Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F12E21 - A rainbow Pride flag flies from The Pepperpot, Godalming's former town hall and market building, at the junction of High Street and Church Street in the historic centre of the Surrey town. The colourful LGBTQ symbol projects from the pale stuccoed upper floor, contrasting with the Georgian civic architecture, blue summer sky and large white clouds. Hanging flower baskets decorate the open ground-floor arcade, while independent shops and traditional buildings frame the pedestrianised streetscape.
Built in 1814 to a design by local architect John Perry, The Pepperpot replaced an earlier timber-framed market house on a site associated with local government, justice and commerce for centuries. The compact two-storey building has an elongated octagonal plan, round-headed arches, rusticated columns, a Welsh slate roof and a central clock tower crowned by a cupola, bell, dome and weather vane. Its unusual silhouette inspired the affectionate Pepperpot name. The Grade II listed landmark formerly accommodated the council chamber, court and town lock-up, with markets operating beneath its arches. After the council moved out in 1908, the upper room later housed Godalming Museum and remains available for community use, while small markets continue below.
The Pride flag adds a contemporary message of equality, LGBTQ visibility, acceptance and belonging to one of Godalming's most recognisable heritage buildings. Flying the rainbow colours from a historic civic landmark can represent public solidarity with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people, connecting modern ideas of inclusion and human rights with the traditional centre of local community life. The scene combines social documentary, British civic identity, LGBTQ representation, Georgian architecture, Surrey tourism and the changing use of historic public buildings. The Pepperpot remains a prominent meeting point and visual emblem of Godalming, a market town in Waverley borough in south-east England

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RBXAR0 - A tamping machine or ballast tamper, informally simply a tamper, is a self-propelled, rail-mounted machine used to pack (or tamp) the track ballast under railway tracks to make the tracks and roadbed more durable and level. Prior to the introduction of mechanical tampers, this task was done by manual labour with the help of beaters. As well as being faster, more accurate, more efficient and less labour-intensive, tamping machines are essential for the use of concrete sleepers since they are too heavy (usually over 250 kg or 550 lb) to be lifted by hand.
At its most basic, a tamping machine only packs the ballast. Some modern machines, sometimes known as tamper-liners or tamping and lining machines, also correct the alignment of the rails to make them parallel and level, in order to achieve a more comfortable ride for passengers and freight and to reduce the mechanical strain applied to the rails by passing trains. This is done by finding places where the sleepers have sunk from the weight of the passing trains or frost action, causing the track to sag. The tamper lifts each sleeper and the rails up, and packs ballast underneath. When the sleeper is laid down again, the sagged rails now sit at the proper level. Combining tamping and lining into a single machine saves time and money, as only one machine needs to be run over the track to perform both functions.
Tampers frequently work in concert with ballast regulators, as part of a section crew.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGJW6W - A bronze public sculpture titled Alice Through the Looking Glass by artist Jeanne Argent, depicting the literary character Alice reaching forward in a moment of transition and discovery. The figure is presented emerging through a curved, glass-like frame, referencing Lewis Carroll's classic Victorian children's novel Through the Looking-Glass, part of the wider Alice in Wonderland stories. The expressive pose and stylised form emphasise imagination, curiosity, and the crossing of boundaries between reality and fantasy.
The sculpture is installed outdoors in a landscaped garden setting in Guildford, Surrey, surrounded by greenery and hedging, which enhances the dreamlike quality of the work. Jeanne Argent is known for figurative sculpture that draws on myth, narrative, and human emotion, and this piece reflects the enduring cultural influence of Lewis Carroll's writing on British art and public imagination.
Photographed in daylight during the growing season, the image shows the patinated bronze surface against lush foliage, making it suitable for editorial and commercial uses relating to public art, British sculpture, literary heritage, children's literature, education, tourism, and cultural landmarks in southern England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGJW6Y - A street-level view of The Auction Mart, a distinctive historic building in Godalming, Surrey, now occupied by Godalming Veterinary Surgery. The corner building features traditional brickwork, arched windows, and a prominent turret-style roof structure, giving it a recognisable presence within the town centre streetscape. Clear signage identifies both the historic building name and its current use as a veterinary practice.
Godalming is a historic market town in Surrey, known for its mix of period architecture and independent local services. The reuse of the Auction Mart as a veterinary surgery reflects the adaptive use of older town-centre buildings to support contemporary community needs, in this case providing animal healthcare and veterinary services for pets and local residents.
The photograph was taken in daylight, with leafy branches framing the upper part of the image, adding a seasonal, summery feel. The image is suitable for editorial and commercial uses illustrating UK veterinary services, local high-street businesses, historic buildings in modern use, and the character of English market towns.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RPCFH7 - A fire bucket is a bucket filled with water or sand which is used to prevent or extinguish fires.
Typically, fire buckets are painted bright red and have the word fire stencilled on them. Often they have a convex, protruding bottom. The rounded bottom results in a strong, directed stream of water when the water is thrown at the fire. The rounded-bottom bucket is far more efficient in launching the water at the fire than a flat bottom bucket.
Fire buckets are a low-technology method of fighting small fires. Although largely superseded by more modern forms of firefighting equipment, they retain some distinct advantages and remain the preferred method for fighting small fires in certain situations. The main advantages of fire buckets are that they are cheap, reliable, easy to use and can be quickly refilled and reinstated.
Normally, they are hung on dedicated fire bucket stands and placed in prominent positions in rooms or corridors, next to ovens or barbecues, and in government accommodation such as army barrack blocks. They are also commonly found in hyperbaric chambers.
Oil fires are resistant to water, but small fires can be effectively extinguished when the sand in the bucket is dumped on the fire to starve it of the oxygen it needs to stay alight. This method of fighting liquid fires has generally been replaced by modern foaming agents.
The sand from a fire bucket can also be used to absorb spills of flammable liquids and render them less dangerous, by reducing the risk of ignition and explosion. Fire buckets are often provided at petrol filling stations to absorb any small fuel spills

We welcome all ages (over 16 please) and all physical and mental abilities. For stone walls, the historical context is that medieval castles can contain several building phases as fortifications were strengthened, domestic accommodation improved and later sections fell into ruin. Looking at party politics, the longer history is that political photographs gain meaning over time as candidates, parties and constitutional debates evolution
A routine campaign scene can later become evidence of a turning point, an unsuccessful candidacy or a movement that developed further. For stone walls, the 2026 context is that castles remain major heritage attractions, but conservation requires continuous work to manage weathering, visitor access and fragile masonry. In 2026, party politics remains relevant because digital campaigning dominates much modern politics, but physical posters, rallies and street demonstrations remain visually important
Their presence highlights the continuing role of public space in democratic expression.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PGAYME - There has been a building on our site since the 1300s although the first mention of the Kings itself is not until 1639. The Georgian frontage was added in 1753 although the size of the building was reduced in the 1890s when a decline in trade resulted in part of the front being turned into a shop. It wasn't until 1936 that the Kings left private ownership and was bought by the Friary Brewery of Guildford which later became part of Allied Breweries.
We've had a few famous guests over the years including Tsar Peter the Great (who left without paying his bill!) as well as some European royalty who met here in 1814 to discuss post war Europe after the Battle of Trafalgar. Tsar Peter the Great's visit is commemorated by a plaque on the front of the building which was unveiled in 1998 by the Russian Ambassador to commemorate the tricentenary of the visit.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG2JAD - A full breakfast is a substantial cooked breakfast meal, often served in the United Kingdom and Ireland, that typically includes bacon, sausages, eggs, black pudding, baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms, toast, and a beverage such as coffee or tea. It appears in different regional variants and is referred to by different names depending on the area. While it is colloquially known as a fry-up in most areas of the United Kingdom and Ireland, it is usually referred to as a full English (often full English breakfast), a full Irish, full Scottish, full Welsh, and Ulster fry, in England, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, respectively.
On its origin, Country Life magazine states, The idea of the English breakfast as a national dish goes right back to the 13th century and the country houses of the gentry. In the old Anglo-Saxon tradition of hospitality, households would provide hearty breakfasts for visiting friends, relatives and neighbours. The fried breakfast became popular in Great Britain and Ireland during the Victorian era, and appears as one among many suggested breakfasts in home economist Isabella Beeton's Book of Household Management (1861). Its popularity soared post“World War II and became a staple of the working class. The protein-centric full breakfast is often contrasted (e.g. on hotel menus) with the lighter, carbohydrate-based alternative of a continental breakfast.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PFA9XY - Situated in the centre of Godalming, Record Corner first opened its doors in 1958 selling new vinyl records to the music lovers of Surrey and beyond. Our purpose was, and remains today, to provide a musical haven for every listener, across all musical genres. We continue to pride ourselves on our ability to offer knowledge and expertise alongside a personal service to every customer - whether they be a classical buff, indie kid or head! We revel in sourcing the obscure, rare, old, as well as new, and as times change and new technologies emerge, so too has Record Corner adapted it's offering to remain at the forefront of music retail.
Over the course of the last year's national lock-downs, we devoted our time to giving the shop the refresh it deserved. With a new coat of paint, upgraded displays and tons of second-hand vinyl, we take great pride in what we have achieved during such difficult times. Perhaps the biggest change of all is our state-of-the-art coffee machine. Being located so close to larger coffee chains, we knew we had to stand out if we were to succeed. After spending time sampling local competition and hiring the best barista in town, we truly believe our coffee is the the most delicious you will find.
As restrictions are slowly being lifted and life is getting back to normal, we look forward to seeing more of our incredible customers coming through our door for a coffee and a browse. We couldn't be more excited about the future of Record Corner - we have so many plans and ideas to see us into the next 60 years that we would love you to be part of.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PGAYH7 - There has been a building on our site since the 1300s although the first mention of the Kings itself is not until 1639. The Georgian frontage was added in 1753 although the size of the building was reduced in the 1890s when a decline in trade resulted in part of the front being turned into a shop. It wasn't until 1936 that the Kings left private ownership and was bought by the Friary Brewery of Guildford which later became part of Allied Breweries.
We've had a few famous guests over the years including Tsar Peter the Great (who left without paying his bill!) as well as some European royalty who met here in 1814 to discuss post war Europe after the Battle of Trafalgar. Tsar Peter the Great's visit is commemorated by a plaque on the front of the building which was unveiled in 1998 by the Russian Ambassador to commemorate the tricentenary of the visit.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PGAYJK - The present building, the oldest in the town, was built in the twelfth century, replacing an earlier Anglo-Saxon church. Two medieval chapels are integrated into the present building. Its core is made from the local sandstone, Bargate stone from the nearby Greensand Ridge, which is found close to the town. Also found around the church is the old Lammas, or 'common', land.
A church has stood on this site since at least the mid-ninth century. It features several carved stones, which are dated between 820 and 840.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG60X6 - Godalming Borough Hall is a municipal building in Bridge Street in Godalming, England. The building is the meeting place of Godalming Town Council.
Following significant population growth, especially after the London and South Western Railway reached the town in 1849, the area became a municipal borough with the Pepper Pot as its town hall in 1875. In May 1907 tenders were invited from contractors to extend the public hall in Bridge Street to the west to create new municipal buildings for the borough. The extension was built in red brick with stone dressings and the work was completed in 1908. The design of the enlarged structure involved an asymmetrical main frontage with ten bays facing onto Bridge Street
the central section of three bays, which slightly projected forward, featured arcading on the ground floor, three sash windows with stone surrounds on the first floor and a pediment above with an oculus in the tympanum. The left hand section featured, in the central bay, a doorway with a canopy on the ground floor and a panel containing the borough coat of arms on the first floor. The right hand section featured, in the end bay which slightly projected forward, a round headed doorway on the ground floor and a tri-part sash window on the first floor with a pediment above.
The building continued to serve as the meeting place of Godalming Borough Council for much of the 20th century, but ceased to be the local seat of government when Waverley Borough Council was formed with its headquarters in Guildford in 1974. Waverley Council moved to new council offices in The Burys just behind the borough hall in 1980. The borough hall subsequently became the meeting place for Godalming Town Council.
Works of art in the borough hall include a portrait by Godfrey Kneller of the locally-born sailor, Admiral Sir John Balchen, who became governor of the Greenwich Naval Hospital in March 1743

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG60XE - There has been a building on our site since the 1300s although the first mention of the Kings itself is not until 1639. The Georgian frontage was added in 1753 although the size of the building was reduced in the 1890s when a decline in trade resulted in part of the front being turned into a shop. It wasn't until 1936 that the Kings left private ownership and was bought by the Friary Brewery of Guildford which later became part of Allied Breweries.
We've had a few famous guests over the years including Tsar Peter the Great (who left without paying his bill!) as well as some European royalty who met here in 1814 to discuss post war Europe after the Battle of Trafalgar. Tsar Peter the Great's visit is commemorated by a plaque on the front of the building which was unveiled in 1998 by the Russian Ambassador to commemorate the tricentenary of the visit.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG610K - The present building, the oldest in the town, was built in the twelfth century, replacing an earlier Anglo-Saxon church. Two medieval chapels are integrated into the present building. Its core is made from the local sandstone, Bargate stone from the nearby Greensand Ridge, which is found close to the town. Also found around the church is the old Lammas, or 'common', land.
A church has stood on this site since at least the mid-ninth century. It features several carved stones, which are dated between 820 and 840. A few Anglo Saxon remnants survive in the present structure, which was largely rebuilt in the twelfth century. In 1086, the Domesday Book recorded that Ranulf Flambard, justiciar of William Rufus, held Godalming church.
The lammas, or common land, complemented a substantial glebe, the funds from which allowed for a grand and spacious structure to be built.
First built during the Anglo-Saxon and early Norman periods, the structure has been proven in ecclesiastical records to have been a redevelopment of an Anglo-Saxon church
The Church has a fine set of bells hung for the traditional English-style of bell-ringing. The tenor weighs just over a tonne and weighs in at 1221 kg.
In 2017, all of the bells were recast, with the tenor weighing two hundredweight more than previously (now weighing 24 hundredweight, 0 quarters and 4 pounds, or 1221 kg). The restoration and recasting were carried out by John Taylor & Co, now Britain's largest church-bell firm

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG60XY - There has been a building on our site since the 1300s although the first mention of the Kings itself is not until 1639. The Georgian frontage was added in 1753 although the size of the building was reduced in the 1890s when a decline in trade resulted in part of the front being turned into a shop. It wasn't until 1936 that the Kings left private ownership and was bought by the Friary Brewery of Guildford which later became part of Allied Breweries.
We've had a few famous guests over the years including Tsar Peter the Great (who left without paying his bill!) as well as some European royalty who met here in 1814 to discuss post war Europe after the Battle of Trafalgar. Tsar Peter the Great's visit is commemorated by a plaque on the front of the building which was unveiled in 1998 by the Russian Ambassador to commemorate the tricentenary of the visit.

The present-day town came into existence after a plan to build a London-Southampton railway line through nearby Kingston was rejected by Kingston Council, who feared that it would be detrimental to the coaching trade. This resulted in the line being routed further south, through a cutting in the hill south of Surbiton. Surbiton railway station opened in 1838, and was originally named Kingston-upon-Railway. It was only renamed Surbiton to distinguish it from the new Kingston railway station on the Shepperton branch line, which opened on 1 January 1869. The present station has an art deco façade.
As a result, Kingston is now on a branch line, whereas passengers from Surbiton (smaller in comparison) can reach London Waterloo in about 15 minutes on a fast direct service
as well as places further afield, including Portsmouth and Southampton.
It was once home to Surbiton Studios which were owned by Stoll Pictures, before the company shifted its main production to Cricklewood Studios.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RGJW81 - Bar billiards is a form of billiards which involves scoring points by potting balls in holes on the playing surface of the table rather than in pockets. Bar billiards developed from the French/Belgian game billard russe, of Russian origin. The current form started in the UK in the 1930s and now has leagues in Norfolk, Sussex, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey, Kent, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Suffolk, Yorkshire and Northamptonshire. These counties comprise the All England Bar Billiards Association. There are also leagues in Guernsey and Jersey where the annual world championships take place.
The game of bar billiards developed originally from the French billiard, which due to the expensive tables in the fifteenth century was played only by the French monarchy and the very rich. The game was transformed into Billiard Russe during the 16th century for the Russian Tsars and a derivative of Bagatelle played by French royalty.
Bar billiards was first imported into the UK during the early 1930s when David Gill, an Englishman witnessed a game of billiard russe (Russian billiards) taking place in Belgium. He persuaded the Jelkes company of Holloway Road in London to make a similar table. Tables were also made by Sams, Riley, Burroughs & Watts and Clare. It is now a traditional bar game played in leagues in the English counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire, Kent, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Surrey, Sussex and Yorkshire, and also the Channel Islands. The game's governing body is the All England Bar Billiards Association. There are also leagues in Guernsey and Jersey. The standard league tables have a playing surface approximately 32 inches (81 cm) wide. Sams also made a narrower version with a 28-inch (71 cm) width playing surface

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG60Y2 - There has been a building on our site since the 1300s although the first mention of the Kings itself is not until 1639. The Georgian frontage was added in 1753 although the size of the building was reduced in the 1890s when a decline in trade resulted in part of the front being turned into a shop. It wasn't until 1936 that the Kings left private ownership and was bought by the Friary Brewery of Guildford which later became part of Allied Breweries.
We've had a few famous guests over the years including Tsar Peter the Great (who left without paying his bill!) as well as some European royalty who met here in 1814 to discuss post war Europe after the Battle of Trafalgar. Tsar Peter the Great's visit is commemorated by a plaque on the front of the building which was unveiled in 1998 by the Russian Ambassador to commemorate the tricentenary of the visit.
