Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FMM9K5 - . Hackney Council poster headed 'Claim what's yours' encourages residents to check whether they are entitled to financial support, turning the often complex subject of welfare benefits into a direct public-information message. Hackney Council administers Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction while also signposting residents to Universal Credit and other support. Campaigns of this kind are particularly relevant during periods of high household costs because unclaimed benefits can leave eligible people with less income than the rules allow. The photograph can illustrate benefit take-up, income maximisation, council revenues and benefits teams, poverty reduction, cost-of-living support and the role of local authorities in helping residents navigate welfare systems. It also records the language and graphic design used by councils to make financial assistance feel accessible rather than bureaucratic. For housing and local-government coverage, the image is useful where rent, council tax, household budgets and benefit entitlement overlap, especially in high-cost London boroughs such as Hackney. The message is rooted in the practical problem of benefit take-up: households may qualify for support without claiming it, while changes in earnings, rent, household composition or age can alter entitlement. Hackney Council currently directs residents to online checks for Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction and explains that Universal Credit has replaced Housing Benefit for most working-age claimants, with important exceptions including some supported and temporary accommodation. The council also operates wider cost-of-living and money-advice support, so the banner belongs to a broader local-government effort to connect residents with income they may be entitled to receive. Visually, the large yellow-green panel, plain-language wording and council branding show how a public authority translates a complex welfare system into a short street-level call to action.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F9CT5M - Close-up editorial image of a smartphone displaying the UK Government Severe Alert issued on 14 August 2026 warning of a very high risk of wildfires nationally during an exceptionally hot and dry British summer. The message told residents, landowners and visitors not to undertake activities that could start a fire, specifically naming disposable barbecues, firepits, garden incinerators and fireworks, and warned that even a small flame could rapidly develop into a major wildfire threatening lives, homes, businesses and emergency responders. It also instructed people to report signs of fire immediately by calling 999.
The warning was issued as wildfire danger had become a credible national concern. Government guidance earlier in August said the summer had brought some of the UK's hottest days on record and stressed that most UK wildfires are caused by human activity. Dry vegetation, prolonged heat and low rainfall had increased the chance of fires starting and spreading quickly, while fire services were already dealing with incidents. The alert was sent to millions of compatible mobile phones across England and Wales and was described as the most extensive use of the UK's Emergency Alerts system to that date.
The image can illustrate wildfire prevention, extreme heat, drought, climate change, emergency communications, civil protection, public safety, risk communication and pressure on fire services. It also raises debate about proportionality and alert fatigue: some questioned whether a nationwide-style warning was an appropriate use of a system designed for life-threatening emergencies, while supporters pointed to real fires, tinder-dry landscapes and repeated heatwaves as justification. The stark warning panel on a smartphone resting on printed pages creates a strong contemporary news image about digital government warnings, public behaviour, summer fire risk and Britain's changing exposure to severe weather and emergency preparedness.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJD0C1 - . Manchester Crown Court at Crown Square in Manchester city centre, England, UK. Photographed on 23 May 2026. The recorded location is Manchester Crown Court, Crown Square, Manchester, Greater Manchester, England, UK. The modern court complex is shown from the street with its formal sign in the foreground and multi-storey judicial building behind. Crown courts hear serious criminal cases including jury trials and appeals from magistrates' courts. The clear exterior view provides a useful generic legal and judicial image for reporting on court cases, criminal prosecutions, sentencing decisions, justice policy, court backlogs and the operation of the British legal system. Within the history of civil justice, police headquarters and stations record the administrative infrastructure behind everyday law enforcement
Buildings may change as forces consolidate estates, adopt new technology and move from traditional town-centre stations to larger operational hubs. In relation to place-making, historical context shows that public squares and courtyards are long-standing stages for markets, ceremonies, protest and everyday movement
Their paving, monuments and surrounding façades reveal how cities organise civic life. Against the 2026 backdrop for civil justice, accessibility and clear public information are increasingly significant expectations for justice buildings
Ramp signs, bilingual wording and wayfinding can therefore illustrate inclusive design as well as law, courts and public administration. As of 2026, the position for place-making is that city-centre public spaces are increasingly expected to support walking, events, outdoor dining and climate resilience rather than functioning mainly as traffic space. Associated subject terminology includes court building, sheriff court, justice system, public service, court access, judicial administration, community safety, criminal justice, public sector estate, court signage, civic space, and public realm.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EM2JP7 - Two Luas Red Line trams passing on Abbey Street in Dublin city centre, with pedestrians, shops, street signs, overhead power lines and reserved tram tracks creating a busy urban transport scene. The photograph shows the light rail system operating at street level through one of the capital's central shopping and movement corridors, close to O'Connell Street, Marlborough Street, the Abbey Theatre, the Spire, bus connections and the wider northside retail district. Luas is Dublin's tram network, with the Red Line linking Tallaght and Saggart in the west to Connolly and The Point in the east via the city centre, making Abbey Street an important stop for commuters, shoppers, tourists, students and workers crossing the city. The image is useful for editorial stories about integrated public transport, sustainable mobility, city-centre congestion, pedestrian safety, tram priority, transport planning, light rail investment, accessible travel, urban regeneration, retail footfall and Dublin's changing streetscape. Visible signage in Irish and English, including the instruction for tram access, adds a clear Dublin context and shows how the tram environment is managed within a dense mixed-use street. The scene appears to have been taken in daylight under a bright but overcast sky, with summer or mild-weather clothing among pedestrians and a lively flow of people around the platforms and crossings. The side-by-side trams, overhead catenary and rails embedded in the road surface make the picture suitable for transport, infrastructure, planning, climate, tourism, commuting, Ireland travel and public realm features. It also illustrates the everyday operation of a modern European light rail system in a historic city centre where public transport, walking, retail activity and heritage streets all share limited street space.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ39P - This image shows a modern wayfinding signpost in Belfast's Titanic Quarter, providing directional information for key destinations including Titanic Belfast, the Titanic Trail, SS Nomadic, Belfast Metropolitan College and the city centre. The yellow and grey signage incorporates symbols for pedestrians and cyclists, reflecting contemporary urban design focused on walkability and active travel.
Set against a vivid blue sky with scattered clouds, the photograph appears to have been taken in bright summer conditions, with strong daylight enhancing colour contrast and legibility. The surrounding built environment includes modern regeneration architecture associated with the redevelopment of Belfast's former docklands.
The Titanic Quarter is one of Northern Ireland's most significant regeneration projects, closely linked to the city's maritime and industrial heritage, particularly the construction of the RMS Titanic. Clear, multilingual-style visual signage plays an important role in managing tourism flows and connecting cultural attractions with education, transport and the wider city centre.
The image captures how modern urban wayfinding supports tourism, regeneration and everyday navigation, blending practical infrastructure with Belfast's evolving post-industrial identity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JCF - Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street (Irish: Sláinte Leanaí Éireann ag Sráid an Teampaill) is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin
The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital.
In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake.
A new nurses' home and a new x-ray department was officially opened by Minister of Lands, Seán Flanagan, in the presence of the President of Ireland, Éamon de Valera, in 1972.
In line with other teaching hospitals, the facility changed its name from the Children's Hospital, Temple Street to the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street in the late 1990s and changed its name again to the Temple Street Children's University Hospital in 2012
The hospital changed its name from Temple Street Children's University Hospital to Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JR5WBD - A heritage British Railways travel poster promoting Herefordshire, produced for the Western Region around 1955 and illustrated by artist John Chater. The coloured lithograph presents an idealised rural street scene lined with traditional black and white timber-framed buildings, with a slender church spire rising prominently in the centre and rolling green countryside visible beyond. The Science Museum Group identifies the scene as probably representing the Herefordshire village of Weobley and the church of St Peter and St Paul.
The composition reflects the classic postwar railway advertising style used to encourage domestic leisure travel by train. A farm worker is shown walking along the street carrying two buckets, while another figure stands near a shop doorway, adding everyday village life to the picturesque setting. The steeply pitched roofs, exposed timber framing and narrow street emphasise Herefordshire's historic vernacular architecture and reinforce an image of traditional rural England. The landscape beyond opens into fields and gentle hills beneath a dramatic sky, creating a strong contrast between the intimate village foreground and the open countryside.
The poster was published by British Railways Western Region and printed by Waterlow & Sons Limited. Its bold destination title, HEREFORDSHIRE , formed part of a wider railway tourism campaign promoting distinctive British landscapes and historic towns during the 1950s. Today such posters are widely collected as examples of mid-century graphic design, transport heritage and the golden age of British railway advertising. The image also documents how postwar railway companies marketed rural destinations through romanticised illustration, combining architecture, landscape and local character to sell the idea of leisurely exploration by rail.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T0BDNG - Taken on 30 Sep 2023, this photograph shows Workflow in Scrabble letters, automation of computer systems and processes. The location is Britain , UK. The picture is not just a record shot: it contains a carefully staged close-up of letter tiles arranged as a readable concept phrase, photographed against a map, keyboard, dictionary page, coins or other context props rather than a plain studio background. The image can be used as a clear editorial, blog or report illustration where a concept needs to be shown visually without using a person, organisation logo or staged office scene. For image buyers, the value is in the combination of recognisable subject, readable wording, location evidence and a plain documentary style that can be dropped into news, magazine, web, council, housing, transport, heritage or commercial commentary without looking over-produced. Searchable related phrases include Scrabble, letters, words, automation, worklow, workflows, processes, keyboard, laptop, letter, word, work, plus wider ideas such as local identity, public realm, urban detail, social history, commercial change, everyday Britain, documentary photography and place-based storytelling. The composition gives designers scope for captions, page furniture, social media crops, report covers and article thumbnails, while the detailed captioning makes it more discoverable for searches using both specific place names and broader themes. Because the subject is clearly labelled or visually distinctive, it can also work well in search-led usage where the buyer needs immediate recognition at small web-preview size. Further SEO-friendly usage could include local services, town-centre change, heritage branding, British social history, public infrastructure, consumer behaviour, community identity and documentary evidence for newsletters, blogs, policy papers and web features.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PNRFAX - . Cheshire Constabulary, Rural Watch sign on a fence, Thelwall , Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK, WA4. Photographed on 18 April 2023. Rural Watch is a free scheme set up to support communities in the fight against rural crime. If you live, work or visit rural communities you are our eyes and ears. Join our police officers and a network of people who share information about crimes in rural areas. The main aims of the Rural Watch scheme are to:. reduce local opportunities for crime and vandalism. reinforce community spirit so that everyone can contribute towards the protection of their property. introduce early warning systems in the farming and countryside areas. improve the intelligence flow between rural communities and police. Together we can actively take steps to prevent crime, report suspicious incidents and provide education and reassurance on the issues that matter the most to rural communities. Seen through public sector estate, the earlier context is that courts and police buildings are physical expressions of the justice system
Their entrances, crests and signs identify the institutions responsible for criminal and civil proceedings, public order and local administration. For vintage watch, the historical context is that railway watches were valued for reliable timekeeping because timetables and safe train operation depended on consistent clocks long before electronic systems. Looking at streetscape, the longer history is that place-based photography helps document the relationship between named locations and the people or businesses associated with them, especially where formal architectural records are limited. The 2026 relevance of public sector estate comes from the fact that accessibility and clear public information are increasingly important expectations for justice buildings
Ramp signs, bilingual wording and wayfinding can therefore illustrate inclusive design as well as law, courts and public administration.

The scene records DB Regio Mitte EMU electric train at Bacherach, platform one, Rhineland-Palatinate. The surrounding context encompasses historical comparison, rail mobility, commuter travel, archival record, urban rail transport, social history, everyday life, regional rail, trackside heritage, local history, rail modernisation, visual archive, transport interchange, and rail infrastructure. From a 2025-onward perspective, accessibility and public ownership are closely linked to this subject, alongside the role of public transport in reducing congestion and emissions. As a dated visual record of the recorded location, the frame retains landscape treatment and surrounding development, making it especially useful if conservation work subsequently changes the scene. A second descriptive layer includes rail corridor, public realm, contemporary social history, public transport network, community identity, changing streetscape, before-and-after reference, and regional identity. References to electric, platform, Regio, train, and Bacherach give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. By fixing the subject within the recorded location, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. Its period value extends to accessibility and the role of public transport in reducing congestion and emissions as part of the longer story of the recorded location. The location additionally provides evidence of fares and the reshaping of Britain's passenger railway in the mid-2020s when considered against later change at the recorded location. The view records period character within the wider story of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JCC - Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street (Irish: Sláinte Leanaí Éireann ag Sráid an Teampaill) is a children's hospital located on Temple Street, Dublin, Ireland. It is a teaching hospital of University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin
The hospital was founded by Mrs. Ellen Woodlock and her close friend Sarah Atkinson at 9 Upper Buckingham Street in 1872. It had just 8 beds when it opened. In 1876, the growing success of the hospital prompted the governing committee to invite the Religious Sisters of Charity to take over the running of the hospital.
In May 1879 the lease at 9 Upper Buckingham Street expired and, with the help of a bequest, the sisters purchased the former home of the Earls of Bellomont at 15 Temple Street. Over the following years adjoining houses were purchased such as the residence of the Parnell family, number 14. The hospital expanded in the 1930s with help from the Irish Hospitals' Sweepstake.
A new nurses' home and a new x-ray department was officially opened by Minister of Lands, Seán Flanagan, in the presence of the President of Ireland, Éamon de Valera, in 1972.
In line with other teaching hospitals, the facility changed its name from the Children's Hospital, Temple Street to the Children's University Hospital, Temple Street in the late 1990s and changed its name again to the Temple Street Children's University Hospital in 2012
The hospital changed its name from Temple Street Children's University Hospital to Children's Health Ireland at Temple Street as part of the rebranding of three hospitals under the Children's Health Ireland banner on 1 January 2019

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BM3JJ3 - A cotton mill is a building housing spinning or weaving machinery for the production of yarn or cloth from cotton, an important product during the Industrial Revolution in the development of the factory system.
Although some were driven by animal power, most early mills were built in rural areas at fast-flowing rivers and streams using water wheels for power. The development of viable steam engines by Boulton and Watt from 1781 led to the growth of larger, steam-powered mills allowing them to be concentrated in urban mill towns, like Manchester, which with neighbouring Salford had more than 50 mills by 1802.
The mechanisation of the spinning process in the early factories was instrumental in the growth of the machine tool industry, enabling the construction of larger cotton mills. Limited companies were developed to construct mills, and the trading floors of the cotton exchange in Manchester, created a vast commercial city. Mills generated employment, drawing workers from largely rural areas and expanding urban populations. They provided incomes for girls and women. Child labour was used in the mills, and the factory system led to organised labour. Poor conditions became the subject of exposés, and in England, the Factory Acts were written to regulate them.
The cotton mill, originally a Lancashire phenomenon, was copied in New England and later in the southern states of America. In the 20th century, North West England lost its supremacy to the United States, then to Japan and subsequently to China.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDD6BT - Close-up of an official HM Prison Service warning sign stating Prison Property - Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted , attached to secure perimeter fencing at a prison in England. The image illustrates prison security, restricted government property and the controlled nature of custodial establishments, serving as an editorial representation of the wider debate surrounding the prison system in England and Wales. During 2026, the UK Government introduced major changes to prisoner release arrangements in response to persistent overcrowding across the prison estate, arguing that emergency action was required while additional prison places continue to be delivered. The reforms, introduced through the new Progression Model under the Sentencing Act, have generated significant political debate, with ministers stating the measures are intended to balance public protection with rehabilitation, probation supervision and effective management of prison capacity. Critics, victims' groups and some criminal justice campaigners have questioned whether earlier release for eligible offenders could undermine public confidence in sentencing, while supporters argue the reforms are necessary to prevent prisons operating beyond safe capacity and to create a more sustainable justice system. The debate has also highlighted wider issues including decades of rising prison populations, tougher sentencing policies, insufficient prison capacity, rehabilitation programmes, offender management, prison staffing, violence within prisons, reoffending, electronic monitoring, licence conditions, recall powers and investment in new prison infrastructure. An online UK Parliament petition opposing aspects of the early release policy has attracted substantial public support, reflecting continuing concern over crime, punishment, sentencing, victims' rights and community safety. Government ministers maintain that prisoners convicted of the most serious offences remain excluded from the new arrangements and that

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A4PJNH - It is a pretty obvious concept that service areas - which are built to serve motorists - should provide parking. Specifically, parking for all vehicles must be provided free for at least two hours, with more detail given below.
A significant portion of formal complaints regarding motorway service areas relate to parking. How can something so simple go so wrong? There appears to be a mismatch between what customers expect and what they are offered.
For specific queries and complaints you should contact the operator, who are likely to ask anybody complaining about a penalty charge to follow the appeals procedure sent to them.
All official motorway and A-road service areas - that is those with official road signs directing people to them - must provide at least two hours free parking for all road users who are entitled to use the facility. This free short stay must be provided regardless of whether the driver intends to leave the car or not. Older facilities may not be able to provide dedicated parking for each class of vehicle, instead relying on a generic 'long vehicles' area.
The two hour free period has been enshrined in government policy since 1979, on the basis that a motorway service area's primary function is to cater for the immediate needs of motorists and that two hours was considered sufficient. While motorway services can make handy places for car-sharing or meetings, this is not meant to be their priority. There is no rule that charges must apply after two hours, but convention is that all operators charge after two or three hours (four hours is common in Ireland). There is no rule preventing services from asking people to leave after two hours. Buying food or drinks does not absolve the customer of the need to pay for parking.
Note that the rule merely states that two hours free parking must be available, it doesn't state that all parking spaces must be free. There have been reports that some petrol stations are charging vehicles for parking.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGKETK - One of the most common types of fire protection systems for office buildings are fire sprinkler systems. While fire sprinkler systems are more than capable of suppressing a fire, the water from the sprinkler system can damage sensitive environments like server rooms, telecommunication sites, data centers, control rooms, museums, power plants, and more. For these environments, businesses turn to fire suppression systems that disperse an inert gas or combination of gasses to suppress the fire without causing damage to electronics or permanently losing data.
For buildings that have little or no occupancy, carbon dioxide systems are often used as the key suppressant. However, carbon dioxide (CO2) fire suppression systems create an inherent health risk for people in the area. That is why you won't normally find CO2 fire suppression systems installed in normally occupied buildings and enclosures. Instead, you'll find clean agent fire suppression systems installed to protect sensitive environments. Clean agent fire suppression systems pose a much lower health risk to people when compared to CO2 which can be deadly. When choosing a clean agent fire suppression system, there are three common types:

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P53BW1 - The Glasgow Subway is an underground metro line in Glasgow, Scotland. Opened on 14 December 1896, it is the third-oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro. It is the only heavy rail underground metro system in the United Kingdom outside London, and also the only one in the United Kingdom which operates completely underground. It is also one of the very few railways in the world with a track running gauge of 4 ft (1,219 mm). Formerly a cable railway, the Subway was later electrified, but its twin circular lines were never expanded. The line was originally known as the Glasgow District Subway, but was later renamed Glasgow Subway Railway. It was so called when taken over by the Glasgow Corporation who renamed it the Glasgow Underground in 1936. Despite this rebranding, many Glaswegians continued to refer to the network as the Subway. In 2003 the name Subway was officially readopted by its operator, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). A £40,000 study examining the feasibility of an expansion into the city's south side is in progress.
The system is not the oldest underground railway in Glasgow
that distinction belongs to a 3.1 mi (5.0 km) section of the Glasgow City and District Railway opened in 1863, now part of the North Clyde Line of the suburban railway network, which runs in a sub-surface tunnel under the city centre between High Street and west of Charing Cross. Another major section of underground suburban railway line in Glasgow is the Argyle Line, which was formerly part of the Glasgow Central Railway.
The Subway runs from 06:30 to 23:40 Monday to Saturday and 10:00 to 18:12 on Sunday.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBPC8 - Metrolink (also known as Manchester Metrolink) is a tram/light rail system in Greater Manchester, England. The system is owned by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) and operated and maintained under contract by a Keolis/Amey consortium. 37.8 million passenger journeys were made on the system during 2016/17.
The network consists of seven lines which radiate from Manchester city centre to termini at Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bury, East Didsbury, Eccles, Manchester Airport and Rochdale. Metrolink has 93 stops along 57 miles (92 km) of standard-gauge track making it the largest light rail system in the United Kingdom. It consists of a mixture of on-street track shared with other traffic
reserved track sections, segregated from other traffic, and converted former railway lines. It is operated by a fleet of Bombardier Flexity Swift M5000s.
A light rail system for Greater Manchester emerged from the failure of the 1970s Picc-Vic tunnel scheme to obtain central government funding. A light-rail scheme was proposed in 1982 as the least expensive rail-based transport solution for Manchester city centre and the surrounding Greater Manchester metropolitan area. Government approval was granted in 1988 and the network began operating services between Bury Interchange and Victoria on 6 April 1992, becoming the United Kingdom's first modern street-running rail system
the 1885-built Blackpool tramway being the only first-generation tram system in the UK that had survived up to Metrolink's creation

The recorded location is Waddesdon Manor, Bicester Rd, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England , UK HP18 0JH. Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England, UK. The house was built in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French château between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild. Waddesdon Manor was built from 1874 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild in the style of a French Renaissance château and is now managed by the National Trust on behalf of the Rothschild Foundation. Its collections bring together French decorative arts, furniture, clocks, ceramics, paintings, textiles and sculpture assembled through the Rothschild family's collecting networks. Close-up photographs of individual objects therefore sit within a broader story of nineteenth-century wealth, collecting and European craftsmanship. Historically, folded-paper art sits between craft, mathematics and sculpture
Creases control structure and volume, allowing artists to create elaborate forms from lightweight material while making the construction process visible in the finished object. In 2026, paper art and origami continue to appear in galleries, design education and museum programming, valued for their combination of low-tech material, mathematical precision and visual complexity
They also connect with wider interest in craft, making and sustainable materials. The historical context is that paper folding transforms a simple sheet into sculpture through geometry rather than cutting or adhesive
Although origami is strongly associated with Japan, European traditions of napkin and paper folding also developed over centuries, and contemporary artists use the technique for complex figurative and abstract work. Additional discoverability terms include paper sculpture, folded paper, geometric design, sculptural paper, paper craft, and museum display.

Close-up photographs of individual objects therefore sit within a broader story of nineteenth-century wealth, collecting and European craftsmanship. The historical context is that art in public and historic settings adds another layer to the built environment
Sculpture, mosaic, painting and street art can interpret heritage, provoke debate, memorialise communities or create landmarks, and images preserve works that may later change or disappear. In historical terms, branded products and packaging are compact records of consumer culture
Logos, colours, materials and slogans can change repeatedly even when the underlying product continues to be familiar, allowing a still-life image to date a particular period of retail history. The subject remains topical in 2026 because contemporary interest in public art is closely linked to regeneration and cultural tourism. murals and sculpture continue to be used to express identity and animate public space, while redevelopment can make photographic records of earlier works increasingly valuable. Other closely matched search terms include artwork, visual culture, cultural identity, place-making, community art, and urban art.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DEJNDD - The phonograph, record player, or gramophone (from the Greek: gramma, letter and phōnē, voice), is a device introduced in 1877 for the recording and reproduction of sound recordings. The recordings played on such a device consist of waveforms that are engraved onto a rotating cylinder or disc. As the cylinder or disc rotates, a stylus or needle traces the waveforms and vibrates to reproduce the recorded sound waves.
The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors had produced devices that could record sounds, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the recorded sound. His phonograph originally recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet phonograph cylinder, and could both record and reproduce sounds.
Alexander Graham Bell's Volta Laboratory made several improvements in the 1880s, including the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders, and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a zig zag pattern across the record. At the turn of the 20th century, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to gramophone records: flat, double-sided discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near the center.
Other improvements were made throughout the years, including modifications to the turntable and its drive system, the needle and stylus, and the sound and equalization systems.
The gramophone record was one of the dominant audio recording formats throughout much of the 20th century. From the mid-1980s, phonograph use declined sharply because of the rise of the Compact Disc and other digital recording formats. While no longer mass market items, modest numbers of phonographs and phonograph records continue to be produced in the second decade of the 21st century.

Another fave of mine from probably the best album you have never heard!
The band's founding members were Chris Corner and Liam Howe, who then recruited Kelli Dayton in in Hartlepool, England in 1994. Combined with the fear of being identified with the fad for trip-hop acts (e.g. Portishead), Dayton was asked to leave the group, and Corner became the singer from the second album onwards.
Chris Corner left the band in 2003 and released two solo albums in 2004 and 2006 under the moniker IAMX titled Kiss + Swallow and The Alternative. Kelli Ali (Dayton) recorded her third solo album Rocking Horse at the beginning of 2008 and released it through One Little Indian late Autumn 2008. She is quoted as saying this is a very different affair to her two previous solo albums, Tigermouth and Psychic Cat. Rocking Horse was produced by Max Richter.

If you haven't heard of it, thats because its not so popular. Bing is the third largest search engine on the web by query volume, at 3.24%, after its competitor Google at 84.80% and Yahoo at 6.19%. A piece of trivia, Bing's official Chinese name is b\u00ec y\u00ecng ( \u5fc5\u61c9 ), which literally means 'very certain to respond' or 'very certain to answer' in Chinese. Neat eh!
Bing is marketted as the simple search engine.
Anyway back to Euston.... The launch advert for Bing in the UK asks this question. 'Which tube is it for Euston Station?'. Bing comes to the rescue in the marketting world to return the simple correct answer. Although in the real world, like you may have guessed, you would have been better sticking with Google all along.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4139427744 - 'Do you ever buy the 'Big Issue'?
Do you ever wonder about the vendor?
Ever look them in the eye? Wonder where they live? How your 90p or a pound helps?
Back in 1995 where I lived in Warrington, the local county council would not authorise its sale. Therefore nobody saw anyone selling it on the streets. Easy for everyone to assume there is no homelessness problem.

More about 'The Big Issue'...
The Big Issue is a street newspaper published in eight countries
it is written by professional journalists and sold by homeless individuals. It was founded by John Bird and Gordon Roddick in September 1991. The Big Issue is one of the UK's leading social businesses and exists to offer homeless people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income, thereby helping them to reintegrate into mainstream society. It is also the world's most widely circulated street newspaper.
To become a vendor, one must be homeless or vulnerably housed or marginalised in some way. The Big Issue recognises, however, that for many people, being housed is only the first stage in getting off the streets
therefore, The Big Issue Foundation exists to support vendors in gaining control of their lives by tackling the various issues which lead to homelessness.
The Big Issue has been described as one of the most successful street newspapers worldwide, selling over 300,000 copies a week and listed as the third-favourite newspaper of young British people (age 15 to 24) in 2001.
There are 5 localised editions of the magazine sold throughout the United Kingdom and vendors buy The Big Issue for 85p[7] and sell it for \u00a31.70. The magazine is also produced and sold in Australia, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Japan, Namibia, Kenya, Malawi and Taiwan. All vendors receive training, sign a code of conduct] and can be identified by badges which include their photo and vendor number

As they start to relax the chatter starts. I am asked to explain why I am taking pictures in the room. Whether I can spare a pound. Whether I might want to swap my tour T-Shirt for a plain one from someone elses back.
Several people here are on the run from court, wives and husbands and don't want their images recorded. That's ok with me, if they believe or not that I will respect their wishes.

She is paid from 10am to 10pm, but often adds another 3-4 hours to that each day.
Commanding respect, she knits the shoestring winter night shelter together, finding silver linings in grey clouds. Without her the shelter would not exist.
She hopes next year the local borough council will fund a permanent night shelter.
Even if they do, she will most likely put as much effort.
