Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E93490 - A brightly coloured Soul Man ice stock-photo/gotonysmith-Cream.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>cream van is parked at Crosby Beach, north of Liverpool, bringing music, seaside treats and mobile refreshments to the Merseyside coast. The pink, blue and white van advertises freshly made ice cream, lollies, cones and Flannels, with visible social media icons and playful beachside branding. The sandy beach, sea wall, open water and pale coastal light place the scene firmly on Crosby seafront, a popular day-trip destination in the borough of Sefton. Crosby Beach is best known internationally for Antony Gormley's Another Place, the installation of 100 cast-iron figures spread along three kilometres of foreshore, but the everyday visitor experience also includes walking, photography, families, dog walkers, cyclists, promenade users and seasonal food traders. This image is useful for editorial coverage of British seaside culture, ice cream vans, mobile catering, small independent businesses, coastal tourism, family days out, Liverpool day trips, beach refreshments and the continuing appeal of simple seaside treats. The Soul Ice Cream Van has a local social media presence connected with Crosby Beach, while Liverpool visitor coverage describes it as a well-known beach ice cream van associated with classic 99s and lollies. The photograph also works for stories about the economics of seasonal trading, outdoor leisure, post-industrial coastlines, Merseyside tourism, independent food vendors and the way colourful vans become part of the character of a promenade. The dramatic sky, pale sand and parked van create a slightly nostalgic British coastal mood, with the vehicle's modern social media signs contrasting with the old-fashioned pleasure of buying ice cream by the sea. It is a strong documentary stock image for travel guides, local news, lifestyle features, food retail, tourism marketing, family holiday articles, small business profiles and coverage of Crosby Beach as both an art destination and an ordinary working seaside space.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E93491 - Blue King Charles III stock-photo/gotonysmith-England.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>England Coast Path directional signs for walkers and cyclists at Mariners Road, Crosby, Merseyside, close to Crosby Beach and the Liverpool coastline. The photograph shows paired blue coastal path waymarkers against a pale blue sky, with pedestrian, shell and cycle symbols indicating a shared coastal route for walking, cycling, leisure and access to the seafront. The sign sits near Crosby Leisure Centre, where Sefton Council lists Mariners Road L23 6SX as one of the visitor access points for Crosby Beach and Antony Gormley's Another Place. The image is useful for editorial coverage of the King Charles III England Coast Path, public access to the coast, National Trails, active travel, outdoor recreation, walking tourism, cycling infrastructure, wayfinding signage, public rights of way and sustainable seaside tourism. Government information published in March 2026 said around 2,100 miles of the path were then open with full access rights in place, while National Trails describes the completed route as around 2,700 miles long around the coast of England. Crosby is a strong location for this subject because its seafront links everyday local walking, beach visits, public transport, family recreation, dog walking, cycling and tourism connected with the Iron Men sculptures of Another Place. The sign's simple graphic design, blue colour and clear symbols make it suitable for articles about coastal access policy, route infrastructure, health and wellbeing, car-free days out, seaside public realm and the growing expectation that beaches and waterfronts should be easy to reach and navigate. The photograph also has value for wider debates about access to nature, right-to-roam reform, government investment in trails and how local coastal paths connect into national walking networks. It is a clean,uncluttered stock image for guidebooks, outdoor magazines, council publications, transport features, walking route explainers and news about the continuing rollout

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RHP1FC - Taken on 23 Jul 2023, this photograph shows Fishing boats WK3 Kayleigh Ann LH29 Carrie B, and vessels in sunny Newhaven harbour at high tide, Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, EH6 4LP. The location is Pier Place, Newhaven, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, EH6 4LP. The picture is not just a record shot: it contains boats, landing stages, harbour walls, high tide water and the Firth of Forth coastal setting. Newhaven began as a fishing village by the Firth of Forth and remains visually tied to boats, harbour work, seafood, Leith, Edinburgh's waterfront and changing coastal regeneration. The scene can be used for coastal heritage, fishing industry, working harbours, tourism, Scottish waterfront regeneration, maritime identity and the relationship between old ports and modern leisure. 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 Pier Place, Newhaven, harbour, Edinburgh, WK3 Kayleigh Ann, LH29, lighthouse, vessels, fishermen, history, Leith, sea, 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. Because the subject is clearly labelled or visually distinctive, it can also work well in search-led usage where the buyer needs immediate recognition at small web-preview size.

It has value for both local and national stories, especially where writers need to connect a named place or object with wider economic, social, environmental or cultural change.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R15NFM - Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by British artist Antony Gormley located at Crosby Beach in Merseyside, England. It consists of 100 cast iron figures facing towards the sea. The figures are modelled on the artist's own naked body.[1] The work proved controversial due to the naked statues but has increased tourism to the beach. After being exhibited at two other locations it was put on display at Crosby on 1 July 2005. After some controversy Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council decided on 7 March 2007 that the sculptures should be permanently installed at the beach
The work consists of cast iron figures which face out to sea, spread over a 2-mile (3.2 km) stretch of beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands. Each figure is 189 centimetres (6 ft 2 in) tall and weighs around 650 kilograms (1,430 lb). The figures are cast replicas of Gormley's own body. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are revealed and submerged by the sea, and are subject to corrosion by seawater and colonisation by marine animals. The figures were cast at Hargreaves Foundry in Halifax, West Yorkshire and the Joseph and Jesse Siddons Foundry in West Bromwich by foundryman Derek Alexander

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PH9MCD - A SINISTER monk who predicts death and misfortune is just one of the ghosts reported to haunt the Liverpool Arms pub in Conwy.
Legend has it that sightings of the sinister monk are said to warn of a death or some form of bad luck, and a strong smell of vanilla, one of the medieval cargoes carried by ships, has coincided with appearances.
The ghost of the cook is accompanied by an unexplained smell of roast beef that has lingered in the pub, whilst the ghost of a landlord is said to be that of a man who drowned in the estuary.
Looking back in the Weekly News archives, speaking in June 1980, former landlord Jacqui Plumb said she had often had objects mysteriously disappear in the pub and reported a terrified visitor claiming the bed in the pub's attic shaking violently.
But Jacqui herself saw the spectre of the monk right after a member of her family was involved in a serious accident.
I went into the spare bedroom. This is the tower room and it was about 4pm. When I opened the door I saw him just across the room, a monk with his hands together kneeling and praying, she said.
I was so amazed that I closed my eyes and shook my head to make sure I was actually seeing something. I opened my eyes and he was still there.
Later in the April of 1991, barman Andrew Young, 20, was working in the pub when he claimed he encountered a ghostly apparition at the back of the pub.
Andrew, of the Castle View Estate, claimed a ghost standing at around six and a half feet in height made a lunge for him, causing him to drop a crate of beer and rip his shirt. He claimed the ghost was accompanied by a small boy.
He kept beckoning me over and over again but every time he came forward I moved back, he said.
Then he came at me with a look of pure evil and I just panicked. I have never been so scared in my life.
The landlord at the time, Trevor Gresty, even reported the incident to the Bass Brewery.

Metal detectors are also used to search for discarded or lost,[31] valuable man-made objects such as jewelry, mobile phones, cameras and other devices. Some metal detectors are waterproof, to allow the user to search for submerged objects in areas of shallow water.
General metal detecting is very similar to coin shooting except the user is after any type of historical artifact. Detectorists may be dedicated to preserving historical artifacts, and often have considerable expertise. Coins, bullets, buttons, axe heads, and buckles are just a few of the items that are commonly found by relic hunters
in general the potential is far greater in Europe and Asia than in many other parts of the world. More valuable finds in Britain alone include the Staffordshire Hoard of Anglo-Saxon gold, sold for £3,285,000, the gold Celtic Newark Torc, the Ringlemere Cup, West Bagborough Hoard, Milton Keynes Hoard, Roman Crosby Garrett Helmet, Stirling Hoard, Collette Hoard and thousands of smaller finds.
Beach combing is hunting for lost coins or jewelry on a beach. Beach hunting can be as simple or as complicated as one wishes to make it. Many dedicated beach hunters also familiarize themselves with tide movements and beach erosion.
Metal detecting clubs exist for hobbyists to learn from others, show off finds from their hunts and to learn more about the hobby.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD23RR - Filey is a seaside town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is located between Scarborough and Bridlington on Filey Bay. Although it was a fishing village, it has a large beach and became a popular tourist resort. According to the 2011 UK census, Filey parish had a population of 6,981, in comparison to the 2001 UK census population figure of 6,819, and a population of 6,870 in 1991.
Filey was historically mainly within the East Riding of Yorkshire, although until 1888 a small part of the town, including its parish church, was in the North Riding of Yorkshire. In 1974 the town was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire.
Filey is at the eastern end of the Cleveland Way, a long-distance footpath
it starts at Helmsley and skirts the North York Moors. It was the second National Trail to be opened (1969). The town is at the northern end of the Yorkshire Wolds Way National Trail which starts at Hessle and crosses the Yorkshire Wolds. Filey is the finishing point for Great Yorkshire Bike Ride. The 70-mile (110 km) ride begins at Wetherby Racecourse.
Filey has a railway station on the Yorkshire Coast Line. A second station at Filey Holiday Camp railway station to the south of the town served the former Butlins holiday camp. The camp has since been re-developed into a 600-home holiday housing development, The Bay Filey. It is one of the largest coastal developments of this kind in the UK and the first homes were completed in 2007.
In July 2007 Filey was hit by flash floods which caused major problems

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD23TW - This image shows a coastal safety notice at Filey seafront warning visitors about the dangers of rising tides when accessing Filey Brigg, a narrow rocky headland extending into the North Sea. The sign advises walkers to check the tide table before entering the Brigg and to leave the area at least two hours before high tide to avoid becoming cut off.
Filey Brigg is a popular destination for walkers, anglers, fossil hunters, and tourists, but its natural geography means that access is limited during certain tidal conditions. The warning highlights the risk of people becoming trapped by incoming tides, a recurring hazard on parts of the Yorkshire coast.
The sign includes lifeboat and HM Coastguard contact information, reinforcing the role of emergency services in coastal safety and rescue operations. In the background, the wide sandy beach and calm sea conditions contrast with the potential danger posed by changing tides.
The photograph documents the importance of clear public safety messaging in coastal tourist areas, illustrating how signage plays a key role in protecting visitors, bathers, and walkers unfamiliar with local tidal patterns.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD23X4 - This panoramic image shows the beach and seafront at Filey on the North Yorkshire coast. The wide sandy shoreline curves gently away from the promenade, emphasising the scale and openness of Filey Bay. In the foreground and lower right of the image, a solitary man stands alone on the sand, providing a strong sense of scale against the expansive coastal landscape.
Above the beach, people gather along the stone promenade and near the seafront buildings, creating a contrast between social activity and solitude. The lone figure on the beach appears detached from the busier promenade above, introducing a quiet, reflective mood to the scene without overt action.
The photograph was taken in daylight under calm conditions, likely outside peak summer season, when Filey's beach often feels spacious and uncrowded. The combination of wide sand, gentle sea, and restrained human presence reflects the character of Filey as a traditional British seaside resort with a slower pace than larger coastal towns.
The image works well for editorial use illustrating British coastal life, seaside tourism, solitude, contemplation, and the relationship between people and open coastal environments.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD23XA - This image shows a crazy golf course on Filey seafront, set alongside the promenade with the wide sandy beach and the North Sea stretching into the distance. The colourful mini golf obstacles sit on the paved promenade area, contrasting with the natural tones of the beach and sea beyond.
People walk along the seafront and pause to look out across Filey Bay, reflecting the area's role as a traditional British seaside resort offering simple outdoor leisure activities. The beach appears at low tide, revealing a broad expanse of sand typical of this stretch of the North Yorkshire coast.
The photograph was taken in daylight under lightly overcast conditions, giving soft, even light across the scene. Crazy golf courses like this are a familiar feature of UK seaside towns, appealing to families and visitors seeking relaxed, nostalgic entertainment close to the beach.
The image captures the blend of leisure, tourism, and open coastal landscape that defines Filey's seafront, illustrating the enduring appeal of traditional seaside attractions alongside the dramatic scale of the North Sea coastline.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD23Y1 - This image shows a decorative stained glass panel set into a residential front door in Filey, a seaside town on the North Yorkshire coast. The artwork depicts a small fishing boat carrying a lone fisherman on stylised blue waves, with dramatic skies rendered in muted purples and greys, evoking the changing conditions of the North Sea.
The stained glass uses coloured and textured panes joined with lead cames, a technique commonly found in late Victorian and Edwardian domestic architecture in British coastal towns. Maritime scenes such as this reflect the historical importance of fishing to communities like Filey, where small boats and inshore fishing once formed a central part of everyday life.
The panel is framed within a shallow arched surround, suggesting it forms part of a traditional front door design rather than a public building. Such decorative glass features were often used to personalise homes while celebrating local identity and coastal heritage.
The image captures a quiet architectural detail that connects domestic life with Filey's maritime past, illustrating how seaside culture and fishing traditions have been embedded into everyday design in historic coastal settlements.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD243W - This image shows Wesley Hall, a red-brick Victorian building constructed in 1901, located on Church Street in the historic seaside town of Whitby, North Yorkshire. Originally built as a Wesleyan Methodist hall, the building has since been repurposed and now houses the Museum of Whitby Jet.
The facade features decorative brickwork, stone detailing around arched windows, and a central arched entrance, typical of late-Victorian civic and religious architecture. Display boards on either side of the entrance advertise exhibitions and provide information for visitors, clearly identifying the building's current role as a museum and cultural venue.
The Museum of Whitby Jet focuses on the history and craftsmanship of Whitby Jet, a fossilised gemstone formed from ancient wood and famously used in mourning jewellery during the Victorian period. Jet mining and carving were once major local industries and remain closely associated with Whitby's identity.
The photograph was taken in daylight under partly cloudy skies, with a passer-by visible outside the entrance, providing scale and a sense of everyday activity. The image documents the adaptive reuse of a historic religious building as a museum, reflecting Whitby's strong emphasis on heritage tourism, local craft history, and architectural preservation.

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.

The original M&LR single-storey offices facing Hunt's Bank Approach were built in the Italianate style in sandstone ashlar with slate roofs in 1844. They were later enlarged and given a second storey. William Dawes built the station's larger extension for the L&YR in 1909. It is at right-angles to the north end of the old station giving the enlarged station an L-shaped plan. Facing Victoria Station Approach, its façade is in the Edwardian neo-Baroque style, four storeys high and 31 bays to the rounded corner at the south-east end. The ground floor windows have rounded heads and those on the floors above are square. The ornate glass and iron canopy along the façade displays the names of destinations that the station served in Art Nouveau lettering. The canopy was damaged by the Provisional IRA's 1996 bomb placed in a street adjacent to the Arndale Centre and was restored four years later.
Heritage features in the concourse were restored during the 2013-15 renovation, they include the café with its glass dome and mosaic lettering which was originally the first-class dining room, the adjacent bookstall, and the original 1909 wood-panelled booking hall. In the entrance is a large, white glazed tiled map showing the former network of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
Underneath the map is a bronze World War I war memorial with effigies of Saint George and Saint Michael at each end which was installed in 1923. At the south end of the concourse is the 'soldier's gate' which opened to the former fish docks from where thousands of soldiers departed for World War I and where a bronze plaque was erected to commemorate them. The gateway was restored in 2015 and a steel screen inserted featuring a map of World War I Commonwealth grave cemeteries in Northern France and Belgium.
The station received Grade II listed building status in 1988

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JR3MPR - Blackpool Tramway runs from Blackpool to Fleetwood on the Fylde Coast in Lancashire, England. The line dates back to 1885 and is one of the oldest electric tramways in the world. It is operated by Blackpool Transport (BT) and runs for 18 km (11 miles). It carried 4.8 million passengers in 2019/20.
It is the second-oldest electric tramway in the United Kingdom, the first being Volk's Electric Railway in Brighton, which opened two years earlier and similarly runs on a reserved track along the seafront. These are also the two surviving first-generation town tramways in the UK, though the majority of services on the line have since 2012 been operated by a fleet of modern Bombardier Flexity 2 trams. A 'heritage service' using the traditional trams operates year-round on weekends, certain weekdays and bank holidays, as well as during the Blackpool Illuminations. Excluding museums, it is one of only a few tramways in the world to still use double-deck trams,
The first part opened on 29 September 1885, a conduit line from Cocker Street to Dean Street on Blackpool Promenade. It was one of the first practical electric tramways in the world, just six years after Werner von Siemens first demonstrated electric traction. The inauguration was presided over by Holroyd Smith, the inventor of the system and Alderman Harwood, the Mayor of Manchester.
It was operated by the Blackpool Electric Tramway Company until 1892, when its lease expired and Blackpool Corporation took over. A line was added in 1895 from Manchester Square along Lytham Road to South Shore, extended to South Pier with a line on Station Road connecting Lytham Road to the promenade in 1897

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRM3XW - Rock (often known by its place of origin, for instance Blackpool rock or Brighton rock) is a type of hard stick-shaped boiled sugar confectionery most usually flavoured with peppermint or spearmint. It is commonly sold at tourist (usually seaside) resorts in the United Kingdom (such as Brighton, Southend-on-Sea, Scarborough, Llandudno or Blackpool) and Ireland (e.g. Bray and Strandhill)
in Gibraltar
in Denmark in towns such as Løkken and Ebeltoft
and in Sydney and Tasmania, Australia.
It usually takes the form of a cylindrical stick (a stick of rock), normally 1“2.5 cm (0.39“0.98 in) in diameter and 20“25 cm (7.9“9.8 in) long. Blackpool rock is usually at least 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in diameter, and can be as thick as 17 cm (6.7 in) across and up to 2 m (6.6 ft) long when made for special retail displays. These cylinders usually have a pattern embedded throughout the length, which is often the name of the resort where the rock is sold, so that the name can be read on both ends of the stick (reversed at one end) and remains legible even after pieces are bitten off. Rock is also manufactured as a promotional item, for example with a company name running through it.
It is sometimes found in the form of individual sweets, with writing or a pattern in the centre
these are, in effect, slices of rock.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHW8B8 - Southport's War Memorial is located in the London Square Memorial Garden, on Lord Street. Listed upon the memorial are the names of 1247 Service men and three women, who gave their lives in the Great War.
The Memorial
Southport's War Memorial in London Square is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
The material used for construction was Portland stone, and the structure consists of two colonnades and a central obelisk. Each colonnade has one small chapel at each end, and memorial gardens surround the colonnades, which contain Remembrance fountains and pools. Names of the fallen appear for World War One on the chapel walls, and panels have been added to the inside of the colonnades for World War Two and subsequent conflicts.
Public subscription for the Southport war memorial, to extend the hospital, and to provide grants for bereaved children was established after a meeting on 14th February 1919. A War Memorial Committee was formed to raise the money. A total of £31,854 was raised, and a competition was launched for the memorial's design. Sir Reginald Blomfield R.A. was appointed as adviser and assessor for the competition and the design entries were exhibited at Southport Art Gallery. Sir Reginald announced the first prize to Messrs Grayson and Barnish, based at the Royal Liver Building, Liverpool. After a second set of tenders Messrs W. Moss and Sons of Loughborough, Liverpool and London were commissioned as main contractors. Mr Herbert Tyson Smith, a sculptor from Liverpool was commissioned for the carving of inscriptions and 1133 names on the Roll of Honour.
Unveiling Ceremony
On November 18th 1923, an official procession began at the Town Hall, passed the Art Gallery and went via Eastbank Street, Chapel Street and London Street, arriving at London Square. The National Anthem was followed by the Mayor's speech (Mr. Alderman Aveling J.P) before the General Salute was sounded.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JHW8BC - The Atkinson is a building on the east side of Lord Street extending round the corner into Eastbank Street, Southport, Sefton, Merseyside, England. The building is a combination of two former buildings, the original Atkinson Art Gallery and Library that opened in 1878, and the adjacent Manchester and Liverpool District Bank that was built in 1879. These were combined in 1923“24 and the interiors have been integrated. The original building is in Neoclassical style, and the former bank is in Renaissance style.
The art gallery and library has been integrated with the Southport Arts Centre and is now known as The Atkinson.
The two former buildings are each recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated Grade II listed buildings.
History
The Atkinson was built following a donation of £6,000 in 1875 by William Atkinson, a cotton manufacturer from Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, and a frequent visitor to Southport. The building was designed by Waddington and Son of Burnley, Lancashire and opened in 1878. The total cost, donated by Atkinson, was £15,000. In 1923“24 the building was extended by incorporating an adjacent bank on the corner of Eastbank Street, that had been built for the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank in 1879. The interior of the combined building was remodeled in the late 20th century, and the interiors were internally integrated. As of 2014 the organisation of the library and art gallery is integrated with the Southport Arts Centre and it is known as The Atkinson.
Original building
The original building is constructed in sandstone with a slate roof in Neoclassical style. It is in three storeys and has a symmetrical three-bay front. The central bay projects forward and contains a square-headed doorway above which is a roundel and a band of three panels. It is flanked by pairs of engaged Corinthian columns, above which is an entablature with a frieze inscribed with ATKINSON FREE LIBRARY and a pediment.

If you were to fly into Cardiff Airport these days on a clear day and look towards Barry Island, you would see the words YNYS Y BARRI BARRY ISLAND writ large on the wall along the Eastern Promenade. The large scale letters have been formed from colourful, quirky climbing holds and other acrylic shapes of buckets, trains, flip flops, ice cream cones, anchors, fish
The 2014 Celfwaith commission to create a climbing wall was part of a major refurbishment scheme on Barry Island, including structural works to the Eastern end of the Promenade
Early in 2014 Celfwaith appointed Becky Adams to collaborate on consultation meetings and workshops with youth groups at Area 41 and Barry Island, pupils at Barry Island Primary School, and the Barry Island Historical Society.
Gordon Young was appointed to create the climbing wall and had previous experience of creating climbing and bouldering structures in Blackpool. However, his proposal for Barry Island was completely different and captured the fun, colourful and tongue-in-cheek character of the place popularised by Gavin & Stacey.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DD8H4T - Conwy previously known in English as Conway, is a walled market town, community and the administrative centre of Conwy County Borough in North Wales. The walled town and castle stand on the west bank of the River Conwy, facing Deganwy on the east bank. The town formerly lay in Gwynedd and prior to that in Caernarfonshire. The community, which also includes Deganwy and Llandudno Junction, had a population of 14,753 at the 2011 census.
Although the community of Conwy straddles the River Conwy, for postal purposes the areas on the east bank form part of the post town of Llandudno Junction, with the Conwy post town being confined to west bank of the river. The ward on the west bank of the river had a population of 4,065 at the 2011 census.
The resident population of the wider Conwy County Borough was estimated to be 116,200 in an ONS-estimate.
The name 'Conwy' derives from the old Welsh words cyn (chief) and gwy (water), the river being originally called the 'Cynwy

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

The large facility, originally built in 1919, was designed at a time when Coney Island was the primary summer resort area for the New York metropolitan area, with all of the rail lines in southern Brooklyn funneling service to the area. It is one of the largest elevated transportation terminals in the world.
The station has eight tracks and four island platforms, with trains entering from both compass north and south. It is located at the corner of Stillwell and Surf Avenues in Coney Island, the site of the former West End Terminal. Geographically, the station is the southernmost terminal in the New York City Subway system.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9PJ - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9TN - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RKMM8B - Brighton is a seaside resort on the south coast of England that is part of the city of Brighton and Hove, located 47 miles (76 km) south of London.
Brighton's location has made it a popular destination for tourists, renowned for its diverse communities, quirky shopping areas, large cultural, music and arts scene and its large LGBT population, leading to its recognition as the unofficial gay capital of the UK. Brighton attracted 7.5 million day visitors in 2015/16 and 4.9 million overnight visitors, and is the most popular seaside destination in the UK for overseas tourists. Brighton has also been called the UK's hippest city, and the happiest place to live in the UK
In 1985, the Borough Council described three myths about Brighton's economy. Common beliefs were that most of the working population commuted to London every day
that tourism provided most of Brighton's jobs and income
or that the borough's residents were composed entirely of wealthy theatricals and retired businesspeople rather than workers. Brighton has been an important centre for commerce and employment since the 18th century. It is home to several major companies, some of which employ thousands of people locally
as a retail centre it is of regional importance
creative, digital and new media businesses are increasingly significant
and, although Brighton was never a major industrial centre, its railway works contributed to Britain's rail industry in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in the manufacture of steam locomotives.
Since the amalgamation of Brighton and Hove, economic and retail data has been produced at a citywide level only. Examples of statistics include: Brighton and Hove's tourism industry contributes £380m to the economy and employs 20,000 people directly or indirectly
the city has 9,600 registered companies
and a 2001 report identified it as one of five supercities for the future. In the past couple of years tourists to Brighton and Hove have fallen.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RKMM8T - The Royal Pavilion, also known as the Brighton Pavilion, is a Grade I listed former royal residence located in Brighton, England. Beginning in 1787, it was built in three stages as a seaside retreat for George, Prince of Wales, who became the Prince Regent in 1811. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most of the 19th century. The current appearance of the Pavilion, with its domes and minarets, is the work of architect John Nash, who extended the building starting in 1815.
The purchase of the Royal Pavilion from Queen Victoria, by Brighton, marked the beginnings of the site's attraction as a tourist destination. The Royal Pavilion has been changed from a private residence to a public attraction under civic ownership. Today, around 400,000 people visit the Royal Pavilion annually. General filming and photography is not permitted inside the Royal Pavilion. Many of the items in the palace are on loan, in particular from HM The Queen, and one condition of the loans is that the items cannot be photographed or reproduced without prior written permission.
The Royal Pavilion is licensed as a venue for weddings. On 29 March 2014, the Royal Pavilion was host to one of a number of the first legal same-sex marriages to take place in the United Kingdom following the passage of the 2013 Same Sex Couples Act.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RKMM9B - Brighton Fringe is an open-access arts festival held annually in Brighton, England. It is the largest annual arts festival in England and one of the largest fringe festivals in the world. Brighton Fringe 2018 took place from 4 May “ 3 June. The programme of 2018 included 1008 events at over 166 venues across 4 weeks.
Brighton Fringe runs at a similar time to Brighton Festival, and in 2013 extended its run to four weeks. In 2019, Brighton Fringe will run from 3 May-2 June.
One of the event's main objectives is to promote local talent and the arts. It also offers performers an opportunity for their event to be reviewed or picked up by promoters, as well as going on to Edinburgh. This is why anyone can put on a Brighton Fringe event. In 2011 Brighton Fringe launched the Professional Development Programme, aimed at offering workshops to aspiring performers wanting to progress in the business. In 2012, Brighton Fringe opened its own on-street box office, which provided a physical base for the arts event, selling tickets as well as being a hub for promoters and performers. They also launched Brighton in the Square, a showcase of Brighton Fringe performers at the Leicester Square Theatre in London.
As part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad, Brighton Fringe introduced the Dip Your Toe project in 2012, which featured performances in six custom-built Victorian bathing machines, which were located throughout Brighton and Hove during the month of May. In 2014, the organisation launched an Arts Council England supported scheme called Window which showcases productions suitable for touring.
Brighton Fringe is a registered charity but does not rely on public funding, in fact, less than 3% of its income is generated from public sources. The other sources of revenue include participants' registration fees, advertising, sponsorship and Friends membership.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RKMM9Y - British Airways i360 is a 162-metre (531 ft) observation tower on the seafront of Brighton, East Sussex, England at the landward end of the former West Pier. The tower opened on 4 August 2016. From the fully enclosed viewing pod, visitors experience 360-degree views across Brighton, the South Downs, the English Channel and on the clearest days it is possible to see Beachy Head 17 miles (27 km) to the east and the Isle of Wight 41 miles (66 km) to the west.
British Airways i360 was designed, engineered, manufactured and promoted by the team responsible for the London Eye. It is estimated by the developers that the i360 will generate more than 440 permanent jobs
160 posts at the attraction, and additional jobs from the spin-off benefits to other businesses in the city. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through Brighton and Hove city council.
Formerly known as the Brighton i360, the project aimed to attract 739,000 paying customers every year, but has consistently fallen significantly short of this. The owner of the site, the West Pier Trust, hoped in 2014 that a successful i360 would lead to the rebuilding of the historic West Pier. The i360 carried its 1,000,000th passenger on the 11am flight on 11 March 2019.

A fabulous seaside hotel location, but in February you can guess that the weather at down to -2C was pretty cold and very grey. Many goosebumps on the bridesmaids, but a cracking day had by all and a great start to the marriage of Jen Foxley and Steven Alan Bone.
Richard Connolly my partner in crime and I were kept very busy and had a great day with all the friends and family who attended. This is a panorama of five images stitched together and practically everyone who attended, all in one shot. If you check, only 4 people who blinked or had their eyes closed out of 60, a personal best!
We wish the best of luck to the two of them, be sure to book us for the Christening party! ',

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM9AW4 - This documentary stock photograph shows Black and White Southend-on-Sea seafront panorama, wide image from beach to town centre, Essex, South East England, UK, SS1 2EJ. The scene belongs to the Southend-on-Sea seafront and beachfront leisure strip, a classic Essex seaside setting where amusement arcades, fish and chip shops, pubs, bowling, family attractions and day-trip promenades sit close together. The image is especially useful because it records monochrome treatment, wide composition, not a generic tourist board view, so it can illustrate real trading frontage, local colour, shop signs, coastal leisure and the everyday economy of a British resort town. Southend has long depended on visitors arriving for the pier, beach, amusements and evening hospitality, and images like this help explain how traditional seaside places continue to balance nostalgia with modern retail, food, drink and entertainment uses. Editorial buyers could use it for stories about coastal regeneration, seaside tourism, amusement arcades, family holidays, local business survival, seasonal employment, consumer spending, waterfront redevelopment, heritage leisure and the social history of British day trips. It also works for commentary on how resort towns present themselves visually, with bright signs, familiar names, glass-fronted arcades, food offers and a dense mixture of leisure uses competing for passing footfall. For SEO and stock search, relevant composite terms include Southend seafront amusement arcade, Essex seaside tourism, British beachfront entertainment, family coastal day out, traditional seaside economy, high street leisure frontage and UK resort town regeneration. The value is in the combination of place-specific caption wording, visible subject matter and practical editorial usefulness. It could support news, magazine, web, travel, council, planning, business, heritage, nostalgia, tourism, consumer affairs and local economy content where a real coastal.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM9AW6 - Pie and mash is a traditional working-class food, originating in the East End of London. Pie, mash and eel shops have been in London since the 19th century, and are still common in East and South London and in many parts of Kent and Essex. The shops may serve stewed or jellied eels.
During the Victorian era, industrial air pollution tended to be worse in the east and south east of London because of the prevailing westerly wind, with the result that the East End was settled more by the working classes, while the western part of the city was home to higher social classes. The working class were poor and favoured foodstuffs that were cheap, in plentiful supply and easy to prepare.
The savoury pie had long been a traditional food, and its small handsized form also made it a transportable meal, protected from dirt by its cold pastry crust, and filled with cheap minced meat, usually mutton. Adding cheap mashed potatoes, together with a sauce made with fish stock and parsley, made it a plate-based sit-down meal.
Jellied eels are often associated with pie and mash, as European eels cooked in gelatine also became a common worker's meal since eels were one of the few forms of fish that could survive in the heavily polluted River Thames and London's other rivers at that time. Supply was plentiful through the late 1800s, particularly from the Dutch fishing boats landing catches at Billingsgate Fish Market.
Since 2010, as revealed in a joint study by the Zoological Society of London and the Environment Agency, the number of eels captured in research traps in the River Thames fell from 1,500 in 2005 to 50 in 2010, meaning most eels used in pie and mash shops are now from the Netherlands and Northern Ireland.

It also works for commentary on how resort towns present themselves visually, with bright signs, familiar names, glass-fronted arcades, food offers and a dense mixture of leisure uses competing for passing footfall. For SEO and stock search, relevant composite terms include Southend seafront amusement arcade, Essex seaside tourism, British beachfront entertainment, family coastal day out, traditional seaside economy, high street leisure frontage and UK resort town regeneration. The value is in the combination of place-specific caption wording, visible subject matter and practical editorial usefulness. It could support news, magazine, web, travel, council, planning, business, heritage, nostalgia, tourism, consumer affairs and local economy content where a real coastal street scene is needed rather than a polished stock illustration.

This classic GnR track is from The Spaghetti Incident. The album was the fifth and is unique for the band, consisting entirely of cover versions, mostly of punk and glam rock songs of the late 1970s and early 1980s. This was the last Guns N' Roses album to feature lead guitarist Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum.
The title is an inside joke referring to a food fight between Axl Rose and Steven Adler involving spaghetti. Much was made of this food fight during Adler's resolution lawsuit with the band in 1993, in which Adler's attorney referred to it as 'the Spaghetti Incident'. The meaning was explained by drummer Matt Sorum in a 1994 interview with Much Music and confirmed by Slash in his autobiography, 'Slash'.
The album has seen mixed reviews since its release. Rolling Stone magazine gave the album a 3.5 out of 5 stars. Allmusic said 'As punk albums go, The Spaghetti Incident? lacks righteous anger and rage. As Guns N' Roses albums go, it's a complete delight, returning to the ferocious, hard-rocking days of Appetite for Destruction'.
Always nice to see some leather with lace.

Anthony Frank 'Tony' Iommi (born 19 February 1948) is an English guitarist and songwriter, best known as the founding member of pioneering heavy metal band Black Sabbath, its sole continual member through multiple personnel changes. This track is from from his excellent 2000 solo album 'Iommi'. A 'Brummy' from Handsworth, he has a star on the Birmingham walk of fame.
This shot was taken on a Whitby goth weekend, when more than usual the streets are filled with characters a mix of goth, steampunk, new romantic and may other creative styles. I was there for afew hours with Freddie Bernard. The alley is named after Thomas Argument.
Arguments Yard on Church Street leading up to Whitby Abbey is a well known local feature, once owned by the Arguments. Unlike the name suggests it is not a place to meet for a quarrel! It is named after our relative Thomas Argument who built a cottage on Church Street with its back garden running down to the harbour. To raise some more income he built five more cottages in the garden area which he then rented out. In 1871
The census return shows the tenants for 1b were Esther Knaggs (49) Charwoman and her son John (17) a Jet Ornament Maker, hence the link with both family business interests. Although Arguments Yard does not have public access, many of the little alleyways are well worth exploring if ever you visit Whitby.

Is This Desire? is a 1998 (see 1998 in music) album by British singer-songwriter PJ Harvey.
Recorded on and off in Dorset and London between April 1997 and April 1998, it was co-produced by Flood, Head and Harvey herself, and featured instrumental contributions from Rob Ellis, John Parish, Mick Harvey, Eric Drew Feldman, Joe Gore and Jeremy Hogg. It marked a move away from Harvey\u2019s earlier guitar-driven rock style into subtler, quieter, atmospheric soundscapes and mood pieces based around keyboards, bass and electronics.
The album met with a mixed reception from critics and fans upon release, some of whom were disappointed by Harvey\u2019s experimental and less bombastic new style. Reviews were generally positive, however. Q magazine praised the record as 'disturbing and excellent', CMJ called it 'another milestone in her already illustrious career', and Entertainment Weekly said it 'seethes with hypnotic power'
the magazine Dazed &
Confused claimed 'Is This Desire? will be a classic of the next 10 if not 20 years.
It has the impeccable timing of jazz, the arrangement of a classic dance track, the depth of an orchestral symphony and the emotional charge of gospel.' It received a Grammy Award nomination as Best Alternative Music Performance of 1998. Although it did not sell as well as her 1995 commercial breakthrough To Bring You My Love, it did spawn her biggest UK hit with the single 'A Perfect Day Elise'
a second single, 'The Wind', also dented the UK Top 30.
Blackpool Illuminations is an annual Lights Festival, founded in 1879 and first switched on 18 September that year, held each autumn in the English seaside resort of Blackpool on the Fylde Coast in Lancashire.
Also known locally as The Lights or The Illuminations, they run each year for sixty-six days, from late August until early November at a time when most other English seaside resorts' seasons are coming to an end. Dubbed as 'the greatest free light show on earth', they are 6 miles (10 km) long and use over one million bulbs. The display stretches along the Promenade from Starr Gate at the south end of the town to Bispham in the north.
In 2011 the Illuminations will shine from 2 September to 6 November 2011

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Eddie Vedder (born Edward Louis Severson III 1964) is an American musician and singer-songwriter who currently serves as the lead vocalist and one of four guitarists for the American alternative rock band Pearl Jam. Vedder left the Southern California music scene and moved to Seattle, Washington in 1990 to join Pearl Jam where he rose to fame amid the grunge movement of the early 1990s. He is notable for his baritone vocal style, and widely considered a cultural icon of alternative rock.
He is also involved in soundtrack work and contributes to albums by other artists. In 2007, Vedder released his first solo album as a soundtrack for the film Into the Wild (2007). His second album, Ukulele Songs, along with a live DVD titled Water on the Road, was released on 31 May 2011.
Vedder contributed an album's worth of songs to the soundtrack for the 2007 film, Into the Wild. The soundtrack was released on September 18, 2007 through J Records. It includes covers of the Indio song 'Hard Sun' and the Jerry Hannan song 'Society'. Vedder said that having to write songs based on a narrative 'simplified things.' He said, 'There were fewer choices. The story was there and the scenes were there.' Vedder's songs written for the film feature a folk sound. Thom Jurek of Allmusic called the soundtrack a 'collection of folksy, rootsy tunes where rock &
roll makes fleeting appearances.' Vedder won a 2008 Golden Globe Award for the song 'Guaranteed' from Into the Wild. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for his contributions to the film's original score.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4714928394 - 'The Celtic cross is a symbol that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection.
In the Celtic Christian world it was combined with the Christian cross and this design was often used for high crosses. These are free-standing crosses made of stone and often richly decorated.
With the Celtic Revival, the shape, usually decorated with interlace and other motifs from Insular art, became popular for funerary monuments and other uses, and has remained so, spreading well beyond the British Isles.
It is popular in Cornwall where an individual feeling of ancient culture lives on, as can be seen in the Barnoon cemetary here, which overlooks the St Ives surfing beach of Porthmeor.
In Celtic regions of Ireland and later in Great Britain, many free-standing upright crosses or high crosses were erected by Irish monks, beginning at least as early as the 7th century. Some of these 'Celtic' crosses bear inscriptions in runes. There are surviving free-standing crosses in Cornwall (famously St Piran's cross at Perranporth) and Wales, on the island of Iona and in the Hebrides, as well as the many in Ireland. Other stone crosses are found in the former Northumbria and Scotland, and further south in England.
Due to its simplicity as a symboil, in Germany, the Celtic cross was adopted by a prohibited neo-Nazi party (VSBD/PdA) leading to the ban of the symbol.

It is supported in true victorian fashion by 600 iron piles, and is 400 metres long. Unfortunatly it has form where fire is concerned. It has been damaged by fire on two occasions in 1930 and 2008.
At 01:35 on the 28 July 2008, a fire at the foot of the north tower on the shoreward (eastern) end of the pavilion triggered the privately monitored fire alarm. The Essex-based alarm monitoring company were unable to contact the key-holder by mobile phone and no further action was taken.
It was not until 06:46 that the Avon Fire and Rescue Service (AFRS) was notified, by this time a hefty blaze was under way. It deployed 13 fire engines, special appliances, and more than 85 firefighters to tackle the blaze, but the building was soon destroyed.
Robert Tinker, a Grand Pier employee, was later praised by the fire service as he braved the extreme intensity of the heat from the flames to rush around the side of the building to remove several gas canisters which had been stored within the premises, had these not been removed the AFRS claim that the fire could have been much worse and with the possibility of needing evacuation of local residents and traders.
Preliminary investigations suggested that the fire started due to a number of deep fat fryers which had been located within the area pavilion, however after further investigation this was later ruled out, as was arson. On 22 October a news conference was held by AFRS who announced that despite their efforts the cause of the fire would be recorded as unknown, but that the most likely cause was an electrical fire.
Workmen began dismantling the wreckage on 12th September and a design competition for the new pavilion was won by the Bristol-based Angus Meek Architects' on 15th October. On 7th December it was announced that a slowly rotating 91 metres (299 ft) tall observation tower was proposed along with the new building.
On 12 March 2009, North Somerset Council approved the plans, which are to cost \u00a334 million. The new pavilion is expected to open in the summer of 2010. On 5 August 2009 it was announced that contractors John Sisk &
Son Ltd had been selected to construct the new pavilion and it was hoped that it would be completed by July 2010. These lads are working on the project. Jeff Bonvallet is at the far right.

?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Physical Graffiti is the 6th album by Led Zeppelin. I find it difficult to pick just one track from this spectacular double album.
It was released on 24 February 1975. Recording sessions for the album were initially disrupted when John Paul Jones considered leaving the band. After reuniting at Headley Grange, the band wrote and recorded eight songs, the combined length of which stretched the album beyond the typical length of an LP. This prompted the band to make Physical Graffiti a double album by including previously unreleased tracks from earlier recording sessions.
Physical Graffiti was commercially and critically successful
the album is 16 times platinum (though this signifies sales of 8 million copies, as it is a double album) in the United States alone, and has come to be regarded as one of Led Zeppelin's defining works. The album is ranked highly on several prominent best album or best rock album lists of all time.

Fleetsbridge Underpass Grafitti, Poole, Dorset UK
This brilliant piece of colourfull grafitti and tagging stretches ten slabs of concrete in an underpass adjacent to a skatepark. It is a joiner of five wide images.
This was a youth arts project to design a new mural for the Fleetsbridge Skate Park, Creekmoor. west of Poole, under the A35
The final design was painted at the skate park around Easter 2007, followed by a celebration event on the final day to launch the new mural. The Mayor of Poole, Cllr Mrs Judy Butt turned out with other supporters of this project to see the finished mural and congratulate everyone involved for their hard work.
This great project was funded by the Community Foundation , Borough of Poole and Wave Arts Education Agency, and in partnership with the Creekmoor Community Association and Millennium Volunteers. The project brought in professional artist Felix Braun to conduct workshops for 120 young people from various schools and youth clubs across Poole.
Three young people gained a Youth Arts Award qualification whilst working on their project, which they can use towards future youth arts careers. Good for them !
Amazingly on the end of the bypass wall is a council sign stating 'No Grafitti'.

Poole Quay is a visitor attraction to the south of the town centre lined with a mixture of traditional public houses, redeveloped warehouses, modern apartment blocks and historic listed buildings. Once the busy centre of Poole's maritime industry, all port activities moved to Hamworthy in the 1970s as the Quay became increasingly popular with tourists.
The Grade II* listed Customs House on the quay-front was built in 1814 and now functions as a restaurant and bar. Nearby the Grade I listed Town Cellars, a medieval warehouse built in the 15th century on the foundations of a 14th century stone building, houses a local history centre.
Scaplen's Court, another Grade I listed building, also dates from the medieval era. The Poole Pottery production factory once stood on the eastern end of the Quay but the site was redeveloped into a luxury apartment block and marina in 2001, although an outlet store remains on the site. Boats regularly depart from the quay during the summer and provide cruises around the harbour and to Brownsea Island, the River Frome and Swanage.
Public artworks along the Quay include Sea Music “ a large metal sculpture designed by Sir Anthony Caro, and a life-size bronze sculpture of Robert Baden-Powell created to celebrate the founding of the Scout Movement on Brownsea Island. At the western end of the quay near the mouth of Holes Bay is Poole Bridge. Built in 1927, it is the third bridge to be located on the site since 1834

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RDAW24 - Elderly woman relaxes with her eyes closed in a traditional wooden deckchair on a busy sandy beach during hot summer weather. Wearing a black and pink swimsuit, she appears to be enjoying the sunshine while other holidaymakers, beach equipment and a colourful windbreak are visible behind her. The close viewpoint places the senior citizen at the centre of an image combining seaside leisure, tourism, ageing, sun exposure and the public-health implications of increasingly extreme heat.
The photograph is especially relevant to the exceptional late June 2026 heatwave across the United Kingdom and Europe. Britain provisionally recorded 36.7°C at Merryfield in Somerset on 25 June, exceeding the longstanding national June maximum for a second successive day of record-breaking temperatures. Across western and central Europe, persistent high pressure and an atmospheric blocking pattern, commonly described as a heat dome or omega block, trapped very warm air and brought dangerous conditions to numerous countries.
Although warm sunny weather can benefit coastal resorts, tourism and outdoor recreation, prolonged high temperatures also create greater risks for older people. Senior citizens may be more susceptible to dehydration, heat exhaustion, heatstroke and complications involving existing heart, respiratory or mobility conditions. The image can therefore illustrate both enjoyment of summer sunshine and the importance of shade, hydration, appropriate clothing, sunscreen and avoiding the most intense midday heat.
Human-driven climate change,caused principally by accumulated greenhouse-gas emissions from burning coal, oil and gas, is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme heat. The picture provides a clear editorial connection between everyday beach life and the broader consequences of global heating, including broken temperature records, pressure on health services, overheated homes, disruption to infrastructure and the growing need for societies to adapt to hotter

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JR3MR5 - A classic green and cream English Electric Balloon tram travels along Blackpool Promenade in Lancashire, displaying Promenade Tour destination boards. Fleet number 700 is seen in bright daylight beneath the overhead wires, with hotels, parked cars and the busy seafront behind. Its rounded double-deck body, curved upper windows and traditional livery create one of the most recognisable transport images associated with the English seaside resort.
The vehicle was built by English Electric in Preston in 1934 and was the first of Blackpool's production Balloon cars. It originally carried fleet number 237 before the class was renumbered in the late 1960s, when it became number 700. The streamlined design formed part of Walter Luff's modernisation of Blackpool Corporation Tramways during the 1930s. Balloon cars offered high passenger capacity for seasonal crowds and became enduring symbols of holidays, Illuminations journeys and travel along the Fylde coast.
Number 700 later received a sympathetic restoration that reinstated traditional styling details and a wartime green and cream colour scheme. Although modified for the upgraded tramway, it retained much of its historic appearance and has appeared on heritage and promenade tours. Blackpool's electric tramway opened in 1885 and remains a rare surviving first-generation British street tramway, combining modern vehicles with preserved historic cars on selected occasions.
The photograph suits editorial themes including British transport history, heritage tourism, seaside holidays, public transport, tram preservation, English Electric engineering, Art Deco design, coastal travel and nostalgia for Blackpool. It also records the contrast between a 1930s vehicle, present-day traffic and changing Promenade hotels. Blackpool Transport announced plans in 2026 for summer heritage trips and a permanent home for the historic fleet, keeping these vehicles relevant to the resort's tourism economy and cultural identity

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRM3AT - Rigby Road Depot and Tramtown in Blackpool, Lancashire, photographed in bright sunshine with blue sky, overhead tram wires, tram poles, security fencing, tram tracks and the red brick engineering buildings of Blackpool Transport visible behind the depot gates. The scene shows the working heritage tram environment associated with Blackpool's famous tramway, one of Britain's best known seaside public transport systems and a major part of the resort's identity on the Fylde Coast. The depot is strongly linked with Blackpool Heritage Trams, tram maintenance, engineering work, vehicle storage, restoration, preservation and public depot tours. Rigby Road has long been associated with Blackpool Transport operations, and the site is recognised for housing and maintaining buses and heritage trams, while newer modern tram fleet operations use the Starr Gate depot. The image is useful for editorial and commercial themes around British tramways, public transport heritage, municipal transport, light rail history, seaside tourism, transport infrastructure, industrial architecture, depot engineering, tram preservation and visitor attractions in Blackpool. The visible overhead line equipment, trackwork, depot entrance, fencing and large covered shed provide clear visual evidence of a working transport site rather than a general museum interior. The red brick buildings and practical engineering yard also make the photograph relevant to urban infrastructure, operational depots, railway and tram enthusiast interest, local authority transport history, sustainable electric transport and the continued popularity of vintage trams in a modern coastal town. The bright spring or summer-like conditions, hard sunlight and clear shadows give the image an optimistic, open-air feel, contrasting with the industrial depot setting. It can illustrate Blackpool tourism, Lancashire heritage, Fylde Coast travel, historic vehicles, electric tram engineering, public transport investment, transport museums

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9W9 - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R15NFR - Another Place is a piece of modern sculpture by British artist Antony Gormley located at Crosby Beach in Merseyside, England. It consists of 100 cast iron figures facing towards the sea. The figures are modelled on the artist's own naked body.[1] The work proved controversial due to the naked statues but has increased tourism to the beach. After being exhibited at two other locations it was put on display at Crosby on 1 July 2005. After some controversy Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council decided on 7 March 2007 that the sculptures should be permanently installed at the beach
The work consists of cast iron figures which face out to sea, spread over a 2-mile (3.2 km) stretch of beach between Waterloo and Blundellsands. Each figure is 189 centimetres (6 ft 2 in) tall and weighs around 650 kilograms (1,430 lb). The figures are cast replicas of Gormley's own body. As the tides ebb and flow, the figures are revealed and submerged by the sea, and are subject to corrosion by seawater and colonisation by marine animals. The figures were cast at Hargreaves Foundry in Halifax, West Yorkshire and the Joseph and Jesse Siddons Foundry in West Bromwich by foundryman Derek Alexander
