Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FC89M4 - . Vapour and cbd shopfront on witton street documents one of the specialist retail formats now common on British high streets. Vaping retail has become a conspicuous part of many UK high streets, often occupying small units vacated by older comparison-goods retailers. The category sits inside a fast-changing regulatory debate covering youth access, disposable products, advertising, nicotine dependence, illicit imports and environmental waste. Stores commonly combine e-cigarettes, liquids and accessories with confectionery, soft drinks, CBD products or smoking paraphernalia. That hybrid business model makes these shopfronts useful for editorial coverage of consumer habits, public health, licensing, enforcement and the changing commercial geography of town centres. In Northwich and Warrington, as elsewhere, such premises sit beside older retail categories, creating a visible marker of how consumer demand and shop occupancy have changed since the 2010s. The image can support reporting on vaping policy, smoking cessation, youth health, trading standards, illegal products, disposable-vape waste, CBD retail and town-centre regeneration. Because signage and product categories can change quickly in response to legislation, photographs of individual shops also have strong archive value. For researchers and publishers, the image offers an authentic non-studio reference to ordinary life rather than an abstract illustration. Related search concepts include community, public space, contemporary Britain, changing high streets, local economy, culture and visual social history. Because the photograph is tied to a specific date, it can later be compared with subsequent changes in signage, ownership, regulation, public use or the surrounding streetscape. It additionally captures ordinary material culture of 2026, including the graphic design, technology, clothing or infrastructure through which broader trends become visible at street level.

Because the photograph is tied to a specific date, it can later be compared with subsequent changes in signage, ownership, regulation, public use or the surrounding streetscape. The dated scene is useful for local history, news illustration and later comparison. Useful for dated UK editorial coverage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EY3DCX - Purplebricks Sold it. estate agency board displayed outside a residential property in the United Kingdom. The distinctive purple, white and yellow sign shows that a home marketed through the online estate agency has reached an agreed sale, making the image relevant to the housing market and changing methods of buying and selling homes.
The board uses Purplebricks' recognisable corporate identity, with large white lettering on a purple background and a yellow sold panel beneath. Standing in a front garden beside mature planting, railings and a traditional brick house, it provides a clear visual symbol of a completed residential property transaction.
Purplebricks was launched in the United Kingdom as a technology-led alternative to traditional high-street estate agents, combining online property marketing and digital tools with agent support. Its model became associated with fixed-fee selling, app-based communication, online viewing bookings and listings across major property portals. The brand became one of the most prominent names in UK online estate agency and helped intensify debate about estate agent fees, digital disruption and consumer choice.
The company's trading business and assets were acquired by rival online estate agency Strike in 2023 for a nominal £1 after a prolonged decline in its listed value and a strategic review. The Purplebricks name continued as the principal consumer brand under the new ownership, illustrating both the strength of its recognition and the volatility of the property technology sector.
The image can illustrate house sales, moving home, property chains, mortgage lending, conveyancing, buyer demand, seller confidence, agency fees, housing affordability and fluctuations in residential market activity. It is also suitable for stories about PropTech, digital agents, business restructuring, brand survival and home ownership.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T35C20 - The Royal Albert Hall is a concert hall on the northern edge of South Kensington, London, England. It has a seating capacity of 5,272.
Since the hall's opening by Queen Victoria in 1871, the world's leading artists from many performance genres have appeared on its stage. It is the venue for the BBC Proms concerts, which have been held there every summer since 1941. It is host to more than 390 shows in the main auditorium annually, including classical, rock and pop concerts, ballet, opera, film screenings with live orchestral accompaniment, sports, awards ceremonies, school and community events, and charity performances and banquets. A further 400 events are held each year in the non-auditorium spaces. Over its 152 year history the hall has hosted people from various fields, including meetings held by suffragettes, speeches from Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein, fights by Lennox Lewis, exhibition bouts by Muhammad Ali, and concerts from regular performers at the venue such as Eric Clapton and Shirley Bassey.
The hall was originally to have been called the Central Hall of Arts and Sciences, but the name was changed to the Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences by Queen Victoria upon laying the Hall's foundation stone in 1867, in memory of her husband, Prince Albert, who had died six years earlier. It forms the practical part of a memorial to the Prince Consort
the decorative part is the Albert Memorial directly to the north in Kensington Gardens, now separated from the Hall by Kensington Gore.
The Hall was designed by civil engineers Captain Francis Fowke and Major-General Henry Y. D. Scott of the Royal Engineers and built by Lucas Brothers. The designers were heavily influenced by ancient amphitheatres but had also been exposed to the ideas of Gottfried Semper while he was working at the South Kensington Museum

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YGY - . The Wilco Big sale after administration, August 2023, Golden Square Shopping Centre, 77 The Mall, Centre of Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK, WA1 1QE. Photographed on 4 August 2023. Wilko collapses into administration August 2023, putting 12,000 jobs at risk. The chain has been unable to find emergency investment to save its 400 shops across the UK. Wilko had been working to secure a white knight for the business which has been trading since 1930. The firm's boss, Mark Jackson, said management had left no stone unturned in its attempts to save the business. But must concede that with regret, we've no choice but to take the difficult decision to enter into administration, he said. Looking at public realm, the longer history is that banners, monuments and temporary installations can transform a formal square into a record of particular events or institutional identity. The background to local landmark is that local place names and small landmarks can be as important to community history as nationally famous buildings
Streets, neighbourhood businesses and informal attractions provide reference points that may vanish during redevelopment or rebranding. Within the history of retail and leisure, small businesses have long adapted existing premises to changing consumer demand, adding signs, windows and interiors that make each period visually distinct
Their survival is closely tied to footfall, rents, local competition and the wider fortunes of the town centre. In 2026, public realm remains relevant because well-used squares continue to be important to tourism and local identity, while redesign projects often focus on accessibility, shade, planting and flexible event use. Current 2026 context around local landmark is that regeneration, housing growth and changing high streets continue to alter many British towns, giving well-located photographs practical relevance for local-history comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ29PN - Bacharach (pronunciation (help·info), also known as Bacharach am Rhein) is a town in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rhein-Nahe, whose seat is in Bingen am Rhein, although that town is not within its bounds.
The original name Baccaracus suggests a Celtic origin. Above the town stands Stahleck Castle (Burg Stahleck), now a youth hostel.
Geography
Location
The town lies in the Rhine Gorge, 48 km south of Koblenz.
Constituent communities
Bacharach is divided into several Ortsteile. The outlying centre of Steeg lies in the Steeg Valley (Steeger Tal) off to the side, away from the Rhine. This glen lies between Medenscheid and Neurath to the south and Henschhausen to the north on the heights.
History
In the early 11th century, Bacharach had its first documentary mention. It may have been that as early as the 7th century, the kingly domain passed into Archbishop of Cologne Kunibert's ownership
pointing to this is a Kunibertskapelle (chapel) on the spot where now stands the Wernerkapelle. The Vögte of the Cologne estate were the Elector of the Palatinate, who over time pushed back Cologne's influence.
Caring for and maintaining Bacharach's building monuments, spurred on in the early 20th century by the Rhenish Association for Monument Care and Landscape Preservation (Rheinischer Verein für Denkmalpflege und Landschaftsschutz) which took on the then highly endangered town wall and Stahleck Castle ruin jobs, and the great dedication of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate to the Wernerkapelle have seen to it that Bacharach is still a jewel of the Rheinromantik and a multifaceted documentary site of mediaeval architecture on the Middle Rhine. The Wernerkapelle ruin is under monumental protection and before it a plaque has been placed recalling the inhuman crimes against Jewish residents and also containing a quotation from a prayer by Pope John XXIII for a change in Christians' thinking in their relationship

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NAWEXJ - EKCO (from Eric Kirkham Cole Limited) was a British electronics company producing radio and television sets from 1924 until 1960. Expanding into plastic production for its own use, Ekco Plastics produced both radio cases and later domestic plastic products
the plastics company became Lin Pac Mouldings Ltd.
The company's founder Eric Kirkham Cole was born on 4 July 1901 at Prittlewell, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, and was educated at Southend Day Technical School, followed by a three-year apprenticeship. Cole and his future wife Muriel Bradshaw started out making radio sets in 1924.
William Streatfield Verrells, a schoolmaster and freelance journalist from Southend-on-Sea, wrote an article in a local newspaper asking if it was possible to power a radio set from the mains electricity supply rather than batteries. Cole saw a possible business opportunity
In the late 1930s, Ekco began producing its own radio valves at its Southend-on-Sea works. Following the company's decision to abandon the venture, the plant was converted to a lamp factory. In 1943, Ekco acquired Ensign Lamps based in Preston. In 1950, Ekco sold 51% of its lighting subsidiary, Ekco-Ensign Electric Ltd, to Thorn Electrical Industries.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KBYXBN - Artist's brush shapes
The styles of brush tip seen most commonly are:
Round: pointed tip, long closely arranged bristles for detail.
Flat: for spreading paint quickly and evenly over a surface. They will have longer hairs than their Bright counterpart.
Bright: shorter than flats. Flat brushes with short stiff bristles, good for driving paint into the weave of a canvas in thinner paint applications, as well as thicker painting styles like impasto work.
Filbert: flat brushes with domed ends. They allow good coverage and the ability to perform some detail work.
Fan: for blending broad areas of paint.
Angle: like the filbert, these are versatile and can be applied in both general painting application as well as some detail work.
Mop: a larger format brush with a rounded edge for broad soft paint application as well as for getting thinner glazes over existing drying layers of paint without damaging lower layers to protect the paintbrush
Rigger: round brushes with longish hairs, traditionally used for painting the rigging in pictures of ships. They are useful for fine lines and are versatile for both oils and watercolors.
Stippler and deer-foot stippler: short, stubby rounds
Liner: elongated rounds
Dagger looks like angle with longish hairs, used for one stroke painting like painting long leaves.
Scripts: highly elongated rounds
Egbert : a filbert with extra long hair, used for oil painting

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3J7AH - This documentary stock photograph shows the front window of Bridgfords estate agents in Stockton Heath, south Warrington, Cheshire, filled with repeated orange advertising boards promoting buy-to-let investment. The visible wording, including Buy-to-let investment and For you and your future , makes the image useful for editorial features on landlords, private rented housing, property investment, lettings, estate agency marketing, mortgage advice and the changing economics of the UK rental market.

The reflected street scene adds local context, showing this as a real high-street agency window rather than a staged advertising image. Stockton Heath is a sought-after village suburb south of Warrington, with shops, restaurants and services clustered around London Road and the Market Square area. Bridgfords lists its Stockton Heath branch at 66-70 London Road, Warrington, WA4 6HR, and describes it as handling residential sales, lettings and mortgage advice, with window displays aimed at passing traffic. The image can support articles about the private rented sector, landlord regulation, letting agents, housing affordability, investment yields, mortgage costs, tenancy reform, second homes, property portfolios, local housing markets, town-centre estate agents, suburban Cheshire property, and the relationship between owner occupation, renting and investment. The overcast daylight, window reflections and closely repeated posters give the photograph a candid, observational feel, suitable for business, finance, housing policy, local news, property market, consumer advice and social commentary use.

Victoria Bridge was built in 1837, the year Queen Victoria ascended the throne, hence the name. This new bridge replaced an old and narrow hump-backed pack-saddle one. Indeed, the original line of the road that led over the bridge, down Smithy Fold, and along Ellison Street is traceable, and is preserved particularly in the buildings of the Brook Tavern, Cafeteria, Glossop Pizza, Balti Palace (all built in 1832).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JX2RPH - There are mainly two types of ice cream vans in the United Kingdom: a hard van, which sells scoop ice cream and is only equipped with a freezer and a soft van, which has a freezer and also a soft serve whippy machine for serving ice cream cones and screwballs. They are usually converted from factory standard vans with the rear cut away and replaced with a fibre glass body (to reduce the weight).
Because of the British climate, running an ice cream van profitably is not only very difficult outside summer, but is also an unpredictable business. A summer heatwave can provoke a massive upturn in fortunes for a few days, but after the weather has cooled sales drop off dramatically. The need to take advantage of rare and short-lived opportunities can result in fierce rivalry between ice cream vans in coterminous areas, with the main disputes being over who is entitled to sell ice cream in a particular 'patch'. This has also led to some ice cream van vendors diversifying and selling other products such as crisps, chips, burgers or hot dogs from their vehicles at other times of the year.
In a number of Local Authority areas, particularly in London Boroughs with existing street markets, street trading regulations prohibit ice cream vans from remaining in one static location. The legislation also contains powers to ban ice-cream vans from specific streets. Proposals in the current London Local Authorities Bill would allow only 15 minutes trading per vehicle per street each day. There also exists a nationwide code of practice for the use of chimes, which limits the volume to 80 dB and the duration to twelve seconds, but these are rarely observed nor enforced. Chimes must not be played more often than every three minutes, near hospitals, schools and churches when they are in use.
In Scotland, ice cream vans have been used to sell smuggled cigarettes and, in the 1980s Glasgow ice cream wars, as front organizations to sell illicit drugs

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNBYBX - One of the oldest buildings in the town is the Grade I listed Market Hall, built in 1627 by Sir Baptist Hicks in 1627 and still in use. The building was intended as a shelter for merchants and farmers selling their wares with the arched side walls open to allow light, and customers, to enter. There was a plan to sell the hall in the 1940s but locals raised funds to purchase the property and donated it to the National Trust.
Chipping Campden is a market town in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It is notable for its terraced High Street, dating from the 14th century to the 17th century. (Chipping is from Old English cēping, 'market', 'market-place'
the same element is found in other towns such as Chipping Norton, Chipping Sodbury and Chipping (now High) Wycombe.)
A wool trading centre in the Middle Ages, Chipping Campden enjoyed the patronage of wealthy wool merchants, most notably William Greville (d.1401). The High Street is lined with buildings built from locally quarried oolitic limestone known as Cotswold stone, and boasts a wealth of vernacular architecture. Much of the town centre is a conservation area which has helped to preserve the original buildings. The town is an end point of the Cotswold Way, a 102-mile long-distance footpath.
Chipping Campden has hosted its own Olympic Games since 1612.

Real Cyder has been made in the traditional way from our East Devon orchards at Clyst St Lawrence for at least the past 100 years that we know of. Looking at old maps of the local area it's probably much longer than that and the documented history of Devon Cyder extends to more like 300 - 400 years.
Whiteways Orchard Heritage
The famous Whiteways Devon Cyder Company were based 2 miles from us and for nearly a century, the orchards surrounding us were nurtured and used to make their Devon Cyder. Famously Whiteways exported thousands of gallons of Cyder to America during the post-prohibition era. In it's heyday the orchards at Whimple were known to be the most extensive in the world. Whiteway's closed in 1985 due to the decline in popularity and the factory land was sold of for housing. The orchards, including our own became redundant for many years but have now, thankfully found a new lease of life due to the renewed interest in Real Cyder.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DBHR7M - North Staffordshire oatcake shop where the mixture is cooked on a traditional baxton iron griddle, then filled with bacon, cheese, mushroom, tomatoes etc and a splash of sauce.
A North Staffordshire oatcake is a type of pancake made from oatmeal, flour and yeast. It is cooked on a griddle or 'baxton'. The oatcake is a local speciality in the North Staffordshire area of England. They are normally referred to as Staffordshire oatcakes or possibly Potteries oatcakes by non-locals, because they were made in this area. In and around Staffordshire and Cheshire they are often simply known as oatcakes.
Derbyshire oatcakes are similar to Staffordshire oatcakes, but while following a similar (or even the same) recipe are generally larger in diameter, and thicker. For example the same recipe will make four Derbyshire or twelve Staffordshire style oatcakes.
It was once common throughout the Potteries for oatcakes to be sold directly from the window of a house to customers on the street. The last producer in this style closed on the 25th of March 2012
however, there are many small commercial premises who sell oatcakes. Larger commercial enterprises exist that sell oatcakes to supermarkets and other large distribution chains.
Oatcakes can be a form of fast food. Catering outlets in the area usually offer oatcakes with fillings such as cheese, tomato, onion, bacon, sausage, and egg.
They can also be eaten with sweet fillings such as golden syrup, jam or banana, but this is less common and frowned upon by traditionalists. They are traditionally re-heated by steaming between two plates over a saucepan of water or nowadays by microwave, though some may prefer frying in butter or grilling.

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

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPF7K8 - Vintage illustrated advertising poster promoting Henley's Cyder with the headline Send More Henley's Cyder and the supporting slogan It's Delicious . The design features a glamorous young woman in the fashionable style of the 1920s, seated sideways on a red upholstered chair beside an ornate wooden table. She wears a pale peach or cream sleeveless dress with a loose skirt, elegant shoes and carefully styled short hair associated with the flapper era. Her pose is relaxed and theatrical, creating the polished aspirational image commonly used in early twentieth-century drinks advertising.
The woman holds a red telephone receiver to her ear, visually reinforcing the instruction to send more cider and turning the sales message into a playful domestic scene. On the table is a clearly displayed bottle of Henley's Cyder together with a stemmed glass containing a pale sparkling drink. The bottle, label and glass are positioned prominently so that the product remains central to the composition despite the striking female figure.
Deep red curtains, rich wooden furniture and warm orange lighting give the poster an opulent, intimate atmosphere. The large pale blue lettering contrasts strongly with the darker background, while the hand-painted illustration and flowing typography create a distinctive period appearance. The image reflects historic approaches to alcohol marketing, where glamour, sophistication and lifestyle imagery were used to associate cider drinking with pleasure, elegance and social status.
The poster is an example of vintage British commercial art and beverage advertising, with appeal for collectors of brewery and cider memorabilia, pub decoration, advertising ephemera, retro graphic design and Art Deco influenced illustration. It also provides a visual record of changing attitudes towards alcohol promotion, female representation, fashion and consumer culture during the interwar period.
