Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FCG4EY - . A playful 'Draw Your Best Pineapple' blackboard on Witton Street formed part of the Northwich Pina Colada Festival atmosphere in August 2026. The free town-centre event took place on 22 August and used pineapples, Caribbean-inspired entertainment, music, street performance, cocktails and alcohol-free mocktails to create a deliberately tropical identity in Cheshire. The unlikely theme has become a useful piece of place marketing, encouraging visitors to move between local pubs, bars, cafes and shops rather than attending a fenced ticketed venue. Small details such as public chalkboards, knitted decorations and pineapple displays turn the whole centre into part of the event. This image captures the community and participatory side of festivals: visitors are invited to add drawings rather than simply consume entertainment. It also illustrates how Business Improvement Districts, councils and local traders increasingly use quirky themed events to generate footfall, social-media content and repeat visits at a time when traditional shopping alone is often insufficient to sustain town centres. The image can be read as part of a broader visual history of the North West and the changing functions of its town centres and suburbs. Relevant search and editorial concepts include Northwich, Mid Cheshire, Cheshire West and Chester, town centre, Witton Street, River Weaver, salt town, regeneration, local history, public realm, high street, community, Cheshire. Useful descriptive vocabulary for archive discovery includes Northwich, Pina, Colada, Festival, pineapple, chalkboard, drawing, Caribbean, festival, Witton, Street, free, event, cocktails, mocktails, Cheshire, town, centre, tourism. As a visual record it preserves ordinary details that formal reports often omit, including the condition, presentation and day-to-day setting of the subject at the time of photography. Its value is strongest when used with precise place and date information,

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F511A6 - A freestanding promotional panel for Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero stands inside Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham, West Midlands. The poster features a large portrait of Ozzy Osbourne dressed in black beneath the distinctive Ozzy Osbourne logo and the words WORKING CLASS HERO. Visitors can be seen beyond the sign among illuminated display cases and exhibition galleries beneath the museum's high arched interior. The free exhibition opened on 25 June 2025 and was created to celebrate the solo achievements, global awards and career of Birmingham rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, together with album artwork connected with the original Black Sabbath line-up. It was timed to coincide with the historic Black Sabbath homecoming and Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park on 5 July 2025, when Osbourne performed with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. Ozzy Osbourne, born in Aston, Birmingham, in 1948, became internationally famous as the vocalist and frontman of Black Sabbath before establishing a hugely successful solo career. His career and the band's industrial Birmingham roots became central to the city's reputation as the birthplace of heavy metal. Osbourne died on 22 July 2025 aged 76, after which the exhibition also became an important place for fans to remember and celebrate his life and musical legacy. Birmingham Museums subsequently extended Working Class Hero because of public demand, with the exhibition scheduled to remain on display until 27 September 2026. The museum presentation includes awards, memorabilia and material reflecting Osbourne's solo career and the artwork of the original Black Sabbath era. The photograph records the prominent Working Class Hero publicity display within the museum, with members of the public moving through the gallery behind it. This is an indoor scene, so no sky or outdoor weather conditions are visible.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ENF26E - Southway Housing's free clothing and household store for residents at Southern Gate, 729 Princess Road, Manchester, M20 2LT. The subject is useful for illustrating practical tenant support by a community-based housing association in South Manchester, including help for people on low incomes, social housing residents, council housing tenants, families setting up or sustaining a tenancy, people affected by the cost of living, and residents needing clothing, household goods or basic essentials. Southway Housing describes itself as a community-focused housing association with more than 6,500 homes across Greater Manchester, while its contact information gives Southern Gate on Princess Road as its office address. Manchester's local advice directory also describes Southway as a community-based provider and social enterprise working in and around South Manchester, with support and advice services to help tenants maintain tenancies, manage household bills and debts and access other agencies. This makes the image relevant to editorial features on social housing, charitable help, tenancy sustainment, welfare support, poverty prevention, household budgeting, resident engagement, neighbourhood services and practical community assistance. The location on Princess Road in Didsbury places the service within a busy South Manchester corridor, making it suitable for stories about local authority housing transfer legacy, housing association customer services, tenant hardship, reuse of donated goods, circular economy, community resilience and the role of landlords beyond rent collection and repairs. Keywords and captions can connect the image with wider themes such as food and fuel poverty, furniture poverty, clothing banks, cost-of-living pressure, anti-poverty support, resident wellbeing, sustainable reuse, public service partnerships and the everyday social value delivered by not-for-profit housing providers.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3ERK660 - A giant WeAreWarrington BID deckchair stands on the lawn in front of the famous Golden Gates at Warrington Town Hall during the 2026 Warrington Food and Drink Festival. The bright blue promotional seat carries the festival branding and creates a playful photo opportunity against one of the town's best-known historic landmarks.
The image was taken during the free town-centre festival held on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 May 2026 across Bank Park and the grounds of Warrington Town Hall. The event brought together street-food vendors, artisan producers, drinks businesses and independent traders, alongside live music, demonstrations, workshops and family entertainment. The oversized deckchair reflects the event's informal summer atmosphere and the work of Warrington Business Improvement District in promoting the town centre as a place to visit, shop, eat and spend leisure time.
Behind the chair, the elaborate black and gold entrance gates form a decorative backdrop. Their ornate ironwork, gilded details, sculptural figures and central crest contrast with the modern festival sign. Warrington Town Hall was originally built as Bank Hall in the eighteenth century, while the monumental gates were later brought to the site and became an enduring civic symbol.
Sunshine falls across the grass and metalwork beneath a blue sky filled with white and grey clouds. The composition combines heritage architecture, destination marketing and contemporary event promotion. It shows how a historic municipal setting can host public celebrations, encourage town-centre footfall and support hospitality, independent businesses and the visitor economy.
The photograph also records an example of experiential branding, with the giant deckchair designed to attract attention and encourage visitors to pose and share images. The Food and Drink Festival signage, Town Hall gates and landscaped Bank Park setting clearly identify the event with Warrington, Cheshire, and North West England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EKD7HB - John Bright statue in Manchester city centre, Greater Manchester, England, UK. The white stone figure stands on a tall pedestal against a deep blue sky, commemorating the nineteenth-century British statesman, reformer and prominent campaigner associated with Manchester and the Anti-Corn Law League. The photograph is suitable for editorial coverage of John Bright, Manchester history, political reform, public sculpture, Victorian Britain, statues, civic heritage and city-centre landmarks. Bright was closely connected with the campaign for free trade and parliamentary reform and became one of the best-known radical politicians of his era. The strong upward viewpoint and clear summer light emphasise the monument's form and create a useful heritage image for stories about political history, public memorials, nineteenth-century Manchester and notable figures commemorated in the city's civic spaces.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EENG7T - A Holyrood Nurseries Warrington outdoor banner advertising childcare spaces available, photographed beside grass and a red brick nursery building in the Thelwall and Grappenhall area of Warrington, Cheshire. The green sign carries the Holyrood Nurseries and Thrive Childcare and Education branding, the website thrivechildcare.com and the local telephone number 01925 496955, with a smiling child pictured on the right-hand side. This image is commercially useful for editorial coverage of nursery provision, early years education, childcare vacancies, working parents, family finances and childcare affordability in England. Holyrood Warrington is listed by Thrive Childcare at 237 Thelwall New Road, Grappenhall, Warrington, WA4 2XT, making the photograph relevant to local childcare services in south Warrington and policy stories. The words Childcare Spaces Available connect directly with debates about nursery capacity, funded childcare hours, staff availability, parental work choices and the difficulty of finding places close to home. Government support can include Tax-Free Childcare, where eligible families can receive a top-up worth up to £2,000 a year per child, and Universal Credit childcare support, which can meet up to 85% of eligible costs. These schemes are often presented as help for working families, but the real impact depends on eligibility, provider charges, wraparound costs, opening hours and whether a nursery place is actually available. The photograph can illustrate Labour Government childcare policy, childcare portals, free or funded childcare codes, Tax-Free Childcare accounts, Universal Credit support, early years entitlements, nursery fees, cost of living pressure, parents returning to work and children's services. The low warm sunlight, grass foreground and suburban brick building give the image a clear local documentary feel, while the prominent banner makes it suitable for news, policy, education, business and family finance use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E54TY3 - Editorial photograph of a supermarket No & Low alcohol display showing a dedicated shelf of alcohol-free and low-alcohol drinks marketed as healthier lifestyle alternatives, suitable for shoppers seeking moderation, sober-curious options, reduced alcohol consumption and drinks with broad social appeal. The prominent overhead sign reads No & Low Alcohol, while the shelves below show a mixed retail display of sparkling alcohol-free wine style drinks, low and no alcohol beers, canned soft drinks, kombucha-style beverages, mixers and premium adult alternatives. Visible products include Wild West beef jerky snacks, Funkin cans, Proper Job IPA 0.5%, Gym Beer, AF branded alcohol-free drinks and other packaged grocery lines, all presented within a modern UK supermarket environment with shelf-edge prices and category merchandising.

It also illustrates how mainstream supermarkets increasingly create visible no and low sections for shoppers avoiding alcohol for faith, health, pregnancy, driving, sport, work, recovery, cultural preference or personal wellbeing. Strong commercial and editorial themes include non-alcoholic alternatives, alcohol-free beer, low-ABV drinks, retail shelf photography, British grocery shopping, supermarket signage, beverage marketing, wellness trend, public health messaging and modern consumer choice. The image suggests suitability for alcohol-avoiding shoppers, but does not confirm halal certification.

Visible branded products include Proper Job IPA 0.5%, Erdinger Alkoholfrei, Adnams Ghost Ship alcohol free, Madrà Excepcional Zero, Birra Moretti Zero and Gym Beer, with shelf-edge price labels and multipack formats reinforcing the everyday grocery shopping setting. The image captures the fast-growing no and low category in British retail, where alcohol-free beer, non-alcoholic lager, low ABV craft beer and healthier drinking alternatives have become mainstream choices in supermarkets, convenience stores and off-licence environments. This photograph is useful for stories about mindful drinking, sober curious consumers, moderation, cutting down alcohol, Dry January, health-conscious purchasing, alcohol substitution, changing consumer behaviour, beer branding, FMCG marketing, retail merchandising and supermarket category management. It also illustrates wider themes in the UK drinks market, including demand for zero alcohol alternatives, premium alcohol-free brands, visible packaging design, comparative shelf positioning, price competition, branded point-of-sale presentation and the normalisation of alcohol-free choices alongside mainstream grocery lines. Suitable for editorial use on supermarket retail, British consumer culture, no alcohol trends, low alcohol trends, wellness lifestyle changes, public health messaging, reduced drinking habits, beer market innovation, retail shelf photography, drinks industry analysis, grocery inflation, household budgeting, impulse purchase behaviour, alcohol moderation campaigns and the commercial rise of non alcoholic beverages.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3NDMW - The Ha'penny Bridge, officially named the Liffey Bridge, forms an elegant illuminated arch across the River Liffey in the heart of Dublin city centre. Photographed at blue hour, the historic pedestrian crossing glows vivid green beneath a deep cobalt sky. Decorative railings, curved cast-iron ribs and traditional lamp standards are reflected in the dark moving water, while softly lit quayside buildings create an atmospheric urban backdrop. The evening illumination gives one of Dublin's most familiar landmarks an especially romantic, almost theatrical character.
The bridge links Bachelor's Walk on the north side of the river with Wellington Quay and the Temple Bar area on the south. Opened in May 1816, it was originally called the Wellington Bridge and replaced ferries operated by William Walsh. Pedestrians initially paid a halfpenny toll, matching the former ferry fare and giving the crossing the affectionate name by which it remains universally known. The toll was eventually abolished in 1919, while Liffey Bridge became its official name.
Designed under the supervision of John Windsor, the graceful single-span structure was assembled from cast-iron sections manufactured at Coalbrookdale in Shropshire. Its light profile, ornamental metalwork and practical pedestrian role made it an important early example of urban iron bridge engineering. A major restoration completed in 2001 preserved much of its historic fabric and returned the structure to its pale traditional finish.
Seen here without the usual daytime crowds, the floodlit bridge appears calm and intimate. The combination of historic architecture, reflections, city lights and darkening sky creates a strong sense of place and romance. The photograph can illustrate Dublin tourism, Irish architectural heritage, European city breaks, riverside walking, historic engineering, evening sightseeing and the enduring connection between the north and south sides of the Irish capital.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EBGJFR - Copenhagen Harbour Bus 991 public transport boat is pictured on the water in the Danish capital, with the destination display showing Teglholmen and passengers standing on the open deck under dramatic evening light. The bright orange vessel forms part of Copenhagen's integrated public transport network, where harbour buses operate like ordinary buses but travel along the inner harbour, linking waterfront districts and giving commuters, residents and visitors a practical way to cross or travel through the city by water. Visit Copenhagen describes the harbour buses as part of the public transport system and notes that stock-photo/gotonysmith-Route.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>route 991 runs in the direction of Teglholmen, while route 992 runs towards Orientkaj. The harbour bus service is a distinctive subject for editorial use around Copenhagen tourism, sustainable transport, Nordic urban design, harbour regeneration, waterfront commuting, public transport integration, city ferries and low emission travel. The image shows the experience at passenger level rather than as a distant postcard view, with people, railings, the driver's cabin, the orange ferry structure, water and changing sky all combining to give a documentary travel feel. It is useful for stories about how Copenhagen makes its harbour part of everyday movement, not just scenery, and how former industrial waterfronts such as Teglholmen and Sluseholmen have become connected residential and mixed-use districts. The photograph also suits themes of car-free sightseeing, public transport tickets, boat commuting, urban mobility, Scandinavian lifestyle, city breaks, transport infrastructure and the appeal of seeing Copenhagen from the water without taking a specialist tourist cruise. The soft low sun, blue sky and dark cloud add visual drama, while the passengers on deck give scale and human interest. It is a strong stock image for travel guides, transport features, tourism articles, climate-conscious city planning, harbour bus route explainers and editorial coverage

The content of the proposals, which have already been delayed on at least four occasions, met with broad support from MPs and campaigners but drew criticism for shying away from curbs on advertising.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T35C2N - This editorial photograph captures The great Food Scandal, West End Final headline, London evening Standard, Holborn, WC2B 6AA. The row metadata places the subject at Holborn, Bloomsbury, London, England, WC2B 6AA. The spreadsheet date indicates 08 September 2023, so the picture can also work as a time-specific archive record. Plainly, the image is useful because it shows London, London Evening Standard, evening, standard, newspaper, paper, Food Scandal, WC2B, with search-relevant terms including London, London Evening Standard, evening, standard, newspaper, paper, Food Scandal, WC2B, news, stand, England, UK, campaign, the. The value lies in the combination of place, object, wording and context, giving editors something specific and grounded rather than generic filler imagery. London details are useful because the city layers national politics, migration, commerce, tourism, neighbourhood change and local high streets. East End, Westminster and Holborn subjects can all carry wider meaning beyond their immediate street address. The image can support political and civic reporting where the point is not just party branding or protest imagery, but the way public debate appears in streets, media, posters, campaign signs and everyday visual culture. It would suit editorial features, local news reporting, public policy articles, web explainers, travel pieces and business commentary where a real place or recognisable everyday subject is needed rather than a staged studio concept. Historically and socially, this kind of image can help connect past and present: older streets, civic institutions, transport systems, shops, signs, political messages or public services are not frozen museum pieces, but part of how people understand modern life, local identity and economic change. For SEO and stock-photo discovery, the description deliberately supports searches around London.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine buskers have been robbed of their spots, so their music has had to go underground.
But it's not just their music that has been taken, it is also their livelihoods. So this Eurovision, Ketchum UK has created a campaign for buskers from Liverpool to give up their usual spots along the Merseyrail network to Ukrainian musicians, giving them the chance to perform for audiences and keep the conversation alive about this unjust war.
Travellers going through the four biggest stations
Liverpool Central, Lime Street, Moorfields and James Street will be able to enjoy authentic Ukrainian busking music.
Each busking spot has a speaker streaming the artists music and a QR code for passers-by to scan to find out more about the musicians' story, videos about them and to donate to the cause.
All proceeds raised will go directly to Supplies for Ukraine C.I.C., who are working to provide essential, lifesaving equipment to civilians and volunteers on the front lines in Ukraine.
There is an accompanying outdoor poster campaign across the Merseyrail network and all tracks are streamed as a playlist on Spotify.

Prominent wording, signage, posters, logos or other graphic material gives the photograph additional documentary value because it records how an organisation, campaign, business or place communicated with the public at that moment. Text and branding visible in a streetscape can be especially useful for editorial comparison after rebranding, closure, redevelopment or policy change. 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 composition retains practical contextual detail for news, feature, documentary, educational and historical use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2N482TX - How NHS bowel cancer screening scheme works, in the UK
You will be sent an invitation letter with information about bowel cancer screening. The information is to help you decide whether to take part. Then we send you a faecal immunochemical test, or ˜FIT kit' for short. It detects blood in your poo (blood you would not notice by eye). We look for blood because polyps and bowel cancers sometimes bleed. Finding blood does not diagnose bowel cancer but it means you need further tests (usually a bowel examination).
Most people's screening result shows they do not need any further tests.
Some people will need further tests. If this is the case for you, we will offer you an appointment to talk about having a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy looks at the inside of your bowel. We use colonoscopy to find the source of the blood.
You use the FIT kit in the privacy of your home. It's a simple way to collect a tiny sample of poo. The kit (pictured below) is a small plastic bottle with a stick attached inside the lid. You use the stick to collect the sample, which you seal into the bottle. There are instructions with each kit.
Once used, you post the kit in its prepaid packaging to a laboratory for processing. Using the kit takes just a few minutes and it's an easy and effective way to screen for early bowel cancer.

Another useful connection is responsible drinking and Herefordshire's long association with commercial cider production as part of the longer story of Hereford, England, UK. The scene further reflects packaging and Herefordshire's long association with commercial cider production when considered against later change at Hereford, England, UK. The scene captures evidence of earlier appearance for later comparison.

From a heritage perspective, libraries have continually adapted from reading rooms and reference collections to computers, events, study spaces and digital services
Interior details and staffing images show how the public library functions as both an information service and a community place. Historically, stations and railway infrastructure are both working transport assets and historical records
Their evolving operators, signage, ticketing systems, rolling stock and architecture chart the development of British rail travel from the Victorian era to modern inter-city and commuter services. In historical terms, architecture records the priorities of the period in which a building was designed: materials, ornament, scale and planning can reveal changing technologies, social status and commercial use
Later alterations and changes of tenant add further layers, so a single façade can embody several phases of local history. As of 2026, public libraries remain significant community infrastructure, particularly for people needing free access to information, digital services and shared space
Photographs of earlier staffing and buildings can support coverage of service change and community ownership. In 2026, rail reform gives this type of image extra context
The government is legislating for Great British Railways to coordinate infrastructure, services, fares and timetables, while historical operator liveries and station equipment increasingly become records of the post-privatisation era.

To the side the elaborate Dutch gable and also the window with red sandstone details. In historical terms, public libraries developed as major civic institutions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, combining books, education and free access to information
Their buildings and services often reflect municipal pride, while later community-run models reveal changing patterns of local-government provision. The wider historical story is that railway scenes connect industrial-age engineering with everyday passenger mobility
Station architecture, platforms, signal boxes, ticketing and rolling stock show how the network has evolved from steam and regional companies through British Rail, privatisation and today's increasingly digital passenger railway. Historically, historic and contemporary architecture can be read as a record of investment, planning and changing urban functions
Civic, commercial, industrial and residential buildings each contribute to the character of a townscape, particularly where older structures are adapted rather than demolished. During 2026, libraries continue to evolve as community hubs offering digital access, study, events and support alongside books
Funding pressures and volunteer involvement remain important issues, making older images useful for examining changes in local public services. In the present 2026 context, britain's railway is in another period of structural change as legislation for Great British Railways progresses, bringing infrastructure and passenger services into a more unified publicly owned model

Even small branches can play an important social role beyond book lending. As background, 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. Looking at the subject's development, commemorative plaques, gravestones and monuments transform individual or collective memory into a permanent feature of the landscape
Their wording, materials and location can illuminate genealogy, social history, military service and changing attitudes to public remembrance. In 2026, public libraries remain significant community infrastructure, particularly for people needing free access to information, digital services and shared space
Photographs of earlier staffing and structures can support coverage of service change and community ownership. Against the 2026 backdrop, rail policy is especially topical: the Railways Bill is progressing through Parliament and is intended to establish Great British Railways as the publicly owned directing mind for track, stations, timetables and passenger services

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XN9Y - How investors got burned by Chilango's burrito bonds
As investors in restaurant chain Chilango's burrito bonds face losing all their money
With average interest rates on savings accounts falling to under 1% for the first time, promises of 8% returns are bound to attract attention. But don't be fooled into placing your cash in high-risk mini-bonds. A mini-bond is a high-risk form of corporate debt.
This is something investors in restaurant group Chilango are just discovering. More than 1,000 people bought £5.8m of its mini-bonds. The investments were dubbed burrito bonds because if you invested more than £10,000 you could claim one free burrito a week. In November 2018 MoneyWeek warned readers to think long and hard before you sink your money into the burrito bond .
Now the vast majority of those bond holders stand to lose their money after Chilango announced it is entering administration. They will be reliant on returns from the sale of its assets, which the company warned last year could lead to them losing 99% of their investment , says Sarah Butler in The Guardian.
This is only the latest example of the significant risk mini-bonds present. In 2015 Secured Energy Bonds collapsed, losing investors more than £7m. In January 2019 London Capital & Finance (LCF) went bust, leaving 12,000 investors facing a £236m loss. Mini-bonds are examples of high-risk investment products that should come with a health warning, Myron Jobson, a personal finance campaigner at Interactive Investor, told The Times. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.
Mini-bonds are an unregulated product
The problem with mini-bonds is that while the marketing is regulated, the product isn't. This means that, unlike cash savings, money invested in mini-bonds is not protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, which will compensate you with up to £85,000 if your bank or building society goes bust.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6NJ - Peter Cooper (February 12, 1791 “ April 4, 1883) was an American industrialist, inventor, philanthropist, and politician. He designed and built the first American steam locomotive, the Tom Thumb, founded the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, served as its first president, and stood for election as the Greenback Party's candidate in the 1876 presidential election.
Cooper began tinkering at a young age while working in various positions in New York City. He purchased a glue factory in 1821 and used that factory's profits to found the Canton Iron Works, where he earned even larger profits by assembling the Tom Thumb. Cooper's success as a businessman and inventor continued over the ensuing decades, and he became the first mill operator to successfully use anthracite coal to puddle iron. He also developed numerous patents for products such as gelatin and participated in the laying of the first transatlantic telegraph cable.
During the Gilded Age, Cooper became an ardent critic of the gold standard and the debt-based monetary system of bank currency, advocating instead for government-issued banknotes. Cooper was nominated for president at the 1876 Greenback National Convention, and the Greenback ticket of Cooper and Samuel Fenton Cary won just under one percent of the popular vote in the 1876 general election. His son Edward and his son-in-law Abram Hewitt, both served as Mayor of New York City.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DC86 - BEA operated to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East from airports around the United Kingdom. The airline was also the largest UK domestic operator, serving major British cities, including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast, as well as remote areas of the British Isles such as the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. From 1946 until 1974, BEA operated a network of internal German routes between West Berlin and West Germany as well.
Formed as the British European Airways division of British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) on 1 January 1946, BEA became a crown corporation in its own right on 1 August 1946.
Inflight smoking is prohibited by almost all airlines
smoking on domestic U.S. airliners, for instance, was banned for almost all routes beginning in 1988, with all planes being smoke-free by the end of the 1990s. According to FAA regulations, smoking lit cigarettes or anything else that produces smoke or flame is prohibited onboard most commercial aircraft. However, the FAA has not issued a regulation for or against electronic cigarettes, leaving that decision up to the individual airlines

Photographed at Warwick Services, M40, Warwickshire, England, UK. The photograph was taken on 19 December 2014. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with Ecotricity, electric, car, charging, station, Warwick, Highway Services M40, Warwickshire, service and green, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The scene has strong relevance to railway travel, public transport, passenger infrastructure and the everyday operation of Britain's rail network. It can illustrate editorial stories about stations, train journeys, commuting, regional connectivity, rail investment, rolling stock, freight, signals, platforms, accessibility and the relationship between railways and the places they serve. Visible railway furniture, signs, tracks, platforms, trains, signals or station buildings help place the photograph firmly in the practical environment experienced by passengers and railway staff. As a dated documentary image it also offers a useful record of transport infrastructure, branding and passenger facilities at the time the photograph was made. Search themes include British rail travel, railway stations, passenger journeys, tracks, platforms, signals, rolling stock, freight, regional connectivity and transport infrastructure. The scene is particularly useful for illustrating how railway facilities, signs and operational surroundings looked at a known point in time. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DANJMG - . An example of no on station ticketting at Slateford, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK EH14 1BX. Photographed on 12 June 2013. Historically, music scenes are shaped by both performers and infrastructure, including rehearsal rooms, record labels, promoters, venues and audiences
Photographs of these details help document local cultural ecosystems that can be lost quickly through redevelopment or evolving entertainment habits. Historically, 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. In 2026, live performance and music heritage remain strong drivers of city identity, particularly in places such as Manchester, Liverpool and Edinburgh
Older gig material and venue photographs help trace the transition from physical tickets and local scenes to digital promotion and streaming. In 2026, rail policy is especially topical: the Railways Bill is progressing through Parliament and is intended to establish Great British Railways as the publicly owned directing mind for track, stations, timetables and passenger services
Older branded stock-photo/gotonysmith-Train.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>trains and station scenes therefore gain additional documentary value during another major restructuring of the industry. The historical context is that live music leaves a material trail through venues, tickets, posters, recording equipment and the buildings associated with bands and labels
These apparently everyday objects become cultural-history evidence as scenes, technologies and venues change or disappear. Other strongly related concepts include concert, music venue, musician, music history, popular culture, music memorabilia, rock music, independent music, fan culture, rail transport, passenger railway, railway station, platform, rolling stock, and train service.

Twenty-three is the ninth prime number, the smallest odd prime that is not a twin prime. Twenty-three is also the fifth factorial prime, the third Woodall prime. It is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form 3n \u2212 1.
Twenty-three is the sum of three other, consecutive, prime numbers
5, 7 and 11. It is the first prime number showing this characteristic.
The fifth Sophie Germain prime and the fourth safe prime, 23 is the next to last member of the first Cunningham chain of the first kind to have five terms (2, 5, 11, 23, 47). Since 14! + 1 is a multiple of 23 but 23 is not one more than a multiple 14, 23 is a Pillai prime. 23 is the smallest odd prime to be a highly cototient number, as the solution to x \u2212 \u03c6(x) for the integers 95, 119, 143, 529.
Twenty-three is the aliquot sum of two integers
the discrete semiprimes 57 and 85 and is the base of the 23-aliquot tree.
23 is the first prime P for which unique factorization of cyclotomic integers based on the Pth root of unity breaks down.
The sum of the first 23 primes is 874, which is divisible by 23, a property shared by few other numbers.
In the list of fortunate numbers, 23 occurs twice, since adding 23 to either the fifth or eighth primorial gives a prime number (namely 2333 and 9699713).
23 also has the distinction of being one of two integers that cannot be expressed as the sum of fewer than 9 cubes of integers (the other is 239). See Waring's problem.
23 is a Wedderburn\u2013Etherington number. The codewords in the perfect (non-extended) binary Golay code are of size 23.
23 is the atomic number of vanadium. Normal human sex cells have 23 chromosomes. Other human cells have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs. 23 is the width of the Arecibo message, sent to space in search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Psalm 23, also known as the Shepherd Psalm, is possibly the most quoted and best known Psalm. In Islam, the Qur'an was revealed in a total of 23 years to Muhammad.
The Ancient Chinese believed that numbers conveyed sexuality with even numbers representing femininity and odd representing masculinity. Prime numbers were considered the most masculine and special status was conferred on 23 as it contained not only two consecutive prime numbers (2 and 3) but also the only even prime number.
In Monty Python's Life of Brian there are 23 crosses on Calvary.
23 Skidoo are a British band playing a fusion of industrial, post-punk, alternative dance, rock, and world music. The group was named after an early 20th-century American slang phrase that later made appearances in the works of Aleister Crowley, William S. Burroughs, and filmmaker Julian Biggs.
Formed in 1979 by Fritz Catlin, Johnny Turnbull and Sam Mills, and later augmented by Alex Turnbull and Tom Heslop, 23 Skidoo had interests in martial arts, Burundi and Kodo drumming, Fela Kuti, The Last Poets, William S. Burroughs, as well as the emerging confluence of industrial, post-punk and funk, heard in artists such as A Certain Ratio, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire, The Pop Group and This Heat.
Their first 7', 'Ethics' was released in 1980, followed by 'The Gospel Comes To New Guinea' &
'Last Words' 12' single which was co-produced by Stephen Mallinder, Richard H. Kirk and Chris Watson from Cabaret Voltaire at their studio,The Western Works in Sheffield.
A Peel Session was recorded on September 16, 1981. Their debut album, Seven Songs, was released in 1982 and is said to evoke the claustrophobic humidity of an African forest.The album went straight to number 1 in the Independent charts.'Seven Songs,which was recorded and mixed in 3 days,was co-produced by Tony,Terry and David aka Genesis P-Orridge and Peter Christopherson of Throbbing Gristle/Psychic TV and engineer Ken Thomas.
Anything from this band pretty much sums up 23 for me.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CFE7HJ - . £3.50 Tesco Clubcard Every Little Helps voucher held in a hand by a shopper. Photographed on 10 March 2012. The recorded location is Manchester, Lancashire, England, UK. The wider historical story is that markets and high-street businesses combine commercial history with everyday social life
Their changing occupiers, branding and uses document local economies, consumer culture, town-centre regeneration and the long shift from traditional retailing towards mixed shopping, food and leisure destinations. In historical terms, printed and graphic ephemera are highly effective dating evidence
Tickets, labels, cards, stamps, posters and logos combine wording, typography, colour and branding in forms that are often discarded after use, so surviving examples can become valuable records of popular culture and commerce. In the present 2026 context, high streets still change rapidly as retailers respond to online competition, costs and changing footfall
Government support for community assets and town-centre renewal gives photographs of independent shops, markets and former businesses added relevance to stories about regeneration and local economies. During 2026, much ticketing, advertising and personal communication is digital, making earlier printed ephemera increasingly distinctive as evidence of pre-digital communication
Physical cards, labels and tickets also provide a contrast with QR codes, apps and paperless transactions. Looking at the subject's development, shops and markets are a visible record of changing consumer life, from family businesses and specialist traders to chain stores, department stores and regenerated market halls
Fascias, signs and shopfronts can date a street scene as clearly as architecture or vehicles. Useful subject and context terms include retail premises, local business, independent retailer, town centre, commercial property, local economy, shopping district, retail history, business closure, and urban commerce.

Aignish (Scottish Gaelic: Aiginis) is located northwest of Knock and east of Stornoway on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis (Scottish Gaelic: Leòdhas), Scotland. The township is at the island side of the isthmus connecting to the Eye peninsula.
Lewis is of Presbyterian tradition with a rich history, having once been part of the Norse Kingdom of Mann and the Isles. Today, life is very different from elsewhere in Scotland with Sabbath observance, the Gaelic language and peat cutting retaining more importance than elsewhere. Lewis has a rich cultural heritage as can be seen from its myths and legends as well as the local literary and musical traditions.
St Columba's Church, Aignish, Isle of Lewis.The crofting village contains the historic Eye Church (Scottish Gaelic: Eaglais na h-Aoidhe), a large pre-Reformation Church. The present church buildings are believed to be medieval, built during two separate construction phases. They were constructed on the site believed to be the cell of St. Catan, a contemporary of St. Columba. The church was the burial ground of the MacLeods of Lewis.
Saint Columba (7 December 521 “ 9 June 597 AD)”also known as Colum Cille (Old Irish, meaning dove of the church), Colm Cille (Irish), Calum Cille (Scottish Gaelic) and Kolban or Kolbjørn (Old Norse, meaning black bear)”was a Gaelic Irish missionary monk who propagated Christianity among the Picts during the Early Medieval Period. He was one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CF0NP5 - . A Single car on M1, near Watford Gap services, M1 Motorway, Northamptonshire, England UK. Photographed on 30 June 2009. The wider historical story is that automotive history is visible in body shapes, registration plates, branding and roadside infrastructure
The move from staffed garages and mechanical pumps to self-service filling stations mirrors wider changes in retail, technology and car ownership. In historical terms, 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. In the longer view, road signs, mileposts, traffic systems and street furniture document the development of Britain's highway network from historic turnpikes and coaching roads to motorways and contemporary traffic management
Even everyday signs can become useful evidence of changing regulations, road design and local geography. In the present 2026 context, transport policy is steadily shifting attention from petrol and diesel towards electric vehicles and lower emissions, increasing the heritage value of traditional fuel pumps, classic cars and older motoring infrastructure. During 2026, transport policy increasingly emphasises decarbonisation, integration and reliable public services, while older diesel vehicles and legacy infrastructure provide a visual contrast with electric fleets and changing travel behaviour. Looking at the subject's development, cars and garage equipment are part of twentieth-century material culture
Imported American models, British registrations, oil-company branding and automated car washes each represent different aspects of the expanding motoring economy. Useful alternative terminology includes motoring heritage, automobile, petrol pump, service station, fuel retail, vintage vehicle, car culture, road transport, motor vehicle, historic vehicle, motoring history, and public transport.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2N482TN - How NHS bowel cancer screening scheme works, in the UK
You will be sent an invitation letter with information about bowel cancer screening. The information is to help you decide whether to take part. Then we send you a faecal immunochemical test, or ˜FIT kit' for short. It detects blood in your poo (blood you would not notice by eye). We look for blood because polyps and bowel cancers sometimes bleed. Finding blood does not diagnose bowel cancer but it means you need further tests (usually a bowel examination).
Most people's screening result shows they do not need any further tests.
Some people will need further tests. If this is the case for you, we will offer you an appointment to talk about having a colonoscopy. Colonoscopy looks at the inside of your bowel. We use colonoscopy to find the source of the blood.
You use the FIT kit in the privacy of your home. It's a simple way to collect a tiny sample of poo. The kit (pictured below) is a small plastic bottle with a stick attached inside the lid. You use the stick to collect the sample, which you seal into the bottle. There are instructions with each kit.
Once used, you post the kit in its prepaid packaging to a laboratory for processing. Using the kit takes just a few minutes and it's an easy and effective way to screen for early bowel cancer.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTNA3R - THERE is good news for electric vehicle drivers in and around Warrington, as the council has announced free electric charging at its Time Square car park and Warrington West station.
The initiative, which has been confirmed for at least the next six months, will help to support those who are making the switch from petrol and diesel to electric.
There are currently 56 charging points at the Time Square car park “ one of the highest number of charging points in a single location in the country “ with another 12 charging points available at the new Warrington West station.
The move to offering free electric vehicle charging comes after the council's climate emergency declaration in June.
The plans to encourage electric vehicle travel also support the council's Air Quality Action Plan, which aims to reduce nitrogen dioxide levels within the main, busy traffic routes leading into and around the town.
Cllr Judith Guthrie, cabinet member for environment, who drives an electric car herself, said: It's great news that I'm able to announce free charging points for electric vehicle users here in Warrington. We're committed to doing all we can to help people become more environmentally-friendly in and around the borough - more at https://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/18243487.free-electric-vehicle-charging-points-warrington-west-time-square-car-parks/

The new car park, which was due to open
in December 2017, is a great example of
how architects and contractors can work in
partnership with Maple to transform typically
dull and utilitarian buildings into an integral and
aesthetically appealing part of the urban realm.
With its hexagon-featured golden façade, the
car park complements the other elements of
the £107m Time Square development.
The new car park is an integral and important
part of the Time Square project as it will
underpin and support the whole scheme, said
the leader of Warrington Borough Council, Terry
O'Neill.
Architect's ratings
Leach Rhodes Walker described us as ˜excellent'
after the successful collaboration. Maple's
knowledge and craftsmanship was excellent
throughout, said LRW's lead project designer,
Ka Yin Man. From when we spoke to sales
about the commercials, to (dealing with) the
design and projects teams, the whole experience
was collaborative. In a post-project interview,
the architects' firm gave us top marks for design
services, project support, meeting deadlines
and the quality of the finished product. Added
Ka Yin: Maple were always helpful, and any
questions were dealt with promptly. Everyone
was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
The end result was even better than expected
The project was one of the first to use the new
dedicated prototype area at Maple's factory in
Stockport. The architects and contractors I & H
Brown Construction were able to view real-life
examples of the bespoke perforated panels and
golden hexagon cut-outs - at actual size. The
prototypes were powder-coated in the specified
colour, and fitted to the display framework using
actual fittings - meaning that any changes to the
design or specification could be made without
it having a major impact on timings or budget

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy R9GTE3 - Electric Vehicle recharging point only, Eskbank Railway station, Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland, UK has the strength of a real-world scene: ordinary enough to be believable, but specific enough to support precise editorial use. Railway carriages, platforms and station approaches are everyday public spaces where national transport policy becomes visible in delays, rolling stock, staffing, safety, accessibility and passenger comfort. The scene suits transport features on regional connectivity, rail investment, commuting, city-region economies and the difference between headline infrastructure schemes and ordinary journeys. The location detail, Dalkeith, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. Relevant editorial themes include Victorian bank, financial architecture, adaptive reuse, historic pub, railway station, passenger rail, train travel and public transport, with each theme rooted in the visible subject, place or activity. It can work both as a straightforward location record and as a wider editorial illustration of the habits, services, buildings, symbols and small commercial details that shape everyday life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GY1D8N - Photo shows Holding barley in the hand,from a field in summer, Cheshire,England, UK. The image is useful for illustrating British and Irish pub culture, real ale, traditional bars, hospitality, visitor economy stories and the continued importance of pubs as social places. Where a named pub, brewery, beer pump, pint glass or drinking street is visible, it can support articles on licensed premises, cask ale, CAMRA interest, tourism, nightlife, local character and changing high streets. The supplied location evidence places the subject at or near Cheshire, England, UK, which adds value for buyers searching by town, city, region or postcode. Weather and season may be visible outside or through the setting
the subject has clear hospitality and leisure value. It should work for editorial buyers needing authentic, non-staged British or travel imagery for news, magazine, blog, local government, heritage, housing, transport, tourism, retail, public policy or social commentary use. The caption should be checked against the visible photograph before upload so that any readable signs, weather, time of day and people context are accurately reflected without overstating facts not shown in the image. The strongest sales value is the combination of named subject, real location and everyday documentary style, giving picture editors a flexible image that can sit alongside features, opinion pieces, explainers, historical retrospectives and local news. Search relevance is helped by including concise place names, visible brand or wording, functional subject terms, and wider editorial concepts such as public realm, consumer behaviour, heritage, travel, leisure and community life where they genuinely match the picture.
