Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4M43 - . Stop Cock Wigan, Wigan, England, UK. Photographed on 6 May 2026. The recorded location is Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, UK. For the story of regeneration, it is useful to note 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. For present-day regeneration, 2026 is significant 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. Useful alternative terminology includes local history, place identity, townscape, streetscape, community history, local landmark, neighbourhood, urban change, local character, public realm, historic comparison, town centre, local heritage, Lancs, 255A9122, urban, heritage, tourism, and editorial. The historical setting for place-making is that local place names and small landmarks can be as important to community history as nationally famous buildings
Streets, neighbourhood businesses and informal attractions provide reference points that may vanish during redevelopment or rebranding. Seen through local heritage, the earlier context is that town and neighbourhood images record the accumulation of ordinary change: road layouts, shop names, signage, public art and building uses
Their value increases when compared over decades because apparently minor details can become the clearest evidence of transformation. For townscape, the historical context 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. Its wider context brings together local history, place identity and townscape. A further layer of meaning comes from place identity, townscape and streetscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PG69GJ - Joseph Holt is a brewery in Manchester, England founded in 1849. Holts claim to be the only brewery still selling beer in 54 gallon hogshead barrels.
Joseph Holt operates around 130 houses including traditional pubs, restaurants and hotels.
Joseph Holt, the son of a weaver, was born in 1813 in Unsworth, a textile village near Bury. He worked as a carter at Harrison's Strangeways Brewery. In 1849 he married Catherine Parry, who helped finance a small brewery behind a pub on Oak Street, Manchester.
In 1860, he purchased the brewery site on Empire Street, Cheetham. His reputation in Manchester endures
in 2007, readers of the Manchester Evening News voted him People's Champion in the Greatest ever Business Leaders awards. In 1882, by which time he had established a chain of 20 public houses, Joseph passed control of the brewery to his son Edward. Edward Holt was later knighted, served as Lord Mayor of Manchester for 1907-09 and made a baronet in 1916. He died in 1928 and the company passed to his son, Edward
it is still in the hands of the same family.
For more than thirty years, Peter Kershaw, a former rackets and real tennis champion and a notoriously frugal man, was chairman of the brewery. His son, Richard Kershaw, the great grandson of the founder, joined him on the board in 1980 and, since the death of his father in 2000, is the chief executive.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A9GHY6 - A sundial is a device that tells the time of day when there is sunlight by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky. In the narrowest sense of the word, it consists of a flat plate (the dial) and a gnomon, which casts a shadow onto the dial. As the Sun appears to move across the sky, the shadow aligns with different hour-lines, which are marked on the dial to indicate the time of day. The style is the time-telling edge of the gnomon, though a single point or nodus may be used. The gnomon casts a broad shadow
the shadow of the style shows the time. The gnomon may be a rod, wire, or elaborately decorated metal casting. The style must be parallel to the axis of the Earth's rotation for the sundial to be accurate throughout the year. The style's angle from horizontal is equal to the sundial's geographical latitude.
In a broader sense, a sundial is any device that uses the Sun's altitude or azimuth (or both) to show the time. In addition to their time-telling function, sundials are valued as decorative objects, literary metaphors, and objects of intrigue and mathematical study.
A rudimentary sundial can be easily constructed to mark the passing of time by placing a stick in the sand or a nail in a board and placing markers at the edge of a shadow or outlining a shadow at intervals. It is common for inexpensive, mass-produced decorative sundials to have incorrectly aligned gnomons, shadow lengths, and hour-lines, which cannot be adjusted to tell correct time
