Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FCG6AR - . Brio branding and the slogan 'Move more, live better' identify Northwich Memorial Court, the town-centre leisure and entertainment complex on Chester Way. The facility combines public swimming pools, gym and fitness provision with a large performance and events hall, allowing the building to function as both a sports centre and a cultural venue. Brio Leisure operates leisure facilities on behalf of Cheshire West and Chester, and the branding links everyday exercise with wider public-health messages about physical activity, wellbeing and social participation. Memorial Court replaced older facilities and has become a recognisable part of the regenerated Northwich centre. Brio describes the venue as having two swimming pools, a 90-station gym, studios, spa facilities and a hall capable of seating around 500 people for concerts, comedy, shows, conferences and community events. In an era of financial pressure on local-authority leisure services, imagery of publicly accessible gyms and pools can also illustrate debates about preventative health, local government spending, community infrastructure and the cost of keeping municipal facilities open. Such everyday documentary photography is useful because it captures the lived townscape rather than a staged promotional view. Relevant search and editorial concepts include Northwich, Mid Cheshire, Cheshire West and Chester, town centre, Witton Street, River Weaver, salt town, regeneration, local history, public realm, high street, community, Cheshire. Useful descriptive vocabulary for archive discovery includes Brio, Memorial, Court, Northwich, leisure, centre, swimming, gym, fitness, Move, more, live, better, Cheshire, public, health, council, venue, sport, exercise, community, wellbeing. The image may be useful to picture editors seeking authentic North West or British context for features on community life, economic change, heritage, services and the evolving built environment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F0K3GE - . Escapade Silverstone trackside residences - Race weekend visitors walking beside Silverstone Circuit buildings in Northamptonshire, England, UK. Photographed on 3 July 2026. The recorded location is Silverstone Circuit, Towcester, Northamptonshire NN12 8TN, England, UK. Groups of motorsport fans move through the circuit complex in bright summer weather, with grandstand, hospitality or paddock-style structures visible alongside the pedestrian route. The busy walkway and casual clothing create an authentic fan perspective away from the racing action itself. Silverstone Circuit occupies a former Second World War RAF airfield and hosted the first Formula One World Championship race in 1950. It remains the home of the British Grand Prix and one of the UK's most important motorsport venues, combining historic track heritage with continually upgraded spectator, hospitality and safety infrastructure. The historical setting for motor racing is that motor racing venues combine sport with engineering, hospitality and large-scale event management
Circuit buildings, grandstands and temporary branding can change rapidly as safety standards, sponsorship and commercial expectations evolve. In the 2026 discussion of motor racing, silverstone remains the home of the British Grand Prix and a major year-round motorsport destination, while trackside hotels, hospitality and residential developments show how the circuit economy has expanded beyond race-day grandstands.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKNYFT - Large Everton Women promotional player banner standing beside historic Goodison Park on Goodison Road in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, as one of English football's most famous grounds begins a significant new chapter in the development of the women's game. The advertising shows three Everton Women players wearing club colours beside the landmark stadium, which opened in 1892 and served as Everton men's home for more than 130 years. After the men's first team moved to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium on Liverpool's waterfront, Goodison Park was retained rather than demolished and became the permanent home of Everton Women from the 2025/26 season, giving the Women's Super League team an exceptionally historic dedicated venue. Everton describes the move as part of its continuing commitment to the surrounding L4 community and to increasing opportunities for women and girls in football.
The transition comes during an extraordinary period for women's football in England. The Lionesses won UEFA Women's EURO 2022 and then successfully defended their European title at EURO 2025 in Switzerland, defeating world champions Spain on penalties after a 1-1 final in Basel. England consequently became only the second country to retain the Women's European Championship and the first senior England football team to win a major international tournament on foreign soil. Their success has strengthened the visibility and commercial appeal of the women's game, encouraged participation by women and girls and provided a powerful backdrop to investment in club football and the Women's Super League.
Goodison itself is a major piece of football history. Officially opened on 24 August 1892, it was regarded as one of England's finest purpose-built football grounds and staged the 1894 FA Cup Final. Its survival as a working stadium for Everton Women links more than a century of Everton heritage with the rapidly expanding modern women's game.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWKWJ - Construction of Wrexham AFC's new Kop Stand at the STōK Cae Ras, historically known as the Racecourse Ground, in Wrexham, North Wales. The photograph shows the emerging steel framework of the new grandstand rising behind black construction hoardings beside the stadium.
The perimeter fencing has been decorated with Wrexham AFC imagery and supporter artwork. A large monochrome portrait of a football fan appears alongside bold red and white graphics, while another panel depicts a supporter facing a crowd of raised red scarves. McLaren Construction branding identifies the main contractor delivering the redevelopment. The colourful hoardings connect the active building site with the club's identity, supporters and internationally recognised Welcome to Wrexham story.
The Populous-designed Kop is intended to replace the former standing terrace at the Crispin Lane end of the ground. The approved initial scheme provided 5,500 places, including safe-standing provision, with a subsequent proposal seeking to increase the stand to as many as 7,750 seats through an additional upper tier. This would take the overall stadium capacity to just over 18,000 and restore the Racecourse Ground to a fully enclosed, four-sided football venue.
The redevelopment is also intended to help the stadium achieve UEFA Category 4 standards, improving its ability to accommodate international football and other significant sporting events. Work includes structural steel, precast concrete terracing, roofing, external facades, internal accommodation and modern spectator facilities.
The new Kop forms part of wider investment in Wrexham's sporting infrastructure and public realm. The project reflects the rapid growth in interest surrounding the historic Welsh football club, increased matchday demand and ambitions to create a larger modern stadium while retaining the identity of the world's oldest international football ground still in use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ERX6F9 - . Wrexham AFC stadium redevelopment works for the new Kop stand at the STōK Cae Ras in Wrexham, Wales, UK. Photographed on 17 May 2026. The recorded location is STōK Cae Ras, Mold Road, Wrexham LL11 2AH, Wales, UK. Construction hoardings carry Welsh and English regeneration messaging while cranes and major structural works rise behind them at the historic Racecourse Ground. The visible works provide a clear documentary record of the stadium transformation in progress. Wrexham AFC, founded in 1864, is one of the oldest professional football clubs in the world. Its Racecourse Ground, now known as STōK Cae Ras, is recognised as the world's oldest international football stadium still hosting international matches. The club's global profile rose dramatically after its 2021 takeover by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. For professional sport, the historical context is that british sports venues often have histories extending far beyond their present-day appearance, with rebuilt stands, sponsorship names and safety standards reflecting the professionalisation and commercial growth of spectator sport. Looking at adaptive reuse, the longer history is that industrial buildings and machinery preserve the material history of manufacturing: steam power, engineering, mining, textiles, ceramics and mass production transformed both the economy and the physical character of towns
Surviving equipment is now studied as industrial archaeology. The background to industrial heritage is that industrial cranes transformed ports by mechanising the movement of heavy cargo from ship to quay
As containerisation changed dock work, many traditional cranes disappeared or became preserved landmarks within regenerated waterfronts. For professional sport, the 2026 context is that professional sport continues to be closely tied to broadcast rights, tourism, sponsorship and stadium redevelopment, while supporter experience, policing, ticket prices and transport continue to shape.

Stadium architecture and branding also change repeatedly as clubs modernise facilities. Seen through retro, the earlier context is that material culture includes the ordinary products people bought, used, collected or displayed
Small manufactured objects can reveal national identity, advertising, technology and popular taste in ways that formal records do not. For architectural history, the historical context is that the built environment is continually reused
Warehouses become apartments, stations become event spaces and commercial premises acquire new occupants, making older photographs particularly useful for tracing regeneration, demolition, conservation and adaptive reuse. In the 2026 discussion of club identity, professional sport remains closely tied to broadcast rights, tourism, sponsorship and stadium redevelopment, while supporter experience, policing, ticket prices and transport continue to shape matchday debate.

Photographed against the stadium setting, the sculpture provides a strong editorial image for Rangers history, Scottish football, management, supporters, sporting remembrance and the way major clubs commemorate influential figures.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJTD - A wide-angle view of the main public entrance to the Etihad Stadium in east Manchester, photographed in bright summer daylight under a blue sky with scattered cloud. The Manchester City club crest is embedded in the forecourt, forming a strong visual focal point that reinforces the stadium's identity and sense of place.
The Etihad Stadium has been Manchester City's home since 2003 and sits at the heart of the wider Etihad Campus, a large-scale sports-led regeneration area developed on former industrial land. Originally built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, the stadium was subsequently adapted for football use and has since become one of the most recognisable sporting venues in the UK.
Manchester City Football Club's recent domestic and European success has elevated the stadium to global prominence, with the surrounding campus now incorporating training facilities, community sports spaces and commercial development. The architecture and branding visible here reflect the club's modern, international profile while remaining rooted in east Manchester.
The image is well suited for editorial use covering Premier League football, elite sport infrastructure, football club identity, urban regeneration, sports branding, and the role of major stadiums in reshaping post-industrial city districts.

St Marys GAA mural showing a Gaelic games player and wording celebrating local sporting identity and representation of Kerry. The painted wall artwork is suitable for editorial use on Gaelic Athletic Association culture, Gaelic football, Irish sport, community clubs, local pride, public murals and sporting heritage in County Kerry. The background to sculpture is that public art turns streets and buildings into records of local culture
Murals, statues and memorial sculpture can commemorate people and events, celebrate industry, respond to politics or simply enliven public space, while materials and style often identify a particular era. Within the history of minority language, gaelic declined sharply through historical social and economic pressures but remained strong in parts of the Highlands and Islands
Twentieth- and twenty-first-century revival measures increased its use in education, broadcasting, public signage and official services. In relation to football history, historical context shows that british sports venues often have histories extending far beyond their present-day appearance, with rebuilt stands, sponsorship names and safety standards reflecting the professionalisation and commercial growth of spectator sport. Current 2026 context around sculpture is that public art is closely connected with regeneration, tourism, identity and debate about representation
Murals and sculptures can become visitor landmarks while also prompting discussion about whose past is visible in public space. Against the 2026 backdrop for minority language, current Scottish language policy continues to encourage the normalisation of Gaelic in public life, particularly in areas with strong historical links to the language
Bilingual signs therefore have contemporary relevance beyond their.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EDM01A - Bronze statue of Scottish boxing legend Ken Buchanan MBE on Little King Street near St James Quarter in central Edinburgh. The life-size sculpture shows Buchanan in a guarded fighting stance, wearing boxing gloves and detailed championship shorts, with the modern stone and glass buildings of the redeveloped city centre behind. The work was created by Scottish sculptor Alan Herriot, cast by Powderhall Bronze and unveiled on 14 August 2022. It was commissioned by the Ken Buchanan MBE Foundation after a long public fundraising campaign to secure a permanent memorial to one of Scotland's greatest sporting figures.
Born in Edinburgh on 28 June 1945, Buchanan became a major international boxing star during a professional career lasting from 1965 to 1982. He defeated Ismael Laguna in Puerto Rico in September 1970 to win the World Boxing Association lightweight title, then beat Ruben Navarro in Los Angeles in February 1971 to add the World Boxing Council crown and become undisputed world lightweight champion. Known for exceptional footwork, timing, stamina and technical skill, he later regained the British title, won the European championship and fought leading opponents including Roberto Duran. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2000 and the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame in 2002.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFEFY1 - . Liverpool FC European Cup Final Rome 1984, England, UK. Photographed on 25 September 2023. Looking at stadium, the longer history is that football and major sporting events leave a rich material record through flags, tickets, souvenirs, programmes and venue signage
International tournaments in particular can turn everyday objects into historical evidence of national sporting culture. In 2026, stadium remains relevant because sporting imagery has relevance beyond results, illustrating club identity, fan culture, major-event economics, venue investment and the role of sport in local regeneration. Other strongly related concepts include football club, supporters, matchday, sporting heritage, sports venue, professional sport, football history, major event, sports tourism, supporter culture, stadium architecture, sports memorabilia, IMG_1474, heritage, fans, and memorabilia. The background to matchday is that sporting grounds, club colours and event memorabilia become part of local identity as generations of supporters associate particular streets, gates and stands with matchday ritual
Stadium architecture and branding also change repeatedly as clubs modernise facilities. Within the history of sports venue, football and major sporting events leave a rich material record through flags, tickets, souvenirs, programmes and venue signage
International tournaments in particular can turn everyday objects into historical evidence of national sporting culture. In relation to major event, historical context shows that british sports venues often have histories extending far beyond their current appearance, with rebuilt stands, sponsorship names and safety standards reflecting the professionalisation and commercial growth of spectator sport. Against the 2026 backdrop for sports venue, sporting imagery has relevance beyond results, illustrating club identity, fan culture, major-event economics, venue investment and the role of sport in local regeneration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFHRR1 - Vintage Subbuteo advertising artwork showing a green product box beside a black and white football match illustration, with a goalkeeper saving at the feet of an attacking player and the slogan Just flick to kick! The design promotes Subbuteo, the classic tabletop football game in which miniature players are flicked across a cloth pitch to pass, shoot, defend and score. The wording New for added realism and Subbuteo incorporating five-a-side gives the image strong relevance for collectors, toy historians, football nostalgia, retro advertising and British popular culture. Subbuteo was created by Peter Adolph in the 1940s, with early sets using simple goals, a ball and flat cardboard players on weighted bases, before the game became a fixture of British childhoods, bedrooms, clubs and Christmas presents. This image captures the graphic language of mid twentieth century toy promotion: limited colours, dramatic action, simplified footballers, sharp typography and a small model figure suggesting how the game worked. The green box panel, referee figure, goalkeeper pose, stylised crowd and printed football scene evoke a pre-digital era when sporting imagination was built around hands-on skill, dexterity, patience and tabletop tactics. The advert is commercially useful for editorial features on Subbuteo collecting, vintage football toys, retro board games, tabletop games, football memorabilia, toy packaging, British design, childhood nostalgia, model footballers, sports marketing and the appeal of football away from the stadium. It also suits stories about analogue play before video games, the survival of classic toy brands, football fandom in domestic spaces, and collector interest in boxed Subbuteo sets, accessories, teams, pitches and advertising ephemera. Visible text includes NEW , for added realism , JUST FLICK TO KICK! , BY SUBBUTEO and incorporating five-a-side , all useful for picture researchers seeking authentic vintage Subbuteo material.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M95ND2 - Darts or dart-throwing is a competitive sport in which two or more players bare-handedly throw small sharp-pointed missiles known as darts at a round target known as a dartboard
The standard numbered point system is attributed to Lancashire carpenter Brian Gamlin, who devised it in 1896 to penalise inaccuracy, though this is disputed. Many configurations have been used, varying by time and location. In particular, the Yorkshire and Manchester Log End boards differ from the standard board in that they have no triple, only double and bullseye. The Manchester board is smaller than the standard, with a playing area of only 25 cm (9.8 in) across, with double and bull areas measuring just 4 mm (0.16 in). The London Fives board is another variation, with only 12 equal segments, with the doubles and trebles being a quarter of an inch (6.35 mm) wide.
Mathematically, removing the rotational symmetry by placing the 20 at the top, there are 19!, or 121,645,100,408,832,000 possible dartboards. Many different layouts would penalise a player more than the current setup
however, the current setup actually does the job rather efficiently. There have been several mathematical papers published that consider the optimal dartboard.
Before World War I, pubs in the United Kingdom had dartboards made from solid blocks of wood, usually elm. But darts pocked the surface of elm such that it was common for a hole to develop around the treble twenty. The other problem was that elm wood needed periodic soaking to keep the wood soft.
In 1935, chemist Ted Leggatt and pub owner Frank Dabbs began using the century plant, a type of agave, to make dartboards. Small bundles of sisal fibres of the same length were bundled together. The bundles were then compressed into a disk and bound with a metal ring. This new dartboard was an instant success. It was more durable and required little maintenance. Furthermore, darts did little or no damage to the board
they simply parted the packed fibres whe

The term barra is Glaswegian dialect for barrow, relating to the market's early years, where traders sold their wares from handcarts. Barrowland is sometimes used to describe the district itself where the market is located, which is actually officially known as Calton.
Because of its location on Gallowgate the main thoroughfare from the city centre to Parkhead and Celtic Park, Barrowlands is also notable for its large concentration of public houses and shops devoted to fans of Celtic Football Club. Baird's Bar was one of the best known Celtic-oriented pubs next door to the Barrowland Ballroom building, the bar has since closed down due to violent incidents that have occurred in the premises. The bar is to be reopened as a furniture store.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MG40J2 - Angling is a fishing technique that uses a fish hook or angle (from Old English angol) attached to a fishing line to tether individual fish in the mouth. The fishing line is usually manipulated via a fishing rod, although rodless techniques such as handlining and longlining also exist. Modern angling rods are usually fitted with a reel that functions as a cranking device for storing, retrieving and releasing out the line, although Tenkara fishing and cane pole fishing are two rod-angling methods that do not use any reel. The hook itself can be additionally weighted with a dense tackle called a sinker, and is typically dressed with an appetizing bait to attract the fish and enticing it into swallowing the hook, but sometimes an inedible fake bait with multiple attached hooks (known as a lure) is used instead of a single hook with edible bait. A bite indicator, such as a float or a quiver tip, is often used to relay underwater status of the hook to the surface.
When angling, the fisherman (known as the angler) will first throw the hook (i.e. cast) to a chosen area of water, and then patiently wait for fish to attack and eat the hookbait. It is also not uncommon for the angler to scatter some loose bait (groundbait) around the spot before even casting the hook, in order to better attract fish with scents. If a fish has succumbed to its own feeding instinct and swallowed the hook (i.e. bite or strike), the hook point will pierce into and anchor itself inside the fish mouth, gullet or gill, and the fish in turn becomes firmly tethered to the fishing rod via the fishing line. Once the fish is hooked (often colloquially called fish-on), any struggles and attempts to escape will pull along the line, causing the bite indicator to signal the angler, who jerks the rod to further secure the hook anchorage (i.e. setting the hook) and then tries to retrieve the line back, pulling the fish closer in the process.

A five-time Formula One World Champion, he is often considered the best driver of his generation and widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport. He won his first World Championship title with McLaren in 2008, then moved to Mercedes where he won back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015 before winning back-to-back titles again in 2017 and 2018. The most successful British driver in the history of the sport, Hamilton has more World Championship titles (5) and more race victories (80) than any other British driver in Formula One. He also holds records for the all-time most career points (3,241), the most wins at different circuits, the all-time most pole positions (86) and the most grand slams in a season (3).
Born and raised in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Hamilton's interest in racing started when his father bought him a radio-controlled car when he was six. He was signed to McLaren's young driver support programme in 1998, after he approached McLaren team principal Ron Dennis at an awards ceremony three years earlier and said one day I want to be racing your cars. After winning the British Formula Renault, Formula 3 Euro Series, and GP2 championships on his way up the racing career ladder, he made his Formula One debut twelve years after his initial encounter with Dennis, driving for McLaren in 2007. Coming from a mixed background, with a black father and white mother, Hamilton is the first and only black driver to race in Formula One

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGENE - The National Football Museum is England's national museum of football. It is based in the Urbis building in Manchester city centre, and preserves, conserves and displays important collections of football memorabilia.
The museum was originally based in Deepdale, Preston, Lancashire, but moved to Manchester in 2012.
The idea for what became the National Football Museum goes back to 1994 when Baxi Partnership, a local company, acquired Preston North End Football Club (PNE) and began the redevelopment of Deepdale Stadium. A chance conversation between Bryan Gray, Chairman of PNE, and the Football League, led to a meeting with Harry Langton, the man who over thirty years put together what is now called the FIFA Museum Collection. FIFA recognised the importance of the collection and acquired it from Harry Langton with a view to finding a permanent home. FIFA saw the proposed museum at Preston as an ideal permanent location for the FIFA Museum Collection.
Urbis closed in February 2010 in preparation for an intended opening of the new National Football Museum in summer 2011.[18]
The museum reopened in Manchester on 6 July 2012. The new museum aimed to attract 350,000 visitors per year. It was reported in August 2012 that the new National Football Museum attracted over 100,000 visitors in the first six weeks of opening. By the end of April 2013, the museum reached its 350,000 target, and was attracting 500,000 visitors by 2017. From January 2019, the museum adopted a charging model, while remaining free to city of Manchester residents.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6NA - Take a Look Inside Overthrow Boxing, Where Celebs Like Usher and J-Lo Train
There is a crowd gathering outside the door of 9 Bleecker Street, the gritty downtown headquarters of Overthrow Boxing.
Passersby slow their pace and turn their heads towards the pulsating hip-hop that blares out Overthrow's doors and onto the sidewalk. Through its ground floor windows, and past an aggressive neon red sign, a few dozen young women chat excitedly as they wrap their hands before squeezing into boxing gloves.
Further back another class is still in session, with the participants jabbing ferociously at shared punching bags as an instructor screams down from a ring set alongside an exposed brick wall.
On any given night, a peek through these same steamed-up windows could result in a story-worthy sighting of Nina Agdal, Usher, Martha Hunt, Jennifer Lopez, the Fat Jewish or Will Smith.
This is exactly what Overthrow founder Joey Goodwin had in mind when he started the gym two years ago. I wanted to create an atmosphere that drew you in, he says. Everyone on the outside is trying to get a better look, wishing they were a part of the action.
Atisha Paulson
The phenomenon was one that Goodwin observed while on the iconic West 4th basketball courts, where he started balling at the age of 10.
There he was introduced to the sport of boxing through a fellow player.
I think he saw me run my mouth and get beaten up too many times, remembers Goodwin, leaning back in his office on the gym's second floor. He took me to East River Park and taught me a few moves. I was hooked immediately.
Enrolling in a local boxing gym, the street-wise Goodwin immediately spotted an opportunity for growth. The room was filled CEOs, models, editors and entrepreneurs, he says. I began to see the potential that could come with creating a real boxing brand, done in the style of SoulCycle or Barry's Bootcamp.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PC2FCA - Grappenhall Cricket Club played its first game in 1881 on a ground in Bellhouse Lane. The club moved to its current home of Broad Lane in 1892 with a new clubhouse. There have been several new clubhouses built on the existing site with the most recent developments coming in the late 1980's with significant improvements to the facilities in 2011.
In the early days the club played a number of friendly matches. Grappers then played regular fixtures up to the 2nd World War. In 1939, before war broke out, Grappers were founder members of the North Cheshire League but the league was stopped at the start of the war and was never resumed.
From the 1960's onwards GCC were members of the Manchester Association which was the prelude to the clubs most successful period.
The 70's & 80's the golden years
In 1981, after a couple of good seasons following promotion to the top division in the late 70's, the 1st XI won the top flight for the first time. One of Grappenhall's best teams, it included some famous Grappers names such as Duncan Martindale, Rick Houghton, Chris Ashton, Neil Titchard, Jim Green, Nick Sharp and a young Neil Fairbrother, only a few years before he headed off for big things with Lancashire and England.
In 1982, the 1st XI went one better, this time winning the league and cup double with the HC Cup Final being one of a number of appearances the club mate at Old Trafford in the 80's.
The double was repeated in 1987 with another appearance at Old Trafford, this time with the team including another future Lancashire star and future Grappers captain in Steve Titchard. In the same season, the 2nd XI also tasted success by winning the Worthington Cup.
There were a number of other cup successes for the club during this period for the different senior and junior teams, with many a memorable game taking place and the tales still being regaled today.
In 1992, the club were in their last season in Manchester Association before a move to the CCCL

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4662183553 - 'Often the premise of the back of working mens clubs in Britain (and many other countries), Bowls is a game in which the goal is to roll slightly asymmetric balls, called bowls, so that they stop close to a smaller\u2014normally white\u2014bowl called the 'jack' or 'kitty'. It is related to french boules and goes back to the 13th century. These days in pubs across the land, ex-sunday league pub footballers, quite often go out to grass on the crown green.
Bowls, can be either flat- or crown-green, is usually played outdoors, tradionally on grass and synthetic surfaces. To escape british winter, flat-green bowls can also be played indoors on synthetic surfaces. When national and international matches are televised, this is usually the surface used. Around \u00a3100,000 in prizes are available in annual competition and has been watched by up to 3 million viewers on the BBC.
The world's oldest surviving bowling green is said to be the Southampton Old Bowling Green, which was first used in 1299. The worlds longest surviving bowler may be much older, maybe the sport keeps them young (!).
Bowling has a colourful history and was banned in the time of Richard II, when it was thought it may deminsh archery, important for battle. By a further act of 1541 - which was not repealed until 1845 - artificers, labourers, apprentices, servants and the like were forbidden to play bowls at any time except Christmas, and then only in their master's house and presence. It was further enjoined that any one playing bowls outside his own garden or orchard was liable to a penalty of 6s. 8d., while those possessed of lands of the yearly value of \u00a3100 might obtain licences to play on their own private greens.
Many British pubs today are named 'The Bowling Green' and indeed, have a well manicured one to the rear.
In 1864 William Wallace Mitchell (1803-1884), a Glasgow Cotton Merchant, published his 'Manual of Bowls Playing' following his work as the secretary formed in 1849 by Scottish bowling clubs which became the basis of the rules of the modern game. Young Mitchell was only 11 when he played on Kilmarnock Bowling green, the oldest club in Scotland, instituted in 1740.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EBFWGE - . England v Australia Rugby Scrum at Twickenham, London, England, UK. Photographed at Twickenham, London, England UK. The photograph was taken on 29 November 2014. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with English Rugby at Twickenham, London, pitch, stadium, RFU, championship, ticket, hospitality, team and sport, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The photograph is relevant to homes, residential streets, domestic architecture and the everyday details that shape the appearance of British housing. It can support editorial features about housing, addresses, front doors, neighbourhood identity, home ownership, renting, property condition, postal delivery, security and suburban or urban streets. Doors, windows, numbers, letterboxes, gardens, walls and other domestic details can provide a recognisable visual shorthand for home and residence without relying on a staged interior. As a dated record, the image can also be useful for local history and later comparison as properties are altered, refurbished or redeveloped. Search themes include housing, homes, front doors, addresses, letterboxes, house numbers, residential streets, property, neighbourhoods, renting and home ownership. Small domestic details can become useful archive evidence when properties are refurbished, altered, renumbered or redeveloped. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. It can be used in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, documentaries, heritage projects and retrospective features where geographical accuracy and period detail matter.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PC2FN9 - Grappenhall Cricket Club played its first game in 1881 on a ground in Bellhouse Lane. The club moved to its current home of Broad Lane in 1892 with a new clubhouse. There have been several new clubhouses built on the existing site with the most recent developments coming in the late 1980's with significant improvements to the facilities in 2011.
In the early days the club played a number of friendly matches. Grappers then played regular fixtures up to the 2nd World War. In 1939, before war broke out, Grappers were founder members of the North Cheshire League but the league was stopped at the start of the war and was never resumed.
From the 1960's onwards GCC were members of the Manchester Association which was the prelude to the clubs most successful period.
The 70's & 80's the golden years
In 1981, after a couple of good seasons following promotion to the top division in the late 70's, the 1st XI won the top flight for the first time. One of Grappenhall's best teams, it included some famous Grappers names such as Duncan Martindale, Rick Houghton, Chris Ashton, Neil Titchard, Jim Green, Nick Sharp and a young Neil Fairbrother, only a few years before he headed off for big things with Lancashire and England.
In 1982, the 1st XI went one better, this time winning the league and cup double with the HC Cup Final being one of a number of appearances the club mate at Old Trafford in the 80's.
The double was repeated in 1987 with another appearance at Old Trafford, this time with the team including another future Lancashire star and future Grappers captain in Steve Titchard. In the same season, the 2nd XI also tasted success by winning the Worthington Cup.
There were a number of other cup successes for the club during this period for the different senior and junior teams, with many a memorable game taking place and the tales still being regaled today.
In 1992, the club were in their last season in Manchester Association before a move to the CCCL

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DAPGXM - View of the ornate royal blue and gold entrance gates at Everton Football Club's Goodison Park stadium on Goodison Road in Walton, Liverpool. The metalwork displays the club initials EFC, the foundation year 1878 and Everton's Latin motto, Nil Satis Nisi Optimum , meaning nothing but the best is good enough. Seen beneath a cloudy sky, the gates form one of the most recognisable exterior features of the historic Merseyside football ground and reflect the club's traditional colours, identity and long association with the surrounding community.
The image has added contemporary political relevance following Andy Burnham becoming the Labour Prime Minister in July 2026. Burnham is a lifelong Everton supporter and season-ticket holder whose attachment to the club has frequently formed part of his public identity. His elevation to Downing Street links one of Britain's most prominent political offices with Everton's fan culture and provides an editorial illustration for stories about politicians' sporting loyalties, football and politics, regional identity, supporter representation and the relationship between public figures and their clubs.
Goodison Park opened in 1892 and was Everton men's home for more than 130 years, earning the nickname the Grand Old Lady. The men's first team moved to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock after the 202425 season. Goodison subsequently became the home ground of Everton Women, allowing the historic stadium and its famous entrance to remain part of active professional football. The gates therefore represent both Everton's heritage and the changing use of a landmark ground closely associated with generations of supporters in Liverpool and beyond.
