Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8E1H4 - Editorial stock photograph showing an Asda supermarket No and Low Alcohol drinks range displayed beneath a large overhead aisle sign, with shelves stocked with alcohol-free and low-alcohol beers, ciders, wines, sparkling drinks, pre-mixed style cans and spirit alternatives. The image captures a recognisable UK retail scene, showing the expanding supermarket market for reduced alcohol products, sober curious lifestyles, mindful drinking, designated drivers, health-conscious shoppers and customers looking for alternatives to full-strength alcoholic drinks.
The display is useful for stories about changing British drinking habits, alcohol moderation, supermarket retail trends, public health, Dry January, low alcohol beer, alcohol-free gin style drinks, low and no wine, cider alternatives, adult soft drinks, pricing, promotions and the growing commercial value of no and low alcohol ranges. The visible shelf-edge prices, branded bottles, cans and wine-style packaging help show how these products are now merchandised as a mainstream category rather than a small niche. The overhead No and Low Alcohol sign gives the photograph strong editorial clarity, making the subject readable even at thumbnail size.
This image can support articles about alcohol duty, cost of living pressures, younger consumers drinking less, responsible drinking campaigns, supermarket category management, health policy, alcohol substitution, wellness retail, product innovation and the blurring of boundaries between alcohol aisles and adult non-alcoholic drinks. It also suits features on UK grocery chains, Asda store layouts, consumer choice, changing social habits and the wider cultural shift towards moderation. The bright supermarket lighting, metal shelving, price tickets and densely packed products create an authentic documentary view of everyday shopping, useful for newspapers, magazines, blogs, market research, retail reports and public health commentary

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6EE - The exterior of V&A Dundee, Scotland's national design museum, photographed on the edge of the River Tay at 1 Riverside Esplanade, Dundee DD1 4EZ. The image shows the museum's distinctive layered concrete form alongside riverside water, with a freestanding sign promoting the Garden Futures exhibition visible in the foreground.
Designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, the V&A Dundee building is inspired by Scotland's coastal cliffs and geology, its dramatic horizontal layers projecting out over the river as a symbolic link between land and water. Since opening, the museum has become the centrepiece of Dundee's ambitious waterfront regeneration, repositioning the former industrial port city as a hub for design, culture and innovation.
The Garden Futures exhibition explores the past, present and future of gardens in the context of climate change, sustainability, food production and social wellbeing. By addressing themes such as environmental resilience, biodiversity and the relationship between people and nature, the exhibition reflects the V&A's broader role in connecting design with global challenges.
The juxtaposition of the contemporary museum architecture, the historic River Tay and exhibition signage creates a layered visual narrative linking design, environment and urban renewal. Photographed in clear daylight under blue skies, the image highlights both the sculptural quality of the building and its prominent riverside setting.
The photograph offers strong editorial value for themes including modern architecture, museum exhibitions, climate and design discourse, Scottish cultural identity and waterfront regeneration, making it suitable for travel features, architectural publications, environmental commentary and educational use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EDKYT4 - A Dundee-themed Tennent's beer pump font is pictured on the bar at The Pillars in Crichton Street, Dundee, with a colourful illustrated design showing local landmarks and the city name wrapped around the tall illuminated tap. The image combines Scottish beer branding, pub interior detail, bar counter culture and local civic identity, making it useful for stories about Tennent's lager, Scottish pubs, Dundee nightlife, draught beer, pub design, branded fonts and the way national beer brands adapt their marketing to local places. The Pillars Bar and Salty Dog Lounge is listed by the Food Standards Agency at 9 Crichton Street, Dundee, DD1 3AP, and CAMRA describes The Pillars as dating back to 1864, believed to be the oldest pub in Dundee, with a loyal regular trade and a handpull for real ale. The image is commercially useful for coverage of Dundee hospitality, historic pubs, city-centre drinking, bar interiors, Scottish beer culture, cask ale, CAMRA pubs, local tourism, pub heritage and the survival of traditional bars in changing high streets. The nearby Schehallion Craft Lager pump, back bar bottles, fridges, warm lighting and polished brass handpulls add documentary value, showing a working pub environment rather than a staged product shot. The tall red Tennent's T-shaped font gives the scene strong visual impact and would suit features on beer marketing, lager sales, branded draught equipment, Scottish brewing, pub chains, independent pubs, local identity and the night-time economy. As a stock image, it records a small but distinctive piece of pub culture, where beer branding, local landmarks, regular customers, tourism and Dundee's long drinking history meet at the bar.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RH9DGM - The British tradition of eating fish battered and fried in oil was introduced to the country by Spanish and Portuguese Jewish immigrants, who spent time in the Netherlands before settling in the UK as early as the 16th century. They prepared fried fish in a manner similar to pescado frito, which is coated in flour then fried in oil. Fish fried for Shabbat for dinner on Friday evenings could be eaten cold the following afternoon for shalosh seudot, palatable this way as liquid vegetable oil was used rather than a hard fat, such as butter. Charles Dickens mentions fried fish warehouses in Oliver Twist (1838)
The modern fish-and-chip shop (chippy in modern British slang) originated in the United Kingdom, although outlets selling fried food occurred commonly throughout Europe. Early fish-and-chip shops had only very basic facilities. Usually these consisted principally of a large cauldron of cooking fat, heated by a coal fire. The fish-and-chip shop later evolved into a fairly standard format, with the food served, in paper wrappings, to queuing customers, over a counter in front of the fryers. As a boy, Alfred Hitchcock lived above a fish and chip shop in London, which was the family business. According to Professor John Walton, author of Fish and Chips and the British Working Class, the British government made safeguarding supplies of fish and chips during the First World War a priority: The cabinet knew it was vital to keep families on the home front in good heart, unlike the German regime that failed to keep its people well fed.
By 1910, there were over 25,000 fish and chip shops across the UK, a figure that grew to over 35,000 shops by the 1930s.Since then the trend has reversed, and in 2009 there were approximately 10,000 shops

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHBJYB - What is cask-conditioned beer?
For the first thirty years of CAMRA's story, most of the better flavoured beer in the UK were the type of real ale' that is served from a type of barrel called a cask. While stored in a pub's cellar, the beer inside these casks develops its character, or condition, for up to a week, thanks to the presence of live yeast in the beer. It is then served without the injection of carbon dioxide gas.
This additional maturation should add elegance to the beer's character, while the absence of gas injection makes its carbonation gentler.
Major efforts by CAMRA, including publicising the best outlets for such cask-conditioned beers and running hundreds of beer festivals each year that served them, promoted them ahead of the industrial brands that had come to dominate the UK beer trade in the late 20th century.
The term real ale became associated with beer served from a pub's cellar via tall, hand-pulled pumps mounted on the bar, with the make of beer named on a clip attached around the narrowest part of the handle. A few would be served directly from the cask, through a simple tap.
Like any artisan product, a cask-conditioned beer requires special handling and storage to be consumed at its best. The cellar temperature needs to be fairly consistent and neither too hot or too cold
the cask should lie undisturbed and its keeping time respected
and the pipes through which it flows to the bar must be kept thoroughly clean. A cask-conditioned beer served in a British pub remains an essential part of British culture

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HGC7XD - The equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow city centre is shown with the famous orange traffic cone balanced on the rider's head, a mischievous local tradition that has become one of the best-known visual symbols of the city. The bronze monument stands outside the Gallery of Modern Art, commonly known as GoMA, in Royal Exchange Square, close to Buchanan Street, George Square and the busy retail and cultural heart of Glasgow. The sculpture depicts Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, on horseback and was created by Italian-born sculptor Carlo Marochetti, with the statue erected in 1844. Although intended as a formal Victorian memorial connected with Wellington's military reputation and the end of the Napoleonic Wars, its modern fame is now inseparable from the traffic cone, widely seen as an expression of Glaswegian humour, irreverence and civic character. The image shows the contrast clearly: a grand equestrian monument, neoclassical columns, museum frontage and heritage architecture, undercut by an everyday road cone turned into unofficial public art. The scene is valuable for editorial use about Glasgow tourism, Scottish culture, urban identity, public sculpture, listed monuments, heritage conservation, city branding, street humour, visitor attractions and the way communities reinterpret formal civic monuments. The traffic cone tradition is often dated to at least the 1980s and has survived repeated removal, becoming a near-permanent and much-loved feature for residents, students, tourists and photographers. The picture also works for stories about public art, alternative heritage, local protest, playful vandalism, council debates about conservation costs, travel features on unusual British landmarks and wider discussion of how statues gain new meanings over time. The overcast light, blue sky breaks, red-windowed buildings and GoMA exhibition banner add a strong urban context, placing the quirky monument firmly in the everyday streetscape of c
