Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EF6BER - Interior view of The Fish Hut, a traditional fish and chip shop on Liverpool Road in Manchester city centre, showing a customer at the counter, a member of staff serving food in takeaway boxes, heated display cabinets, menu boards and the practical stainless steel counter area of a working British chippy. The visible menu and shop sign link the photograph directly with everyday high street food, takeaway culture and the rising cost of a fish supper, with cod, haddock, chips, pies, sausages, sauces and meal deals forming part of the familiar language of British fish and chip shops. The Fish Hut is listed at 27 Liverpool Road, Manchester, M3 4NW, close to Castlefield, Deansgate and the Science and Industry Museum area, making it part of the food offer around one of Manchester's busiest visitor and nightlife districts. The image has strong editorial value for stories about fish and chips, casual dining, independent takeaways, food inflation, energy bills, hospitality pressures, staff costs, ingredient prices, city centre rents and the squeeze on food businesses and customers. Fish and chips remain one of Britain's most recognisable takeaway meals, but the scene can also illustrate how a simple fish supper has become a sharper cost of living symbol as prices rise across food, cooking oil, white fish, potatoes, packaging and utilities. The photograph shows a clean, modernised interior, with digital screens, a black menu wall, bright counter lighting and prepared food ready for service. The visible customers and staff add human context without making any individual the sole subject. The indoor setting means there is no visible weather, although the lighting and muted window view suggest a daytime or early evening city centre visit. This commercially useful stock image suits features on Manchester eating out, British takeaway culture, fish and chip shops, hospitality economics, consumer spending, inflation, local business survival and changing urban food habits.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EENG7T - A Holyrood Nurseries Warrington outdoor banner advertising childcare spaces available, photographed beside grass and a red brick nursery building in the Thelwall and Grappenhall area of Warrington, Cheshire. The green sign carries the Holyrood Nurseries and Thrive Childcare and Education branding, the website thrivechildcare.com and the local telephone number 01925 496955, with a smiling child pictured on the right-hand side. This image is commercially useful for editorial coverage of nursery provision, early years education, childcare vacancies, working parents, family finances and childcare affordability in England. Holyrood Warrington is listed by Thrive Childcare at 237 Thelwall New Road, Grappenhall, Warrington, WA4 2XT, making the photograph relevant to local childcare services in south Warrington and policy stories. The words Childcare Spaces Available connect directly with debates about nursery capacity, funded childcare hours, staff availability, parental work choices and the difficulty of finding places close to home. Government support can include Tax-Free Childcare, where eligible families can receive a top-up worth up to £2,000 a year per child, and Universal Credit childcare support, which can meet up to 85% of eligible costs. These schemes are often presented as help for working families, but the real impact depends on eligibility, provider charges, wraparound costs, opening hours and whether a nursery place is actually available. The photograph can illustrate Labour Government childcare policy, childcare portals, free or funded childcare codes, Tax-Free Childcare accounts, Universal Credit support, early years entitlements, nursery fees, cost of living pressure, parents returning to work and children's services. The low warm sunlight, grass foreground and suburban brick building give the image a clear local documentary feel, while the prominent banner makes it suitable for news, policy, education, business and family finance use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E93471 - Multiple marked Cheshire Police cars are parked outside Warrington Police Station on Arpley Street in Warrington town centre, creating a clear documentary image of local policing, emergency response resources and police fleet presence in Cheshire. The vehicles carry high visibility blue, yellow and red battenburg markings, roof light bars and Cheshire Police branding, making them suitable for editorial use around police response, neighbourhood policing, public safety, crime prevention, emergency services, law enforcement, town centre policing and police visibility. The setting is the operational Warrington police station at Arpley Street, WA1 1LQ, a building also associated with the Museum of Policing in Cheshire, which is housed within the working police station and includes exhibits in the original cell block. Cheshire Police confirms that the museum is situated within the working police station on Arpley Street, while the museum's own visitor information describes it as a working police station and headquarters of the Warrington Division of Cheshire Constabulary. This makes the image useful for both current policing and police heritage stories. It can support articles about Cheshire Constabulary, police budgets, emergency service fleets, response times, local crime, community safety, safer neighbourhood teams, police estate management, public sector buildings, force visibility and operational readiness. The row of modern patrol vehicles against the older brick police station building also provides a useful contrast between historic policing infrastructure and contemporary emergency service operations. The image has strong local news value for Warrington, Cheshire and North West England, especially where a generic but identifiable police station or police car image is needed without showing identifiable officers or members of the public. It can also illustrate wider debates about police resources, vehicle procurement, visible patrols, road policing, confidence.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E91EP6 - Scaffolding surrounds the former Grappenhall Rectory on Church Lane in Grappenhall, Warrington, as restoration work begins on a historic building that had stood derelict for many years. The stripped brickwork, empty window openings, exposed masonry and temporary scaffold frame give the scene strong editorial value for stories about heritage rescue, listed buildings, conservation, dereliction, planning, local history and the practical challenge of bringing neglected old properties back into use. Historic England lists Grappenhall Rectory as Grade II, describing it as a rectory of around 1830, originally stucco with a grey slate roof and Gothick architectural detailing, with later wings altered or added in 1855. The site sits in the historic village setting of Grappenhall, close to St Wilfrid's Church and the Bridgewater Canal, adding context for local heritage, conservation area character and the tension between decay and renewal in older Cheshire villages. The photograph is commercially useful for articles on building restoration, scaffolding, heritage-at-risk concerns, private renovation projects, listed building consent, adaptive reuse, construction skills, traditional materials, empty properties and the cost of saving historic houses. Local reports and parish updates have described long-running concern about the former Old Rectory and the welcome sight of progress after years of dereliction. The image can also illustrate wider themes around village identity, housing pressure, planning enforcement, community campaigns, conservation funding, old nursing home sites, and the way prominent neglected buildings affect public confidence in a place. As a documentary stock image, it records a transition point rather than a finished restoration, showing the messy but hopeful stage when a vulnerable historic structure has finally been secured, scaffolded and opened up for repair.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E9ANFM - MV Syntan is pictured moored on Beverley Beck in East Yorkshire, a restored historic working barge now preserved by the Beverley Barge Preservation Society. The colourful vessel, with black hull, green upperworks, red trim, ropes, fenders and flag, sits beside the waterway with residential streets and waterside railings in the background, creating a clear documentary image of local canal, river and industrial heritage. The society states that Syntan was formerly operated by Richard Hodgson's Tannery, carrying hides and tanning materials from Hull docks to Beverley Beck, before those materials continued by road to the tannery at Flemingate. Its own history page says the barge was built in 1949 for Richard Hodgson Tanners and formed part of a fleet of 16 barges based on Beverley Beck. The restored vessel now acts as a museum, heritage centre and community resource, helping tell the story of Beverley's working waterways, leather industry and links with the River Hull and Humber network. This image has strong editorial value for features on Beverley history, East Yorkshire tourism, inland waterway preservation, Humber barges, post-war cargo transport, volunteer heritage charities, boat restoration, industrial archaeology, local museums and community-led conservation. It can also illustrate the decline of traditional working waterways, the survival of specialist craft, the former importance of tanneries to Beverley, and the way modest town waterways have been repurposed for heritage, leisure and local identity. The bright daylight, moored barge, calm water and everyday street setting make the photograph useful for travel guides, history articles, museum listings, Heritage Open Days coverage, educational publishing and stock features about preserved working boats. Syntan is more than a decorative canal boat: it is a tangible reminder of the practical cargo movements that once connected Hull docks, Beverley Beck, local factories and wider Yorkshire trade.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EBGJM7 - Historic Beverley Beck scene at Crane Hill Wharf, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, showing a preserved waterside crane beside the canalised beck and a Beverley Barge Preservation Society vessel moored along the water. The photograph captures an important piece of local industrial and inland waterway heritage, with the red and green society barge, cobbled quayside, metal railings, interpretation panel, old loading crane and modern waterside housing all visible in one documentary view. Beverley Beck was historically the navigable water link between the market town of Beverley and the River Hull, supporting trade, cargo movement, warehousing and local industry before road transport took over much of the work. The Beverley Barge Preservation Society is based at Cranehill Wharf and is dedicated to preserving historic river boats, with public-facing heritage activity centred on vessels including Syntan and other restored craft. The image is strong for editorial use around canal history, Yorkshire waterways, transport heritage, industrial archaeology, volunteer preservation, community heritage, historic wharves, restored barges, tourism, walking routes, Heritage Open Days and the changing use of former working waterfronts. The crane gives the scene a clear industrial focus, recalling the loading and unloading of goods from barges, while the preserved boat links the view to living heritage and hands-on restoration rather than static museum display. The setting also works for features about Beverley as a historic East Yorkshire town, local identity, public realm improvements, waterfront regeneration and the balance between new residential development and surviving traces of working canal infrastructure. The overcast sky, winter trees and quiet quayside create a calm observational mood, useful for documentary stock photography illustrating how modest inland waterways still carry local memory,civic pride and visitor interest. It is a distinctive image of a small but meaning

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EF6C55 - A panoramic dusk view across Oban Harbour in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, with fishing boats, trawlers, masts, rigging and harbour gear silhouetted against a deepening blue evening sky and a warm orange sunset on the western horizon. The photograph captures the working maritime character of Oban, a busy west coast harbour town known as the Gateway to the Isles, where fishing vessels, ferries, leisure craft and commercial traffic share the sheltered waters of Oban Bay. The image shows a calm harbour scene at twilight, with still reflections on the water, stacked quayside equipment, blue-painted boat frames and the layered outlines of boats moored close together. Oban Bay is sheltered by the island of Kerrera and sits close to open sea routes serving the Inner and Outer Hebrides, giving the harbour long-standing importance for island transport, seafood, tourism and coastal trade. The dusk light gives the scene a strong travel and editorial feel, useful for themes around Scottish harbours, coastal communities, fishing industry, seafood supply chains, island lifeline services, marine infrastructure, working ports, west coast tourism, climate and weather, and traditional seafaring landscapes. The mixture of practical fishing gear and colourful sunset makes the image suitable for articles about maritime Scotland, harbour regeneration, rural economies, ferry towns, commercial fishing, small boat fleets and the continuing relationship between coastal settlements and the sea. The weather appears calm and dry, with clear visibility and a cool evening atmosphere after sunset, while the vivid sky adds a strong sense of place and seasonally neutral appeal. This is a documentary-style photograph of a real working harbour rather than a purely scenic marina view, showing Oban as both a visitor destination and an active port serving Argyll, the Hebrides and Scotland's Atlantic coastline.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T3EFRX - This plain-speaking location image records British Gas Maintenance diesel service Van - Keeping bathtime flowing, in Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK, WA4 2LN. The row metadata places the subject at 29 Knutsford Rd, Grappenhall, Warrington ,WA4 2LN. The spreadsheet date indicates 18 October 2023, so the picture can also work as a time-specific archive record. Plainly, the image is useful because it shows Warrington, Knutsford Road, logo, Keeping bathtime flowing, maintenance, heating, plumbing, central heating, with search-relevant terms including Warrington, Knutsford Road, logo, Keeping bathtime flowing, maintenance, heating, plumbing, central heating, diesel, callout, Cheshire, England, UK, WA4 2LN. The value lies in the combination of place, object, wording and context, giving editors something specific and grounded rather than generic filler imagery. Warrington sits between Liverpool and Manchester and is often used as a practical example of a North West town balancing commuter growth, older industrial roots, retail change, new development, road traffic, local services and community identity. It is suited to health, household and public-service coverage, linking personal need with wider systems such as the NHS, prescriptions, energy efficiency, heating costs, fuel poverty, domestic comfort and the policy pressures faced by ordinary households. Because it is grounded in a named location and practical subject matter, it is useful for search-led editorial use, regional storytelling, business-to-business presentations, policy briefings and stock-photo buyers wanting evidence from the real world. Historically and socially, this kind of image can help connect past and present: older streets, civic institutions, transport systems, shops, signs, political messages or public services are not frozen museum pieces, but part of how people understand modern life, local.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T19PFD - Ask for Angela
The Met and the Mayor of London have joined together with Safer Sounds, part of the Safer Business Network, and licensed venues across the capital to help keep people safe while enjoying a night out.
The safety initiative Ask for Angela' is being rolled out to bars, clubs and other licensed businesses across London and other cities. People who feel unsafe, vulnerable or threatened can discreetly seek help by approaching venue staff and asking them for Angela'. This code-phrase will indicate to staff that they require help with their situation and a trained member of staff will then look to support and assist them. This might be through reuniting them with a friend, seeing them to a taxi, or by calling venue security and/or the police.
Venues that support Ask for Angela' have been given Welfare And Vulnerability Engagement (WAVE) training. Delivered by the Met's licensing officers and Safer Sounds, it gives staff the ability to help customers who may be in a situation that makes them vulnerable or unsafe.
Ask for Angela' was originally developed by Lincolnshire County Council and adopted by the Met in 2016 as a localised initiative by its police licensing officers. The introduction of WAVE training in 2017 underpinned the delivery of Ask for Angela and more venues began to take on the initiative.
Organisations can receive WAVE training through the Safer Sounds Partnership or via their local licensing team. The training explores what vulnerability is, how to identify it and appropriate interventions. A range of online assets and webinars are available.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R9J0E4 - The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is a registered trade union[2] in the United Kingdom for those in the profession of nursing. It was founded in 1916, receiving its royal charter in 1928. Queen Elizabeth II was the patron until her death in 2022. The majority of members are registered nurses
however student nurses and healthcare assistants are also members. There is also a category of membership, at a reduced cost, for retired people.
The RCN describes its mission as representing nurses and nursing, promoting excellence in practice and shaping health policies. It has a network of stewards, safety representatives and union learning representatives as well as advice services for members. Services include a main library in London, and regional libraries. The RCN Institute provides courses for nurses.
History
The College of Nursing Ltd was founded on 27 March 1916, with 34 members, as a professional organisation for trained nurses
In 2018, after a pay agreement was not clearly explained to the membership, the Chief Executive and General Secretary Janet Davies resigned and Dame Donna Kinnair was appointed in an acting capacity. She was confirmed in the role in April 2019. A motion of no confidence in the RCN Council was called shortly afterwards and passed in September 2018 with 78% of votes, but on a turnout when only 3.7% of the membership voted. As well as the Chief Executive and General Secretary, the Director of Member Relations had previously resigned. Twelve of the 17 council members resigned, 10 of them standing for re-election in the subsequent election.
In 2019, the RCN's first strike limited to Northern Ireland, over staffing and pay issuestook place
In 2022, the RCN held a strike ballot over pay, held separately across NHS trusts and boards. Its members went on strike as part of the 20222023 National Health Service strikes. The RCN commented that from 2010 (the start of the government's austerity programme) to 2022, pay for nurses had fallen by 20%

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T0DAER - Rochdale Town Hall is a Victorian-era municipal building in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. It is widely recognised as being one of the finest municipal buildings in the country, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
The Town Hall functions as the ceremonial headquarters of Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council and houses local government departments, including the borough's civil registration office.
Built in the Gothic Revival style at a cost of £160,000 (£15.9 million in 2023), it was inaugurated for the governance of the Municipal Borough of Rochdale on 27 September 1871.
The architect, William Henry Crossland, was the winner of a competition held in 1864 to design a new Town Hall. It had a 240-foot (73 m) clock tower topped by a wooden spire with a gilded statue of Saint George and the Dragon, both of which were destroyed by fire on 10 April 1883, leaving the building without a spire for four years.
A new 190-foot (58 m) stone clock tower and spire in the style of Manchester Town Hall was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, and erected in 1887.
Architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner described the building as possessing a rare picturesque beauty. Its stained-glass windows are credited as the finest modern examples of their kind.
The building came to the attention of Adolf Hitler, who was said to have admired it so much that he wished to ship the building, brick-by-brick, to Nazi Germany had the United Kingdom been defeated in the Second World War
The Town Hall was one of several built in the textile towns of North West England following the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, but is one of only two in Greater Manchester built in the Gothic style. Between the setting of the foundation stone and the building's completion, revisions and additions were made to the original design. Money was lavished upon the decor and inventory, and the extra expenditure did not escape the ire of its critic

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG1W53 - 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 2PFAAP8 - In electrical safety testing, portable appliance testing (PAT, PAT inspection or PAT testing) is a process in the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia by which electrical appliances are routinely checked for safety. The formal term for the process is in-service inspection & testing of electrical equipment. Testing involves a visual inspection of the equipment and any flexible cables for good condition, and also where required, verification of earthing (grounding) continuity, and a test of the soundness of insulation between the current carrying parts, and any exposed metal that may be touched. The formal limits for pass/fail of these electrical tests vary somewhat depending on the category of equipment being tested.
British law (the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989) requires that all electrical systems (including electrical appliances) are maintained (so far it is reasonably and practicable) to prevent danger. Private houses are not covered by this legislation, although occupiers' liability requires householders not to deliberately expose occupants or visitors to unreasonable risks. The HSE and the local authority are responsible for the policing of this legislation.
Fixed wiring in buildings
Guidance from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET, published under the IEE brand) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommends that a competent person must inspect the installation regularly in any public building or a place that people work. They suggest initial intervals for combined inspection and testing that range from three months (for construction equipment) to one year, and in many cases, longer periods for re-testing (certain types of appliance in schools, hotels, offices and shops)
Carrying out PAT
This can be done by hiring an external company to test all the electrical products in a business (someone who has had some PAT training, either by an official qualification or by attending a health and safety course

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P6JK3E - Asbestos is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral. There are six types, all of which are composed of long and thin fibrous crystals, each fibre being composed of many microscopic fibrils that can be released into the atmosphere by abrasion and other processes. Inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to various dangerous lung conditions, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, so it is now notorious as a serious health and safety hazard.
Archaeological studies have found evidence of asbestos being used as far back as the Stone Age to strengthen ceramic pots, but large-scale mining began at the end of the 19th century when manufacturers and builders began using asbestos for its desirable physical properties. Asbestos is an excellent electrical insulator and is highly fire-resistant, so for much of the 20th century it was very commonly used across the world as a building material, until its adverse effects on human health were more widely acknowledged in the 1970s. Many modern buildings constructed before the 1980s are thought to contain asbestos.
The use of asbestos for construction and fireproofing has been made illegal in many countries. Despite this, at least 100,000 people are thought to die each year from diseases related to asbestos exposure. In part, this is because many older buildings still contain asbestos
in addition, the consequences of exposure can take decades to arise. The most common diseases associated with chronic asbestos exposure are asbestosis (scarring of the lungs due to asbestos inhalation) and mesothelioma (a type of cancer)

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD24MW - Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. The town is on the Yorkshire Coast at the mouth of the River Esk. It has a maritime, mineral and tourist economy. The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship and, coincidentally, where his first vessel to explore the southern ocean, HMS Endeavour was built. Jet and alum were mined locally, and Whitby jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.
Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by the proximity of the high ground of the North York Moors national park and the heritage coastline and by association with the horror novel Dracula. The abbey ruin at the top of the East Cliff is the town's oldest and most prominent landmark. Other significant features include the swing bridge, which crosses the River Esk and the harbour, which is sheltered by the grade II listed East and West piers. The town's maritime heritage is commemorated by statues of the explorer Captain Cook and the whaler and scientist William Scoresby, as well as the whalebone arch that sits at the top of the West Cliff. The town also has a strong literary tradition and has featured in literary works, television and cinema, most famously in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.
While Whitby's cultural and historical heritage contribute to the local economy, the town does suffer from the economic constraints of its remote location, ongoing changes in the fishing industry, relatively underdeveloped transport infrastructure, and limitations on available land and property. As a result, tourism and some forms of fishing remain the mainstay of its economy. It is the closest port to a proposed wind farm development in the North Sea, 47 miles (76 km) from York and 22 miles (35 km) from Middlesbrough. There are transport links to the rest of North Yorkshire and North East England

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3082P - Crossley Brothers was set up in 1867 by brothers Francis (183997) and William J.(18441911). Francis, with help from his uncle, bought the engineering business of John M Dunlop at Great Marlborough Street in Manchester city centre, including manufacturing pumps, presses, and small steam engines.
In 1869 they had the foresight to acquire the UK and world (except German) rights to the patents of Otto and Langden of Cologne for the new gas fueled atmospheric internal combustion engine and in 1876 these rights were extended to the famous Otto four-stroke cycle engine. The changeover to four stroke engines was remarkably rapid with the last atmospheric engines being made in 1877.
The business flourished. In 1881, Crossley Brothers became a private limited company (i.e. Crossley Brothers Ltd.), and then in 1882 it moved to larger premises in Pottery Lane, Openshaw, in eastern Manchester.
Crossley Brothers built diesel engines for stationary, marine and locomotive use. There was a wide range of engines from six to 3200 horsepower (Crossley) and up to 9000 horsepower (Crossley-Pielstick).
Their marine engines had a reputation for durability and reliability.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTF4CE - History
We formed in 2012 with the original aim of transforming an area of wasteland behind Shipley Fire Station into a community food garden. Unfortunately due to due constraints over securing a lease for this site from Bradford Council, we are no longer able to pursue this project.
In 2015 we began working with Sustainable Saltaire to look after the Sunday School Garden in Caroline Street car park. In 2016 we developed two new edible growing sites: Plot at Platform 1 at Saltaire Station and the Japanese Edible Garden on Exhibition Road, supported by Shipley College. We also work with Saltaire Village Society to help look after the raised beds in the Wash House Garden on Caroline Street (edge of Edward Street and Amelia Street).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K11P0H - Manchester public art: Robert Owen on corner of Balloon Street and Corporation Street
The statue of Robert Owen, which is located on the corner of Balloon Street and Corporation Street, is a copy of a sculpture deigned by Gilbert Bayes
Robert Owen was a Welsh reformer who moved to Manchester as a teenager.
He became heavily involved in the cotton industry and, with the help of several Manchester businessmen, went on to buy a large textile factory near Glasgow.
Here he put into practice values of sound working conditions, introduced a minimum age and provided nurseries and schools.
He also opened stores where workers could buy good quality goods at little more than the wholesale cost.
These principles became the basis for the cooperative shops in Britain.
His statue, on corner of Balloon Street and Corporation Street, is a copy of the one erected in Owen's birthplace of Newtown.
It was commissioned by the Co-operative Bank as part of the 150th anniversary of the modern co-operative movement and was unveiled in 1994.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K148X3 - Avanti West Coast is a train operating company in the United Kingdom owned by FirstGroup (70%) and Trenitalia (30%) that operates the West Coast Partnership.
During November 2016, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced the InterCity West Coast franchise would be replaced by the West Coast Partnership (WCP). In August 2019, the DfT awarded the WCP franchise to the First Trenitalia consortium. On 8 December 2019, Avanti West Coast took over operations from the prior operating company Virgin Trains, which had run the franchise since 1997. Originally, the franchise was initially scheduled to run until March 2030, and had also been set to operate the initial High Speed 2 services from 2026. However, during December 2020, it was announced that First Trenitalia and the DfT had agreed to terminate the WCP franchise at the earlier date of 31 March 2026 as part of the abolition of the franchise system. Since then a number of contract changes have taken place due to COVID-19 and then poor performance by the company. As of March 2023, the company's contract will expire in October 2023.
Between 14 August and 18 September 2022, Avanti West Coast reduced its timetable, citing unofficial strike action from its employees. However, this allegation was disputed by Aslef, which accused the company of lying and blamed their lack of recruitment, especially of train drivers, for the problems. Trains were running at one service per hour on the majority of routes, as opposed to the three which would typically occur on the London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly route. Following these changes, Avanti West Coast was subject to public criticism
news stories emerged of numerous train cancellations, overcrowded services, delays, and expensive fares. Many commuters faced difficulties reaching their destinations on the reduced services and some travellers have been left to wait for to two days before travel for tickets to be released for sale

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M1MCM3 - Regent's Canal is a canal across an area just north of central London, England. It provides a link from the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal, 550 yards (500 m) north-west of Paddington Basin in the west, to the Limehouse Basin and the River Thames in east London. The canal is 8.6 miles (13.8 km) long
First proposed by Thomas Homer in 1802 as a link from the Paddington arm of the then Grand Junction Canal (opened in 1801) with the River Thames at Limehouse, the Regent's Canal was built during the early 19th century after an Act of Parliament was passed in 1812. Noted architect and town planner John Nash was a director of the company
in 1811 he had produced a masterplan for George IV, then Prince Regent, to redevelop a large area of central north London as a result, the Regent's Canal was included in the scheme, running for part of its distance along the northern edge of Regent's Park.
As with many Nash projects, the detailed design was passed to one of his assistants, in this case James Morgan, who was appointed chief engineer of the canal company. Work began on 14 October 1812. The first section from Paddington to Camden Town opened in 1816 and included a 251-metre (274 yd) long tunnel under Maida Hill east of an area now known as 'Little Venice', and a much shorter tunnel, just 48 metres (52 yd) long, under Lisson Grove. The Camden to Limehouse section, including the 886-metre (969 yd) long Islington Tunnel and the Regent's Canal Dock (used to transfer cargo from seafaring vessels to canal barges today known as Limehouse Basin), opened four years later on 1 August 1820. Various intermediate basins were also constructed (e.g.: Cumberland Basin to the east of Regent's Park, Battlebridge Basin (close to King's Cross, London) and City Road Basin). Many other basins such as Wenlock Basin, Kingsland Basin, St. Pancras Stone and Coal Basin, and one in front of the Great Northern Railway's Granary were also built, and some of these survive.

After his National Service, once demobilised, he returned to steeplejacking but met with limited success until he was asked to repair Bolton's parish church. The resulting publicity provided a boost to his business, ensuring he was almost never out of work
In 1978, while making repairs to Bolton Town Hall, Dibnah was filmed by a regional BBC news crew. The BBC then commissioned a documentary, which followed the rough-hewn steeplejack as he worked on chimneys, interacted with his family and talked about his favourite hobby - steam
The massive statue of steeplejack Fred Dibnah has been crafted by a Shropshire, Shrewsbury artist to stand in the centre of the star's home town of Bolton.Jane Robbins won the 2008 commission for the statue. Its set in bronze and shows Fred holding a lightning conductor on one of his trademark chimneys
Jane, who lives in Church Stretton and works out of a studio in Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, has finished crafting an 8ft tall clay statue of Fred.

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

The letters B.C.C.L. on the hull suggest a connection with the Bridgewater Canal Company, making the image useful for editorial themes around canal maintenance, working waterways, inland navigation, local transport heritage and the practical upkeep of historic canals. The Bridgewater Canal is one of Britain's most important early industrial waterways, historically associated with the Duke of Bridgewater and the movement of coal and goods into Manchester, and today it remains a popular route for boating, walking, cycling, angling and leisure. Official canal information describes the Bridgewater Canal as a 39-mile historic canal stretching from Runcorn to Leigh in North West England, constructed more than 250 years ago. The image therefore works well for stories about Cheshire waterways, canal history, industrial archaeology, local heritage, British narrowboats, working boats, canal licensing, towpath life and winter walks in Lymm. It can also illustrate issues such as maintaining ageing canal infrastructure, protecting waterway biodiversity, conserving historic navigation routes and supporting outdoor recreation in local communities. The visible still water, bare branches and subdued light indicate a cold late autumn or winter day, with no rain visible and no strong sunshine. The reflection gives the boat added visual impact, while the quiet setting contrasts with the canal's original industrial purpose. This is a commercially useful image for travel, heritage, transport, lifestyle, environmental and local history subjects connected with Lymm, Warrington, Cheshire and the wider Bridgewater Canal corridor.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy TRN0YM - Ex-trawlerman Rab Youngman felt a once-proud fishing port like Aberdeen deserved a permanent shrine to its seafaring souls.
So, after campaigning for many years, the 72-year-old Shetlander, who went to sea at 15, was delighted to see the Aberdeen Fishing Memorial being unveiled yesterday.
Two bronze figures a fisherman hauling a net brimful of fish and a woman carrying a laden basket now look down on the city's harbour.
For Rab, it's recognition that's disgracefully long overdue to the brave men and women who made such a huge contribution to life and prosperity on Scotland's shores.

He said: There's a generation in Aberdeen who don't even know what a trawler looks like. Aberdeen didn't bother to save one for posterity.
For every man at sea, he employed seven ashore net menders, ice factory workers, fishmarket porters, lorry drivers, welders, platers, engineers you name it.
And women were very important. The wives supported the trawlermen in so far as the father was never there, he was always at sea.
They were amazing lassies. You'd see them during the day in the harbourside fish-houses. Then at night we'd go up town to the dance halls and you wouldn't recognise them.
Often you'd find a trawlerman married to a fishwoman, as I am myself. My wife Wilma was a fish filleter for 40 years on and off in Aberdeen and Peterhead.

Rab, who retired in Boddam, near Peterhead, launched an online petition for a memorial.
It was backed by Labour MSP Lewis Macdonald. George Adam, the city's lord provost at the time, also took up the fight and support soon came from the city council.
Funding was provided from the city's Common Good Fund and there was backing from the Fishermen's Mission.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK5MD - iconic Warrington Golden Gates removed as £500k restoration begins
The Grade II listed structure is to be returned to its former glory
A project to preserve Warrington's iconic Golden Gates which could cost more than £500,000 has started.
The restoration scheme will see the Grade II* listed structure restored to its former glory.
It is believed the gates were originally intended as a gift for Queen Victoria before being purchased for the town by councillor Frederick Monks.
The previous refurbishment was carried out in 1978-79.
However, the council says the 'urban location' and proximity to a 'marine climate' have resulted in the gates showing signs of deterioration.
Having identified the need for repairs, the authority began work with international engineering, design and consultancy company, Ramboll, to identify the right conservators to carry out the specialist work.
Following a tender process, the council selected Hall Conservation one of the UK's leading conservation firms as the contractor.
Workers are currently at the site as the project to repair, enhance and preserve the gates gathers pace.
Once the dismantling process is completed, they will be transported to Hall Conservation's workshop, where they will be fully inspected, in conjunction with Ramboll, and repaired and repainted before they return to Warrington.
It is planned that they will be reconstructed on site early next year.
Cllr Dan Price, executive board member for culture and partnerships, said: The Golden Gates are an iconic symbol of Warrington.
They are truly unique, with none others like them in the world.
It's vital that we protect this key part of our cultural heritage - and that's why this work is so important.
We are taking a conservation-based approach to ensure that the proposed work complies with national and local planning policy, as well as nationally recognised conservation guidance.

He was voted the fourth best guitarist of the last 30 years in a poll conducted by the BBC in 2010. Phil Alexander, Editor-in-Chief of Mojo, has described Marr as arguably Britain's last great guitar stylist

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R5PP7K - This image shows an artist working outdoors in St Peter's Square in Manchester, painting on an easel with Manchester Central Library visible in the background. Captured during summer, the scene reflects the use of public space for creative activity within the heart of the city.
St Peter's Square is one of Manchester's principal civic spaces, surrounded by landmark buildings including the circular, neoclassical Manchester Central Library. The square is frequently used by pedestrians, artists, performers, and visitors, functioning as a focal point for everyday urban life as well as cultural expression.
Plein air painting in city centres has become increasingly visible in recent years, with artists choosing to work directly from observation rather than from photographs or studios. Scenes such as this highlight the interaction between architecture, public space, and creative practice.
Photographed in natural summer light, the image documents contemporary urban culture in Manchester and is well suited for editorial use covering arts and creativity, city life, public spaces, tourism, and the lived experience of historic civic environments.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDY30A - In the United States and Canada, timber-frame construction has been revived since the 1970s and is now experiencing a thriving renaissance of the ancient skills. This is largely due to such practitioners as Steve Chappell, Jack Sobon, and Tedd Benson, who studied old plans and techniques and revived a long-neglected technique. Once a handcrafted skill passed down, timber-frame construction has now been modernized with the help of modern industrial tools such as the CNC machines. These machines and mass-production techniques have assisted growth and made for more affordable frames and shorter lead-times for projects.
Timber-framed structures differ from conventional wood-framed buildings in several ways. Timber framing uses fewer, larger wooden members, commonly timbers in the range of 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12), while common wood framing uses many more timbers with dimensions usually in the 5 to 25 cm (2 to 10) range. The methods of fastening the frame members also differ. In conventional framing, the members are joined using nails or other mechanical fasteners, whereas timber framing uses the traditional mortice and tenon or more complex joints that are usually fastened using only wooden pegs.[13] Modern complex structures and timber trusses often incorporate steel joinery such as gusset plates, for both structural and architectural purposes.
Recently, it has become common practice to enclose the timber structure entirely in manufactured panels such as SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels). Although the timbers can only be seen from inside the building when so enclosed, construction is less complex and insulation is greater than in traditional timber building.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DE54XK - The Working Men's Club and Institute Union (CIU or C&IU) is a voluntary association of private members' clubs in Great Britain & Northern Ireland, with about 1,800 associate clubs. One club in the Republic of Ireland, the City of Dublin Working Men's Club is also affiliated. Most social clubs are affiliated to the CIU.
They do not have to be working men's clubs, although most are. There are many village clubs, Royal British Legions, Labour Clubs, Liberal Clubs, and various other clubs involved. A member of one CIU-affiliated club is entitled to use the facilities of all other CIU clubs, although they will only be entitled to vote in committee elections in clubs where they are full members.
The CIU has two main purposes: to provide a voice at national level for working men's clubs and social clubs, and to provide discounted products and services for its members.
Until 2004, the CIU had its own beer brewed by the Federation brewery in Dunston, Tyne and Wear. Although CIU-affiliated clubs do still receive discounted beer, these discounts are largely passed on to the members, and Federation beer will generally be cheaper than beer available in local pubs. The brewery was taken over by Scottish & Newcastle in 2004 and now brews Newcastle Brown Ale.
Together with other club organisations such as the Royal British Legion, the Association of Conservative Clubs, the National Union of Liberal Clubs and the National Union of Labour and Socialist Clubs, the CIU is part of CORCA (Confederation of Registered Club Associations) which lobbies Parliament on behalf of clubs. This group was active in the debate about smoking: as most clubs are known for working men who like to drink and smoke (in many cases without any women in the bar), there is some concern about the future prospects of clubs.
The CIU holds a national congress every year and as part of its activities runs convalescent homes. In many ways, it could be said to be the oldest surviving friendly society

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DANJMR - Passenger help point at Slateford ScotRail railway station near Edinburgh, Scotland, photographed beside a white picket fence and leafy platform boundary in bright daylight. The image shows a yellow circular Help Point sign, a red and white assistance symbol, an orange and grey intercom unit, speaker grille and push button, with clear wording telling passengers to press the button and speak clearly for train information or emergency contact. The notice also warns that CCTV control is connected to the system and that misuse may result in prosecution. This is a strong editorial stock image for unstaffed railway stations, passenger safety, rail accessibility, help points, emergency communication, suburban transport, public information systems and the everyday infrastructure behind Scotland's railway network. Slateford is a suburban station in the west of Edinburgh, served by ScotRail trains on routes linking the city with Glasgow, Shotts, Carstairs and other parts of central Scotland. The help point is particularly relevant because smaller stations may not have staffed ticket offices or a visible member of staff on site, so passengers rely on signs, public address systems, CCTV, intercoms, live information displays and mobile travel apps to get assistance. The photograph can illustrate stories about public transport access, passenger confidence, lone travel, station security, disability support, service disruption, railway modernisation, transport funding and the tension between cost-saving staffing models and the need for reassurance at quieter stops. Visible details include the bold yellow sign, warning text, ScotRail reference, tactile height position, metal post, trees, gravel, fencing and clean platform-side setting. The image is useful for railway, safety, infrastructure, accessibility, customer service and Scottish transport themes, especially where a generic visual is needed for station assistance rather than trains themselves.

Such machinery can be dated back centuries. During the 18th and 19th centuries, as part of the Industrial Revolution cotton-spinning machinery was developed to bring mass production to the cotton industry. Cotton spinning machinery was installed in large factories, commonly known as cotton mills.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BEW1FR - A signalman or signaller is an employee of a railway transport network who operates the points and signals from a signal box in order to control the movement of trains.
Contents
The first signalmen, originally called Railway Policemen (leading to the nickname of 'Bobby'), were employed in the early 19th century and used flags to communicate with each other and train drivers, and hourglasses for the purpose of Time Interval Working between stations.
Additional duties
It was a signalman's duty to check each train that passed their signal box, looking for the red tail lamp exhibited on the trailing vehicle, the sighting of which confirmed that the train was still complete, and thus the section was clear.
Each train movement was logged, by hand, in a Train Register Book, and it was normal practice to provide a special desk to support this sizeable book. As well as train movements, every communication between signalmen and adjacent signal boxes via bell codes (when accepting trains or dealing with a token) was logged.
Technological advances including mechanical fixed signals in the 1840s, the electric telegraph and block working in the 1850s, and proper mechanical interlocking from 1856, allowed safer, more expeditious train working, and more complicated track layouts to be controlled single-handedly. The advent of such technological advances gradually led to the provision of an enclosed workspace known as a signal box, signal cabin or interlocking tower.
The principles of British-style railway signalling have changed little since the Victorian era and early 20th century. Modern technology has generally reduced the labour required per train movement. In many cases, a switch, button or computer command is used to alter the lie of points and control signals. Although many classic mechanical signal boxes remain in use, these are gradually being replaced by modern power signalling systems on most railways. The heartlands of British-style railway signalling could be said

Why is this? Because a group of dedicated individuals saved the signalbox from demolition when the signalling in the Exeter area was renewed in 1985, and carefully dismantled it so it could be re-erected as a working museum demonstrating how the larger signal boxes of the past were.
This box is now viewable at Crewe as part of Crewe Heritage Centre display, and signalmen are present most weekends to describe and demonstrate signalling days of the past and answer questions from visitors.

Its got to be the mascot up at Cheshire's top hand car wash Garnett. They are a really friendly team down there and do a cracking job. I can recommend them.
Look out for the mascot which will be around town from now and into the summer to promote the business that covers cars, valets, drives and conservatories from their base at Old Warrington road, Northwich and out at Tatton adjacent to the Little Chef on the A556. They also clean Fascias, Caravans and even done the odd Tractor believe it or not. Handy as they are insured with NFU (originally the farmers mutual).
Back in December, the local council, Cheshire West and Chester Council (CWAC), took offence at the companies distinctive green and yellow A-Boards. I am unsure if it was the colour or size that was the nature of the complaint. If it was that they were prominent, isn't that the point? I have still noticed plenty of A-Boards around town. To be consistant shouldn't they all be banned?
Shirley Wingfield, a spokesman for CWAC, was reported in the Northwich Guardian as saying \u201cWe do not regard what Mr Garnett was advertising on as A-boards, we regard it as fly posting. \u201cWe act when incidents are reported to us and people are asked not to do it again. If they persist they are issued with a fixed penalty notice.\u201d
Personally I thought I thought I had a good idea what a fly posting was, but maybe not!
If you want to book yourself in with the Garnett Hand Carwash give them a bell on 07825-776617.

Quarry Bank overflows with the atmosphere of the Industrial Revolution. A visit to the cotton mill, built in 1784, and powered by Europe's most powerful working waterwheel, will certainly stimulate your senses.
The clatter of machinery and hiss of steam engines make an astonishing noise. Take a guided tour of the Apprentice House, which housed the pauper children who worked in the Mill and learn about their working and home lives.
Visit the stunning garden, the Greg family's picturesque valley retreat adjoining the Mill. Stroll to Styal village, built by the Greg family to house the Mill workers, and still a thriving community, or walk through ancient woods along the River Bollin.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4578869286 - 'Bob is the handy man at the Blakemere Craft Centre, Sandiway Cheshire. I spotted his lovely beard and got chatting to him. He has had his face fungus now for well over 20 years. On one occasion when he had it shaved off at the barbers he was so unrecognisable that his next door neighbour thought he was a burgler, who had climbed into the back garden! He was simply unrecognisable!
Bob does alsorts around the centre which has now grown into quite a multi-faceted complex. There is even a working Brewery making traditionally crafted cask ales on the site. Yep I do have a nose for that kind of stuff!
In the course of history, men with facial hair have been ascribed various attributes such as wisdom and knowledge, sexual virility, masculinity, or high social status
and, conversely, filthiness, crudeness, or an eccentric disposition. In many cultures, beards are associated with nature and outdoorsmen. I remember in my mis-spent youth enjoying the band ZZ Top, strangely the only member of the band without a beard is in fact called Frank Beard (credited as Rube Beard on early LP's). However it must be said that he did in fact sport some facial hair, generally only a trimmed mustache.
In 1984, the Gillette Company (one of the worlds largest razor manufacturers) reportedly offered Gibbons and Hill (the bearded members of ZZ Top) $1 million each to shave their beards for a television commercial. They allegedly declined, saying 'We're too ugly without 'em'. Apparently the name came from blues guitar master B. B. King. The band had planned to call themselves ZZ. King, but felt it was too similar. Since B.B. King was at the 'top', they settled on ZZ Top.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4562669870 - 'Here is Kev, fastest milkman in the (Cheshire) West (and Chester).
Rarer than the proverbial rocking horse exhaust, the British milkman is becoming an endangered species. I fear the WWF (that\u2019s the wildlife lot, not Hulk Hogans lot obviously!) will be listing Kev and his colleagues quite soon!
Originally, milk needed to be delivered to houses daily since poor refrigeration meant it would quickly spoil. The spread of the humble fridge and the aggressive discounting of supermarkets now mean that we tend to buy milk with the weekly shop and often in long lasting UHT form. Milk delivery also incurs a small cost on the price of dairy products that is increasingly difficult to justify. It also leaves delivered milk in a position where it is often prone to theft.
Kev here is in his electric milk float. Because of the relatively small power output from its electric motor, a milk float travels fairly slowly, usually around 10 to 16 miles per hour, although legend has it that some have been chipped to do up to 80 mph Operators. They are very quiet, suiting operations in residential areas during the early hours of the morning or during the night when diary products can be stealthily delivered.
In August 1967 the UK Electric Vehicle Association stated that Britain had more battery-electric vehicles on its roads than the rest of the world put together. On closer inspection these were in fact milk floats. Quite often their enormous batteries are charged all night in order to do a few hours of deliveries the following morning.
So, from an age when we were asked 'Are you getting enough (milk that is)?', we had 'Confessions of a milkman' and 1960's milk bars, Anthony Burgess his droogs and the Korova, our dominance of electric transport is also ebbing away.
Think on next time you reach for a couple of bricks of UHT in the Tesco Express.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4391232835 - 'Here hard at work is Lyulph, traditional butcher at Garner &
Sons in Cuddington, Northwich, Cheshire UK. It makes a refreshing change to visit a real butcher, rather than the pre-packaged and shrink wrapped conveyor belt plastic meat from the supermarket, although in In English, the name Lyulph is a variant of Lyulf: A compound of the Old English words for flame and wolf.
He was named after Arthur Lyulph Stanley who was a relative of his father and Liberal elected MP for the mainly rural parliamentary constituancy of Eddisbury. Arthur awarded KCMG (14 September 1875 \u2013 22 August 1931), also 5th Baron Stanley of Alderley and 4th Baron Eddisbury, was an English nobleman and Governor of Victoria from 1914 to 1920. Thus a suitable role model to name your child after I guess. The name Lyulph has origins in Scandinavia.
The butcher shop in Cuddington has a long history and in the 1930's there was a fatality when a butcher's boy, Les Watson (brother of Joan Underwood) was involved in a collision with a mail van while riding his delivery bicycle on Swan Hill.
If you would like to visit the shop for excellent local meat, excellent homemade pies and sausages etc, it is at 18 Warrington Road, give them a call on 01606 883162 for opening hours.

Warrington District Camera Club are looking for similar models and subjects for studio nights like this.
They are looking for interesting studio subjects for a number of future Monday night photo club nights in Grappenhall, Warrington Cheshire.
Sessions start at 7.30pm until about 9.30pm and expenses etc will be paid, as well of course subjects receiving images and prints from the session. In some cases this can be a useful additional to a portfolio etc for securing other modelling work.
They do like unusual subjects and if you are part of another group as part of an interest or hobby, please get in touch.
Over the years WDCC have had circus performers, musicians, dancers, performers, a clown, wheelchair tennis professionals, threatre / amateur theatricals group, an old woodworker and beekeeper, exotic animals keeper, hair and beauty students, bird of prey owner and numerous more unusual and standard model subjects. Male or female, old or young, if you might be interesting to photograph, WDCC would like to hear from you.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0N1G - The fishing vessel SY108 Sapphire II moored at Stornoway Harbour on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, with harbour buildings, other boats, rigging, masts and dramatic cloud visible across the waterfront. The blue and white working boat, registration number SY108, sits alongside the quay in a sheltered harbour scene that strongly represents the small fishing fleet and maritime economy of the Western Isles. The sky is overcast and unsettled, with dark cloud, patches of brighter light and muted reflections on the water, giving the image an atmospheric documentary feel. Stornoway is the main port of the Outer Hebrides and supports leisure, lifeline ferry services and commercial activity, while Visit Outer Hebrides describes the harbour as having a small fishing fleet, commercial slipway, coastguard station, lifeboat station and daily freight and passenger ferry operations. This photograph is useful for editorial and commercial themes around Scottish fishing, island communities, working harbours, seafood, maritime heritage, coastal livelihoods, fishing policy, marine safety, harbour infrastructure, rural economies, Scottish islands, tourism and lifeline transport links. The vessel name Sapphire II is visible on the hull, adding value for picture research where named boats, fishing registrations, SY harbour marks or Stornoway fleet details are relevant. The image can support stories about the changing role of fishing in Hebridean towns, the economic importance of ports, small vessel operations, prawn trawling, creel fishing, seafood supply chains, ferry connections, harbour regeneration and community life in remote coastal Scotland. The composition places the working vessel in its local setting rather than as an isolated boat portrait, making it suitable as an establishing image for Stornoway Harbour, Isle of Lewis travel, Outer Hebrides maritime culture, Scottish port towns and the continuing visibility of fishing vessels within a mixed harbour

Gatso speed cameras use radar technology to measure speed, a photo of the back of the vehicle is taken.
Gatso is the brand that Gatsometer BV use on their traffic enforcement cameras, most notably their speed cameras and red light cameras. The most commonly encountered Gatso speed cameras emit radar beams to measure the speed of the vehicle. If it is travelling above the preset trigger speed, one or two photographs are taken (depending on the device's setting, which generally depends on the requirements of the local jurisdiction).
These use a powerful flash, to show the rear of the vehicle, its registration plate, and calibration lines on the road (in many jurisdictions). Newer installations used digital cameras which have limited exposure latitude compared to wet film, these installations use an auxiliary flash placed close to the position where a speeding vehicle would exit the radar beam and the first photograph would be taken

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RDAW31 - St Ives (Cornish: Porth Ia, meaning St Ia's cove) is a seaside town, civil parish and port in Cornwall, England. The town lies north of Penzance and west of Camborne on the coast of the Celtic Sea. In former times it was commercially dependent on fishing. The decline in fishing, however, caused a shift in commercial emphasis, and the town is now primarily a popular seaside resort, notably achieving the title of Best UK Seaside Town from the British Travel Awards in both 2010 and 2011. St Ives was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1639. St Ives has become renowned for its number of artists. It was named best seaside town of 2007 by The Guardian newspaper
Pedn Olva Mine, a former copper mine, at Pedn Olva Point adit, operated in St Ives before 1911, when the engine house on Pedn Olva Point was demolished, now the site of the Pedn Olva Hotel.
The modern seaside resort developed as a result of the arrival of the St Ives Bay branch line from St Erth, part of the Great Western Railway in 1877. With it came a new generation of Victorian seaside holidaymakers. Much of the town was built during the latter part of the 19th century. The railway, which winds along the cliffs and bays, survived the Beeching cuts and has become a tourist attraction itself
From medieval times fishing was important at St Ives
it was one of the most important fishing ports on the north Cornish coast. The original pier's construction date is unknown but the first reference to St Ives having a pier was in 1478 in William Worcester's 'Itinerary'. The pier was re-built by John Smeaton between 1766 and 1770 after falling into disrepair. It was lengthened at a later date. The octagonal lookout with a cupola belongs to Smeaton's design
The first lifeboat was stationed in the town in 1840. In 1867 the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) built a boathouse at Porthgwidden beach. It proved to be a difficult site to launch from, and in 1867 it was replaced by a building in Fore Street.
