Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97HX - A tight, documentary close-up of a blue civic plaque mounted on a red brick wall at Stockport railway station in Greater Manchester. The plaque headline reads CHANNEL ISLAND EVACUEES and the main inscription is fully legible, explaining that in June, July and August 1940 Stockport welcomed over 1200 evacuees from the Channel Islands, and that the children were cared for by local families until the islands were liberated in May 1945. Around the lower edge, the wording THE METROPOLITAN BOROUGH OF STOCKPORT and a small municipal crest reinforce the official, local-government nature of the marker, giving the image strong value for accurate editorial captioning and search visibility.
The composition is simple and direct, designed to prioritise the readable text and the classic blue-plaque format. The brickwork texture and the slightly weathered surface add a sense of permanence and everyday realism, suggesting a plaque that has become part of the station environment rather than a staged memorial. Light appears cool and natural, consistent with winter or cold-season conditions, with no strong shadows, so the plaque reads clearly and evenly.
As a stock image, it works well for editorial uses around World War II remembrance, wartime evacuation, refugees and displacement, and the social history of communities taking in children and families during conflict. It is also useful for education, heritage, and local history storytelling, especially where an image is needed to represent Channel Islands evacuation history in mainland Britain. The station setting is significant, since rail travel was central to evacuation journeys and arrivals, and the plaque serves as a quiet reminder of how major wartime events intersected with ordinary civic places

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97PF - A documentary, upward-angled view of the restored Winter's building on Stockport's Underbank, photographed to emphasise the famous exterior clock feature and its theatrical elements. The composition captures the projecting clock face with clear WINTER'S branding, flanked by decorative niches and traditional bell fittings that hint at the building's mechanical showmanship. The fa??ade is presented as an urban landmark rather than a generic shopfront, with crisp lines, clean masonry, and a bright blue sky giving the scene a cold-season clarity typical of winter daylight in Greater Manchester.
Winter's is widely known locally for its unique automaton clock, featuring three character figures, a soldier, a sailor and Father Time, that chime the time with bells mounted above the display. The clock was installed to advertise Jacob Winter's jewellers and clockmaking business and has become a much-loved piece of Stockport street heritage, the kind of place where generations stop, look up, and wait for the moment the figures move. The visual language of the scene supports that story: decorative niches, bell housings, and bold clock graphics that turn a working building into a piece of public theatre.
The building has also played several roles over time, including use as a pub and later restoration as part of the wider Underbanks heritage programme, so the image can carry multiple editorial angles: local history, conservation, town centre regeneration, and the re-use of historic buildings for contemporary leisure and hospitality. It is especially useful as a recognisable Stockport identifier because the clock branding and distinctive fa??ade details do the work of place recognition without needing crowds or close portrait detail.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97PY - A tight, documentary close-up of the historic mosaic threshold at Winter's on Stockport's Underbank, showing the elegant scripted words Winter Jeweller set into a richly patterned tiled floor. The entrance mosaic is framed by dark shopfront woodwork, with a partial glimpse of gilded lettering to the left, adding to the sense of a long-established specialist retailer. The design features ornate scrollwork, a decorative border in warm terracotta and cream tones, and fine tessellated workmanship typical of late Victorian or Edwardian commercial entrances, where the floor itself acted as both branding and an invitation to step inside.
The surface shows subtle signs of use, slight wear and weathering consistent with decades of footfall, which gives the image an authentic, time-layered feel rather than a newly installed replica. Lighting is soft and even, likely from overcast winter daylight, allowing the lettering and tile colours to read clearly without harsh reflections. The composition is practical and highly usable for editorial needs because it prioritises legible text and identifiable heritage detailing.
This photograph can support stories about Stockport's Underbanks conservation and regeneration, the survival of traditional independent trades, and the craft heritage embedded in everyday streetscapes. It also works well for broader themes of historic retail branding, typography, decorative arts, and the value of preserving small architectural details that help define a town's character. As a piece of place identity, the mosaic operates like a miniature monument: not grand or commemorative, but quietly telling the story of local commerce, skill, and continuity through design.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97X3 - A documentary indoor view of a full-size Halloween mummy figure on display inside Stockport Market, photographed as part of seasonal autumn decorations. The prop is a stylised, cartoonishly frightening mummy with bandage-like wrapping, an exaggerated facial expression and exposed skeletal details, standing upright on a metal base. The setting reads clearly as an indoor public venue or market environment, with shuttered stall panels, painted trim and practical fixtures visible around the edges of the frame, including fire extinguishers and wall notices that add a recognisable working building context rather than a staged studio scene.
The image suits editorial and commercial themes around Halloween as a UK seasonal event, market-led promotions, and how town-centre venues use themed displays to attract families and increase footfall during October and half-term. The composition is straightforward and readable, making it useful as a general illustration for Halloween decorations, spooky-season retail, community events, and indoor seasonal marketing in British towns. The indoor lighting and everyday background details help anchor the photograph in real-world place and activity, giving it value for documentary coverage of local markets and seasonal public programming.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM97XC - A wide, documentary view across Stockport Market Place capturing the distinctive Victorian Market Hall frontage alongside everyday town-centre businesses, including the clearly signed Town Barbers shop. The market hall's white-painted iron-and-glass structure, with its repeating arched frames and tall glazed panels, creates a strong graphic backdrop that instantly reads as a traditional northern market building. In contrast, the row of smaller street-level premises to the right gives the scene its modern, lived-in character, with local services and shopfronts sitting directly on the edge of the historic public square.
The light and colour suggest a cold-season day. Clear blue sky and crisp winter sunshine pick out the market hall framework and sharpen the edges of the streetscape, while long, clean shadows add depth to the paving and bollards in the foreground. The open space in front of the market hall gives a sense of scale and approach, emphasising the Market Place as a civic heart where trading, meeting, and everyday errands overlap. The presence of a barbershop sign in the same frame adds a useful editorial layer: a reminder that town centres are sustained not just by retail and markets, but by practical personal services that keep footfall steady through the week.
This image is well suited to editorial and commercial themes around UK market towns, heritage architecture in active use, independent businesses, and town-centre resilience. It also works as a recognisable Stockport location photograph, combining the landmark market hall with a named local shop, and presenting the Market Place as a functional, people-scale public realm rather than a purely tourist setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM981K - A documentary, street-level view of the Arden Arms on Millgate in Stockport, photographed to emphasise the pub's traditional branding and heritage character. The image centres on the exterior signage: a prominent hanging sign reading ARDEN ARMS and a matching illuminated box sign mounted on the brick fa??ade, both designed for high visibility to pedestrians and passing traffic. The red brickwork, period proportions, and tidy frontage details suggest a long-established town-centre pub, with hanging flower baskets adding a softer, welcoming touch against the harder urban materials.
Seasonal cues come through in the crisp light and the trees visible beyond the building, which show late-season colour and bare branches typical of late autumn or winter. The sky is clear and bright, producing clean edges and strong contrast on the brickwork and sign frames, and giving the scene that cold-weather clarity you often get on a dry day in Greater Manchester. The composition works well as a clear location identifier because the pub name is readable and the building is photographed in a recognisable, matter-of-fact documentary style rather than as a staged hospitality interior.
Editorially, the photo is useful for stories about British pub culture, real ale and cask beer, independent hospitality, and the survival of historic pubs in modern high streets. The Arden Arms is also a listed heritage asset in Stockport, so the image can support coverage about local history, conservation, and traditional buildings still in everyday commercial use. It is equally suitable for travel and lifestyle pieces on Stockport town centre, pub trails, and authentic Northern England streetscapes where pubs remain part of the social fabric.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DM9867 - A clean, contemporary exterior view of Stockport Interchange in Greater Manchester, featuring prominent Bee Network branding and the large Stockport Interchange name mounted on modern cladding. The yellow bee emblem, strongly associated with Greater Manchester identity and the Bee Network transport system, provides an instantly recognisable visual anchor for editorial and commercial uses. The photo is taken in crisp winter conditions, with bright low sunlight and a clear blue sky that gives the scene a fresh, high-contrast look and picks out surface textures and edges on the sign and building fa??ade.
The composition focuses on wayfinding and place identity rather than crowds, making it especially useful as a neutral, non-controversial illustration for stories about public transport, bus network operations, transport investment, and town-centre regeneration. The interchange is presented as a modern piece of civic infrastructure, the type of hub designed to make switching between services simpler for commuters, shoppers, and visitors. The absence of vehicles in the frame keeps attention on the signage and branding, which is often exactly what editors need to represent a transport organisation or location without tying the image to a specific incident.
This picture can support coverage of the Bee Network and Transport for Greater Manchester initiatives, integrated ticketing and information points, accessibility improvements, and wider debates about sustainable urban mobility. It also works well for general Stockport location coverage, with the winter light and calm atmosphere providing a professional, documentary feel suitable for news, policy, and transport features.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6C1 - A street-level view of The Football University Programme building adjacent to Bury Market in Bury town centre, photographed at Bury BL9 0SW, Greater Manchester. The scene shows members of the public moving through the pedestrianised market area, with seating, shoppers and everyday activity visible in the foreground.
The Football University Programme is an educational initiative that uses football and sport as engagement tools to support learning, personal development and aspiration, particularly among young people who may be disengaged from traditional education routes. Its location close to Bury Market places it within a busy civic environment, reinforcing links between education, community life and town-centre regeneration.
Bury Market has long been a focal point of the town's economic and social activity, and recent regeneration efforts have sought to broaden its role beyond retail, incorporating leisure, education and community uses. Projects such as the Football University Programme are often cited in policy and media discussions as examples of place-based regeneration, where social infrastructure is embedded directly into everyday urban settings.
The image captures a cross-section of daily life in a northern English town centre, illustrating how education initiatives coexist with markets, caf??s and public seating. Photographed in daylight with people of different ages visible, the scene offers strong editorial value for themes including community regeneration, education and sport, social inclusion, town-centre renewal and contemporary life in Greater Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJY9 - Manchester Town Hall stands partially enclosed by temporary structures during an extensive programme of renovation and restoration in Albert Square, photographed in August 2025 under bright late-summer daylight and a blue sky with scattered cloud. The clock tower, one of the most recognisable elements of Manchester's skyline, is now visibly restored, marking a significant milestone in the long-running refurbishment project.
Completed in 1877 and designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse, Manchester Town Hall is one of the finest examples of Victorian Gothic civic architecture in Britain. The building symbolised Manchester's nineteenth-century industrial confidence and municipal ambition, housing the city's political administration and civic functions for well over a century.
The current renovation programme aims to conserve the historic structure while adapting it for modern use, addressing decades of deferred maintenance and improving accessibility, sustainability and safety. The restoration of the clock tower has been closely followed locally, as it represents both technical progress and the gradual return of a much-loved civic landmark to full prominence.
Set against the evolving public realm of Albert Square, the image reflects Manchester's broader approach to heritage-led regeneration, where historic civic buildings are preserved and repurposed rather than replaced. The photograph is well suited for editorial use covering urban regeneration, heritage conservation, public investment in historic buildings, civic identity, and the ongoing transformation of Manchester's city centre.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RHH6HB - Among parish churches, it is the third tallest in England. But nothing survives above ground of the original building (a Saxon wooden church), and only the chancel and crypt remain from its successor, the first stone building, which was built in 1354.
Shelled and badly damaged by the Parliamentary forces in the Civil War of the 17th century, the tower of that church had to be rebuilt in 1696, and the nave was rebuilt in l770.
The south aisle was added in the early 19th century, and the whole building was restored between 1859 and 1867, when the present distinctive spire was added. Inside, galleries in the aisles contain pews with doors, and some of the stained glass is by AWN Pugin.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2REGHN6 - This panoramic image shows Northwich Marina in Cheshire, a well-established inland marina serving the River Weaver navigation and the wider UK canal network. Numerous narrowboats and leisure craft are moored around the basin, with calm water creating strong reflections of boats, buildings, and sky.
The photograph was taken in daylight under partly cloudy conditions, with soft summer light and broken cloud cover reflected across the surface of the marina. Modern residential buildings are visible in the background, highlighting the integration of waterside living with historic canal infrastructure.
Northwich Marina plays an important role in local leisure boating, tourism, and the town's regeneration, providing moorings close to the town centre and access to Cheshire's inland waterways. The wide panoramic composition emphasises the scale of the marina and its tranquil atmosphere, contrasting with the urban setting beyond.
The image captures a peaceful aspect of contemporary British canal life, combining heritage waterways, modern development, and recreational boating in a single wide-format scene. The Marina provides rental and boat sales. Address is Northwich Quay Marina, located at London Road, Northwich, Cheshire, England, UK, CW9 5HD

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP32N - The exterior of the Coleraine Masonic Lodge, also known as the Masonic Hall, in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The symmetrical, classically influenced building features a central entrance with a pediment and prominent Masonic symbolism, including the square and compasses emblem and a circular crest set high on the facade.
Above the entrance is the Latin motto Audi Vide Tace, meaning Hear, See, Be Silent, a phrase traditionally associated with Freemasonry and reflecting values of discretion, observation, and reflection. The architecture and iconography identify the building as a meeting place for members of the Masonic fraternity, which has had a long presence in Northern Ireland's social and civic life.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents a historic fraternal organisation's physical presence within Coleraine's urban landscape. It provides a visual record of institutional architecture, symbolic tradition, and local heritage, illustrating how Masonic lodges have functioned as enduring civic landmarks within towns across the UK and Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAP32W - The street-level offices of the Causeway Rural and Urban Network, a local charity and community organisation based at 1 Brook Street in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The modern shopfront-style premises display clear exterior signage and welcome branding, indicating a public-facing service accessible from the town centre.
Causeway Rural and Urban Network works within the voluntary and community sector, supporting individuals and communities across the Causeway Coast and Glens area. The organisation forms part of the wider network of charities and third-sector bodies that provide advice, support, and social inclusion services alongside statutory provision.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents the everyday presence of community organisations within Northern Irish town centres, illustrating how former commercial units are increasingly used to deliver charitable and social support services. It reflects the changing function of high-street premises and the growing visibility of the voluntary sector in local urban environments. Causeway Rural and Urban Network (CRUN) has delivered a range of practical, community-focused projects across Northern Ireland, particularly in the Causeway Coast and Glens area, aimed at tackling social exclusion and supporting people facing disadvantage. Its work has included rural and urban community support programmes, employability and skills initiatives, and digital inclusion projects helping people access online services, benefits and training. CRUN has also been involved in poverty and food-security responses, supporting food-bank style provision and crisis assistance, alongside wellbeing and social-isolation projects for older people and vulnerable adults. Many of its projects have focused on reaching individuals who struggle to engage with statutory services, using accessible town-centre bases and outreach work to provide advice, confidence-building and pathways into further support, education etc

If you visit the top of Guildford town, you might notice a gallant looking knight riding a white horse, charging off the fa??ade of 253 Upper High Street. The unit, part of which is The Harbour Hotel's The Long Bar, used to house a pub, likely dating back to the late 1700s called The White Horse.
Pubs named ?The White Horse' were tribute to the House of Hanover, the Royal family of the time period. Guildford's White Horse was a pub until 1964, when it was refurbished and transformed into the Guildford Hotel. In recent years the site underwent a massive redevelopment as part of the Harbour Hotel complex. Despite numerous changes over the years the unusual feature has remained.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RC95TN - Tea One ? The Baum / Yorkshire Street
Combining elements of classical painting with inspirations from the world of graffiti Tea One is influenced by the post industrial landscape of Northern Britain. Particularly he draws from those remnants left over from the areas once abundant past. Painting on the alley known as the Baum he has weaved seven stories together from seven different women. Calling the piece the ?Seven Sisters' he is of course also referencing the famous apartment blocks through placing real life stories into that context.
His stories are those which many of us would have experienced. Each of the women in the mural have their own tale to tell but they are tales that all of us could associate with. From left to right the first woman holds something up to a light. It's unknown what it is but it could be an opportunity or it could be a burden. She doesn't know it yet but her life might be about to change either way. Next to her a woman sits in a boat rowing with her back to her destination. She isn't sure what lies ahead yet she still travels into the unknown, she is on her own personal odyssey.
The third woman is wearing a mask. She is struggling with her own identity. Perhaps living a charade or just not sure what journey she is on or whether it is indeed the right one. The silhouetted figure next to her represents travel. Either leaving or arriving she could be about to go on a journey or may be coming home after a voyage. The fifth woman represents rebirth, pregnant she is about to bring new life into the world. Next to her meanwhile a tear falls down the face of the sixth woman. She is experiencing her own private tragedy. Though we don't know what it is we will have all had similar emotions from time to time.
The mural from ?Teaone' is called the Seven Sisters
The final woman as part of this mural is deeply personal to the artist. Showing a woman undergoing treatment for breast cancer. He calls this overcoming the monster

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PG - This photograph shows the frontage of the Original Co-operative Store on Toad Lane in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, widely recognised as the birthplace of the modern Co-operative movement. It was here, in 1844, that the Rochdale Pioneers opened a small shop selling basic goods under principles that would go on to influence cooperative retailing across Britain and around the world.
The modest red brick building, with its distinctive green door and bay windows, reflects the practical and unpretentious origins of the movement. The Rochdale Pioneers were working men seeking fair prices, honest weights, and ethical trading at a time when food adulteration and exploitative retail practices were common. Their principles, including democratic member control and the distribution of surplus to members, became the foundation of the global cooperative model.
Today the building is preserved as a heritage site and museum, forming a key part of Rochdale's identity and its contribution to social reform, retail history, and working-class self-organisation. The surrounding streetscape of Toad Lane reinforces the historical setting, offering a tangible link to nineteenth-century industrial Lancashire.
Photographed in clear daylight, this image documents an internationally significant site in the history of retail, mutualism, and social enterprise.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RCC5PM - This image shows the decorative hanging shop sign outside The Dolls Hospital on Toad Lane in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The sign, titled Toys & Dolls, features traditional illustrated artwork and text describing the business as master toymakers and purveyors of playthings, with references to antique and reproduction dolls and a dolls' hospital service.
Toad Lane is one of Rochdale's most historically significant streets and is closely associated with the town's commercial and cooperative heritage. Independent specialist retailers such as The Dolls Hospital contribute to the character of the area, offering niche craft skills and traditional services that contrast with modern chain retail.
The sign itself is suspended from a wrought iron bracket and designed in a deliberately old-fashioned style, evoking Victorian and Edwardian shop signage. Its weathered appearance and detailed illustration underline the shop's emphasis on heritage, craftsmanship, and the repair and restoration of dolls rather than mass-produced modern toys.
Photographed in clear daylight, the image highlights the role of traditional hanging signs in British town centres, where they remain an important visual marker of independent shops and specialist trades. This photograph is well suited for editorial use covering retail heritage, historic high streets, traditional craftsmanship, and the cultural character of northern English towns.

History
A product of the last generation of cotton mill building, Leigh Spinners was designed by Bolton architects Bradshaw, Gass & Hope for the Horrocks Company, and built in two phases. The east section comprising the six-storey mill, boiler house and chimney stack was built in 1913 and the matching west section was completed ten years later. One of the few double mills to be completed, it is one of the most complete still standing in Greater Manchester. Part of the factory is occupied by Leigh Spinners Ltd who have manufactured carpets since 1969 and since 2012, synthetic turf products for landscaping and sport.
The building is in poor condition and considered to be at risk by Historic England. A charity, the Leigh Building Preservation Trust was formed to restore the steam engine and engine house. In September 2013 the charity was awarded a ?75,000 grant to restore the steam engine and repair the engine house by Waste Recycling Environmental Limited, a heritage fund that protects buildings of historical importance. The charity was able to turn the engine in 2018 for the first time in many years.
As at January 2019, the younger of the two mill buildings has had extensive roof repairs, allowing the Charity to advance the restoration of several floors. Sport England funding enabled the conversion of one floor to accommodate a Table Tennis Club,

Amazon fulfillment centers are large facilities with hundreds of employees, sometimes thousands. Employees are responsible for five basic tasks: unpacking and inspecting incoming goods
placing goods in storage and recording their location
picking goods from their computer recorded locations to make up an individual shipment
sorting and packing orders
and shipping. A computer that records the location of goods and maps out routes for pickers plays a key role: employees carry hand-held computers which communicate with the central computer and monitor their rate of progress. A picker may walk 10 or more miles a day.
In newer fulfillment centers, items are stored on pods and brought to pickers by robots (Amazon Robotics). In the United Kingdom, initial staffing was provided by Randstad Holding and other temporary employment agencies. In the United States, many workers are hired as Amazon employees and granted shares of stock or sign-on bonuses, while others are offered temporary seasonal positions. When we have permanent positions available, we look to the top-performing temporary associates to fill them, said an Amazon spokesperson. Amazon acquired Kiva Systems, a warehouse automation company, in 2012.
Amazon fulfillment centers can also provide warehousing and order-fulfillment for third-party sellers, for an extra fee. Third-party sellers can use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) to ship for other platforms as well, such as eBay or their own websites

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PCB3RX - The Warrington bombings were two separate bomb attacks that happened during early 1993 in Warrington, England. The first attack happened on 26 February, when a bomb exploded at a gas storage facility. It caused extensive damage but no injuries. While fleeing the scene, the bombers shot and injured a police officer and two of them were then caught after a high-speed car chase. The second attack happened on 20 March, when two small bombs exploded in litter bins outside shops and businesses on Bridge Street. Two children were killed and dozens of people were injured. Although a warning or warnings had been sent, the area was not evacuated in time.
The attacks were carried out by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and it has been claimed that members of Red Action were also involved
Shortly before midday on 20 March 1993, The Samaritans in Liverpool received a bomb warning by telephone. According to police, the caller said only that a bomb had been planted outside a Boots shop. Merseyside Police sent officers to branches of Boots in Liverpool and warned the Cheshire Constabulary, who patrolled nearby Warrington. About 30 minutes later, at about 12:25, two bombs exploded on Bridge Street in Warrington, about 100 yards (91 m) apart. The blasts happened within a minute of each other. One exploded outside Boots and McDonald's, and one outside the Argos catalogue store. The area was crowded with shoppers. Witnesses said that the first explosion drove panicking shoppers into the path of the next blast just seconds later. It was later found that the bombs had been placed inside cast-iron litter bins, causing large amounts of shrapnel. Buses were organized to ferry people away from the scene and 20 paramedics and crews from 17 ambulances were sent to deal with the aftermath

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PPDK - Holy Trinity Church is in the centre of the town of Warrington, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Liverpool, the archdeaconry of Warrington and the deanery of Warrington.
History
A chapel of ease known as Trinity Chapel was built on the site in 1708 to relieve pressure on the parish church of St Elphin's. It was built as an oratory by Peter Legh of Lyme Park. By the 1750s the chapel was too small for its congregation and in 1758 subscriptions were raised to build a new church, which was consecrated in 1760. The architecture is in the style of James Gibbs, but he was ill at the time the church was built and it is thought it was designed by one of Gibbs' associates. In 1862 a west clock tower was added which was designed by W. P. Coxon, the Borough Surveyor
the tower belongs to the town rather than to the church. In 1974 the south aisle was re-designed to form the Garven Room, a servery, a vestry and toilets. By the 1970s the roof had been damaged by wet and dry rot, woodworm and death watch beetle and was replaced in 1978?79. By 1990 the pipe organ was beyond repair and it has been replaced by a Makin electronic organ. In 1988 the west end was remodelled, forming a lobby. In 1997 the east end was reordered, adding a room and extending the sanctuary area. In 1999 the clock was refurbished by Warrington Borough Council as a Millennium project.
Architecture
Exterior
The church is built in Georgian style. Its front is constructed in sandstone, and the rear in brick with stone dressings. The stonework at the front is rusticated. The front aspect is in four stages
at the base is a rusticated plinth, above which is a tier of windows with a Doric doorcase at the west of the front. Then comes an upper tier of windows with Ionic pilasters and at the top a cornice and a plain parapet. In the east wall is a Palladian window.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ0YY4 - Bacharach (pronunciation (help?info), also known as Bacharach am Rhein) is a town in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rhein-Nahe, whose seat is in Bingen am Rhein, although that town is not within its bounds.
The original name Baccaracus suggests a Celtic origin. Above the town stands Stahleck Castle (Burg Stahleck), now a youth hostel.
Geography
Location
The town lies in the Rhine Gorge, 48 km south of Koblenz.
Constituent communities
Bacharach is divided into several Ortsteile. The outlying centre of Steeg lies in the Steeg Valley (Steeger Tal) off to the side, away from the Rhine. This glen lies between Medenscheid and Neurath to the south and Henschhausen to the north on the heights.
History
In the early 11th century, Bacharach had its first documentary mention. It may have been that as early as the 7th century, the kingly domain passed into Archbishop of Cologne Kunibert's ownership
pointing to this is a Kunibertskapelle (chapel) on the spot where now stands the Wernerkapelle. The V??gte of the Cologne estate were the Elector of the Palatinate, who over time pushed back Cologne's influence.
Caring for and maintaining Bacharach's building monuments, spurred on in the early 20th century by the Rhenish Association for Monument Care and Landscape Preservation (Rheinischer Verein f?r Denkmalpflege und Landschaftsschutz) which took on the then highly endangered town wall and Stahleck Castle ruin jobs, and the great dedication of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate to the Wernerkapelle have seen to it that Bacharach is still a jewel of the Rheinromantik and a multifaceted documentary site of mediaeval architecture on the Middle Rhine. The Wernerkapelle ruin is under monumental protection and before it a plaque has been placed recalling the inhuman crimes against Jewish residents and also containing a quotation from a prayer by Pope John XXIII for a change in Christians' thinking in their relationship

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NCX1XM - Argos Limited, trading as Argos, is a catalogue retailer operating in the United Kingdom and Ireland, acquired by Sainsbury's supermarket chain in 2016. It was established in November 1972 and is named after the Greek city of Argos. The company trades both through physical shops and online, with 29 million yearly shop customers, and nearly a billion online visitors per annum.[2] It has also franchised overseas to countries such as China
The company was founded by Richard Tompkins who had previously established Green Shield Stamps in the United Kingdom. He came up with the idea that people could purchase goods from his Green Shield Gift House with cash rather than savings stamps. He rebranded the original Green Shield Stamps catalogue shops as Argos beginning in July 1973
In April 2016, Argos' parent Home Retail Group agreed to a ?1.4 billion takeover by Sainsbury's
On 5 November 2020, Sainsbury's announced that it would close 420 Argos standalone outlets by March 2024, leaving about 100
with other measures 3,500 Sainsbury's jobs were to be cut and ?600m saved.
120 standalone Argos stores permanently closed and moved into the nearest Sainsbury's store. The measures were reported to be due to changing consumer habits and the growth of online shopping.[12]
On 19 January 2023, it was announced that Argos would cease its operations in Ireland, including both its online business and its and physical shops, by 24 June 2023

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF7BJ - The Wigan Casino was a nightclub in Wigan, England. Operating between 1973 and 1981, it became known as a primary venue for Northern soul music. It carried forward the legacy created by clubs such as the Twisted Wheel in Manchester, the Chateau Impney (Droitwich), the Catacombs (Wolverhampton) and the Golden Torch (Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent). It remains one of the most famous clubs in Northern England. In 1978, allegedly the American music magazine Billboard voted Wigan Casino The Best Disco in the World, ahead of New York City's Studio 54. Although there is no tangible evidence of this award ever being publicised.
This England, a TV documentary about the Wigan Casino, was filmed in 1977. Russ Winstanley and Dave Nowell wrote a history of the club, Soul Survivors, The Wigan Casino Story, which was published in 1996.
Wigan Casino was the name of the last incarnation of a Wigan ballroom called the Empress. Local DJs Brian Rigby and Alan Cain approached lease owner Gerry Marshall to run all-nighters. Venue manager Mike Walker brought in Russ Winstanley, who had a DJ set at the local rugby club, to the Casino. At 2 am on Sunday 23 September 1973, Wigan Casino started its first-ever Northern soul all-nighter, with Winstanley as the DJ. After Winstanley and his helper Ian Fishwick, Kev Roberts was the third DJ at Casino all-nighters, who was quickly joined by Richard Searling Soul performers that performed there include Jackie Wilson, Edwin Starr and Junior Walker.
Young people from all over the UK regularly attended Wigan Casino to hear the latest northern soul artists and to dance. There were long queues to get in. The second dance floor, Mr M's, stayed open until 6 am and played oldies songs from a variety of DJs including Dave Evison and Steve Whittle. All-nighters generally ended with three songs that became known as the '3 before 8': Time Will Pass You By by Tobi Legend, Long After Tonight Is All Over by Jimmy Radcliffe, and I'm on My Way by Dean Parrish.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF8PC - Gerard Winstanley House which was formerly the towns magistrates court and police station but is now the home of a multi-arts thriving creative community.
It is a Grade II listed building dating back to around 1887 and of course, the first thing that hits you is the brickwork. The official records describe it as red brick in Flemish bond with sandstone dressings and a slate roof.
The buildings stand on Crawford Street opposite the small little garden that belongs to the Parish Church of All Saints and it really does cut a very imposing figure from a seat in that garden.
But the dramatic architecture doesn't stop there - not only do we have the amazing red brickwork and intricate dressings, but we have towers and turrets too! The spiked tower at the bottom end of Crawford Street rises high above the brickwork pointing right up to the often dark skies above.
This is where the main entrance to the courts was, its large welcoming doorway still a big feature of the facade. The symmetry and absolute craftsmanship of the building never fail to impress
These days the courts and police station have long gone, updated and replaced elsewhere in the town and everyone wondered what might happen to this magnificent building.
Would it go to rack and ruin like so many other buildings in the town, or would there be new life breathed into it, would it get a second chance?
The answer was firmly YES as the building was purchased and occupied by The Old Courts who have transformed the place and have refurbished the interior (still an ongoing project) to provide Art Galleries, a Theatre, a Live Music venue, a Cafe, a Record store, Band rehearsal rooms, Conference and Events space and even a bar.
Bailiff Bar is at the very bottom of the building around the corner from Crawford Street and on to King Street West.

Record Store Day is an annual event inaugurated in 2007 and held on one Saturday (typically the third) every April and every Black Friday in November to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store. The day brings together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores around the world. A number of records are pressed specifically for Record Store Day, with a list of releases for each country, and are only distributed to shops participating in the event.
Originally pitched as an idea to create an event similar to Free Comic Book Day by Bull Moose Music's Chris Brown and Criminal Record's Eric Levin, the concept for Record Store Day was created during a brainstorming session at a meeting of independent record store owners in Baltimore, Maryland
Record Store Day 2022 announced Taylor Swift as its first-ever global ambassador, for its 15th anniversary celebrations, and took place on April 23, 2022. An RSD Drops date also took place on June 18, 2022 to release items that were either delayed in production or could not be made in time for Record Store Day in April.
Record Store Day 2018 took place on Saturday, April 21, 2018. To celebrate, The Alarm visited stores in London, New York, and Los Angeles throughout the day. Special releases included albums by Prince, Ella Fitzgerald, and Bruce Springsteen, among others. The BBC released two full-cast television soundtracks of the Doctor Who serials The Tomb of the Cybermen and City of Death with newly commissioned gatefold artwork. The ambassadors for the event were Run The Jewels.

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.
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 2M6W9GB - Everyman Theatre is a theatre based in Regent Street, Cheltenham. There are two auditoria in the building - the 675 seat main auditorium and the 60 seat Studio Theatre, originally named The Ralph Richardson Studio after Ralph Richardson.
The Grade II listed building was designed by Frank Matcham and was originally called The New Theatre and Opera House.It was opened on 1 October 1891 with a performance by Lilly Langtry
In 1929, the New Theatre and Opera House gained a licence to screen projected film, becoming a multi-purpose theatre and cinema. The licence stipulated that the building must continue to present live performance as well as cinema.
In World War II, the theatre became a Garrison Theatre, to civilians and the US soldiers based at Pittville. Many actors from London left the capital to escape the Blitz, bringing big names to Cheltenham.
The Cheltenham Corporation ran the building after World War II until 1960. In 1959 the building closed and was at risk of being sold. The Cheltenham Theatre Association published an advertisement in September 1959 advertising Urgent - Wanted ?3,000 at once, to re-open Cheltenham Opera House.
In May 1960, the Cheltenham Theatre Association published another advertisement titled Great News, which announced that the Everyman Theatre would open on Monday 22 May 1960 with a world premiere presentation of N.C. Hunter's A Piece of Silver, starring Joyce Heron and Esmond Knight. The Cheltenham Theatre Association rebranded itself as the Everyman Theatre Association (ETA). It enjoyed booking advantages and raised money for the Theatre. Its 50th anniversary in 2010 was a great success
sadly, Covid lockdown prevented the 60th. Members enjoyed a variety of social activities, but, even before lockdown, support diminished and the ETA was wound up in late 2021. The benefits transferred to a new Priority Access Membership scheme administered directly by the theatre.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD2442 - The Church of Saint Mary is an Anglican parish church serving the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire England. It was founded around 1110, although its interior dates chiefly from the late 18th century. The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 23 February 1954. It is situated on the town's east cliff, overlooking the mouth of the River Esk overlooking the town, close to the ruins of Whitby Abbey. Church Steps, a flight of 199 steps leads up the hill to the church from the streets below. The church graveyard is used as a setting in Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula.
A Norman church was built on the site around 1110 and added to and altered over the centuries. The tower and transepts are from the 12th and 13th centuries. The tower is square and crenellated, as are the walls.
One of the oldest parts of the church is the quire which has three round-headed windows at its east end. Its side walls originally had three bays with similar windows but have been altered. It has three aumbries, one with a small piscina. The nave has five bays and is contemporary with the quire, its south wall is much altered but three external buttresses remain. When the church was enlarged in 1818 most of the north wall was removed and replaced by columns to accommodate an aisle, four large square-headed windows were inserted on the south side, the south porch was built in 1823 and a north porch built in the new annexe. The ceilings over the nave are boarded with several skylights. The transept was built in the 13th century and has three altered lancet windows in its northern arm while its southern arm is considerably changed and its windows all replaced. A squint cuts through from the south transept to the quire.
The three-stage west tower has a squat appearance, its corners supported by flat buttresses and its embattled parapet is a 16th-century addition. Of its ring of eight bells, six are inscribed, Whitby 1762 Lester and Pack of London fecit and two were added in 1897

20 June 1743 ? 9 March 1825) was a prominent English poet, essayist, literary critic, editor, and author of children's literature. A woman of letters who published in multiple genres, Barbauld had a successful writing career that spanned more than half a century.
She was a noted teacher at the Palgrave Academy and an innovative writer of works for children. Her primers provided a model for more than a century. Her essays showed it was possible for a woman to be engaged in the public sphere
other women authors such as Elizabeth Benger emulated her.
The publication of Eighteen Hundred and Eleven in 1812, which criticised Britain's participation in the Napoleonic Wars received negative reviews
In 1758, the family moved to Warrington Academy, halfway between the growing industrial cities of Liverpool and Manchester, where Barbauld's father had been offered a teaching position.
In May 1774, despite some misgivings, Barbauld married Rochemont Barbauld (1749?1808), the grandson of a French Huguenot and a former pupil at Warrington.
After the wedding, the couple moved to Suffolk, near where Rochemont had been offered a congregation and a school for boys

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTK73T - St Mary's Church, or St Mary's Priory, is in the town centre of Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, and is an active Catholic church. The parish was established and served by Benedictine monks from Ampleforth Abbey, but following the withdrawal of Ampleforth Abbey from the parish in 2012, it was served by the priest from St Benedict's Church, Warrington. From November 2015, the church has been owned and served by priests from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) as a shrine church dedicated to the celebration of the sacraments of the pre-Vatican II form of the Roman Rite. It is well known for the beauty and reverence of its liturgy.
The parish was established from St Alban's Church, Warrington by the Benedictine priests
The church was designed by E. W. Pugin and its construction started in 1875, just before Pugin's death. It was completed by Peter Paul Pugin in 1877
The church was opened on Thursday 30 August 1877. The splendid reredos and rose window were blessed on 1 November 1885. The very tall and slender southwest tower, a departure from the original design, was designed by Pugin & Pugin and built by Travis & Wevill of Liverpool in 1907. A northeast chapel, the First World War Memorial Chapel, designed by Frederick Walters was added in 1923
built in pale Pierpoint stone and red Runcorn sandstone. The church is in Decorated style

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRR0A3 - The church was founded in the 1950s as a home worship group in the rapidly expanding village as the village became a residence area to workers in the newly established Atomic Energy industry at Risley by Methodists from the nearby village of Glazebury. The church is part of the Leigh and Hindley Circuit
The church sanctuary is somewhat exceptional in being of a triangular shape (??) much like the sweets called Toblerone and being the first modern church since the English reformation in Culcheth. The older village area under its squire was recusant, and thus the Church of England church serving the village was outside the village at Newchurch. The local Roman Catholic church is also outside the village. Culcheth Methodist Church is now home to the old bell from Culcheth Hall chapel, the squire's private Catholic chapel, which has passed through the other churches to Culcheth Methodist Church for safekeeping, and is in regular use as it is rung to announce services and continuation of worship in many forms in the village.
For safety and proof of theft, all metal and equipment within the church is marked with Smartwater for forensic tracing. The bell is no longer hung in the church, but has disappeared in the refurbishment to enlarge the foyer, and the inability of Methodist Organisation to accept risk of it falling or hurting someone if they bumped into it

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JP0KBX - Macclesfield Sunday School is in Roe Street, Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. It started in 1796 as a non-denominational Sunday School in Pickford Street, which catered for 40 children. It was founded by John Whitaker whose objective was to lessen the sum of human wretchedness by diffusing religious knowledge and useful learning among the lower classes of society. Though chapels set up their denominational schools, the Sunday School committee in 1812 elected to erect a purpose-built school on Roe Street. The Big Sunday School had 1,127 boys and 1,324 girls on its books when it opened. The building is now known as The Old Sunday School and is part of Macclesfield Museums.
The role of the Sunday Schools changed with the Education Act 1870. In the 1920s, they promoted sports, and it was common for teams to compete in a Sunday School League. They were social centres hosting amateur dramatics and concert parties. By the 1960s the term Sunday School could refer to the building and not to any education classes, and by the 1970s even the largest Sunday School at Stockport had been demolished. The Macclesfield Large Sunday School was rescued and converted into the Macclesfield Heritage Centre.
The Sunday school closed in September 1973. It had stopped keeping registers in 1967 when average attendance was fourteen. Funds were disbursed to various missionary organisations. Though the fabric of the building was deteriorating it was listed as a Grade II* Listed Building because of its historical significance. Stockport Sunday School had already been lost. A new charitable trust, The Macclesfield Sunday School Heritage Trust, was formed and funds were raised and the building restored. Essential work and fitting out the museum cost ?500,000. The building is now known as The Old Sunday School and is managed by Macclesfield Museums. It has multiple uses which include a Museum with Victorian School Room

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K14160 - The Carnegie Library is in Egerton Street, Runcorn, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building and possesses special architectural and historic interest within a national context. It was built in 1906 as an extension to Waterloo House and the existing library with a grant from Andrew Carnegie, and closed in 2012
In 1902, more library and reading room space was needed. The Runcorn Free Library Committee applied to Andrew Carnegie to fund the extension. Carnegie had provided grants for many other libraries in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Carnegie replied in 1903 that he had received an overwhelming number of applications. In 1904 Carnegie refused the grant as he believed the income of the Library Committee would not support larger premises. An amended application was made and Carnegie gifted ?3,000 in November 1904 to erect a new public library stipulating that a site must also be given for the building. At a Runcorn Urban District Council meeting in June 1905 it was decided to carry out the plans for the library alteration and extension using the ?3,000 gifted by Carnegie. An exterior wall of Waterloo House formed an interior wall of the extended library, both buildings housing the library
the lending department in Waterloo House, the reading rooms and reference department in the new building.
The Carnegie Library was also designed by James Wilding, surveyor and water engineer to the Runcorn Urban District Council

The three golden balls are widely recognised as representing the services historically offered by pawnbrokers, including short-term loans secured against personal possessions. Such signage remains a familiar feature of many UK high streets, particularly in town centres where independent financial services operate alongside mainstream retail.
Also visible in the image is a modern CCTV security camera mounted nearby, creating a visual contrast between historic commercial symbolism and contemporary urban surveillance. The inclusion of the camera reflects current concerns around retail security, crime prevention, and public monitoring in town-centre environments.
Photographed in daylight against a vivid blue sky, the image isolates the sign and camera from surrounding buildings, emphasising form, colour, and meaning. It is well suited to editorial use covering British high streets, local finance, pawnbroking, economic life, surveillance culture, town-centre retail, and social commentary on money and security in the UK

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55J3K - This image shows exterior signage for the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Breakthrough Church, located on St George's Road in Bolton, Greater Manchester. The sign prominently displays the church name, service times, and contact details, serving both as wayfinding and as an invitation to the local community.
The Redeemed Christian Church of God is a global Pentecostal Christian denomination founded in Nigeria and now established across the UK, Europe, and North America. RCCG congregations often play an important role within African and wider Christian communities, providing spiritual support as well as social and community activities.
The Bolton Breakthrough Church operates regular Sunday and midweek worship services, reflecting the vibrant and structured nature of Pentecostal church life. The signage also highlights the church's urban setting, positioned within a mixed-use town-centre environment behind metal railings and adjacent to modern commercial buildings.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering religion in Britain, Pentecostal Christianity, African diaspora communities, urban churches, faith-based organisations, and contemporary religious life in UK towns and cities.

On 3 March 2011, the club announced that the corners of the East Stand at the stadium would be filled in to create a further 2,000 spaces made up of seating and terracing for the 2012 season. The stadium capacity, set at 15,000 for the first sell-out home match against St. Helens in 2012, was increased to 15,200 and can grow to 15,693 as the club proves it can handle the bigger crowds and get extra safety certificates. The club has also announced plans to increase the stadium's capacity to around 22,000 should the need arise.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DD8H4T - Conwy previously known in English as Conway, is a walled market town, community and the administrative centre of Conwy County Borough in North Wales. The walled town and castle stand on the west bank of the River Conwy, facing Deganwy on the east bank. The town formerly lay in Gwynedd and prior to that in Caernarfonshire. The community, which also includes Deganwy and Llandudno Junction, had a population of 14,753 at the 2011 census.
Although the community of Conwy straddles the River Conwy, for postal purposes the areas on the east bank form part of the post town of Llandudno Junction, with the Conwy post town being confined to west bank of the river. The ward on the west bank of the river had a population of 4,065 at the 2011 census.
The resident population of the wider Conwy County Borough was estimated to be 116,200 in an ONS-estimate.

When does the Lymm Dickensian Festival take place?
The Lymm Dickensian Christmas Festival is an annual event, which has taken place for over a quarter of a century in Lymm Village. It is held on the second Saturday in December and is organised and run by the Lymm Dickensian Charity Committee.
Every year the Lymm community comes together with the support of the Lymm Parish Council to take the village back in time to a different era, when Dickens was alive, and where you might see Ebenezer Scrooge strolling through the streets. All of the community becomes involved, and Father Christmas himself takes time out of his busy pre Christmas schedule to attend the event.
There is a festival parade to entertain visitors, where you will see floats from local schools, vintage cars and horse-drawn carriages and of course Santa and his elves. Throughout the village there will be stalls selling local goods, and spreading Christmas cheer. Punch and Judy also take a turn to entertain, along with jugglers, street performers, musicians and Morris Dancers.
It's all in a good cause
All of the profits raised by the Lymm Dickensian Charity Committee each year are donated to a chosen charity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A6YWGW - MIKE Amesbury is calling for an urgent investigation into flooding which hit Northwich over the weekend. The town's MP spent Sunday at the scene along with Environment Agency staff, speaking to residents and businesses who had been impacted by the flooding.
He has now written to the Environment Agency and Environment Secretary Theresa Villiers calling for an urgent probe into the flooding. Waitrose car park was flooded.
Mike said: This has had a devastating impact on many local residents and it's clear questions need to be answered about what happened.
Environment Agency and council staff on the ground did a fantastic job at the scene, but in terms of the wider picture we need to know how this happened so we can ensure it doesn't happen again.
Flood defences were put to the test in July 2018.
New ?7m defences were installed in June 2017, after costly floods hit the town centre ? which sits at the the confluence of the rivers Weaver and Dane ? in 2000 and again in 2012.
While the first phase of demountable barriers was put up on Friday night, Waitrose car park and Dane Street flooded on Saturday ? with photos showing drains in the road struggling to cope.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A4PJM4 - Ewood Park is a football stadium in the English town of Blackburn, Lancashire, and is the home of Blackburn Rovers Football Club ? one of the founder members of the Football League and Premier League. Rovers have played there since they moved from Leamington Road in the summer of 1890. The stadium opened in 1882 and is an all seater multi-sports facility with a capacity of 31,367. It comprises four sections: The Bryan Douglas Darwen End, Riverside Stand (named as such because it stands practically on the banks of the River Darwen), Ronnie Clayton Blackburn End, and Jack Walker Stand, which is named after Blackburn industrialist and club supporter, Jack Walker. The football pitch within the stadium measures 115 by 76 yards (105 m ?? 69 m).
Football had been played on the site since at least 1881
Rovers played four matches there when it was known as Ewood Bridge and was most likely little more than a field. Their first match was against Sheffield Wednesday on 9 April 1881.
Ewood Park was officially opened in April 1882 and during the 1880s staged football, athletics and some form of greyhound racing (not oval). Rovers moved back in in 1890, signing a ten-year lease at an initial annual rent of ?60. Their first match at the ground was against Accrington in September. In 1893, Blackburn Rovers bought the freehold of the ground for ?2500, but came close to disaster soon after when part of a stand collapsed under the weight of a 20,000 strong crowd for the visit of Everton

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BCTGRN - Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is the public body responsible for co-ordinating transport services throughout Greater Manchester in North West England. The organisation traces its origins to the Transport Act 1968, when the SELNEC (South East Lancashire/North East Cheshire) Passenger Transport Executive was established to co-ordinate public transport in and around Manchester. Between 1974 and 2011, it was known as the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE), until a reform of local government in Greater Manchester granted it more powers and prompted a corporate rebranding.[1] The strategies and policies of Transport for Greater Manchester are set by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and its Greater Manchester Transport Committee.
Transport for Greater Manchester is responsible for investments in improving transport services and facilities. It is the executive arm of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority which funds and makes policies for TfGM. The authority is made up of 33 councillors appointed from the ten Greater Manchester districts (Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BCTGY9 - William Robinson purchased the Unicorn Inn from Samuel Hole on 29 September 1838. His eldest son George brewed the first Robinsons Ale there in 1849.
In 1859, Frederic Robinson took over from George and bought a warehouse to the rear of the inn to expand brewing capacity. As a result, Robinsons ale became available at pubs around the Stockport area. To control the quality of ale sold, Frederic began to purchase public houses. From 1878 until his death in 1890, Frederic established twelve pubs which exclusively served his ale. This was the beginning of what was to become an estate of over 300 pubs across the North West of England and North Wales.
The Unicorn Brewery still rests on the foundations of the public house on Lower Hillgate in Stockport.
The brewery continues to be run by the fifth and sixth generations of the Robinson family. The company took over Hartley's Brewery in Ulverston in 1982, closing it and transferring the brewing of Hartley's beers to Stockport in 1991. Robinsons have acquired a number of other breweries over the years, including John Heginbotham, Stalybridge (1915)
T. Schofield & Son, Ashton under Lyne (1926)
Kays Atlas Brewery, Ardwick (1929) and Bell & Co, Stockport (1949).
The brewery owns many historic pubs, including the New Hall Inn in Bowness on Windermere.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RK9X6K - Patisserie Valerie is a chain of caf??s that operates in the United Kingdom. The chain specialises in cakes, and its menu included continental breakfasts, lunches and teas and coffees. The company went into administration in January 2019, prior to a management buyout funded by Causeway Capital Partners.
According to Helene (Leni) Vermeirsch, the niece of the founders, Patisserie Valerie was first opened in 1926 on the corner of Dean Street and Old Compton Street in Soho, London by Esther van Gyseghem, born in Ostende, Belgium on 22 April 1900 and her husband Theophile (Theo) Vermeirsch. There is not known to have been a Valerie in the founders' families, but Esther came to be referred to as Madame Valerie.
The chain has expanded rapidly since 2006, growing from eight shops in 2006 to 192 as of May 2017. It opened its first shop in the Republic of Ireland in 2017, in Debenhams in Blanchardstown Centre.
In April 2014 the company announced plans to raise ?33m on the London Alternative Investment Market, using the sum to reduce its debt.
Trading in the shares of Patisserie Holdings, the parent company of Patisserie Valerie, were suspended on 10 October 2018 following the discovery of potentially fraudulent accounting irregularities, which had led to the possibility that there had been a material mis-statement of the company's accounts.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGPHA7 - Gerrard Winstanley (19 October 1609 ? 10 September 1676) was an English Protestant religious reformer, political philosopher, and activist during The Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. Winstanley was the leader and one of the founders of the English group known as the True Levellers or Diggers for their beliefs, and for their actions. The group occupied public lands that had been privatised by enclosures and dug them over, pulling down hedges and filling in ditches, to plant crops. True Levellers was the name they used to describe themselves, whereas the term Diggers was coined by contemporaries.
Gerrard Winstanley was born on 19 October 1609 and was baptised in the parish of Wigan, then part of the West Derby hundred of Lancashire. He was the son of an Edward Winstanley, mercer. His mother's identity remains unknown and he could have been born anywhere in the parish of Wigan. The parish of Wigan contained the townships of Abram, Aspull, Billinge-and-Winstanley, Dalton, Haigh, Hindley, Ince-in-Makerfield, Orrell, Pemberton, and Upholland, as well as Wigan itself.
He moved in 1630 to London, where he became an apprentice and ultimately, in 1638, a freeman of the Merchant Tailors' Company or guild. He married Susan King, the daughter of London surgeon William King, in 1639. The English Civil War, however, disrupted his business, and in 1643 he was made bankrupt. His father-in-law helped Winstanley move to Cobham, Surrey, where he initially worked as a cowherd

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG982H - Face of Wigan sculpture, Wigan
The Face of Wigan is a dramatic 5.5m high stainless steel sculpture of a face, which is destined to become another iconic image of the borough.
The piece is a new take on an old favourite as its creator, acclaimed English sculptor Rick Kirby explains: The face is a play on the many portraits and busts of the ?good and glorious' that adorn the parks and centres of every town and city throughout Britain.
The sculptured portrait is intended to represent not a single celebrity, but all of the inhabitants of the area, the very people of Wigan. These are the people who make the place what it is today, and indeed have the power to determine what will be the future.
The rear of the piece is a highly reflective surface set at different angles which will mirror fragments of people passing as well as the surrounding landscape.
Mr Kirby is known for a vast collection of striking public art works including ?Continuum' at Alexandra Park Lake in Hastings and ?Cross the divide' at the South Bank in London.
Funding for the project totalling almost ?80,000 was provided by Modus Properties, developers of Wigan's Grand Arcade shopping centre as part of an agreement with Wigan Council to provide a major piece of public art in the town centre.
Louise Pearson, Development Manager for Modus says: We are delighted to have assisted in the delivery of this important piece of public art. Plus, we're happy to see that it is in a prime location to oversee the next phase of regeneration in the town centre.
Consultation about the piece took place with shoppers and visitors to the town centre over the summer of 2007, with people giving their thoughts and suggestions on a number of designs. At the end of the process, The Face of Wigan was the clear winner.
The Face came to its new home at The Wiend in Wigan town centre on Tuesday (December 9).
It will spend up to 18 months in this location before embarking on a tour of different locations in the borough ov

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG9926 - In 1989 Warrington borough council also saw a need for a better arts and theatre complex so re-developed the old courthouse and Centre Sport, sports hall next door into The Pyramid Arts Centre. The Pyramid, opened in 2002, hosts various classes throughout the year for people interested in discovering the arts. Pyramid also hosts a monthly Comedy Store Event, local band nights as well as having a varied programme of weekly classes. One of its studios was named in 2011 after the late Pete Postlethwaite.
The Parr Hall and Pyramid Arts Centre are located in the Cultural quarter of Warrington town centre, in Palmyra Square.
The Parr Hall is the only surviving professional concert hall venue in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
Parr Hall was designed by the local architect William Owen in 1895.
Originally it was built for the people of Warrington by Joseph Parr. Warrington Musical Society gave the first concert.
The hall has hosted concerts and organ recitals from leading orchestras and cathedral organists over the years.
The Rolling Stones performed at the venue on 25 November 1963, The Moody Blues on 1 March 1965 and The Who on 22 March and 11 October 1965. The band James - having sold out concerts at much larger venues - played the Parr Hall on 20 December 1991 to record a promotional video. Other notable artist such as Feeder, The Courteeners, Beady Eye, Arctic Monkeys, and Shane Filan of Westlife have played at the venue, and Jools Holland is a regular performer.
The Parr Hall has also hosted many famous comedians including Andy Parsons, Jimmy Carr and Andi Osho.
It has also been home since 1992 to the Warrington Scouts Gang Show.
The Warrington Male Voice Choir have been regular performers at the Hall for the past 100 years.
The Parr Hall was the chosen venue for the first Stone Roses concert since 1996 when the band announced a last-minute show on 23 May 2012

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3153739395 - 'Bridgwater is a large historic market town and civil parish in Somerset, England. Its population currently stands at around 35,886 as of 2011. Bridgwater is at the edge of the Somerset Levels, in level and well-wooded country. The town lies along both sides of the River Parrett, and has been a major in-land port and trading centre since the industrial revolution. Most of its industrial bases still stand today. Its larger neighbour Taunton, is linked to Bridgwater via a canal, the M5 motorway and the GWR railway line.
Historically, the town had a politically radical tendency. The Battle of Sedgemoor, where the Monmouth Rebellion was finally crushed in 1685, was fought nearby. Notable buildings include the Church of St Mary and the house in Blake Street, largely restored, which was the birthplace of Admiral Blake in 1598, and is now the Blake Museum. The town has an arts centre and plays host to the annual Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival.
The Corn Exchange and market house in Bridgwater, Somerset, England was built in 1834 by John Bowen and extended in 1875, by Charles Knowles. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.
The original market hall, which dates from 1791, is fronted by a circular portico with a domed roof with Tuscan pillars.[2] The distinctive portico was added after the north and south sides of the corn market were demolished for road widening in 1825.
It was originally surrounded by railings to separate the livestock from the food produce. The railings were removed in 1895.
In front of the building is a statue of Robert Blake who was born in the town. The statue was made in 1898 by F. W. Pomeroy and has since been repositioned to face down Cornhill

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6XC - Trump Tower is a 58-floor, 664-foot-tall (202 m) mixed-use skyscraper at 721?725 Fifth Avenue in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City,USA,between East 56th and 57th Streets. It serves as the headquarters for the Trump Organization. Additionally, it houses the penthouse condominium residence of businessman, real estate developer, and former U.S. president Donald Trump, who developed the building and named it after himself. Several members of the Trump family also live, or have resided, in the building. The tower stands on a plot where the flagship store of department-store chain Bonwit Teller was formerly located.
Der Scutt of Poor, Swanke, Hayden & Connell designed Trump Tower, and Trump and the Equitable Life Assurance Company (now the AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company) developed it. Although it is in one of Midtown Manhattan's special zoning districts, the tower was approved because it was to be built as a mixed-use development. Trump was permitted to add more stories to the tower in return for additional retail space and for providing privately owned public space on the ground floor, the lower level, and two outdoor terraces. There were controversies during construction, including the destruction of historically important sculptures from the Bonwit Teller store
Trump's alleged underpaying of contractors
and a lawsuit that Trump filed because the tower was not tax-exempt.
Construction on the building began in 1979. The atrium, apartments, offices, and stores opened on a staggered schedule from February to November 1983. At first, there were few tenants willing to move into the commercial and retail spaces
the residential units were sold out within months of opening. After Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent election, the tower saw large increases in visitation, though security concerns required the area around the tower to be patrolled for several years.

The revival of the Altrincham Market is nothing short of remarkable. From 1290 (yes, 1290!) the market had been at the centre of community life in Altrincham. Throughout the centuries, the market would have been where townsfolk gathered to buy goods, make a living, and spend time in the company of their neighbours.
And yet, the second half of the 20th century brought a period of stagnation. With the fortunes of the town on the downturn and the population size decreasing year over year, the historic market was being run by the council with little love or care. In fact, around a decade ago, Altrincham was voted as having the worse high street in Britain.
So, what has changed?
Well, Nick Johnson came onto the scene. Nick was a property developer and saw something in Altrincham that others failed to spot. In 2013, he won the contract to run the market and quickly set about changing the face of it and in turn Altrincham.
Nick gave the Victorian building a makeover. Cleaning it from top to bottom and restoring some features that had been neglected. He then got to work contacting some of the area's best, local food vendors.
Nick did the same in Manchester city centre with the Mackie Mayor food hall, the big sister of Altrincham Market House. We previously wrote about Mackie Mayor here.
Food And Drink At Altrincham Market House
Since it reopened in 2014, locals and visitors have filled the food hall week after week, and it should come as no surprise ? the food on offer is second to none!
Market House is home to 10 indie food stalls, including Honest Crust, Wolfhouse Kitchen, Tender Cow, Jack in the Box, Reserve Wines, Great North Pie Co., Sam Joseph, and Market House Coffee.
Jack in the Box is an award-winning producer of real ale and cider that operate across the Mackie Mayor and Altrincham

It is one of the 35 major centres identified in the London Plan.
Laid out as a residential district from 1791 and originally part of the manor of Kentish Town and the parish of St Pancras, London, Camden Town became an important location during the early development of the railways, which reinforced its position on the London canal network. The area's industrial economic base has been replaced by service industries such as retail, tourism and entertainment. The area now hosts street markets and music venues which are strongly associated with alternative culture.

The area's industrial economic base has been replaced by service industries such as retail, tourism and entertainment. The area now hosts street markets and music venues which are strongly associated with alternative culture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ6PK - The Black Friar Pub. Post-1903 work by Herbert Fuller-Clark (b.1869, d. after 1912). Original building 1875. Remodelled in several stages beginning 1903, 1914, and 1925. 174 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4. Individual sculptures by Nathaniel Hitch, Frederick Callcott, Henry Poole, and Farmer and Brindley. According to Philip Ward-Jackson,
Hitch was responsible for the stonework grotesques on the exterior, and for a considerable amount of similar work in wood in the interior. Callcott created the pattern for the larger copper relief scenes, representing the day to day activities of the friars. . . . It seems probable that Callcott went on working on those reliefs until shortly before his death in 1925, when the rather more prestigious Henry Poole took over, to produce the relief work in the Small Saloon Bar. One of Callcott's frieze-like panels, entitled Saturday Afternoon, was to be repeated on the screen wall, separating the Luncheon Bar from the Small Saloon Bar, although it looks quite different in its new form, because the figures are much more widely spaced out, and the coloured marbles in the second rendering give it more depth.
Of these artists, Hitch (1841-1935), deserves to be better known. Following an apprenticeship to Farmer and Brindley, he had a very long and distinguished career as a sculptor: his work can be found at Cardiff Castle, suggesting that he was probably a member of William Burges's workforce there, and also in many churches and cathedrals including Truro Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. He was particularly associated with the architects W. D. Car??e and J. L. Pearson.
It is worth noting that the popular London Encyclopaedia disagrees about the dates and artists involved here, stating simply that the building was erected in 1875, the ground floor being remodelled in 1905 by H. Fuller Clark. The outside is covered with mosaics and carved figures by Henry Poole (1903).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ5MJ - The medieval Glasgow Cross was located on the road between High Street and Saltgait. Its modern replacement was built to the south-east of the original location to aid traffic. The town's tron was placed on the steeple of the town house in the 1550s. The Tron Steeple, as it became known, still stands in Glasgow Cross, one of the few remaining pre-Victorian buildings in Glasgow.
The area now known as 'Merchant City' was developed from the 1750s onwards. Residences and warehouses of the wealthy merchant tobacco lords (who prospered in shipping and, amongst other things, tobacco, sugar and tea) were built in the area. The district west of the High Street formed the historic backbone of the city, the development of what is now known as with wide, straight streets, vistas, and squares, marked the beginning of a process of aspirational residential movement westwards that would continue throughout the 19th century and into the 20th with the development of Blythswood Hill, Hillhead and the West End of Glasgow.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H6JMR7 - Aberdeen Harbour was the first publicly limited company in the United Kingdom and is today the principal commercial port in northern Scotland and an international port for general cargo, roll-on/roll-off and container traffic. The harbour also serves NorthLink Ferries, which sail to Kirkwall, Orkney and Lerwick, Shetland. The Aberdeen Maritime Museum (on Shiprow in the city centre) includes exhibitions and displays which tell the story of the harbour and its role in the economy and development of the city.
Originally, the defective harbour, with a shallow sand and gravel bar at its entrance, retarded the trade of Aberdeen, but under various acts since 1773 it was greatly deepened.
By the Harbour Act of 1868, the river Dee near the harbour was diverted from the south at a cost of ?80,000, and 90 acres (364,000 m?) of new ground, in addition to 25 acres (101,000 m?) formerly made up, were provided on the north side of the river for the Albert Basin (with a graving dock), quays and warehouses. A 1050 ft (320 m) long concrete breakwater was constructed on the south side of the stream as a protection against south-easterly gales. On Girdleness, the southern point of the bay, a lighthouse was built in 1833.
The North Pier, built partly by John Smeaton 1775-81, and partly by Thomas Telford 1810-15, extends nearly 3,000 ft (1000 m) into the North Sea and raised the bar.
Victoria Dock, named in honour of the queen's visit to the city in that year, is a wet dock of 29 acres (117,000 m?) and with 6000 ft (1800 m) of quay, was completed in 1848

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBPJT - 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.
The ground floor contains the city's Council Chamber and a Hall of Remembrance for the Liverpool servicemen killed in the First World War. The upper floor consists of a suite of lavishly decorated rooms which are used for a variety of events and functions. Conducted tours of the building are arranged for the general public and the hall is licensed for weddings.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F1J5N7 - Pan Am Flight 103 was a regularly scheduled Pan Am transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit, via London and New York, that was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on Wednesday, 21 December 1988, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew on board, in what became known as the Lockerbie bombing. Large sections of the aircraft crashed onto residential areas of Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 11 more people on the ground.
Following a three-year joint investigation by Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrest warrants were issued for two Libyan nationals in November 1991. In 1999, Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi handed over the two men for trial at Camp Zeist, Netherlands after protracted negotiations and UN sanctions. In 2001, Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was jailed for life after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder in connection with the bombing. In August 2009, he was released by the Scottish Government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in May 2012, remaining the only person to be convicted for the attack. He had continually protested his innocence.
In 2003, Gaddafi accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the families of the victims, although he maintained that he had never given the order for the attack. During the Libyan Civil War, in 2011, a former government official claimed that the Libyan leader had personally ordered the bombing.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F1J99A - Pan Am Flight 103 was a regularly scheduled Pan Am transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit, via London and New York, that was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on Wednesday, 21 December 1988, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew on board, in what became known as the Lockerbie bombing. Large sections of the aircraft crashed onto residential areas of Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 11 more people on the ground.
Following a three-year joint investigation by Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrest warrants were issued for two Libyan nationals in November 1991. In 1999, Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi handed over the two men for trial at Camp Zeist, Netherlands after protracted negotiations and UN sanctions. In 2001, Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was jailed for life after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder in connection with the bombing. In August 2009, he was released by the Scottish Government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in May 2012, remaining the only person to be convicted for the attack. He had continually protested his innocence.
In 2003, Gaddafi accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the families of the victims, although he maintained that he had never given the order for the attack. During the Libyan Civil War, in 2011, a former government official claimed that the Libyan leader had personally ordered the bombing. Numerous conspiracy theories have developed regarding responsibility for the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F1JB6N - Pan Am Flight 103 was a regularly scheduled Pan Am transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit, via London and New York, that was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on Wednesday, 21 December 1988, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew on board, in what became known as the Lockerbie bombing. Large sections of the aircraft crashed onto residential areas of Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 11 more people on the ground.
Following a three-year joint investigation by Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrest warrants were issued for two Libyan nationals in November 1991. In 1999, Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi handed over the two men for trial at Camp Zeist, Netherlands after protracted negotiations and UN sanctions. In 2001, Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was jailed for life after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder in connection with the bombing. In August 2009, he was released by the Scottish Government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in May 2012, remaining the only person to be convicted for the attack. He had continually protested his innocence.
In 2003, Gaddafi accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the families of the victims, although he maintained that he had never given the order for the attack. During the Libyan Civil War, in 2011, a former government official claimed that the Libyan leader had personally ordered the bombing. Numerous conspiracy theories have developed regarding responsibility for the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYAX43 - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.
From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY5KET - The first public baths in the town opened on Church Street on 1 May 1851 The foundation stone for Legh Street Baths was laid in 1865 and they opened in 1866. They were originally privately owned by the Warrington Baths Company who went bankrupt. The council purchased them in 1873 and added two extra pools in 1912. This was commemorated in a foundation stone on Legh Street
The baths closed forever on 31 July 2003 and stood empty until the demolition company Anthony O'Connor & Sons Ltd from Salford moved in on Saturday 16 April 2011. They had a contract to clear the site in preparation for the construction of a new health centre. The baths consisted of four swimming pools, a steam room, laundry, and slipper baths for both ladies and men. The early boilers were typical ships' boilers (there were two of those) running on heavy oil. Phil recalls spending many a happy hour warming the oil line with a blowlamp in order to get the oil thin and warm enough before the boilers would fire up.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1ME - Stornoway (Gaelic: Ste?rnabhagh) is a town on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles) of Scotland.
The town's population is around 8,000, making it the largest town in the Hebrides, with a third of the population of the civil parish of Stornoway, which includes various nearby villages and has a population of approximately 12,000.
Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. It is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. Observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) has long been an aspect of the island's culture. Recent changes mean that Sunday on Lewis is now less different from Sunday on the other Western Isles or the mainland of Scotland.

They include the Hayhurst swing bridge and Northwich Town bridge, which are believed to be the earliest swing bridges powered by electricity. Both have a sectional pontoon, which is immersed in the river and carries about 80 per cent of the weight of the bridge. Dutton Horse Bridge, which carries the towpath over the weir stream at Dutton, is one of the earliest surviving laminated timber structures. Dutton railway viaduct, which was built by Joseph Locke and George Stephenson for the Grand Junction Railway, is grade II* listed, and a civic celebration was held on its completion, as there had been no deaths and no serious injuries to the workers during its construction.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXJHT - National Museums Scotland was formed by Act of Parliament in 1985 , amalgamating the former National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland and The Royal Scottish Museum. The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, was formed in 2006 with the merger of the new Museum of Scotland, with collections relating to Scottish antiquities, culture and history, and the adjacent Royal Museum (so renamed in 1995), with collections covering science and technology, natural history, and world cultures.
The two connected buildings stand beside each other on Chambers Street, by the intersection with the George IV Bridge, in central Edinburgh. The museum is part of National Museums Scotland. Admission is free.
The two buildings retain distinctive characters: the Museum of Scotland is housed in a modern building opened in 1998, while the former Royal Museum building was begun in 1861, and partially opened in 1866, with a Victorian Romanesque Revival facade and a grand central hall of cast iron construction that rises the full height of the building. This building reopened on 29 July 2011 after a ?47 million project to restore and extend the building, and redesign the exhibitions (by Ralph Appelbaum).
The National Museum incorporates the collections of the former National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland, and the Royal Museum. As well as the main national collections of Scottish archaeological finds and medieval objects, the museum contains artifacts from around the world, encompassing geology, archaeology, natural history, science, technology and art. The 16 new galleries reopened in 2011 include 8,000 objects, 80 per cent of which were not formerly on display.
One of the more notable exhibits is the stuffed body of Dolly the sheep, the first successful clone of a mammal from an adult cell. Other highlights include Ancient Egyptian exhibitions, one of Elton John's extravagant suits and a large kinetic sculpture named the Millennium Clock.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJM7HP - A blue promotional sign for the Motability Scheme displayed at a UK car dealership, photographed in a car park filled with new vehicles. The sign promotes the scheme's core message of independence and mobility, highlighting access to a new car through the use of a qualifying mobility allowance, alongside services such as insurance, servicing and breakdown cover.
The Motability Scheme is a long-established UK programme that enables disabled people to lease a car, wheelchair accessible vehicle or powered wheelchair using their government mobility allowance. It is widely used and has played a significant role in improving independence, access to employment and participation in everyday life for hundreds of thousands of people across the UK.
At the same time, the scheme has periodically attracted public and political scrutiny, with critics arguing that elements of the programme may be overly generous, particularly in relation to vehicle choice, cost to the public purse and the level of subsidy involved. Media and policy debates have questioned whether tighter controls, clearer eligibility thresholds or greater transparency are needed to ensure value for money while still protecting disabled people's independence.
Supporters of the scheme counter that access to reliable transport is essential rather than optional for many disabled people, and that the scheme's scale allows for efficiencies that would not otherwise be available through individual vehicle ownership. The Motability programme therefore sits at the centre of wider discussions about welfare provision, disability rights, public spending and social inclusion in the UK.
Photographed in daylight with dealership stock visible in the background, the image offers strong editorial value for coverage of disability policy, welfare debates, transport accessibility, public subsidy and the intersection of social support and private industry.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6XN - Trump Tower is a 58-floor, 664-foot-tall (202 m) mixed-use skyscraper at 721?725 Fifth Avenue in the Midtown Manhattan neighborhood of New York City,USA,between East 56th and 57th Streets. It serves as the headquarters for the Trump Organization. Additionally, it houses the penthouse condominium residence of businessman, real estate developer, and former U.S. president Donald Trump, who developed the building and named it after himself. Several members of the Trump family also live, or have resided, in the building. The tower stands on a plot where the flagship store of department-store chain Bonwit Teller was formerly located.
Der Scutt of Poor, Swanke, Hayden & Connell designed Trump Tower, and Trump and the Equitable Life Assurance Company (now the AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company) developed it. Although it is in one of Midtown Manhattan's special zoning districts, the tower was approved because it was to be built as a mixed-use development. Trump was permitted to add more stories to the tower in return for additional retail space and for providing privately owned public space on the ground floor, the lower level, and two outdoor terraces. There were controversies during construction, including the destruction of historically important sculptures from the Bonwit Teller store
Trump's alleged underpaying of contractors
and a lawsuit that Trump filed because the tower was not tax-exempt.
Construction on the building began in 1979. The atrium, apartments, offices, and stores opened on a staggered schedule from February to November 1983. At first, there were few tenants willing to move into the commercial and retail spaces
the residential units were sold out within months of opening. After Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent election, the tower saw large increases in visitation, though security concerns required the area around the tower to be patrolled for several years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG60W3 - The Borough of Waverley is a local government district with borough status in Surrey, England. The borough's headquarters are in the town of Godalming
other notable settlements are the towns of Farnham and Haslemere and the large village of Cranleigh. At the 2021 Census, the population of the borough was 128,200.
Waverley borders the borough of Guildford to the north, the Mole Valley district to the east, the Horsham and Chichester districts of West Sussex to the south, and the East Hampshire and Hart districts and the borough of Rushmoor in Hampshire to the west and northwest. The borough is named after Waverley Abbey, near Farnham, the earliest Cistercian monastery in Britain. Blackheath Common, in the north of the borough, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Waverley is a Wealden borough, bounded to the north by the Hog's Back section of the North Downs and by the Greensand Ridge. It has the most green space in absolute terms in Surrey at 293.1 km2 (113 sq. mi.) according to the central government-compiled Generalised Land Use database of January 2005, approximately half of which is woodland.
Much of the west of the borough echoes former ownership by the abbey, such as Waverley Cricket Club and the Waverley Arms pubs in Farnham and elsewhere. Equally echoed are the tens of square miles held under Farnham holding of the Bishop of Winchester which took in the western parishes of Frensham and Churt as well as much of Farnham parish since the early 12th century when one such Bishop, Henry of Winchester and of Blois established Farnham Castle as the See's episcopal home but which is today the borough's main surviving castle and a museum to the period.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGGE0C - The Roman Theatre in Mainz, Rhineland Palatinate (ancient Mogontiacum) was excavated in the late 1990s. It is located immediately next to the Mainz R??misches Theater station and was once the largest Roman theatre north of the Alps, with a diameter of 116 metres, a stage-width of 42 metres, and a capacity of roughly ten thousand people.
Mogontiacum owed its significance to its location at the meeting point of the Main and the Rhine. The city provided a convenient base for the defense of the nearby border of the Roman empire, the limes, and for the organisation of military campaigns against the Germanii. As a result, a double legionary camp was built on the site in 13/12 BC, which remained in place until some time after AD 350.
Over time a civilian settlement (Latin vicus) also developed on the site, which became the provincial capital of the newly created province of Germania Superior around AD 80. In this city, a Roman theatre was built, which was probably closely associated with the funerary games held in honour of Drusus. From 9 BC, military parades (decursio militum) were held in honour of Drusus at his cenotaph, the Drususstein, which was only 340 metres away from the theatre. Accordingly, the Roman theatre may have been used for the thanksgiving ceremony (supplicatio) by the representations of the sixty local Gallic communities (Galliarum civitates) in honour of Drusus. Suetonius mentions a theatre at Mogontiacum in his account of events in AD 39. Probably the currently visible stone structure was preceded by an earlier structure in wood.
The theatre was the largest Roman theatre north of the Alps, seating some 10,000 visitors. The diameter of the seating area is 116 metres and the diameter of the orchestra in 42 metres. After the construction of the city wall in the middle of the fourth century AD, for which stone from the theatre was used, the theatre was left outside the walled area and fell into ruin. More and more of the stone from the theatre was take

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F1JA8R - Pan Am Flight 103 was a regularly scheduled Pan Am transatlantic flight from Frankfurt to Detroit, via London and New York, that was destroyed by a terrorist bomb on Wednesday, 21 December 1988, killing all 243 passengers and 16 crew on board, in what became known as the Lockerbie bombing. Large sections of the aircraft crashed onto residential areas of Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 11 more people on the ground.
Following a three-year joint investigation by Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, arrest warrants were issued for two Libyan nationals in November 1991. In 1999, Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi handed over the two men for trial at Camp Zeist, Netherlands after protracted negotiations and UN sanctions. In 2001, Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was jailed for life after being found guilty of 270 counts of murder in connection with the bombing. In August 2009, he was released by the Scottish Government on compassionate grounds after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. He died in May 2012, remaining the only person to be convicted for the attack. He had continually protested his innocence.
In 2003, Gaddafi accepted responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing and paid compensation to the families of the victims, although he maintained that he had never given the order for the attack. During the Libyan Civil War, in 2011, a former government official claimed that the Libyan leader had personally ordered the bombing. Numerous conspiracy theories have developed regarding responsibility for the destruction of Pan Am Flight 103.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEW1MK - Stornoway (Gaelic: Ste?rnabhagh) is a town on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides (also known as the Western Isles) of Scotland.
The town's population is around 8,000, making it the largest town in the Hebrides, with a third of the population of the civil parish of Stornoway, which includes various nearby villages and has a population of approximately 12,000.
Stornoway is an important port and the major town and administrative centre of the Outer Hebrides. It is home to Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (the Western Isles Council) and a variety of educational, sporting and media establishments. Observance of the Christian Sabbath (Sunday) has long been an aspect of the island's culture. Recent changes mean that Sunday on Lewis is now less different from Sunday on the other Western Isles or the mainland of Scotland.
