Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JX2T4N - The Advanced Passenger Train (APT) was a tilting high speed train developed by British Rail during the 1970s and early 1980s, for use on the West Coast Main Line (WCML). The WCML contained many curves, and the APT pioneered the concept of active tilting to address these, a feature that has since been copied on designs around the world. The experimental APT-E achieved a new British railway speed record on 10 August 1975 when it reached 152.3 miles per hour (245.1 km/h), only to be bested by the service prototype APT-P at 162.2 miles per hour (261.0 km/h) in December 1979, a record that stood until September 2006.
Development of the service prototypes dragged on, and by the late 1970s the design had been under construction for a decade and the trains were still not ready for service. The election of Margaret Thatcher brought matters to a head and she alluded to funding cuts for the project. Facing the possibility of cancellation, BR management decided to put the prototypes into service, with the first runs along the London-Glasgow route taking place in December 1981. The result was a media circus when every problem large or small received front-page coverage and the entire project derided as an example of BR's incompetence. The trains were withdrawn from service again by the end of the month, to the great amusement of the press.
In spite of the APT's troubled history, the design was highly influential and directly inspired other high speed trains such as the Pendolino. The considerable work on electrification that was carried out hand-in-hand with APT was put to good use with newer non-tilting designs like the British Rail Class 91. The APT's tilt system was returned to the WCML on the British Rail Class 390, based on the Fiat Ferroviaria tilting train design and built by Alstom.

The locality and subject together evoke place identity, conservation interest, urban commerce, historic townscape, regional identity, heritage landmark, social history, heritage asset, historical comparison, documentary photography, architectural detailing, independent trading, high-street commerce, and period streetscape. For contemporary context, business rates and changing footfall are closely related themes, especially where the issue becomes the shift toward mixed retail, leisure, service and residential centres. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject sits within continuing debate about redevelopment pressure, maintenance costs and reusing existing buildings rather than demolishing them. From an archival perspective, the photograph anchors local appearance, occupation, access and public activity around 6 Market St, Newtown, Powys, Wales, SY16 2PQ. A second layer of the scene includes urban fabric, local character, changing streetscape, commercial streetscape, customer footfall, shopfront economy, changing land use, and historic context. Elements such as Powys, Butcher, Jacks, Peter, and Market add documentary specificity and may become more useful when compared with later records. The surrounding context at 6 Market St, Newtown, Powys, Wales, SY16 2PQ matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. A further contemporary connection is business rates and the rapid turnover of shopfronts and trading names in a form that can be compared with future views of 6 Market St, Newtown, Powys, Wales, SY16 2PQ.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY7XRY - . School Leavers Shirt with signatures of classmates. Photographed in England. The photograph was taken on 23 July 2015. 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. Signage, lettering, logos, numbers or other visible information form an important part of the record, helping identify the subject and capture contemporary branding or public messaging. The scene is closely associated with School, Leavers, Shirt, signatures, classmates, junior, time, higher, class and mate, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. The photograph has direct relevance to remembrance, commemoration, war memorials, civic ceremony and the public spaces used to remember military service and loss. It can support editorial features about Remembrance Sunday, Armistice commemorations, poppies, cenotaphs, wreath laying, local military history, veterans and civic participation. Inscriptions, floral tributes, flags, stonework, surrounding streets and temporary commemorative displays can provide important documentary detail for historical and news use. A dated image of a memorial is especially valuable because ceremonies, wreaths, signage and the surrounding public realm change from year to year. Search themes include remembrance, cenotaphs, war memorials, poppies, veterans, civic ceremony, military history, Armistice and public commemoration. Temporary wreaths, poppies and ceremonial displays can make one year's view materially different from another, increasing the archive value of the photograph. 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. The view is firmly rooted in a real location rather than a constructed studio setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7MB4 - Opened by Felix O'Hanlon as The Railway Tavern, the pub was then bought by Michael Fanigan. Fanigan's son Patrick renamed and renovated the pub in 1885.
The Crown owes its elaborate tiling, stained glass and woodwork to the Italian craftsmen whom Fanigan persuaded to work on the pub after hours. These craftsmen were brought to Ireland to work on the many new churches being built in Belfast at the time. It was this high standard of work that gave the Crown the reputation of being one of the finest Victorian Gin Palaces of its time.
In 1978, the National Trust, following persuasion by people including Sir John Betjeman, purchased the property and three years later completed a £400,000 renovation to restore the bar to its original Victorian state. Further restoration by the National Trust was done in 2007 at a cost of £500,000. This work is the subject of a BBC Northern Ireland documentary, The Crown Jewel, screened in 2008.
A recognisable landmark of Belfast, the pub has featured as a location in numerous film and television productions, such as David Caffrey's Divorcing Jack (1998) and Carol Reed's classic 1947 film Odd Man Out.
The Crown has been given a Grade A Listed Building status by the Environment and Heritage Service.
