Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R64MP8 - This image shows platform signage and passenger information displays at Hamilton Square station, part of the Merseyrail underground network serving the Wirral and Liverpool City Region. The distinctive yellow wall panels, station name sign, and clearly presented travel information boards reflect the consistent visual identity used across the Merseyrail system.
Hamilton Square is one of the busiest stations on the Wirral Line and plays a key role in commuter travel between Birkenhead, Liverpool city centre, and surrounding areas. As an underground station, it forms part of a network that combines deep-level sections with surface rail, providing frequent, high-capacity services for daily travel.
The image highlights practical elements of rail infrastructure, including wayfinding, timetables, and platform guidance, all essential to the smooth operation of a high-frequency suburban rail system. The signage also illustrates how passenger information is prioritised in busy urban stations to support accessibility and efficient movement.
Photographed in even interior lighting with no passengers visible, the image provides a neutral, documentary view of modern UK suburban rail infrastructure. It is well suited for editorial use covering public transport, urban mobility, commuter rail systems, and the everyday operation of the Merseyrail network.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAJ31B - HMS Birkenhead, also referred to as HM Troopship Birkenhead or Steam Frigate Birkenhead, was one of the first iron-hulled ships built for the Royal Navy. She was designed as a steam frigate, but was converted to a troopship before being commissioned. She was wrecked on 26 February 1852, while transporting troops to Algoa Bay at Danger Point near Gansbaai, 87 miles (140 kilometres) from Cape Town in the Cape Colony. There were not enough serviceable lifeboats for all the passengers, and the soldiers famously stood firm on board, thereby allowing the women and children to board the boats safely and escape the sinking. Only 193 of the estimated 643 people on board survived, and the soldiers' chivalry gave rise to the unofficial women and children first protocol when abandoning ship, while the Birkenhead drill of Rudyard Kipling's poem came to describe courage in face of hopeless circumstances. This mural was painted in appalilng weather conditions in January 2020 by Liverpool artist, Paul Curtis. It is located on the side of Gallagher's Traditional Pub, located in Birkenhead, overlooking the River Mersey.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTA01 - The Wirral line is one of two commuter railway lines operated by Merseyrail and centred on Merseyside, England, the other being the Northern line. A third line of the Merseyrail network, the City Line, is not operated by the Merseyrail train operating company, though it also receives funding from Merseytravel, the passenger transport executive for Merseyside.
The Wirral line connects Liverpool to the Wirral Peninsula via the Mersey Railway Tunnel, with branches to New Brighton, West Kirby, Chester and Ellesmere Port. Beneath Liverpool, the line follows a clockwise circular route in a single-track tunnel called the Loop, built in the early 1970s.
The line was created by the amalgamation of several historic railways, and has carried its present name since the opening of the Merseyrail network by Queen Elizabeth II on 25 October 1978 during the British Rail period. The Wirral line is fully electrified with a DC third rail, and has existed in its current form since May 1994 with the start of electric services to Ellesmere Port. A total of 34 stations are served, with connections available to mainline services at Liverpool Lime Street and Chester. The line also connects with the Northern Line of the Merseyrail network at Liverpool Central and Moorfields.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTA5K - The underground, low level station consists of a single platform, alongside the Liverpool Loop tunnel, a single track tunnel bored in the 1970s, and a ticket hall above. The station, opened in 1977, is connected to the mainline station by means of a pedestrian subway and escalators, accessed via a long passageway which crosses beneath Lime Street itself, and by a lift from the main concourse.
As part of a programme of improvements by Merseytravel, the underground station has been fitted with automatic ticket barriers and machines.
Network Rail announced in early 2013 that Lime Street was to be the third station to be refurbished as part of the ?œ40 million investment which would see all Merseyrail underground stations excluding Conway Park refurbished. This included the refurbishment of the platform and the booking hall. The station refurbishment work took place between April and August 2013.
Subway refurbishment
The subway linking the underground station to the mainline station was refurbished in June 2014. The subway was fitted out with new tiles, lighting, flooring and automatic doors to some of the entrances.
The underground station had WiFi installed in January 2016.
In March 2016, it was announced that the Wirral Line loop would be having its track renewed. The underground station was closed between 3 January 2017 and 18 June 2017 whilst the works took place.
Services
Services operate on a 5-minute frequency Monday-Saturday, and between 5- and 10-minute frequency on Sundays in the winter. All trains travel through to Liverpool Central and Birkenhead of which:
4 trains per hour continue to New Brighton
4 trains per hour continue to West Kirby
4 trains per hour continue to Chester
2 trains per hour continue to Ellesmere Port
To reach destinations on the Northern Line of the network, passengers must either use the Wirral Line and change at Liverpool Central station or walk the short distance to the station.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTA9J - Merseyrail is both a train operating company (TOC) and a commuter rail network in and around Liverpool City Region, England. It is a part of Serco-Abellio, and is formed of two electrified lines of the National Rail network known as the Northern Line and the Wirral Line which run underground in central Liverpool. A third line, separate from the electrified network, is named the City Line, which is a term used by the governing body Merseytravel referring to local services it sponsors on the Liverpool to Manchester Lines and Liverpool to Wigan Line operated by Northern.
The Merseyrail network has 68 stations and 75 miles of route, of which 6.5 miles are underground. Carrying approximately 110,000 passengers each weekday,[6] or 34 million passengers per year, it forms the most heavily used urban railway network in the UK outside London. The network is operated by a joint venture between franchise holder Serco and Abellio, who superseded Arriva Trains Merseyside in 2003. The contract is for 25 years expiring in 2028. Serco-Abellio operate a fleet of 59 trains and as of 2015, employ 1,200 people.
The large comprehensive urban network was formed in 1977 by merging separate rail lines by the construction of new tunnels under Liverpool city centre and Birkenhead. Although financial constraints have prevented some of the 1970s plans for the network being realised, the network has been extended, with additional extensions proposed.
The Merseyrail name became the official brand for the network in the days of British Rail, surviving several franchise holders, although the name was not used by Arriva when holding the franchise. Despite this, Merseytravel continued the Merseyrail branding at stations, allowing the name to be adopted colloquially. Merseyrail is referred to as Merseyrail Electrics by National Rail Enquiries, and as Serco/Abellio Merseyrail by Merseytravel.

Royal Liver Building, built between 1908 and 1911 and designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas. It is a grade I listed building consisting of two clock towers, both crowned by mythical Liver Birds. The building is the headquarters of the Royal Liver Friendly Society.
Cunard Building, constructed between 1914 and 1916 and a grade II* listed building. It is the former headquarters of the Cunard Line shipping company.
Port of Liverpool Building, built from 1903 to 1907 and also grade II* listed. It is the former home of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board.
Also on the site is the grade II listed Mersey Tunnel building, to the east of the Port of Liverpool building. It was built in the 1930s and contains offices and ventilator equipment for the Queensway Tunnel.

Ten is the base of the decimal numeral system, by far the most common system of denoting numbers in both spoken and written language. The reason for the choice of ten is assumed to be that humans have ten fingers (digits).
Ten is a composite number, its proper divisors being 1, 2 and 5. Ten is the smallest noncototient, a number that cannot be expressed as the difference between any integer and the total number of coprimes below it.
Ten is the second discrete semiprime (2.5) and the second member of the (2.q) discrete semiprime family. Ten has an aliquot sum \u03c3(n) of 8 and is accordingly the first discrete semiprime to be in deficit. All subsequent discrete semiprimes are in deficit. The aliquot sequence for 10 comprises five members (10,8,7,1,0) with this number being the second composite member of the 7-aliquot tree.
It is the aliquot sum of only one number the discrete semiprime 14.
Ten is a semi-meandric number.
The Roman numeral for ten is X (which looks like two V's [the Roman numeral for 5] put together)
it is thought that the V for five is derived from an open hand (five digits displayed). Incidentally, the Chinese word numeral for ten, is a cross, too: \u5341.
There are said to be Ten Lost Tribes of Israel (those other than Judah and Benjamin). There are Ten Sephirot in the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. The Bible records 10 generations between Adam and Noah, and 10 generations between Noah and Abraham.
'Ten' is an album by Y&

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'First I want a kiss, then I want it all......'
Well its been a few weeks in arriving, but seminal Scousers Echo and the Bunnymen have finally arrived on my iPod.
Echo was the name given to the bands original drum machine (in legend, although maybe not in fact), that backed up Ian McCulloch (vox), Will Sergeant (guitar) and Les Pattinson (Bass). By 1980 a permanent drummer, Pete de Freitas was installed. He was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1989.
Ian McCulloch back in 1977 was one third of the 'Crucial Three', a bedroom band which also featured Julian Cope (Teardrop Explodes) and Pete Wylie (Wah Heat).
I have the first single (from Bill Drummond and David Balfe's Zoo label) 'The Pictures On My Wall' (b-sided with 'Read It In Books') with 'The Revenge Of Voodoo Billy' scratched in the run out groove, up in my loft. Its pretty much played to death. I think I bought it at 'Probe' the original record shop that was up in what is now known as Cavern walks in Liverpool. It stocked all the indie vinyl and sold tickets to Erics, the local punk band venue. Echo &
the Bunnymen made their debut at Liverpool's Eric's Club in November 1978.
The band were influenced by the same artists as their other North West contemporaries Joy Division, The Doors and Velvet underground. Like them, they often play Doors covers live.
For the ultimate resource on the band, checkout www.villiersterrace.com , to get a feel for the band, checkout the live album 'Never Stop: Live in Liverpool'.
------------------------
The RAF Search and Rescue Force (SARF or SAR Force) is the Royal Air Force organization which provides around-the-clock aeronautical search and rescue cover in the United Kingdom, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands.
Although established with a primary role of military search and rescue, most of SARF's operational missions are spent in its secondary role, conducting civil search and rescue. This entails the rescue of civilians from the sea, on mountains, from flooded regions or other locations on land.
The aeronautical search and rescue roles are complemented by the related Royal Air Force Mountain Rescue Service whose trained mountaineers also conduct search and rescue in hilly terrain. SARF helicopters and RAF mountaineers often work together on mountain rescue incidents.
The SAR Force headquarters is situated at RAF Valley on Anglesey, North Wales and this helicopter is probably from 'C Flight' based there.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4660949290 - 'West Kirby contains a large man made coastal lake, the 'Marine Lake'. The structure is large enough to hold sailing events. Swimming is discouraged due to the presence of weaver fish with sharp poisonous barbs. Some of the creatures can be caught by a piece of meat on a cord. I remember yonks ago catching crabs off Cromer pier in Norfolk. If you were lucky then, you got two or three all fighting for a cube of pork! Happy days.
West Kirby is a town on the north-west corner of the coast of the Wirral Peninsula, Merseyside, England, at the mouth of the River Dee across from the Point of Ayr in North Wales.
The name West Kirby is of Viking origin, originally Kirkjubyr, meaning 'village with a church'. The form with the modifier 'West' exists to distinguish it from the other town of the same name in Wirral: Kirkby-in-Walea (now the modern town of Wallasey). The earliest usage given of this form is 'West Kyrkeby in Wirhale' in 1285.
On the lake most days and it must be said in all weathers, you can see windsurfing and many more water related activities including: canoeing
kayaking
and occasional power-boating. In early 2009 it was reported that the lake had undergone structural damage, most likely due to estuarine erosion. Since this report a \u00a3750K refurbishment has taken place to help restore the lake, and is now back to holding water sport activities.
In October 1991 the World Windsurfing Speed Record was set on the West Kirby Marine Lake at 42.16 knots. It was held for two years until it was beaten in Australia.
Notable locals from West Kirby include Daniel Craig, the actor who played James Bond in the 2006 version of Casino Royale, who attended Hilbre High School and Calday Grange Grammar School in West Kirby. Glenda Jackson, actress and politician, attended West Kirby Grammar School.

Birkenhead had the first street tramway in Europe. Opened on 29 August 1860 the first line ran from Woodside (adjoining the terminal of the Mersey Ferry) to Birkenhead Park. This early system was horse-drawn and was the brainchild of flamboyant American, George Francis Train. A preserved tram was on display in the Woodside ferry terminal booking hall.
The system was later electrified and operated from 1901 as Birkenhead Corporation Tramways. Two replica trams, imported from Hong Kong, have been brought into service as part of a heritage tramway between Woodside and Wirral Transport Museum, and Birkenhead Corporation Tramways Car No.20 is preserved on this line and shown here.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HCN8 - Hadlow Road railway station was a station on the single track Hooton to West Kirby branch of the Birkenhead Railway, on the Wirral Peninsula, Cheshire, England.
The station served the village of Willaston. It may be presumed that it was named Hadlow Road to distinguish it from the pre-existing Cheshire station at the other Cheshire village of Willaston, and so named, on the GWR/LNWR joint line between Crewe and Nantwich.
Hadlow Road railway station closed to passengers on 17 September 1956. The track continued to be used for freight transportation and driver training for another six years, closing on 7 May 1962. The tracks were lifted two years later.
The route became the Wirral Way footpath and part of Wirral Country Park in 1973, which was the first such designated site in Britain. All of the station (excluding the westbound platform) has been preserved to give an authentic 1950s look and a short section of track has been relaid in front of the eastbound platform.
The station is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building. It is one of two visitor centres on the Wirral Way, with the other at Thurstaston where the platforms remain in situ, but the station has not been restored.

Many of its monuments and statues are connected with big maritime disasters of the early twentieth century. These include the Titanic, Lusitania and the Empress of Ireland. Other associations with the sea are the Liverpool pilot boat disasters of 1917 and 1939 and the loss of the submarine 'Thetis'.
It is a super place for draping yourself around a limestone angel and well worth a train trip from Chester or east from Liverpool.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RAJ317 - Birkenhead Town Hall is a civic building and former town hall in Birkenhead on the Wirral Peninsula in Merseyside, England. The building was the former administrative headquarters of the County Borough of Birkenhead, and more recently, council offices for the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. Birkenhead Town Hall remains the location of the town's register office. However, since the closure of the Wirral Museum in 2010, there is uncertainty over the future purpose of the Grade II* listed building.
History
When Hamilton Square was designed in the early 19th century, a plot of land was made available for the siting of a town hall between Hamilton Street and Chester Street. Designed by local architect Christopher Ellison, the building was constructed using Scottish granite and sandstone from the now filled-in local quarry at Storeton. It was officially opened in 1887
The building consisted of a council chamber, offices, with a concert hall and function rooms known as the Assembly Rooms. Birkenhead's magistrates' court chambers are located in a separate building of the same design to the rear. The clock tower is 200 feet in height and displays four faces
the clock and five bells within were manufactured and fitted by Gillett & Co. (at a total cost of ?œ900). After a fire in 1901, the upper part of the clock tower was rebuilt to a design by Henry Hartley. The rebuilding included a stained glass window by Gilbert P. Gamon representing Edward I's visit to Birkenhead Priory in 1277
