Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ENMR5F - Mary Mitchell Slessor memorial at St Mary's Tower and church complex in Dundee, Scotland, UK. The portrait medallion of the celebrated Scottish missionary is set into a large natural stone with an explanatory plaque below, standing in landscaped grounds with historic church architecture behind. Mary Slessor grew up in Dundee and worked in the city's jute industry before becoming a Presbyterian missionary in what is now Nigeria, where she became known for her work with local communities, women's rights and opposition to the killing of twins. Her story has a particularly strong association with Dundee's social and industrial history because her early life was shaped by the city's nineteenth-century mill economy. The photograph is suitable for editorial coverage of Mary Slessor, Scottish missionaries, Dundee heritage, women's history, Christianity, social reform, Nigerian history, memorials, public sculpture, church grounds, jute workers and notable Scottish women. The stone monument, portrait and church backdrop provide a clear visual link between Slessor's local Dundee roots and the international humanitarian reputation she later developed.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG1W41 - Heptonstall is a small village and civil parish within the Calderdale borough of West Yorkshire, England, historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The population of Heptonstall, including the hamlets of Colden and Slack Top, is 1,448, increasing to 1,470 at the 2011 Census. The town of Hebden Bridge lies directly to the south-east. Although Heptonstall is part of Hebden Bridge as a post town, it is not within the Hebden Royd town boundaries.
The village is on the route of the Calderdale Way, a 50-mile (80 km) circular walk around the hills and valleys of Calderdale
The place-name 'Heptonstall' is first recorded as Heptonstall in the 1274 Wakefield Court Rolls, and in 1316 in the Feudal Aids. The name means the stall or stable in Hebden. The name 'Hebden' means rose-hip dene or valley
Heptonstall was the site of a battle during the early part of the English Civil War in 1643.
Historically a centre for hand-loom weaving, Heptonstall's cottages and terraced houses are characterised by large first-floor windows to maximise the light for weaving
In the mid-1980s the paving on a road through Heptonstall was removed, revealing the original stone setts. Although there was a plan to remove the setts, local protests convinced the council to restore them. At the same time the existing concrete street lights were replaced with late 19th-century cast-iron gas lamps. Both developments acted as a traffic calming measure.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PCB463 - The Warrington bombings were two separate bomb attacks that happened during early 1993 in Warrington, England. The first attack happened on 26 February, when a bomb exploded at a gas storage facility. It caused extensive damage but no injuries. While fleeing the scene, the bombers shot and injured a police officer and two of them were then caught after a high-speed car chase. The second attack happened on 20 March, when two small bombs exploded in litter bins outside shops and businesses on Bridge Street. Two children were killed and dozens of people were injured. Although a warning or warnings had been sent, the area was not evacuated in time.
The attacks were carried out by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and it has been claimed that members of Red Action were also involved
Shortly before midday on 20 March 1993, The Samaritans in Liverpool received a bomb warning by telephone. According to police, the caller said only that a bomb had been planted outside a Boots shop. Merseyside Police sent officers to branches of Boots in Liverpool and warned the Cheshire Constabulary, who patrolled nearby Warrington. About 30 minutes later, at about 12:25, two bombs exploded on Bridge Street in Warrington, about 100 yards (91 m) apart. The blasts happened within a minute of each other. One exploded outside Boots and McDonald's, and one outside the Argos catalogue store. The area was crowded with shoppers. Witnesses said that the first explosion drove panicking shoppers into the path of the next blast just seconds later. It was later found that the bombs had been placed inside cast-iron litter bins, causing large amounts of shrapnel. Buses were organized to ferry people away from the scene and 20 paramedics and crews from 17 ambulances were sent to deal with the aftermath

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ2A8G - Bacharach (pronunciation (help·info), also known as Bacharach am Rhein) is a town in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rhein-Nahe, whose seat is in Bingen am Rhein, although that town is not within its bounds.
The original name Baccaracus suggests a Celtic origin. Above the town stands Stahleck Castle (Burg Stahleck), now a youth hostel.
Geography
Location
The town lies in the Rhine Gorge, 48 km south of Koblenz.
Constituent communities
Bacharach is divided into several Ortsteile. The outlying centre of Steeg lies in the Steeg Valley (Steeger Tal) off to the side, away from the Rhine. This glen lies between Medenscheid and Neurath to the south and Henschhausen to the north on the heights.
History
In the early 11th century, Bacharach had its first documentary mention. It may have been that as early as the 7th century, the kingly domain passed into Archbishop of Cologne Kunibert's ownership
pointing to this is a Kunibertskapelle (chapel) on the spot where now stands the Wernerkapelle. The Vögte of the Cologne estate were the Elector of the Palatinate, who over time pushed back Cologne's influence.
Caring for and maintaining Bacharach's building monuments, spurred on in the early 20th century by the Rhenish Association for Monument Care and Landscape Preservation (Rheinischer Verein für Denkmalpflege und Landschaftsschutz) which took on the then highly endangered town wall and Stahleck Castle ruin jobs, and the great dedication of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate to the Wernerkapelle have seen to it that Bacharach is still a jewel of the Rheinromantik and a multifaceted documentary site of mediaeval architecture on the Middle Rhine. The Wernerkapelle ruin is under monumental protection and before it a plaque has been placed recalling the inhuman crimes against Jewish residents and also containing a quotation from a prayer by Pope John XXIII for a change in Christians' thinking in their relationship

The surrounding context encompasses visual archive, regional identity, public realm, local history, town-centre trading, local enterprise, high-street commerce, before-and-after reference, independent retail, changing streetscape, archival record, small business, documentary photography, and period detail. Today's relevance is strengthened by commercial rents, business rates and the continuing question of how shopfronts become short-lived records of changing businesses.

Other useful contextual ideas include social history, community identity, local character, specialist retailer, commercial frontage, place identity, specialist shop, and everyday life. The recorded references to Somerville, Royal, pound, polymer, and coins preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time.

Another strand within the photograph is commercial rents and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets without losing the local specificity of Glasgow, Strathclyde, Scotland, UK, G1 1QE. The setting also helps illustrate town-centre regeneration and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets in a form that can be compared with future views of Glasgow, Strathclyde, Scotland, UK, G1 1QE.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KAHRW4 - Betty Campbell MBE (6 November 1934 “ 13 October 2017,born Rachel Elizabeth Johnson) was a Welsh community activist, who was Wales' first black head teacher. Born into a poor household in Butetown, she won a scholarship to the Lady Margaret High School for Girls in Cardiff. Campbell later trained as a teacher, eventually becoming head teacher of Mount Stuart Primary School in Butetown, Cardiff. She put into practice innovative ideas on the education of children and was actively involved in the community.
Betty Johnson became pregnant at the age of 17, while she was doing her A-levels. She left school when she married Rupert Campbell, a fitter's mate, in 1953. Betty Campbell had four children, one of whom had special needs. She had 14 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
In 1960, when Campbell already had three children, she discovered that Cardiff Teacher Training College had started to enrol female students. Campbell applied, and was one of only six female students to be admitted.
Campbell's first teaching post was in Llanrumney. She soon returned to Butetown, getting a job at Mount Stuart Primary School, where she taught for 28 years. As a black teacher she experienced hostility from some parents: They hadn't seen a black teacher before. It was as if you could do a job, but if you're black you weren't quite as good.
Campbell was inspired by a trip to the US where she learned about anti-slavery activists like Harriet Tubman and the civil rights movement. When she became Wales' first black head teacher at Mount Stuart in the 1970s, she began teaching children about slavery, black history and the system of apartheid which operated at the time in South Africa.
Speaking later in the Senedd, Campbell explained: I was determined that I was going to become one of those people and enhance the black spirit, black culture as much as I could. Campbell helped to create Black History Month and taught a series of workshops on the role of Butetown's citizens

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M4W2R3 - . This scene at the recorded location in 2022 forms part of the visual history of the locality, documenting the named subject together with aspects of how the area looked and functioned at the time. The location is represented through The office honesty box, surrounded by crisps and snacks - pay for what you eat. Another layer of the photograph includes commercial frontage, high-street commerce, regional identity, customer footfall, documentary photography, wholegrain cereal, independent retail, town-centre economy, shopfront economy, fruit-topped cereal, public realm, community identity, local character, and brand display. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with cost of living, public health and how fruit and whole grains fit dietary guidance around fibre and micronutrients. The modern context includes continuing discussion of online shopping, business rates and how physical shops adapt to online competition. Small period details of public access and movement at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following later reinterpretation. Other useful contextual ideas include social history, visual archive, breakfast nutrition, retail property, changing land use, before-and-after reference, street-level trading, and changing streetscape. The combination of office, surrounded, honesty, snacks, and crisps anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. The scene further reflects cost of living and how fruit and whole grains fit dietary guidance around fibre and micronutrients within the real-world context of the recorded location. Its period value extends to footfall and the role of independent businesses in maintaining active town centres within the specific setting of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG987K - Smoking fetishism (also known as capnolagnia) is a sexual fetish based on the pulmonary consumption (smoking) of tobacco, most often via cigarettes, cigars, and also, pipes and hookahs to some extent. As a fetish, its mechanisms regard sexual arousal from the observation or imagination of a person smoking, sometimes including oneself
Capnolagnia is not considered a disease but an unusual sexual practice, and many of the fetishists do not seek medical help unless this behavior strongly interferes with their daily lives. The majority of people simply learn to accept their fetish and manage to achieve gratification in an appropriate manner.[2]
A 2003 study found that the fetish was not previously the subject of academic study but had been mentioned in a few newspapers
Like any fetish, the causes and mechanisms of a smoking fetish vary widely, with roots of sexual association in early childhood and adolescence. Typical causes and hypotheses include:
aesthetics: mere attraction to, and gratification of, the visual aspect of smoke as it exits the mouth
childhood: experience or interaction with one or more attractive smoking individuals during childhood
impulsivity: perceived symbolism of an audacious or impulsivity personality, insinuating promiscuity
mannerism: masculine or feminine body language of smokers
media: early exposure to sexualized depictions of smokers, especially from advertising media, the film noir era, and pornography[4]
persuasion: perceived power of convincing or urging another individual to smoke
psychosexual development: phenomena in the oral and phallic stages of childhood development, based on Freudian theory
sadomasochism: pleasure from infliction of bodily harm caused by smoking, often called lung damage
self-confidence: perceived confidence or masculinity of the smoker, regarding taboo or wealth
taboo: perceived independence or rebellion regarding the act of smoking, amongst cultural adversity to sm

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RBJ9TA - Coney Island is a peninsular residential neighborhood, beach, and leisure/entertainment destination of Long Island on the Coney Island Channel, which is part of the Lower Bay in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. Coney Island was formerly the westernmost of the Outer Barrier islands on Long Island's southern shore, but in the early 20th century it became connected to the rest of Long Island by land fill. The residential portion of the peninsula is a community of 60,000 people in its western part, with Sea Gate to its west, Brighton Beach and Manhattan Beach to its east, the Lower Bay to the south, and Gravesend to the north.
Coney Island was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century, it became a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks were also built at the location. The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century, declining in popularity after World War II and following years of neglect. The area was revitalized with the opening of the MCU Park in 2001 and several amusement rides in the 2010s.

The locality and subject together evoke creative district, regional identity, local history, graffiti heritage, changing land use, before-and-after reference, urban graphics, place identity, public realm, public-realm art, contemporary mural, street creativity, community identity, and visual street culture. Today's relevance is strengthened by local identity, temporary works and the continuing question of how temporary street art becomes an important visual archive. The image fixes landscape treatment and surrounding development within the recorded location at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against redevelopment. The location also brings in historical comparison, creative placemaking, documentary photography, period detail, contemporary social history, changing streetscape, social history, and everyday life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AT9E7E - . This documentary view of Piazza Venezia, 00186 Roma RM, Italy in 2015 captures the subject within its actual surroundings, preserving a dated piece of visual history rather than an isolated object study. At the centre of the frame is Italian stamp, poste Italia used and franked stamp, Italia E0.01 A.Ciaburro. A broader reading of the scene brings in public realm, changing streetscape, community identity, adaptive reuse, changing land use, historic townscape, local character, historic commercial architecture, historical comparison, architectural character, cityscape history, regional identity, archival record, and architectural detailing. The subject remains useful for current coverage of redevelopment pressure and energy retrofit, not least because of the contrast between preservation and redevelopment. With the passage of time, the image retains the combination of built form, activity and local identity within Piazza Venezia, 00186 Roma RM, Italy. The setting also brings in before-and-after reference, period streetscape, local history, everyday life, historic frontage, period detail, conservation architecture, and traditional masonry. The combination of Italian, Italia, Ciaburro, stamp, and franked anchors the image to a recognisable activity, place or moment. A later view of Piazza Venezia, 00186 Roma RM, Italy may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. Another strand within the photograph is redevelopment pressure and reusing existing buildings rather than demolishing them in a form that can be compared with future views of Piazza Venezia, 00186 Roma RM, Italy. The image also provides a reference for historic townscape and reusing existing buildings rather than demolishing them within the real-world context of Piazza Venezia, 00186 Roma RM, Italy. The period view preserves details of everyday use as part of Piazza Venezia, 00186 Roma RM, Italy's history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AT9E7G - . Made at Italy in 2015, this photograph records a real place and subject in context, allowing later viewers to compare what has survived, changed, closed, moved or been replaced. At the centre of the frame is Italian stamp, poste Italia used and franked stamp, Italia E0.45 Roma R.morena. The setting also relates to everyday life, historic context, built heritage, conservation interest, historic commercial architecture, visual archive, contemporary social history, documentary photography, architectural character, local history, conservation architecture, architectural detailing, heritage landmark, and historic townscape. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject sits within continuing debate about historic townscape, embodied carbon and keeping older buildings useful without erasing their character. With the passage of time, the image captures evidence of how the subject fitted into ordinary life within the setting of Italy. A second layer of the scene includes historical comparison, public realm, regional identity, period detail, urban fabric, period building, cityscape history, and historic frontage. Elements such as poste, franked, Italia, Italian, and morena add documentary specificity and may become more useful when compared with later records. The surrounding context at Italy matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. The location additionally provides evidence of historic townscape and the role of distinctive architecture in local identity as part of the longer story of Italy. A further contemporary connection is maintenance costs and reusing existing buildings rather than demolishing them when considered against later change at Italy. The wider significance includes embodied carbon and the contrast between preservation and redevelopment without losing the local specificity of Italy. The scene captures a point of historical comparison for later comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED8PNW - The River, locally known as the Floozie in the Jacuzzi, is an artwork in Victoria Square, Birmingham, England.
An international design competition was held for a central water feature in the square, which was won by Dhruva Mistry. Construction commenced in 1992 and was completed in 1994, when the square was officially reopened by Diana, Princess of Wales.
Mistry's fountain is the largest sculptural piece in the square. Mistry's winning design for Victoria Square consists of four sets of works (named The River, Guardians, Youth and Object [Variations]), representing youth and eternity. The River features a 1.75-tonne[1] bronze statue of a woman, 2.8 metres (9 ft) tall, 2.5 m (8 ft) wide and 4 m (13 ft) long. The surrounding pool is paved with Wattscliff sandstone. Engraved in the rim of the upper pool by Bettina Furneé are the following words from the poem Burnt Norton by T. S. Eliot:
And the pool was filled with water of sunlight,
And the lotos rose, quietly, quietly,
The surface glittered out of heart of light,
And they were behind us, reflected in the pool.
Then a cloud passed, and the pool was empty.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DJ7B29 - Elaborately styled mannequin in a Harvey Nichols department store window in Knightsbridge, London, displaying luxury fashion clothing against a dramatic illuminated retail backdrop. The female-form mannequin has a white theatrical face, striking red lipstick, ornate decorative headwear and statement earrings, and is dressed in a patterned tailored jacket over a pale high-neck blouse with lace detailing, patterned trousers and a black studded handbag. Pink fabric at the wrist adds a bright accent, while green horizontal light trails and reflective glass create a futuristic visual-merchandising effect around the figure. The image illustrates high-end fashion presentation, designer retail, creative window dressing and the theatrical approach traditionally associated with luxury department stores. Harvey Nichols was founded in 1831 and its Knightsbridge flagship is one of London's best-known premium shopping landmarks, serving customers in an area associated with international fashion brands, affluent consumers and visitor spending. The retailer became the focus of major British business news in August 2026 when it entered administration and Mike Ashley's Frasers Group acquired the business through a pre-pack deal. The transaction included six UK stores, among them the Knightsbridge flagship, together with the online business, inventory and more than 1,000 employees. Frasers chief executive Michael Murray warned that significant restructuring would be needed, including a review and rationalisation of the store portfolio, organisational structure, operating model and costs, as the group sought to create a sustainable future for the historic retailer. This London shop-window scene can therefore illustrate both the glamour and creativity of luxury fashion retail and the commercial pressures facing traditional British department stores, including changing consumer behaviour, operating costs, online competition and weaker discretionary spending.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4GH1 - Flamenco, in its strictest sense, is a professionalized art-form based on the various folkloric music traditions of Southern Spain in the autonomous communities of Andalusia, Extremadura and Murcia. In a wider sense, it refers to these musical traditions and more modern musical styles which have themselves been deeply influenced by and become blurred with the development of flamenco over the past two centuries. It includes cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), baile (dance), jaleo (vocalizations), palmas (handclapping) and pitos (finger snapping).
The oldest record of flamenco dates to 1774 in the book Las Cartas Marruecas by José Cadalso. Flamenco has been influenced by and associated with the Romani people in Spain
however, its origin and style are uniquely Andalusian.
Although the Diccionario de la lengua española associates it especially with the Gypsy ethnicity, is more than perceptible the fusion of the different cultures that coincided in the Andalusia of the time. Of all the hypotheses about its origin, the most widespread thesis is that which exposes the Morisco origin, only that the cultural miscegenation that occurred then in Andalusia: Natives, Muslims, Gypsies, Castilians and Jews
propitiated its creation. In fact, it already existed in the region of Andalusia its germ long before the Gypsies arrived, also taking into account that there were gypsies in other regions of Spain and Europe, flamenco was only cultivated by those who were in Andalusia.
Flamenco has become popular all over the world and is taught in many non-Hispanic countries, especially the United States and Japan. In Japan, there are more flamenco academies than there are in Spain. On November 16, 2010, UNESCO declared flamenco one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

For picture buyers, the photograph can support editorial features about pubs and bars, hospitality, independent and managed venues, drinking culture, local heritage, city and town centres, leisure spending and the changing British high street. Details such as brewery branding, pub signage, entrances, windows, bar fittings, beer pumps or period architecture can provide useful visual evidence of how licensed premises present themselves to customers.

Search themes naturally include British pub heritage, real ale and beer culture, licensed premises, hospitality, public houses, local drinking traditions and the role of pubs within town and city life. Where brewery names, pumps, windows, pub signs or period fittings are present, they add useful detail for features on brewing history, hospitality branding and traditional licensed interiors or exteriors.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HRT9 - . An identifiable period record of Waterloo, Lambeth, London, England, UK, SE1 8SW in 2012, retaining practical detail and local context that distinguish documentary photography from a generic illustration. The main point of reference is Woman in a subway surrounded by graffiti, Waterloo, Lambeth, London. The wider scene also brings together contemporary mural, community identity, creative placemaking, changing land use, temporary artwork, public-realm art, everyday life, before-and-after reference, street creativity, local character, local history, social history, contemporary social history, and street-level design. The wider contemporary story combines local identity, public art and how temporary street art becomes an important visual archive. The archival value lies partly in recording lettering, decoration and surface detail around Waterloo, Lambeth, London, England, UK, SE1 8SW before closure or conversion alters the character of the place. The surrounding story also includes mural culture, historical comparison, period detail, visual street culture, place identity, urban graphics, archival record, and regional identity. The recorded references to Woman, subway, Waterloo, surrounded, and Lambeth preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. The wider setting at Waterloo, Lambeth, London, England, UK, SE1 8SW matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. Another useful connection is local identity and how regeneration can support and displace informal culture at the same time within the real-world context of Waterloo, Lambeth, London, England, UK, SE1 8SW. The scene further reflects temporary works and the role of murals in defining creative neighbourhoods within the specific setting of Waterloo, Lambeth, London, England, UK, SE1 8SW. Image D8HRT9 also remains a dated record of Waterloo, Lambeth, London, England, UK, SE1 8SW.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CFEFH8 - . Love Will Win - Inner City Manchester Graffiti New Wakefield street under railway arches, England, UK, M1. Photographed on 10 March 2012. The recorded location is New Wakefield street, Manchester, Lancashire, England, UK / Great Britain. From a heritage perspective, british agriculture has repeatedly adapted to mechanisation, changing markets and environmental policy
Tractors, fields, cereal crops and allotment vegetables each represent different scales of food production, while also documenting seasonal work and rural landscapes. Looking at the subject's development, art in public and historic settings adds another layer to the built environment
Sculpture, mosaic, painting and street art can interpret heritage, provoke debate, memorialise communities or create landmarks, and photographs preserve works that may later change or disappear. In the longer view, britain's railways reshaped towns, industry and passenger travel from the nineteenth century onwards, creating a dense network of stations, goods yards, signalling infrastructure and long-distance routes
Surviving buildings, signs and operating equipment now document both railway heritage and continuing public transport. As of 2026, current agricultural debate combines food production with environmental land management, biodiversity and climate adaptation
Photographs of crops and cultivation therefore have both traditional rural and contemporary sustainability relevance. For the 2026 context, public art and murals remain important to place-making, tourism and regeneration, particularly in city districts where street art has become part of the visitor economy
They also raise questions about conservation, ownership, temporary work and the rapid redevelopment of urban neighbourhoods. Useful alternative terminology includes farming, horticulture, grow your own, arable farming, vegetable growing, rural economy, farmland, sustainable agriculture, food security, seasonal crop, and artwork.

John Foxx And The Maths is a musical project featuring electronic music pioneers John Foxx and Benge. The duo were initially a studio based project working from Benge's studio in Shoreditch, London but have also engaged in live work. They specialise in the use of analogue synthesisers and drum machines and have released two albums, Interplay and The Shape of Things, both in 2011.
You will perhaps know John Foxx as a founder member of 1970's band Ultravox. In December 2009 the official John Foxx website Metamatic announced Foxx's new musical project. Benge had already broken the news on his own blog in November calling The Maths 'a new album project'.
An initial single Destination / September Town was released in December 2009 as download only from Townsend Records and later via i-tunes. The duo continued to work in Benge's studio in Shoreditch throughout 2010 and some new tracks were previewed at the Short Circuit electronic music festival held at The Roundhouse in London on 5 June 2010.
A new album entitled Interplay was announced in January 2011containing this track and released on March 21. The official website described the album as 'moody and atmospheric, but also full of songs that are actually more \u201dpop\u201d than avant garde, Interplay pulls various strands of electronic music together \u2013 from early electro to 70s Krautrock, even flashes of Cabaret Voltaire and Foxx\u2019s first band, Ultravox!'
The album gained much critical acclaim with The Quietus calling it 'one of the finest electronic records you will hear in 2011.
I had the pleasure of seeing them at the Manchester Academy in late 2011 - www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/6280475123/
Weddings are big business and many people looking to tie the knot visit wedding catwalk shows in hotels etc, deciding how they are going to spend the average of over \u00a312K on their event and honeymoon. As anyone who knows me I am not a big believer in the institution, but I had an interesting day photographing the catwalk show at the Holiday Inn Wilmslow, near Manchester Airport..

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HTKH - . An on-location photograph from Market Square, Sandbach, Cheshire, England, UK, CW11 1AT in 2012, showing the named subject as part of a wider social, commercial, cultural or physical setting rather than as an isolated object. The defining feature is Woman in red dress in front of Sandbach Crosses, Market Square, Sandbach, Cheshire, England, CW11 1AT. The image also relates to changing land use, white wedding tradition, formalwear display, social history, bridal fashion, archival record, wedding retail, place identity, wedding industry, local character, historical comparison, fashion merchandising, public realm, and period detail. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into sustainability and consumer spending, not least because of how sustainability is influencing occasionwear and clothing reuse. As a dated visual record of Market Square, Sandbach, Cheshire, England, UK, CW11 1AT, the frame retains materials and architectural details, making it especially useful if redevelopment subsequently changes the scene. A second descriptive layer includes marriage culture, fashion shop window, documentary photography, local history, community identity, ceremonial clothing, changing streetscape, and visual archive. Elements such as Crosses, front, Market, dress, and Woman add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. The period setting at Market Square, Sandbach, Cheshire, England, UK, CW11 1AT helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 6488842835 - 'Bauhaus - 'Terror Couple Kill Colonel' - Play this track here.
A band that I am convinced never had the recognician they deserved.
The group consisted of Peter Murphy (vocals), Daniel Ash (guitar), Kevin Haskins (drums) and David J (bass). The band was originally Bauhaus 1919 before they dropped the numerical portion within a year of formation. With their dark and gloomy sound and image, Bauhaus are generally considered the first gothic rock group.
Bauhaus first broke up in 1983. Peter Murphy began a solo career while the other members continued as Tones on Tail and, later, Love and Rockets. Both enjoyed greater commercial success in the United States than Bauhaus had, but disappeared from the charts in their homeland. The band reunited for a 1998 tour and on a more permanent basis in 2005. The group announced plans to disband again following the release of their final album, Go Away White, in 2008.
The band started on the 4AD label and moved quickly to Beggars Banquet, who was their parent. 'Kick in the Eye' was the debut release on the label.
Bauhaus combined a number of influences including punk music, glam rock, and Krautrock\u2014even funk and dub\u2014to create a gloomy and introspective sound which appealed to many fans left disillusioned by the New Wave that arose in the wake of punk's collapse.
Their sound proved influential, inspiring or bringing attention to a whole wave of post-punk groups delving into the intense, gloomy style that would eventually come to be known as gothic rock. Its crucial elements included Peter Murphy's deep and sonorous voice, Daniel Ash's innovative guitar playing and David J's dub-influenced bass.

I found this a very interesting book and this lady very interesting as she told me she worked in the local Job Centre.
In David Cameroons 'Big Society' we will need to get our heads around the 'Non-Cash Reward'. There certainly will be limited or zero funds to support services that used to cost money.
The policy certainly has its critics. Labour leader Ed Miliband in February 2011 said Mr Cameron was undermining his own Big Society concept through spending cuts.
Various charity figures have suggested that the scale of local authority cuts could kill off the idea before it gets going - by 'destroying' existing voluntary groups.
The Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu warned at one of his Sunday sermons, that investment in public services was needed if the Big Society was to succeed.
Norman Smith, BBC Radio4 had this comment:
The difficulty, it seems, he faces in getting his Big Society message over is that voters have rather more pressing matters on their mind.
After all, at a time of job losses, pay freezes, pension hikes and public service cuts - people may take the view that creating the Big Society is not very high on their list of priorities.
Somehow Mr Cameron has to convince voters it matters as much to them as it clearly does to him.
Merseyside television producer Phil Redmond has already attacked the 'big society' idea, saying it has been 'undermined by public spending cuts'.
The Brookside and Hollyoaks creator had originally been a fan of the concept, taking charge of a project involving volunteering and cultural activities in Liverpool.
He said: 'I do remain a strong supporter of the principle behind big society, because it wasn't too long ago that the media was full of stories about Big Brother, too much red tape, surveillance society, we need to get engaged with society and so on.
'It just came at the wrong moment.'
He said there was a need to make sure there was a separation between the big society plans and the cuts.

Photographed at Westminster, London, England, UK. The photograph was taken on 05 August 2011. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. Signage, lettering, logos, numbers or other visible information form an important part of the record, helping identify the subject and capture contemporary branding or public messaging. The scene is closely associated with Westminster, Tube, Station, London, people, boys, girls, woman, women and men, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The scene has strong relevance to railway travel, public transport, passenger infrastructure and the everyday operation of Britain's rail network. It can illustrate editorial stories about stations, train journeys, commuting, regional connectivity, rail investment, rolling stock, freight, signals, platforms, accessibility and the relationship between railways and the places they serve. Visible railway furniture, signs, tracks, platforms, trains, signals or station buildings help place the photograph firmly in the practical environment experienced by passengers and railway staff. As a dated documentary image it also offers a useful record of transport infrastructure, branding and passenger facilities at the time the photograph was made. Search themes include British rail travel, railway stations, passenger journeys, tracks, platforms, signals, rolling stock, freight, regional connectivity and transport infrastructure. The scene is particularly useful for illustrating how railway facilities, signs and operational surroundings looked at a known point in time. It can be used in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, documentaries, heritage projects and retrospective features where geographical accuracy and period detail matter.

With the demise of the CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau), the local library can be the place people turn for advice. This can be for legal matters, health issues or finance.
A well stocked library can help everyone access the information they need. Books may not do the job for you, thats down to the borrower of course.
It would be interesting to see if the person this lady was taking these books out for, benifitted from them 3 weeks later when they were returned/renewed.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K43PYW - Love Hearts are a type of confectionery manufactured by Swizzels Matlow in the United Kingdom. They are hard, tablet-shaped sweets in various fruit flavors featuring a short, love-related message on one side of the sweet. They are an updated version of Victorian-era Conversation Lozenges
On chewing, the sweet quickly disintegrates into a powdery, starchy consistency
Love Hearts currently come in six flavors, each associated with a color (listed from weakest to strongest flavor):..
White (a plain, sherbet-like, slightly tart vanilla flavor)
Yellow (a sherbet-like flavor with a distinct sharp lemon aftertaste)
Green (a slight lime flavor with a sherbet-like aftertaste)
Orange (a sweet flavor with a slight orange aftertaste)
Purple (an unusual, slightly perfumed berry-like flavor with a strong aftertaste)
Red (cherry flavor)
There are many different messages which can be found on the front of the sweet, most of which are love-related. The message is written in capitals in a sans serif font of varying size. The font is scaled and sometimes stretched out of proportion to fit the available space.
Most messages are written in simple horizontal, centrally aligned lines. There are some exceptions to this rule, including the phrase I Surrender, where the word surrender has been written in an arc around the lower inside edge of the heart outline.
The Just Say No message has an unclear layout, appearing to read Just say No.
Wayne and Coleen Rooney had personalized sweets made for their wedding in the summer of 2008 which read Wayne and Coleen. Special edition Love heart packs were launched for Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding in 2011

The traditional library was always a place you could find a good textbook. Today often the internet is touted as a replacement for good quality text books.
The Internet is very much like television in that it takes time away from other pursuits, provides entertainment and information, but in no way can compare with the warm, personal experience of reading a good book. This is not the only reason why the Internet will never replace books, for books provide the in-depth knowledge of a subject that sitting in front of a computer monitor cannot provide.
In an increasingly rushed and hurried world, the sound-bite is becoming the currency of knowledge rather than in-depth experience, only obtained by research, study, seeing and doing. The internet is being often used as an excuse to stock less textbooks in libraries.

Bumfluff soon followed and a recognition that girls in the year were going through changes too. You could see from the older years and the sixth form where that process would take them. Opaque tights, filled out hips. Maybe a taste of something to come, forbidden fruit or just something in later years to regret. Bored adults staying together for the sake of a child maybe.
Not something that crosses the mind at the back of the groundsmens hut in the old showers. Clumsy, flustered, rubbish really. A rite of passage all the same.

Valley Girl - 'Frank Zappa' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Wikipedia describes Valley Girl (or Val, Val Gal) 'as a stereotype leveled at a socio-economic and ethnic class of American women who can be described as colloquial English-speaking, materialistic, self-centered, hedonistic, and often sexually promiscuous. Valspeak is also a form of this trait, based on an exaggerated version of '80s California English'.
'Valley Girl' is a song by the musician Frank Zappa and his 14 year-old daughter, 'Moon Unit Zappa'. It was released on Zappa's 1982 album 'Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch'. Moon supplied Frank with much of the content speaking typical 'Valley girl' phrases. Zappa intended to lampoon the image, but the single also helped popularized the valley girl stereotype in the states.
Sadly no longer with us, over 30 years, Zappa wrote rock, jazz, electronic, orchestral, and musique concr\u00e8te works. He also directed feature-length films and music videos, and designed album covers. Zappa produced almost all of the more than 60 albums he released with the band Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist.
Zappa was married to Kathryn J. 'Kay' Sherman from 1960 to 1964. In 1967 he married Adelaide Gail Sloatman, with whom he remained until his death from prostate cancer in 1993. They had four children: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.
Zappa was very anti-censorship. In September 1985, Zappa testified before the United States Senate Commerce, Technology, and Transportation committee, attacking the Parents Music Resource Center or PMRC, a music organization, co-founded by Tipper Gore, former wife of then-senator Al Gore. PMRC consisted of many wives of politicians, including the wives of five members of the committee, and was founded to address the issue of song lyrics with sexual or satanic content.
He stated 'The establishment of a rating system, voluntary or otherwise, opens the door to an endless parade of moral quality control programs based on things certain Christians do not like. What if the next bunch of Washington wives demands a large yellow 'J' on all material written or performed by Jews, in order to save helpless children from exposure to concealed Zionist doctrine?'
Zappa's passion for American politics became a bigger part of his life. He had always encouraged his fans to register to vote on album covers, and throughout 1988 he had registration booths at his concerts. He even considered running for President of the United States. Now maybe that might have changed history, and saved a few lives.
Frank Zappa was truly a giant. Everyone must have at least one Zappa album, even if its the compilation, 'Strictly Commercial'. Give 'Sheik Yerbouti' and 'Joes Garage' a look too.
------------------------
In the Greater Los Angeles area, the term 'Valley Girl' apparently originated and still refers to girls from the San Fernando Valley. In context it is associated with a spoiled girl from an upper-middle class background who socializes with other 'valley girls' in cliques. In regions neighboring the San Fernando Valley, people will often call a girl a 'valley girl' or tell her to 'go back to the valley' if she is showing signs of materialism and/or idiotic behavior.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer parodied the valley girl, with the main character, Buffy Summers, often saving the males of the programme. Buffy's contemporaries Cordelia and Harmony more closely fit to the conventions of the Valley girl.
The nearest thing in the UK is the classic 'Essex Girl' stereotype. Someone please ask me and I will tell them the classic cucumber/Essex girl joke (Amber - step up to the plate dear!).
In Ireland apparently D4 denotes upper middle class females associated with shopping in Dundrum Town Centre, the upmarket shopping centre adjacent to Dundrum village. Ugg boots and fake tan features, so I am told.

?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Mansun were formed in Chester, England in 1995 by Draper and King. The band's foundations were cemented with the addition of Chad, who worked behind the bar at the Fat Cat pub in Chester and they began rehearsing at Crash Rehearsal Studios in Liverpool, where the band would be discovered by a passing A&
R man and offered a publishing contract.
The band were originally called 'Grey Lantern' but changed their name to 'Manson', after the cult leader Charles Manson but were forced to change it due to copyright issues. The band gave several false accounts of this at the time, one being that they were named after The Verve b-side 'A Man Called Sun', and that 'Manson' was simply a spelling mistake which accidentally went through to production. It was reported that Charles Manson had started spelling his name with a 'U', to which Draper joked that perhaps they should sue him.
Early EPs were followed by the critically acclaimed album Attack Of The Grey Lantern which appeared to contain a conceptual storyline - heavily debated by fans - whilst ending with a hidden track (An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter, previously featured on Three EP) proclaiming sarcastically 'The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much'. The band's debut LP knocked fellow Parlophone act Blur's 1997 self-titled album from the top spot of the British album chart. Radiohead are quoted as saying, at that year's Q Awards, that the album was 'a real musical achievement'. Draper stated that the lyrics from this era were written whilst when he was a kid and influenced by The Goon Show and Monty Python
------------------------
Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, first published in 1928. The first edition was printed in Florence, Italy
it could not be published openly in the United Kingdom until 1960. (A private edition was issued by Inky Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929).
The book soon became notorious for its story of the physical relationship between a working-class man and an aristocratic woman, its explicit descriptions of sex, and its use of (at the time) unprintable words.
The story is said to have originated from events in Lawrence's own unhappy domestic life, and he took inspiration for the settings of the book from Eastwood in Nottinghamshire where he grew up. According to some critics, the fling of Lady Ottoline Morrell with 'Tiger', a young stonemason who came to carve plinths for her garden statues, also influenced the story.
Lawrence at one time considered calling the novel Tenderness and made significant alterations to the text and story in the process of its composition. It has been published in three different versions.
The story concerns a young married woman, Constance (Lady Chatterley), whose upper-class husband, Clifford Chatterley, has been paralyzed and rendered impotent. Her sexual frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. This novel is about Constance's realization that she cannot live with the mind alone
she must also be alive physically.
Even by chapter three Connie's jerking and twitching runs through her body like restlessness...

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4760224848 - 'The history of smoking can be dated to as early as 5000 BC, and has been recorded in many different cultures across the world. Early smoking evolved in association with religious ceremonies
as offerings to deities, in cleansing rituals or to allow shamans and priests to alter their minds for purposes of divination or spiritual enlightenment.
After the European exploration and conquest of the Americas, the practice of smoking tobacco quickly spread to the rest of the world. In regions like India and Subsaharan Africa, it merged with existing practices of smoking (mostly of cannabis). In Europe, it introduced a new type of social activity and a form of drug intake which previously had been unknown.
Perception surrounding smoking has varied over time and from one place to another
holy and sinful, sophisticated and vulgar, a panacea and deadly health hazard. Only relatively recently, and primarily in industrialized Western countries, has smoking come to be viewed in a decidedly negative light.
Today medical studies have proven that smoking tobacco is among the leading causes of many diseases such as lung cancer, heart attacks, erectile dysfunction and can also lead to birth defects. The inherent health hazards of smoking have caused many countries to institute high taxes on tobacco products and anti-smoking campaigns are launched every year in an attempt to curb tobacco smoking.
Due to the smoking ban in pubs and other public places, many businesses are suffering. Only last week a news item suggested 'Expectant mothers to be given smoking breath tests: Health watchdog tells midwives to challenge all pregnant women' in the UK Daily Mail which stated:
'Last night midwives reacted with fury to the guidance - saying the tests could undermine trust by forcing them virtually to accuse new mothers of lying.
And critics rounded on NICE, which was set up by Labour to assess which drugs and treatments should be available on the NHS, accusing it straying beyond its remit by seeking to influence yet more aspects of people's lives.
Strange that the Daily Mail still managed to blame Labour for the advice although we have now had a collonic Government of Tories and Libdems for the last two months around here. Still if encouraging mothers to give up for the sake of the health of their offspring, can that be so bad. Nothing says they cannot spark up again if really desperate after giving birth, does it?

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4755790262 - 'The now arts centre, original guildhall and jail on St Peter\u2019s Hill in Grantham was commissioned in 1866 by Mayor Thomas Winter after criminal Jesse Dale, who was serving 15 years for stealing, twice walked out of the town\u2019s original jail in 1864.
This original Guildhall and jail building stood on the corner of Guildhall Street and High Street and dated from 1787. After Jesse\u2019s second escape, the governor at the time William Mayer was sacked and a government inspector condemned the building. The inmates had to be sent to Lincoln. The site of the demolished Guildhall was bought by the Stamford, Boston and Spalding Bank (later Barclays) and is now home to the Goose at the Bank pub. To set the scene, a visitor to beerinthe evening described it thus: 'Usually one cask beer available. This pub seems to attract the local mongs and low-life. Tracksuits are a must!'. 'Knobcakes the lot of them'!
Back to the story, on the current Guildhall site was an old school \u2013 The Firs \u2013 housed in a former town house. This and the adjoining land were bought for \u00a32,100. Lincoln architect William Watkins drew up the design for the new building and the work was carried out Mr Wartnaby, of Little Gonerby, for \u00a37,260.
The original Guildhall was made up of three separate buildings - the main building which housed a ballroom and courtroom (or session\u2019s hall), a governor\u2019s residence and a jail for up to 18 men and women on two floors.
However, although it seemed no expense had been spared on the building, officers from the South Lincolnshire Militia were less than happy to find it was missing a certain facility when they booked to use the hall \u2013 a toilet. At this point, councillors agreed one should be installed to avoid further embarrassment.
The new Guildhall was also home to the four-sided clock which was the first time many of the town\u2019s residents would have had the luxury of telling the time with any accuracy. It was this fact that coined the local phrase \u2018under the clock\u2019 meaning, \u2018to appear in court\u2019.
As late as 1930, publican Frank Milner of the Victoria Hotel, Commercial Road, was let off with a caution for serving out of hours because he set his time by the clock which was, and still is, a little slow.
In 1882 an area of the building was leased to cigar makers Robinson and Barnsdale and 15 years later, to the Grantham Technical Institute. Staff who work at the Guildhall today are convinced it is home to a cigar-smoking ghost as, on occasions, the strong smell of cigar smoke will appear in one or more rooms and then after a few minutes, disappear as quickly as it came.
In 1972, a dome replaced the original wrought ironwork over the clock tower and in 1974, the magistrates moved to the London Road, now home to Belvoir Property Management. In the same year, South Kesteven District Council was born and the Grantham Borough Council ceased to exist.
Apart from the Mayor\u2019s Parlour, much of the building was redundant until 1991 when it was redesigned by Sleaford architect Tim Benton and re-opened as the council owned Guildhall Arts Centre at a cost of \u00a31.2 million.
This renovation work saw the session\u2019s hall transformed into the 210-seat theatre and the ballroom was redecorated to its former glory, with the main entrance being at the side of the building. The jail area was converted into the box office.
In 2010 an exciting refurbishment, saw the box office move to the front of the building and the grand victorian entrance being used once more, a new coffee shop was housed in the jail where the kitchen area is still referred to as \u2018the back cell.\u2019.
As can be seen it is tastefully illuminated at night, easily seen when avoiding the Goose at the bank!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4746623937 - 'The Victorian Gothic Guildhall on St Peters Hill and is home to many arts events from Grantham dramatic society. this included in 2006 Blackadder and in 2007 the classic Fawlty Towers (reminds me of a certain local hotel).
Edith Smith Way is the name of the road beside the Guildhall Arts Centre, on 'St Peter's Hill'
it is named after England's first policewoman. Miss Mary Allen and Miss Ellen F. Harburn reported for duty on the 'beat' on November 27, 1914, during the First World War.
The government had always opposed the idea of police women but with large numbers of policemen joining the British Army, it was considered a good idea to have women volunteers to help run the service. Another reason that Dawson's proposal was accepted was that her members were willing to work without pay
In February 1915 Dawson and Allen renamed her organisation, the Women's Police Service (WPS). At first the WPS concentrated its work in the London area. Wearing a dark-blue uniform, the WPS were assigned responsibilities such as looking after the welfare of refugees.
Later that year, Allen was sent to sort out problems in Grantham and Hull. Both towns had army camps and local people were complaining about drunken behaviour and a growth in prostitution.
Mary Allen was a former suffragette and had been previously arrested outside the House of Commons and later went on to be the commandant of the UK's women's police force from the 1920s up to 1940. She helped to set up women's police forces in other countries, including Germany. Edith Smith became the first female with powers of arrest in August 1915.
I wont mention that other 'lady of Grantham' I am sure I will find an excuse to post on that subject shortly!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4568832928 - 'This is a cotton smock or undergarment for a small child. The smock-frock or smock is an outer garment traditionally worn by rural workers, popular in early victorian times.
By the mid-nineteenth century, wearing of traditional smock-frocks by country laborers was dying out. As the authentic tradition was fading away, a romantic nostalgia for England's rural past, as epitomized by the illustrations of Kate Greenaway, led to a fashion for women's and children's dresses and blouses loosely styled after smock-frocks. These garments are generally of very fine linen or cotton and feature delicate smocking embroidery done in cotton floss in contrasting colors
smocked garments with pastel-colored embroidery remain popular for babies and small children.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CEY8R9 - . Late night, last minute Christmas shopping ,at the PC online. Photographed on 21 December 2009. The recorded location is England, UK. In the longer view, seasonal photographs document the mixture of tradition, commerce and community activity surrounding Christmas
Domestic lights, cards, street attractions and anti-Christmas jokes all sit within a broader culture of winter celebration. Looking at the subject's development, shops and markets are a visible record of changing consumer life, from family businesses and specialist traders to chain stores, department stores and regenerated market halls
Fascias, signs and shopfronts can date a street scene as clearly as architecture or vehicles. The wider historical story is that panoramic and atmospheric views place individual landmarks within their wider setting
Light, season and weather affect how architecture and landscape are perceived, while distant development can provide clues to the changing form of a town or coastline. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that christmas remains a major retail and tourism period, while household energy costs, sustainable decorations and the pressure of seasonal spending often feature alongside more traditional festive themes. For the 2026 context, high streets continue to change rapidly as retailers respond to online competition, costs and changing footfall
Government support for community assets and town-centre renewal gives photographs of independent shops, markets and former businesses added relevance to stories about regeneration and community economies. In historical terms, christmas imagery ranges from religious observance to commercial decoration, seasonal entertainment and humour
Cards, shop displays, lights and novelty messages reveal how the festival has been represented in popular culture as well as how retail and public spaces respond to the winter season. Further editorial search language includes Xmas, festive season, and Christmas card.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0N9W - . Walker at Park lane Darlington Passenger Tunnel with luggage, Darlington Station, Darlington, Teeside England, UK. Photographed on 14 December 2009. The recorded location is Park lane Darlington Passenger Tunnel, Darlington Station, Darlington, Teeside England, UK. In the longer view, everyday walking scenes document how people actually move through towns: on foot, with children, pets or shopping, using routes that may be altered or removed during redevelopment
Such photographs can become useful evidence of public access and local geography. In historical terms, town and city centres are continually rewritten by new buildings, transport schemes and evolving commercial uses
Photographs preserve the everyday fabric between major landmarks, including underpasses, arcades, back streets and small businesses that may disappear during redevelopment. Looking at the subject's development, images of parents, children and couples combine personal emotion with wider social context
They can illustrate care, intergenerational relationships, childhood and companionship while also documenting the environment in which those interactions take place. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that walking and active travel are prominent in transport and public-health policy, with continuing attention to safe pedestrian routes, accessibility and connections between neighbourhoods
Older paths and tunnels can help illustrate both useful permeability and the design problems associated with underpasses. During 2026, urban regeneration in England continues to focus on town-centre renewal, housing, public realm and reuse of vacant commercial property
Earlier street scenes provide valuable before-and-after evidence of these changes and of the businesses or structures lost along the way. Associated keywords and synonyms include footpath, dog walking, pedestrian infrastructure, local route, urban walking, walking route, neighbourhood connection, and everyday mobility.

11/12 Rite of Committal
She was no stranger to death and she helped keep him sane between registering it and dealing with the mountain of documentation. In a strange way he felt the process had brought them closer.
To reach the day of the evening vigil in the church was a great relief. After the Rite of Committal they stood alone between the coffin and the altar. A cold chill September wind ran through the old stone building. In funereal mode, he could not keep his eyes off Mar\u00eda.
\u201cYou feel you want or need to stay here in England \u201c, she said.
\u201cYes\u201d. \u201cI am sorry\u201d
\u201cDon\u2019t be. I am in no rush to return to Espa\u00f1a, unless we go back together\u201d

It was the star tattoo on her arm that first caught his gaze, then the long blond hair. The station was quite empty for what was usually the busy evening rush hour from work.
'\u00bfte gusta?\u201d, she startled him after noticing him staring. \u201cDisculpe, excuse me\u201d he said in an embarrassed English accent. For someone usually very confident he could feel his face going red. It wasn\u2019t the warm breeze blowing through Cordoba station this time either.
He missed his train that evening. And the next, and the next....
He realised he had reached one of life\u2019s encrucijada\u2019s. It felt good.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYH1YH - . This scene at the recorded location in 2015 forms part of the visual history of the locality, documenting the named subject together with aspects of how the area looked and functioned at the time. The subject captured here is Crowd of people all with cameras,phones & tablets at an event. The surrounding context encompasses place identity, before-and-after reference, bricks-and-mortar retail, period detail, specialist shop, shopfront economy, social history, historical comparison, everyday life, community identity, regional identity, small business, customer footfall, and local enterprise. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with store closures, commercial rents and the resilience of specialist shops in an online retail economy. The image fixes materials and architectural details within the recorded location at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against replacement signage. The surrounding story also includes commercial frontage, high-street commerce, changing streetscape, town-centre trading, street-level business, public realm, local history, and changing land use. Details involving phones, Crowd, event, tablets, and cameras make the image more specific than a generic view and strengthen its local or historical value. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. The wider significance includes store closures and how shopfronts become short-lived records of changing businesses in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. Another strand within the photograph is footfall and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets within the real-world context of the recorded location. The setting also helps illustrate commercial rents and how commercial property costs affect small retailers within the specific setting of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTR45E - . Recorded at Saltaire village,Bradford,West Yorkshire,England, UK in 2022, the image fixes a recognisable subject and its environment at one point in time, giving later viewers a reliable basis for comparison. The frame specifically shows Salts Village bakery with awning down , 8 Victoria Rd, Saltaire, Shipley, Bradford, Yorkshire, England, UK, BD18 3LA. The broader subject matter reaches into before-and-after reference, bus infrastructure, consumer retail, social history, roadside transit, historical comparison, passenger transport, everyday life, commercial frontage, public realm, mixed-use town centre, customer footfall, destination shopping, and changing streetscape. Today's relevance is strengthened by town-centre regeneration, business rates and the continuing question of the rapid turnover of shopfronts and trading names. From a 2025-onward perspective, bus funding and local connectivity are closely linked to this subject, alongside how local bus services affect access to work, education and healthcare. For later comparison, the photograph preserves materials and architectural details at Saltaire village,Bradford,West Yorkshire,England, UK, details that may look very different after later reinterpretation. Other useful contextual ideas include street-side transport, surface public transport, street-level business, public transport stop, contemporary social history, place identity, public-transport wayfinding, and bus route infrastructure. Elements such as Victoria, Village, Shipley, Bradford, and Yorkshire add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. For Saltaire village,Bradford,West Yorkshire,England, UK, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. The period view preserves a point of historical comparison as a date-specific reference.
