Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FAP97J - . St Mary the Virgin Parish Church in Eccles, Salford, photographed with a memorial connected with Diana, Princess of Wales, visible in the churchyard area. The view places the local tribute in the setting of the historic parish church, with its tall stone tower rising above trees and surrounding urban development. Community memorials created after the death of Diana in 1997 became a distinctive part of late twentieth-century British public remembrance, ranging from formal monuments to locally initiated plaques, gardens and children's tributes. This photograph records one such expression of memory within Eccles and links a nationally significant royal figure with a specific neighbourhood and place of worship. The image can support editorial coverage of Diana's legacy, local memorials, public grief, royal history, community remembrance, parish churches, civic heritage and the way national events are reflected in local landscapes. It also provides a wider view of St Mary the Virgin and its churchyard in summer 2026, showing how historic religious sites continue to hold layers of social history beyond their primary role as places of Christian worship.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F511BP - A close-up view of Ozzy Osbourne's commemorative pavement star on the Birmingham Walk of Stars in Broad Street, Birmingham. The five-pointed terrazzo-style star is set into the pedestrian paving and contains a small music-note emblem, the name Ozzy Osbourne and an inset bronze plaque recognising his contribution to music and the city's cultural identity.
Ozzy Osbourne was the first person inducted into the Broad Street Walk of Stars, with the honour unveiled on 6 July 2007. The scheme was created to recognise people with strong Birmingham or West Midlands connections who had made an important contribution to music, television, film, theatre, sport, business and other areas of public life.
Born in Aston, Birmingham, Osbourne became internationally famous as the lead singer of Black Sabbath, one of the most influential bands in the development of heavy metal. His distinctive voice and stage persona helped establish Birmingham as a central location in the history of British rock and metal music. After leaving Black Sabbath, he began a successful solo career, launching it with the 1980 album Blizzard of Ozz, which included well-known tracks such as Crazy Train and Mr Crowley.
The pavement marker has become part of Birmingham's music heritage trail and a destination for fans exploring the city's connections with Black Sabbath, heavy metal and popular culture. Its position on Broad Street places it within one of Birmingham's best-known entertainment and nightlife districts, close to other civic tributes celebrating musicians, performers and notable figures linked with the region.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F511YX - Entrance to Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero inside Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Chamberlain Square, Birmingham, West Midlands. A large illuminated red and yellow Ozzy Osbourne logo dominates the black exhibition wall beside the gallery walkway, with visitors moving through museum displays beyond. The free exhibition celebrates the solo achievements, international awards and cultural impact of Birmingham-born rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, together with album artwork from the original Black Sabbath line-up. It opened on 25 June 2025 and was created to coincide with Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning homecoming concert at Villa Park on 5 July 2025. Displays include Grammy Awards, MTV honours, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame accolades, Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham Walk of Stars honours, gold and platinum discs, photography, video and personal memorabilia tracing Osbourne's journey from a working-class childhood in Aston to international rock fame. Ozzy Osbourne died on 22 July 2025 aged 76, after which the exhibition became an important focus for fans commemorating his life and legacy. Continued public demand led Birmingham Museums to extend the exhibition twice, with Working Class Hero remaining on display until 27 September 2026. A fan tribute wall was added in December 2025, and in July 2026 the black Gothic-style throne used during Osbourne's final solo performance and Black Sabbath's final concert was added. The photograph shows the strong graphic identity of the gallery entrance, with the famous Ozzy name rendered in oversized illuminated lettering against dark walls, display panels and cases continuing along the historic museum interior. The high arched ceiling, tiled floor and visitors give context to the setting. This is an indoor summer scene, so no sky or weather conditions are visible. The display forms part of Birmingham's celebration of the singer and the city's internationally significant Black Sabbath and heavy-metal heritage

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F58GDE - Tourists and music fans visit the Black Sabbath Bench and Black Sabbath Bridge on Broad Street in Birmingham city centre, where a large floral OZZY FOREVER tribute stands above the railings in memory of Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. Visitors gather around the bench, take photographs and view bouquets, flowers and other tributes left in remembrance of the Birmingham rock legend. The distinctive bench features portraits of the four original Black Sabbath members, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, and has become an established destination for heavy-metal fans visiting the city. The bench was officially unveiled on 26 June 2019 and overlooks the canal bridge that was renamed Black Sabbath Bridge in honour of the pioneering Birmingham band. Ozzy Osbourne, born in Aston in 1948, became internationally famous as Black Sabbath's frontman and later enjoyed a major solo career. He died on 22 July 2025 aged 76. In the days after his death the Broad Street landmark became a major public memorial, with fans travelling from Britain and overseas to leave flowers, messages and memorabilia. Osbourne's funeral cortege travelled along Broad Street on 30 July 2025, stopping at the Black Sabbath Bridge as thousands gathered to pay their respects. The memorial continued to attract visitors afterwards and remained an important focus for Birmingham's celebration of Osbourne and its internationally recognised heavy-metal heritage. In this summer daytime scene, pedestrians and tourists occupy the broad red-paved public space in front of the bench while the purple and pink floral OZZY FOREVER lettering dominates the background. Modern buildings rise behind the bridge and a clear blue sky and bright sunshine give the scene a lively appearance despite the commemorative setting. The photograph documents music tourism, public remembrance and Birmingham's continuing association with Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3NDH2 - . Gramps memorial spelled out in colourful flowers beside the Forth Bridge at South Queensferry, Scotland, UK. Photographed on 27 June 2026. The recorded location is South Queensferry, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. The personal tribute sits against railings overlooking the Firth of Forth, combining a private act of remembrance with a well-known Scottish landmark. Suitable for editorial use on memorials, flowers, bereavement, remembrance, South Queensferry and the Forth Bridge. Seen through ecclesiastical architecture, the earlier context is that churches combine worship with architecture, local memory and centuries of community past
Stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, Victorian restoration, local benefactors and family past. For transport infrastructure, the historical context is that major crossings can reshape travel patterns and regional economies by reducing journey times and creating more reliable routes
Older bridges often remain alongside newer structures, producing layered transport landscapes. Looking at local history, the longer history is that cemeteries and memorial landscapes are important sources for genealogy and social history
Headstones, monuments and inscriptions record family networks, occupations, religious traditions and evolving approaches to death and remembrance. The 2026 relevance of ecclesiastical architecture comes from the fact that historic places of worship remain important not only for faith but also for tourism, music, community use and local identity
Images of interiors, memorials and churchyards can support stories about conservation, heritage skills and the continuing reuse of sacred buildings. For transport infrastructure, the 2026 context is that bridge maintenance and resilience remain significant infrastructure issues as ageing structures face heavier traffic, weather extremes and rising inspection costs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EPRNMG - . Elton John tribute performer entertaining at Warrington Pride 2026 in Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. WA1 2NT. Photographed on 13 June 2026. The recorded location is Time Square, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK WA1 2NT. The musician wears a vivid red sequinned jacket and tinted glasses while performing at a white piano on an outdoor stage, deliberately echoing the flamboyant stage style associated with Elton John. The colourful costume and recognisable tribute styling make this a strong image for illustrating the role of impersonators and tribute performers in local entertainment programmes while avoiding the implication that the real artist is shown. In relation to local heritage, historical context shows that place-based photography helps document the relationship between named locations and the people or businesses associated with them, especially where formal architectural records are limited. For the story of escape room, it is useful to note that commercial entertainment continually reinvents itself through new technologies and formats, from cinemas and video rental to escape rooms, themed attractions and interactive gaming. The historical setting for band is that british popular music has been closely tied to particular cities, independent labels and venues
Manchester and Liverpool in particular developed internationally recognised scenes whose clubs, rehearsal rooms and concert halls became cultural landmarks. As of 2026, the position for local heritage is that regeneration, housing growth and evolving high streets continue to alter many British towns, giving well-located photographs practical relevance for local-history comparison. For present-day escape room, 2026 is significant because entertainment businesses also contribute to evening footfall and mixed-use regeneration, particularly where former shops are converted to leisure uses. Additional natural-language search terms include local history, place identity, and townscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKP030 - . Jan Molby mural on Sybil Road at the corner with Anfield Road in Liverpool, England, UK. Photographed on 30 May 2026. The recorded location is Sybil Road at Anfield Road, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK. The large monochrome portrait depicts the former Liverpool FC midfielder alongside Denmark-inspired colours and football graphics. Located in the streets surrounding Anfield stadium, the artwork forms part of the extensive collection of football murals celebrating players, managers and club history across the neighbourhood. The narrow gable-end format and recognisable portrait make it a strong individual player tribute within Liverpool's football landscape. For statue, the historical context is that monuments and civic artworks are part of the visual history of place
Their subjects reveal whom a community chose to celebrate, while later reinterpretation or controversy can evolution the meaning of an apparently permanent object. Looking at sports venue, the longer history is that british sports venues often have histories extending far beyond their current appearance, with rebuilt stands, sponsorship names and safety standards reflecting the professionalisation and commercial growth of spectator sport. For statue, the 2026 context is that public art is closely connected with regeneration, tourism, identity and debate about representation
Murals and sculptures can become visitor landmarks while also prompting discussion about whose history is visible in public space. In 2026, sports venue remains relevant because sporting imagery has relevance beyond results, illustrating club identity, fan culture, major-event economics, venue investment and the role of sport in local regeneration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKP03G - . Liverpool FC Women player kissing the FA Women's Championship trophy in a football mural in Liverpool, England, UK. Photographed on 30 May 2026. The recorded location is Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK. The large painted portrait shows a player in red kit embracing the trophy, using strong red and dark tones to celebrate women's football success and club identity. The mural reflects the growing visibility of the women's game and the use of public artwork to recognise players and achievements alongside the long-established visual culture surrounding men's football. Seen through fan culture, the earlier context is that sporting grounds, club colours and event memorabilia become part of local identity as generations of supporters associate particular streets, gates and stands with matchday ritual
Stadium architecture and branding also change repeatedly as clubs modernise facilities. For urban culture, the historical context is that monuments and civic artworks are part of the visual history of place

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EM1WH4 - Jürgen Klopp BOSS mural on Randolph Street in Liverpool, England, UK, celebrating the former Liverpool FC manager. The huge wall painting depicts Klopp smiling in a black cap and jacket with the word BOSS beside him, referencing his status among Liverpool supporters and the club's successful modern era.

The photograph is suitable for editorial coverage of Jürgen Klopp, Liverpool FC, football managers, street art, murals, fan culture, Premier League, football tourism, public art, supporter tributes, Liverpool identity and sports heritage. The close urban setting and monumental scale of the portrait show how football figures have become part of Liverpool's visual landscape beyond the stadium itself.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EM1WHE - Roberto Firmino mural on Rockfield Road near Anfield in Liverpool, England, UK, celebrating the former Liverpool FC striker. The large colourful gable-end artwork shows the Brazilian footballer in Liverpool red against a teal and orange background, creating a prominent piece of football street art close to Anfield stadium.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJD0G5 - . The Vivienne drag performer artwork in Manchester Gay Village, Manchester, England, UK. Photographed on 23 May 2026. The recorded location is Manchester Gay Village, Manchester, Greater Manchester, England, UK. The colourful exterior artwork depicts the Liverpool-born entertainer and winner of RuPaul's Drag Race UK, shown in a dramatic black costume beside a doorway in the Canal Street area. The vivid figure and urban setting provide a strong record of how performers and cultural personalities are represented within the Gay Village. The historical setting for public realm is that monuments and civic artworks are part of the visual history of place
Their subjects reveal whom a community chose to celebrate, while later reinterpretation or controversy can evolution the meaning of an apparently permanent object. Seen through place identity, the earlier context is that place-based photography helps document the relationship between named locations and the people or businesses associated with them, especially where formal architectural records are limited. For navigation, the historical context is that britain's canals were built principally in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to move coal, raw materials and manufactured goods cheaply between industrial districts, ports and growing towns
Locks, basins, bridges and towpaths survive as engineering heritage. In the 2026 discussion of public realm, public art is closely connected with regeneration, tourism, identity and debate about representation
Murals and sculptures can become visitor landmarks while also prompting discussion about whose history is visible in public space. The 2026 relevance of place identity comes from the fact that current place-making policy increasingly emphasises distinctive local identity rather than generic development, so small landmarks and community businesses can become important parts of how an area is represented.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKD8BP - Sir Billy Boston's bronze statue in Believe Square, Wigan town centre, photographed as the rugby league world mourns the death of one of the sport's greatest players. Boston died peacefully aged 92 on 25 August 2026, surrounded by his family, Wigan Warriors announced. Born William John Boston in Cardiff's Tiger Bay on 6 August 1934, he was the son of a Sierra Leonean father and Irish mother and became a pioneering Black British sporting figure. After playing rugby union in Wales, Boston switched codes and signed for Wigan in 1953 while completing National Service. A devastatingly powerful, fast and skilful winger or centre, he became one of the most prolific try scorers rugby league has known. He scored 478 tries in 488 appearances for Wigan between 1953 and 1968 and finished his career with a British record 571 tries in 562 games. Boston represented Great Britain, becoming the first Black player selected for a British Lions rugby league tour when he travelled to Australia and New Zealand in 1954, and was a member of the Great Britain team that won the 1960 Rugby League World Cup. His Wigan honours included three Challenge Cup victories and a league championship. He later received an MBE in 1996 and in 2025 became the first rugby league player to be awarded a knighthood. The life-size bronze sculpture by Steve Winterburn was unveiled in Believe Square on 3 September 2016. It depicts Boston in his playing kit, carrying a rugby ball and striding forward, while its plinth commemorates his remarkable 571 career tries and incorporates a reminder of Wigan's former Central Park ground. The memorial has become a civic landmark celebrating Boston's achievements, his importance to Wigan Warriors and his wider role in breaking racial barriers in British sport. Following news of his death, the statue provides a natural focus for remembrance, tributes and editorial coverage of his life, sporting legacy and place in British rugby league history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3NDJT - Large gable-end mural in Cahersiveen, County Kerry, commemorates Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty, the Irish priest known as the Pimpernel of the Vatican . The artwork depicts O'Flaherty in spectacles and a vivid red cassock against a pale wall, with his name, title, Cahersiveen connection and the dates 1898“1963 displayed. Its red, grey, black and white palette gives the portrait the character of a public memorial and makes it a conspicuous feature of the townscape.
O'Flaherty became internationally known during the Second World War, when Rome was occupied by German forces. From Vatican City, he helped coordinate a clandestine network of safe houses for escaped Allied prisoners of war, Jewish people, political fugitives and civilians threatened by Nazi persecution. Working with clergy, diplomats, local families and other volunteers, the network provided shelter, food, money, false papers and routes to safety. O'Flaherty repeatedly crossed between Vatican territory and occupied Rome despite Gestapo surveillance and attempts to capture him.
Born in County Cork in 1898 and raised in Killarney, County Kerry, O'Flaherty trained for the priesthood in Rome and was ordained in 1925. He later served in the Vatican diplomatic service and as an official of the Holy Office. His wartime work made him one of Ireland's best-known humanitarian figures, associated with courage, ingenuity, resistance to fascism and help offered regardless of nationality or religion.
After suffering a stroke in 1960, O'Flaherty returned to Ireland and lived with his sister in Cahersiveen during his final years. He died in 1963 and was buried near the town's Daniel O'Connell Memorial Church. The mural has a strong local connection and wider importance within Irish, Vatican, Holocaust and wartime history. For visitors travelling through Cahersiveen, the Ring of Kerry and the Iveragh Peninsula, it is a striking reminder of an Irish priest whose underground rescue work protected thousands in occupied Rome.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E3P8TF - . Stu Allan DJ tribute artwork in Manchester. Photographed on 28 June 2025. The recorded location is Manchester, Greater Manchester, England, UK. Seen through community art, the earlier context is that public art turns streets and buildings into records of local culture
Murals, statues and memorial sculpture can commemorate people and events, celebrate industry, respond to politics or simply enliven public space, while materials and style often identify a particular era. The 2026 relevance of community art comes from the fact that contemporary street art continues to blur the line between unofficial expression, commissioned mural and tourist attraction
Images are therefore relevant to urban culture, creative industries, heritage interpretation and place-making. Relevant synonyms and subject phrases include cultural identity, visual culture, memorial art, public realm, cultural landmark, 255A9791, and music.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGWM7B - Commemorative stone marks the Cheshire Lieutenancy Copse planted at Arley Hall in Cheshire as part of the Queen's Green Canopy initiative. The copse was planted in November 2022 in remembrance of the late Queen Elizabeth II and to commemorate her Platinum Jubilee and 70 years of service.
The photograph shows a tall, naturally shaped piece of Irish Quartz positioned beside the newly planted trees. A circular bronze plaque bearing the Queen's Green Canopy emblem is mounted on its face, accompanied by sculpted metal leaves and botanical decoration. The stone was supplied by stonemason Jon O'Grady, while the central plaque and leaf adornments were created by award-winning artist Emma Rodgers.
The Cheshire Lieutenancy planting was celebrated at an official ceremony in May 2023. Arley was selected for the memorial copse by the Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, Lady Redmond MBE, with the support of Lord and Lady Ashbrook. The trees were funded by the Lord Lieutenant and Deputy Lieutenants and planted with assistance from the Green Task Force charity.
Predominantly native and ornamental species were chosen to provide seasonal colour, wildlife value and year-round interest. They include English oak, maple, cherry, silver birch, crab apple, hawthorn and whitebeam. As the young trees mature, the site will develop into a permanent living memorial within the rural Arley Estate landscape.
The Queen's Green Canopy was a nationwide tree-planting programme established to mark the 2022 Platinum Jubilee. Individuals, schools, community organisations, charities, councils and landowners were encouraged to plant trees to create an environmental legacy for future generations. Following Queen Elizabeth II's death, the initiative was extended until March 2023 to allow further planting in her memory.
The Arley copse is situated near the estate entrance opposite Kennels Green. Although Arley Hall lies within easy reach of Warrington, its official postal address is Arley, Northwich. This image

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF8CY - Sir Billy Boston's bronze statue in Believe Square, Wigan town centre, seen following the announcement of the rugby league great's death aged 92 on 25 August 2026. The full-length memorial shows Boston striding forward with a rugby ball tucked in one arm, recalling the power, pace and confidence that made him one of the outstanding players of the post-war game. Born William John Boston in Cardiff's Tiger Bay on 6 August 1934, he became a pioneering Black British sporting figure after moving from rugby union to rugby league and signing for Wigan in 1953. Boston scored 478 tries in 488 appearances for Wigan between 1953 and 1968 and finished his career with a British record 571 tries in 562 games. He represented Great Britain with distinction, toured Australia and New Zealand with the Lions in 1954 and was part of the side that won the 1960 Rugby League World Cup. His honours with Wigan included three Challenge Cup victories and a league championship, while his reputation rested on a rare combination of speed, strength, balance and prolific finishing. Boston's significance went beyond statistics. As one of the most prominent Black sportsmen in Britain during the 1950s and 1960s, he helped break racial barriers in professional sport and became a hugely admired figure in Wigan and across rugby league. He was appointed MBE in 1996 and in 2025 became the first rugby league player to receive a knighthood. The life-size bronze statue by sculptor Steve Winterburn was unveiled in Believe Square in September 2016 and has become a prominent civic landmark. Its plinth records his remarkable achievements and links the memorial to Wigan's deep rugby heritage and the former Central Park era. Following news of Sir Billy Boston's death, the statue takes on added significance as a place of remembrance and tribute, representing an extraordinary sporting career and the enduring legacy of a player whose achievements and cultural importance reached far beyond the rugby field.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MGPDP7 - Blacklers was a large department store on the corner of Elliot Street and Great Charlotte Street in Liverpool, England. The store was famous for its lavish Christmas grotto and its rocking horse, Blackie, which is now on display in the Museum of Liverpool. The store, which at its peak employed a thousand people, also has connections to The Beatles: George Harrison worked as an apprentice electrician at Blacklers in 1959, and Pete Best's mother Mona bought his drum kit from the Blacklers music department.
Blacklers was founded by partners Richard John Blackler and A.B. Wallis in the early twentieth century. Blackler died in 1919 and was succeeded as a partner in the business by his wife Margaret.
Despite the building being severely damaged in The Blitz of May 1941 during World War II, the business survived. Temporary outlets were created in Bold Street and Church Street and the first part of the new store opened on 29 March 1953.
Margaret Blackler died in 1957 without children, at which point the store became the property of several individuals, of which the major shareholder was the sportswoman Vera Kingston (Margaret's god-daughter). In 1983 following Vera's death the store was sold on once again, and all links to the original owners disappeared. The store remained open only a few years more, closing in April 1988.
The site now includes a Wetherspoons chain pub, named Richard John Blackler in honour of the store's founder.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K0KDG6 - Penny Lane is a road in the south Liverpool suburb of Mossley Hill. The name also applies to the area surrounding its junction with Smithdown Road and Allerton Road, and to the roundabout at Smithdown Place that was the location for a major bus terminus, originally an important tram junction of Liverpool Corporation Tramways. The roundabout was a frequent stopping place for John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison during their years as schoolchildren and students. Bus journeys via Penny Lane and the area itself subsequently became familiar elements in the early years of the Lennon“McCartney songwriting partnership. In 2009, McCartney reflected:
Penny Lane was kind of nostalgic, but it was really [about] a place that John and I knew ... I'd get a bus to his house and I'd have to change at Penny Lane, or the same with him to me, so we often hung out at that terminus, like a roundabout. It was a place that we both knew, and so we both knew the things that turned up in the story.
Lennon's original lyrics for In My Life had included a reference to Penny Lane. Soon after the Beatles recorded In My Life in October 1965, McCartney mentioned to an interviewer that he wanted to write a song about Penny Lane. A year later, he was spurred to write the song once presented with Lennon's Strawberry Fields Forever. McCartney also cited Dylan Thomas's nostalgic poem Fern Hill as an inspiration for Penny Lane. Lennon co-wrote the lyrics with McCartney. He recalled in a 1970 interview: The bank was there, and that was where the trams sheds were and people waiting and the inspector stood there, the fire engines were down there.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K11NY4 - A Manchester Arena bombing memorial detail is shown inside Manchester Victoria Station, with a black remembrance plaque on a wooden mount reading 22nd May 2017 , 22:31 and 22 , alongside the Manchester worker bee symbol fixed to a yellow brick wall. The image records a public place of remembrance for the 22 people killed in the terrorist attack at Manchester Arena after an Ariana Grande concert on 22 May 2017, as well as the many people injured, traumatised or affected by the events of that night. Victoria Station is closely connected with the Arena and became an important focus for flowers, cards, messages, artwork and public tributes in the days, months and years after the attack. The worker bee, long associated with Manchester's industrial identity, became especially powerful after the bombing as a symbol of solidarity, resilience, compassion and collective civic response. This close-up photograph is useful for sensitive editorial coverage of remembrance, terrorism, public mourning, memorial culture, the Manchester Arena inquiry, victim support, city resilience, anniversaries, transport disruption, music venue security, community solidarity and the role of ordinary public spaces in national grief. The plaque's stark date and time, the number 22 and the bee motif give the image strong symbolic value without showing mourners or private messages too closely. It can illustrate stories about Manchester Victoria Station memorials, One Love Manchester, civic remembrance, counter-terrorism, public safety, mental health support for survivors, bereaved families, commemorative anniversaries and the wider meaning of the phrase Manchester Strong. The related Glade of Light memorial, near Manchester Cathedral and Chetham's School of Music, now provides the city's formal garden of remembrance, while the Victoria Station tributes remain deeply connected to the original location and immediate aftermath.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JH06KJ - Initiated by The Pete Shelley Memorial Campaign, the new 200msq mural sits at the heart of the late punk rocker's hometown.
Huge new mural of punk rock singer and guitarist Pete Shelley has appeared in Leigh, Greater Manchester
Created in tribute to the late punk rock icon, it sits in the heart of the community where he was born and grew up and still has family today.
Based on the cover of The Buzzcocks' 1978 single Ever Fallen In Love and a portrait of Shelley, created by artist Chris Gabrin in the same year, it's been designed by artists Malcolm Garrett and Akse P19.
The latter is well known in the city for his photo-realistic portraits of pop culture icons, and his work is often seen popping up in prime locations across Manchester.
Situated close to Leigh Town Hall and the historic Turnpike Centre, the new mural is Akse's biggest yet “ sitting smack bang in the heart of Leigh. Initiated by The Pete Shelley Memorial Campaign, it has taken over three years of fundraising in order to complete the project.
At a whopping 200 meters squared, it's not an easy one to miss if you're in the area and has taken around a week to complete “ with the finishing touches, including a final coat of protective varnish, being applied by the street artist this afternoon.
Whilst the artwork has been unfolding over the past week, locals have had some fun trying to guess who it might be “ with Akse posting a range of updates to his social media showing the piece at various stages of completion
Pete was always incredibly proud of his northern roots, and we hope that the mural will help Pete's legacy live on and inspire more young artists and musicians to break down barriers and follow their dreams

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RFF5HA - Canal Street, the centre of the Manchester Gay Village, is a street in Manchester city centre in North West England. The pedestrianised street, which runs along the west side of the Rochdale Canal, is lined with gay bars and restaurants. At night time, and in daytime in the warmer months, the street is filled with visitors, often including gay and lesbian tourists from all over the world. The northern end of the street meets Minshull Street and the southern meets Princess Street
part of the street looks across the Rochdale Canal into Sackville Park.
90's Focus led to several of the pubs on or near Canal Street acquiring a predominantly gay clientele. In 1991, Manto (Manchester Tomorrow) bar opened at no. 46. It was built in 1989 by Benedict Smith Architects. Unlike the other gay bars at that time, Manto had large glass windows, allowing the casual passer-by to view what was going on inside. Previously, many establishments catering for the gay community were often keen to conceal activities from the general public, but the architectural design of Manto was seen as a queer visual statement of we're here, we're queer “ get used to it, and a brick-and-mortar refusal to hide any more, or to remain underground and invisible.
Over the next decade, more numerous and larger bars opened along the canal side, turning Canal Street into the centre of the most successful gay village in Europe. Because of this, the Canal Street street signs are regularly defaced to read Anal Treet or Anal Street. The success was further enhanced by the use of Canal Street and its bars in several television series, including Bob and Rose and Queer as Folk, both written by Russell T Davies.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RFF68B - This new mural is our Manc tribute to those killed in the Manchester Arena attack.
The huge image of 22 Manchester worker bees has been emblazoned on a wall on the side of the Koffee Pot building in the heart of the Northern Quarter.
Each bee, pictured swarming around a honey heart, represents one of the innocent people killed in the horrific attack.
It has been completed over last weekend by graffiti artist Russell Meeham , also know as ˜Qubek'. As word spread about the work of art taking shape people came past to see what he was doing. When the last bee was competed it drew a round of applause.

Two days after the attack, Russ painted the old toilet block in Stevenson Square with bees and two hands joined together in a heart.
It prompted the M.E.N to commission him to create the mural.
Working from atop a cherry picker armed with dozens of cans of spray paint and some music, Russ spent two days creating his masterpiece.
Cafe bosses have previously turned down all requests for it to be used for a mural but kindly agreed to this one.
Speaking as he worked on his mammoth tribute Russ said: It's simple but effective, without being too morbid. Everyone will know why we've painted it and it's nice to have been involved in the project.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDEYT1 - Since the onset of the Troubles in 1971, Nationalist and Loyalist communities throughout Northern Ireland have been divided by Peace Walls. These large stone and steel constructions were designed to protect neighbourhoods from sporadic attacks and retain a sense of peace and protection.
Of the city's 17 walls, West Belfast's sections are the most visited. Once in the area it's easy to determine which side of the divide you're on: red, white and blue kerbstones, Loyalist murals and Union Jacks indicate you're on the Shankill. If the kerbs are green, white and gold, the flag is Irish and the murals are Republican, you're on the Falls.
You can cross from one side to the other via access roads at Lanark Way and Northumberland Street. These roads close in times of heightened tension, which may well be the case during the marching season (see The Twelfth).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE18C6 - The Albert Memorial Clock (more commonly referred to as the Albert Clock) is a clock tower situated at Queen's Square in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It was completed in 1869 and is one of the best known landmarks of Belfast.
In 1865 a competition for the design of a memorial to Queen Victoria's late Prince Consort, Prince Albert, was won by W. J. Barre, who had earlier designed Belfast's Ulster Hall. Initially Barre was not awarded his prize and the contract was secretly given to Lanyon, Lynn, and Lanyon, who had come second. Following public outcry the contract was eventually awarded to Barre. The construction cost of £2,500 (2011: £196,000) was raised by public subscription.
The sandstone memorial was constructed between 1865 and 1869 by Fitzpatrick Brothers builders and stands 113 feet tall in a mix of French and Italian Gothic styles. The base of the tower features flying buttresses with heraldic lions. A statue of the Prince in the robes of a Knight of the Garter stands on the western side of the tower and was sculpted by SF Lynn. A two tonne bell is housed in the tower and the clock was made by Francis Moore of High Street, Belfast.[3][4]
As a result of being built on wooden piles on marshy, reclaimed land around the River Farset, the top of the tower leans four feet off the perpendicular. Due to this movement, some ornamental work on the belfry was removed in 1924 along with a stone canopy over the statue of the Prince.
Being situated close to the docks, the tower was once infamous for being frequented by prostitutes plying their trade with visiting sailors. However, in recent years regeneration has turned the surrounding Queen's Square and Custom's House Square into attractive, modern public spaces with trees, fountains and sculptures.
In 1947, the film Odd Man Out was filmed partly in Belfast, with the Albert Clock as a central location, although neither the town nor the clock is explicitly identified.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H0N8WP - . A grounded documentary photograph made at the recorded location in 2016, combining the immediate subject with evidence of the surrounding streetscape, public realm, business activity or local character. The main point of reference is Accident at a Pelican Road Crossing, Howley, Warrington, Cheshire, England UK. The wider scene also brings together public-transport wayfinding, local bus network, historic inscription, public commemoration, changing streetscape, before-and-after reference, archival record, social history, regional identity, commemorative plaque, bus route infrastructure, memorial inscription, social-history memorial, and local history. Today's relevance is strengthened by public commemoration, bereavement and the continuing question of the value of inscriptions and motifs for local history. From a 2025-onward perspective, passenger information and local connectivity are closely linked to this subject, alongside the challenge of maintaining reliable services outside dense urban centres. Small period details of building condition and alterations at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following redevelopment. Further associations within the scene are memorial culture, everyday life, tribute design, bus infrastructure, local mobility, roadside transit, commemorative object, and contemporary social history. The combination of Crossing, Howley, Accident, and Pelican anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. The wider setting at the recorded location matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. Another useful connection is public commemoration and the value of inscriptions and motifs for local history in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. The period view preserves part of the area's social history as a date-specific reference.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H0N955 - . This dated editorial view of the recorded location in 2016 captures more than the immediate subject, retaining clues about local use, design, activity and change. The photograph centres on Accident at a Pelican Road Crossing, Howley, Warrington, Cheshire, England UK. Other connected aspects include roadside transit, public realm, local mobility, place identity, public memorial, public commemoration, period detail, before-and-after reference, transport accessibility, local character, historic inscription, public transport stop, passenger transport, and tribute design. Current relevance extends to heritage conservation and memorial maintenance, particularly through how commemorative objects become part of the identity of a place. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into passenger information and decarbonisation, not least because of how local bus services affect access to work, education and healthcare. Future viewers can use this scene from the recorded location to compare street furniture and boundaries with whatever follows after changing commercial priorities. The location also brings in visual archive, local bus network, documentary photography, community memory, street-side transport, memorial culture, commemorative plaque, and changing land use. The recorded references to Accident, Howley, Pelican, and Crossing preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. The period setting at the recorded location helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. The setting also helps illustrate heritage conservation and how commemorative objects become part of the identity of a place within the real-world context of the recorded location. The image also provides a reference for local connectivity and the importance of bus stops as the physical interface with public transport within the specific setting of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7KWK - A longcase clock, also tall-case clock, floor clock, or grandfather clock, is a tall, freestanding, weight-driven pendulum clock with the pendulum held inside the tower or waist of the case. Clocks of this style are commonly 1.8“2.4 metres (6“8 feet) tall.
The case often features elaborately carved ornamentation on the hood (or bonnet), which surrounds and frames the dial, or clock face. The English clockmaker William Clement is credited with the development of this form in 1670. Until the early 20th century, pendulum clocks were the world's most accurate timekeeping technology, and longcase clocks, due to their superior accuracy, served as time standards for households and businesses. Today they are kept mainly for their decorative and antique value.

The courthouse closed in June 1998. It was sold to local investor Barry Gilligan in September 2003 for £1. His plans for the courthouse include redeveloping it as a tourist attraction and a hotel.
On Thursday 12 March 2009, the courthouse suffered significant damage in a fire and a series of further fires in August 2009 caused further massive damage to the structure, prompting questions into the cause and leaving the future of the building in question.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7M73 - St Anne's Cathedral, also known as Belfast Cathedral, is a cathedral of the Church of Ireland in Donegall Street, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is unusual in serving two separate dioceses (Connor and Down and Dromore), yet being the seat of neither (it is geographically in the Diocese of Connor), it is therefore not a cathedral in the truest sense of the word, a cathedral being a church housing the seat of a bishop.[1] It is, however, titled as such. It is the focal point of the Cathedral Quarter, Belfast.
The first architect was Sir Thomas Drew, the foundation stone being laid on 6 September 1899 by the Countess of Shaftesbury. The old parish church of St Anne by Francis Hiorne of 1776 had continued in use, up until 31 December 1903, while the new cathedral was constructed around it
the old church was then demolished. The Good Samaritan window, to be seen in the sanctuary, is the only feature of the old church to be retained in the cathedral. Initially, only the nave of the cathedral was built, and this was consecrated on 2 June 1904.
In 1924 it was decided to build the west front of the cathedral as a memorial to the Ulstermen and women who had served and died in World War I. The foundation stone for this was laid by Governor of Northern Ireland, the Duke of Abercorn on 2 June 1925 and the completed facade, to an amended design by the architect Sir Charles Archibald Nicholson, was dedicated in June 1927.
In the meantime, the central crossing, in which the choir sits, was built between 1922 and 1924. The Baptistery, to plans drawn up by the late W H Lynn, who had assisted Sir Thomas Drew, was dedicated in 1928, and the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, with its beautiful mosaics depicting Saint Patrick, was dedicated on 5 July 1932, the 1500th anniversary of the arrival of St Patrick in Ireland.

This image is taken from a large joiner I took on May 10th 1994 from Liberty Island in New York harbour. An hour before I had witnessed a solar eclipse. To one side was the statue of liberty and the other, the New York Manhatten Skyline, crowned by the Twin Towers of The World Trade Centre and the wall Street financial district. The day before I had visited the observation deck of the south tower.
A bombing had been attempted the previous year on the 26th February
The joiner has been on my wall, appropriately mounted on black card for many years.
Too many innocents died that day, a result of a twisted idealogy that resulted in 767 aircraft being used as weapons and decades of failure of the west in bringing peace and lasting compromise to many poorer nations or ones where there is a financial interest.
The framing of the response as a 'war on terror' or a 'crusade' has been less than helpful from Mr Bush and Blair. Both of which have moved on to profit from their memoirs and speaking tours. Blair in his 'Envoy of the Quartet on the Middle East' role in the first nine days of the 2008\u20132009 Israel-Gaza conflict, was allegedly spotted at the opening of the Armani store at Knightsbridge, London. Aides said he had been in phone contact with other world leaders since the fighting began. Yeah right.
A decade on, have we done everything to make this a safer, fairer world?
It's my hunch the faster we do, the easier it will be to tackle some of the roots what causes radicalism across the world, whatever your religious beliefs may be or whoever you believed your prophet to be (or maybe he/she has not arrived yet).

Mural of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis painted over with advert
Rapper Aitch has vowed to remove advert for his new album and restore the painting of ˜local hero' in Manchester
A mural of former Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis on Port Street, Manchester, has been painted over with an advert for local rapper Aitch, prompting such an outcry that the rapper has promised to restore the original painting.
Aitch, an MC from Moston in north Manchester, said he had no control over which billboards were used to advertise his new album and would never have sanctioned such an act of disrespect against a local hero .
It's come to light that the iconic Ian Curtis mural on Port Street has been painted over with my album artwork. This is the first time I've heard of this, me and my team are getting this fixed pronto. No way on earth would I want to disrespect a local hero like Ian, he tweeted. I don't just choose locations for billboards, he added.
Aitch's response was welcomed by Peter Hook, Joy Division's bassist, who had responded with dismay to the mural being painted over as very sad to see .
Thank you @OfficialAitch great gesture, he tweeted.
Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, also commended Aitch for fixing the mistake.
It should never have happened and he shouldn't have been put in this position. Ian is a true icon of our city. He must be fully restored and left in his place for time in memoriam. Thanks to everyone for showing what Ian means to us, tweeted Burnham.
The monochrome mural by graffiti artist Akse P19 was created in October 2020 to commemorate World Mental Health Day. It depicts Curtis performing in Brussels in 1979, a year before he killed himself.
