Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1NK7H - . Made at the recorded location 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. The location is represented through South West England NIMBY - Not in my back yard, like BANANA - Build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything. Other connected aspects include arable farming, everyday life, British agriculture, historic townscape, local history, urban regeneration, period detail, food supply chain, archival record, grain harvest, barley cultivation, public-realm investment, rural economy, and before-and-after reference. Current relevance extends to climate change and farm costs, particularly through the pressure on farmers from energy, fertiliser and machinery costs. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into housing pressure and commercial viability, not least because of the value of reusing existing buildings rather than wholesale demolition. As a dated visual record of the recorded location, the frame retains lettering, decoration and surface detail, making it especially useful if changed technology subsequently changes the scene. A second descriptive layer includes field crop, social history, farm produce, civic architecture, built heritage, changing land use, period architecture, and summer fieldwork. Elements such as absolutely, nothing, BANANA, anything, and NIMBY add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. The period setting at the recorded location helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. Another useful connection is climate change and the pressure on farmers from energy, fertiliser and machinery costs without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The frame retains a local visual benchmark for future local research.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K1NK83 - . Recorded at the recorded location 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 South West England NIMBY - Not in my back yard, like BANANA - Build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything. The surrounding context encompasses summer fieldwork, town-centre renewal, historical comparison, farm produce, place identity, grain harvest, commercial redevelopment, urban regeneration, social story.htm Target=_Blank>history, urban fabric, everyday life, architectural character, public realm, and community identity. The wider contemporary story combines crop yields, agricultural policy and the pressure on farmers from energy, fertiliser and machinery costs. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with planning, town-centre regeneration and how public investment can reshape pedestrian movement and evening activity. Future viewers can use this scene from the recorded location to compare landscape treatment and surrounding development with whatever follows after new construction. The location also brings in British agriculture, before-and-after reference, cereal crop, public-realm investment, grain quality, period architecture, adaptive reuse, and regional identity. Elements such as anywhere, absolutely, NIMBY, Build, and BANANA add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. For the recorded location, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. Another useful connection is crop yields and the relationship between rural landscapes and national food security without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The image fixes evidence of earlier appearance within the wider story of the recorded location. It also preserves period character as part of the recorded location's history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPF7HP - Venton's Devon Cyder History
Real Cyder has been made in the traditional way from our East Devon orchards at Clyst St Lawrence for at least the past 100 years that we know of. Looking at old maps of the local area it's probably much longer than that and the documented history of Devon Cyder extends to more like 300 - 400 years.
Whiteways Orchard Heritage
The famous Whiteways Devon Cyder Company were based 2 miles from us and for nearly a century, the orchards surrounding us were nurtured and used to make their Devon Cyder. Famously Whiteways exported thousands of gallons of Cyder to America during the post-prohibition era. In it's heyday the orchards at Whimple were known to be the most extensive in the world. Whiteway's closed in 1985 due to the decline in popularity and the factory land was sold of for housing. The orchards, including our own became redundant for many years but have now, thankfully found a new lease of life due to the renewed interest in Real Cyder.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JKB6HM - Golden Hind was a galleon captained by Francis Drake in his circumnavigation of the world between 1577 and 1580. She was originally known as Pelican, but Drake renamed her mid-voyage in 1578, in honour of his patron, Sir Christopher Hatton, whose crest was a golden hind (a female red deer). Hatton was one of the principal sponsors of Drake's world voyage. A full-sized, seaworthy reconstruction is in London, on the south bank of the Thames.
Golden Hinde, a full-size reconstruction of the ship, was built by traditional methods in Appledore, Devon, and launched in 1973. Golden Hinde was the result of three years' research and construction. Since then, she has travelled more than 140,000 miles (225,000 km). She sailed from Plymouth on her maiden voyage in late 1974, arriving on 8 May 1975 in San Francisco. In 1979, she sailed to Japan to make the miniseries Shōgun, after which she returned to the UK having completed a circumnavigation. Between 1981 and 1984, she was berthed in England and was established as an educational museum. In 198485, she sailed around the British Isles and then crossed the Atlantic to St Thomas in the Caribbean. In 1986, she passed through the Panama Canal to sail on to Vancouver, where she was the main attraction in the Marine Plaza at Expo86. In 1987, she began a tour of US coastal cities, spending two years on the Pacific coast. In late 1988, she passed back through the Panama Canal to continue port visits on the Gulf and east coasts of the US. In 1992, she returned home to the UK and spent the next four years visiting ports in Europe. Since 1996, she has been berthed at St Mary Overie Dock, in Bankside, Southwark, London, where she is open to the public and hosts a range of educational programmes

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7MF1 - Buckfast Tonic Wine, commonly known as Buckfast or Buckie, is a fortified wine with caffeine, licensed from Buckfast Abbey in Devon and distributed by J. Chandler & Company in the United Kingdom and Grants of Ireland in Ireland.
The drink has become a subject of controversy in Scotland due to its links with ned culture
a senior politician labelled it as a badge of pride amongst those who are involved in antisocial behaviour.
Buckfast is very popular in Scotland, the sales of the product were monitored in 2014 by the Scottish government to see if the Buckfast Triangle still stood. The test showed that the towns and cities where Buckfast was sold highest per capita were, in order, Glasgow and the surrounding areas, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Cambuslang, and Coatbridge, all of which are in the northern areas of Lanarkshire, excepting Glasgow.
Several Scottish politicians and social activists have singled out Buckfast Tonic Wine as being particularly responsible for crime, disorder, and general social deprivation in these communities. Although Buckfast accounts for only 0.5% of alcohol sales in Scotland, the figure is markedly higher in Lanarkshire. Helen Liddell, former Secretary of State for Scotland, called for the wine to be banned. In 2005, Scottish Justice Minister Cathy Jamieson suggested that retailers should stop selling the wine. On a subsequent visit to Auchinleck within her constituency, she was greeted by teenagers chanting, Don't ban Buckie. Jamieson then received correspondence from lawyers acting for Buckfast distributors, J. Chandler & Company, in Andover. A further consequence was that Buckfast sales increased substantially in the months following Jamieson's comments

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3871489578 - 'Interesting little 15th century church in the town on the river Mole. There is a North Molton too.
The area has battle form.
On 14 March 1655 Sir John Penruddock was captured after a three-hour street fight in South Molton by soldiers of the New Model Army under the command of Captain Unton Crook. With his capture the Penruddock uprising came to an end and so did the 1655 plans of the Sealed Knot to restore King Charles II to the throne of England.
It is a small, well built market town trading mostly in sheep and cattle. Situated on the southern side of Exmoor just off the North Devon link road.

Typefaces, colours and wording can identify an era, organisation or local custom, making close photographs valuable for social, transport and commercial history. Historically, security signage is a small but revealing part of organisational history, documenting who was permitted to enter a place, how identity was checked and how sensitive areas were protected before today's networked access-control systems. In the longer view, britain's railways reshaped towns, industry and passenger travel from the nineteenth century onwards, creating a dense network of stations, goods yards, signalling infrastructure and long-distance routes
Surviving buildings, signs and operating equipment now document both railway heritage and continuing public transport. Against the 2026 backdrop, digital wayfinding is widespread, but physical signage remains essential for safety, accessibility and identity
Historic notices and ghost signs are also increasingly appreciated as part of the character of streets and buildings. In 2026, security increasingly combines physical controls with digital identity, cybersecurity and electronic access management
Earlier pass notices provide a useful contrast with smart cards, mobile credentials and biometric systems while retaining their original institutional context. From a heritage perspective, 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. Useful alternative terminology includes lettering, typography, public information, warning sign, and visual communication.
