Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FCW8DM - . Evening view of the Cat & Lion Joseph Holt pub at Stretton near Warrington. This closer angle emphasises the illuminated CAT & LION fascia, pub sign and flower displays, giving a stronger sense of traditional roadside hospitality. The Cat & Lion at Stretton is a Joseph Holt pub and hotel on Tarporley Road, south of Warrington. Joseph Holt is a long-established Manchester brewer and pub operator whose estate remains strongly associated with Greater Manchester and the surrounding North West. The substantial roadside pub represents a type of suburban and semi-rural hospitality venue serving diners, drinkers, hotel guests and motorists. Evening exterior views are particularly useful for editorial themes around pub trading, hospitality, brewery-owned estates, local employment, drink-driving awareness and the changing economics of British pubs. The location is Cat & Lion, Tarporley Road, Stretton, Warrington, WA4 4NB, England. This geographical detail helps distinguish the subject from similar businesses, buildings or scenes elsewhere and gives the photograph stronger value for local, regional and comparative editorial use. As an editorial stock image, it also records the typography, branding, materials and street-level visual language of its period, details that can become historically valuable as shops, products and public infrastructure are altered or replaced. The photograph is particularly useful where a story needs an identifiable real-world example rather than an abstract illustration, because the surrounding details place the subject in an ordinary British or European setting. Commercial and civic landscapes can change quickly, so apparently routine photographs of signs, shopfronts, machines and transport infrastructure often acquire additional documentary value when companies rebrand, premises close or policies change. This makes the photograph a useful piece of contemporary editorial documentation.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FCW8DP - . The Cat & Lion Joseph Holt pub and hotel at Stretton, Warrington, at dusk. The large brick pub is photographed in the blue light of evening with warm interior illumination, hanging baskets and prominent brewery signage. The Cat & Lion at Stretton is a Joseph Holt pub and hotel on Tarporley Road, south of Warrington. Joseph Holt is a long-established Manchester brewer and pub operator whose estate remains strongly associated with Greater Manchester and the surrounding North West. The substantial roadside pub represents a type of suburban and semi-rural hospitality venue serving diners, drinkers, hotel guests and motorists. Evening exterior views are particularly useful for editorial themes around pub trading, hospitality, brewery-owned estates, local employment, drink-driving awareness and the changing economics of British pubs. The location is Cat & Lion, Tarporley Road, Stretton, Warrington, WA4 4NB, England. This geographical detail helps distinguish the subject from similar businesses, buildings or scenes elsewhere and gives the photograph stronger value for local, regional and comparative editorial use. There is also a strong sense of contemporary place: practical objects, signage and architecture are shown as they actually appear in use, without removing the clutter that makes a documentary photograph informative. The image therefore has value not only for current news features but also for retrospective comparisons of how streets, services, brands and public expectations evolve over time. Details that might seem mundane at the moment of photography can later help date a streetscape or explain how a service was delivered, which is one reason straightforward editorial documentation remains useful to archives and publishers. This makes the photograph a useful piece of contemporary editorial documentation. It preserves a clear, searchable record of the subject and its setting for future editorial comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F2PH53 - . Whitelock's Ale House Guinness sign in Leeds city centre, West Yorkshire, England, UK. Photographed on 18 July 2026. The recorded location is Whitelock's Ale House, Turk's Head Yard, Leeds LS1 6HB, West Yorkshire, England, UK. The dark decorative panel carries Whitelock's branding, its established 1715 date, a Guinness harp and stout branding, reflecting the historic pub's long association with beer and traditional British drinking culture. Whitelock's occupies Turk's Head Yard just off Briggate and first opened in 1715 as the Turk's Head, later taking the Whitelock family name. The surviving pub is known for its historic interior and is a notable part of Leeds hospitality heritage. The background to nightlife is that public houses form a distinctive strand of British social past
Coaching routes, tied brewery estates, Victorian urban growth and twentieth-century leisure each shaped the location and appearance of pubs, many of which later became restaurants, shops, housing or community assets. Within the history of street furniture, signs are functional pieces of graphic design that organise movement and communicate rules, names or destinations
Lettering, symbols, colours and materials can date public space as clearly as architecture, particularly when organisations rebrand or regulations change. In relation to souvenir, historical context shows that material culture includes the ordinary products people bought, used, collected or displayed
Small manufactured objects can reveal national identity, advertising, technology and popular taste in ways that formal records do not. Current 2026 context around nightlife is that in England eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief for the 2026/27 billing year, reflecting continuing concern about operating costs, closures and the role of hospitality in town-centre vitality. Closely related concepts are souvenir, consumer object, vintage object, memorabilia, and branding.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F2PH92 - Large red capital letters spell out LEEDS across a cream-painted exterior wall on the private first-floor terrace at The Brewery Tap in Leeds city centre, West Yorkshire. The oversized lettering, enhanced by a dark offset shadow, creates a bold graphic celebration of the city's identity and provides an immediately recognisable backdrop for customers using the outdoor drinking area. Decorative strings of exposed light bulbs cross the terrace above a mixture of orange, blue and black metal chairs, tall bar stools, wooden tables and a long communal counter fixed against the wall.
Exposed red brickwork, wall-mounted outdoor heaters, security equipment and visible utility fittings give the compact space an informal urban character. Bright daylight illuminates the terrace and colourful furniture, although the seating area is empty at the moment photographed. The close composition concentrates attention on the distinctive typography, hospitality design and strong sense of local civic pride rather than showing the wider pub frontage or surrounding street.
The Brewery Tap stands on New Station Street, only a short walk from Leeds railway station, making it a convenient city-centre meeting place for commuters, rail passengers, residents, shoppers and visitors. The pub promotes a broad choice of craft beer, Yorkshire ales, wines, spirits and food, while its upstairs facilities include a private bar, function space and outside terrace. Its location places it within the busy hospitality district around the station, where pubs, bars, restaurants and cafés serve both the daytime economy and Leeds nightlife.
The combination of the city name, relaxed outdoor furniture, festoon lighting and railway-quarter location makes the scene suitable for illustrating Leeds tourism, regional identity, British pub culture, urban leisure, independent hospitality, social drinking and the economic importance of city-centre food and beverage venues.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ETN5H3 - . Grappenhall Ex-Servicemen's Club World Cup 2026 fever live football poster in Grappenhall, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. Photographed on 15 June 2026. The large promotional sign advertises televised World Cup matches, discounted drinks, bar snacks, family areas, beer offers and club membership, illustrating how social clubs use major sporting events to attract visitors and members. The colourful board stands beside outdoor seating and club grounds. For stadium architecture, the historical context is that football and major sporting events leave a rich material record through flags, tickets, souvenirs, programmes and venue signage
International tournaments in particular can turn everyday objects into historical evidence of national sporting culture. Looking at place identity, the longer history is that place-based photography helps document the relationship between named locations and the people or businesses associated with them, especially where formal architectural records are limited. The background to bar trade is that british pubs developed from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, music venues and landmarks
Names, brewery signs, etched glass, tiled interiors and evolving fascias can preserve local history even when ownership or use changes. For stadium architecture, the 2026 context is that professional sport remains closely tied to broadcast rights, tourism, sponsorship and stadium redevelopment, while supporter experience, policing, ticket prices and transport continue to shape matchday debate. In 2026, place identity remains relevant because current place-making policy increasingly emphasises distinctive local identity rather than generic development, so small landmarks and community businesses can become important parts of how an area is represented. Further relevant search phrases include football club, supporters, fan culture, sporting heritage, and club identity.

The image shows a long staffed bar with beer mats, pump clips, tasting sheets and festival paperwork in the foreground, while rows of cask beer barrels on stillage line the back of the hall, ready for pouring. Men and women are gathered at the counter and around the room, giving the scene a strong sense of a busy local beer event run by volunteers. According to the organisers and ticket listings, the 2026 Grappenhall Beer Festival took place on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 May 2026 at Grappenhall Community Centre, also known as The Bellhouse, and offered more than 30 real ales and ciders together with live music and hot food. This makes the photograph useful for editorial and commercial searches around real ale festivals, CAMRA style beer events, cask-conditioned beer, local brewing, community fundraising, volunteers, charity-run venues, beer tourism, Warrington social life and traditional British pub and brewing culture. The scene captures the practical side of a local beer festival, with volunteers staffing the serving counter, customers browsing choices, and casks arranged behind the bar in a straightforward temporary taproom setting rather than a permanent pub cellar.

It was founded in 1740 on the bank of the Molendinar Burn by Hugh and Robert Tennent. It is owned by C&C Group plc, which purchased the Tennent Caledonian Breweries subsidiary in late August 2009 from Belgian brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev (formerly known as InBev).
The company produces Tennent's Lager, Scotland's market leading brand of pale lager since it was first produced at the Wellpark Brewery in 1885.
Wellpark Brewery was originally known as the Drygate Brewery. It was founded as H & R Tennent in 1740 at Drygate Bridge, near Glasgow Cathedral, by Hugh and Robert Tennent, although brewing had taken place at the same site on the banks of the Molendinar Burn by their ancestor, Robert Tennent, since 1556, making it the oldest continuous commercial concern in Glasgow.
Hugh Tennent's sons, John and Robert, continued the family business, trading as J & R Tennent from 1769. The business expanded in the 1790s when the Tennent family purchased the neighbouring brewery of William McLehose, and renamed the 5-acre (20,000 m2) site Wellpark Brewery.
The firm originally brewed stout and strong export ales. By the mid-19th century J&R Tennent was the world's largest bottled beer exporter. Robert Tennent died in 1826 and John Tennent in 1827. Hugh Tennent (the eldest son of Robert) then assumed control of the business. Hugh Tennent retired in 1855 with his fifth son, Charles Tennent, taking over, but he died in 1864, some months before his father. The brewery was subsequently operated by trustees on behalf of Charles Tennent's sons, Archibald and Hugh.
In 1884 Hugh Tennent took control of the company and first brewed Tennent's lager in 1885. He later built a new lager brewery on the Wellpark site, which was begun in 1889 and completed in 1891. J&R Tennent produced the first draught lager in 1924, the first canned lager in 1935 and the first keg lager in 1963.

The Grappenhall Beer Festival is usually held in May. Where. Grappenhall Community Centre, Bell House Farm, Bell House Lane, Warrington WA4 2SG. In historical terms, brewing combines agricultural ingredients with fermentation, engineering and a long tradition of local brands
Handpumps, casks, brewery vessels and beer labels are all part of the material culture of British ale, particularly the revival of small breweries and cask-conditioned beer from the late twentieth century onwards. As background, public houses form a distinctive part of British social history, combining licensed drinking, hospitality and community life
Older pubs can reveal changing fashions in brewing, tied houses, coaching routes, urban development and leisure, while modern bars show how the licensed trade continues to adapt. In the longer view, community organisations create social infrastructure: places and activities where residents meet, learn, exhibit work, volunteer and organise
Photographs help preserve the people and spaces behind that often-invisible civic contribution. During 2026, independent brewing and cask ale remain important parts of British beer culture, but producers and pubs face pressure from energy, ingredients, tax and changing drinking habits
The sector also continues to experiment with low-alcohol products and new styles. Against the 2026 backdrop, pub survival is a live issue, with government support including a 15% business-rates relief for eligible pubs and live-music venues in England during 2026/27, alongside wider debate about closures, property costs and the value of pubs as community assets. Useful indexing vocabulary includes real ale, craft beer, pub trade, beer production, microbrewery, brewing equipment, independent brewery, licensed premises, alehouse, hostelry, bar trade, and local pub.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BCTGY9 - William Robinson purchased the Unicorn Inn from Samuel Hole on 29 September 1838. His eldest son George brewed the first Robinsons Ale there in 1849.
In 1859, Frederic Robinson took over from George and bought a warehouse to the rear of the inn to expand brewing capacity. As a result, Robinsons ale became available at pubs around the Stockport area. To control the quality of ale sold, Frederic began to purchase public houses. From 1878 until his death in 1890, Frederic established twelve pubs which exclusively served his ale. This was the beginning of what was to become an estate of over 300 pubs across the North West of England and North Wales.
The Unicorn Brewery still rests on the foundations of the public house on Lower Hillgate in Stockport.
The brewery continues to be run by the fifth and sixth generations of the Robinson family. The company took over Hartley's Brewery in Ulverston in 1982, closing it and transferring the brewing of Hartley's beers to Stockport in 1991. Robinsons have acquired a number of other breweries over the years, including John Heginbotham, Stalybridge (1915)
T. Schofield & Son, Ashton under Lyne (1926)
Kays Atlas Brewery, Ardwick (1929) and Bell & Co, Stockport (1949).
The brewery owns many historic pubs, including the New Hall Inn in Bowness on Windermere.

The defining feature is Greenalls Brewery Sign, Bridgwater , Somerset, South West England,. The setting additionally reflects urban change, night-time economy, everyday Britain, social meeting place, local character, customer-facing hospitality, traditional ale house, documentary photography, social history, neighbourhood pub, local drinking place, community identity, period detail, and community hostelry. Today's wider story includes staffing pressures, local footfall and the practical question of the loss or conversion of familiar licensed premises. The archival value lies partly in recording ownership and occupation around Bridgwater, Sedgemoor, Somerset, South West England, England, UK, TA5 2AP before later redevelopment alters the character of the place. The photograph additionally reflects licensed trade, contemporary history, beer-led venue, visual archive, public realm, before-and-after reference, food-and-drink business, and hospitality venue. The recorded references to Bridgwater, Greenalls, Somerset, and Brewery preserve clues that can help identify how the subject was presented or used at the time.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MJ2YEE - . An on-location photograph from the recorded location in 2018, 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 Fighting Cocks Pub, Moseley, Birmingham City Centre, B13 8HW, UK. Another layer of the photograph includes fermented drink production, historic beverage advertising, archival record, place identity, local history, factory bottling line, documentary photography, cider-making heritage, orchard-to-bottle industry, regional drinks industry, bottle-filling machinery, changing land use, community identity, and beverage production. From a 2025-onward perspective, regional food heritage and packaging are closely linked to this subject, alongside Herefordshire's long association with commercial cider production. Small period details of local activity and public use at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following changed technology. The subject also sits alongside public realm, historical comparison, cider brand history, regional identity, changing streetscape, bottling technology, local character, and drinks packaging. The combination of Cocks, Birmingham, Moseley, Centre, and Fighting anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. The wider setting at the recorded location matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. The image also provides a reference for regional food heritage and Herefordshire's long association with commercial cider production in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. Another useful connection is regional food heritage and how historic drinks advertising and machinery become industrial heritage within the real-world context of the recorded location. The view records evidence of earlier appearance before later change alters the scene.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MJ2YEG - . This location-specific image from the recorded location in 2018 provides a visual record of the subject in everyday context, useful for both contemporary editorial work and later historical comparison. At the centre of the view is Fighting Cocks Pub, Moseley, Birmingham City Centre, B13 8HW, UK. A broader reading of the photograph includes changing streetscape, bottling technology, local history, bottle-filling machinery, local character, orchard-to-bottle industry, place identity, regional drinks industry, everyday life, contemporary social history, industrial beverage equipment, beverage production, archival record, and cider-making heritage. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into brand heritage and manufacturing automation, not least because of the relationship between orchard agriculture, regional identity and branded cider. The archival value lies partly in recording transport arrangements and footfall around the recorded location before replacement signage alters the character of the place. The surrounding story also includes visual archive, community identity, changing land use, period detail, drinks manufacturing, factory bottling line, historic beverage advertising, and cider brand history. The combination of Moseley, Birmingham, Centre, Cocks, and Fighting anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. The wider setting at the recorded location matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. Another useful connection is brand heritage and how historic drinks advertising and machinery become industrial heritage when considered against later change at the recorded location. The scene further reflects energy costs and how historic drinks advertising and machinery become industrial heritage without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The scene captures details of everyday use as a date-specific reference.

The scene records Fighting Cocks Pub, Moseley, Birmingham City Centre, B13 8HW, UK. Another layer of the photograph includes archival record, contemporary social history, visual archive, changing land use, documentary photography, period detail, local history, beverage production, social history, public realm, drinks packaging, bottling technology, regional drinks industry, and changing streetscape. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into alcohol duty and responsible drinking, not least because of Herefordshire's long association with commercial cider production. The archival value lies partly in recording materials and architectural details around the recorded location before conservation work alters the character of the place. A second descriptive layer includes industrial beverage equipment, cider brand history, fermented drink production, community identity, regional identity, everyday life, orchard-to-bottle industry, and Herefordshire cider tradition. Elements such as Centre, Moseley, Birmingham, Cocks, and Fighting add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. Another strand within the photograph is alcohol duty and how bottling technology transformed large-scale drinks manufacturing within the specific setting of the recorded location. The setting also helps illustrate regional food heritage and the relationship between orchard agriculture, regional identity and branded cider as part of the longer story of the recorded location. The scene captures a trace of local identity before later change alters the scene.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBN2J - Peveril of the Peak, one of Manchester's best-known historic pubs, photographed with its distinctive green and yellow glazed-tile frontage, decorative doorway, hanging baskets and traditional upper-storey windows. Standing on Great Bridgewater Street in the city centre, the pub is a well-loved local institution and a strong visual example of surviving Victorian pub architecture in north west England. The name is widely said to derive either from the old stagecoach route from Luton over the Peak District or from Sir Walter Scott's 1823 novel Peveril of the Peak, his longest novel.
The image has clear editorial relevance in the context of Andy Burnham's July 2026 announcement of a 20 percent cut in business rates for pubs, clubs and live music venues. For traditional and historic pubs such as this, any reduction in fixed property-based overheads can help ease financial pressure, improve short-term cash flow and free up money for wages, energy bills, repairs, routine maintenance and investment in the building itself. In heritage pubs, that may also support the upkeep of period tiling, woodwork, glazing and other original features that are costly to preserve.
In north west England, where many town and city pubs remain important social, cultural and community assets, such relief could help reduce the risk of closure for some venues operating on tight margins. It may be especially valuable where pubs also depend on evening trade, tourism, music, events and passing city-centre footfall. However, rates relief alone will not solve every problem facing the sector. Rising staffing costs, utilities, insurance, supply costs, changing drinking habits and wider economic pressures still threaten the viability of many traditional pubs.
Photograph therefore works well as an editorial illustration for stories about hospitality support, business-rates reform, pub closures, heritage preservation, nightlife, community venues and the wider struggle to sustain Britain's historic pubs.

The scene is closely associated with Beer, Glass, Brewed, Ilkley, logo, Craft, brewery, Brewed in Ilkley, brewing and ale, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. Beyond the immediate subject, the scene is relevant to British pub culture, licensed premises, real ale, beer tourism and the continuing social role of the traditional public house. 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. The image also works as a record of everyday social history, documenting a familiar type of British hospitality venue at a particular moment in time rather than presenting an idealised studio view. 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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY5KEF - Timothy Taylor's famous award-winning Best Bitter has been renamed Boltmaker.
The tipple has been given the rebranding following a competition, which attracted over 450 entries.
The winning entry was from Phil Booth, landlord of the Boltmakers Arms in East Parade, Keighley. He has received £1,000 which he is donating to Manorlands and 36 gallons of the newly-named beer.
This is just fantastic when I entered I never expected to win, said Phil. What could be better for business than having a beer called Boltmaker on my bar! It will help to spread the name far and wide.
Timothy Taylor sales director Grant Simpson said: Exactly 60 years ago we ran a similar competition to name a beer it became Landlord and has grown into an iconic brand.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4MNN - Half Hangit' Maggie
Maggie Dickson lived in the Early Eighteenth century as a fish hawker and would certainly have remained an anonymous figure had she not been the subject of a public hanging.
Her misfortune began when her husband deserted her in 1723 forcing her to leave the city and move further south to Kelso near the Scottish Borders. Here, she worked for an inkeeper in return for basic lodgings.
Soon after she started an affair with the Innkeeper's son which led to her becoming pregnant, not wanting the innkeeper to discover this as it would surely lead to her instant dismissal she concealed her pregnancy as long as possible. However the baby was born prematurely and died within a few days of being born. Still hiding the baby's existance she planned to put the baby into the River Tweed, but couldn't bring herself to and finally left it on the riverbank.
The same day the baby was discovered and traced to Maggie. She was charged under the contravention of the Concealment of Pregnancy Act and she was taken back to Edinburgh for Trial and execution the latter taking place in public in the Grasssmarket on the 2nd September 1724.
After the hanging she was pronounced dead and her body was bound for Musselburgh where she was to be buried, however the journey was interrupted by a knocking and banging from within the wooden coffin.
The lid was lifted to the sight of Maggie, quite alive. The law saw it as God's will and she was freed to live for a further forty years. She became something of a local celebrity and the locals gave her the nickname 'Half Hangit' Maggie.'
Some said that she had seduced and manipulated the ropemaker, to engineer a weaker noose.
A pub in the Grassmarket is named Maggie Dickson's after her memory, which means her name and story will be remembered for some time yet.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXHG8 - William Brodie (28 September 1741 1 October 1788), more commonly known by his prestigious title of Deacon Brodie, was a Scottish cabinet-maker, deacon of a trades guild and Edinburgh city councillor, who maintained a secret life as a burglar, partly for the thrill, and partly to fund his gambling.
Popular myth holds that Deacon Brodie built the first gallows in Edinburgh and was also its first victim. Of this William Roughead in Classic Crimes states that after research he was sure that although the Deacon may have had some hand in the design, ...it was certainly not of his construction, nor was he the first to benefit by its ingenuity.

Brodie's alter ego
Robert Louis Stevenson, whose father owned furniture made by Brodie, wrote a play (with W. E. Henley) entitled Deacon Brodie, or The Double Life, which was unsuccessful. However, Stevenson remained fascinated by the dichotomy between Brodie's respectable façade, and his real nature and was inspired to write The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886).[1]
Deacon Brodie is commemorated by a pub of that name on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, on the corner of the Lawnmarket and Bank Street which leads down to The Mound, and a close off the Royal Mile, which contained his family residence and workshops, still bears the name Brodie's Close. A pub in New York City carrying his name sits on the south side of the famous west side 46th Street Restaurant Row between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDE67F - Higsons Brewery was originally formed in 1780 at 64 Dale Street, Liverpool. The company brewed beer at this site until 1914, when it moved to the Windsor Brewery in Upper Parliament Street.
In 1918 the brewery was bought by J. Sykes & Company. The combined company began to expand further, acquiring several public houses in the Wirral area and the Spraggs Brewery in 1919. In 1923, the company bought the newly merged Walker Cains' Brewery in Liverpool's Stanhope Street following that company's decision to focus production at its Warrington brewery. There was one last push for expansion in 1927, when the firm acquired Joseph Jones & Co. in Knotty Ash. A further 70 public houses were added as a result.
In 1962, Higsons purchased a new head office in North Street, Liverpool. 1974 saw the brewery merge with James Mellor & Sons. In 1978, Higsons acquired the Bent's Brewery, which was based next to its North Street head office. The vendor was the Bass Brewery. Boddingtons of Manchester acquired Higsons in 1985 but decided to abandon brewing in 1989 to focus on its pubs. Boddingtons' brewing arm was sold to Whitbread in 1990 which then subsequently closed the Higsons Stanhope brewery.

The George and Dragon is a public house in the village of Great Budworth, Cheshire, England. It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.
Great Budworth is a village that was formerly in the estate of Arley Hall. In the later part of the 19th century, its owner, Rowland Egerton-Warburton, undertook a campaign to restore the village and render it picturesque in Victorian eyes.
The George and Dragon was at that time a simple three-bay Georgian inn. In 1875 Egerton-Warburton commissioned the Chester architect John Douglas to undertake the restoration. Douglas added tall rubbed chimneys, mullioned windows and a steep pyramidal turret
On each side of the porch is an oak post-and-rail fence inscribed with a number of sayings. Above the inner door is a stone containing a verse written by Egerton-Warburton. Internally, in the bar, is a stone inscribed in Latin and the date 1722

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'Life Begins at the Hop' is a single by XTC released in 1979. Their fifth single, it was the first indication of a change in their late-seventies sound from urgent post-punk to power pop. As their sound changed, so too did their line-up as keyboardist Barry Andrews was replaced by second guitarist Dave Gregory prior to its recording. The song title references the 1950s' rock 'n' roll classic 'At The Hop'
indeed, the song itself carries a strong early rock 'n' roll influence.
The song is a celebration of 'youth club culture'. 'The hop' of the title refers to popular gatherings sanctioned by local youth clubs as attempts to maintain some measure of control over the types of influences underage attendees would be exposed to in a supervised social environment.
It is also significant for being bassist Colin Moulding's first A-side composition for the group. Though the single just missed the Top Fifty, it established his prominence within the group.
'Homo Safari', the B-side, was the first in Partridge's 'Homo Safari Series', a six-part series of ambient, impressionistic instrumentals.
XTC, very British, very talented. Check them out, tell 'em I sent you!
When I think of hops I think of warm British beer and George Orwell in his novel 'A Clergymans Daughter'.
George Orwell tried his hand at hop-picking at Blest's Farm, somewhere near West Malling, in September 1931, travelling down from London disguised as a tramp. He spent his time living in a Hopper Hut made of tin (corrugated iron), thus discovering that fruit and hop picking was not quite the idyllic life described by many scholars and writers of the time. Orwell earned 9/- in a week, and observed that a family of gypsies who had picked every year since birth earned 14/- each. His account was published in A Clergyman's Daughter in 1935.
Hops are the female flower clusters (commonly called seed cones or strobiles), of a hop species, Humulus lupulus. They are used primarily as a flavoring and stability agent in beer, to which they impart a bitter, tangy flavor, though hops are also used for various purposes in other beverages and herbal medicine.
Hops were cultivated continuously around the 8th or 9th century AD in Bohemian gardens in the Hallertau district of Bavaria and other parts of Europe. However, the first documented use of hops in beer as a bittering agent is from the eleventh century. Before this period, brewers used a wide variety of bitter herbs and flowers, including dandelion, burdock root, marigold, horehound (the German name for horehound means 'mountain hops'), ground ivy, and heather.
Hops are used extensively in brewing for their many purported benefits, including balancing the sweetness of the malt with bitterness, contributing a variety of desirable flavors and aromas, and having an antibiotic effect that favors the activity of brewer's yeast over less desirable microorganisms. Historically, it is believed that traditional herb combinations for ales were abandoned when it was noticed that ales made with hops were less prone to spoilage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF23PH - Circus Tavern, Manchester, United Kingdom. The smallest pub in the city.
Manchesters second smallest boozer, with room for approximately twenty people including the feisty bar maid. The kind of venue where the music would stop when you walked in - that's if they had room for speakers - but within half an hour you'd be on first name terms with the regulars.
Not exactly a vast array of cocktails (This is more for the beer drinkers and G&T lovers) this is a bar that you hope will stay in Manchester for ever. In fact it's central location, on the busy Portland Street near Manchesters china town, makes it even more surprising that this hasn't been turned into apartments.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJYRD0 - . Recorded at 45 Rupert Street, Soho, London, England, UK, W1D 7PJ 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 main point of reference is Inside bar area & spirit optics, at The White Horse Sam Smiths pub, Soho, 45 Rupert Street Soho London, England, UK, W1D 7PJ. The image also relates to before-and-after reference, community identity, urban social history, commercial hospitality, visitor economy, changing land use, public realm, everyday street life, destination dining, casual dining, community life, archival record, townscape record, and place identity. The wider contemporary story combines hospitality costs, changing dining habits and the role of restaurants and bars in visitor-led regeneration. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with footfall, local identity and how regeneration alters the character of familiar places. For later comparison, the photograph preserves transport arrangements and footfall at 45 Rupert Street, Soho, London, England, UK, W1D 7PJ, details that may look very different after altered transport patterns. The photograph additionally reflects leisure spending, contemporary city life, documentary photography, restaurant culture, historical comparison, customer-facing service, independent food retail, and local character. Elements such as White, Inside, optics, Rupert, and Smiths add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. Around 45 Rupert Street, Soho, London, England, UK, W1D 7PJ, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. Another strand within the photograph is hospitality costs and the resilience of customer-facing businesses in a high-cost economy when considered against later change at 45 Rupert Street, Soho, London, England, UK, W1D 7PJ.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DED2KR - . Sign at the Oxford Bar. A public house situated on Young Street, in the New Town of Edinburgh, Scotland. Insp' Rebus's local - Scotland , UK, EH2 4JB. Photographed on 26 August 2013. The recorded location is The Oxford Bar, 8 Young Street, Edinburgh EH2 4JB. The modest Oxford Bar is a public house situated on Young Street, in the New Town of Edinburgh, Scotland. Inspector Rebus's local from the Ian rankin books. A super secret tourist attraction for first time visitors to the city. The Oxford Bar in Edinburgh's New Town is a small, traditional public house with a long history on Young Street and a Category B listed interior. It became internationally known through Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus novels, in which the fictional detective drinks there. The literary association has made an otherwise understated local pub part of Edinburgh's crime-fiction tourism, while the surviving compartmentalised bar layout preserves an older form of Scottish pub interior. Historically, british pubs evolved from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, drinking houses, music venues and landmarks within town and village life
Their architecture, signs, interiors and evolving names often preserve layers of local commercial and social history. Looking at the subject's development, town and city centres are continually rewritten by new structures, transport schemes and changing commercial uses
Photographs preserve the everyday fabric between major landmarks, including underpasses, arcades, back streets and small businesses that may disappear during redevelopment. As background, public wording is part of the visual landscape
Direction signs, warning notices, painted advertisements and engraved plaques show how authorities and businesses communicated before digital screens and app-based information became widespread. Further subject-specific language includes licensed premises, hostelry, bar trade, and hospitality.
