Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3NDH2 - . Gramps memorial spelled out in colourful flowers beside the Forth Bridge at South Queensferry, Scotland, UK. Photographed on 27 June 2026. The recorded location is South Queensferry, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. The personal tribute sits against railings overlooking the Firth of Forth, combining a private act of remembrance with a well-known Scottish landmark. Suitable for editorial use on memorials, flowers, bereavement, remembrance, South Queensferry and the Forth Bridge. Seen through ecclesiastical architecture, the earlier context is that churches combine worship with architecture, local memory and centuries of community past
Stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, Victorian restoration, local benefactors and family past. For transport infrastructure, the historical context is that major crossings can reshape travel patterns and regional economies by reducing journey times and creating more reliable routes
Older bridges often remain alongside newer structures, producing layered transport landscapes. Looking at local history, the longer history is that cemeteries and memorial landscapes are important sources for genealogy and social history
Headstones, monuments and inscriptions record family networks, occupations, religious traditions and evolving approaches to death and remembrance. The 2026 relevance of ecclesiastical architecture comes from the fact that historic places of worship remain important not only for faith but also for tourism, music, community use and local identity
Images of interiors, memorials and churchyards can support stories about conservation, heritage skills and the continuing reuse of sacred buildings. For transport infrastructure, the 2026 context is that bridge maintenance and resilience remain significant infrastructure issues as ageing structures face heavier traffic, weather extremes and rising inspection costs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKD7A2 - . Ortigia waterfront in Siracusa, Sicily, Italy, viewed across the harbour on a bright sunny day. Photographed on 25 April 2026. The recorded location is Ortigia, Siracusa, Sicily, Italy. Boats are moored beside the historic waterfront while pale stone and pastel-coloured buildings line the shore beneath a vivid blue Mediterranean sky. Ortigia forms the ancient heart of Syracuse and is known for its dense historic streets, waterfront promenades, Baroque architecture and archaeological heritage. The calm water and colourful urban backdrop create an attractive establishing image for travel features, cruise and boating stories, Sicilian tourism, coastal heritage and the relationship between the old city and its surrounding harbour. Within the history of harbour town, maritime gateways connect island and mainland economies, carrying residents, visitors, freight and vehicles while also supporting fishing, leisure craft and tourism
Older waterfront buildings often survive beside modern ferry infrastructure, making port landscapes unusually layered records of economic change. In relation to long-distance path, historical context shows that coastal safety information is shaped by local hazards such as currents, tides, mud, pollution or shipping, meaning signs can be important evidence of how a shoreline is managed. Against the 2026 backdrop for harbour town, current 2026 transport policy places increasing emphasis on integrated journeys, active travel and lower-emission fleets, so ferry terminals now sit within wider networks of rail, bus, cycling and electric-vehicle infrastructure rather than functioning as isolated ports. As of 2026, the position for long-distance path is that coastal access, erosion, water quality and climate resilience continue to be important issues around Britain
Long-distance walking routes increase visitor use while local authorities continue to manage safety and environmental pressures.

Statue of John Hunter, Tower Place, Leith
Governor of New South Wales (Australia) between 1795 and 1800. He was born in Leith (City of Edinburgh) the son of a ship-master. He was second-in-command on HMS Sirius to Arthur Phillip who founded the colony of New South Wales in 1788. Hunter is said to have governed the colony with sense, duty and humanity, but he was not liked by the Duke of Portland, who was Secretary of State, and issued an order recalling him to England in 1799. His conduct was later vindicated and he was awarded a generous pension. He was briefly given command of the warship Venerable, but after this ship was wrecked he finished his career at a desk. In 1807, he was promoted to Rear Admiral and, three years later, to Vice-Admiral.
He died in London, where he lies buried in Hackney Old Cemetery.

The location is 14 Albany St, Edinburgh, EH1 3QB. The picture is not just a record shot: it contains close-up metalwork, embossed lettering, patina, rust and wear that document everyday civic infrastructure. The Mackenzie and Moncur foundry mark is useful for industrial archaeology, Edinburgh street furniture, cast-iron manufacture and the unnoticed infrastructure underfoot in historic cities. 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 Foundry, Mackenzie & Moncur, Mackenzie, Moncur, Edinburgh, rusting, rusty, industry, manufacture, casting, harbour, Leith, 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. It also has a useful contemporary feel, because it shows how long-standing places, policies, products or institutions are encountered by ordinary people in daily life. Further SEO-friendly usage could include local services, town-centre change, heritage branding, British social history

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PM1FGW - U-turn on onshore windfarms likely after Tory rebellion - more at https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/nov/29/onshore-windfarm-restrictions-ministers-rebel
Ministers will make an announcement on a ban on onshore windfarms in the coming days, including potential tweaks to the levelling up bill, in the face of a growing rebellion by Conservative MPs.
The culture secretary, Michelle Donelan, gave the strongest hint yet that the government is preparing to lift the de facto onshore wind ban after the number of public rebels grew to 34 on Monday night.
The government all but confirmed on Monday that restrictions on onshore wind would be changed in the face of the revolt, led by the former levelling up secretary Simon Clarke and endorsed by Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, as well as the former chief whip Wendy Morton.
Donelan said changes were set to be announced by Michael Gove before the bill's return to parliament. The government is listening to colleagues around this amendment and I'm sure that there will be some announcements made by the levelling up secretary in the days to come, she told GB News.
Members from around the house put down amendments, including senior members of parliament, and then there are discussions between ministers and those members.
And there are tweaks sometimes made to bills, sometimes people stand their amendment down because they haven't realised the other elements of the legislation. It's all part of the legislative process.
The Guardian understands 34 MPs have signed the amendment, which would evaporate Sunak's majority because Labour will back Clarke's amendment, putting Sunak at risk of a Commons defeat.
Labour is also tabling a beefed-up amendment on onshore wind, highlighting the limitations of the Conservative rebel amendment. It would remove the onerous planning restrictions that effectively ban new onshore wind in England but also require local authorities to proactively identify opportunities for renewables, incl

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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD246R - Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. The town is on the Yorkshire Coast at the mouth of the River Esk. It has a maritime, mineral and tourist economy. The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship and, coincidentally, where his first vessel to explore the southern ocean, HMS Endeavour was built. Jet and alum were mined locally, and Whitby jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.
The earliest record of a permanent settlement is in 656 AD, when as Streanæshealh it was the place where Oswy, the Christian king of Northumbria, founded the first abbey, under the abbess Hilda. The Synod of Whitby was held there in 664 AD. In 867 AD, Viking raiders destroyed the monastery. The town's East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. Another monastery was founded in 1078 AD. It was in this period that the town gained its current name, Whitby (from white settlement in Old Norse). In the following centuries Whitby functioned as a fishing settlement until, in the 18th century, it developed as a port and centre for shipbuilding and whaling, the trade in locally mined alum, and the manufacture of Whitby jet jewellery. Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed with the arrival of the railway in 1839.
Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by the proximity of the high ground of the North York Moors national park and the heritage coastline and by association with the horror novel Dracula. The abbey ruin at the top of the East Cliff is the town's oldest and most prominent landmark. Other significant features include the swing bridge, which crosses the River Esk and the harbour, which is sheltered by the grade II listed East and West piers. The town's maritime heritage is commemorated by statues of

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K13HF7 - . Made at the recorded location in 2022, this photograph records a real place and moment, preserving details that may later be altered by redevelopment, rebranding, changing ownership or different public use. The main point of reference is Mersey Gateway Bridge, across the MSC (Manchester Ship Canal) and river Mersey, showing Fiddlers Ferry power station, Halton, Cheshire, UK. The setting additionally reflects local history, public realm, waterway conservation, rail transport history, industrial navigation, trackside history, canal transport, changing land use, towpath landscape, period detail, before-and-after reference, signal-box architecture, everyday life, and social history. Current relevance extends to volunteering and public access, particularly through how museum collections preserve working waterway history. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into signalling technology and heritage conservation, not least because of how Crewe's identity remains tied to railway engineering and operations. The image fixes transport arrangements and footfall within the recorded location at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against altered transport patterns. The subject also sits alongside rail infrastructure, place identity, documentary photography, industrial railway, community identity, regional identity, archival record, and historical comparison. Elements such as Manchester, Halton, river, showing, and across add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. For the recorded location, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. The wider significance includes volunteering and how museum collections preserve working waterway history within the specific setting of the recorded location. The frame retains details of everyday use within the wider story of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K13HFG - . An identifiable period record of the recorded location in 2022, retaining practical detail and local context that distinguish documentary photography from a generic illustration. The photograph centres on Mersey Gateway Bridge, across the MSC (Manchester Ship Canal) and river Mersey, showing Fiddlers Ferry power station, Halton, Cheshire, UK. The wider scene also brings together freight wagon, visual archive, archival record, community identity, regional identity, mechanical signalling, waterborne freight, before-and-after reference, boat museum collection, navigation engineering, working railway heritage, inland transport history, rail corridor, and station environment. The wider contemporary story combines biodiversity, funding and the transition from freight transport to leisure and heritage use. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with decarbonisation, rail reform and how Crewe's identity remains tied to railway engineering and operations. Small period details of street furniture and boundaries at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following changing commercial priorities. The location also brings in local history, inland navigation, industrial railway, rail infrastructure, industrial waterway history, historic rolling stock, historic narrowboat, and changing streetscape. The recorded references to Ferry, Fiddlers, Halton, Bridge, and power preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. A further contemporary connection is biodiversity and how museum collections preserve working waterway history as part of the longer story of the recorded location. The image fixes a trace of local identity within the wider story of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JDRN3W - .

The main point of reference is EWT single wind turbine,Gemini,M62,retail park,Warrington,built in Hoogland, Netherlands,generating clean electricity. The wider scene also brings together industrial archaeology, local character, regional identity, street-level documentary, urban social history, everyday life, social history, local identity, historical comparison, city-centre activity, documentary photography, urban change, factory heritage, and period detail. Today's relevance is strengthened by skills heritage, labour history and the continuing question of the reuse of former industrial land and buildings. From a 2025-onward perspective, regeneration and footfall are closely linked to this subject, alongside the documentary importance of recording everyday urban environments. Future viewers can use this scene from the recorded location to compare building condition and alterations with whatever follows after new ownership. The subject also sits alongside local history, historic freight equipment, working-industry history, former production site, townscape record, archival record, heavy-industry heritage, and contemporary social history. The recorded references to turbine, built, Netherlands, retail, and Gemini preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. A later view of the recorded location may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. Another strand within the photograph is skills heritage and the reuse of former industrial land and buildings when considered against later change at the recorded location. The period view preserves a point of historical comparison within the wider story of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JD0ME1 - As far back as 1252 there has been a townhouse on the Liverpool shore. Sir John Stanley pulled down the old house in 1406 and built the first Tower known as the Tower of Liverpool. This was used as an embarkation base for their property in the Isle of Man. The Tower stood at the shore end of Water Street.
Water street being one of the original seven streets of Liverpool was originally called ˜Bonke Street'. ˜Bonke' was Lancashire dialect for ˜bank' (taken from river bank). Through the years it became Bank Street and then eventually Water Street in 1520's.
During the 18th century the Tower of Liverpool, between Tower gardens and Stringers alley was the Jail of Liverpool. A large arch joined the Tower to the building on the other side of Tower Gardens and this building was used to house debtors and Criminals.
The Tower ceased being a jail on 3rd July 1811 when all the criminals were moved to the new jail in Great Howard Street. In 1877 two men convicted of robbery were executed in Water Street opposite the Old Tower.
By the end of the 18th century the Tower was in disrepair and was pulled down in 1819 to be replaced by warehouses.
In 1856 the warehouses gave way to the second Tower called Tower Buildings, a large Italianate office block by J. A. Picton. Unfortunately The Tower fell foul to the demands of commerce and was demolished in the early 20th century.
The present Tower Building, designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas was completed around 1908. Walter Aubrey Thomas is not to be confused with his contemporary, Walter W. Thomas, who designed the Philharmonic Dining Rooms , ˜The Phil' and The Vines, ˜The Big House'. It was possibly to avoid confusion that he always styled himself as W. Aubrey Thomas
During the air raids over Liverpool in 1941 Tower Building was badly bombed and several people were killed and injured. Check out the BBC site for the real life story.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AR6YK1 - In 1714 Greenock became a custom house port as a branch of Port Glasgow, and for a period this operated from rooms leased in Greenock. Receipts rose rapidly with the expansion of colonial trade, and in 1778 the custom house moved to new built premises at the West Quay of the harbour.
By 1791 a new pier was constructed at the East Quay. In 1812 Europe's first steamboat service was introduced by PS Comet with frequent sailings between Glasgow, Greenock and Helensburgh, and as trade built up the pier became known as Steamboat Quay. The custom house needed larger premises, and in May 1817 the foundation stone was laid at the quay for a Custom House building designed by William Burn, which was completed in 1818. Its gracious neoclassical architecture features a Grecian Doric portico looking out over the quayside, which was given the name Customhouse Quay. In 1828 the Custom House was praised as a grand National Structure in the highest style of elegance. By then there were scheduled steamboat sailings to Belfast, Londonderry, Liverpool, Inverness, Campbeltown, the Hebrides and all the principal places in the Highlands.
The Custom House underwent extensive refurbishment which was completed in 1989 and, until closure of the building in 2010, housed a customs and excise museum which was open to the public. In June 2008 HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) announced that the building would close in 2011 as part of a rationalisation project with any jobs being transferred to offices in Glasgow, and despite a campaign to oppose these plans, the building closed in August 2010.
Riverside Inverclyde arranged further refurbishment works, and in 2013 announced that space had already been let to companies including PG Paper Company Ltd and Toshiba which had planning permission to form meeting rooms and an executive office in the building. Greenock Telegraph estimated that £4.1 million has been spent over 5-year period for the renovation works

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1YF - Stornoway (Gaelic: Steòrnabhagh) is a town on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles) of Scotland.
The town's population is around 8,000, making it the largest town in the Hebrides, with a third of the population of the civil parish of Stornoway, which includes various nearby villages and has a population of approximately 12,000.
Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. It is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. Observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) has long been an aspect of the island's culture. Recent changes mean that Sunday on Lewis is now less different from Sunday on the other Western Isles or the mainland of Scotland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HFE7 - The JST takes both disabled and able-bodied men and women to sea, to not only teach them how to crew a tall ship, but to promote equality, sharing, and to celebrate our individual differences by working together to achieve greater things.
Since the JST was established in 1978 over 36,000 people have sailed with us. Of these approximately 12,500 people were disabled and 4,500 wheelchair users.
A trip with the JST changes the lives of disabled people as they suddenly realise that, far from being unable to join in with everybody else, they can do everything. I've seen people come home from a voyage and seem five feet taller “ the experience has completely changed the way they see themselves.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
John Martyn, OBE (who passed away 29th January 2009), was a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. Over a forty-year career he released twenty studio albums, working with artists such as Eric Clapton and David Gilmour. He has been described by The Times as 'an electrifying guitarist and singer whose music blurred the boundaries between folk, jazz, rock and blues.
This excellent track is from 'Solid Air', a folk jazz album released in 1973. Its a truly classic album and sounds as fresh as a chill-out album even today. 'Solid Air', the title track, was dedicated to a friend of Martyn's, Nick Drake. Drake died of an antidepressant overdose 18 months after the album was released.
Martyn said of the track 'Solid Air' 'It was done for a friend of mine, and it was done right with very clear motives, and I'm very pleased with it, for varying reasons. It has got a very simple message, but you'll have to work that one out for yourself.'

Leith is a suburb of Edinburgh where it meets the sea. It lies on the south shore of the Firth of Forth, Lothian, Scotland UK. Leith had electric street lighting from 1890, and electric trams from 1905 (only Blackpool was earlier in the UK). the trams are returning at great cost and more changes have improved teh Leith waterfront in recent years.
The Malmaison Hotel, beside the entrance to Leith Docks, at the Shore, Leith, shown here was formerly a sailors' home. 'The Sailors' Home used to provide accommodation for sailors whose ships were in port. The Home contained comfortable rooms for each rank, a canteen, a low cost clothing shop, recreational rooms and a chapel.
It was an innovation in social care at a time when many workers lived in overcrowded slums. The angel in the stonework above the door was an emblem for the seamen's mission. Much investment has been made to improve the area from The City of Edinburgh District Council, Forth Ports Authority and the Water of Leith Conservation Trust.
The statue to the left is of Sandy Irvine Robertson OBE, wine merchant, charity promoter, founder of Scottish Business Achievement Awards, once wrote of as 'one of those people who made life worth living. A bear of a man, standing six and a half feet tall, he had a heart the size of Scotland. He was mischievous, often outrageous, but never unkind, and those of us privileged to have known his friendship will be eternally grateful for it'. Praise indeed.
Leith is known for its port and red wine imports and I assume he was linked to 'Irvine Robertson Wines' who are located just up the road. After his premature death (Born: 11 August, 1942, in Stirling Died: 20 June, 1999, aged 56), his friends commissioned a bronze statue on the waterfront at Leith. It was sculpted by Lucy Poett. She studied under Cubilt Bevis at The Heatherley School of Art in London and with the late Scott Sutherland RSA in Dundee.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A track to enjoy with a drink in your hand or a bar of quality chocolate, this one.
The word 'morcheeba' is meant to indicate 'the way of cannabis'. This originated from 'MOR'(middle of the road) plus 'Cheeba' (informal name of cannabis).
Morcheeba mix pop, hip-hop, rock and electronica and are based in the UK. They have consisted of Paul &
Ross Godfrey, Skye Edwards and recently Daisy Martey, among many guests. Their debut album 'Who Can You Trust?' on China Records was released in April 1996.
This track comes from 'Big Calm' the second album which was more mainstream and pop-ey.
This is the best album to start with Morcheeba, if you check it out, tell 'em I sent you :-)

Ministers will make an announcement on a ban on onshore windfarms in the coming days, including potential tweaks to the levelling up bill, in the face of a growing rebellion by Conservative MPs.
The culture secretary, Michelle Donelan, gave the strongest hint yet that the government is preparing to lift the de facto onshore wind ban after the number of public rebels grew to 34 on Monday night.
The government all but confirmed on Monday that restrictions on onshore wind would be changed in the face of the revolt, led by the former levelling up secretary Simon Clarke and endorsed by Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, as well as the former chief whip Wendy Morton.
Donelan said changes were set to be announced by Michael Gove before the bill's return to parliament. The government is listening to colleagues around this amendment and I'm sure that there will be some announcements made by the levelling up secretary in the days to come, she told GB News.
Members from around the house put down amendments, including senior members of parliament, and then there are discussions between ministers and those members.
And there are tweaks sometimes made to bills, sometimes people stand their amendment down because they haven't realised the other elements of the legislation. It's all part of the legislative process.
The Guardian understands 34 MPs have signed the amendment, which would evaporate Sunak's majority because Labour will back Clarke's amendment, putting Sunak at risk of a Commons defeat.
Labour is also tabling a beefed-up amendment on onshore wind, highlighting the limitations of the Conservative rebel amendment. It would remove the onerous planning restrictions that effectively ban new onshore wind in England but also require local authorities to proactively identify opportunities for renewables, incl
