Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FYF1TG - . A yellow and green North West Ambulance Service emergency vehicle is parked in Church Street, Liverpool, with its rear doors, fluorescent markings and high-visibility livery clearly visible. Shoppers pass beside nearby retail stores. The yellow-and-green ambulance carries NORTH WEST AMBULANCE SERVICE lettering and NHS identifiers, with emergency service markings visible along its side. It is photographed in a busy Liverpool shopping street among pedestrians, shopfronts and traffic. This is a street-level image of a marked response vehicle and its urban surroundings
the photograph supplies the visual evidence of the vehicle's presence. A yellow-and-green North West Ambulance Service emergency ambulance is stopped beside a busy shopping street. The side carries NHS branding, EMERGENCY AMBULANCE text and large emergency contact numbers
reflective chevrons are visible at the rear. Pedestrians walk past the vehicle, and surrounding shopfronts establish an urban public setting. The image documents the ambulance and its markings at a particular location, without indicating the reason for its presence. The painted street sign has a thin pale border, fixed to a rough masonry wall with dark joints and uneven stones. The words RUE ST-JEAN are centred in two lines and can be read clearly. The lantern on the opposite face of the corner uses a blue-grey metal hood and a glass housing. The scene records the juxtaposition of long-lived street-name infrastructure and old stone building surfaces within the lanes of Lyon's historic centre. The emergency ambulance is photographed from its rear quarter on a busy pedestrianised shopping street. Its fluorescent yellow and green chequered livery, rear chevrons, blue lights and North West Ambulance Service name are visible, with shoppers and shopfronts beyond. The yellow ambulance body has green chequered markings and 'EMERGENCY AMBULANCE' lettering high on its side.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FXKXXM - . A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van belonging to the Policy Expert insurance claims response operation is parked beside a tree-lined road in Warrington, Cheshire. The high-roof commercial vehicle is photographed at a three-quarter angle, showing the front grille, windscreen, near-side mirror and long side panel. Its predominantly purple advertising wrap has pink, white and green elements and a large Policy Expert logo. The slogan Experts who get things done appears in substantial white lettering on the side, with other branding referring to insurance and claims support. A smaller promotional image and additional printed information are positioned towards the rear of the van. The Mercedes emblem is visible on the front, and black wheel arches, wheels and darker trim provide contrast with the brightly coloured body. Trees and dense foliage occupy the background
daylight catches the vehicle as it stands by the kerb. The van's tall cargo profile and extended side surfaces create room for large company branding legible to nearby road users. Policy Expert is a UK insurance brand offering products including home insurance. A vehicle branded for claims response associates the insurer's identity with assistance after a policyholder reports damage or another covered incident. The side slogan and Policy Expert logo are readable beside the van's long windowless cargo panel. Behind the parked vehicle, the trees and roadside greenery form a quiet background for the brightly wrapped commercial bodywork.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FKKKR2 - Chery Tiggo 9 Super Hybrid SUVs displayed outside a UK dealership, illustrating the rapid expansion of Chinese car manufacturers in the British new-car market. Chery describes the Tiggo 9 as a seven-seat plug-in Super Hybrid SUV combining a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine with electric drive, an official electric range of up to 87 miles and a starting UK price of £43,105. Chinese manufacturers including Chery, BYD, MG, Geely, Omoda, Jaecoo and Leapmotor are increasing their presence in Britain through competitive pricing, high equipment levels, hybrid and electric technology and expanding dealer networks. Recent reporting indicates Chinese brands are taking a growing share of UK registrations, while Britain remains more open to Chinese vehicle imports than the European Union. The EU has imposed additional anti-subsidy duties on battery-electric vehicles manufactured in China, with rates varying by producer, while the UK has not introduced equivalent measures. That divergence has become increasingly relevant to wider UK-EU trade discussions. European officials have pressed Britain to align more closely with EU trade defences if it wants deeper participation in European industrial supply chains and Made in Europe initiatives. Closer customs or trade alignment could therefore create difficult choices between protecting European automotive manufacturing, maintaining independent UK trade policy and preserving access to competitively priced Chinese vehicles. The issue is complicated further by rapid growth in Chinese plug-in hybrids, which are not covered in the same way as the EU's current battery-EV duties. The photograph can illustrate Chinese automotive expansion, hybrid technology, EV competition, dealership growth, consumer choice, tariff divergence, post-Brexit trade policy, UK-EU alignment, European industrial policy, battery supply chains and the changing balance of power in the global car industry

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JFTMG0 - Crash at the Silverstone British F1 Grand Prix 03/07/2022 at 1st corner
The race started at 15:00 local time on 3 July. Max Verstappen took the lead at the start from Carlos Sainz Jr., while Lewis Hamilton moved up to third. Zhou Guanyu and George Russell both experienced poor starts and were passed by Nicholas Latifi. Gasly attempted to pass between Zhou and Russell, but Russell moved to the left in an attempt to keep position. Subsequently, Gasly and Russell made contact and caused Russell to lose control and hit Zhou. The impact flipped Zhou's car and he skid across the track upside down. His car bounced over the tyre barrier, hit the protection fence and came to a rest between the fence and tyre barrier. As a result of the incident, Valtteri Bottas slowed slightly, which caused Alexander Albon to also slow. Sebastian Vettel attempted to brake, but was too close to Albon and hit him. Albon spun into the concrete pit wall, rebounded back on the track and was hit by Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon, both of whom received damage but were able to return to the pits. However, Albon was unable to continue. Russell, who had spun, stopped to help the marshalls with Zhou's flipped car. When he returned to his car, he failed to turn the engine on and was forced to retire.
Race control red-flagged the race due to both crashes. Zhou was extracted from his Alfa Romeo and stretchered to an ambulance where he was taken to the race medical centre. Albon was also taken to the race medical centre but was later transferred by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for observations. Both were later released

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FCW75T - . Yellow Trotters Independent Trading Co novelty van in Ashton-under-Lyne. The bright yellow three-wheeler carries Trotters Independent Trading Co-style lettering, deliberately evoking the famous van associated with Del Boy in the British sitcom Only Fools and Horses. Ashton-under-Lyne is one of the principal town centres of Tameside in eastern Greater Manchester. Its streets retain a dense mix of Victorian and twentieth-century commercial buildings, banks, markets, small independents and vacant or altered shopfronts. Like many traditional English centres it has faced competition from out-of-town retail, online shopping and changing leisure patterns. Photographs of individual premises and tired streetscapes provide useful evidence for stories about regeneration, vacancy, adaptive reuse, local enterprise, business rates and the uneven fortunes of post-industrial town centres. The location is Ashton-under-Lyne, Tameside, Greater Manchester, England. This geographical detail helps distinguish the subject from similar businesses, buildings or scenes elsewhere and gives the photograph stronger value for local, regional and comparative stock-photo/gotonysmith-Editorial.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>editorial use. Details that might seem mundane at the moment of photography can later help date a streetscape or explain how a service was delivered, which is one reason straightforward editorial documentation remains useful to archives and publishers. As an editorial stock image, it also records the typography, branding, materials and street-level visual language of its period, details that can become historically valuable as shops, products and public infrastructure are altered or replaced. The photograph is particularly useful where a story needs an identifiable real-world example rather than an abstract illustration, because the surrounding details place the subject in an ordinary British or European setting. This makes the photograph a useful piece of contemporary editorial documentation.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FCCTBB - . An ageing row of lock-up garages, typical of post-war housing estates, shows how small pieces of urban land can become underused as buildings deteriorate and patterns of car ownership change. Many garage courts were laid out in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s when planners separated parking from homes, but some now suffer low demand, poor surveillance, vandalism or maintenance backlogs. In areas of severe housing pressure, councils and housing associations increasingly review such sites for infill development, especially where existing infrastructure and public transport make small brownfield plots capable of supporting new houses or flats. Redevelopment is not automatic: garages may still be valued by residents, parking displacement must be assessed and planning, drainage, access and neighbour impact all require consideration. The photograph offers a strong visual shorthand for the 'brownfield first' debate in England, where policymakers want more homes on previously developed land while protecting open countryside. It can illustrate estate renewal, land optimisation, garage demolition, affordable housing and regeneration. From an SEO and archive standpoint, the subject connects naturally with searches for local history, current affairs, architecture and community. Relevant search and editorial concepts include housing, homes, planning, residential development, social housing, brownfield, regeneration, land use, construction, affordability, local authority, neighbourhood. Useful descriptive vocabulary for archive discovery includes garage, block, garages, brownfield, land, housing, redevelopment, underused, site, regeneration, infill, homes, car, parking, planning, estate, clearance, England, residential. It also provides a dated reference for future comparison, allowing researchers to see whether the premises, branding, public space or surrounding land use changed after August 2026.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FAP8NC - . Tesla Supercharger unit at Gretna Green Services on the A74(M) in Scotland, photographed in August 2026 as part of the rapid-charging infrastructure available on one of Britain's principal cross-border road routes. The distinctive white and red charging pedestal is positioned in a dedicated parking bay among trees, providing drivers of compatible electric vehicles with an opportunity to replenish their battery during a long-distance journey between Scotland and England. Motorway and trunk-road charging hubs are a critical part of the transition from petrol and diesel cars to electric vehicles because drivers need dependable high-power charging away from home as well as at their normal destination. The photograph can illustrate EV infrastructure, Tesla's charging network, range anxiety, road-trip planning, battery-electric transport, decarbonisation and investment in low-emission mobility. Gretna is a particularly relevant location because large numbers of motorists pass through the area on journeys between northern England and central Scotland. The image also provides a straightforward documentary view of charging technology integrated into an established motorway service area rather than a specialist urban charging site.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E3P6C5 - . Volkswagen Approved Used and Motability dealership signage in Warrington, Cheshire. Photographed on 20 March 2026. The recorded location is Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. Volkswagen Approved Used and Motability dealership in Warrington, Cheshire, with branded signs and vehicles visible outside the showroom. The photograph provides a clear editorial record of mainstream motor retailing and the Motability market, where eligible disabled customers can use qualifying mobility benefits toward a vehicle lease. It can support coverage of used-car sales, vehicle affordability, disability mobility, Motability operations, dealership networks, personal transport, electric and petrol vehicle transition, automotive retail and consumer spending. The recognisable Volkswagen branding and real dealership setting make the image useful for business, transport, motoring, disability and local-economy features in the UK. In relation to local history, historical context shows that local place names and small landmarks can be as important to community history as nationally famous buildings
Streets, neighbourhood businesses and informal attractions provide reference points that may vanish during redevelopment or rebranding. For the story of direction sign, it is useful to note that wayfinding developed from painted names and fingerposts into standardised road, rail and public-information systems
Local signs still retain distinctive typography or bilingual wording even within increasingly consistent national standards. The historical setting for AED is that public access defibrillators reflect a newer model of community emergency response in which life-saving equipment is placed outside clinical settings for use before ambulance crews arrive. As of 2026, the position for local history is that regeneration, housing growth and changing high streets continue to alter many British towns, giving well-located photographs practical relevance for local-history comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E91EMF - . AA van - can fix your EV. Photographed on 5 April 2026. Looking at vehicle breakdown, the longer history is that road accidents and damaged vehicles are part of the history of road safety, prompting improvements in vehicle design, seat belts, speed management, emergency response and highway engineering. In 2026, vehicle breakdown remains relevant because road safety remains a major policy concern , while modern vehicles add sophisticated driver-assistance systems without eliminating collisions or the need for recovery services. Other strongly related concepts include roadside assistance, breakdown van, vehicle recovery, car accident, motoring service, EV breakdown, recovery vehicle, traffic incident, motor vehicle, car crash, emergency roadside, motoring, and IMG_9886. The background to traffic incident is that roadside assistance grew alongside mass car ownership as motoring organisations developed patrols, recovery vehicles and breakdown services
Branded vans became familiar signs of the support infrastructure behind private motoring. Within the history of emergency roadside, road accidents and damaged vehicles are part of the past of road safety, prompting improvements in vehicle design, seat belts, speed management, emergency response and highway engineering. In relation to breakdown van, historical context shows that motoring services increasingly expanded from mechanical breakdowns to batteries, tyres, diagnostics and recovery as cars became more electronically complex. Current 2026 context around traffic incident is that breakdown organisations increasingly support electric vehicles as well as petrol and diesel cars, requiring high-voltage awareness, mobile charging options and new diagnostic skills. Against the 2026 backdrop for emergency roadside, road safety remains a major policy concern , while contemporary vehicles add sophisticated driver-assistance systems without eliminating collisions or the need for recovery services.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E3P6GK - A Chapelhouse OMODA and JAECOO dealership on Milner Street in Warrington, Cheshire, with the blue OMODA and JAECOO signage above the showroom and used European marques parked outside on the forecourt. The image shows newer Chinese automotive brands entering a familiar British motor retail setting, with Volkswagen and Renault vehicles visible in front of the dealership and a wider mix of used cars nearby. Chapelhouse lists its Warrington OMODA and JAECOO site at Milner Street, WA5 1AD, a short drive from Warrington town centre, and describes the showroom as offering new OMODA and JAECOO cars as well as used cars on site. The photograph is useful for editorial coverage of Chinese car brands in the UK, automotive retail, vehicle imports, dealership networks, part exchange cars, used vehicle sales and changing consumer choice in the North West of England. OMODA promotes crossover SUVs, hybrid and electric car options, while JAECOO promotes SUV and hybrid vehicles, placing both brands in the growing market for family crossovers, plug-in hybrids and value-focused alternatives to long-established European badges. The presence of used Volkswagen and Renault cars adds useful commercial contrast, suggesting how traditional European marques and emerging Chinese challenger brands now sit together on ordinary UK forecourts. The overcast sky, grey showroom cladding, glass frontage, parked vehicles and roadside forecourt give the picture an everyday documentary quality rather than a glossy launch-event feel. It can illustrate motoring features, business news, international trade, UK consumer spending, car finance, vehicle supply, EV transition, petrol and hybrid SUV demand, automotive competition, local Warrington business, dealership expansion and the visibility of Chinese manufacturers in mainstream British car buying. The scene also suits stories about brand confidence, buyer trust and how new car brands need physical dealers to compete with familiar names.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DA6238 - Rear view of a cream-coloured Trabant 601 S de luxe car displayed indoors as part of a Berlin museum or heritage exhibition about everyday life in the former German Democratic Republic. The small East German two-door saloon, instantly recognisable by its simple body shape, narrow rear window, chrome bumper, vertical tail lights, DDR oval badge and LD 11-30 registration plate, became one of the defining consumer objects of communist East Germany. Built by VEB Sachsenring Automobilwerke in Zwickau, the Trabant 601 was produced from 1964 to 1990 and became the best-known version of the model, often simply called the Trabi. It used a small two-stroke engine and a lightweight Duroplast body, a plastic-like material made with cotton waste and resin, reflecting the industrial limits and resource constraints of the planned economy. For many East German families the Trabant represented mobility, independence and status, but it also symbolised shortage, long waiting lists, limited consumer choice and the technical stagnation of late DDR industry. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, lines of Trabants crossing into West Berlin became one of the most memorable images of 1989, turning the car from a modest everyday vehicle into a symbol of reunification, nostalgia and Cold War history. The photograph is useful for editorial themes including DDR history, East German transport, Berlin museums, communist-era consumer goods, Cold War Europe, Ostalgie, classic cars, motoring heritage, socialist industry, state planning, twentieth-century design and the social history of everyday objects. The indoor lighting, polished bodywork and exhibition setting suggest a museum display rather than a working street scene, with no weather visible. The rear view gives strong detail of the model badge and period identity, making the image especially relevant for illustrating the cultural afterlife of the Trabant as both a much-loved cult car and a reminder of life behind the Iron Curtain.

Its strategy of growth through acquisition has seen Mitie acquire several businesses over the past few years. In March 2006 it acquired Initial Security, a leading security business. In 2007 Mitie acquired Robert Prettie & Co. Ltd for £32.7m and incorporated the specialist plumbing, heating and mechanical services business into their Property Services division. In 2008 Mitie continued its strategy through the acquisition of Catering Partnership and DW Tilley. The purchase of DW Tilley allowed Mitie to extend their roofing services nationwide. 2009 saw the acquisition of Dalkia Facilities Management for £130m[9] to bolster its Technical Facilities Management capability, and an expansion into social housing with the purchase of Environmental Property Services (EPS) for £38.5m. In 2010, Mitie acquired the integrated facilities management business of Dalkia in Ireland

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RWW5NX - The Volkswagen Type 2, known officially (depending on body type) as the Transporter, Kombi or Microbus, or, informally, as the Bus (US), Camper (UK) or Bulli (Germany), is a forward control light commercial vehicle introduced in 1950 by the German automaker Volkswagen as its second car model. Following “ and initially deriving from “ Volkswagen's first model, the Type 1 (Beetle), it was given the factory designation Type 2.
As one of the forerunners of the modern cargo and passenger vans, the Type 2 gave rise to forward control competitors in the United States in the 1960s, including the Ford Econoline, the Dodge A100, and the Chevrolet Corvair 95 Corvan, the latter adapting the rear-engine configuration of the Corvair car in the same manner in which the VW Type 2 adapted the Type 1 layout.
The Volkswagen Westfalia Camper was a conversion of the Volkswagen Type 2, and then, the Volkswagen Type 2 (T3), sold from the early 1950s to 2003. Volkswagen subcontracted the modifications to the company Westfalia-Werke in Rheda-Wiedenbrück.
Early Volkswagen split-windshield Kombis were built between 1950 and 1967. Production of Volkswagen camper variants continued to 2003, and was based on the Kombi, then the Vanagon, then the LT Mk 1, then the Transporter. Other coachbuilders, including Dormobile, EZ Camper, ASI/Riviera, Holdsworth, Danbury Motorcaravans, and VW Sun-Dial, also built campers based on the Transporter.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RC3CGN - . NIdirect e-car chargepoint at Main St, Bushmills, county Antrim, Northern Ireland, UK, BT57 8QB. Photographed on 22 June 2023. The recorded location is Main Street, Bushmills, Northern Ireland, BT57 8QB. The electric vehicle (EV) publicly-accessible charge point network in Northern Ireland is operated on a commercial basis, with the majority of charge points owned by the Electricity Supply Board (ESB). The historical context is that public electric-vehicle charging developed from a small number of early demonstration networks into national infrastructure as battery cars became mainstream
Older charging posts record the first phase of transition away from petrol and diesel, including differing networks, connectors, branding and payment systems. The historical context is that everyday journeys depend on an evolving network of vehicles, stops, stations and roads
Buses, cars, ferries and trams can become historical subjects within a few years as operators rebrand, fleets are replaced and infrastructure is rebuilt. The historical context is that cars and garage equipment are part of twentieth-century material culture
Imported American models, British registrations, oil-company branding and automated car washes each represent different aspects of the expanding motoring economy. The subject remains topical in 2026 because public charging is established transport infrastructure across the UK, with Department for Transport statistics tracking rapid expansion month by month
Coverage, reliability, pricing and access remain significant issues, particularly in rural areas and for drivers without off-street parking. The subject remains topical in 2026 because transport is undergoing a gradual shift towards lower-emission vehicles, better public-transport integration and active travel
Earlier buses, cars and infrastructure therefore help illustrate both continuity and technological transition.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R9J0DM - Northern Ireland Ambulance Service emergency ambulance parked outside the Emergency Department at the Mater Hospital on Crumlin Road in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The modern Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-based vehicle carries the distinctive high-visibility yellow and green livery used by NIAS frontline ambulances, together with emergency markings, reflective panels and prominent service identification.
The vehicle is positioned beneath the hospital entrance canopy, close to the doors used for emergency admissions and ambulance arrivals. Its box-style patient compartment provides space for clinical equipment, stretcher access and treatment while patients are being transported to hospital. The side loading door, cab, mirrors, emergency lighting and reinforced bodywork are clearly visible, showing the practical design of a modern road ambulance used for urgent medical response.
The Mater Hospital is a major healthcare facility serving North Belfast and surrounding communities. Its Emergency Department receives patients arriving independently and those brought by ambulance following accidents, sudden illness or other urgent incidents. Ambulance crews assess, stabilise and transport patients while maintaining communication with hospital staff and emergency control centres.
Northern Ireland Ambulance Service provides emergency and non-emergency ambulance services across Northern Ireland. Frontline crews include paramedics, emergency medical technicians and other clinical staff responding to calls ranging from serious road collisions and cardiac emergencies to falls, illness and urgent transfers between healthcare facilities.
The photograph illustrates the close operational relationship between ambulance services and hospital emergency departments. It is suitable for editorial coverage concerning NIAS, NHS healthcare, emergency medicine, paramedics, ambulance response times, hospital pressures, patient transport, public-sector services, healthcare funding, frontline workers

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PH9KWA - Warrington's Own Buses is a municipal bus company which operates a network of services within the Borough of Warrington and the surrounding area, including Altrincham, Leigh, Earlestown, Wigan, Halton, Bolton and Northwich.
The company previously traded as Warrington Borough Transport up until 2006 and as Network Warrington between 2006 and 2018. With the launch of the 'Cheshire Cats' brand in 2018 the company rebranded as Warrington's Own Buses.
History
Warrington Corporation Tramways started operating a network of five radial tramways from the town centre in 1902, with the first motor bus service starting in 1913. Buses replaced trams on routes starting in 1931, with the infrastructure starting to require major renewal which could not be justified economically. The last tram operated in 1935
Warrington was designated as a new town in 1968, which led to new housing estates planned in the Birchwood and Westbrook areas of town. As such, Warrington Borough Council Transport Department started operating new services to these new developments as they started to grow in the 1970s and beyond. The department also began operating new services jointly with Crosville upon the split of the old Stockport based North Western Road Car Company in 1972.
To comply with the Transport Act 1985, Warrington Borough Transport was incorporated in 1986. The company's mission was that if money could be made by operating services deemed uneconomic by other operators, then it should assume operation. This policy led to an increase in services operated as other bus companies who ran into the area decided to concentrate on their own core areas
In April 2018, the company was rebranded as Warrington's Own Buses
Warrington's Own Buses operate 96 routes across the Warrington borough, Cheshire and Greater Manchester. With 50 of them being school/college contract routes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JX2T0F - Mr. Whippy (or Mister Whippy) is a brand of soft-mix ice cream produced by Wall's, a subsidiary of Unilever as part of the Heartbrand. Mr. Whippy began as a franchise of ice cream operators, but is now just the name of the soft-mix ice cream, as such, many ice cream vendors selling the soft-mix brand themselves as Mr. Whippy and stylise their vehicles and outlets as they wish. Actual franchises of the brand continue separately in Australia and New Zealand.
The name Mr. Whippy has become a generic trademark in the United Kingdom amongst consumers to refer to soft-serve ice cream in a single cone
The company originated when British businessman Dominic Facchino visited the United States and saw the Mister Softee ice cream franchise, selling soft serve ice cream from mobile ice cream vans. Unable to license the brand in the UK, Facchino set up his own Mr. Whippy franchise in Birmingham in 1958, starting with a fleet of six vans.
The company was purchased by Unilever in 1966.

Reliant was a large manufacturing company that mainly produced vehicles for niche markets, such as small three-wheeled vehicles and sports cars. It was best known for the three-wheeled Reliant Robin, but produced a variety of vehicles over 60 years, including sports cars, convertibles and commercial vehicles. Approximately half a million Reliant vehicles were produced and sold in at least nine countries. For a period from the 1970s until the 1990s, Reliant was the UK's second biggest British-owned car manufacturer behind British Leyland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K8C9NH - The Peel Group is a British infrastructure and property investment business, based in Manchester. In 2022, its Peel Land and Property estate extends to 13 million square feet (1.2 km2) of buildings, and over 33,000 acres (13,000 ha) of land and water. Peel retains minority stakes in its former ports business and MediaCityUK.
The Trafford Centre, which opened in 1998, is widely regarded as Peel's landmark development. It was sold in 2011 to Capital Shopping Centres for £1.6 billion, making it then the most expensive acquisition in British property history. £700 million of the consideration was in shares and Peel continued to buy shares in the purchaser that went into administration, eliminating share value, in 2020.
The Peel Group held a series of other substantial investments in listed businesses including Land Securities Group plc and Pinewood Shepperton plc, and in 2022 owns 14.1% of Harworth Group plc
The Peel Group was known from 1973 to 1981 as Peel Mills (Holdings) Ltd
from 1981 to 2004 as Peel Holdings plc, and then the wider organisation took its present form.
Inspired by the Peel Tower near his native Bury, Whittaker retained the name Peel Mills Ltd for his property and cotton business.
After a period on the Manchester Stock Exchange, Peel Holdings listed on the London Stock Exchange Official List in 1983. It transferred to the Alternative Investment Market in January 2000 before the Whittaker family and Olayan Group majority shareholders bought out Peel Holdings' 6.63% minority shareholders in 2004, taking the business private.
From 1971, Whittaker acquired shares in the Manchester Ship Canal Company that unlike most other British canals had not been nationalised post-World War II.
Peel sold its cotton business for £22 million to finance the purchase of more canal shares, and in 1987 acquired control. It bought out the remaining minority shareholders in 1993

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JFTMHC - The race started at 15:00 local time on 3 July. Max Verstappen took the lead at the start from Carlos Sainz Jr., while Lewis Hamilton moved up to third. George Russell had a bad start and was passed by Nicholas Latifi and Zhou Guanyu pulled alongside him leaving a large gap between them. Gasly attempted to pass between Zhou and Russell, but Russell moved to the left too late to close the gap causing his left rear tyre to make contact with Gasly's right front. Gasly backed out but the impact pointed Russell's car to the left shooting him across the track and directly into the side of Zhou's car. The impact launched Zhou's car into the air where he landed upside down skidding down the track, then skipped and bounced all the way across the very long gravel trap at the end of the straightaway barely slowing but turning sideways before the inverted car suddenly dug into the gravel just short of the tire barrier still carrying so much speed and momentum that it launched so high it just glanced off the top of the barrier as it flew over it, rotating 540 degrees on its axis before hitting the catch fencing sideways facing up just a few feet from the front row of the grandstands before dropping 8 feet landing wedged into the small gap between the fence and tyre barrier where it stopped with the cockpit up against the backside of the tire barrier. As a result of the incident, Valtteri Bottas slowed slightly, which caused Alexander Albon to also slow. Sebastian Vettel attempted to brake, but was too close to Albon and hit him. Albon spun into the concrete pit wall, rebounded back on the track and was hit by Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon, damaging both of their cars. Tsunoda and Ocon both returned to the pit lane for repairs, but Albon was unable to continue. Russell, who had spun, stopped to help the marshalls with Zhou's flipped car. When he returned to his car it was not running so he could not continue.
Race control red-flagged the race due to both crashes.

The impact launched Zhou's car into the air where he landed upside down skidding down the track, then skipped and bounced all the way across the very long gravel trap at the end of the straightaway barely slowing but turning sideways before the inverted car suddenly dug into the gravel just short of the tire barrier still carrying so much speed and momentum that it launched so high it just glanced off the top of the barrier as it flew over it, rotating 540 degrees on its axis before hitting the catch fencing sideways facing up just a few feet from the front row of the grandstands before dropping 8 feet landing wedged into the small gap between the fence and tyre barrier where it stopped with the cockpit up against the backside of the tire barrier. As a result of the incident, Valtteri Bottas slowed slightly, which caused Alexander Albon to also slow. Sebastian Vettel attempted to brake, but was too close to Albon and hit him. Albon spun into the concrete pit wall, rebounded back on the track and was hit by Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon, damaging both of their cars. Tsunoda and Ocon both returned to the pit lane for repairs, but Albon was unable to continue. Russell, who had spun, stopped to help the marshalls with Zhou's flipped car. When he returned to his car it was not running so he could not continue.
Race control red-flagged the race due to both crashes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2D9H19X - The modern combine harvester, or simply combine, is a versatile machine designed to efficiently harvest a variety of grain crops. The name derives from its combining three separate harvesting operations”reaping, threshing, and winnowing”into a single process. Among the crops harvested with a combine are wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn (maize), sorghum, soybeans, flax (linseed), sunflowers and canola. The separated straw, left lying on the field, comprises the stems and any remaining leaves of the crop with limited nutrients left in it: the straw is then either chopped, spread on the field and ploughed back in or baled for bedding and limited-feed for livestock.
Combine harvesters are one of the most economically important labour saving inventions, significantly reducing the fraction of the population engaged in agriculture

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A0TWP7 - Taunton Deane was a local government district with borough status in Somerset, England. Its council was based in Taunton.
The district was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, by a merger of the Municipal Borough of Taunton, Wellington Urban District, Taunton Rural District, and Wellington Rural District.
Taunton Deane was granted borough status in 1975, perpetuating the mayoralty of Taunton.
The district was given the name of an alternative form of the Taunton Deane Hundred.
In September 2016, West Somerset and Taunton Deane councils agreed in principle to merge the districts into one (with one council) subject to consultation. The new district would not be a unitary authority, with Somerset County Council still performing its functions. In March 2018 both councils voted in favour of the merger and it came into effect on 1 April 2019, with the first elections to the new council in May 2019. The new authority will be known as Somerset West and Taunton

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTA83 - The Zündapp Bella is a motor scooter manufactured by motorcycle manufacturer Zündapp from 1953 to 1964. Approximately 130,000 Bella scooters were sold, with engine sizes ranging from 150 cc to 200 cc.
The design of the Bella was heavily influenced by that of the Parilla Levriere, also known as the Parilla Greyhound. Along with being similar in general appearance, both designs have prominent air tunnels along the centreline of the scooter to allow fresh air to cool the engine without a fan.
Early Bella with kick starter and telescopic fork
As introduced in 1953, the Bella had a 146 cc two-stroke single cylinder engine, 12 inch wheels, 6 V electrics, a kick starter, and an undamped telescopic fork. The fuel tank was mounted under the seat.
A version of the Bella called the Suburbanette was made for the United States market from 1953 to 1954. The Suburbanette was stripped of the body panels enclosing the engine. 370 Suburbanettes were sold. An export version of the last 150cc Bella, the R154K (K for kickstarter), with higher Western (buckhorn) bars and no dynastarter, came to the United States in the later 1950s.[10]
A 197 cc (12.0 cu in) engine producing 10 hp (7.5 kW) became available in May 1954. The front suspension was later changed from a telescopic fork to an Earles-type leading link fork with a single suspension unit on left side of the fork. Later Bella scooters also had 12 V electricals powered by two 6 V batteries.[citation needed] Electric starters also became available on the Bella.
The Bella was imported into the United Kingdom by Ambassador Motorcycles, and into the United States by International Motorcycle Company.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MGMJMB - . This dated editorial view of the recorded location in 2017 captures more than the immediate subject, retaining clues about local use, design, activity and change. The image documents Austin Seven Motor Car JC1527. The image also relates to social history, changing streetscape, roadside transit, archival record, public realm, documentary photography, public transport information, historical comparison, local bus network, everyday life, bus infrastructure, transport accessibility, surface public transport, and bus route infrastructure. Current relevance extends to reliability and accessibility, particularly through the importance of bus stops as the physical interface between passengers and public transport. As a dated visual record of the recorded location, the frame retains equipment and working practice, making it especially useful if redevelopment subsequently changes the scene. Other useful contextual ideas include local mobility, street-side transport, visual archive, changing land use, place identity, local character, local history, and contemporary social history. Details involving Austin, Seven, JC1527, and Motor make the image more specific than a generic view and strengthen its local or historical value. By fixing the subject within the recorded location, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. A further contemporary connection is reliability and how local bus services affect access to work, education and healthcare without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The wider significance includes bus service funding and the importance of bus stops as the physical interface between passengers and public transport in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. Another strand within the photograph is local connectivity and the shift toward cleaner buses and integrated ticketing within the real-world context of the recorded location.

The location also brings in street-side transport, place identity, documentary photography, archival record, surface public transport, roadside stop, contemporary social history, and community identity. The combination of JC1527, Austin, Seven, and Motor anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. Even without a fuller street location, image MGMJMF preserves the period presentation of Austin Seven Motor Car JC1527, giving later viewers a fixed documentary point for comparison. A further contemporary connection is accessibility and the shift toward cleaner buses and integrated ticketing when considered against later change at the recorded location. The wider significance includes decarbonisation and the importance of bus stops as the physical interface between passengers and public transport without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The period view preserves a local visual benchmark for future local research. The view records a point of historical comparison before later change alters the scene.

A grounded documentary photograph made at New York State, USA in 2009, combining the immediate subject with evidence of the surrounding streetscape, public realm, business activity or local character.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4565205208 - 'Jaguar was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company by Sir William Lyons in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before switching to passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after World War II due to the unfavourable connotations of the SS initials. It was aquired by Ford in 1989 and is now part of the indian Tata steel and manufacturing group.
Jaguar cars are designed in Jaguar Land Rover's engineering centres at the Whitley plant in Coventry and at Gaydon in Warwickshire, and are manufactured in two of Jaguar Land Rover's plants
Castle Bromwich assembly plant in Birmingham and at the old Ford Halewood Body &
Assembly near Liverpool.
Two of the proudest moments in Jaguar's long history in motor sport involved winning the Le Mans 24 hours race, firstly in 1956 and again in 1957, in the hands of the little known Scottish racing team called Ecurie Ecosse whose name later went down in legendary status for twice pulling off a David v Goliath effort in the famed car killing race.
