Bilingual signage such as this reflects Wales's commitment to the Welsh language and its integration into everyday public life and infrastructure projects.
Brightly coloured and highly visible, the sign is designed to communicate long-term transport improvement works to the public, highlighting themes of urban regeneration, sustainable travel, and reduced car dependency. The image captures how large-scale infrastructure projects are communicated visually within city environments.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use illustrating transport investment in Wales, bilingual Welsh signage, urban infrastructure projects, public transport development, government-funded construction schemes, and contemporary city regeneration in Cardiff.

Photographed in daylight, the image documents contemporary media infrastructure in Wales and is suitable for editorial use relating to journalism, publishing, regional media, freedom of the press, and the changing nature of news production in the United Kingdom.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFEPXP - The exterior of a UK Government office building in Central Square, Cardiff, featuring large bilingual signage reading Llywodraeth y DU and UK Government . The use of Welsh alongside English reflects statutory bilingual requirements for central government operations in Wales and highlights the visibility of the Welsh language within official public life.
The building forms part of Cardiff's Central Square redevelopment, a major urban regeneration project that has brought together transport infrastructure, government offices and commercial development adjacent to Cardiff Central railway station. The glass-fronted design and open public forecourt reflect contemporary approaches to civic architecture, emphasising accessibility, transparency and modern working environments for civil servants.
Photographed in daylight with people entering and leaving the building, the image documents everyday government activity in the Welsh capital. It is suitable for editorial use relating to public administration, bilingualism, devolution, modern government workplaces, and urban regeneration in Wales.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFEPY0 - This image shows a modern UK Government office building in Cardiff city centre, part of the UK Government Hub in Wales. The bilingual signage reading Llywodraeth y DU and UK Government reflects statutory Welsh language requirements and the presence of central government departments operating in Wales.
The building features a contemporary glass-and-stone facade with strong vertical lines, large windows, and a transparent ground-floor entrance, characteristic of recent civic and commercial developments in Cardiff's regenerated city-centre districts. The architectural style emphasises openness, accessibility, and modern public-sector working environments.
The photograph appears to have been taken during daylight hours on a working day, with people visible entering or passing the building, reinforcing its role as an active government workplace. The urban surroundings and street furniture place the building firmly within Cardiff's central business and administrative area.
UK Government hubs such as this accommodate multiple departments under one roof, supporting civil service functions while contributing to city-centre regeneration and the local economy. The image documents the physical presence of UK central government in Wales and the integration of bilingual identity within the built environment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFEPY3 - The statue of Betty Campbell in Central Square, Cardiff, commemorates a pioneering Welsh educator, community leader and campaigner for equality in education. Born in Cardiff in 1934 to Jamaican parents, Betty Campbell grew up in the city at a time when Black communities in Wales were small, often marginalised, and largely absent from public narratives. She trained as a teacher and in 1974 became Wales's first Black headteacher, taking charge of Mount Stuart Primary School in Cardiff Bay, an area then facing economic decline and significant social change.
Campbell was a strong advocate for multicultural education long before it became embedded in national policy. She worked to ensure that Black history, cultural awareness and anti-racist education were included in the school curriculum, believing that children of all backgrounds should see themselves reflected in what they were taught. Beyond the classroom, she played an influential role in local and national initiatives, contributing to the development of Black History Month in Wales and advising on equality and community cohesion. Her work helped challenge institutional racism within education and broadened understanding of Welsh identity as diverse and multi-ethnic.
Unveiled in 2021, the bronze sculpture depicts Campbell rising from a tree-like form, with children gathered at the base, symbolising growth, learning and the lasting impact of education across generations. Situated in Cardiff's redeveloped Central Square, the statue represents a deliberate effort to recognise previously overlooked figures in Welsh public life. Photographed in natural daylight, the image documents contemporary civic memorialisation in Wales, illustrating themes of education, representation, social progress and the evolving understanding of national history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFEPY5 - Jobcentre Plus (Welsh: Canolfan byd Gwaith
Scottish Gaelic: Ionad Obrach is Eile) is a brand used by the Department for Work and Pensions in the United Kingdom.
From 2002 to 2011, Jobcentre Plus was an executive agency which reported directly to the Minister of State for Employment. It was formed by the amalgamation of two agencies, the Employment Service, which operated Jobcentres, and the Benefits Agency, which ran social security offices.
Role of Jobcentre Plus
Jobcentre Plus was an executive agency of the Department for Work and Pensions of the government of the United Kingdom between 2002 and 2011. The functions of Jobcentre Plus were subsequently provided directly through the Department for Work and Pensions. The agency provided services primarily to those attempting to find employment and to those requiring the issuing of a financial provision due to, in the first case, lack of employment, of an allowance to assist with the living costs and expenditure intrinsic to the effort to achieve employment, or in all other cases the provision of social-security benefit as the result of a person without an income from employment due to illness-incapacity including drug addiction. The organisation acted from within the government's agenda for community and social welfare. Services were provided in the first instance via in-house job-advisors and advisors contacted via telephony. An information technology system known as the Labour Market System (LMS) contained the personal details of job seekers and advertised job vacancies for employers within each of the public offices.
Between 2012 and 2018 a government website named Universal Jobmatch was used whereby jobseekers could search for employment and employers could upload and manage their own vacancies whilst searching for prospective employees.
Claims may be made for working-age benefits such as Jobseeker's Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support or the new Universal Credit

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFER1D - A penalty charge notice from Cardiff council, is an official notification that you have been found to have committed a minor offence, for which there is a standard penalty charge. PCN are used to streamline the process of penalising minor offenders, without the expense and complication of legal proceedings.
Any offence that has a standard penalty charge, is not an offence that you can be prosecuted for. A penalty charge is not the same thing as an enforceable fine. That being said, you can't just ignore a PCN. You will need to either appeal against it or pay it.
Cardiff council issues Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) for a number of reasons. However, the most common reasons why you might either find one attached to your vehicle or be sent one by post, are for minor traffic rule infractions and parking offences.
If you are issued with a PCN, what do you need to do with it? Can you ignore it, or do you have to pay it? Or is there some way to make an appeal against the PCN?
You can't pay a penalty charge notice in instalments. There are three ways to pay a Cardiff council penalty charge notice. You can pay online, as long as you know the PCN number and have a credit or debit card. There is also a payment hotline that is open 7 days a week, around the clock. You can call 029 2044 5900 and give the PCN number, and then pay using a payment card. Lastly, you can make out a cheque or postal order to Cardiff Council, write the PCN number on the back, and then post it to the following address:

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFER1H - A statue of Aneurin Bevan stands at the western end of Queen Street, Cardiff, Wales in recognition of Aneurin Bevan (1897 “ 1960) who is credited with founding the National Health Service (NHS). It has been described as perhaps one of Wales' most iconic statues
Aneurin Nye Bevan PC (15 November 1897 “ 6 July 1960) was a Welsh Labour Party politician, noted for tenure as Minister of Health in Clement Attlee's government in which he spearheaded the creation of the British National Health Service. He is also known for his wider contribution to the founding of the British welfare state.
Bevan is widely regarded as one of the most influential left-wing politicians in British history.
The statue was erected in 1987, designed by Robert Thomas.
Bevan became Labour MP for Ebbw Vale in 1929, subsequently an effective public speaker known for his left wing views and being temporarily expelled from the party on two occasions (one of them for his opposition to nuclear weapons). He was elected to the Labour's National Executive and became Minister for Health in the post-war Labour government, where he was behind the nationalisation of healthcare and founding of the NHS. As Minister for Housing he took steps to solve the post-war housing shortage. Bevan remained MP for Tredegar until his death in 1960.
The statue was commissioned by South Glamorgan County Council and designed by Welsh sculptor, Robert Thomas, who also created a number of other sculptures in Cardiff city centre. The statue was erected in 1987 at the far end of Queen Street. It is the only statue of Bevan (as of 2021) in the United Kingdom.
The figure of Bevan, wearing a suit and leaning forward in a typical pose, is cast in bronze and stands on top of a polished granite pedestal. The statue is 1.83 metres (6.0 ft) in height, while the pedestal is 2.14 metres (7.0 ft) high. In gold on the front of the pedestal are the words Founder of the National Health Service.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3BA - Cardiff Market (Welsh: Marchnad Caerdydd), also known as Cardiff Central Market (Welsh: Marchnad Ganolog Caerdydd) and as the Market Building, is a Victorian indoor market in the Castle Quarter of Cardiff city centre, capital city of Wales.
Originally the site of Cardiff gaol, the gallows were located on the site of the current St. Mary Street entrance, where Dic Penderyn was hanged on 13 August 1831.
The market was designed by the Borough Surveyor, William Harpur, and opened in May 1891. A farmers' market is known to have existed at the site since the 18th century.
The market consists of two shopping levels, a ground floor and a balcony level which wraps around the market exterior walls on the interior. Entrances to the market are located at St. Mary Street, Trinity Street and from an alleyway off Church Street.
A large H. Samuel clock has hung above the High Street entrance since 1910. The current clock dates from 1963 (by Smith of Derby) and was restored at a cost of £25,000 in 2011
Since 1975 the building has been listed and is currently Grade II

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3CY - This image shows the former Royal Hotel building on St Mary Street in Cardiff city centre, a prominent Victorian-era structure that once operated as one of the city's notable hotels and now houses the Slug & Lettuce bar and restaurant. The stone-fronted facade, with its symmetrical window arrangement and classical detailing, reflects Cardiff's late nineteenth-century commercial architecture and the city's expansion during the industrial and dockland boom years.
The words ROYAL HOTEL remain clearly visible across the upper facade, preserving the building's historic identity despite its modern hospitality use. At street level, contemporary branding and glazing for Slug & Lettuce sit within the original architectural framework, illustrating the adaptive reuse of historic city-centre buildings common across UK high streets.
The photograph appears to have been taken in daylight during warmer months, with people casually dressed and moving along St Mary Street. The pavement looks wet, suggesting recent rain, with subtle reflections adding texture to the urban scene. Overhead tram or utility wires are visible, reinforcing the dense city-centre environment.
St Mary Street is one of Cardiff's principal pedestrian routes, linking shopping, nightlife, and tourism areas, and this building forms part of a continuous historic streetscape that blends heritage architecture with contemporary leisure and retail uses. The image captures both Cardiff's architectural past and its present-day role as a lively capital city destination.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFJ3D2 - A close view of an illuminated exterior sign for Playhouse Gentlemen's Club in Cardiff city centre. The circular sign, clearly displaying the name Playhouse along with heraldic-style graphics, is mounted above street level and lit with warm bulbs, designed to attract attention within a busy urban streetscape.
The venue operates as part of Cardiff's night-time leisure economy, which includes bars, clubs, live music venues and adult entertainment establishments concentrated around the city centre. Signs such as this play a functional and symbolic role, marking spaces associated with nightlife, consumption and adult-oriented leisure within the public realm.
The surrounding architecture reflects Cardiff's historic commercial streets, with upper-floor residential or office accommodation above ground-level leisure uses. The contrast between traditional building façades and modern illuminated signage illustrates how historic city centres adapt to changing patterns of entertainment and economic activity.
Photographed under conditions where artificial lighting is prominent, the image is well suited for editorial use covering nightlife economies, urban culture, adult entertainment regulation, city-centre leisure districts, and debates around the role of such venues within modern British cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MKF8CY - William John Boston, MBE (born 6 August 1934) is a Welsh former professional rugby league footballer who played as a wing or centre. Born in Cardiff, Wales, Boston started his career as a rugby union player before joining Wigan in 1953. He spent the next 15 years at Wigan, where he scored a club-record 478 tries in his 488 appearances for the club. He finished his career at Blackpool Borough before retiring in 1970. He also represented Great Britain in 31 Test matches, and was part of the team that won the 1960 Rugby League World Cup.
Regarded as one of the sport's greatest ever players, Boston scored a total of 571 tries in his career, making him the second-highest try scorer in rugby league history. He is an original inductee of the British Rugby League Hall of Fame, Welsh Sports Hall of Fame and Wigan Warriors Hall of Fame, and was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 1996 Birthday Honours for services to the community in Wigan, Greater Manchester.
Early life
Born on 6 August 1934 at Angelina Street, Butetown, Cardiff, Boston was the sixth of eleven children born to John Boston (a merchant seaman from Sierra Leone) and Nellie who came from Cardiff's Irish community
On 13 March 1953 Wigan chairman Joe Taylor and vice-chairman Billy Gore travelled to Boston's home in Cardiff and offered him £1,000 to sign for them. Although that was very large offer, Boston's mother rejected it on his behalf. A second offer of £1,500 was made in cash, and the money was spread out on the table in five pound notes to show the family how much money it was.
Boston stated that he still did not want to sign, but his mother had given their word, and Boston signed the contract.
Boston made his 'A' team début a crowd of 8,000 assembled inside Central Park, Wigan. He made his first team début against Barrow in November 1953 scoring a try.
Billy Boston played stand-off in Wigan's 8“13 defeat by Oldham in the 1957“58 Lancashire Cup Final

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRECBM - Inspired by the American IPA revolution but firmly rooted on the sun kissed beaches of South Wales. Barry Island IPA is brewed with a trio of US hops to deliver a beer bursting with citrus aromas. A smooth malt taste is followed with a vigorous bitter finish and a ˜tidy' clout of citrus and berry hop flavours.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JKGAP3 - Conceptual editorial image spelling out Social Housing Disrepair with cream letter tiles arranged across a road map of Wales. The composition links poor property condition, delayed repairs and unsafe rented homes with the Welsh social housing sector, including properties managed by councils and registered social landlords.
Housing disrepair can include damp and mould, water penetration, defective roofs, broken heating, unsafe electrics, structural problems, inadequate sanitation, damaged windows and doors, pest entry, excess cold and other hazards affecting health, safety and wellbeing. Repeated temporary repairs, missed appointments, weak records and failures to identify underlying causes can leave residents living with unresolved problems for long periods.
In Wales, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 and Fitness for Human Habitation regulations require landlords to keep rented homes in repair and ensure they are fit to live in. The framework covers electrical safety, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms alongside the wider condition of the dwelling. The Welsh Housing Quality Standard also expects social homes to be in good repair, safe, secure, affordable to heat and supportive of resident wellbeing.
Contract-holders should report defects to their landlord and allow a reasonable opportunity for investigation and repair. When a council or housing association fails to resolve the matter, residents can use the landlord's formal complaints process and may then approach the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales. Complaints and repair histories should also help landlords identify recurring failures and prioritise investment.
The map makes this specifically relevant to Welsh housing policy rather than Awaab's Law, which applies to social landlords in England. The image suits reporting on poor housing conditions, damp and mould, repair backlogs, landlord accountability, tenant rights, public health, regulation and social inequality.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DTMKPY - Brains (S. A. Brain & Company Ltd.) is a regional brewery based in Cardiff, Wales. It was founded in 1882 by Samuel Arthur Brain.[1] At its peak, the company controlled more than 250 pubs in South Wales (particularly in Cardiff), Mid Wales and the West Country but the brewer sold most of its pub estate in 2022.[2] The company took over Crown Buckley Brewery in Llanelli in 1997 and Hancock's Brewery in 1999. In 2000, Brains moved to the former Hancock's Brewery just south of Cardiff Central railway station. The Old Brewery, in Cardiff city centre, has been developed into a modern bar and restaurant complex.
The company produces a range of beers under the Brains, Buckley's and Hancock's names. As part of their marketing strategy, Brains use shirt sponsorship for the Wales national rugby union team and the Crusaders Rugby League team

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFER19 - A penalty charge notice from Cardiff council, is an official notification that you have been found to have committed a minor offence, for which there is a standard penalty charge. PCN are used to streamline the process of penalising minor offenders, without the expense and complication of legal proceedings.
Any offence that has a standard penalty charge, is not an offence that you can be prosecuted for. A penalty charge is not the same thing as an enforceable fine. That being said, you can't just ignore a PCN. You will need to either appeal against it or pay it.
Cardiff council issues Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) for a number of reasons. However, the most common reasons why you might either find one attached to your vehicle or be sent one by post, are for minor traffic rule infractions and parking offences.
If you are issued with a PCN, what do you need to do with it? Can you ignore it, or do you have to pay it? Or is there some way to make an appeal against the PCN?
You can't pay a penalty charge notice in instalments. There are three ways to pay a Cardiff council penalty charge notice. You can pay online, as long as you know the PCN number and have a credit or debit card. There is also a payment hotline that is open 7 days a week, around the clock. You can call 029 2044 5900 and give the PCN number, and then pay using a payment card. Lastly, you can make out a cheque or postal order to Cardiff Council, write the PCN number on the back, and then post it to the following address:
