Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKDAWX - Sunny documentary street photograph shows Market Place in Wigan town centre, Greater Manchester, with pedestrians, benches, pigeons, litter bins, shopfronts and a long black-and-white timber-framed frontage forming the main architectural focus. Visible retailers include Hays Travel and Poundbakery, placing the scene firmly in the everyday economy of a northern English high street rather than a polished heritage postcard. The buildings shown are part of Wigan's historic town-centre fabric: Historic England lists 26-32 Market Place including 1-5 Market Street as Grade II, describing a block of shops with offices above, dated 1904, by Heaton, Ralph and Heaton, combining Edwardian Baroque with sixteenth-century vernacular timber-framing. The adjacent 34 Market Place is also Grade II listed and dates from 1905 as a continuation of the same commercial frontage. The image is useful for editorial features on Wigan, Greater Manchester town centres, retail change, market-town identity, conservation areas, public realm, regeneration, everyday shopping streets, high-street decline and survival, northern architecture, visitor economy and local community life. Wigan's market history reaches back many centuries, with Wigan Local History and Heritage Society noting market rights from 1247 and describing the market as the commercial and social heartbeat of the town for generations. The bright blue sky, scattered cloud, strong daylight and busy square give the scene a lively summer or late spring feel, while the construction crane hints at ongoing redevelopment and change nearby. This combination of listed architecture, active public space, chain retail, local footfall and town-centre renewal makes the photograph suitable for news, planning, travel, heritage, local government, retail, regeneration and social history uses across Wigan, Lancashire and the wider North West of England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EF6BHB - A high level sunset view across central Manchester looking south and south west over Deansgate, the Great Jackson Street development area and the glass residential towers of Deansgate Square, with the flatter landscape stretching away towards Trafford and the wider Greater Manchester conurbation. The photograph captures Manchester's rapidly changing skyline, where clusters of tall apartment towers, cranes, offices, older red brick buildings, railway infrastructure and former industrial streets sit side by side. Deansgate Square, formerly known as Owen Street, is a prominent group of four glazed residential skyscrapers on the southern edge of the city centre, close to Deansgate railway station and the Mancunian Way. The tallest tower rises to around 201 metres, helping to give this part of Manchester the high-rise visual character sometimes compared by commentators and local observers with Dubai-style city living. The image is useful for editorial and commercial stock uses around urban regeneration, build to rent housing, city centre apartments, skyline change, construction, property investment, northern growth, high density living, planning, affordability, placemaking, and the reshaping of post-industrial British cities. Warm low evening light catches the tower facades while grey cloud and a clear horizon create a dramatic dusk atmosphere. The view also shows how new vertical residential districts now contrast with Manchester's older commercial blocks, railway viaducts, warehouses and street grid. It can illustrate stories about Deansgate, the Southern Gateway, Great Jackson Street, Trafford views, city centre population growth, luxury flats, cranes, modern architecture, housing supply, high-rise development, and debates over whether Manchester's fast growth is creating a confident global city or a more uneven, investor-led skyline. The weather appears dry, with late-day sunlight breaking through cloud, giving the scene a reflective urban mood.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CPAX70 - Sale Town Hall photographed in the town centre of Sale, Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The image shows the historic municipal building with its symmetrical stone facade, central entrance, and clock tower, set behind a small public square lined with mature trees. Originally constructed in the early 20th century, Sale Town Hall served for many years as the administrative centre for the former Sale Borough Council and later Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council following local government reorganisation.
The building reflects Edwardian civic architecture, designed to convey permanence, authority, and civic pride during a period of rapid urban growth in the Manchester suburbs. A statue positioned in the foreground forms part of the wider civic setting, reinforcing the building's role as a focal point for public life, remembrance, and local identity.
Today, Sale Town Hall remains an important landmark within the town, situated close to the Bridgewater Canal and the redeveloped Waterside cultural area. The image captures broader themes of local government heritage, the evolution of municipal buildings, and the continuing presence of historic civic architecture within modern town centres across Britain.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3BR177K - Abbey Presbyterian Church is a church located at Parnell Square, Dublin. Designed by architect Andrew Heiton of Perth, Scotland, it is a decorated Gothic building, with a spire 180 feet (54.9 m) high. The church was erected in 1864 with funding from Alexander Findlater (17971873), a Dublin merchant and philanthropist, and is known colloquially as Findlater's church, and it is referred to in two of James Joyce's novels as Findlater's Church.
The Church was built on the north eastern corner of Rutland (now Parnell) Square and North Frederick Street. It was built on the site of Headfort House (sometimes Bective House), which was owned by the Earl of Bective (also the Marquess of Headfort), and named after his family's County Meath estate at Headfort House. The Earl had moved from a house of the same name in Smithfield which had by that time become an unfashionable district.
One of the first preachers was John Hall (18291898).
The congregation had previously, from 1667 until 1864, worshipped on Capel Street, on the site of the old St. Mary's Abbey. It was founded by a preacher from Bull Alley, the Rev. William Jacque, who left along with some of its congregation to form the new church. The Capel Street Congregation was sometimes incorrectly referred to as the Scots Church, and confused with the Scots Presbyterian Church, Lower Abbey Street. In 1778 during Rev. McDowell's ministry, the congregation renamed itself Mary's Abbey Congregation (whence the Abbey Presbyterian Church gets its name).
In 1911 Abbey Church, along with other Presbyterian churches, The Scots Church, Ormond Quay church and Union Chapel, founded Lindsay Road National School.
In 1918 the Union Chapel, on Lower Abbey Street, whose chapel had been damaged during the 1916 Rising, joined the Abbey Presbyterian Church

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ECEEBF - Coventry railway station is seen at dusk after rain, with warm station lighting, wet paving and passengers moving through the modern entrance area at Station Square. The image shows the striking red and black redevelopment beside the older rail complex, giving a strong editorial view of everyday public transport, urban regeneration and evening travel in the West Midlands. Coventry station is a major city railway gateway on the West Coast Main Line, used by commuters, students, leisure travellers and visitors moving between London, Birmingham, the wider Midlands and other UK destinations. The reflective paving, grey winter sky, umbrellas, coats and glowing interior lights create a useful atmospheric stock image for rail travel, station access, public realm design, city centre connectivity, sustainable transport, commuting, transport infrastructure and railway investment. Visible passengers, bollards, planters, signage, glass frontage and the station forecourt help place the scene in a real, working urban environment rather than a generic architectural view. The photograph can illustrate stories about Coventry's transport links, railway modernisation, station redevelopment, passenger experience, public transport interchange, city centre regeneration, evening commuting, wet weather travel and investment around station districts. The red framed building and illuminated windows also make the image suitable for articles on contemporary station architecture, post-industrial city renewal, Midlands economic development, rail accessibility and the role of well-connected stations in supporting tourism, employment and university travel. The dusk timing gives extra commercial value for features needing a moody but recognisable British railway image, with enough people present to show scale, movement and daily use without making the scene feel overcrowded.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RJ3YRD - Buxton Opera House is in The Square, Buxton, Derbyshire, England. It is a 902-seat opera house that hosts the annual Buxton Festival and the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival, among others, as well as pantomime at Christmas, musicals and other entertainments year-round. Hosting live performances until 1927, the theatre then was used mostly as a cinema until 1976. In 1979, it was refurbished and reopened as a venue for live performance.
The Buxton Opera House was built in 1903 and designed by Frank Matcham, who designed the London Palladium, the London Coliseum and many other theatres throughout the UK. The first production at the theatre was Mrs Willoughby's Kiss. The Opera House ran as a successful theatre, receiving touring companies until 1927, when it was turned into a cinema. Silent films were shown until 1932 when the theatre was wired for sound and could present talkies. The Opera House also became the venue for an annual summer theatre festival from 1936 to 1942, two of them in conjunction with Lilian Baylis and her London-based Old Vic company. People who performed at the opera house include the actor Alec Guinness, the comedians Ken Dodd, Peter Kay, Harry Hill, Sarah Millican and John Bishop, the musical artists Howard Jones, Aled Jones, Leo Sayer and Razorlight, and the ballerina Anna Pavlova.
After the Second World War, the theatre continued to serve primarily as a cinema. The building was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1970. The Opera House gradually fell into disrepair.
In 1979, the building was restored, and an orchestra pit was added to the original Matcham design. Since then, the Opera House has been a full-time venue for stage productions, presenting approximately 450 performances per year

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YTG - Hale is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Halton, Cheshire, England with a population of 1,800. The village is north of the River Mersey, and just to the east of the boundary with Merseyside. It is 2+1⁄2 miles east of Speke in Liverpool, and 4 miles south-west of Widnes. The nearby village of Halebank is to the north-east.
Historically part of Lancashire, until 1 April 1974 the area formed part of the Whiston Rural District.
The population of the parish is stable with a population of 1,898 (2001 census), 1,841 (2011 census) and 1,800 (2021 census).
John Middleton (15781623), the Childe of Hale, was reputed to be nine feet, three inches tall, or 2.8 m. His cottage and grave are located in the village. Just outside St Mary's Church was a wooden carving of the Childe Of Hale that is said to have been life-sized. It was replaced in 2013 by a 3-metre bronze statue by sculptor Diane Gorvin
Middleton was born in the village of Hale, near Liverpool. According to contemporary accounts and his epitaph, he grew to the height of 9 feet 3 inches (2.82 m) and slept with his feet hanging out the window of his house.
Because of his size the landlord and sheriff of Lancashire, Gilbert Ireland, hired him as a bodyguard. When King James I stopped by in 1617 to knight Ireland he heard about Middleton and invited both of them to the court, which they accepted in 1620. Middleton beat the King's champion in wrestling and in doing so broke the man's thumb. He received £20, a large amount of money in those times. Jealous of his wealth, Middleton's companions mugged him or swindled him out of his money while he was returning to Hale. Middleton died impoverished in 1623. He was buried in the cemetery of St Mary's Church in Hale. The epitaph reads, Here lyeth the bodie of John Middleton the Childe of Hale. Nine feet three. Borne 1578 Dyede 1623. He is likely one of the tallest people in history. If these height markings are accurate, he would surpass Robert Wadlow's stature

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RA23AD - This image shows a close-up view of a cast iron street grid cover manufactured by A C Woodrow & Co of London. The grid features a distinctive diamond-shaped layout with raised square studs and embossed lettering reading A C Woodrow & Co and London , identifying the foundry responsible for its production.
Street grids and covers of this type form part of London's historic municipal infrastructure, typically used for drainage, ventilation, or access to underground services beneath pavements and roadways. The robust cast iron construction reflects the emphasis on durability and longevity characteristic of late nineteenth and early twentieth century urban engineering.
The surface displays heavy weathering, rust, and patina from prolonged exposure to foot traffic, vehicles, and the elements. These marks of wear give the grid both functional character and visual interest, highlighting the material history embedded in everyday street furniture.
Photographed tightly to emphasise texture, typography, and geometric design, the image works well as editorial material illustrating British industrial heritage, historic foundry work, and the overlooked details of urban infrastructure that underpin city life in London.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PNA0WK - Lincoln Cathedral, Lincoln Minster, or the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lincoln and sometimes St Mary's Cathedral, in Lincoln, England, is a Grade I listed cathedral and is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Lincoln. Construction commenced in 1072 and continued in several phases throughout the High Middle Ages. Like many of the medieval cathedrals of England, it was built in the Early Gothic style.
Some historians claim it became the tallest building in the world upon the completion of its 160 metres (525 ft) high central spire in 1311, although this is disputed. If so, it was the first building to hold that title after the Great Pyramid of Giza, and held it for 238 years until the spire collapsed in 1548, and was not rebuilt. Had the central spire remained intact, Lincoln Cathedral would have remained the world's tallest structure until the completion of the Washington Monument in 1884. For hundreds of years the cathedral held one of the four remaining copies of the original Magna Carta, now securely displayed in Lincoln Castle. The cathedral is the fourth largest in the UK (in floor area) at around 5,000 square metres (54,000 sq ft), after Liverpool, St Paul's and York Minster. It is highly regarded by architectural scholars
the Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: I have always held ... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have
When Lincoln Cathedral was first built, William the Conqueror granted the parish of Welton to Remigius in order to endow six prebends which provided income to support six canons attached to the cathedral. These were subsequently confirmed by William II and Henry I

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PNA0Y6 - Empowerment is a public sculpture in the centre of the city of Lincoln in England.
Designed by the artist Stephen Broadbent, sponsored by Alstom UK Ltd, Lincoln Co-operative Society, and other Lincoln businesses and organisations, donated to Lincoln City Council.
The sculpture was completed in 2002, unveiled on 2 February, and spans the River Witham in Lincoln's City Square. It takes the form of two aluminium-and-steel human figures reaching to each other across the water. The design is intended to echo the shape of turbine blades, in recognition of Lincoln's industrial heritage, which transform into dynamic figures that reach out to empower one another, just as the blades empower one another within the turbine.
The statue was commissioned with the intent to create a bold and striking sculpture to celebrate the millennium, that spans the River Witham in Lincoln's city centre and act as a focal point in the space.
At 16 m (17 yd) tall, Empowerment is the largest sculpture in Lincolnshire. Increasingly, it is now used alongside more traditional images of Lincoln the cathedral and castle as a recognisable 'tourist emblem' of the city, similar to the adoption of the Angel of the North as a symbol of North East England

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RKGH4Y - This image shows a town hall building in Mainz decorated with colourful flags and banners for the annual Fastnacht carnival celebrations. The façade, finished in pale tones with ornate architectural detailing, is enhanced by bright vertical banners and festive decorations, reflecting the city's strong cultural association with Fastnacht. Balconies are adorned with carnival motifs, reinforcing the role of civic buildings as focal points during public celebrations.
Fastnacht is one of Mainz's most important cultural traditions and a central part of the city's identity. During the carnival season, public buildings, streets, and squares are decorated to mark the festivities, which include parades, performances, satire, and community gatherings. Town halls traditionally play a symbolic role during Fastnacht, often serving as venues for official events, speeches, and ceremonial activities.
The image captures themes of civic pride, cultural heritage, and seasonal celebration within a historic European city. It is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to German carnival traditions, Fastnacht celebrations, town halls and civic architecture, tourism, cultural festivals, and urban heritage in Germany.

The photograph shows the grand late Georgian civic building in warm light, with its classical stone frontage, arched windows, columns, sculptural roofline and clock-topped dome set behind the bronze memorial to Admiral Horatio Nelson. Exchange Flags is one of Liverpool's most important historic public spaces, closely linked with the city's commercial, maritime, civic and municipal history. The Nelson Monument was unveiled in 1813 and is a Grade II* listed memorial
it was designed by Matthew Cotes Wyatt, with sculpture by Richard Westmacott, and is recognised as Liverpool's first major public sculpture. Liverpool Town Hall, also listed at the highest Grade I level, dates mainly from the mid to late eighteenth century and remains one of the city's finest civic buildings, associated with mayors, council ceremonies, public events, merchants, trade, port history and the development of Liverpool as a major world city. The image is useful for editorial coverage of Liverpool architecture, Georgian civic design, heritage tourism, British municipal history, listed buildings, city centre regeneration, maritime power, naval memory, public sculpture and debates about monuments, empire, slavery, trade and civic identity. The Nelson Monument includes dramatic bronze figures and relief panels, reflecting nineteenth-century commemoration of naval victory, while also carrying uncomfortable historical associations with imperial power and Liverpool's wider trading past. The clear blue sky, decorative street lighting, empty square and formal architecture make this a clean travel, heritage and urban stock image, suitable for stories about Liverpool city breaks, Merseyside tourism, Exchange Flags, historic conservation, civic pride, architecture trails, walking tours and the layered history of one of England's great port cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M369GH - Edinburgh Trams is a tramway in Edinburgh, Scotland, operated by Edinburgh Trams Ltd. It is a 14-kilometre (8.7 mi) line between St Andrew Square in the New Town and Edinburgh Airport, with 15 stops.
Construction began in June 2008, and after encountering delays it opened on 31 May 2014. The scheme had an initial estimated cost of £375 million in 2003, but by May 2008, when contracts were signed, the cost had risen to £521 million. The final cost after delays was £776 million.
After running for two years, the scheme had achieved pre-tax profitability (excluding maintenance and infrastructure costs) and exceeded the original ridership targets. It has run at an operating loss since 2018 (e.g. −£9.4 million in 2018). On 14 March 2019, Edinburgh Council voted to approve the extension of the existing line from York Place to Newhaven. The extended line is due to be operational by early 2023

Warrington Borough Council's move into its offices in Time Square is bringing significant savings for the local authority, new figures show.
The council relocated from the New Town House site, and other administrative buildings, in late 2020/early 2021, to reduce the excessive running costs of the outdated office accommodation, and provide a better, modern environment for staff and Customers.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>customers.
With council staff now having been at the £23m 1 Time Square' building for the past 18 months which is a much more efficient building than the previous New Town House site - financial analysis shows that the move to the building is saving the council almost three quarters of a million pounds each year.
Previously, the council paid an annual rent and service charge for the New Town House and Quattro buildings, on top of costs such as business rates and maintenance. In addition, the council paid the running costs of its Rylands Street offices and the Customer Contact Centre on Horsemarket Street. The total equivalent cost for this was £3.1m per year.
As part of the move to Time Square, the council purchased New Town House and Quattro, to fix repayment costs and avoid the uncontrollable escalation associated with leasing the buildings, including being exposed to increasing energy costs in an inefficient building.
Under this new operation, the equivalent costs to the council covering the borrowing costs for the building of 1 Time Square and its running costs, along with the continuing annual borrowing costs for purchasing the New Town House and Quattro buildings - are £2.3m. This represents an annual saving for the council of £741,000 a year.
Warrington Borough Council's Cabinet Member for finance, Cllr Cathy Mitchell, said: The move to 1 Time Square has brought huge benefits for the council and our customers. It's provided us with cutting edge, modern facilities

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WXW - This image shows a close-up detail of a cast iron street grid set into the pavement in the historic city of York. The surface of the grid is heavily weathered, with visible rust, corrosion, and oxidisation built up over many years of exposure to rain, foot traffic, and seasonal temperature changes.
The grid features a repeating geometric pattern of raised square studs, designed to provide strength, durability, and slip resistance. Iron grids and covers of this type are a common but often overlooked element of urban infrastructure, providing access to drainage systems or underground utilities while forming part of the everyday streetscape.
In historic cities such as York, street furniture like this often dates back decades, sometimes even to earlier phases of municipal development, and reflects the longevity of traditional cast iron engineering. The visible patina and wear give the metal a textured, almost abstract quality, making it of interest not only for documentary and editorial use but also for design-led or texture-focused imagery.
Photographed tightly to emphasise surface detail, colour variation, and material decay, the image works well for editorial coverage of urban infrastructure, industrial heritage, public utilities, and the hidden physical systems that support city life in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD243D - This image shows the Market Square Clock Tower on Church Street in the centre of Whitby, North Yorkshire. The classical stone building with its prominent clock and cupola forms a focal point of the town's historic market square, a long-established civic and commercial space within Whitby's old town.
In the foreground, market stalls and canopies are set out across the cobbled square, with shoppers and visitors browsing goods. The presence of tourists alongside local residents reflects Whitby's dual role as a working market town and a major seaside visitor destination.
The clock tower building dates from the late eighteenth century and originally served as a market hall, with open arches at ground level allowing trading beneath. Today it remains a central landmark and meeting point, closely connected to Church Street and the surrounding network of narrow historic streets.
The photograph was taken in daylight under partly cloudy skies, capturing the lively atmosphere of a market day in Whitby and illustrating how historic civic architecture continues to frame everyday activity and tourism in the town centre.

The new car park, which was due to open
in December 2017, is a great example of
how architects and contractors can work in
partnership with Maple to transform typically
dull and utilitarian buildings into an integral and
aesthetically appealing part of the urban realm.
With its hexagon-featured golden façade, the
car park complements the other elements of
the £107m Time Square development.
The new car park is an integral and important
part of the Time Square project as it will
underpin and support the whole scheme, said
the leader of Warrington Borough Council, Terry
O'Neill.
Architect's ratings
Leach Rhodes Walker described us as excellent'
after the successful collaboration. Maple's
knowledge and craftsmanship was excellent
throughout, said LRW's lead project designer,
Ka Yin Man. From when we spoke to sales
about the commercials, to (dealing with) the
design and projects teams, the whole experience
was collaborative. In a post-project interview,
the architects' firm gave us top marks for design
services, project support, meeting deadlines
and the quality of the finished product. Added
Ka Yin: Maple were always helpful, and any
questions were dealt with promptly. Everyone
was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
The end result was even better than expected
The project was one of the first to use the new
dedicated prototype area at Maple's factory in
Stockport. The architects and contractors I & H
Brown Construction were able to view real-life
examples of the bespoke perforated panels and
golden hexagon cut-outs - at actual size. The
prototypes were powder-coated in the specified
colour, and fitted to the display framework using
actual fittings - meaning that any changes to the
design or specification could be made without
it having a major impact on timings or budget

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNM0XD - St Mary's Church is an Anglican parish church in Nantwich, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It has been called the Cathedral of South Cheshire and it is considered by some to be one of the finest medieval churches, not only in Cheshire, but in the whole of England. The architectural writer Raymond Richards described it as one of the great architectural treasures of Cheshire, and Alec Clifton-Taylor included it in his list of outstanding English parish churches.
The building dates from the 14th century, although a number of changes have since been made, particularly a substantial 19th-century restoration by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The church and its octagonal tower are built in red sandstone. Features of the church's interior include the lierne-vaulted ceiling of the choir, the carved stone canopies of the sedilia in the chancel, and the intricately carved wooden canopies over the choirstalls together with the 20 misericords at the back of the stalls. The church is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Nantwich
The last major work to be carried out on the church was in 1878, under the direction of local architect Thomas Bower, when the south porch was restored at a cost of £900.
The church is built in red sandstone and is cruciform in shape. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with north and south aisles, a south porch with two storeys, a central tower, north and south transepts, and a three-bay chancel, to the north of which is a two-storey treasury. The tower is square below and octagonal above. Both transepts are of three bays and the northernmost bay of the north transept was formerly a Lady chapel. The other two bays were dedicated to Saint George. The south transept was known as the Kingsley Chapel

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2ABY9DF - The Theatre Royal Stratford East is a large theatre in Stratford in the London Borough of Newham. Since 1953, it has been the home of the Theatre Workshop company, famously associated with Joan Littlewood.
The theatre was designed by architect James George Buckle, who was commissioned by the actor-manager Charles Dillon in 1884. It is the architect's only surviving work, built on the site of a wheelwright's shop on Salway Road, close to the junction with Angel Lane. It opened on 17 December 1884 with a revival of Richelieu by Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Two years later, Dillon sold it to Albert O'Leary Fredericks, his sister's brother-in-law and one of the original backers of the scheme.
In 1887 the theatre was renamed Theatre Royal and Palace of Varieties and side extensions were added in 1887. The stage was enlarged in 1891, by the original architect. In 1902, Frank Matcham undertook minor improvements to the entrance and foyer. The Theatre reverted to its Theatre Royal Stratford East ('TRSE') name in 1914. A fire on the stage on August Bank Holiday Monday of 1921 did considerable damage to the rear of the theatre. Thankfully the fire happened at midnight, with the safety curtain lowered, saving the auditorium which retains many of its original features to this day. The theatre was closed until January 1922
The theatre came under threat with the construction of the Stratford shopping centre in the 1970s, but was saved by a public campaign and protected in June 1972 by English Heritage with a Grade II* listing. Money remained short, and the manager, Gerry Raffles, only managed redecoration and replacements as cash became available. In 2001, following a successful Heritage Lottery Fund bid, all of the theatre's front of house and backstage areas were refurbished as part of the Olympiad's Stratford Cultural Quarter project

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAT2NW - Eastside City Park is a 6.75 acre (2.73 ha) urban park located in the Eastside district of Birmingham City Centre. Designed by architects Patel taylor with landscape architect Allain Provost, the park was opened to the public on 5 December 2012 at a cost of £11.75 million. Lining the frontage of Millennium Point, the park provides 14,300 square metres of landscaped green space, 310 trees, a 110 metres (360 ft) canal water feature and a public square incorporating 21 jet fountains.
In 2004, discussions began with the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), outlining the preliminary processes regarding the development of the site.
A May 2007 Big Lottery Fund request was filed for £25million, but was rejected in October of the same year. Birmingham City Council later pledged £5million to begin the project.
The Eastside City Park runs from the remaining portion of Park Street Gardens, northwards past the Masshouse development where and in an easterly direction along Curzon Street, past Curzon Street railway station and Millennium Point
the park terminates at the front of Birmingham City University's Parkside campus building.
The park was designed by Architects Patel Taylor with French Landscape Architect Allain Provost who gained commission for the project in 2006. Development of the park commenced in August 2011 by contractors Wates. The park partially opened to the public on 5 December 2012 and officially opened on 16 March 2013.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy TRN0YW - Aberdeen 2019 has been transformed into a vibrant and colourful artistic experience thanks to the return of an annual festival.
More than 100 artists are taking part in the Look Again Festival, which takes advantage of vacant or underused areas of the city and runs until June 16.
Among the highlights of this year's event, the fifth since it was launched, include a Colosseum-inspired colourful installation at the Castlegate and a virtual reality experience in Marischal Quad.
Another major attraction is The Bill Gibb Line, presented by Aberdeen-based writer Shane Strachan.
Gibb was the son of an Aberdeenshire farmer who took the fashion world by storm, with Elizabeth Taylor, Bianca Jagger, and Sandie Shaw wearing his designs in the 1970s.
Look Again co-director Sally Reaper said: In this, our fifth year, Look Again lasts longer and extends further than ever before.
With amazing participation from well over 100 artists, designers, makers, writers and performers, we really feel we are showing what a great creative community we have right here in the north-east.
We are so pleased to be highlighting this wealth of talent.
Our 2019 programme is bold and ambitious, outward-looking and connected, and we are delighted at the collaborations and partnerships that have emerged and continue to grow through Look Again.
An extensive series of talks, workshops and events will also give opportunities to learn more about the work of the participating artists and the creative industries in the north-east.
Launched in 2015, Look Again is now part of Gray's School of Art at Robert Gordon University (RGU) and also holds events throughout the year.
Libby Curtis, head of the art school, said: Look Again is fully committed to supporting the growth and development of Aberdeen's incredible creative industry support it critically needs in order to maintain its robust cultural offering but also to retain the fantastic artistic talent we have here in the north-east.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFMK11 - Bridgwater War Memorial is a Grade II* listed war memorial located on King Square in Bridgwater, Somerset, England, on the site previously occupied by Bridgwater Castle. It was designed by John Angel in the mid-1920s. The green figure of the memorial is allegorical, representing Civilization as a seated female, holding a globe in one hand and with the book of knowledge on her lap.
John Angel sculpted the Angel of Bridgwater. Mounted on a plinth, a female figure of 'Civilisation' lofts the world, which is encircled by emblems of commerce and peace. Under her foot are the demons of war. The throne and figure are backed by relief depictions of Labour, Home, Life and Education. On her lap is a book of laws, and she is surrounded by children. Indeed, given its monumental breadth, the many details in the design, and its metaphorical and iconic form, the sculpture is subject to colorful and variant interpretations and description. The bronze was cast by W Morris Art Bronze Foundry
At the time, Angel was working four years as assistant to Sir George Frampton,[2] and Frampton's influence is apparent. Figures from the roughly contemporaneous Exeter War Memorial, specifically Peace (also known as Victory) were exhibited by Angel at The Royal Academy in 1922, being exhibited in the courtyard of Burlington House,[8] as were other studies of the Bridgwater War Memorial on several occasions.
On the third step these words are inscribed: IN HONOUR OF THE MEN OF BRIDGWATER WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918
The memorial was unveiled by General the Earl of Cavan then Chief of the Imperial General Staff on 25 September 1924, to commemorate the fallen of World War I. Further names have been added following World War II, the Korean War. Falklands Conflict and the Afghan conflict. It has been characterised as, An exceptionally fine and moving memorial, which forms an important focal point to this fine late Georgian square.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy R9GRYH - Bridgwater War Memorial is a Grade II* listed war memorial located on King Square in Bridgwater, Somerset, England, on the site previously occupied by Bridgwater Castle. It was designed by John Angel in the mid-1920s. The green figure of the memorial is allegorical, representing Civilization as a seated female, holding a globe in one hand and with the book of knowledge on her lap.
John Angel sculpted the Angel of Bridgwater. Mounted on a plinth, a female figure of 'Civilisation' lofts the world, which is encircled by emblems of commerce and peace. Under her foot are the demons of war. The throne and figure are backed by relief depictions of Labour, Home, Life and Education. On her lap is a book of laws, and she is surrounded by children. Indeed, given its monumental breadth, the many details in the design, and its metaphorical and iconic form, the sculpture is subject to colorful and variant interpretations and description. The bronze was cast by W Morris Art Bronze Foundry.
At the time, Angel was working four years as assistant to Sir George Frampton, and Frampton's influence is apparent. Figures from the roughly contemporaneous Exeter War Memorial, specifically Peace (also known as Victory) were exhibited by Angel at The Royal Academy in 1922, being exhibited in the courtyard of Burlington House,[8] as were other studies of the Bridgwater War Memorial on several occasions.
On the third step these words are inscribed: IN HONOUR OF THE MEN OF BRIDGWATER WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918
The memorial was unveiled by General the Earl of Cavan then Chief of the Imperial General Staff on 25 September 1924, to commemorate the fallen of World War I. Further names have been added following World War II, the Korean War. Falklands Conflict and the Afghan conflict. It has been characterised as, An exceptionally fine and moving memorial, which forms an important focal point to this fine late Georgian square.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GGWH3P - Liverpool Town Hall stands in High Street at its junction with Dale Street, Castle Street, and Water Street in Liverpool, Merseyside, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and described in the list as one of the finest surviving 18th-century town halls. The authors of the Buildings of England series refer to its magnificent scale, and consider it to be probably the grandest ...suite of civic rooms in the country, and an outstanding and complete example of late Georgian decoration.
It is not an administrative building but a civic suite, Lord Mayor's parlour and Council chamber
local government administration is centred at the nearby Municipal Buildings. The town hall was built between 1749 and 1754 to a design by John Wood the Elder replacing an earlier town hall nearby. An extension to the north designed by James Wyatt was added in 1785. Following a fire in 1795 the hall was largely rebuilt and a dome designed by Wyatt was built. Minor alterations have subsequently been made. The streets surrounding its site have altered since its initiation, notably when viewed from Castle Street, the south-side, it appears as off-centre. This is because Water Street which ran to the junction with Dale Street, the west-east axis, was continuous and built up across the junction so that the Town Hall was not visible originally from that aspect. The structures were removed 150 years after this to expose the building from this position.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED9DM7 - Barton Arcade is a Victorian shopping arcade in Manchester, England, located between Deansgate and St Ann's Square.
The arcade was listed as a Grade II* listed building on the 25 January 1972. The listing includes the block of shops (Barton's Building) and offices enclosing the arcades. It was constructed by Corbett, Raby and Sawyer in 1871.
Hartwell describes the Barton's Building facade as utterly ignorant.. the ground floor pilasters must be seen to be believed. The arcade, however, is a gorgeous glass and iron shopping arcade with glass domes..., the best example of this type of cast-iron and glass arcade anywhere in the country.
The entrance to the arcade on St Ann's Square incorporates a large, cast iron and glass wall. The two entrances on Deansgate are hidden behind the Barton Building. The building is of four storeys with an attic, a long nine-bay facade to Deansgate, divided in half horizontally by a balustraded balcony. The structure is composed of cast iron and glass. The iron work was supplied by the Macfarlane Saracen Glass Factory in Glasgow. The building was one of the first to be built on the newly widened Deansgate.The arcade was restored in the 1980s. The original shop fronts and decorative floor no longer exist

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED9DMX - Manchester Town Hall is a Victorian, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. It is the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments. The building faces Albert Square to the north, featuring the Albert Memorial and St Peter's Square to the south, home to The Cenotaph.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse, the town hall was completed in 1877. The building contains offices and grand ceremonial rooms such as the Great Hall which is decorated with Ford Madox Brown's imposing Manchester Murals illustrating the history of the city. The entrance and Sculpture Hall contain busts and statues of influential figures including Dalton, Joule and Barbirolli. The exterior is dominated by the clock tower which rises to 280 feet (85 m) and houses Great Abel, the clock bell.
In 1938, a detached Town Hall Extension was completed and is connected by two covered bridges over Lloyd Street. The town hall, which was granted Grade I listed building status on 25 February 1952, is regarded as one of the finest interpretations of Gothic revival architecture in the world.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K5J0D0 - Symphony Hall is a 2,262 seat concert venue in Birmingham, England. It was officially opened by the Queen on 12 June 1991, although it had been in use since 15 April 1991. It is home to the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and hosts around 270 events a year. It was completed at a cost of £30 million. The hall's interior is modelled on the Musikverein in Vienna and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The venue, managed alongside Town Hall, presents a programme of jazz, world, folk, rock, pop and classical concerts, organ recitals, spoken word, dance, comedy, educational and community performances, and is also used for conferences and business events as part of the International Convention Centre.
In 2016 the Concert Hall Acoustics expert Leo Beranek ranked Symphony Hall as having the finest acoustics in the United Kingdom, and the seventh best in the world. Proof of these fine acoustics is that a pre-opening acoustic test demonstrated that if a pin was dropped on stage, the sound could be heard from anywhere in the hall
Symphony Hall was designed by Percy Thomas Partnership and Renton Howard Wood Levin, (who together formed the Convention Centre Partnership for the ICC) with specialist help from Russell Johnson, founder of acoustic consultants Artec. A particularly innovative feature is the hall's acoustic flexibility. It has a reverberation chamber behind the stage and extending high along the sides, adding 50% to the hall's volume, the doors to which can be remotely opened or closed. The U-shaped reverberation chamber area has a volume of 12,700 cubic metres (450,000 cu ft). There is an acoustic canopy which can be raised or lowered above the stage. Dampening panels can be extended or retracted to ensure that the sound of the space is perfectly matched to the scale and style of the music to be performed. There are also reverse fan walls at the rear of the hall which provide further reflections of sound

Cricket in Australia holds 87 as a superstitiously unlucky score and is referred to as 'the devil's number.' 87 is 13 runs short of a century, but there is a more interesting story. The origin of the superstition stretches back 85 years to December 1929, when a 10-year-old Keith Miller was watching Australia\u2019s greatest cricketer in a Sheffield Shield match at the MCG.
Don Bradman was putting on a batting master class for NSW against hosts Victoria, when out of nowhere the Don was bowled neck and crop by Harry \u2018Bull\u2019 Alexander on 87. Miller was stunned. How could this happen to his hero? The number became a fixation for Miller, who would rifle through newspapers for club cricket scorecards in search for the unlucky figure.
The shock of Bradman\u2019s untimely demise stayed with Miller. The legend spread when Miller was playing district cricket for South Melbourne alongside future Test captain Ian Johnson. Johnson was dismissed on 87, providing Miller the opportunity to recount the famous incident and offer his unholy theory.
The myth began circling the cricket community and became folklore after World War II when Richie Benaud and Alan Davidson heard of it.
However, as the hype around the superstition reached its highest point, Miller decided to review the scorebook of the match only to find a shocking revelation.
Bradman was actually bowled for 89. Miller blamed the slow MCG scorecard for the error, but the damage had been done, 87 would remain forever as the Devil\u2019s number.

87 is the sum of the squares of the first four primes. It is also the sum of the sum of divisors of the first ten integers.
Its the atomic number of francium and in the world of model railways, the ratio of the popular H0 scale is 1:87.

61 is the 18th prime number and the code for direct dial calls to Australia. The previous prime is 59, with which it comprises a twin prime. It is the sixth Euler zigzag number (or Up/down number). In base 14, 61 is a unique prime since no other prime has a 6-digit period in base 14.
Since 8! + 1 is divisible by 61 but 61 is not one more than a multiple of 8, 61 is a Pillai prime. In the list of Fortunate numbers, 61 occurs thrice, since adding 61 to either the tenth, twelfth or seventeenth primorial gives a prime number (namely 6,469,693,291

Year 68 (LXVIII) was a leap year starting on Friday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Asconius and Thraculus, or the start of the Year of the Four Emperors.
68 is a Perrin number. It is the largest known number to be the sum of two primes in exactly two different ways: 68 = 7 + 61 = 31 + 37. All higher even numbers that have been checked are the sum of three or more pairs of primes
the conjecture that 68 is the largest number with this property is closely related to the Goldbach conjecture and like it remains unproven.
There are exactly 68 10-bit binary numbers in which each bit has an adjacent bit with the same value, exactly 68 combinatorially distinct triangulations of a given triangle with four points interior to it, and exactly 68 intervals in the Tamari lattice describing the ways of parenthesizing five items.

Number 58 was commonly associated with misfortune in many civilizations native to either Central America or Southern America. Due to their beliefs in the original 58 sins, the number came to symbolize curses and ill-luck. Aztec oracles supposedly stumbled across the number an unnaturally high number of times before disaster fell. One famous recording of this, though largely discredited as mere folktale, concerned the oracle of Moctezuma II, who allegedly counted 58 pieces of gold scattered before a sacrificial pit the day prior to the arrival of Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s.

Sixty-four is the number of sexual positions in the Kama Sutra, the square of 8, the cube of 4, and the sixth power of 2. It is the smallest number with exactly seven divisors. It is the lowest positive power of two that is adjacent to neither a Mersenne prime nor a Fermat prime. 64 is the sum of Euler's totient function for the first fourteen integers. It is also a dodecagonal number and a centered triangular number. 64 is also the first whole number that is both a perfect square and a perfect cube.
Since it is possible to find sequences of 64 consecutive integers such that each inner member shares a factor with either the first or the last member, 64 is an Erd\u0151s\u2013Woods number. In base 10, no integer added up to its own digits yields 64, hence it is a self number.

Fifty-seven is the sixteenth discrete semiprime and the sixth in the (3.q) family. With 58 it forms the fourth discrete bi-prime pair. 57 has an aliquot sum of 23 and is the first composite member of the 23-aliquot tree.
As a semiprime, 57 is a Blum integer since its two prime factors are both Gaussian primes.
In the first storyboard draft for Pixar's film Cars, the main character, a race car named Lightning McQueen was going to have number 57 as his racing number, in reference to director John Lasseter's birthdate, January 12, 1957. But in the final cut, Lightning's racing number changed to 95.

Heinz 57, a brand of sauce, and the number of varieties of foods claimed to be produced by the H.J. Heinz Company. Pictured here is the sign from the UK's largest baked bean factory near Wigan, Lancs.
Henry J. Heinz introduced the marketing slogan '57 Varieties' in 1896. He later claimed he was inspired by an advertisement he saw while riding an elevated train in New York City (a shoe store boasting '21 styles'). The reason for '57' is unclear. Heinz said he chose '5' because it was his lucky number and the number '7' was his wife's lucky number. However Heinz also said the number '7' was selected specifically because of the 'psychological influence of that figure and of its enduring significance to people of all ages'. Whatever the reasons, Heinz wanted the company to advertise the greatest number of choices of canned and bottled foods for sale. In fact by 1892, four years before the slogan was created, the Heinz company was already selling more than 60 products.
Animals, especially dogs which are a mixture of multiple breeds, can be referred to as 'Heinz 57'. In bingo in the United Kingdom, a commonly used call for '57' is 'Heinz variety'.

Studio 54 was a popular New York nightclub from 1977 until 1981 when it was sold by founders and creators Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager. It was called the most famous nightclub of all time and was a sophisticated, groundbreaking multi-media visual extravaganza. It continued to operate as a nightclub until 1991 by other owners.
Located at 254 West 54th Street in Manhattan, New York City, the space was originally the Gallo Opera House, opening in 1927, after which it changed names several times, eventually becoming CBS radio and television Studio 52. Since November 1998 it has been a venue for the Roundabout Theatre Company and is still called Studio 54, but is no longer a nightclub. A separate restaurant and nightclub, called 54 Below, operates in the basement of the famed venue

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNRF - This night-time photograph shows a large tethered advertising balloon illuminated from within and displayed in Yeovil, Somerset, creating a striking focal point against the dark sky. The balloon prominently features the branding health-on-line along with the slogan Surprisingly Affordable Health Insurance , clearly readable on the envelope.
The balloon is secured by multiple guy ropes and positioned within a fenced grassed area, suggesting a temporary promotional or public event installation rather than a free-flying aircraft. Ground-based floodlights enhance the visual impact, while nearby buildings and street lighting place the scene firmly within an urban town-centre environment.
Such tethered balloons are commonly used for marketing, promotional campaigns, and public engagement events, particularly in high-visibility civic spaces. The image documents contemporary outdoor advertising practices, night-time town-centre activity, and branded visual spectacle in a South West England setting, making it suitable for editorial use relating to marketing, insurance, public events, urban life, and UK regional towns

Forty-Two is a pronic number and an abundant number
its prime factorization 2 \u00b7 3 \u00b7 7 makes it the second sphenic number and also the second of the form { 2 \u00b7 3 \u00b7 r }. As with all sphenic numbers of this form, the aliquot sum is abundant by 12. 42 is also the second sphenic number to be bracketed by twin primes
30 is also a pronic number and also rests between two primes. 42 has a 14 member aliquot sequence 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 144, 259, 45, 33, 15, 9, 4, 3, 1, 0 and is itself part of the aliquot sequence commencing with the first sphenic number 30. Further, 42 is the 10th member of the 3-aliquot tree.
It is a Catalan number. Consequently
42 is the number of noncrossing partitions of a set of five elements, the number of triangulations of a heptagon, the number of rooted ordered binary trees with six leaves, the number of ways in which five pairs of nested parentheses can be arranged, etc.
The atomic number of molybdenum &
the angle rounded to whole degrees for which a rainbow appears (the critical angle). In the TIFF image file format, the second 16-bit word of every file is 42, which is used together with the first word to indicate byte order.
Google returns this number when 'the answer to life the universe and everything' is entered in an internet search.
In Japanese culture, the number 42 is considered unlucky because the numerals when pronounced separately \u2014 'shi ni' (four two) \u2014 sound like the phrase, 'unto death'. The Gutenberg Bible is also known as the '42-line Bible', as the book contained 42 lines per page.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DN6N8T - The Royal Exchange is a grade II listed building in Manchester, England. It is located in the city centre on the land bounded by St Ann's Square, Exchange Street, Market Street, Cross Street and Old Bank Street. The complex includes the Royal Exchange Theatre and the Royal Exchange Shopping Centre.
The Royal Exchange was heavily damaged in the Manchester Blitz and in the 1996 Manchester bombing. The current building is the last of several buildings on the site used for commodities exchange, primarily but not exclusively of cotton and textiles.
The cotton industry in Lancashire was served by the Manchester Royal Exchange which traded in spun yarn and finished goods throughout the world including Africa while the Liverpool Cotton Exchange traded in imported raw cotton. In the 18th century the trade was part of part the slave trade in which African slaves were transported to America where the cotton was grown and then exported to Liverpool where the raw cotton was sold.[2]
The first exchange opened in 1729 but closed by the end of the century. As the cotton industry boomed, the need for a new exchange was recognized. Thomas Harrison designed the new exchange of 1809 at the junction of Market Street and Exchange Street.[2] The expanding cotton industry required a larger building and its extension was completed in 1849. The second exchange was replaced, by a third exchange by Mills & Murgatroyd, constructed between 1867 and 1874. It was extended and modified by Bradshaw Gass & Hope between 1914 and 1931 to form the largest trading hall in England.
The trading hall had three domes and was double the size of the current hall. The colonnade parallel to Cross Street marked the its centre. On trading days merchants and brokers struck deals which supported the jobs of tens of thousands of textile workers in Manchester and the surrounding towns. Manchester's cotton dealers and manufactureres trading from the Royal Exchange earned the city the name, Cottonopolis

There is no solution to the equation \u03c6(x) = 50, making 50 a nontotient. It is the atomic number of tin, in Kabbalah, there are 50 Gates of Wisdom (or Understanding) and 50 Gates of Impurity.
There are 50 states in the United States of America. The TV show Hawaii Five-O and its re-imagined version, Hawaii Five-0, are so called because Hawaii is the last (50th) of the states to officially become a state. Set in Hawaii, the show originally aired for 12 seasons from 1968 to 1980, and continues in reruns. Jack Lord portrayed Detective Lieutenant Steve McGarrett, the head of a special state police task force which was based on an actual unit that existed under martial law in the 1940s. The theme music composed by Morton Stevens became especially popular. Many episodes would end with McGarrett instructing his subordinate to 'Book 'em, Danno!', sometimes specifying a charge such as 'murder one'.
Note that this is not Steve McGarrett.

A normal human spine has 33 vertebrae when the bones that form the coccyx are counted individually. Its the atomic number of arsenic.
The divine name Elohim appears 33 times in the story of creation in the opening chapters of Genesis. Jesus's age when he was crucified in 33 A.D.
33 is not only a numerical representation of \u201cthe Star of David,\u201d but also the numerical equivalent of AMEN: 1+13+5+14=33. Its also the highest degree in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
33 and a third was the speed of an vinyl microgroove LP vinyl record. I have a loft full of those.
At the time the LP was introduced, nearly all phonograph records for home use were made of an abrasive (and therefore noisy) shellac compound, employed a much larger groove, and played at approximately 78 rpm, limiting the playing time of a 12-inch record to less than five minutes per side. The new product was a 12 or 10-inch fine-grooved disc made of vinyl and played with a smaller-tipped 'microgroove' stylus at a speed of 33\u2153 rpm. Each side of a 12-inch LP could play for more than 20 minutes.
Only the microgroove standard was truly new, as both vinyl and the 33\u2153 rpm speed had been used for special purposes for many years, as well as in one unsuccessful earlier attempt to introduce a long-playing record for home use.
Although the LP was especially suited to classical music because of its extended continuous playing time, it also allowed a collection of ten or more typical 'pop' music recordings to be put on a single disc. Previously, such collections, as well as longer classical music broken up into several parts, had been sold as sets of 78 rpm records in a specially imprinted 'record album' consisting of individual record sleeves bound together in book form. The use of the word 'album' persisted for the one-disc LP equivalent. The average LP has about 1,500 feet (460 m) of groove on each side, or about a third of a mile.

Forty-nine is the square of seven and is therefore the fourth squared prime number. The sum of the digits of the square of 49 (2401) is the square root of 49. Its the first square where the digits are squares. In this case 4 and 9 are squares. It appears in the Padovan sequence, preceded by the terms 21, 28, 37 (it is the sum of the first two of these).
During the Manhattan Project, plutonium was also often referred to, simply, as '49'. Number 4 was for the last digit in 94 (atomic number of plutonium) and 9 for the last digit in Pu-239, the weapon-grade fissile isotope used in nuclear bombs.
49 is the number of days and night Siddhartha Gautama spent meditating as a holy man. 49ers was the moniker of one who participated in the 1849 California Gold Rush, as well as the USA NFL's San Francisco 49ers. Bob Dylan sang about the 'Days of '49'.

Carlos Alberto T\u00e9vez (born Carlos Alberto Mart\u00ednez
5 February 1984) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for English club Manchester City in the number 32 shirt. He has previously played for Boca Juniors, Corinthians, West Ham United and Manchester United. He transferred to Manchester City from United in the 2009 summer transfer window, becoming the first player to move between the two rival clubs since Terry Cooke in 1999.
His energy and goal scoring rate has since made him an indispensable player for the club in the eyes of fellow players and media alike. He was promoted to captain at the beginning of the 2010\u201311 season by manager Roberto Mancini. In 2011, Tevez sought a transfer away from Manchester, citing family reasons and Sergio Ag\u00fcero was drafted in as a replacement. However he remains a City player after his family moved back to Manchester with manager Roberto Mancini believing T\u00e9vez would stay for the foreseeable future.

It is the first of five novels featuring Richard Hannay, an all-action hero with a stiff upper lip and a miraculous knack for getting himself out of sticky situations.
The novel formed the basis for a number of film adaptations, notably: Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 version
a 1959 colour remake
a 1978 version which is perhaps most faithful to the novel
and a 2008 version for British television.

Sixty, 'three score' in some older literature, is a composite number with divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60, making it also a highly composite number. Because 60 is the sum of its unitary divisors (excluding itself), it is a unitary perfect number, and it is also an excessive number with an abundance of 48. Being ten times a perfect number, 60 is a semi-perfect number.
Sixty is the smallest number divisible by the numbers 1 to 6. (There is no smaller number divisible by the numbers 1 to 5). 60 is the smallest number with exactly 12 divisors. It is one of only 7 integers that have more divisors than any number twice itself (sequence A072938 in OEIS), and is one of only 6 that are also lowest common multiple of a consecutive set of integers from 1, and one of the 6 that are divisors of every highly composite number higher than itself.(sequence A106037 in OEIS).
There are four Archimedean solids with 60 vertices: the truncated icosahedron, the rhombicosidodecahedron, the snub dodecahedron, and the truncated dodecahedron. The skeletons of these polyhedra form 60-node vertex-transitive graphs. There are also two Archimedean solids with 60 edges: the snub cube and the icosidodecahedron. The skeleton of the icosidodecahedron forms a 60-edge symmetric graph.
There are 60 one-sided hexominoes, the polyominoes made from 6 squares. In geometry, 60 is the number of seconds in a minute, and the number of minutes in a degree. In normal space, the 3 interior angles of an equilateral triangle each measure 60 degrees, adding up to 180 degrees.
Because 60 is divisible by the sum of its digits in base 10, it is a Harshad number. A number system with base 60 is called sexagesimal (the original meaning of sexagesimal is sixtieth).
The atomic number of Neodymium is 60.
Sixty is one of the most fascinating numbers. The Babylonian number system had a base of sixty, inherited from the Sumerian and Akkadian civilizations, and possibly motivated by the large number of divisors which 60 has. The sexagesimal measurement of time and of geometric angles is a legacy of the Babylonian system.
The number system in the Mali Empire was also based on sixty (this is reflected in the counting system of the Maasina Fulfulde, a variant of the Fula language spoken in contemporary Mali). The Ekagi of Western New Guinea have also used base 60 and the sexagenary cycle also plays a role in Chinese calendar and numerology.
In the Bible, the number 60 occurs several times, for example as the age of Isaac when Jacob and Esau were born and the number of warriors escorting King Solomon. In the laws of kashrut of Judaism, 60 is also the proportion (60:1) of kosher to non-kosher ingredients which can render an admixture kosher post-facto.
In the Koran, the number 60 is mentioned once: '..he should feed sixty indigent ones..', yet 60 is mentioned many times in the Hadith, most notably Muhammad being reported to say, '..Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created Adam in His own image with His length of sixty cubits.
In time, the number of seconds in a minute, and the number of minutes in an hour. (a legacy of the Babylonian number system). The number of miles per hour a car accelerates to from rest (0-60) as one of the standard measurements of performance. 60 is the code for international direct dial calls to Malaysia.

Despite being related to the word 'four' (4), 40 is spelled 'forty', and not 'fourty'. The reason is that etymologically (also in accents without the horse\u2013hoarse merger), the words have different vowels, 'forty' containing a contraction in the same way that 'fifty' contains a contraction of 'five'. This makes it the only number which, when spelled out in full, has its letters in alphabetical order.
Forty is an octagonal number, and as the sum of the first four pentagonal numbers, it is a pentagonal pyramidal number. Adding up some subsets of its divisors (e.g., 1, 4, 5, 10 and 20) gives 40, hence 40 is a semiperfect number.

WD-40 is the trademark name of a lubricant, penetrating oil and water-displacing spray. It was developed in 1953 by Norm Larsen, founder of the Rocket Chemical Company, in San Diego, California. WD-40, abbreviated from the phrase 'Water Displacement, 40th formula,' was originally designed to repel water and prevent corrosion, and later was found to have numerous household uses.
Larsen was attempting to create a formula to prevent corrosion in nuclear missiles, by displacing the standing water that causes it. He claims he arrived at a successful formula on his 40th attempt. WD-40 is primarily composed of various hydrocarbons.

Saint Etienne are an English electronic music band from London, formed in 1990. The band consists of Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs. They are named of course after the French football team AS Saint-\u00c9tienne
Saint Etienne were associated with the 'indie dance' genre in the early 1990s. Their typical approach was to combine sonic elements of the dance-pop that emerged in the wake of the so-called Second Summer of Love (e.g. samples and digitally synthesized sounds) with an emphasis on songwriting involving romantic and introspective themes more commonly associated with traditional British pop and rock music.
Early work demonstrated the influence of '60s soul, '70s dub and rock as well as '80s dance music, giving them a broad palette of sounds and a reputation for eclecticism. Years later, The Times wrote that they 'deftly fused the grooviness of Swinging Sixties London with a post-acid house backbeat'. Their first two albums, Foxbase Alpha and So Tough feature sounds chiefly associated with house music, such as standard TR-909 drum patterns and Italo house piano riffs mixed with original sounds, notable by the use of found dialogue, sampled from 1960s British realist cinema. Some of these earlier recordings included skits by (Brass Eye) satirist Chris Morris.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, with the 2012 event spanning 25 days totalling over 2,695 shows from 47 countries in 279 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Scotland's capital, in the month of August. The Fringe is a showcase for the performing arts, particularly theatre and comedy (which has seen substantial growth in recent years), although dance and music are also represented. In 2012, 36% of shows were comedy and 28% theatrical productions. Theatrical productions range from the classics of ancient Greece to William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and contemporary works. In 2012, 1,418 shows were having their world premiere.
The Fringe is an unjuried festival \u2013 with no selection committee, and therefore any type of performance may participate. The Fringe has often showcased experimental works that might not be invited to a more conservative arts festival. In addition to ticketed, programmed events, the Festival has included a street fair, located primarily on the Royal Mile. The Festival is organized by the Festival Fringe Society, which publishes the programme, sells tickets, and offers advice to performers. Their offices are on the Royal Mile.

Eleven is the first number which cannot be counted with a human's ten fingers. In English, it is the smallest positive integer requiring three syllables and the largest prime number with a single-morpheme name. Its etymology originates from a Germanic compound ainlif meaning 'one left'.
If a number is divisible by 11, reversing its digits will result in another multiple of 11. As long as no two adjacent digits of a number added together exceed 9, then multiplying the number by 11, reversing the digits of the product, and dividing that new number by 11, will yield a number that is the reverse of the original number. (For example: 142,312 x 11 = 1,565,432. 2,345,651 / 11 = 213,241.)
Because it has a reciprocal of unique period length among primes, 11 is the second unique prime. 11 goes into 99 exactly 9 times, so vulgar fractions with 11 in the denominator have two digit repeating sequences in their decimal expansions. Multiples of eleven by one-digit numbers all have matching double digits: 00 (=0), 11, 22, 33, 44, etc. Bob Dorough, in his Schoolhouse Rock song 'The Good Eleven', called them 'Double-digit doogies' (soft g). Eleven is the Aliquot sum of one number, the discrete semiprime 21 and is the base of the 11-aliquot tree.
Eleven is the atomic number of sodium. After Judas Iscariot was disgraced, the remaining apostles of Jesus were sometimes described as 'the Eleven'
this occurred even after Matthias was added to bring the number to twelve, as in Acts 2:14.

17 is the third Fermat prime, as it is of the form 24 + 1, and it is also a Proth prime. Since 17 is a Fermat prime, regular heptadecagons can be constructed with compass and unmarked ruler. This was proven by Carl Friedrich Gauss. Another consequence of 17 being a Fermat prime is that it is not a Higgs prime for squares or cubes
in fact, it is the smallest prime not to be a Higgs prime for squares, and the smallest not to be a Higgs prime for cubes.
17 is the only positive Genocchi number that is prime, the only negative one being \u22123. It is also the third Stern prime.

One is a number, a numeral, and the name of the glyph representing that number. It represents a single entity, the unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of 'unit length' is a line segment of length 1.
Any number multiplied by one is the number, as one is the identity for multiplication. As a result, one is its own factorial, its own square, its own cube, and so on. One is also the empty product, as any number multiplied by one is itself, which produces the same result as multiplying by no numbers at all. So pretty unique.
The glyph used today in the Western world to represent the number 1, a vertical line, often with a serif at the top and sometimes a short horizontal line at the bottom, traces its roots back to the Indians, who wrote 1 as a horizontal line, much like the Chinese character. The Gupta wrote it as a curved line, and the Nagari sometimes added a small circle on the left (rotated a quarter turn to the right, this 9-look-alike became the present day numeral 1 in the Gujarati and Punjabi scripts).
The Nepali also rotated it to the right but kept the circle small. This eventually became the top serif in the modern numeral, but the occasional short horizontal line at the bottom probably originates from similarity with the Roman numeral \\mathrm{I}.
In some European countries (e.g., Germany), the little serif at the top is sometimes extended into a long upstroke, sometimes as long as the vertical line, which can lead to confusion with the glyph for seven in other countries. Where the 1 is written with a long upstroke, the number 7 has a horizontal stroke through the vertical line.
One is the atomic number of the element hydrogen, the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard is numbered 01 and a one can be found on every traditional British red telephone box. Where I found this shot with my iphone Hipstamatic app.

Candleland is the first solo album by Ian McCulloch, released 17 September 1989. This album marked McCulloch's departure from Echo &
the Bunnymen in 1989. The album features a guest appearance by the Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser on the title song, 'Candleland'. The album reached number 18 on the UK Albums Chart and number 179 on the Billboard 200.
The blossom this spring is truly breathtaking. Heaps of dazzling white blackthorn flowers look like piles of snow dropped on to hedgerows, and stunning white or pink cherry blossoms have turned parks and gardens into a magical wonderland.
Conditions for the blossom have been near perfect, with plenty of warm sunshine and hardly a wisp of wind, drop of rain or touch of frost to ruin the blooms. And even the winter weather played a part, with the bitter cold in late January and early February boosting the growth of many trees and shrubs, and which will help the crops of fruits and berries later in the year.
The magnificent symphony of spring is well under way, each plant opening its leaves and flowers in a remarkable choreography. A green mist is now enveloping hedges and woods as the early tree and shrub leaves \u2013 such as hawthorns, elders, hornbeams and weeping willows \u2013 burst open.
Woodland floors are also turning green as carpets of plant leaves pop up, decorated with splashes of bright woodland flowers glistening in the spring sunshine, such as wood anemone, lesser celandine and dog violets. Even the first bluebells are peeking through in some southern parts of England.

Eight, A number is divisible by 8 if its last 3 digits are also divisible by 8.
Eight is the first number to be the aliquot sum of two numbers other than itself
the discrete biprime 10, and the square number 49.
8 is the base of the octal number system, which is mostly used with computers. In octal, one digit represents 3 bits. In modern computers, a byte is a grouping of eight bits, also called an octet.
The number 8 is a Fibonacci number, being 3 plus 5. The next Fibonacci number is 13. 8 is the only positive Fibonacci number, aside from 1, that is a perfect cube.
The number eight is considered to be a lucky number in Chinese and other Asian cultures. Hanukkah is a Jewish festival holiday that lasts eight days and eight nights.

The word 'twelve' is the largest number with a single-morpheme name in English. Etymology suggests that 'twelve' (similar to 'eleven') arises from the Germanic compound twalif 'two-leftover', so a literal translation would yield 'two remaining [after having ten taken]'. This compound meaning may have been transparent to speakers of Old English, but the modern form 'twelve' is quite opaque. Only the remaining tw- hints that twelve and two are related.
A group of twelve things is called a duodecad. The ordinal adjective is duodenary, twelfth. The adjective referring to a group consisting of twelve things is duodecuple.
The number twelve is often used as a sales unit in trade, and is often referred to as a dozen. Twelve dozen are known as a gross. (Note that there are thirteen items in a baker's dozen.). the expression 'baker's dozen' dates to the 13th century in one of the earliest English statutes, instituted during the reign of Henry III (1216\u20131272), called the Assize of Bread and Ale. Bakers who were found to have shortchanged customers (some variations say that they would sell hollow bread) could be subject to severe punishment. To guard against the punishment of losing a hand to an axe, a baker would give 13 for the price of 12, to be certain of not being known as a cheat. Specifically, the practice of baking 13 items for an intended dozen was insurance against 'short measure', on the basis that one of the 13 could be lost, eaten, burnt, or ruined in some way, leaving the baker with the original legal dozen. The practice can be seen in the guild codes of the Worshipful Company of Bakers in London.
Force 12 on the Beaufort wind force scale corresponds to the maximum wind speed of a hurricane. The duodenum (from Latin duodecim, 'twelve') is the first part of the small intestine, that is about twelve inches (30 cm) long. More precisely, this section of the intestine was measured not in inches but in fingerwidths. In fact, in German the name of the duodenum is Zw\u00f6lffingerdarm and in Dutch the name is twaalfvingerige darm, both meaning 'twelve-finger bowel'.
The importance of 12 in Judaism and Christianity can be found in the Bible. The biblical Jacob had 12 sons, who were the progenitors of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, while the New Testament describes twelve apostles of Jesus
when Judas Iscariot was disgraced, a meeting was held (Acts) to add Matthias to complete the number twelve once more. (Today, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.). In Orthodox Judaism, 12 also signifies the age a girl matures (bat mitzvah)
In Twelver Shi'a Islam, there are twelve Imams, legitimate successors of the prophet Muhammad. These twelve early leaders of Islam are\u2014Ali, Hasan, Husayn, and nine of Husayn's descendants. The Chinese use a 12 year cycle for time-reckoning called Earthly Branches.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Everyone over 45 has probbaly got a copy of this. Everyone under should download it, as you will recognise most of the tracks.
Rumours is the eleventh studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. Largely recorded in California during 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut and was released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros. Records. The record peaked at the top of both the main United States Billboard chart and the United Kingdom Albums Chart. 'Go Your Own Way', 'Don't Stop', 'Dreams', and 'You Make Loving Fun' were released as singles.
A Grammy Award winner, Rumours is Fleetwood Mac's most successful release with sales of over 40 million copies worldwide.
The band wanted to expand on the commercial success of the 1975 record Fleetwood Mac, but struggled with relationship breakups before recording started. The Rumours studio sessions were marked by hedonistic behaviour and interpersonal strife between Fleetwood Mac members
these experiences informed the album's lyrics. Influenced by pop music, the record's tracks were recorded using a combination of acoustic and electric instruments.
The mixing process delayed the completion of Rumours, but was finished by the end of 1976. Following the album's release in 1977, Fleetwood Mac undertook worldwide promotional tours.
Rumours garnered widespread critical acclaim. Praise centred on its production quality and harmonies, which frequently relied on the interplay among three vocalists. The record has inspired the work of musical acts in different genres. Often considered Fleetwood Mac's best release, it has featured in several publications' lists of the best albums of the 1970s and the best albums of all time.
In 2004, Rumours was remastered and reissued with the addition of an extra track and a bonus CD of outtakes from the recording sessions.
Its lyrics have provided me with inspiration at various times in my life, when I have needed to think about tomorrow. 'Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone. Don't you look back'. Wise advice.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Fingerprintz were a criminally neglected 1980's pop band from Scotland. I will be very surprised if any of my commenters recognise this gem. Cmon people, prove me wrong, particularly those north of the border.
While enjoying a jammy Bakewell tart in Sugar Junction, Tib Street Manchester, I found this perfect excuse to dig out this ipod track. Cheers Freddie, top cafe and wow, custard too. How much better can life get?
Get yourself over there if in the city, the only place for a vintage tea party.
Fingerprintz were vocalist Jimme O'Neill and guitarist Cha Burns who got together in London's late 70's new wave music scene. O'Neill wrote songs for Paul Young and Lene Lovich, while Burns played guitar in Adam Ant's backing band during 1982-1984 together with Fingerprintz drummer Bogdan Wiczling. O'Neill, who, in the mid 1970s, had worked for a time as a clerical assistant in the Department of Health and Social Security, released a single for Oval Records in 1975, 'Achin' in My Heart'/'Cold on Me', under the name Jimme Shelter (a throwback to the song, 'Gimme Shelter' by The Rolling Stones).
Fingerprintz, released three albums The Very Dab, Distinguishing Marks and Beat Noir. They earned some critical recognition and notable appearances on John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show and the BBC's In Concert radio series. The group split in 1985.
They re-emerged in 1988 as 'The Silencers'. They toured Europe with 'The Alarm'. The single 'Painted Moon' became a radio hit in the UK

Manchester Town Hall is a Victorian, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. It is the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse the town hall was completed in 1877. The building occupies a triangular site facing Albert Square and contains offices and grand ceremonial rooms such as the Great Hall which is decorated with the imposing Manchester Murals by Ford Madox Brown illustrating the history of the city. The entrance and Sculpture Hall contain busts and statues of influential figures including Dalton, Joule and Barbirolli. The exterior is dominated by the clock tower which rises to 87 metres (285 feet) and houses Great Abel, the clock bell.
In 1938, a detached Town Hall Extension was completed and is connected by two covered bridges over Lloyd Street. The town hall, which was granted Grade I listed building status on 25 February 1952, is regarded as one of the finest interpretations of Gothic revival architecture in the world

Photobooth was the first EP from St Albans dance punk lads Friendly Fires in mid 2006. It more or less slipped under the radar until the bands full first album came out. The name Friendly Fires originates from the opening track of the Manchester Factory label 'Section 25' LP 'Always Now'. (Maybe a track from them later in this series).
The first self titled album was certified double gold in the UK. The band was nominated for a Best Breakthrough Award at The South Bank Show Awards and for \u2018Best Dancefloor Filler\u2019 at the NME Awards. They were also second on the bill on the NME Awards Tour 2009.
On 21 July 2009, the band was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. On 19 January 2010, the band was nominated for two Brit Awards
Best British Group and British Breakthrough Act.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4653781013 - 'Albert Square is a public square in the centre of Manchester, England. It is dominated by its largest building, Manchester Town Hall Grade I, a Victorian Gothic building by Alfred Waterhouse and previously in the opposite corner by the Square Albert, a Tetleys pub.
Albert Memorial, a monument to Prince Albert, Prince consort of Queen Victoria is in the square. The square, also named after the Prince, was originally laid out to provide a space for this memorial in 1863\u201367. Work on the new town hall began in 1868 and was completed in 1877. On the top of the clock tower is a golden cotton seed, the symbol of teh source of Manchester City and its cottonopolis prosperity.
The creation of the square arose out of a project by Manchester Corporation's Monuments Committee to erect a memorial to Prince Albert who had unexpectedly died of typhoid in 1861. After some initial proposals to create a memorial library, museum or botanical gardens, the committee decided to erect a statue in a decorated canopy. It was originally planned to place the monument in Piccadilly Gardens, but it was felt that its ornate design was not in keeping with the surrounding buildings. In 1863, land was offered by the Corporation which was cleared to make way for a public space.
The project won much public support
the Manchester Bricklayers' Protection Society donated 50,000 bricks towards the construction of the monument, 'as an expression of sympathy towards our beloved Queen'. When construction problems arose (the site was found to be riddled with drains and culverts) and these bricks were used up on the foundations alone, a further public subscription was launched in 1865 and a further \u00a36,249 was raised, in spite of the hardships of the Cotton Famine.
The Memorial is topped with an ornate spire, and on each side a crocketed gable with canopied pinnacles on colonettes. Within the canopies stand symbolic figures representing art, commerce, science and agriculture. Below these stand secondary figures representing particular disciplines
The Four Arts: painting, architecture, music, sculpture
Commerce: the Four Continents
The Four Sciences: chemistry, astronomy, mechanics, mathematics
Agriculture: the Four Seasons.
In the town hall, despite its medieval styling, the building was designed to support the practical technologies of the 19th century. These included gas lighting, and a warm-air heating system, which provided fresh air drawn through ornamental stone air inlets placed below the windows and admitted behind the hot water pipes and 'coils' of rooms. Warmed, fresh air was also fed into the stairwells and through hollow shafts within the spiral staircases in order to ventilate the corridors. The pipes that supplied the gas for the lighting were ingeniously concealed underneath the banister rails of the spiral staircases.
While not quite as grand as the hotel de ville in Brussels or similar buildings in Europe, the town hall in Manchester proclaimed that the city had 'arrived'. A saying capturing this sense of innovation survives today: 'What Manchester does today, the rest of the world does tomorrow. Although I do not think they were in fact refering to Bez of the Happy Mondays when they coined that :-)

THES - QS World University Rankings has consistently ranked University of Edinburgh as the best university in Scotland, and one of the five best universities in UK.
The university played an important role leading the city of Edinburgh to its reputation as a chief intellectual centre during the Age of Enlightenment, and helped give the city the nickname of the Athens of the north.
Alumni of the university include some of the major figures of modern history. The founding of the University is attributed to Bishop Robert Reid of St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney, who left the funds on his death in 1558 that ultimately provided the University's endowment. The University was established by a Royal Charter granted by James VI in 1582, becoming the fourth Scottish university at a time when the neighbour neighbour to the south, England, had only two..

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A9GHTD - A walk along a Glasgow street nowadays doesn't just reflect the city's rich heritage - it reveals how multi-cultural a place it now is.
Last week this column highlighted the church in the West End where Polish soldiers worshipped during World War 2.
There are representatives of almost every country on earth in Glasgow - and most have left their mark.
A walk across Jamaica Street bridge reveals one of the most striking and dramatic images.
Painted on a black wall on Clyde Street is a massive piece of graffiti art depicting a tiger, commissioned in 2010 to mark the Chinese Year of the Tiger.
The tiger is shown chasing a large ball of string and the mural is wrapped round three walls so it can be seen folded in on itself.
But it wasn't the city's Chinese community that commissioned the piece - it was the idea of the Singapore-based Tiger Beer company.
A plaque on the wall beside the tiger explains the reasoning behind what was called the Tiger Lucky Eight project.
It says: Tiger Beer has commissioned a unique series of collaborations curated by Josef Valentine across the UK to celebrate 2010 the Year of the Tiger. Five of these represent the elements of the Chinese zodiac: Water, Earth, Wood, Fire and Metal.
This mural, depicting Fire, was designed and produced by McFaul Studio, whose creative director John McFaul's family hail from the city of Glasgow.
The mural is close to the South Portland Street suspension bridge and strikingly visible from the south bank of the river.
It took the McFaul workers three days to complete the project and a time-lapse Youtube video shows the work from beginning to end in two minutes, 20 seconds.
The end result is an epic, psychedelic, fiery piece of work.
The Lucky Eight project also saw murals being completed in Birmingham, Brighton, London and Manchester

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4468213250 - 'Rehearsal with conductor Jeremy Jackman prior to the candlelight concert by the English Baroque Choir. St Martins is in the north east corner of Trafalgar Square, central London. The patron saint is Martin of Tours.
It is a classic church, a bit of peace from the noise and traffic of Westminster. Its pretty much rectangular with Corinthian style columns. As can be seen here, the ceiling is lovely and provides a warm glow inside. The large window at the altar has an interesting distortion.
There was a lot of work done between 2006-2008 to renovate different parts of the structure. The new East Window installed above the altar at St Martin in the Fields was one element. Designed by Shirazeh Houshiary, in collaboration with architect Pip Horne. This window replacing the old window (following World War II bomb damage) marked the final stage of the church's Renewal Project on 28 April 2008.
Donations are always welcome however and I noticed it is still possible to sponsor a pane of glass and 'Give light to St Martin's'. It offers social care services to London's Chinese community and homeless people.

Lymm Cross is in the village of Lymm, Cheshire, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.
The cross dates from the early to the middle 17th century and it was restored in 1897. It is constructed of sandstone and stands on an artificially stepped natural outcrop of red sandstone. Its shaft stands in a square pavilion of red sandstone with square corner pillars. It has a stone roof with a pedimented gable to each face and ball finials.
Above the cross is an extension which carries a stone ball and an ornate weather vane. On the east, south and west gables are bronze sundials of 1897 carrying the inscriptions We are a Shadow, Save Time and Think of the Last

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3875567348 - 'A wedding image in blue toned black and white monochrome within the great neogothic town hall in Manchester, which is a designated site for marriage ceremonies.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1877 as a town hall for a prosperous emerging city, the building features imposing murals by the artist Ford Madox Brown depicting important events in the history of the city. The Town Hall was rated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building in 1952 and the Town Hall Extension, completed in 1938, was Grade II* listed in 1974.
The choice of Albert Square as location was influenced by a desire to provide a central, accessible, but relatively quiet site in a respectable district, close to Manchester's banks and municipal offices, next to a large open area, suitable for the display of a fine building.
The foundation stone of the new Town Hall was laid on 26th October 1868 by the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Robert Neill. The Town Hall was opened by Lord Mayor Abel Heywood, on 13 September 1877, after Queen Victoria's snubbed the city and refusal to attend the opening.
As you enter on the floor is a mosaic depicting the bee, the symbol of Manchester's being a hive of industry during the 19th century. The bee also used be on the Boddingtons beer logo. A history going back to 1778 was ended when last family chairman Ewart Boddington sold the Strangeways brewery and the Boddingtons brand to Whitbread for \u00a350.7 million. In May 2000, the Whitbread Beer Company was acquired by brewing conglomerate Interbrew. In 2004 brewing was moved from the original site next to Manchester's main victorian prison. Cask Boddingtons is still brewed in Manchester however, at teh former Kestral Lager brewary at Moss Side.
Reasuringly the town hall tower is still topped by a golden cotton seed ball, the original source of the city's wealth. That will not go the way of Strangeways brewery.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P307AA - Stock photograph shows a colourful exterior flower stall outside Altrincham Market and Market House on Greenwood Street, Altrincham, Trafford, Greater Manchester. The scene captures a busy open retail space with cut flowers, potted plants, market gazebos, shoppers, visitors, paving, street furniture and the timber-framed modern canopy of the outdoor market. The overcast sky gives soft, even daylight, useful for editorial features about high street regeneration, local shopping, independent traders, town centre footfall, food markets, flower sales, urban design and successful retail placemaking in North West England. Altrincham is often used as a case study in the revival of a struggling town centre, where food, drink, events, specialist retail, leisure and public realm improvements have helped create a more attractive destination than a conventional chain-store shopping street. The photograph can illustrate the contrast between older market traditions and contemporary market-hall culture, with flowers and plants adding colour, seasonality and human scale to the streetscape. The Market House is a Grade II listed building and the market's roots are linked to Altrincham's long history as a Cheshire market town, with the charter tradition dating back to the medieval period. The image has useful stock value for stories on Trafford Council, Greater Manchester retail policy, independent small businesses, weekend shopping, local tourism, market-led regeneration, town centre economics, community spaces, public markets, pedestrian-friendly streets, outdoor trading, British flower buying and urban lifestyle. Visible shoppers and casual browsing suit articles on consumer confidence, local enterprise, healthy town centres, civic investment, family days out, sustainable economies, walkable neighbourhoods and the appeal of fresh produce, plants and artisan stalls in a public square

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNN55B - St Mary's Church is an Anglican parish church in Nantwich, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It has been called the Cathedral of South Cheshire and it is considered by some to be one of the finest medieval churches, not only in Cheshire, but in the whole of England. The architectural writer Raymond Richards described it as one of the great architectural treasures of Cheshire, and Alec Clifton-Taylor included it in his list of outstanding English parish churches.
The building dates from the 14th century, although a number of changes have since been made, particularly a substantial 19th-century restoration by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The church and its octagonal tower are built in red sandstone. Features of the church's interior include the lierne-vaulted ceiling of the choir, the carved stone canopies of the sedilia in the chancel, and the intricately carved wooden canopies over the choirstalls together with the 20 misericords at the back of the stalls. The church is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield and the deanery of Nantwich
The last major work to be carried out on the church was in 1878, under the direction of local architect Thomas Bower, when the south porch was restored at a cost of £900.
The church is built in red sandstone and is cruciform in shape. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with north and south aisles, a south porch with two storeys, a central tower, north and south transepts, and a three-bay chancel, to the north of which is a two-storey treasury. The tower is square below and octagonal above. Both transepts are of three bays and the northernmost bay of the north transept was formerly a Lady chapel. The other two bays were dedicated to Saint George. The south transept was known as the Kingsley Chapel

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTNA3R - THERE is good news for electric vehicle drivers in and around Warrington, as the council has announced free electric charging at its Time Square car park and Warrington West station.
The initiative, which has been confirmed for at least the next six months, will help to support those who are making the switch from petrol and diesel to electric.
There are currently 56 charging points at the Time Square car park one of the highest number of charging points in a single location in the country with another 12 charging points available at the new Warrington West station.
The move to offering free electric vehicle charging comes after the council's climate emergency declaration in June.
The plans to encourage electric vehicle travel also support the council's Air Quality Action Plan, which aims to reduce nitrogen dioxide levels within the main, busy traffic routes leading into and around the town.
Cllr Judith Guthrie, cabinet member for environment, who drives an electric car herself, said: It's great news that I'm able to announce free charging points for electric vehicle users here in Warrington. We're committed to doing all we can to help people become more environmentally-friendly in and around the borough - more at https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/18243487.free-electric-vehicle-charging-points-warrington-west-time-square-car-parks/

The new car park, which was due to open
in December 2017, is a great example of
how architects and contractors can work in
partnership with Maple to transform typically
dull and utilitarian buildings into an integral and
aesthetically appealing part of the urban realm.
With its hexagon-featured golden façade, the
car park complements the other elements of
the £107m Time Square development.
The new car park is an integral and important
part of the Time Square project as it will
underpin and support the whole scheme, said
the leader of Warrington Borough Council, Terry
O'Neill.
Architect's ratings
Leach Rhodes Walker described us as excellent'
after the successful collaboration. Maple's
knowledge and craftsmanship was excellent
throughout, said LRW's lead project designer,
Ka Yin Man. From when we spoke to sales
about the commercials, to (dealing with) the
design and projects teams, the whole experience
was collaborative. In a post-project interview,
the architects' firm gave us top marks for design
services, project support, meeting deadlines
and the quality of the finished product. Added
Ka Yin: Maple were always helpful, and any
questions were dealt with promptly. Everyone
was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
The end result was even better than expected
The project was one of the first to use the new
dedicated prototype area at Maple's factory in
Stockport. The architects and contractors I & H
Brown Construction were able to view real-life
examples of the bespoke perforated panels and
golden hexagon cut-outs - at actual size. The
prototypes were powder-coated in the specified
colour, and fitted to the display framework using
actual fittings - meaning that any changes to the
design or specification could be made without
it having a major impact on timings or budget

It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and described in the list as one of the finest surviving 18th-century town halls. The authors of the Buildings of England series refer to its magnificent scale, and consider it to be probably the grandest ...suite of civic rooms in the country, and an outstanding and complete example of late Georgian decoration.
It is not an administrative building but a civic suite, Lord Mayor's parlour and Council chamber
local government administration is centred at the nearby Municipal Buildings. The town hall was built between 1749 and 1754 to a design by John Wood the Elder replacing an earlier town hall nearby. An extension to the north designed by James Wyatt was added in 1785. Following a fire in 1795 the hall was largely rebuilt and a dome designed by Wyatt was built. Minor alterations have subsequently been made. The streets surrounding its site have altered since its initiation, notably when viewed from Castle Street, the south-side, it appears as off-centre. This is because Water Street which ran to the junction with Dale Street, the west-east axis, was continuous and built up across the junction so that the Town Hall was not visible originally from that aspect. The structures were removed 150 years after this to expose the building from this position.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CBKNAP - VINCI Construction,New Market Hall, Warrington Town Centre Redevelopment, Time Square,Academy Way,Warrington,Cheshire,England,UK, WA1 gives a direct editorial record of a recognisable subject, with location, signage, architecture or everyday behaviour carrying much of the meaning. VINCI Construction at Warrington's Time Square redevelopment points to the visible machinery of town-centre regeneration, where hoardings, cranes and contractors reshape streets long before the marketing images arrive. The subject can illustrate urban renewal, public-private development, construction jobs, market halls, council-led regeneration, retail change and the risk and promise attached to rebuilding civic centres. The location detail, Warrington, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. Relevant editorial themes include indoor market, retail market, independent traders and food hall, with each theme rooted in the visible subject, place or activity. For buyers, the strength lies in the combination of a named subject, a lived-in setting and enough visual specificity to carry stories about how places are used, remembered, funded, visited or contested.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H6ETR8 - Castle Square, historic Aberdeen, The Granite city, North East Scotland at dusk, UK is a useful documentary subject because it fixes a recognisable place, object or activity in its real setting rather than presenting it as a staged illustration. Castle Square in Aberdeen at dusk shows the Granite City's austere stone character softened by evening light and urban activity. The subject can support stories about north-east Scotland, oil-city identity, retail streets, night-time economy, civic space, tourism and the resilience of historic centres facing changing commercial patterns. Low light, dusk or night conditions add atmosphere and make the subject useful for evening economy, safety and seasonal weather contexts. The location detail, Aberdeen, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. It would suit newspaper, magazine, web, council, transport, heritage, housing, retail, travel or social-commentary use where a believable, unpolished view of real life is more valuable than a generic illustration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY3RNE - Warrington Bus Station,interchange,town centre,Cheshire,England,UK is a useful documentary subject because it fixes a recognisable place, object or activity in its real setting rather than presenting it as a staged illustration. The scene records a specific piece of everyday place-based detail, the sort of subject that often says more about local identity, work, leisure, transport or consumption than a polished landmark view would. Its value is in the recognisable setting, readable clues and documentary directness, making it useful for editorial coverage of changing streets, public services, heritage, retail habits and ordinary life in Britain and beyond. The location detail, Warrington, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F0XDX1 - This documentary stock photograph shows Berlin city Cycle illuminated pedal Rickshaw / taxi, at night, Germany - lights on. The image records an illuminated cycle rickshaw or pedal taxi at night, making it useful for editorial features on Berlin nightlife, tourist transport, theatre districts, sustainable travel and illuminated city leisure. Berlin is a city where ordinary street details often carry heavy layers of history, from Prussian and imperial architecture to the Weimar period, Nazi rule, wartime destruction, division, the DDR, reunification, tourism, gentrification and contemporary creative culture. The caption and visible subject detail provide a specific point of entry into that wider story rather than a generic German city view. Buyers could use the photograph for articles about Berlin travel, Cold War memory, street art, museum interpretation, urban nightlife, river sightseeing, architecture, souvenir culture, public transport, pedestrian design or the way history is repackaged in modern tourism. Search-friendly composite terms include Berlin Mitte street art, DDR surveillance display, Berlin Fernsehturm skyline, River Spree pleasure boat, Ampelmann crossing light, Berliner Dom interior, Berlin urban culture and German capital tourism. If the subject is graffiti, it can illustrate the city as a living wall of political humour, youth culture, commercial branding and layered paste-ups. If it is heritage or church architecture, it can support more formal travel, culture, history and education uses. If it is a boat, toy or street sign, it gives editors an accessible human-scale route into a large city story. The documentary style keeps the image credible for web, magazine, guidebook, education, museum, travel, urban policy, politics, design, consumer and social commentary use. Its strength for Alamy search is the mix of precise caption wording and broader Berlin themes, allowing it to be found for both narrow subject searches and wider.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HCNH - The stem of Lymm Cross is supported by four pillars and surmounted by gables and finials bearing the legends Save Time', Think of the Last' and We are a Shadow'. There are also three sundials on the West, South and East faces.
Crosses were originally there to remind people of their commitment to God - with the name and sometimes the shape of the structures clearly a reference to Christ's crucifixion.
They have also had many practical uses such as road and boundary markers, memorials and preaching places.
However, the purpose of the one at Lymm is a mystery. Many have commented that it resembles a market cross in a market square but there is no evidence that there has ever been a market there.
Others have suggested it used to be a place of worship before the village had its own church.
Joe added: It is a focal point of the village where everything happens. It is where the town crier does his proclamations and it is a common meeting point.
I recently did some history talks for local schools and all the children knew The Cross and had all played on The Cross.
It gives Lymm a sense of identity and is a prominent landmark for people to associate with.
