Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8PW0X - . The Thorn Inn sign - Appleton Thorn. Photographed on 22 March 2026. The recorded location is Appleton Thorn, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. For the story of business premises, it is useful to note that local businesses provide unusually precise social-history evidence because names, branding and uses change more quickly than the buildings they occupy
A shop, café, pub or service company can disappear while the façade survives, leaving photographs as a record of the previous commercial life of the street. The historical setting for signage is that wayfinding developed from painted names and fingerposts into standardised road, rail and public-information systems
Local signs still retain distinctive typography or bilingual wording even within increasingly consistent national standards. Seen through streetscape, the earlier 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. For present-day business premises, 2026 is significant because current interest in community assets and place-making gives photographs of individual businesses added significance when premises close, rebrand or are converted to new uses. In the 2026 discussion of signage, digital maps and smartphone navigation are ubiquitous, but physical signage remains essential for safety, accessibility, legal restrictions and visitors without reliable connectivity. Closely connected keywords include high street, commercial premises, independent business, shopfront, town centre, local economy, business signage, retail and leisure, commercial history, small business, local services, urban commerce, public information, direction sign, street sign, and notice. Useful related concepts include lettering, public realm, visitor guidance, information sign, bilingual signage, accessibility sign, graphic communication, and street furniture.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3NDMJ - . Murphys Farmhouse directional sign photographed in Ireland. Photographed on 17 July 2025. The black and white signpost style image is suitable for editorial use on rural hospitality, inns, pubs, local businesses, wayfinding, country roads and British place-name or destination signage. The background to information sign is that wayfinding developed from painted names and fingerposts into standardised road, rail and public-information systems
Local signs still retain distinctive typography or bilingual wording even within increasingly consistent national standards. Within the history of climate adaptation, irrigation and crop management became increasingly mechanised during the twentieth century, allowing farmers to control water and improve yields but also increasing attention to resource use and environmental impact. In relation to high street, historical context shows that local businesses offer unusually precise social-history evidence because names, branding and uses change more quickly than the buildings they occupy
A shop, café, pub or service company can disappear while the façade survives, leaving photographs as a record of the previous commercial life of the street. Current 2026 context around information sign is that digital maps and smartphone navigation are ubiquitous, but physical signage remains essential for safety, accessibility, legal restrictions and visitors without reliable connectivity. Against the 2026 backdrop for climate adaptation, seasonal nature photography also has growing relevance to phenology , as researchers and the public pay more attention to changes in flowering, rainfall and the timing of autumn or spring. Closely associated editorial terms include public information, direction sign, street sign, notice, lettering, public realm, visitor guidance, bilingual signage, accessibility sign, graphic communication, street furniture, agriculture, crop field, farming, rural landscape, and food production.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E5TC3A - James Keiller & Son Dundee Orange Marmalade mural in New Inn Entry, Dundee, Scotland, UK. The photograph is a contemporary editorial record of the subject and its surroundings at New Inn Entry, Dundee, Scotland, UK. Visible signage, lettering, architecture, street furniture, transport infrastructure, public art, commercial branding or landscape details are retained where present, giving the image value both as a description of the immediate scene and as a reference for how the place looked at the time of photography. The mural celebrates Dundee's historic association with James Keiller & Son and orange marmalade. Created by artist Diane Selbie and commissioned for New Inn Entry, the colourful work uses vintage-style jars, fruit and lettering to connect contemporary street art with the city's food-manufacturing heritage. The image has wider editorial relevance for local history, heritage, tourism, transport, retail, planning, regeneration, business and social change where those themes apply to the subject. It can support news and feature coverage as well as retrospective comparison if the building, business, artwork, service, route or streetscape is altered, redeveloped, rebranded, closed or otherwise changes in future. The composition also preserves small visual details that are easily lost over time, including materials, signs, logos, road or rail features, shopfront treatment, public-realm design and the relationship of the subject to neighbouring buildings or open space. This makes the photograph useful not only as a straightforward location image but also as a documentary record of everyday urban and cultural life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PGT8Y3 - More info from the CAMRA pub heritage site at https://pubheritage.camra.org.uk/pubs/4126
Probably 17th-century - suggested by the date 1685 in a gable - this much restored inn is worth a visit to see two small rooms of real character. Behind the servery an old latch door leads into a small snug with two good baffles/screens by the entrance with colourful pictorial stained and leaded panels at the top, early 20th-century fixed seating and bell pushes around most of the room but, sadly, a modern brick fireplace. Down a short passageway on the rear right a sliding door leads into the small Trophy Room with Victorian fixed seating with carved arms / bench ends and bell pushes all around the room but, again, another modern brick fireplace. The front of the pub is three rooms opened up and modernised but the bar counter may be old with a modern frontage of carved panels added and an area on the front right does retain old fixed seating and bell pushes. Active bowling green at rear owned by the pub and a modern function room is used by a folk club (Sunday evenings).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PGAYM7 - There has been a building on our site since the 1300s although the first mention of the Kings itself is not until 1639. The Georgian frontage was added in 1753 although the size of the building was reduced in the 1890s when a decline in trade resulted in part of the front being turned into a shop. It wasn't until 1936 that the Kings left private ownership and was bought by the Friary Brewery of Guildford which later became part of Allied Breweries.
We've had a few famous guests over the years including Tsar Peter the Great (who left without paying his bill!) as well as some European royalty who met here in 1814 to discuss post war Europe after the Battle of Trafalgar. Tsar Peter the Great's visit is commemorated by a plaque on the front of the building which was unveiled in 1998 by the Russian Ambassador to commemorate the tricentenary of the visit.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RD25X3 - The White Horse & Griffin Hotel and Restaurant is one of the most iconic and charismatic properties on the old East side of Whitby. Built in 1681 by Sir Hugh Cholmley, the White Horse & Griffin was the first Coaching Inn from Whitby to York and London. It was operated as an Inn until 1939.
It was also used as a meeting place for explorers Captain James Cook and William Scoresby who hired and fixed their crews from the building. The White Horse & Griffin closed in 1939 on the day of the Battle of the River Plate (the first major Naval Battle of the Second Wold War). Having fallen into dereliction in post War years, when it was predominantly used as storage for local fisherman's nets and pots, the building was acquired and extended by local builder Stewart Perkins in 1982.The sympathetic restoration process he put in place took 11 years to complete and has created a remarkably authentic period atmosphere and ambience throughout the extensive accommodation.
Since opening in its current guise in 1993, and built around an outstanding restaurant the White Horse & Griffin has developed into a famous success story.
From the restored central entrance porch with its original decorative panels and the exposed Victorian signage through the cobbled alleyway, the Hotel has separate entrances via stone and rail steps and opens up to four floors within which are 10 en-suite double bedrooms. Each of the rooms and the first floor private dining room are designated by name from well-known Whitby ships and Skippers.
The exposed timbers and stripped original panelling, restored cast fireplaces, decorative carpentry and plasterwork, together with quirky rooms and passageways breaths a history, which you can almost taste.
Diners and guests who have visited the White Horse and Griffin over the years include acting legend Michael Caine, musician Bryan Ferry, the Queen's cousin Viscount Linley and American Actress Linda Gray, best known for her role as Sue Ellen Ewing in Dallas

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JNBXNW - . The Black Bear, High St, Moreton-in-Marsh, Evenlode Valley, Cotswold District Council, Gloucestershire, England, UK, GL56 0LW. Photographed on 31 July 2022. Located on Moreton in Marsh's delightful High Street, The Black Bear Inn is a traditional pub serving delicious food and fantastic local ales. We pride ourselves on our warm and friendly, home from home, welcome. The historical context is that british pubs evolved from inns, taverns and alehouses into licensed social institutions that have long served as meeting places, drinking houses, music venues and landmarks within town and village life
Their architecture, signs, interiors and changing names often preserve layers of local commercial and social history. The wider historical story is that town and city centres are continually rewritten by new buildings, transport schemes and changing commercial uses
Photographs preserve the everyday fabric between major landmarks, including underpasses, arcades, back streets and small businesses that may disappear during redevelopment. From a heritage perspective, the modern real-ale movement helped preserve traditional cask-conditioned beer and encouraged a new generation of independent breweries
Pump clips and branded labels became an important part of how drinkers identify constantly changing beers at the bar. The subject remains topical in 2026 because in England the sector remains under pressure from operating costs and business rates, although eligible pubs and live-music venues receive a 15% business-rates relief/27
That makes historic and contemporary pub images particularly relevant to coverage of hospitality, community assets and changing town centres. In the present 2026 context, urban regeneration in England continues to focus on town-centre renewal, housing, public realm and reuse of vacant commercial property
Earlier street scenes provide valuable before-and-after evidence of these changes and of the businesses or structures lost along the.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2MN7P7E - Sitting on an island of land between Chepstow Street and Bridgewater Street this tile clad Victorian pub certainly stands out from its surroundings. The building dates back to the early 19th Century but the cladding was added in 1900. The name is said to commemorate a horse-drawn stagecoach that ran between Manchester and London. Ironically though, the pub, by the same name in Derbyshire, claims that its name came from a book of the same name by Sir. Walter Scott that references Peveril Castle near Castleton in Derbyshire.

History behind Thelwall and the significance of the Pickering Arms
In AD 923 King Edward the Elder ordered a burh to be built to guard the crossing of the River Mersey from the Danes. It was a mistranslation of the word burh, which means military fort, which led to Thelwall being described as a city , hence the legend which appears on the gable end of the 17th Century Pickering Arms public house- reading In the year 923 King Edward the Elder founded a city here and he called it Thelwall.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84JTN - Though an earlier license had existed on part of the current site of The Temple Bar, we can directly trace the existing license back to 1835 when enterprising publican, Cornelius O'Meara, Grocer, Tea, Wine, and Spirit Merchant acquired the blossoming location at the corner of Temple Lane and adjacent to Samuel Figgis, Porter Merchant, who ran his thriving brewing business here. The city of Dublin was experiencing something of an economic renaissance at this time and Temple Bar was idyllically laced between the river and the administrative centre of Dublin.
O'Meara was a committed publican intent on spreading his wings. He also ran another pub at No. 1 Wood Quay. This was then at the epicentre of Dublin 19th century rag trade. O'Meara's two nearest neighbours were Christopher McCauley, Hat Manufacturer, and Edward Loman, Hatter.
O'Meara served almost a decade at the Temple Bar Pub before he sold out to James Farley, Grocer and Spirit Merchant in 1844. James Farley knew the business here very well, having made but a short journey from 38 East Essex Street where he had operated as a Provisions dealer. James Farley's reign at this old hostelery was of brief duration.
The Great Famine was raging across the country with unprecedented horror and devastation when William Cranston, a much respected Dublin publican, took the wheel in 1847.
During the middle to late 1850s, a new wave of Provisions, Dealers and Dram Grocers had infiltrated the Temple Bar area. They operated the practise of ˜dram-drinking'. The Dram Grocers allowed customers to buy spirits in an off-sales liquor store capacity and illegally consume them on the premises behind screens and makeshift partitions. This practice created much financial hardship for the authorities and regular or legitimate vintners (wine merchants).

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T3EFRE - . #DerryHappy - 2015 mural on The Bogside area of Derry Londonderry, Northern Ireland, UK. Photographed on 16 June 2017. The recorded location is 21 Westland St, Londonderry, United Kingdom, BT48 9JE. This 2015 mural in the Bogside in support of a Twitter campaign shows a brain giving birth to the idea of love, smiley faces giving the 'V for victory' salute and other cheery images and colours. The #DerryHappy mural dates from 2015 and was created in the Bogside as a deliberately upbeat counterpoint to a district internationally associated with the Troubles and political mural painting. Its imagery of a brain producing the idea of love, smiling faces and victory signs linked street art with a social-media campaign promoting positivity. The wider Bogside remains an important landscape of memory and civil-rights history, where murals function as public history as well as tourist landmarks. The historical context is that murals, sculptures and civic artworks turn public space into a record of local culture
They can commemorate people and events, respond to politics, celebrate industry or simply enliven streets, while the artists' materials and styles place the work within a particular period. As background, historic and modern 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. The subject remains topical in 2026 because contemporary interest in public art is closely linked to regeneration and cultural tourism. murals and sculpture continue to be used to express identity and animate public space, while redevelopment can make photographic records of earlier works increasingly valuable. Additional subject vocabulary includes visual culture, cultural identity, place-making, community art, urban art, decorative art, and visual storytelling.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H0GDD5 - Grappenhall is a suburban village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is situated along the Bridgewater Canal, and forms one of the principal settlements of Grappenhall and Thelwall civil parish. According to the 2001 UK census, the population of the entire civil parish was 9,377.
Grappenhall is mentioned in the Domesday Book with the name Gropenhale and with a valuation of five shillings.
St Wilfrid's Church has a carving of a cat on the west face of the tower. This is believed to be Lewis Carroll's inspiration for the grinning Cheshire Cat in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The church itself was first constructed in 1120, though was rebuilt 400 years later. The church was also, at a time, in the possession of the Boidelle (Boydell) family.
Along with the church, the centre of the village contains two pubs “ the Parr Arms and the Ram's Head “ and Grappenhall Hall Residential School (no longer a Residential School) and St. Wilfrid's Primary School. Bradshaw Community Primary School is located north of the village centre.
Parts of the Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes were filmed in the centre of Grappenhall. The village name appears in the title of the song Grappenhall Rag, by the Darwen singer-songwriter Bryn Haworth.
Grappenhall is home to the 25th Warrington East (St. Wilfrid's) Scout Troop. There is also a cricket ground, which is the home of Grappenhall Cricket Club.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBM65 - Thelwall is a suburban village in Warrington, Cheshire, England, located close to the Lymm junction of the M6. It is a popular misconception that Thelwall is the 'smallest city in England' (although Thelwall is not in fact a city, nor if it were would it be the smallest in England as the City of London, which truly is the smallest city in England, is marginally smaller).
A fortified village was established at Thelwall in 923 during the reign of King Edward the Elder, which is mentioned in two very early sources, including the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle:
Kynge Edwarde made a cite at Thelewall in [th]e northe parte of [th]e Marches, nye the water of Mersee, where he put certeyne knyghtes.--Higden's Polychronicon[1][2]
A.D. 923. This year went King Edward with an army, late in the harvest, to Thelwall
and ordered the borough to be repaired, and inhabited, and manned. And he ordered another army also from the population of Mercia, the while he sat there to go to Manchester in Northumbria, to repair and to man it. This year died Archbishop Plegmund
and King Reynold won York.--Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
An inscription on the Pickering Arms records that In the year 920 King Edward the Elder founded a city here and called it Thelwall. According to Sir Peter Leycester it was so called from the stakes and stumps, cut from the trees, wherewith it was environed about as a wall. It is more likely that the original meaning of Thelwall was pool by a plank bridge (the earliest record of the name is in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 923 as Thelwæl, in 1241 it occurs as Thelewell).
Earthworks remain of an embankment, possibly part of these fortifications, found in the grounds of Chaigeley School. These remains are a designated English Heritage National Monument.
At Thelwall derive many stories of ghosts,[clarification needed] since many of the old buildings still remain in the area: sightings are relayed from the local pub, The Little Manor. However, there are st

The photograph was taken on 22 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. The upward-looking viewpoint gives extra emphasis to height, upper-storey detail and architectural features that are less prominent from a conventional eye-level view. 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 Pub, Leeds, Grove Inn, Back Row, West Yorkshire, Magnet, Ales, John, Smiths and ale, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. Beyond the immediate subject, the scene is relevant to British pub culture, licensed premises, real ale, beer tourism and the continuing social role of the traditional public house. For picture buyers, the photograph can support editorial features about pubs and bars, hospitality, independent and managed venues, drinking culture, local heritage, city and town centres, leisure spending and the changing British high street. Details such as brewery branding, pub signage, entrances, windows, bar fittings, beer pumps or period architecture can provide useful visual evidence of how licensed premises present themselves to customers. The image also works as a record of everyday social history, documenting a familiar type of British hospitality venue at a particular moment in time rather than presenting an idealised studio view.

'You just walk right in, just walk right in'...
I remember hearing and dancing to this one drunken night at the State Ballroom in Liverpool. I met an angel that night, who should have in retrospect changed my life. Sorry dear, I messed up not you. Funny thing fate and life.
'Ride on Time' is a 1989 song recorded by band Black Box. It was later released on their debut LP Dreamland. The song was a chart success in many countries and a number-one hit in the UK and Ireland.
The song was written and produced by the Italian production team Groove Groove Melody, consisting of DJ Daniele Davoli, programmer Mirko Limoni and musician Valerio Semplici. The team worked with French model Katrin Quinol, who was the face and image for the group Black Box. In the video and in live performances Quinol lip-synced to the original vocals.
The song sampled Loleatta Holloway's 1980 disco hit 'Love Sensation' and attracted some controversy for the uncredited use of Holloway's vocals from that song. Holloway's counsel engaged in a press attack on Black Box, successfully securing a settlement that paid the singer an undisclosed sum
the group had legally cleared the samples with Salsoul Records, who had released the original track, but Holloway was in arrears for advances from the label and thus was not recompensed by Salsoul. The song would be sampled 22 years later in the 2011 song 'Still Speedin'' by Sway.
For the re-release of the song, Heather Small re-recorded the vocals.
The song's title derives from a sample of Holloway singing the lyrics 'Thank you baby, 'cause you're right on time'. Daniele Davoli explained in Channel 4 documentary Pump Up The Volume that because of his limited knowledge of English at the time, he thought that Loleatta Holloway sang 'ride on time' instead of 'right on time'.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'The Bottle' is a song by American soul artist Gil Scott-Heron and musician Brian Jackson, released in 1974 on Strata-East Records in the United States.
The song was issued as the first and only single for Scott-Heron's and Jackson's album Winter in America (1974). It became an underground and cult hit upon its release, and the single peaked at number 15 on the R&
B Singles Chart. Cited by music critics as the album's best recording, the commercial success of 'The Bottle' helped lead to Jackson's and Scott-Heron's next recording contract with Arista Records. Similar to other compositions by Scott-Heron, the song has been sampled extensively by hip hop artists.

------------------------
The Liverpool Cains brewery was founded by Irish immigrant Robert Cain in 1858 when he was able to buy an established brewery. Cain had begun his brewing career aged 24 when he purchased a pub and brewed his own ales.
Within 25 years of founding his brewery, Cain had established 200 pubs, including The Philharmonic Dining Rooms, The Vines and the Central Commercial Hotel, which are currently listed as being of architectural merit. His personal mansion had each window arch inscribed with his monogram. In 1887 construction began on a second brewery.
In 1921, 14 years after Cain's death, the Cains brewery merged with Walkers of Warrington becoming Walker Cains. Then in 1923 the original Stanhope Street Brewery was sold to Higsons, who continued to brew Cains ales.
In 1985, Higsons was bought by Boddingtons of Manchester. Five years later Boddingtons opted to concentrate on pub ownership and sold all its breweries to Whitbread, at which point the Stanhope Street site was closed.
Since that time, the site has been re-opened by Danes, rescued by the Asian Dusanj brothers and neared administration again. Today it still brews a nice range of real ales and lager. The Brewery Tap (or The Grapes Inn as was), pictured here is an interesting place for a few pints of Cains or Cains. It is about a 15min walk from Liverpool Lime street.
Cains was the official beer of Liverpool's 2008 European Capital of Culture celebrations. For a full story of the Cains history checkout 'Chris Routledge's fine tome 'The Story of Liverpool in a Pint'.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PG60Y2 - There has been a building on our site since the 1300s although the first mention of the Kings itself is not until 1639. The Georgian frontage was added in 1753 although the size of the building was reduced in the 1890s when a decline in trade resulted in part of the front being turned into a shop. It wasn't until 1936 that the Kings left private ownership and was bought by the Friary Brewery of Guildford which later became part of Allied Breweries.
We've had a few famous guests over the years including Tsar Peter the Great (who left without paying his bill!) as well as some European royalty who met here in 1814 to discuss post war Europe after the Battle of Trafalgar. Tsar Peter the Great's visit is commemorated by a plaque on the front of the building which was unveiled in 1998 by the Russian Ambassador to commemorate the tricentenary of the visit.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy E6JB5A - The City Arms stands illuminated during the early evening on Kennedy Street in Manchester city centre, with two customers drinking beside a barrel table outside the traditional public house. Bright lamps light the green and gold fascia above the dark-painted frontage, while warm interior light is visible through the multi-paned windows. Hanging flower baskets, polished entrance doors, pint glasses and the compact pavement setting contribute to the appearance of a well-used local pub as daylight fades.
Located at 46-48 Kennedy Street, close to Albert Square, Manchester Town Hall and the city's historic municipal quarter, The City Arms is widely known for its emphasis on well-kept cask beer. Its comparatively modest frontage and narrow interior contrast with the larger civic and commercial buildings surrounding it. The pub has retained the intimate atmosphere of a traditional city-centre boozer rather than adopting the appearance of a modern chain bar or large entertainment venue.
The premises contain a compact two-room layout with surviving historic features and are included by CAMRA among pubs with interiors of recognised heritage interest. The bar is particularly associated with a frequently changing selection of hand-pulled real ales, alongside cider, whisky and gin. It has appeared regularly in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide and remains a popular destination for local drinkers, visiting beer enthusiasts and people seeking a traditional Manchester pub experience.
Central Manchester CAMRA named The City Arms its Pub of the Year for both 2024 and 2025, reflecting the venue's continuing reputation for cask ale quality and traditional hospitality. Its location near Manchester's civic heart has also made it a long-standing meeting place for office workers, councillors, visitors and city-centre regulars.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EYAX4M - The George and Dragon is a public house in the village of Great Budworth, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
The inn has three bays and is in two storeys. It is built in brick with a roughcast rendering on the upper storey. The roofs are hipped and covered in clay tiles. The central bay consists of a two-storey porch which projects forwards. Its lower storey has an elliptical-headed doorway, and in the upper storey is a four-light mullioned window. Each lateral bay has a four-light mullioned window in the lower storey and a three-light mullioned window in the upper storey. A tall rubbed brick chimneystack rises from the left side of the roof. Diagonally from the right corner is the inn sign. The cut-out pictorial sign itself originated in Nuremberg while its ornate wrought iron bracket was made by the estate blacksmith. On each side of the porch is an oak post-and-rail fence inscribed with a number of sayings. Above the inner door is a stone containing a verse written by Egerton-Warburton. Internally, in the bar, is a stone inscribed in Latin and the date 1722
