Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EW7C8Y - Plentific stage presentation taking place inside Manchester Central during Housing 2026, the major UK housing exhibition and conference held in June 2026. The image shows an audience of delegates seated around a small open stage area within the exhibition hall, with speakers on high stools, microphones, lighting stands, branded panels and nearby supplier stands. The Plentific branding is visible on the stage backdrop, while the surrounding exhibition space includes pink carpet walkways, trade stands and the distinctive arched roof structure of Manchester Central.
Plentific is a property operations and maintenance platform used in the housing sector, including by housing associations and local authorities. Its services are associated with repairs, maintenance, compliance, contractor management, field service operations, resident communication, reporting and digital transformation. A stage session like this reflects the way Housing 2026 combined supplier exhibitions with live seminar content, giving landlords, councils, consultants and technology providers a place to discuss operational pressures, data, compliance, resident experience and the use of newer digital tools in social housing.
The image is useful for editorial themes around UK social housing, housing technology, property management systems, repairs transformation, supplier engagement, conference learning and the business ecosystem around affordable housing. It also captures the practical format of modern sector events, where presentation stages are placed directly within the exhibition floor rather than separated from the supplier marketplace. Delegates can be seen listening, taking notes and watching the discussion, with other visitors moving through the wider show area in the background.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F4NR71 - . Canal Street Manchester panorama, summer drinkers in the gay village area. Photographed on 23 May 2026, this spring image records the subject in its real-world setting and provides a contemporary visual reference for the place, activity, object or organisation shown. Key searchable subjects associated with the scene include Canal Street, Manchester, Canal St, tourists, break, panorama, summer, drinkers, in the, gay, village, area, providing natural SEO coverage without losing the specific documentary identity of the photograph. The broad field of view gives useful spatial context, showing how the main subject sits within the wider urban or landscape setting. The waterside context adds themes of ports, docks, harbours, rivers, canals, ferries, leisure boating, maritime transport and waterfront regeneration. Such views are useful for travel and infrastructure coverage as well as for documenting how working waterfronts, passenger services and former industrial land change over time. The wider panoramic composition places the principal subject within its surrounding streetscape or landscape, giving additional context about scale, neighbouring buildings, public space and the relationship between different landmarks. This broad view is particularly useful for cityscape, regeneration, tourism and planning stories because it records several elements of the location together rather than isolating a single detail. The frame provides a detailed documentary record of the subject as it appeared at the time of photography, preserving the surrounding context as well as the principal feature. Its value is both descriptive and editorial, allowing the scene to illustrate news, features, local history, travel, social change and retrospective comparison. The photograph can also support future before-and-after use if the building, business, service, streetscape, transport operation or public space is later altered, redeveloped, rebranded or closed.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFHRHH - . Catania port and city with snow-capped Mount Etna in the background, Sicily, Italy. Photographed on 26 April 2026. The recorded location is Catania, Sicily, Italy. The elevated panoramic view looks across the harbour, breakwaters and dense urban area towards the prominent volcanic cone rising above the city beneath a bright blue sky. Etna's snow-covered summit provides a dramatic natural backdrop to the busy city and harbour and emphasises the close relationship between one of Europe's most active volcanoes and the communities living around its slopes. The image can illustrate travel, volcanic risk, tourism, port activity, city planning, Mediterranean landscapes and the geography of eastern Sicily. Seen through port infrastructure, the earlier context is that working harbours combine civil engineering with everyday transport
Their breakwaters, piers, navigation lights and boarding areas reflect successive generations of investment as traditional fishing and coastal shipping have been joined by tourism, cruise traffic and lifeline ferry services. For climate, the historical context is that seasonal photographs offer clear evidence of weather, vegetation and annual customs
Snow, spring flowers and festive decoration can date both the natural cycle and the social calendar of a place. Looking at biodiversity, the longer history is that plants and seasonal countryside details provide precise markers of the agricultural and botanical year
Flowering, harvest, autumn colour and winter dormancy can all be used to compare evolving seasonal patterns over time. The 2026 relevance of port infrastructure comes from the fact that current 2026 transport policy places increasing emphasis on integrated journeys, active travel and lower-emission fleets, so ferry terminals now sit within wider networks of rail, bus, cycling and electric-vehicle infrastructure rather than functioning as isolated ports.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F8YR4C - . Dundee city centre panorama showing rooftops, landmarks and the urban skyline in Dundee, Scotland, UK. Photographed on 13 August 2025. The recorded location is Dundee city centre, Dundee, Scotland, UK. Wide panoramic view across Dundee city centre in Scotland, UK, showing a dense mix of rooftops, streets, modern buildings, historic structures and church spires stretching across the urban skyline. The long horizontal composition gives useful geographic context and shows the mixture of old and new architecture that characterises central Dundee. Seen through urban housing, the earlier context is that residential architecture is closely tied to planning and social change
Post-war estates, high-rise blocks, gated developments and city-centre apartments reveal assumptions about land values, transport, security and the relationship between private and public space. For visitor destination, the historical context is that travel imagery becomes historical evidence when transport, signage or the visitor economy changes
A familiar destination photographed years earlier can reveal redevelopment, altered businesses and changing patterns of access. The 2026 relevance of urban housing comes from the fact that debate about housing focuses not only on numbers but also energy performance, building safety, infrastructure and the balance between social, affordable and market homes
Development photographs can illustrate how those policies translate into physical change. For visitor destination, the 2026 context is that tourism businesses continue to balance visitor demand with staffing, transport, environmental impact and pressure on popular places
Images of gateways, attractions and town centres can illustrate both destination appeal and the infrastructure required to support it. Additional subject vocabulary includes residential development, flats, housing estate, social housing, affordable housing, regeneration, property, neighbourhood, and housing supply.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EW7CMF - Wide panoramic view across Bristol Floating Harbour from the Princes Wharf and M Shed area of Bristol Harbourside. The scene shows the city waterfront under bright blue sky with scattered summer clouds, with moored historic boats in the foreground and the black-hulled MV Balmoral visible on the right side of the harbour. A tall dockside museum crane stands at the right edge of the frame, linking the present-day leisure waterfront with Bristol's working port and industrial past.
M Shed is Bristol's city museum, located in a former dockside transit shed on Princes Wharf beside the Floating Harbour. The museum tells Bristol's story through its people, places, transport, trade and maritime history. Outside the museum are important working exhibits, including the harbour cranes and railway features that reflect the commercial life of the old City Docks. The M Shed cargo cranes were built in 1951 for the L and M transit sheds and are now recognised heritage features on the harbourside.
The image has strong editorial value for Bristol tourism, waterfront regeneration, maritime heritage, city break travel, industrial archaeology and the reuse of historic dock infrastructure. Bristol's harbourside has shifted from commercial port activity to a mixed cultural, leisure and visitor area, with museums, boats, cafés, walkways, public spaces and heritage structures clustered around the water. The panorama format helps show the scale of the harbour basin and the relationship between the boats, quayside, skyline and museum exhibits.
MV Balmoral, a historic passenger vessel, has long been associated with Bristol Harbour and is seen moored near M Shed. The presence of preserved vessels and working dock machinery reinforces the area's identity as a living maritime landscape rather than a purely decorative waterfront. Visible elements include harbour railings, mooring ropes, small boats, the MV Balmoral name on the hull, the museum crane, broad waterway, city buildings, quayside path

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FAFD66 - Elevated view across Bradford Interchange railway platforms with a Northern passenger train and the Santander office building forming part of the city-centre background. Bradford Interchange is a key public transport hub serving rail and bus passengers and connecting the city with Leeds, Manchester and other destinations across West Yorkshire and northern England. The image is suitable for editorial coverage of rail travel, commuting, Northern trains, public transport, transport investment, station redevelopment, regional connectivity and city-centre regeneration. The juxtaposition of railway infrastructure and major office employment also illustrates the relationship between transport and economic activity. Bradford's centre has seen substantial redevelopment and public-realm investment, while improving rail links remains important to debates about productivity and connectivity in northern England. The photograph provides a clear documentary view of everyday passenger transport infrastructure rather than a staged promotional scene. As a documentary street photograph, the scene is also useful for wider coverage of Bradford's changing economy and built environment, where Victorian industrial heritage, post-war redevelopment, modern offices, transport infrastructure and diverse community institutions sit close together. The image records a specific place without staging or advertising treatment and can support comparisons over time as buildings are refurbished, repurposed, demolished or redeveloped. It also offers regional context for stories about investment, employment, public services and the continuing regeneration of major northern English city centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R4WEG8 - Liverpool Street station, also known as London Liverpool Street, is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in the north-eastern corner of the City of London, in the ward of Bishopsgate Without. It is the terminus of the West Anglia Main Line to Cambridge, the Great Eastern Main Line to Norwich, commuter trains serving east London and destinations in the East of England, and the Stansted Express service to Stansted Airport.
The station opened in 1874, as a replacement for Bishopsgate station as the Great Eastern Railway's main London terminus. By 1895, it had the most platforms of any London terminal station. During the First World War, an air raid on the station killed 16 on site, and 146 others in nearby areas. In the build-up to the Second World War, the station served as the entry point for thousands of child refugees arriving in London as part of the Kindertransport rescue mission. The station was damaged by the 1993 Bishopsgate bombing and, during the 7 July 2005 bombing, seven passengers were killed when a bomb exploded aboard an Underground train, just after it had departed from Liverpool Street. New platforms for the Elizabeth line opened in 2022 as part of the Crossrail project.
Liverpool Street was built as a dual-level station, with provision for the Underground. A tube station opened in 1875 for the Metropolitan Railway
the tube station is now served by the Central, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. It is in fare zone 1 and is managed directly by Network Rail.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJHNWB - Abellio East Midlands Limited, trading as East Midlands Railway (EMR), is a train operating company in England, owned by Transport UK Group, and is the current operator of the East Midlands franchise
In March 2017, the Department for Transport announced that Arriva, a joint venture between FirstGroup and Trenitalia, and incumbent Stagecoach had been shortlisted to bid for the next East Midlands franchise. Abellio was added in February 2018.
FirstGroup and Trenitalia pulled out of the bidding process in April 2018 to focus on the West Coast Partnership franchise. In April 2019 the franchise was awarded to Abellio, with East Midlands Railway (EMR) to take over the franchise from East Midlands Trains (EMT) on 18 August 2019 for a period of eight years.
In June 2019, Abellio revealed branding and colour scheme using distinct purple and white colours to reflect the heritage of the East Midlands. It also confirmed it would divide the services into three segments:
EMR InterCity for long-distance services from London St Pancras
EMR Regional for services across the East Midlands
EMR Electrics for the outer suburban London St Pancras to Corby service
In April 2021 it was announced that EMR Electrics would be rebranded as EMR Connect.
In February 2023, Transport UK Group concluded a management buyout of Abellio's United Kingdom business, which included EMR

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ0YY4 - Bacharach (pronunciation (help·info), also known as Bacharach am Rhein) is a town in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rhein-Nahe, whose seat is in Bingen am Rhein, although that town is not within its bounds.
The original name Baccaracus suggests a Celtic origin. Above the town stands Stahleck Castle (Burg Stahleck), now a youth hostel.
Geography
Location
The town lies in the Rhine Gorge, 48 km south of Koblenz.
Constituent communities
Bacharach is divided into several Ortsteile. The outlying centre of Steeg lies in the Steeg Valley (Steeger Tal) off to the side, away from the Rhine. This glen lies between Medenscheid and Neurath to the south and Henschhausen to the north on the heights.
History
In the early 11th century, Bacharach had its first documentary mention. It may have been that as early as the 7th century, the kingly domain passed into Archbishop of Cologne Kunibert's ownership
pointing to this is a Kunibertskapelle (chapel) on the spot where now stands the Wernerkapelle. The Vögte of the Cologne estate were the Elector of the Palatinate, who over time pushed back Cologne's influence.
Caring for and maintaining Bacharach's building monuments, spurred on in the early 20th century by the Rhenish Association for Monument Care and Landscape Preservation (Rheinischer Verein für Denkmalpflege und Landschaftsschutz) which took on the then highly endangered town wall and Stahleck Castle ruin jobs, and the great dedication of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate to the Wernerkapelle have seen to it that Bacharach is still a jewel of the Rheinromantik and a multifaceted documentary site of mediaeval architecture on the Middle Rhine. The Wernerkapelle ruin is under monumental protection and before it a plaque has been placed recalling the inhuman crimes against Jewish residents and also containing a quotation from a prayer by Pope John XXIII for a change in Christians' thinking in their relationship

Parish Church of St. Peter, nave with medieval paintings
The Church of St. Peter in Bacharach is a former collegiate church . It has been evangelical since the Reformation in the Electoral Palatinate in 1556 and belongs to the Evangelical parish of Vierthäler in the church district of Koblenz of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland .
Since 2002, St. Peter's Church has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley , and it is also a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention
St. Peter represents the Rhenish transitional style in Bacharach . The church was built from 1230 to 1269 as a three-aisled gallery basilica and renovated at the end of the 19th century. Despite the largely Romanesque construction, the four-storey wall elevation was based on the early Gothic of French church building, which was often taken as a model at this time, especially in the Rhineland. From 1194 until the Reformation, St. Peter belonged to the Andreas Monastery in Cologne . The monastery provided the pastor and was responsible for ecclesiastical jurisdiction in the four valley area, which was based in the old Kurkölnisches Saalhofhad opposite the church. In 1810, the French administration demolished the Saalhof , and today the Altkölnische Saal occupies the site.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJ2A2T - Bacharach (pronunciation (help·info), also known as Bacharach am Rhein) is a town in the Mainz-Bingen district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Rhein-Nahe, whose seat is in Bingen am Rhein, although that town is not within its bounds.
The original name Baccaracus suggests a Celtic origin. Above the town stands Stahleck Castle (Burg Stahleck), now a youth hostel.
Geography
Location
The town lies in the Rhine Gorge, 48 km south of Koblenz.
Constituent communities
Bacharach is divided into several Ortsteile. The outlying centre of Steeg lies in the Steeg Valley (Steeger Tal) off to the side, away from the Rhine. This glen lies between Medenscheid and Neurath to the south and Henschhausen to the north on the heights.
History
In the early 11th century, Bacharach had its first documentary mention. It may have been that as early as the 7th century, the kingly domain passed into Archbishop of Cologne Kunibert's ownership
pointing to this is a Kunibertskapelle (chapel) on the spot where now stands the Wernerkapelle. The Vögte of the Cologne estate were the Elector of the Palatinate, who over time pushed back Cologne's influence.

Made at Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG in 2022, this photograph records a real place and moment, preserving details that may later be altered by redevelopment, rebranding, changing ownership or different public use. At the centre of the view is Panorama of The museum of Liverpool Life, at the Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK, L3 1DG. Other connected aspects include conservation architecture, historic frontage, public realm, tourism retail, conservation interest, period detail, British seaside culture, social history, everyday life, before-and-after reference, regional identity, architectural detailing, seaside souvenir, and changing streetscape. Today's relevance is strengthened by seasonality, heritage attractions and the continuing question of the vulnerability of resort economies to seasonality and changing visitor habits. From a 2025-onward perspective, redevelopment pressure and maintenance are closely linked to this subject, alongside the tension between conservation and redevelopment. Future viewers can use this scene from Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG to compare landscape treatment and surrounding development with whatever follows after refurbishment. The subject also sits alongside changing land use, historic townscape, place identity, documentary photography, traditional structure, period streetscape, traditional confectionery, and historical comparison.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02F7 - King's Cross railway station, also known as London King's Cross, is a passenger railway terminus in the London Borough of Camden, on the edge of Central London. It is in the London station group, one of the busiest stations in the United Kingdom and the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line to North East England and Scotland. Adjacent to King's Cross station is St Pancras International, the London terminus for Eurostar services to continental Europe. Beneath both main line stations is King's Cross St Pancras tube station on the London Underground
combined they form one of the country's largest transport hubs.
The station was opened in Kings Cross in 1852 by the Great Northern Railway on the northern edge of Central London to accommodate the East Coast Main Line. Famous services were the Flying Scotsman and locomotives such as Mallard.
The £500 million restoration plan announced by Network Rail in 2005 was approved by Camden London Borough Council in 2007. It involved restoring and reglazing the original arched train shed roof and removing the 1972 extension at the front of the station and replacing it with an open-air plaza

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RF7M10 - 40 homeless people, a New York street artist and two local creatives create a massive Manchester mural
The Doodle on Ducie Street has been created to launch the inaugural International Arts and Homelessness Summit and Festival
The mural, The Doodle on Ducie Street, has been created to launch the inaugural International Arts and Homelessness Summit and Festival in November which aims to raise awareness of homelessness and support homeless people.
We had almost 40 artists working on this and we came together just one week ago, said street artist and activist Joel.
It's been an intense week. We got together and asked what we could create that would represent everyone and what message or story we wanted to tell. Everyone made sketches and we made a composition, then each day we came out and worked on it.
Now the wall is a wondrous array of colour, inspired by Joel's signature style, designed to encourage conversation “ perfect for the upcoming festival.
The unique creative team was organised with the help of With One Voice, an organisation which sets out to tackle homelessness in a creative way.
Everyone came together and decided what was important to them. We came up with this concept of the guy on the mural, he's flying through the air from challenges in his life to a brighter future, said With One Voice director, Matt Peacock.
It's been an amazing experience, says Matt. We were really conscious that we were putting this piece of public art in the centre of Manchester, where homelessness has been on the rise. For many years people would rightly say, ˜why art?'
And the reasons for that, which I hope you can see, are so many things “ it's about personal and societal regeneration, it's about telling a different story about homelessness, and giving a voice to people who are and have been homeless to say what they want to say to the public.
The artists have found the experience a boost to their confidence.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HEJ6K3 - The Black Friar Pub. Post-1903 work by Herbert Fuller-Clark (b.1869, d. after 1912). Original building 1875. Remodelled in several stages beginning 1903, 1914, and 1925. 174 Queen Victoria Street, London EC4. Individual sculptures by Nathaniel Hitch, Frederick Callcott, Henry Poole, and Farmer and Brindley. According to Philip Ward-Jackson,
Hitch was responsible for the stonework grotesques on the exterior, and for a considerable amount of similar work in wood in the interior. Callcott created the pattern for the larger copper relief scenes, representing the day to day activities of the friars. . . . It seems probable that Callcott went on working on those reliefs until shortly before his death in 1925, when the rather more prestigious Henry Poole took over, to produce the relief work in the Small Saloon Bar. One of Callcott's frieze-like panels, entitled Saturday Afternoon, was to be repeated on the screen wall, separating the Luncheon Bar from the Small Saloon Bar, although it looks quite different in its new form, because the figures are much more widely spaced out, and the coloured marbles in the second rendering give it more depth.
Of these artists, Hitch (1841-1935), deserves to be better known. Following an apprenticeship to Farmer and Brindley, he had a very long and distinguished career as a sculptor: his work can be found at Cardiff Castle, suggesting that he was probably a member of William Burges's workforce there, and also in many churches and cathedrals including Truro Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. He was particularly associated with the architects W. D. Caröe and J. L. Pearson.
It is worth noting that the popular London Encyclopaedia disagrees about the dates and artists involved here, stating simply that the building was erected in 1875, the ground floor being remodelled in 1905 by H. Fuller Clark. The outside is covered with mosaics and carved figures by Henry Poole (1903).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDEYW3 - Since the onset of the Troubles in 1971, Nationalist and Loyalist communities throughout Northern Ireland have been divided by Peace Walls. These large stone and steel constructions were designed to protect neighbourhoods from sporadic attacks and retain a sense of peace and protection.
Of the city's 17 walls, West Belfast's sections are the most visited. Once in the area it's easy to determine which side of the divide you're on: red, white and blue kerbstones, Loyalist murals and Union Jacks indicate you're on the Shankill. If the kerbs are green, white and gold, the flag is Irish and the murals are Republican, you're on the Falls.
You can cross from one side to the other via access roads at Lanark Way and Northumberland Street. These roads close in times of heightened tension, which may well be the case during the marching season (see The Twelfth).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXGCM - The Albert Dock is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses in Liverpool, England. Designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, it was opened in 1846, and was the first structure in Britain to be built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. As a result, it was the first non-combustible warehouse system in the world.
At the time of its construction the Albert Dock was considered a revolutionary docking system because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from/to the warehouses. Two years after it opened it was modified to feature the world's first hydraulic cranes. Due to its open yet secure design, the Albert Dock became a popular store for valuable cargoes such as brandy, cotton, tea, silk, tobacco, ivory and sugar. However, despite the Albert Dock's advanced design, the rapid development of shipping technology meant that within 50 years, larger, more open docks were required, although it remained a valuable store for cargo.
During the Second World War, the Albert Dock was requisitioned by the Admiralty serving as a base for boats of the British Atlantic Fleet. The complex was damaged during air raids on Liverpool, notably during the May Blitz of 1941. In the aftermath of the war, the financial problems of the owners and the general decline of docking in the city meant that the future of the Albert Dock was uncertain. Numerous plans were developed for the re-use of the buildings but none came to fruition and in 1972 the dock was finally closed. Having lain derelict for nearly ten years, the redevelopment of the dock began in 1981, when the Merseyside Development Corporation was set up, with the Albert Dock being officially re-opened in 1984.
Today the Albert Dock is a major tourist attraction in the city and the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom, outside of London. It is a vital component of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City and the docking complex.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F0XDWK - The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor) is an 18th-century neoclassical triumphal arch in Berlin, and one of the best-known landmarks of Germany. It is built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel.
It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin, at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building. The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, the renowned boulevard of linden trees, which formerly led directly to the city palace of the Prussian monarchs.
It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by Carl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791. Having suffered considerable damage in World War II, the Brandenburg Gate was fully restored from 2000 to 2002 by the Stiftung Denkmalschutz Berlin (Berlin Monument Conservation Foundation).
During the post-war Partition of Germany, the gate was isolated and inaccessible immediately next to the Berlin Wall, and the area around the gate was featured most prominently in the media coverage of the tearing down of the wall in 1989.
Throughout its existence, the Brandenburg Gate was often a site for major historical events and is today considered a symbol of the tumultuous history of Europe and Germany, but also of European unity and peace.

Station to Station is the tenth studio album by English musician David Bowie, released by RCA Records in 1976. Commonly regarded as one of his most significant works, Station to Station is also notable as the vehicle for Bowie's last great 'character', The Thin White Duke.
The album was recorded after he completed shooting Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth, and the cover featured a still from the movie. During the sessions Bowie was heavily dependent on drugs, especially cocaine, and recalls almost nothing of the production.
Musically, Station to Station was a transitional album for Bowie, developing the funk and soul music of his previous release, Young Americans, while presenting a new direction towards synthesisers and motorik rhythms that was influenced by German electronic bands such as Kraftwerk and Neu!.
This trend would culminate in some of his most acclaimed work, the so-called Berlin Trilogy, recorded with Brian Eno in 1977\u201379. Bowie himself has said that Station to Station was 'a plea to come back to Europe for me'. The album\u2019s lyrics, meanwhile, reflected his preoccupations with Nietzsche, Aleister Crowley, mythology and religion.
With its blend of funk and Krautrock, romantic balladry and occultism, Station to Station has been described as 'simultaneously one of Bowie's most accessible albums and his most impenetrable'. Featuring the single 'Golden Years', it made the Top 5 in both the UK and US charts. In 2003, the album was ranked number 323 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
In the early days of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway (L&
MR), the Liverpool terminus was located at Crown Street, in Edge Hill, officially opened in 1830. Construction of a purpose-built station began in October 1833, the land being purchased from Liverpool Corporation for \u00a39000. A tunnel was constructed between Edge Hill and the new station (starting in 1832, prior to station construction), and the station was opened to the public in August 1836, although construction was not completed until the following year.
Because of the steep incline between Lime Street and Edge Hill, trains were stopped at Edge Hill, their locomotives removed, and the passenger carriages taken down by gravity, descent controlled by brakemen. The return journey was achieved by using a stationary engine to haul the carriages up with rope.
Within six years, the rapid growth of the railways meant that the original station needed to be extended, and a plan was made to erect an iron roof similar to that found at Euston station in London, ridge roofs supported by iron columns
however, Richard Turner and William Fairburn submitted a design for a single curved roof, which won the approval of the station committee. The work cost \u00a315,000, and was completed in 1849. A second roof was added in the 1880s.
In 1845 the L&
MR was absorbed by its principal business partner, the Grand Junction Railway (GJR)
the following year the GJR formed part of the London and North Western Railway. The station was one of the first to send mail by train. The North Western Hotel designed by Alfred Waterhouse, was built in front of the station - this still stands, having been converted to accommodation for students of Liverpool John Moores University. At 'the grouping' in 1923, the station passed to the ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish (LMS) railway, and, in 1948, the London Midland Region of British Railways.
Lime Street was part of the first stage of electrification of the West Coast Main Line in 1959. In 1966, the station saw the launch of the first InterCity service.
Lime Street was voted the equal worst of the 20 busiest UK railway stations in a 2007 poll but was voted 'Station of the Year 2010' at the National Rail Awards thanks in part to a recent reburbishment

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF243X - . A First bus at a bus shelter, North Bridge St Edinburgh. Evening shot taken as panorama. City public transport. Photographed on 20 August 2010. The recorded location is North Bridge St, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. As background, everyday journeys depend on an evolving network of vehicles, stops, stations and roads
Buses, cars, ferries and trams can become historical subjects within a few years as operators rebrand, fleets are replaced and infrastructure is rebuilt. The wider historical story is that seasonal and low-light photography can emphasise the relationship between natural conditions and the built environment
Dusk, snow, mist or dramatic cloud often reveal lighting, silhouettes and reflective surfaces that are less apparent in ordinary daylight. Against the 2026 backdrop, transport is undergoing a gradual shift towards lower-emission vehicles, better public-transport integration and active travel
Older buses, cars and infrastructure therefore help illustrate both continuity and technological transition. In the present 2026 context, landscape imagery is increasingly used alongside discussion of climate, resilience, tourism and development
Older panoramas can show how skylines, waterfronts and vegetation have changed over a comparatively short period. From a heritage perspective, mobility is shaped by both technology and policy
Images of vehicles and transport infrastructure record changing design, accessibility, fuel use, ownership patterns and the ways towns organise movement. Looking at the subject's development, transport images are time capsules of technology and everyday mobility
Vehicle models, liveries, ticketing, road layouts and passenger behaviour change quickly, so photographs can chart the transition between generations of public and private transport. Other closely matched search terms include passenger transport, transport history, urban transport, sustainable transport, commuter, road transport, and transport policy.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4653781013 - 'Albert Square is a public square in the centre of Manchester, England. It is dominated by its largest building, Manchester Town Hall Grade I, a Victorian Gothic building by Alfred Waterhouse and previously in the opposite corner by the Square Albert, a Tetleys pub.
Albert Memorial, a monument to Prince Albert, Prince consort of Queen Victoria is in the square. The square, also named after the Prince, was originally laid out to provide a space for this memorial in 1863\u201367. Work on the new town hall began in 1868 and was completed in 1877. On the top of the clock tower is a golden cotton seed, the symbol of teh source of Manchester City and its cottonopolis prosperity.
The creation of the square arose out of a project by Manchester Corporation's Monuments Committee to erect a memorial to Prince Albert who had unexpectedly died of typhoid in 1861. After some initial proposals to create a memorial library, museum or botanical gardens, the committee decided to erect a statue in a decorated canopy. It was originally planned to place the monument in Piccadilly Gardens, but it was felt that its ornate design was not in keeping with the surrounding buildings. In 1863, land was offered by the Corporation which was cleared to make way for a public space.
The project won much public support
the Manchester Bricklayers' Protection Society donated 50,000 bricks towards the construction of the monument, 'as an expression of sympathy towards our beloved Queen'. When construction problems arose (the site was found to be riddled with drains and culverts) and these bricks were used up on the foundations alone, a further public subscription was launched in 1865 and a further \u00a36,249 was raised, in spite of the hardships of the Cotton Famine.
The Memorial is topped with an ornate spire, and on each side a crocketed gable with canopied pinnacles on colonettes. Within the canopies stand symbolic figures representing art, commerce, science and agriculture. Below these stand secondary figures representing particular disciplines
The Four Arts: painting, architecture, music, sculpture
Commerce: the Four Continents
The Four Sciences: chemistry, astronomy, mechanics, mathematics
Agriculture: the Four Seasons.
In the town hall, despite its medieval styling, the building was designed to support the practical technologies of the 19th century. These included gas lighting, and a warm-air heating system, which provided fresh air drawn through ornamental stone air inlets placed below the windows and admitted behind the hot water pipes and 'coils' of rooms. Warmed, fresh air was also fed into the stairwells and through hollow shafts within the spiral staircases in order to ventilate the corridors. The pipes that supplied the gas for the lighting were ingeniously concealed underneath the banister rails of the spiral staircases.
While not quite as grand as the hotel de ville in Brussels or similar buildings in Europe, the town hall in Manchester proclaimed that the city had 'arrived'. A saying capturing this sense of innovation survives today: 'What Manchester does today, the rest of the world does tomorrow. Although I do not think they were in fact refering to Bez of the Happy Mondays when they coined that :-)

Visable from across the city, Calton Hill is the venue for events at various times in the year. The Beltane Fire Festival every April (30th of the month) each year is popular and generally attracts over 10,000 people.. This is a revival of the ancient Celtic May Day festival of Beltane. The Dussehra Hindu Festival has also been held the last few years in early October.
On the hill are a number of interesting structures. These include Governors House, the original site of Calton Jail, the National Monument, Nelson's Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument, the New Parliament House (the Royal High School), the Robert Burns Monument, the Political Martyrs' Monument and the City Observatory. It is worth a walk up to it from Princes St. Follow the confusingly named Calton Hill lane up from the shopping centre.

These important architectural landmarks are:
The Royal Liver Building, built between 1908 and 1911 and designed by Walter Aubrey Thomas. It is a grade I listed building consisting of two clock towers, both crowned by mythical Liver Birds. The building is the headquarters of the Royal Liver Friendly Society. Now Deutsche Bank.
The Cunard Building, constructed between 1914 and 1916 and a grade II* listed building. It is the former headquarters of the Cunard Line shipping company.
The Port of Liverpool Building, built from 1903 to 1907 and also grade II* listed. It is the former home of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board.
Added to this left and right is the new Beatles exhiition and the museum of Liverpool life.
Work commenced in 2007 to build a canal link between the Leeds-Liverpool Canal and the South Docks. The \u00a322 million pound 1.6 mile extension to the Leeds-Liverpool Canal was officially opened on 25 March 2009. It opens to boaters at the end of April and links the 127 miles of the existing canal to the city\u2019s South Docks, passing Pier Head and the famous Three Graces. The Pier Head was in this form for the 2008 city of culture celebrations.
At first, the Prince's Landing Stage was situated at the Pier Head to serve the trans-Atlantic liner service. There were many stages built during Liverpool's history, the most recent opened in the 1890s and was joined to the neighbouring George's Landing Stage, situated to the south. After further lengthening took place in the early twentieth century, the combined structure originally measured nearly 3,000 feet, almost half a mile. Both were scrapped in 1973, following the termination of trans-Atlantic services from Liverpool.
In the three years or so I worked in Liverpool, Pier Head served as a major bus interchange. There was also a very poor Beefeater / Berni Inn pub at the Pier head too, where the Beatles exhibition is today.

The image was assembled from about 15 prints taken from different viewpoints one autumn afternoon, in the style of a David Hockney joiner. The Liverpool waterfront is an iconic cityscape and here is shown in the warm afternoon setting sunlight.
A 80mm or shallower lens will have been used here. To get the whole of these really impressive listed buildings (national treasures some would say) in would take a 14mm or wider, and cause much distortion).
An old merseybus double decker adds a bit of an every day feel to it. Although not as iconic as a red routemaster London bus, for a long time it was a mode of transport that marked Liverpool out.
While I lived there, if a bus had not arrived by the time seven taxi's had passed, that was time to take the eigth taxi. (Even if you had already paid \u00a34.10 for your MerseyTravel card).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXJGE - National Museums Scotland was formed by Act of Parliament in 1985 , amalgamating the former National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland and The Royal Scottish Museum. The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, was formed in 2006 with the merger of the new Museum of Scotland, with collections relating to Scottish antiquities, culture and history, and the adjacent Royal Museum (so renamed in 1995), with collections covering science and technology, natural history, and world cultures.
The two connected buildings stand beside each other on Chambers Street, by the intersection with the George IV Bridge, in central Edinburgh. The museum is part of National Museums Scotland. Admission is free.
The two buildings retain distinctive characters: the Museum of Scotland is housed in a modern building opened in 1998, while the former Royal Museum building was begun in 1861, and partially opened in 1866, with a Victorian Romanesque Revival facade and a grand central hall of cast iron construction that rises the full height of the building. This building reopened on 29 July 2011 after a £47 million project to restore and extend the building, and redesign the exhibitions (by Ralph Appelbaum).
The National Museum incorporates the collections of the former National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland, and the Royal Museum. As well as the main national collections of Scottish archaeological finds and medieval objects, the museum contains artifacts from around the world, encompassing geology, archaeology, natural history, science, technology and art. The 16 new galleries reopened in 2011 include 8,000 objects, 80 per cent of which were not formerly on display.
One of the more notable exhibits is the stuffed body of Dolly the sheep, the first successful clone of a mammal from an adult cell. Other highlights include Ancient Egyptian exhibitions, one of Elton John's extravagant suits and a large kinetic sculpture named the Millennium Clock.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RGGE0C - The Roman Theatre in Mainz, Rhineland Palatinate (ancient Mogontiacum) was excavated in the late 1990s. It is located immediately next to the Mainz Römisches Theater station and was once the largest Roman theatre north of the Alps, with a diameter of 116 metres, a stage-width of 42 metres, and a capacity of roughly ten thousand people.
Mogontiacum owed its significance to its location at the meeting point of the Main and the Rhine. The city provided a convenient base for the defense of the nearby border of the Roman empire, the limes, and for the organisation of military campaigns against the Germanii. As a result, a double legionary camp was built on the site in 13/12 BC, which remained in place until some time after AD 350.
Over time a civilian settlement (Latin vicus) also developed on the site, which became the provincial capital of the newly created province of Germania Superior around AD 80. In this city, a Roman theatre was built, which was probably closely associated with the funerary games held in honour of Drusus. From 9 BC, military parades (decursio militum) were held in honour of Drusus at his cenotaph, the Drususstein, which was only 340 metres away from the theatre. Accordingly, the Roman theatre may have been used for the thanksgiving ceremony (supplicatio) by the representations of the sixty local Gallic communities (Galliarum civitates) in honour of Drusus. Suetonius mentions a theatre at Mogontiacum in his account of events in AD 39. Probably the currently visible stone structure was preceded by an earlier structure in wood.
The theatre was the largest Roman theatre north of the Alps, seating some 10,000 visitors. The diameter of the seating area is 116 metres and the diameter of the orchestra in 42 metres. After the construction of the city wall in the middle of the fourth century AD, for which stone from the theatre was used, the theatre was left outside the walled area and fell into ruin. More and more of the stone from the theatre was take

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HDM13X - The peace lines or peace walls are a series of border barriers in Northern Ireland that separate Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods. They have been built at urban interface areas in Belfast, Derry, Portadown and elsewhere. The stated purpose of the peace lines is to minimise inter-communal violence between Catholics (most of whom are nationalists who self-identify as Irish) and Protestants (most of whom are unionists who self-identify as British).
The peace lines range in length from a few hundred yards to over three miles (5 km). They may be made of iron, brick, and/or steel and are up to 25 feet (7.6 m) high. Some have gates in them (sometimes staffed by police) that allow passage during daylight but are closed at night.
The most prominent peace lines in the past few years separate the nationalist Falls Road and unionist Shankill Road areas of West Belfast
the Catholic Short Strand from the Protestant Cluan Place areas of East Belfast
and the Protestant Fountain estate and Catholic Bishop Street area of Derry.
In 2008, a public discussion began about how and when the peace lines could be removed. While, on 1 September 2011, Belfast City Council agreed to develop a strategy regarding the removal of peace walls, a study was released in 2012 indicating that 69% of residents believe that the peace walls are still necessary because of potential violence. At the end of 2011, several local community initiatives resulted in the opening of a number of interface structures for a trial period.
In January 2012, the International Fund for Ireland launched a Peace Walls funding programme to support local communities who want to work towards beginning to remove the peace walls. In May 2013, the Northern Ireland Executive committed to the removal of all peace lines by mutual consent by 2023.
