Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EF6BBH - Wide exterior view of Old Trafford, the Manchester United football stadium on Sir Matt Busby Way in Trafford, Greater Manchester, with a large red Welcome to Old Trafford sign across the glass-fronted entrance. The image shows the scale and recognisable architecture of one of the best known football grounds in Britain, with red and white cladding, structural roof supports, broad paved approaches and the stadium facade rising into a bright blue sky. Old Trafford has been Manchester United's home since 1910 and is widely known by the nickname the Theatre of Dreams, making it a strong editorial subject for football, sport, tourism, stadium architecture and Manchester identity. The photograph is useful for stories about Manchester United, Premier League football, matchday crowds, stadium tours, football heritage, sports business, broadcasting, international visitors, fan culture, ticketing, club ownership, redevelopment and the continuing debate over the future of the ground. The absence of crowds gives the scene a clean stadium exterior view suitable for general stock use, while the welcome sign, entrance area and open concourse clearly identify the venue without relying on match action. The weather appears dry and bright, with strong daylight, sharp shadows and a clear sky, suggesting a calm daytime visit rather than a matchday crush. Old Trafford sits in the Old Trafford area of Trafford, close to Salford Quays, Trafford Wharf and the wider Manchester urban area, and the stadium is a major landmark for visitors to the city region. The image can also illustrate wider themes around football tourism, major events, urban regeneration, transport around sports venues, stadium capacity, crowd management, football finance, club branding and the global reach of English football. It is a useful documentary image of Manchester United's home ground, showing the public entrance and welcoming message seen by supporters, tourists and visiting fans.

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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FMM9KM - Sunset falls across the Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington, Cheshire, home of Warrington Wolves rugby league club, with the Wolves crest and illuminated stadium lettering prominent on the exterior facade. The image has particular editorial relevance following the 2026 Betfred Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford, Manchester, on 3 October, when Wakefield Trinity defeated Warrington Wolves 23-10 to become Super League champions for the first time. Wakefield established a commanding 19-0 half-time lead through tries from Cameron Scott, Isaiah Vagana and Jazz Tevaga, with Jack Sinfield adding a drop goal. Warrington responded after the break as Arron Lindop scored twice, but a Tom Johnstone try helped Trinity secure the title, with Johnstone receiving the Rob Burrow Award. The defeat ended Warrington's 2026 campaign and extended the club's wait for a first Super League championship. It was Wolves' first appearance at Old Trafford since the 2018 Grand Final and followed play-off victories over Hull KR and Leeds Rhinos. Wakefield's success completed a remarkable rise after relegation in 2023 and promotion back to Super League for 2025. Against that backdrop, the fading evening light over Warrington's home ground provides a visual metaphor for the end of another title challenge and the disappointment of supporters returning from Manchester without the trophy. Opened in 2004, the Halliwell Jones Stadium is a prominent landmark close to Warrington town centre and an important focus for rugby league in Cheshire and North West England. The photograph combines identifiable club branding, stadium architecture and sunset light with a timely editorial connection to the Grand Final result, Warrington's continuing pursuit of the Super League title and Wakefield Trinity's historic championship victory.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FA7X85 - . Rangers FC Ibrox Stadium red-brick Main Stand exterior in Glasgow. Photographed on 17 August 2025. The recorded location is Ibrox, Glasgow, Scotland, UK. The club's name and architectural details are prominent against a clear sky. This image documents the physical identity of Ibrox and can illustrate Rangers FC, Scottish football, stadium architecture, heritage conservation, sporting venues, supporters and the business and cultural importance of a major football ground. In relation to club identity, historical context shows 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. As of 2026, the position for club identity is that 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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FA7XAE - . Rangers FC Argyle House offices beside Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow. Photographed on 17 August 2025. The recorded location is Ibrox, Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Club branding and the Rangers crest identify the administrative building associated with the football club. This contemporary exterior provides editorial context for club management, football administration, Rangers FC, Ibrox, Scottish sport, stadium operations and the business infrastructure behind a major professional football organisation. The background to sports tourism 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. Within the history of building conservation, architecture records the priorities of the period in which a structure was designed: materials, ornament, scale and planning reveal technology, status and intended use
Later alterations, extensions and new tenants add further layers, so a single façade can embody several phases of local past. Current 2026 context around sports tourism 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 matchday debate. Against the 2026 backdrop for building conservation, current planning debates place growing emphasis on housing delivery, retrofit, accessibility and the reuse of brownfield sites
Architectural photographs therefore connect design past with present-day questions about regeneration, sustainability and urban density.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E422R6 - Wirral Rowing Centre with rows of oars outside. Photographed on 4 May 2019. For present-day sports venue, 2026 is significant 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.

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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKNYMN - . Everton Womens EFC stadium entrance and blue club branding in Liverpool, England, UK. Photographed on 30 May 2026. The recorded location is Walton Hall Park, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK. The photograph shows a large blue Everton facade and gated entrance carrying club crests and women's-team branding, creating a clear establishing image for Everton's women's football operation. The strong Everton blue colour and prominent crest make the venue immediately identifiable, while the largely empty frontage provides a clean architectural view. It is useful for stories about the development of the women's game, club investment, match venues, supporter growth and the increasing commercial and sporting profile of women's football in England. For the story of supporters, it is useful to note 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. The historical setting for memorabilia is that everyday objects often become better historical evidence with age because packaging, typography, materials and branding change more rapidly than their basic function
Souvenirs, games and household items can therefore date consumer culture very precisely. Seen through regeneration, the earlier context is that residential architecture is closely tied to planning and social change
Post-war estates, high-rise blocks, gated developments and city-centre apartments reveal assumptions about land values, transport, security and the relationship between private and public space. For present-day supporters, 2026 is significant 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. Its associated themes also include professional sport, football history, and major event.

The recorded location is Walton Hall Park, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK. The large blue club-branded wall carries prominent EVERTON WOMEN lettering and Everton crests, identifying the venue associated with Everton FC's women's team. The upward perspective emphasises the scale of the blue signage and gives the image a strong graphic quality. It can illustrate stories about the growth of women's football, investment in women's teams, attendances, training and match facilities, supporter culture and the increasing visibility of elite women's sport in the UK. In relation to public information, historical context shows that wayfinding developed from painted names and fingerposts into standardised road, rail and public-information systems
Local signs still retain distinctive typography or bilingual wording even within increasingly consistent national standards. For the story of matchday, it is useful to note 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. The historical setting for affordable housing is that housing photographs document evolving ideas about density, tenure, architecture and neighbourhood design
Tower blocks, suburban estates, converted industrial buildings and private apartment schemes each represent different responses to demand for homes in particular periods. As of 2026, the position for public information is that digital maps and smartphone navigation are ubiquitous, but physical signage remains essential for safety, accessibility, legal restrictions and visitors without reliable connectivity. Further relevant terminology includes major event, sports tourism, supporter culture, and stadium architecture.

The recorded location is Manchester city centre, Greater Manchester, England, UK. The artwork depicts two figures from behind wearing red Manchester United and blue Manchester City shirts, representing Kobbie Mainoo and Phil Foden and the city's famous football rivalry. The simple red-versus-blue composition provides an immediately recognisable visual reference to the two major Manchester clubs and can illustrate stories about local football rivalry, England players, fan culture, derby matches, football tourism and the way sporting identity is represented through public and commercial artwork. Within the history of sculpture, 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. In relation to club identity, historical context shows 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. Against the 2026 backdrop for sculpture, contemporary street art continues to blur the line between unofficial expression, commissioned mural and tourist attraction
Images are therefore relevant to urban culture, creative industries, heritage interpretation and place-making. As of 2026, the position for club identity is that 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. Further subject-specific language includes cultural identity, visual culture, and community art.

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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ERX6FM - . Wrexham AFC ticket office at the STōK Cae Ras Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, Wales, UK. Photographed on 17 May 2026. The recorded location is STōK Cae Ras, Mold Road, Wrexham LL11 2AH, Wales, UK. The small dark-painted entrance carries club branding and ticket-office signage beside the stadium exterior. The straightforward exterior view documents an everyday supporter-facing part of the famous stadium rather than the pitch or stands. 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. The historical setting for club identity 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. 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 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 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 3E8PTXE - Handwritten chalkboard advertises an £18 full English breakfast and a £28 Breakfast of Champions at Silverstone Woodlands campsite during the British Formula One Grand Prix weekend in July. The sign stands on dry summer grass outside The Ox pub and restaurant marquee, with picnic benches, temporary catering structures and colourful event decoration visible behind it. The informal scene captures the high prices that visitors can encounter for food and drink at major sporting events, especially when staying for several days at a busy race-weekend campsite.
Silverstone Woodlands is located beside Silverstone Circuit near Gates 14 and 15 at Club Corner. It provides tent pitches, campervan spaces, pre-pitched tents and glamping for Formula One spectators, together with bars, food traders, entertainment and other temporary facilities. During the Grand Prix, thousands of fans stay close to the circuit so they can walk to the track and continue socialising after the racing has finished.
The £28 breakfast offer provides a striking example of event pricing and the wider cost of attending Formula One. Beyond race tickets, visitors may pay for camping, travel, parking, food, drinks and entertainment across a long weekend. Caterers operating temporary venues also face staffing, transport, equipment, refrigeration, licensing, power, waste and supply costs, although customers may still regard £28 for breakfast as unusually expensive.
This documentary image is useful for editorial themes involving Formula One tourism, inflation, hospitality pricing, cost-of-living pressures, festival food, campsite catering, consumer spending and the commercial economy surrounding major sports events. The chalk lettering, weathered grass and temporary marquee give the photograph an authentic race-camping atmosphere, while the phrase Breakfast of Champions playfully links a substantial morning meal with elite motor racing and the celebratory culture of the British Grand Prix.

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.
Buchanan attended the statue's unveiling, less than a year before his death on 1 April 2023 aged 77. The monument records his importance to Edinburgh, Scottish boxing and international sport, while the close view emphasises the bronze modelling of his face, gloves, belt and athletic stance. This editorial image is suitable for themes involving public art, boxing heritage, sporting memorials, Scottish identity, Edinburgh tourism, world champions and the commemoration of working-class sporting achievement. The dramatic low viewpoint also gives the figure a strong physical presence, presenting Buchanan as alert, resilient and ready to compete

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.

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.

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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy W42N8R - Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton MBE (born 7 January 1985) is a British racing driver who races in Formula One for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport. 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

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.

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 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 RPGERJ - The 2002 Commonwealth Games, officially known as the XVII Commonwealth Games and commonly known as Manchester 2002 were held in Manchester, England, from 25 July to 4 August 2002. The 2002 Games were to be hosted in the United Kingdom to coincide with the Golden Jubilee of Elizabeth II, head of the Commonwealth, and Manchester was selected for the 2002 Games ahead of London. The XVII Commonwealth Games was, prior to the 2012 Summer Olympics, the largest multi-sport event ever to be held in the UK, eclipsing the London 1948 Summer Olympics in numbers of teams and athletes participating. In terms of sports and events, the 2002 Games were the largest Commonwealth Games in history featuring 281 events across 17 sports.
The Games were considered a success for the host city, providing an event to display how Manchester had changed following the 1996 bombing. The Games formed the catalyst for the widespread regeneration and heavy development of Manchester, and bolstered its reputation as a European and global city internationally. Rapid economic development and continued urban regeneration of the now post-industrial Manchester continued after the Games which helped cement its place as one of the principal cultural cities in the United Kingdom.
The opening and closing ceremonies, the athletic and the rugby sevens events were held at the City of Manchester Stadium, which was purpose built for the Games. Unusually for a large multi-sport eventthe second-largest competition by number of countries and athletes participatingthe shooting events were held in the National Shooting Centre in Bisley, Surrey, some 200 miles (322 km) from the main focus of the Games in Manchester. Seventy-two nations competed in 14 individual sports and 3 team sports events.

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 PC2FJ5 - A batsman plays a controlled defensive shot during a club cricket match at Grappenhall Cricket Club on Broad Lane in Grappenhall, South Warrington, Cheshire. Wearing traditional white cricket clothing, protective batting pads, gloves and a navy helmet, the player watches a red ball closely as it approaches the bat beside the yellow wicket stumps. The low, carefully judged stroke captures the concentration, timing and technique required during a competitive innings.
Behind the action stands the ground's distinctive traditional scorebox, a small half-timbered structure with a tiled roof and manually operated black-and-white score panels. The display records a total of 31 runs, with match information for wickets, overs, the last batsman and the most recent dismissal. A San Lorenzo restaurant and terrace advertising panel occupies the lower part of the building, while wooden benches, mature trees and the green outfield complete the familiar atmosphere of an English village cricket ground beneath a partly cloudy summer sky.
Grappenhall Cricket Club played its first recorded match in 1881 at a ground on Bellhouse Lane. The club moved to its present Broad Lane home in 1892, establishing a sporting tradition that has continued for well over a century. Known locally as Grappers, the club fields senior teams in the Cheshire County Cricket League alongside junior, women's and veteran cricket, supporting player development and community participation across different ages and levels of ability.
The scene illustrates the grassroots character of English recreational cricket, where competitive league sport takes place within a relaxed village and suburban setting. Traditional scorekeeping, volunteer involvement, local sponsorship and familiar weekend fixtures remain important parts of club life. The photograph can be used to illustrate batting technique, red-ball cricket, local league competition, sporting heritage, community recreation and the enduring popularity of the sport

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 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.

Here, a panorama from a section of the WilliamsF1 Grand Prix collection and facility near Wantage, Oxon (Oxfordshire) England UK.
The team was founded and run by Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head in 1977. Cars here cover the 1984 to 1991 seasons, mainly Honda/Judd era.
At the 1997 British Grand Prix, Canadian Jacques Villeneuve won the team's 100th race, making Williams one of only three teams in Formula One, alongside Ferrari and fellow British team McLaren achieve this.
I saw the team at the British Grand Prix in 1995 (Nigel Mansell / Keke Rosberg ) FW10B &
1997 (Nigel Mansell / Riccardo Patrese / Nelson Piquet) FW11B at Silverstone. The \u2018FW\u2019 represents the initials of team owner Frank Williams. At the 1995 GP Keke Rosberg did the first 160mph lap around the 'old' (and better!) Silverstone during qualifying. I must dig out some shots from those days. Carbon fibre composite technology had just started to be incorporated into the cars that year, with Williams finishing third in the constructors' championship. At Silverstone I watched Alain Prost in the McLaren-TAG take the race.
1987 brought the Williams Honda partnership its first and currently only drivers championship title from Nelson Piquet He scooped 76 points and won three races, while Mansell, was 15 points behind him in second place with six victories during the season. The team finished as constructors\u2019 champions for the second year running, scoring 137 points, 61 points ahead of their nearest rivals McLaren. Unfortunately Honda short sightedly ended their partnership with Williams at the end of the 1987 in favour of McLaren and Lotus. Fortunately, this year it was Mansell in the Williams I saw take the race.
