Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E5HA3A - Editorial image of Lymm Fish Bar, a traditional British fish and chip shop on The Cross in the centre of Lymm, Cheshire, England, with a customer emerging from the doorway carrying food. The bright red shopfront, large frontage windows and simple takeaway branding present a familiar modern version of the classic UK chippy, a staple of British high street food culture and everyday working life. Promotional posters in the window advertise meal deals and soft drinks, while the exterior setting, neighbouring premises and roadside signage place the business clearly within a lived-in village street scene rather than a staged commercial environment. The photograph is useful for stories about independent takeaways, local retail, British hospitality, small business resilience, consumer spending, village centre footfall and the continued role of fish and chip shops in UK food culture. It also suits broader editorial themes around the changing high street, cost of living pressures, neighbourhood services, casual dining, takeaway habits and the survival of traditional food outlets in smaller towns and affluent commuter settlements. Fish and chips remain one of the best known and most recognisable forms of British takeaway food, linked to routine family meals, convenience eating, weekend treats and long-established local loyalties. In this image, the presence of the departing customer adds a documentary human element, showing actual trade in progress and reinforcing the shop's role as a functioning local business serving walk-in customers. The scene captures an ordinary but commercially valuable slice of everyday England, combining food retail, vernacular shop design, customer behaviour and place-specific detail in one strong editorial frame. It is especially relevant to features on Cheshire village life, northern consumer habits, independent traders, hospitality recovery and the enduring cultural identity of the British chippy.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE74K - The Rams Head public house in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, is shown during a cold winter period in January with light snow covering the ground and a decorated Christmas tree standing outside the pub. The historic building, with its mix of brickwork and traditional architectural features, is set against clear blue skies and low winter sunlight, which highlights the textures of the walls, roof and surrounding outdoor seating areas. Snow settled on benches and pathways reinforces the seasonal setting and the crisp atmosphere of a winter's day in rural England.
Village pubs such as the Rams Head have long played an important role in British social and cultural life, acting as meeting places, landmarks and centres of community activity. During the winter and festive season, pubs often become visual symbols of warmth and tradition, even when photographed without people present. The Christmas tree outside the pub adds a seasonal focal point, linking the image to themes of celebration, tradition and continuity within English village life.
The photograph reflects wider themes of British pub culture, hospitality, leisure and local identity, as well as seasonal change and winter weather in the United Kingdom. It is suitable for editorial use in travel and lifestyle features, hospitality coverage, festive and winter-themed publications, calendars and broader cultural storytelling focused on traditional England, rural communities and the enduring presence of village pubs within the countryside.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE75H - The Parr Arms public house stands alongside St Wilfrid's Church on Church Lane in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, photographed during a cold winter period in January with light snow visible on the ground and outdoor seating areas. The white-painted pub, a Robinsons Brewery tied house, is shown in the foreground, while the red sandstone tower of St Wilfrid's Church rises behind it, creating a distinctive and recognisable village scene. Clear blue skies and low winter sunlight emphasise the textures of the church stonework and the contrasting surfaces of the pub exterior.
The pairing of pub and parish church reflects a long-established pattern within English village life, where places of worship and social gathering sit side by side at the heart of the community. In winter conditions, particularly with snow and frost present, these buildings take on a heightened sense of tradition, continuity and calm. The absence of people adds to the quiet atmosphere, reinforcing themes of stillness, reflection and seasonal change.
St Wilfrid's Church, an Anglican parish church with medieval origins, represents the religious heritage of the village, while the Parr Arms embodies British pub culture and hospitality. Together, they illustrate the social and cultural fabric of rural England, where faith, leisure and community life intersect. The image lends itself to a wide range of editorial uses, including travel features, heritage publications, lifestyle articles, calendars and broader storytelling focused on traditional England, village identity and winter landscapes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DGE75P - The Parr Arms, a traditional British public house tied to Robinsons Brewery, stands in the village of Grappenhall near Warrington, Cheshire, photographed during a cold winter period in January with light snow covering the pub garden and surrounding paved areas. The white-painted pub building, with its distinctive signage, wrought iron gates and lantern-style lights, is shown under clear blue skies and low winter sunlight, which highlights the crisp textures of the exterior and the contrast between snow, brickwork and painted surfaces.
Village pubs such as the Parr Arms have long played an important role in English social life, acting as community meeting places and focal points for rural villages. In winter, particularly during periods of frost and snow, these pubs take on an additional sense of warmth and familiarity, even when photographed without people present. The quiet, undisturbed setting enhances the feeling of calm and nostalgia often associated with traditional English pubs in the countryside.
The image reflects wider themes of British pub culture, hospitality, leisure and local identity, as well as seasonal change and winter weather in England. As a Robinsons Brewery tied house, the pub also represents the long-established brewing traditions of the North West of England. The combination of heritage architecture, village setting and winter snow makes the photograph suitable for editorial use in travel features, lifestyle publications, hospitality coverage, calendars and broader cultural storytelling focused on traditional England and rural community life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJRJ - This photograph shows exterior signage on the former Golden Lion Inn, a traditional public house located on Knutsford Road in Warrington, Cheshire. The red brick building, with arched detailing and raised gold lettering, reflects the late Victorian style commonly used for urban and roadside pubs serving growing industrial towns in north west England.
For many years, the Golden Lion Inn formed part of Warrington's local pub network, serving nearby residential streets and acting as a social meeting place for the surrounding community. Like many traditional pubs across the UK, it eventually closed amid changing drinking habits, rising operating costs, and pressure on older licensed premises that were no longer commercially viable.
Following closure, the building was redeveloped into residential flats, reflecting a wider national trend in which former pubs are converted to housing rather than reopened as licensed venues. While the internal use has changed, much of the external character has been retained, with original brickwork and pub signage still visible, allowing the building's former role to remain legible within the streetscape.
Taken in daylight, the image documents both architectural detail and social change. It serves as a visual record of pub closures in Britain and the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, illustrating how everyday community landmarks are increasingly absorbed into housing-led redevelopment while retaining traces of their original identity. The Golden Lion on Knutsford Road, Latchford, Warrington (WA4 1AB) has roots that run back well before its late twentieth-century local reputation. Local history writing referenced by MyWarrington describes a Golden Lion Tavern as a recognised roadside marker on the old Knutsford Road route, used as one end of a long-standing agreement connected with tolls and responsibility for maintaining the highway between the Golden Lion and Black Bear Bridge, which strongly suggests it was already established

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X5K8B6 - An open trench showing replacement gas pipes during utility renewal works in Thelwall, Warrington, Cheshire, England. The image shows newly installed yellow gas pipes laid within an excavated trench, surrounded by orange safety barriers used to protect pedestrians and vehicles during roadworks.
The works form part of a gas main renewal programme historically associated with Transco, the former gas transportation business of National Grid, now operating under Cadent Gas following industry restructuring. Such programmes are designed to replace ageing iron gas mains with modern polyethylene piping to improve safety, reliability, and long-term resilience of the gas distribution network.
Thelwall is a residential village area south of Warrington, where infrastructure upgrades are typically carried out on local roads serving housing estates and village centres. Utility works of this type are a common feature of UK streets, often requiring temporary traffic management and causing short-term disruption in exchange for long-term improvements to essential services.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating gas infrastructure renewal, utility maintenance, civil engineering works, public safety measures, local roadworks, and the ongoing investment required to maintain underground energy networks in towns and villages across England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX18A8 - An editorial photograph of a traditional real ale bar showing a freshly poured pint of cask beer standing on the counter beside a chalkboard listing cask ales currently on offer, with several polished hand pumps visible behind the bar. The scene captures the atmosphere of an authentic British pub interior, with warm low lighting, spirit bottles on back shelves, branded pump clips, bar mats and working cellar-dispense equipment all contributing to a strong sense of place. The handwritten beer board advertises changing guest ales including Salopian Shropshire Gold, Brentwood Legacy, D G Mortons Proper Gander, Little Critters Wartley Tropical and Merlin Mythic IPA, with ABV and prices noted, making the image especially useful for themes linked to beer choice, rotating cask lines, independent breweries and pub merchandising. This is a highly usable image for editorial or commercial features about real ale culture, CAMRA, pub interiors, hospitality venues, licensed trade, beer tourism, draught beer service, traditional hand-pulled ale and the social life of pubs in Britain. The composition combines several recognisable elements of the UK pub trade: brass beer engines, a dark wood counter, point-of-sale pump badges, an ale offer board and a newly served pint with a light foamy head ready for the customer. Search relevance is strengthened by terms such as cask ale bar, beer pumps, pub chalkboard, handpulled bitter, guest ales, ale selection, bar service, cellar conditioned beer, pint of ale, pub counter, traditional inn, hospitality industry, drinks retail, British pub culture and beverage marketing. The image also works as a documentary record of how pubs present changing local and regional beers, encouraging drinkers to try before they buy and reinforcing the heritage and ritual of the hand-pulled pint in England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RX189J - This image shows signage advertising a Final Clearance sale at Hancock & Wood, a retail business located on Bridge Street in Warrington, Cheshire, England. The photograph captures the visual language commonly associated with shop closures, including prominent sale wording designed to attract final customers as a business winds down trading. The scene reflects the pressures facing independent retailers on UK high streets.
Bridge Street forms part of Warrington's main town centre shopping area and has historically been home to a mix of independent shops and national chains. In recent years, like many British towns, Warrington has experienced changes in retail patterns driven by rising costs, online shopping, and shifting consumer behaviour, leading to an increase in clearance sales, store closures, and vacant units.
The image conveys themes of economic change, retail decline, and the challenges facing traditional high street businesses in England. It is suitable for editorial and commercial use relating to UK retail, town centre economics, small business closures, shopping habits, economic downturn, and the transformation of British high streets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R72E6N - Leading contractor developer for the social housing sector, Lane End Developments Construction, has gone into administration.
The Warrington-based business operates across the North west of England and Wales.
Managing directors of insolvency firm Quantuma Jeremy Woodside and Frank Ofonagoro, both of the firm's Manchester office, have been appointed joint administrators.
The company was set up in 2016 and has built more than 1,100. It currently has live projects on 17 different sites - which aimed to create 1,700 new homes - employing 118 staff.
Current projects include delivering a 177 affordable homes scheme in Llandudno in partnership with ClwydAlyn and a 60 home scheme with Torus in Wigan.
In its last financial year, to the end of May, 2022, the company generated revenues of around £81m with a pre-tax profit of nearly £250,000.
Mr Woodside said:This is obviously a very difficult and uncertain time for the company, its employees and suppliers, and its wider stakeholders.
We're currently working alongside potential funders and senior management to assess the options available to them to restructure Lane End Developments Construction and allow it to continue to operate and deliver housing projects.
The contractor had been developing schemes with a string of housing associations, including L&Q, Jigsaw Homes and Onward, when it announced its collapse in April.
At the time, the three landlords said they were disappointed and concerned about the firm's collapse, but none were named in the list of creditors that are owed money.
The administrator's proposal shows that for the year end of 31 May 2022, Lane End had a turnover of more than £81m, but its profit for the year was less than £178,000. Tangible assets were just over £1m.

The sign identifies the site as part of the Manchester Ship Canal network, operated by Peel Ports on behalf of The Manchester Ship Canal Company Limited, and includes safety and access symbols associated with working canal infrastructure.
Latchford Locks form part of the historic Manchester Ship Canal, a major piece of late-19th-century civil engineering that transformed inland shipping access between Manchester and the Mersey estuary. The locks continue to serve commercial navigation while also existing within a modern urban environment, requiring clear public safety signage and controlled access.
Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents contemporary management of historic industrial waterways in England. It illustrates themes of transport heritage, infrastructure maintenance, public safety, and the ongoing operational role of the Manchester Ship Canal in the UK's inland waterway system.

The store serves as the primary retail outlet for Warrington Wolves Rugby League Club merchandise.
The shopfront features prominent blue signage identifying it as the official club store, with large glass windows displaying replica kits, branded clothing, and promotional material aimed at supporters of the club, commonly known as The Wire. Club retail outlets play a key role in modern professional sport, providing revenue streams beyond matchday ticket sales and strengthening fan engagement.
Situated within the stadium complex, the store operates both on matchdays and during the week, catering to local supporters and visiting fans. The modern retail design contrasts with the traditional brick architecture of the stadium, reflecting contemporary sports branding and merchandising practices.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering rugby league, sports merchandising, fan culture, professional club retail operations, and the commercial infrastructure that supports elite sport in the UK.

Volvo dealerships such as this offer new and approved-used vehicles, servicing, and aftersales support, and increasingly showcase electric and hybrid models as part of the brand's transition toward lower-emission mobility.
The clean architectural design and consistent corporate branding reflect contemporary automotive retail standards, where customer experience, visibility, and forecourt presentation play a key role in vehicle sales. The image documents the dealership as a commercial business environment rather than a motor show or promotional event.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering automotive retail, car dealerships, premium vehicle brands, electric vehicle transition, UK business premises, and the modern car-buying experience.

The setting within a redeveloping area of Warrington highlights broader efforts to address youth provision, social inclusion, and community resilience.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNG0 - This image shows the exterior of Take a Bao, an independent street-food cafe located on Wilderspool Road in south Warrington, Cheshire (postcode WA4 1QJ). The premises occupies a corner position in a red-brick building and features modern grey-and-white fascia signage displaying the business name and bao bun logo.
Take a Bao specialises in Asian-inspired street food, particularly bao buns, reflecting the growth of small independent food businesses outside traditional city-centre locations. Cafes and takeaway outlets such as this contribute to the changing character of suburban high streets, offering contemporary food options alongside long-established local services.
The clean, modern branding contrasts with the older brick architecture of the building, illustrating the layering of new businesses within historic urban fabric. The large windows and corner entrance give the venue strong street presence, typical of small hospitality enterprises seeking visibility and footfall in neighbourhood settings.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering independent food businesses, street food culture, suburban retail, local economies, and the evolution of high streets in towns such as Warrington.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNG8 - This image shows a painted Cheshire Cat artwork displayed on a bus stop shelter on Wilderspool Causeway in Warrington, Cheshire (postcode WA4 1AD), close to the Causeway Hotel. The illustration forms part of local visual identity and public art initiatives that bring character and humour to everyday urban infrastructure.
The Cheshire Cat is a well-known fictional character from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, who was born in nearby Daresbury, Cheshire. Its use in public artwork across the county has become a recognisable symbol of regional identity, often appearing in murals, sculptures, and street art installations.
In this scene, the smiling cat is painted directly onto the blue bus shelter panel beneath official transport signage indicating services toward Warrington Bank Quay Station interchange. The contrast between functional transport information and playful artwork highlights efforts to humanise public spaces and improve the everyday experience of commuters.
Photographed in daylight with surrounding brick buildings and railings visible, the image is well suited to editorial use covering public art, local identity, community placemaking, transport environments, and the integration of cultural references into ordinary street scenes in towns such as Warrington

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNE6 - This image shows an electronic roadside speed indicator sign displaying the message Your Speed 27 followed by Thank You, indicating that a passing vehicle is travelling below the posted 30 mph speed limit. These digital feedback signs are commonly installed on residential and urban roads across the United Kingdom as part of traffic-calming and road-safety initiatives.
Unlike enforcement cameras, speed indicator devices are designed to influence driver behaviour through immediate feedback rather than penalties. When drivers remain within the speed limit, positive reinforcement messages such as Thank You are displayed, encouraging continued compliance and awareness.
The sign is mounted on a roadside pole beside a two-lane road, with a passing vehicle captured in motion, reinforcing the real-world context of everyday driving. Such signage is often used near housing estates, schools, and pedestrian-heavy areas to reduce accident risk and improve community safety.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering road safety, traffic management, transport policy, urban infrastructure, community speed reduction schemes, and responsible driving behaviour in the UK.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PNFB - This image shows an electronic roadside speed indicator sign on Bellhouse Lane in Grappenhall, near Warrington in Cheshire. The sign displays the message Your Speed 37 followed by Slow Down, indicating that a passing vehicle is exceeding the 30 mph speed limit in this residential area.
Speed indicator devices of this type are widely used across the United Kingdom as part of traffic calming and road safety initiatives. Unlike enforcement cameras, they provide immediate visual feedback to drivers, highlighting excessive speed and encouraging behavioural change without issuing penalties. When drivers exceed the limit, warning messages such as Slow Down are triggered to reinforce compliance.
The photograph captures a car passing the sign with visible motion blur, emphasising the contrast between the digital warning and real-world driving behaviour. Installed on a tree-lined suburban road, the sign reflects local authority efforts to improve safety for residents, pedestrians, and other road users.
Photographed in daylight, the image is well suited to editorial use covering road safety, speed management, transport policy, residential traffic issues, community safety schemes, and the use of technology to influence driver behaviour on UK roads.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PCB3K3 - Baptism (from Koinē Greek: βάπτισμα, romanized: váptisma, lit.'immerse, dip in water') is a Christian sacrament of initiation and adoption,[2] almost invariably with the use of water. It may be performed by sprinkling or pouring water on the head, or by immersing in water either partially or completely, traditionally three times, once for each person of the Trinity. The synoptic gospels recount that John the Baptist baptised Jesus. Baptism is considered a sacrament in most churches, and as an ordinance in others. Baptism according to the Trinitarian formula, which is done in most mainstream Christian denominations, is seen as being a basis for Christian ecumenism, the concept of unity amongst Christians. Baptism is also called christening,[14][15] although some reserve the word christening for the baptism of infants. In certain Christian denominations, such as the Catholic Churches, Eastern Orthodox Churches, Oriental Orthodox Churches, Assyrian Church of the East, and Lutheran Churches, baptism is the door to church membership, with candidates taking baptismal vows. It has also given its name to the Baptist churches and denominations.
Some Christian thinking regards baptism as necessary for salvation, but some writers, such as Huldrych Zwingli (14841531), have denied its necessity. Though water baptism is extremely common among Christian denominations, some, such as the Quakers and the Salvation Army, do not practice water baptism at all.[20] Among denominations that practice water baptism, differences occur in the manner and mode of baptizing and in the understanding of the significance of the rite. Most Christians baptize using the trinitarian formula in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (following the Great Commission), but Oneness Pentecostals baptize using Jesus' name only. Much more than half of all Christians baptize infants
many others, such as Baptist Churches, regard only believer's baptism as true baptism.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M69CF8 - Section 24 means that private landlords can no longer offset mortgage payments
The Government has made recent changes to individual landlord's tax relief. Since April 2020 buy-to-let landlords have had to pay income tax on the entire rental income, regardless of how much is taken by mortgage interest. Instead, this has been replaced with a 20% tax credit, meaning private landlords with a mortgage can no longer offset mortgage interest costs in full against income tax bills on rent.
As a result, landlords now pay tax on rental income based on revenue rather than their profit after mortgage interest is paid. For those of you thinking of setting up a limited company, you'll be glad to know that mortgage interest is treated as a business expense. That means if your property is owned by a limited company, you can minus the cost before paying corporation tax. If this is something you are considering, it's always smart to obtain financial advice from a registered tax expert.
What are the implications of the Capital Gains Tax changes?
There have been recent tweaks to Capital Gains Tax. This means that buy-to-let investors also face a heftier tax bill on profits when they sell up. The Capital Gains Tax rate on residential property is 28% for higher rate taxpayers and 18% for basic rate taxpayers versus 18% and 10% on other assets.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59WKN - This photograph shows an illuminated Christmas display outside a residential property on Ellesmere Road in Stockton Heath, a suburban area of Warrington in Cheshire. The front garden and railings are decorated with strings of white LED lights, alongside large inflatable festive figures including Santa Claus, a snowman, and a decorated Christmas tree, creating a bright and cheerful seasonal scene.
The image was taken at night during the winter months, most likely in December, when Christmas decorations are traditionally displayed across the United Kingdom. The warm glow of the lights contrasts with the darkness of the evening, highlighting the brick façade of the house and the bay window behind the display. The arrangement reflects a common British tradition of decorating homes to mark the Christmas season and contribute to a shared sense of community celebration.
Inflatable decorations such as these have become increasingly popular in recent years, valued for their bold visual impact and ease of installation. In residential areas like Stockton Heath, such displays are often enjoyed by neighbours and passers-by and can become informal local landmarks during the festive period.
Images like this are frequently used to illustrate themes of Christmas, winter celebrations, suburban life, community spirit, seasonal decoration, and British holiday traditions. The photograph captures a familiar and relatable moment of festive enthusiasm within a UK neighbourhood streetscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JNA - This image shows the narrowboat Terbulance travelling along the Bridgewater Canal near the village of Lymm in Cheshire. The green-painted canal boat is captured moving slowly beneath a traditional brick bridge, with trees and vegetation lining the waterway and sunlight filtering through the leaves, creating a calm summer atmosphere.
The Bridgewater Canal is one of Britain's most historically significant waterways, often described as the first true canal of the Industrial Revolution. Today it is primarily used for leisure boating, walking, and cycling, offering a quieter alternative to modern transport and a strong connection to England's industrial and rural heritage.
Narrowboats such as Terbulance are designed for the narrow locks and channels of the UK canal system and are commonly used for holidays, long-term cruising, or as floating homes. The presence of the towpath, grassy banks, and low brick bridge reflects the enduring character of Britain's inland waterways, where historic infrastructure continues to support contemporary leisure use.
Photographed in daylight during summer, the image emphasises themes of slow travel, countryside recreation, and heritage transport. It is well suited to editorial use covering British canals, inland waterways, leisure boating, rural England, tourism, and the preservation and modern use of historic canal networks.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X9BP77 - A memorial stone dedicated to Tim Parry and Johnathan Ball on Bridge Street in Warrington, Cheshire, England, photographed with flowers and soft toys placed at its base. The tribute commemorates the two children killed in the IRA bombing that took place in the town centre in March 1993.
The memorial stands close to the site of the attack and has become a focal point for remembrance, reflection, and peace advocacy. The presence of children's toys alongside floral tributes highlights the loss of young lives and the lasting emotional impact of the bombing on the local community and the wider public.
The Warrington bombing remains one of the most significant incidents of mainland UK terrorism linked to the Northern Ireland conflict. Memorials such as this serve both as acts of remembrance and as public statements against violence, often attracting tributes on anniversaries and during periods of renewed public reflection on peace and reconciliation.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating UK terrorism memorials, public remembrance, community responses to violence, British social history, the legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict in England, and civic spaces of memory and reflection.

Constructed in red brick with a metal cupola and clock faces on each side, the tower reflects Victorian park and estate architecture and acts as a recognisable local landmark.
Walton Hall and Gardens is a well-known green space serving the Warrington area, offering landscaped gardens, mature trees, and heritage buildings within the former grounds of Walton Hall. The clock tower stands out against a clear blue sky, framed by surrounding greenery, highlighting the park's role as both a recreational amenity and a site of local historical interest.
The image is suitable for editorial and commercial use illustrating British parks, heritage architecture, civic spaces, local landmarks, and leisure environments in north-west England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JG21Y9 - AA Limited, trading as The AA (formerly The Automobile Association), is a British motoring association.
Founded in 1905, it provides vehicle insurance, driving lessons, breakdown cover, loans, motoring advice, road maps and other services. The association demutualised in 1999, to become a private limited company, and from 2014 a public limited company (PLC). In 2002 the AA Motoring Trust was created to continue its public interest and road safety activities.
In 2021, a consortium led by Tower Brook Capital Partners and Warburg Pincus completed the acquisition of AA Limited (formerly known as AA PLC).
The Automobile Association was founded in 1905, to help motorists avoid police speed traps, in response to the Motor Car Act 1903 which introduced new penalties for breaking the speed limit, for reckless driving with fines, endorsements and the possibility of jail for speeding and other driving offences. The act also required drivers to hold a driving licence (which was obtained without a test on payment of five shillings at a post office) and to display a registration plate on their vehicle

Thursday, 10 March 2022, more at https://www.warrington.gov.uk/news/stockton-heath-swing-bridge-set-refurbishment
Plans continue to develop for the full refurbishment of Stockton Heath swing bridge, with works targeted to take place next year.
The works will involve Peel Ports investing around £6million in undertaking a complete structural, mechanical, electrical refurbishment and repainting programme to improve the longevity of this key asset.
The swing bridge, across the Manchester Ship Canal, links Stockton Heath village to the town centre and the north.
Peel Ports and Warrington Borough Council are in advanced discussions for the major refurbishment works to begin in April 2023. This date has been chosen in order to ensure that there is sufficient time for preparations to be made for these works, to ensure that their impact can be mitigated as much as possible.
However, it is clear that these essential works will cause considerable disruption, and both Peel Ports and the council feel it is vital to give as much warning time as possible of the planned works.
The chosen start date will also ensure that the majority of the works are undertaken during more favourable weather conditions. In addition, the inclusion of the summer holidays in the works period (where traffic flows and associated disruption will also be reduced), aims to minimise disruption to children travelling to and from school.
Peel Ports estimate that the works will take approximately nine months to complete and have ensured 12 months' notice to communicate this so bridge users can make alternative arrangements during this time.
Their appointed contractor has looked at all options to undertake these works while maintaining some access for people to cross the bridge. However, due to the extent of the refurbishment, the works can only be carried out safely with the bridge being completely closed to all users, including pedestrians, cyclists

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JDRMGP - Royal Air Force Burtonwood (or RAF Burtonwood) is a former Royal Air Force and United States Army Air Forces base that was located in Burtonwood, 2 miles (3.2 km) Northwest of Warrington in Cheshire, England. The base was opened in 1940 in response to World War II by the RAF and in 1942 it was transferred to the United States of America for war operations. The base was home to 18,000 American servicemen at the end of the war. In 1946 the base was transferred back to the United Kingdom however United States operations continued. The base officially closed in 1991 and since then the runway and most of the associated buildings have been demolished. RAF Burtonwood Heritage Centre was opened on part of the former base
Burtonwood airfield was opened on 1 January 1940 as a servicing and storage centre for modifying British aircraft. It was operated by No. 37 Maintenance Unit RAF until June 1942
The facility was transferred to the United States Army Air Forces in June 1942 to become a servicing centre for the United States Eighth, Ninth, Twelfth and Fifteenth Air Forces aircraft. Burtonwood was also known as Base Air Depot 1 (BAD 1)
When the Cold War ended, Burtonwood Army Depot was declared excess to NATO requirements and was closed in June 1994
In the Heritage centre, planes exhibited are the B-17 Flying Fortress, P-47 Thunderbolt and the B-29 Super Fortress. There is also a selection of Pratt & Whitney Wasp series engines

It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index
On 22 May 2018, it was confirmed that over 100 stores will have closed by 2022 in a radical plan. On 18 August 2020, M&S stated that they would cut 7,000 jobs over the next three months owing to the coronavirus pandemic. In May 2021, the company announced plans to close another 30 shops over the next 10 years as part of its turnaround plan
The company was founded by a partnership between Michael Marks, a Polish Jew born in Slonim (now Belarus), who had migrated to Leeds, England in the early 1880s, and Thomas Spencer, a cashier from the English market town of Skipton in North Yorkshire
In 1901, Marks moved to the Birkenhead open market, where he amalgamated his business with Spencer. In 1903, the two men were allocated stall numbers 11 & 12 in the centre aisle, and there they opened the Penny Bazaar. The company left Birkenhead Market on 24 February 1923.
The next few years saw Michael Marks and Tom Spencer move the original Leeds Penny Bazaar to 20, Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester, and they also opened market stalls in many locations around the North West of England
Marks and Spencer, known colloquially as Marks and Sparks, or M&S, made its reputation in the early 20th century with a policy of only selling British-made goods (it started to back down from this policy in the 1990s).

Lymm and Thelwall look set to become part of the Tatton constituency under a shakeup of England's electoral map.
The Boundary Commission for England has revealed a raft of proposed changes across the country, with just under 10 per cent of existing constituencies remaining unchanged.
In Warrington, the most drastic changes can be found in Warrington South which will lose Lymm and Thelwall to Tatton, currently held by Tory MP Esther McVey.
Warrington North is almost entirely unchanged, save for minor changes which will see the Westbrook Centre moved to Warrington South and part of Chetham Court at Winwick Quay home to businesses including Tenpin Warrington, formerly LA Bowl switched in the opposite direction.
Proposals are due to be implemented in 2023, and aim to ensure that each constituency has roughly the same number of voters

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JC61R9 - St Oswald's Church, is in the village of Winwick, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Liverpool, the archdeaconry of Warrington and the deanery of Winwick.
History
A church at Winwick is recorded in the Domesday Book. The earliest parts of the present church are the bases of the north arcade which date from the early 13th century, and the walls of the Legh Chapel and the organ chamber which are dated 1330. The west tower was built in 1358, and the walls and north arcade of the nave (except for the Legh Chapel and the organ chamber) date from 1580. Much damage was done to the church in 1648 when Oliver Cromwell stationed his troops in the church after the Battle of Red Bank. The south porch was added in 1720, and the south arcade of the nave was rebuilt in 1836 reusing earlier stones. The chancel, sanctuary and vestry were rebuilt by Pugin in 184749 for the 13th Earl of Derby. The spire was rebuilt and the church was restored in 1869 by the Lancaster partnership of Paley and Austin. On Thursday 13 January 1887, Titanic Captain Edward Smith married Sarah Eleanor Pennington in the church. In 193132 Henry Paley successor in the Lancaster architectural practice, now known as Austin and Paley, restored the tower at a cost of £463, and in 1934 he added a new vestry, porch and entrance at a cost of £232
The church is built of sandstone with a metal, stainless steel, roof. Its plan consists of a west tower, a nave of six bays with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chapel in the east bay of each aisle, a chancel and sanctuary of three bays, and a north vestry. The south chapel is the Legh Chapel and the north chapel belonged to the Gerard family. The tower is in three stages and has a recessed spire. On the west face is a door above which is a three-light window.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MN7NWW - Viola Beach will be etched in Warrington's history forever thanks to the bronze frieze of the band unveiled September 2021.
The sculpture added outside Warrington Parr Hall serves as a tribute to Jack Dakin, River Reeves, Kris Leonard, Tom Lowe and Craig Tarry the members and manager of the band.
The frieze, unveiled by the commissioned artist Tom Murphy, depicts the band alongside iconic elements of Warrington and serves as a permanent tribute in their memory.
Ben Dunne, dad of River Reeves, said: As a group of family and friends, seeing our son, step-son, brother, nephew, cousin, and good friend captured in bronze with his mates was both heart-breaking and strangely comforting.
River looked happy and at peace, and to think that people in hundreds of years time will be able to see him like that is almost hard to comprehend.
Thank you to all those people who gave so generously in 2016 and to the council for making it happen, he added.
Thank you also to Tom Murphy for creating something so beautiful now destined to keep River, the band and Craig close to the heart of the town forever.
Leader of the Council, Cllr Russ Bowden, said: The unveiling of the frieze is a celebration of Jack, River, Kris, Tom and Craig, their achievements, and their iconic music.
I am pleased that the council has been able to work with their families to create this fitting tribute, which serves as a humbling reminder of their story.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2E018GP - Woolston Weir Hydro project underway at last
long-awaited hydro-electric power installation planned at Woolston Weir since 2013 is finally getting under way.
The scheme which complements the Environment Agency flood defences is being undertaken by Czech company Hydropol and work has begun clearing the site for the arrival of the equipment starting this week.
This renewable energy electricity source will provide sufficient power for 380 typical UK homes and will effectively save in the region of 750 Tonnes of CO2 per year.
The installation will comprise of three Archimedes screw design turbines which are fish friendly. There will also be an improved and brand new fish pass allowing salmon, coarse fish and eels to pass through unharmed.
Locally available national grid connections means there is no need for pylons and there is sufficient separation from residential properties to ensure no operational noise pollution.
It is situated on the opposite bank of the river from Woolston Eyes so poses no threat to any of the wildlife on the local SSSI.
Main construction is planned between August 2020 and January 2021 with turbine delivery in early 2021 and project completion around April 2021.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2D8D633 - In the 1990s several surveys were undertaken at St Mary's church, highlighting areas of structural instability and poor maintenance. The congregation had also fallen to around 400. The bishop decided to merge the parish with that of St Augustine
that parish had been erected in 1929 to cater for new residential areas in Westy, but the church had been closed and demolished in 2005. A new church would be built to serve the new parish and old St Mary's would be demolished. However, the old church was listed in 2005, and its future remains unresolved.
The new church was built at Latchford, on a site on Knutsford Road equidistant between the two former parish churches. In June 2008 the first designs, by David Horne of Hulme Upright Manning, were displayed, and the comments of the community carefully considered in the final design and decoration of the church. The new church opened in 2010, and may be the first newly-built Catholic church to be dedicated to Blessed John Henry Newman - More at https://taking-stock.org.uk/building/blessed-john-henry-newman-latchford/

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CB00AP - Papaver somniferum, commonly known as the opium poppy or breadseed poppy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae. It is the species of plant from which both opium and poppy seeds are derived and is also a valuable ornamental plant, grown in gardens. Its native range is probably the eastern Mediterranean, but is now obscured by ancient introductions and cultivation, being naturalized across much of Europe and Asia.
This poppy is grown as an agricultural crop on a large scale, for one of three primary purposes. The first is to produce seeds that are eaten by humans, known commonly as poppy seed. The second is to produce opium for use mainly by the pharmaceutical industry. The third is to produce other alkaloids, mainly thebaine and oripavine, that are processed by the pharmaceutical industry into drugs such as hydrocodone and oxycodone. Each of these goals has special breeds that are targeted at one of these businesses, and breeding efforts (including biotechnological ones) are continually underway. A comparatively small amount of Papaver somniferum is also produced commercially for ornamental purposes.
The common name opium poppy is increasingly a misnomer as many varieties have been bred that do not produce a significant quantity of opium. The cultivar 'Sujata' produces no latex at all. Breadseed poppy is more accurate as a common name today because all varieties of Papaver somniferum produce edible seeds. This differentiation has strong implications for legal policy surrounding the growing of this plant

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CB00BW - The River of Life project was developed in the aftermath of the 1993 IRA bomb in Warrington, which killed three-year-old Johnathan Ball and 12-year-old Tim Parry, and led to the death of Bronwen Vickers. It injured 54 others and affected many thousands of people. The international outrage was strongly expressed by mothers and in Dublin thousands gathered in downtown Dublin to express sorrow and revulsion over the deaths of the two children.
The new streetscape and integrated water feature entitled The River of Life' was officially opened on 14th November 1996 by HRH The Duchess of Kent.
Colin and Wendy Parry were thrust into the public gaze and together with the NSPCC established a peace centre in Warrington. The Foundation for Peace and NSPCC joined forces to raise funds for the £3million Centre opened on 20th March 2000...the 7th anniversary of the IRA bomb.

Two bombs exploded on Bridge Street in Warrington about 100 yards apart on 20 March at about 12:25. The blasts happened within a minute of each other with the area crowded with shoppers on the Saturday before Mothering Sunday. Witnesses spoke of shoppers fleeing from the first explosion into the path of the second. It was later found that the bombs had been placed inside cast iron bins causing large amounts of shrapnel. It was a very personal attack on the people of Warrington - and the town needed to respond to it.
The City council asked to meet with me to discuss what form a memorial could take. It became clear that there were contrasting schools of thought with some looking to put it firmly in the past particularly as at the time the economic viability of the town was being threatened, and others who could imagine what I worried as being an overly personal memorial, which may not easily stand the test of time.
My feeling was that the street was not just physically broken but spiritually

In the mid-1980s, it became the first company in the UK to offer an alternative telephone service to British Telecom (via subsidiary Mercury Communications). The company later offered cable TV to its customers, but it sold its cable assets to NTL in 2000. It remained a significant player in the UK telecoms market and in certain overseas markets, especially in the former British colonies of the Caribbean, where it was formerly the monopoly incumbent. It was also the main supplier of communication in the British South Atlantic, including Saint Helena and the Falkland Islands. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
The company split in March 2010, with its international division demerging to form Cable & Wireless Communications. The remainder of the Cable & Wireless business became Cable & Wireless Worldwide and was acquired by Vodafone in 2012.

In the early 1800 (1805 1808 ish) a house stood at the corner of London Road and Walton Road which was the home of Edward Fenna and his family who was the Parish Constable. Outside the house were the Parish Stocks (removed 1850). The house was called the Stone Jug. Fenna would not have had a uniform and was unpaid for the work he did, which was not a lot. He would walk the streets with a lantern at night and have a rattle for attracting attention. He did get paid expenses for duties such as relief of the poor, flogging people and putting people in the stocks, etc.
In 1864 a single storey building was built on the existing site and there was one Sergeant and one PC for the village. The area outside the Police Station (Victoria Square) was called Pigeon Bank' and belonged to the Police Station. Every year the fairground from Warrington (Silcocks) would stop at Stockton Heath on their way to Stoke. With the permission of Sgt. Norris they set up their tents, Dobbie horses (roundabouts), Coconut Shy's etc. It is recorded that one year Sgt. Norris' son who was of age' (over 12 generally) came out of the Police Station, jumped on a Dobbie Horse and broke it.
In 1911 that Police Station was closed and demolished with a new Police Station opening the following year. The dates are to be seen on the headers of the drainpipes.
The new Station incorporated a Magistrate's Court and living quarters for the Inspector. Gas lamps, some of which can still be seen in the cells, illuminated the Police Station. The Inspector's house that was the area now used by the writing room, gents toilet and kitchen and upstairs the waiting room toilets and Court two. The Inspector's daughter who lived until recently in Stockton Heath recalled that her bedroom was the Court Waiting Room. After she came home from school she would have to clean and polish the Court floors for no payment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02N3 - Grappenhall is a semi-rural village in Cheshire, England, along the Bridgewater Canal in the Grappenhall and Thelwall civil parish, which had a population of 9,377 at the 2001 census. It has a cobbled square, St Wilfs at its centre and the Parr Arms Pub.
St Wilfrid's Church is in Church Lane, Grappenhall, a village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth
The church is Norman in origin, built probably in the earlier part of the 12th century and completed about 1120. This was a small and simple church, consisting of a nave, chancel and, possibly, an apse. The foundations of this church were discovered during the 187374 restoration.
A chantry chapel was added by the Boydell family in 1334 in a position where the south aisle now stands. From 1529 the church was largely rebuilt in local sandstone. The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built. In 1539 the south aisle was added, which incorporated the Boydell chapel. The south porch was added in 1641 and at this time the west wall was strengthened. In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built. There was a more substantial restoration in 187374 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about £4,000

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02ND - On World Polio Day, 24th October, thousands of Rotary clubs around the world will hold events and fundraisers to recognize the progress in the global fight to end polio.
Warrington Rotary, as part of its Purple for Polio campaign, and with the support of Warrington Borough Council, intend to mark the occasion by lighting the town hall purple
In 1985, Rotary launched the first initiative to tackle global polio eradication through the mass vaccination of children. Since the first project to vaccinate children polio has been eradicated by 99.9%. Although there is no cure for polio it can be prevented with a vaccine.
Rotary has been joining forces with associations such as the World Health Organization in a battle to reach the remaining endemic countries- Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. Unless polio is eradicated everywhere, within ten years we could see as many as 200,000 new cases annually.
World Polio Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of the devastating effects of polio and why Rotary clubs work together to eradicate it from the world.
The first effective attempt to fight polio was made by Jonas Salk in 1955. He and his team created an inactivate vaccine. To honour his work, Rotary International named October 24th as World Polio Day.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AF831P - CSIs examine crime scenes to gather forensic evidence that will ultimately lead to the detection and prosecution of criminals.
CSIs are not police officers, they are support staff: civilians who are employed by police forces.
A Police CSI unit provides cover 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
CSIs are trained to identify, record and recover forensic evidence from all types of crime, ranging from criminal damage, burglary and vehicle crime (known as volume crime) to more serious crime types including arson and murder.
However, a CSI could be asked to attend almost any incident where the potential for forensic evidence has been identified. Unlike CSI Miami CSIs in Cheshire do not analyse evidence themselves or arrest criminals!
CSIs use a wide variety of techniques and equipment to recover forensic evidence. This may include recording the crime scene by taking photographs, powdering for offender's fingerprints, searching for footprints or marks left by tools, taking swabs of blood or collecting fibres, hair, paint or glass.

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

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG996J - The UK homeless charity Shelter put the 2017 figure for the whole of the UK's homeless at 300,000. Recorded deaths among rough sleepers and those in temporary accommodation more than doubled in the five years to 2018. Homeless people die much younger than the general population, research by the Office for National Statistics shows. Homeless men die on average aged 44 while homeless women die on average aged 42. Homeless deaths have been rising stradily in the five years to 2018. Suicide, drug and alcohol abuse are the most common causes of death among homeless people. Jon Sparkes of Crisis urged the government to put causes of homelessness right, like building the number of social homes we need and making sure our welfare system is there to support people when they fall on hard times. The charity, Crisis attributes rising homelessness to a shortage of social housing, housing benefits not covering private rents and there not being homeless prevention schemes for people leaving care. Crisis wants the government to change polixy.
Crisis estimates there are roughly 12,300 rough sleepers in the UK and also 12,000 people sleeping in sheds, bins, cars, tents and night busses. The figure is derived from research by Heriot-Watt University. Rough sleeping has risen by 98% since 2010, sleeping in tents and the like rose 103%. In England rough sleeping rose by 120%, in Wales it rose by 75% and in Scotland it fell by 5%. Scotland has more inclusive homelessness laws, since 2012 guaranteeing a right to settled accommodation for all homeless people, including young single men, while England only houses those in priority need, like families with dependent children. Jon Sparkes of Crisis said, Christmas should be a time of joy, but for thousands of people sleeping rough, in tents or on public transport it will be anything but. While most of the country will be celebrating and enjoying a family meal, those who are homeless will face a struggle just to stay safe and escape the c

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4556143485 - 'St Thomas' Church is in Stockton Heath, to the south of Warrington, Cheshire, England. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building,[1] and is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth.
The present church was built in 1868 on the site of a former church that had been erected in 1838. It was designed by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley, the main benefactor being Sir Gilbert Greenall. The tower was added later although a full set of bells were not installed until 2016. The current ring of 10 bells consists of 8 bells donated from St. John the Baptist, Bollington supplemented with two new trebles cast by John Taylor &
Co. A campaign to keep a tolling bell dating from 1883 dedicated to the wife of John Crosfield (son of Joseph Crosfield) took place in an attempt to retain the bell locally.
It is constructed in pinkish-red sandstone with Westmorland slate roofs. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with a south aisle under a parallel ridged roof, a south porch, a north transept, a north vestry, a two-bay chancel and a west tower. The tower is in four stages with an octagonal southeast turret and an embattled parapet.
The chancel is decorated with richly coloured patterned tilework and the reredos is of marble and embossed patterned tiles. The organ was built around 1880 by Young and Sons and rebuilt in 1963 by Rushworth and Dreaper of Liverpool.
The churchyard contains the war graves of 31 service personnel, 17 from World War I and 14 from World War II.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PYX9B0 - The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower that has been used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war, and represents a common or field poppy, Papaver rhoeas. Inspired by the World War I poem In Flanders Fields, and promoted by Moina Michael, they were first adopted by the American Legion to commemorate American soldiers killed in that war (19141918). They were then adopted by military veterans' groups in parts of the British Empire.
Today, they are mostly used in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, to commemorate their servicemen and women killed in all conflicts. There, small artificial poppies are often worn on clothing leading up to Remembrance Day/Armistice Day, and poppy wreaths are often laid at war memorials. In Australia and New Zealand, they are also worn on Anzac Day.
The Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal has caused some controversy, with someincluding British Army veteransarguing that it has become excessive, is being used to marshal support behind British military campaigns, and that public figures are pressured to wear poppies.
In the United Kingdom, remembrance poppies are sold by The Royal British Legion (RBL). This is a charity providing financial, social, political and emotional support to those who have served or who are currently serving in the British Armed Forces, and their dependants. They are sold on the streets by volunteers in the weeks before Remembrance Day. The remembrance poppy is the trademark of The Royal British Legion. The RBL state, The red poppy is our registered mark and its only lawful use is to raise funds for the Poppy Appeal
its yearly fundraising drive in the weeks before Remembrance Day. The RBL says these poppies are worn to commemorate the sacrifices of our Armed Forces and to show support to those still serving today. Other poppy merchandise is sold throughout the year as part of the ongoing fundraising.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4580364833 - 'Warrington town hall\u2019s Grade II listed gates were last refurbished in 1978 and in February 2018, a passer-by spotted chunks falling from the ironwork.
A survey carried out before the English Half Marathon found parts of the gate were \u2018alarmingly unstable\u2019.
Contractors warned that although the structure was safe, the council would be taking a risk if runners were to start and end the race by passing through the town's Golden Gates.
The council has now hired engineering consultants Ramboll to apply for planning permission to remove the gates so repair work can be carried out at a secure location.
If the plans go ahead, the refurbishment should be completed in time for the Walking Day procession to pass through the Golden Gates next summer.
Work could cost in the region of \u00a3500,000.
Planning documents say it will take several months for the gates to be restored and temporary fencing will be put in place while the work is carried out.
According to the local newspaper, Warrington Borough Council Leader, Cllr Terry O\u2019Neill, said: \u201cThe golden gates are an iconic symbol of Warrington and a hugely important part of our history and heritage.
\u201cThey are also part of the Grade I listed Town Hall site, which we have a duty to preserve. That\u2019s why we want to take action now to protect their future.
\u201cIt\u2019s important to remember that these gates are unique \u2013 there are no others like them in the world. Therefore, this will require very complex, technical works.\u201d
About 10 of the floral decorations on the gates are broken and areas of decorative ironwork are also corroded.
The smaller pedestrian gates are also broken and cannot be opened.
Cllr O\u2019Neill added: \u201cThis planning application is the next stage of this important project. If it is approved, we can move ahead with identifying a firm with the right expertise \u2013 who can provide value for money, and take a conservation-based approach that will ensure our gates remain a much-loved symbol of our civic pride for many years to come.\u201d
The Golden Gates were built in 1862 and were destined to be a gift for Queen Victoria to be installed at Sandringham. But when she went to take a look at them, she was shocked to see a statue of Oliver Cromwell standing behind them and refused to accept the present.
Interesting factoid: Contrary to popular belief they have not removed the 4th angel. The winged figures represent Nike, goddess of Victory, actually a nod to Queen Victoria in 1895.

For example, the police or the local authority can remove a car that is contravening a parking restriction, is blocking the road or has broken down.
Fines Enforcement Officers can organise for a car to be seized if you have not paid a number of fines.
Another organisation that can clamp or tow cars is the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA). VOSA enforcement officers can do this when a car is a danger to road users. This often applies to commercial vehicles such as lorries where they are not roadworthy, they are overloaded, the driver has been driving for too many hours or has not paid a financial fine that VOSA has issued to them.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PG69GC - This first part of a 25-year strategic masterplan for the town centre and waterfront area will help the Council realise its ambitious plans for the regeneration of Bridge Street and Time Square.
The first phase comprises a new 25,500 sq ft retail shell which will become the temporary home for Warrington's award-winning market whilst a permanent market hall is being constructed. The temporary market shell will then be converted for retail use. Construction of this first phase is now under way.
Planning permission for a multi-storey car park, offering space for around 1,200 vehicles across eight-levels, has been secured.
The overall scheme will provide 40,000 sq ft of retail, 92,000 sq ft of leisure (including a cinema and seven family restaurants), a 42,000 sq ft indoor market hall, a 100,000 sq ft Council office building, the car park and a new public square.
When open in 2019 the development will include a new state-of-the-art, 13 screen, 2,500 seat multiplex cinema operated by Cineworld. The project will also see the development of several restaurants, a new market hall, new council offices, a new 1300 space multi-storey car park and a new civic square.
The new temporary market was opened on 2 September 2017 by the Lord Mayor and will be home for the market traders until work is completed on the second phase of development. The second phase will see the demolition of the current market hall and the build of the new permanent £10 million, 31,150 sq. ft. market market hall as well as the construction of contemporary new offices for the council.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTAE6 - Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, (27 January 1832 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer of world-famous children's fiction, notably Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass. He was noted for his facility at word play, logic and fantasy. The poems Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark are classified in the genre of literary nonsense. He was also a mathematician, photographer and Anglican deacon.
Carroll came from a family of High Church Anglicans, and developed a long relationship with Christ Church, Oxford, where he lived for most of his life as a scholar and teacher. It was the Dean of Christ Church, Henry Liddell, whose daughter Alice is widely identified as the original for Alice in Wonderland, though Carroll always denied this.
Several aspects of Carroll's life appear to confirm suspicions that he was a pedophile, though scholars have also made a credible case in his defence. In the absence of hard evidence, the issue of Carroll's hidden private life has provoked a lively debate, especially in recent times.
Dodgson was born in the small parsonage at Daresbury in Cheshire near the towns of Warrington and Runcorn, the eldest boy but already the third child of the four-and-a-half-year-old marriage. Eight more children followed. When Charles was 11, his father was given the living of Croft-on-Tees in North Yorkshire, and the whole family moved to the spacious rectory. This remained their home for the next 25 years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTAEP - Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, (27 January 1832 14 January 1898), better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English writer of world-famous children's fiction, notably Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass. He was noted for his facility at word play, logic and fantasy. The poems Jabberwocky and The Hunting of the Snark are classified in the genre of literary nonsense. He was also a mathematician, photographer and Anglican deacon.
Carroll came from a family of High Church Anglicans, and developed a long relationship with Christ Church, Oxford, where he lived for most of his life as a scholar and teacher. It was the Dean of Christ Church, Henry Liddell, whose daughter Alice is widely identified as the original for Alice in Wonderland, though Carroll always denied this.
Several aspects of Carroll's life appear to confirm suspicions that he was a pedophile, though scholars have also made a credible case in his defence. In the absence of hard evidence, the issue of Carroll's hidden private life has provoked a lively debate, especially in recent times.
Dodgson was born in the small parsonage at Daresbury in Cheshire near the towns of Warrington and Runcorn, the eldest boy but already the third child of the four-and-a-half-year-old marriage. Eight more children followed. When Charles was 11, his father was given the living of Croft-on-Tees in North Yorkshire, and the whole family moved to the spacious rectory. This remained their home for the next 25 years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PC9XYC - The town's three community recycling centres (CRCs) are located in Stockton Heath, on Sandy Lane, Gatewarth, on Barnard Street, and Woolston, on New Cut Lane.
The village site was saved in 2014 following a huge public outcry over plans to shut it.
A petition opposing any proposed closure was launched in April after the Warrington Guardian revealed the tip had been earmarked for closure.
The petition, which has secured more than 3,000 signatures, has been submitted to the authority.
During Tuesday's executive board meeting, members approved plans to carry out a six-week consultation 'on the current and potential future provision of waste recycling services' at the facility.
In her report to members, Cllr Judith Guthrie, executive board member for environment and public protection, said: Given the current site constraints of Stockton Heath, with particular regard to the size and access restrictions, together with the impact on immediate neighbours, officers understand that obtaining the required environmental permit would be challenging, in respect to both achieving technical and environmental specification compliance.
However, before any decision is made on the future of Stockton Heath, we propose to undertake a consultation on the provision of waste recycling services at the site to obtain consultees' views on future options.
The current budget for the operation of the three CRCs is £854,854, which includes disposal and management fee haulage costs.
However, the cost of operating these sites in 2017-18 was £1,149,110 an overspend of £294,256.
Deputy council leader Cllr Russ Bowden said: What is clear to me is, if we are designing a waste system for Warrington with a blank sheet of paper, it would not look anything like this.
I think what we can see is the Stockton Heath site is far more expensive to run than the other two.
It is right the council consults with the public about the future provision of that site.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PC2FCA - Grappenhall Cricket Club played its first game in 1881 on a ground in Bellhouse Lane. The club moved to its current home of Broad Lane in 1892 with a new clubhouse. There have been several new clubhouses built on the existing site with the most recent developments coming in the late 1980's with significant improvements to the facilities in 2011.
In the early days the club played a number of friendly matches. Grappers then played regular fixtures up to the 2nd World War. In 1939, before war broke out, Grappers were founder members of the North Cheshire League but the league was stopped at the start of the war and was never resumed.
From the 1960's onwards GCC were members of the Manchester Association which was the prelude to the clubs most successful period.
The 70's & 80's the golden years
In 1981, after a couple of good seasons following promotion to the top division in the late 70's, the 1st XI won the top flight for the first time. One of Grappenhall's best teams, it included some famous Grappers names such as Duncan Martindale, Rick Houghton, Chris Ashton, Neil Titchard, Jim Green, Nick Sharp and a young Neil Fairbrother, only a few years before he headed off for big things with Lancashire and England.
In 1982, the 1st XI went one better, this time winning the league and cup double with the HC Cup Final being one of a number of appearances the club mate at Old Trafford in the 80's.
The double was repeated in 1987 with another appearance at Old Trafford, this time with the team including another future Lancashire star and future Grappers captain in Steve Titchard. In the same season, the 2nd XI also tasted success by winning the Worthington Cup.
There were a number of other cup successes for the club during this period for the different senior and junior teams, with many a memorable game taking place and the tales still being regaled today.
In 1992, the club were in their last season in Manchester Association before a move to the CCCL

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H0GD13 - Grappenhall is a suburban village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is situated along the Bridgewater Canal, and forms one of the principal settlements of Grappenhall and Thelwall civil parish. According to the 2001 UK census, the population of the entire civil parish was 9,377.
Grappenhall is mentioned in the Domesday Book with the name Gropenhale and with a valuation of five shillings.
St Wilfrid's Church has a carving of a cat on the west face of the tower. This is believed to be Lewis Carroll's inspiration for the grinning Cheshire Cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The church itself was first constructed in 1120, though was rebuilt 400 years later. The church was also, at a time, in the possession of the Boidelle (Boydell) family.
Along with the church, the centre of the village contains two pubs the Parr Arms and the Ram's Head and Grappenhall Hall Residential School (no longer a Residential School) and St. Wilfrid's Primary School. Bradshaw Community Primary School is located north of the village centre.
Parts of the Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes were filmed in the centre of Grappenhall. The village name appears in the title of the song Grappenhall Rag, by the Darwen singer-songwriter Bryn Haworth.
Grappenhall is home to the 25th Warrington East (St. Wilfrid's) Scout Troop. There is also a cricket ground, which is the home of Grappenhall Cricket Club.

It is several of the cultivated varieties of beet (Beta vulgaris) grown for their edible taproots and their greens. These varieties have been classified as B. vulgaris subsp. vulgaris Conditiva Group.
Other than as a food, its uses include food coloring and as a medicinal plant. Many beet products are made from other Beta vulgaris varieties, particularly sugar beet.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXMHD - The parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a root vegetable closely related to the carrot and parsley. It is a biennial plant usually grown as an annual. Its long tuberous root has cream-colored skin and flesh and can be left in the ground when mature as it becomes sweeter in flavor after winter frosts. In its first growing season, the plant has a rosette of pinnate, mid-green leaves. If unharvested, it produces its flowering stem, topped by an umbel of small yellow flowers, in its second growing season. By this time the stem is woody and the tuber inedible. The seeds are pale brown, flat and winged.
The parsnip is native to Eurasia. It has been used as a vegetable since antiquity and was cultivated by the Romans, although there is some confusion in the literature of the time between parsnips and carrots. It was used as a sweetener before the arrival in Europe of cane sugar. It was introduced into the United States in the nineteenth century.
The parsnip is usually cooked but can also be eaten raw. It is high in vitamins and minerals, especially potassium. It also contains antioxidants and both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. It can be cultivated in deep, stone-free soils and is attacked by the carrot fly and other insect pests, viruses and fungal diseases, of which canker is the most serious. In sunlight, handling the stems and foliage can cause a skin rash.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYJP9 - Robert, Vasana & Jan have been creating and cooking Thai & Asian food for 17 years around the country. This is our latest venture, and by far a smaller pub.
Much more cosier and warm. Colin Crompton from the Comedians, and the Wheel Tappers & Shunters Social Club use to own our pub, and we are proud of that.
Most important to us, is to let our customers know that as well as having the Food side to the pub we will be running a locals bar as well. Having 1 guest beer in every week and we have a full range of Wines.
The food offer ranges from our secret recipe of Crispy Shredded Beef, to Tom Yam Soup and Thai Green Curry. The average price of our meals with rice is £8.00, but we always include Thai fragrant rice with our meals, we don't believe you so have to pay. It's like ordering Roast Beef and having to pay for the Yorkshire pudding.
We offer Thai, Chinese and our own recipes we have picked up from Asia. There is about 80 dishes in all, vegetarian and gluten free option are available.
Also offer a takeaway service, with 25% discount. We were one of the first pubs in the 1990's to offer a takeaway from a pub
There is an English selection of sandwiches, and light snacks through out the day, and also till 18.00pm we offer the Early Bird, which is 2 courses for £9.99. In the evening we will still offer a small selection of English food.

The tuber is flattened and finger-like. The long leaves are lanceolate and, in most species, also speckled. They grow along a rather long stem which reaches a height of 7090 cm (2835 in). Leaves higher on the stem are shorter than leaves lower on the stem. The inflorescence, compared to the length of the plant, is rather short. It consists of a compact raceme with 25-50 flowers. These develop from axillary buds. The dominant colors are white and all shades of pink to red, sprinkled with darker speckles. These terrestrial orchids grow in basic soils in wet meadows, bogs, heathland and in areas sparsely populated by trees.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5286483086 - 'I Predict A Riot - 'Kaiser Chiefs' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
The bands best known track, B-Sided with 'Take My Temperature', it documents a rowdy night out in their native Leeds, Yorkshire with members from the former band Black Wire. Professional Yorkshiremen, the track uses words like 'thee' to press the point home. Mention of chip fat (not oil) is also significant. A vegan friend of mine living in Yorkshire was always bemused to see chip shops proudly displaying signs like 'Everything fried in lard', or similar.
A friday or saturday night in Leeds can indeed become lairy when shell-suited folk ask for a pound for the buz or a condom. You are well advised to spot them at 50 paces and make good your escape! In fairness, not an experience exclusive to Yorkhire.
The track mentions John Smeaton ('an old Leodiensian'). He was a Civil Engineer, born in Austhorpe, Leeds 1724. Boris Johnson described the Kaisers as 'the weeds from Leeds' and compared the lyrics with that of 'White Riot' by The Clash.
------------------------
Lizzie and Owen are both Appleton college students, this is part of Bridgewater High School, Warrington, England UK. On this saturday they garnered over 160 signatures, including mine. Lizzie told me that she received some very positive feedback from members of the public who could relate to the situation because they'd either been to university themselves or who had children either currently attending or wanting to in the future. One woman actually told me she went to University when it was free, but said she wouldn't now due to the amount of debt.
Some people who had seen her protesting decided to alert the police, exaggerating the situation, however the police turned out to be really supportive and encouraging! By all accounts the police are currently picking up lots of overtime due to these protests as the cutbacks will not allow deployment of additional officers.
Lizzie was clear where she thought the blame should be. 'I think what frustrates students the most is the role deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has played in the proposals. during his election campaign he made a ridiculous and highly ambitious claim that if his party won, he would make all University education free. considering the current climate, this proposal was never at all realistic, and i do agree that students should contribute some money towards their higher education. however, for Nick Clegg to have voted in favour of the raising of tuition fees shows he has completely gone against his word to the public and future students. what annoys me further is the fact that Vince Cable- a Lib Dem minister- who was responsible for drawing up the plans to increase fees by treble the amount threatened to abstain over the issue
being responsible for it he should have accepted the consequences for his actions'.
'if the legislation is passed as intended in 2012, then students in the UK will be paying more than any others in Europe. what the increase in fees represents is the Tories once again focussing on helping those at the top. it means that only those who can afford it will be able to go, who aren't necessarily always going to be the people who work the hardest and achieve the best results
it will make it a place of elitists once again. this coalition government is being governed solely by one party, with the Lib Dems cowardly giving in to everything asked of them. the strikes and protests led by the students were admirable, and while i don't condone the violence they were clearly provoked at times- members of the royal family being driven right through the centre of the protests. it is reported that Nick Clegg had to get the Tories to agree with some of his policies before he agreed to vote in favour of the increased tuition fees. it was called a compromise. but was it a compromise worth taking?!...... Definitely not!!!'
Interestingly, only English students will be shouldering these cuts, although MP's from right across the UK voted it in. Surely about time some form of devolved English parliament should be looked into....
With us only days before ushering in a new year, I think we might be seeing a bit more of this kind of thing!

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A9GHTR - Attempting to mislead voters by using polling data to claim electoral advantage over rivals could have long-term implications for trust in politicians, a fact-checking charity has warned.
Leaflets sent to the Guardian from readers around the country show the Liberal Democrats in particular appear to be using bar charts to press home a message that they have a good chance of winning, even in seats where the likes of the Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg or Labour stalwarts are seen as difficult to dislodge.
In some leaflets the party omitted spectacular results for the Brexit party in bar charts showing the European election results, while in others it projected local election results to forecast wins in the general election.
The chief executive of the independent fact-checking charity Full Fact, Will Moy, said dubious use of data would damage the future trust of voters.
Honesty in politics matters, whether it's in a speech or in a leaflet. It's misleading to present a mix of data from different polls and constituency boundaries as an accurate predictor of local results this December, he said. Parliamentary candidates are asking voters for their trust over the next five years. The words of our future MPs shouldn't be undermined by misleading use of graphs or polls.
From Totnes to Wimbledon, Oxford and Warwick, the Liberal Democrats have used phone surveys and local, district and European elections data to try to convince voters of their ability to win.
The muddling of data for electoral advantage was a perennial problem and practised by all parties, including the Tories who recently claimed Labour party plans would cost £1.2tn, said the psephologist John Curtice.
In 75 constituencies where the Lib Dems came third last time, the European election projections would put them in second place. The Lib Dems always suffer from the potential perception we can't possibly win' and that's why they are using the European elections.

It is situated along the Bridgewater Canal, and forms one of the principal settlements of Grappenhall and Thelwall civil parish. According to the 2001 UK census, the population of the entire civil parish was 9,377.
Grappenhall is mentioned in the Domesday Book under the name Gropenhale, which states it to be worth five shillings. I have heard someone refer to Gropenhale as meaning 'Ye Groping Place' in olde english, but this could be pure speculation.
St Wilfrid's Church, the tower of which can be seen here, has a carving of a cat on the west face of the tower. This is believed to be Lewis Carroll's inspiration for the grinning Cheshire Cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The church itself was first constructed in 1120, though was rebuilt 400 years later. The church was also, at a time, in the possession of the Boidelle (Boydell) family.
Along with the church, the centre of the village contains two pubs (The recently refurbished Rams Head and the Parr Arms now a Robinsons house). Grappenhall Hall residential School and St. Wilfrids Primary School can be found behind where this shot was taken.
Snow is relatively rare here as the village sits on the Cheshire plain, not too far from the sea. In the many years I have lived here I must have only ever see snow stick for more than a day, three times. In january 2010 like most of the UK, the snow persisted for many weeks. It might be just my imagination, but spring blossom seemed much brighter and stronger this year, maybe because of this.
