scotland, highland spring water, walkers shortbread in blue, the colour of the St Andrews cross flag. Photographed on 31 July 2009. The recorded location is Royal Mile, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. Historically, everyday food and drink sit within wider histories of farming, manufacturing, retail and hospitality
Ingredients and brands that appear ordinary at one moment can later become useful markers of evolving diets, packaging, provenance and food fashion. The wider historical story is that everyday walking scenes document how people actually move through towns: on foot, with children, pets or shopping, using routes that may be altered or removed during redevelopment
Such photographs can become useful evidence of public access and local geography. The wider historical story is that landscape photographs record more than scenery: buildings, vegetation, weather, transport and land use combine to show how a place appeared at a particular moment
Repeated views can later become valuable evidence of development, environmental change and shifting patterns of use. In 2026, food affordability, provenance, packaging waste and the environmental impact of supply chains remain prominent themes
Images of local produce, imported goods, home cooking and food retail can connect everyday consumption with those broader economic and sustainability debates. In the present 2026 context, walking and active travel are prominent in transport and public-health policy, with continuing attention to safe pedestrian routes, accessibility and connections between neighbourhoods
Older paths and tunnels can illustrate both useful permeability and the design problems associated with underpasses. For the 2026 context, landscape imagery is increasingly used alongside discussion of climate, resilience, tourism and development
Older panoramas can show how skylines, waterfronts and vegetation have changed over a comparatively short period.

The recorded location is Bull Ring Market, Birmingham, England, UK B5 5BB. City Centre. Looking at the subject's development, food images can document changing tastes, brands and methods of preparation as effectively as they illustrate a meal
Regional products, traditional recipes, independent food businesses and packaging all carry information about consumer culture and local identity. As background, retail premises reveal the evolution of high streets and town centres: independent shops, markets, bakeries, butchers and larger chains respond continually to changing tastes, rents, competition and shopping habits
Photographs can preserve businesses and shopfronts that later disappear. For the 2026 context, current food coverage frequently combines lifestyle with questions of price, health, sourcing and environmental impact
Older packaging and products also provide useful evidence of how branding, portioning and consumer expectations have changed. Against the 2026 backdrop, town-centre resilience remains a major policy issue in England, with government programmes aimed at high streets and community ownership of valued local assets
Changing retail patterns, vacancies and the growth of food-led destinations make older shop and market photographs useful for comparison. The wider historical story is that everyday food and drink sit within wider histories of farming, manufacturing, retail and hospitality
Ingredients and brands that appear ordinary at one moment can later become useful markers of changing diets, packaging, provenance and food fashion. In the present 2026 context, food affordability, provenance, packaging waste and the environmental impact of supply chains continue to be prominent themes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGMNR5 - A nostalgic collection of British chocolate bars and confectionery from the 1970s, displayed together to illustrate changing consumer tastes, packaging design and branding over the decades. The selection includes well-known favourites such as Bounty, Cadbury Whole Nut and Nestlé Milkybar, which remain familiar to shoppers today, alongside discontinued products including Golden Cup, Bar Six and Double Agents. Also featured are promotional and character-themed confectionery such as Doctor Who and Pink Panther chocolate, reflecting the growing influence of television, comics and popular culture on food marketing during the decade. The brightly coloured wrappers and distinctive typography capture the visual style of 1970s British retailing, when many chocolate bars cost only a few pence and were commonly sold through newsagents, supermarkets and school tuck shops. Images such as this are valuable for illustrating consumer history, branding evolution, food packaging, advertising, nostalgia, collecting, social history and the changing landscape of the UK confectionery industry. Some of the featured products have disappeared completely, while others continue to be produced in updated packaging, making the collection an interesting comparison between past and present British chocolate brands. The image is suitable for editorial use covering food history, retail heritage, vintage consumer products, childhood memories and the enduring popularity of classic confectionery.

Visible products include Lucky Saint alcohol-free beer, Infinite Session, no and low beer multipacks, canned drinks, wine-style alternatives and spirit-style bottles, with price labels and Clubcard shelf edge promotions below. The image is useful for editorial themes around changing drinking habits, healthier lifestyles, Dry January, Sober October, mindful drinking, alcohol moderation, supermarket retail and the growing market for low and no alcohol drinks.
The sign above the shelving clearly reads No & Low Alcohol , making the photograph relevant for searches about alcohol-free drinks ranges, no alcohol beer, non-alcoholic wine, low alcohol cider, alcohol-free spirits and supermarket merchandising. It also works for stories about the cost of healthier choices, as several shelf prices are visible and many premium low and no alcohol products can appear expensive compared with standard soft drinks or mainstream beers. The image can illustrate pricing, health, wellbeing, alcohol harm reduction, public health messaging and how retailers are normalising alternatives for customers who want to cut down without avoiding social drinking rituals.
The UK NHS advises adults who drink alcohol not to regularly exceed 14 units a week and to spread drinking over three or more days, while Tesco advertises a dedicated range of low and no alcohol beer, wine, spirits, mixers and other drinks. This aisle display therefore has strong editorial value for features on retail trends, alcohol guidance, moderation, consumer behaviour, supermarket strategy, product innovation, health-conscious shopping, alcohol-free lager, zero alcohol beer, lower calorie lifestyles and the cultural shift towards more choice for drivers, pregnant customers, younger adults and anyone reducing alcohol intake.

Kalles Kaviar is based on a recipe that is several hundred years old that originates from the Swedish west coast, and in particular from Lysekil. The product is mainly made of salted cod roe (gadus morhua), sugar, canola oil and spices. In French, this type of caviar is sometimes referred to as caviar de Lysekil. Other manufacturers of similar caviar are Öhnbergs Kaviar (often regarded as the connoisseur's alternative, and currently also owned by Abba Seafood) and Boviks kaviar.
Kalles Kaviar has been a commercial success in Sweden ever since its market launch there in 1954. It is internationally recognized as a Swedish product, since many IKEA furniture stores worldwide feature this product in their food markets.
The tube label has maintained the same design from the beginning, and depicts the son of then-CEO of the manufacturing company, Carl Ameln. The tube design is well-recognized in Sweden and in Finland.
The product is also featured prominently in one of Ylvis's musical numbers from their Stories In Norway series on NorgeTV.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T0WE16 - Taken on 28 Jan 2023, this photograph shows Made in Sheffield, red neon sign, Kelam Island, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK, S3 8RD. The location is Kelam Island, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK, S3 8RD. The picture is not just a record shot: it contains readable commercial or civic signage, colour, typography and street context. Sheffield's name is internationally linked with steel, cutlery, engineering and industrial skill, so the neon wording works as a shorthand for civic identity, manufacturing heritage and northern regeneration. It can be used in editorial features, business reports, local-history writing, travel guides, public-policy explainers, educational material and SEO-led stock-photo searches needing a specific real-world image. For image buyers, the value is in the combination of recognisable subject, readable wording, location evidence and a plain documentary style that can be dropped into news, magazine, web, council, housing, transport, heritage or commercial commentary without looking over-produced. Searchable related phrases include South Yorkshire, Sheffield, Made in Sheffield, red, neon, sign, made, making, manufacturing, industry, Kelham Island, Kellham Island, plus wider ideas such as local identity, public realm, urban detail, social history, commercial change, everyday Britain, documentary photography and place-based storytelling. The composition gives designers scope for captions, page furniture, social media crops, report covers and article thumbnails, while the detailed captioning makes it more discoverable for searches using both specific place names and broader themes. This makes the image useful for comparison pieces, then-and-now features, local news, regeneration stories and plain-English explainers aimed at a general audience.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG4657 - B&Q (short for Block & Quayle after the company's two founders) is a British multinational DIY and home improvement retailing company, headquartered in Eastleigh, England. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kingfisher plc. It was founded in March, 1969 by Richard Block and David Quayle.
History
1969 to 1979: Early growth
B&Q was founded in March 1969 in Southampton, England, by Richard Block and David Quayle, following the purchase and fitting out of a former furniture warehouse in the Southampton suburb of Portswood. Originally called Block & Quayle, the duo soon shortened the brand to B&Q as stock delivery notes and invoices were already unofficially abbreviating the name.
B&Q were reported to have a customer base of seven million in July 2016, of which it was estimated 75% use the retailer's website to research their desired products, prior to purchasing in shop. B&Q have customer loyalty schemes, such as the Diamond Club scheme which entitles members over the age of 60 to a 10% discount on Wednesdays on many garden products. However, no new customers are able to join the scheme, after changes were announced on 2 August 2018
The retail chain offers over 40,000 products across their three hundred shops and through their online presence. Reports in May 2007 suggested it was the second largest in Europe, and the fourth largest in the world (behind the Home Depot, Lowe's and OBI)

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RK9X6P - The Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is a full-sized luxury car produced by British automaker Rolls-Royce in various forms from 1965 to 1980. It was the first of the marque to use unitary body and chassis construction.
The Silver Shadow was produced from 1965 to 1976, and the Silver Shadow II from 1977 to 1980. To date, the combined model run of 30,057 units manufactured is the largest production volume of any Rolls-Royce model
A Bentley-badged version, the T-series, was produced from 1965 through 1980 in 2,336 examples.
The Silver Shadow was originally intended to be called Rolls-Royce Silver Mist, but was replaced with Silver Shadow at the last minute due to Mist meaning manure or crap in German. It was designed with several modernisations in response to concerns that the company was falling behind in automotive innovation, most notably in its unitary construction.
Other new features included disc brakes replacing drums, and independent rear suspension instead of the outdated live rear axle design of previous Rolls-Royce models.
The standard wheelbase Silver Shadow measured 203.5 inches (5,170 mm), 4,700 lb (2,100 kg) and had a book price of £6,557 in the first year of production.
The Shadow featured a 172 hp (128 kW) 6.2 L V8 from 1965 to 1969, and a 189 hp (141 kW) 6.75 L V8 from 1970 to 1980. Left-hand-drive models were coupled to the recently introduced Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic gearbox sourced from General Motors (GM). Pre-1970, right-hand-drive (RHD) models used a highly modified, aluminum-cased version of the original cast-iron 4-speed Hydra-Matic gearbox that had been built in Crewe under license from GM since 1953. From 1968, export RHD cars gained the Turbo-Hydramatic 400, and by 1970, the 4-speed unit had been completely phased out even in the home market

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MM9A24 - Photo shows Pigs In Blankets, sausages in Bacon, Pork food product, Pub snack. The image is useful for illustrating British and Irish pub culture, real ale, traditional bars, hospitality, visitor economy stories and the continued importance of pubs as social places. Where a named pub, brewery, beer pump, pint glass or drinking street is visible, it can support articles on licensed premises, cask ale, CAMRA interest, tourism, nightlife, local character and changing high streets. The supplied workbook does not give a precise location, so the image should be treated as a concept or documentary subject unless the location can be verified separately. Weather and season may be visible outside or through the setting
the subject has clear hospitality and leisure value. It should work for editorial buyers needing authentic, non-staged British or travel imagery for news, magazine, blog, local government, heritage, housing, transport, tourism, retail, public policy or social commentary use. The caption should be checked against the visible photograph before upload so that any readable signs, weather, time of day and people context are accurately reflected without overstating facts not shown in the image. The strongest sales value is the combination of named subject, real location and everyday documentary style, giving picture editors a flexible image that can sit alongside features, opinion pieces, explainers, historical retrospectives and local news. Search relevance is helped by including concise place names, visible brand or wording, functional subject terms, and wider editorial concepts such as public realm, consumer behaviour, heritage, travel, leisure and community life where they genuinely match the picture.
