Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K13HF3 - The Silver Jubilee Bridge (originally the Runcorn“Widnes Bridge or informally the Runcorn Bridge) crosses the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal at Runcorn Gap between Runcorn and Widnes in Halton, England. It is a through arch bridge with a main arch span of 361 yards (330 m). It was opened in 1961 as a replacement for the Widnes-Runcorn Transporter Bridge. In 1975“77 the carriageway was widened, after which the bridge was given its official name in honour of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. It carries the A533 road and a cantilevered footway.
design was for a steel through arch bridge with a 10-yard (9 m) single carriageway. The design of the bridge is similar to that of Sydney Harbour Bridge but differs from it in that the side spans are continuous with the main span rather than being separate from them. This design feature was necessary to avoid the problem of oscillation due to the railway bridge. The main span measures 361 yards (330 m) and each side span is 83 yards (76 m)
Construction began on 25 April 1956. The contractors for the first phase of work, Leonard Fairclough of Adlington, cleared the ground and constructed the foundations for the piers. The contract for the second phase, the building of the main arch and the side arches, was given to Dorman Long of Middlesbrough who sub-contracted the building of the bridge deck, viaduct and roadworks to Leonard Fairclough. The carriageway was suspended from the arch by 48 lock-coil wire ropes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JD0ME3 - . Made at Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG 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. At the centre of the view is Panorama of The museum of Liverpool Life, at the Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK, L3 1DG. Other connected aspects include conservation architecture, historic frontage, public realm, tourism retail, conservation interest, period detail, British seaside culture, social history, everyday life, before-and-after reference, regional identity, architectural detailing, seaside souvenir, and changing streetscape. Today's relevance is strengthened by seasonality, heritage attractions and the continuing question of the vulnerability of resort economies to seasonality and changing visitor habits. From a 2025-onward perspective, redevelopment pressure and maintenance are closely linked to this subject, alongside the tension between conservation and redevelopment. Future viewers can use this scene from Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG to compare landscape treatment and surrounding development with whatever follows after refurbishment. The subject also sits alongside changing land use, historic townscape, place identity, documentary photography, traditional structure, period streetscape, traditional confectionery, and historical comparison. Details involving Panorama, Liverpool, Merseyside, museum, and Island make the image more specific than a generic view and strengthen its local or historical value. A later view of Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. The wider significance includes seasonality and the vulnerability of resort economies to seasonality and changing visitor habits within the specific setting of Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JD0ME4 - . An identifiable period record of Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG in 2022, retaining the practical detail and local context that distinguish a documentary photograph from a generic illustration. The photograph centres on Panorama of The museum of Liverpool Life, at the Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool, Merseyside, England, UK, L3 1DG. The image also relates to archival record, conservation interest, historic streetscape, coastal visitor economy, place identity, conservation architecture, social history, heritage landmark, community identity, local landmark, period streetscape, visitor attraction, historic townscape, and resort heritage. The modern context includes continuing discussion of retail pressure, heritage attractions and the vulnerability of resort economies to seasonality and changing visitor habits. For current editorial use, redevelopment pressure and embodied carbon provide additional context, especially through how historic fabric can be retained while places adapt to modern use. Small period details of street furniture and boundaries at Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG may become more significant with time, particularly following changed technology. A second descriptive layer includes visual archive, heritage asset, contemporary social history, day-trip culture, historical comparison, tourism retail, documentary photography, and historic frontage. References to Merseyside, Liverpool, museum, Island, and Panorama give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. By fixing the subject within Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. The scene further reflects retail pressure and the vulnerability of resort economies to seasonality and changing visitor habits within the specific setting of Pier Head, Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1DG.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2CB00F6 - The Mersey Gateway Bridge is a toll bridge between Runcorn and Widnes in Cheshire, England which spans the River Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal. The crossing, which opened in October 2017, has three traffic lanes in each direction and is approximately 1.5 km (1 mile) east (upstream) of the older Silver Jubilee Bridge. It forms part of a wider project to upgrade the infrastructure around the Mersey crossings that includes major civil engineering work to realign the road network, change and add tolling to the Silver Jubilee Bridge, and build new interchanges together with landscaping 9 km (6 miles) of highway
After extensive site preparation, construction work began on 7 May 2014 and the bridge opened to traffic just after midnight on 14 October 2017.
A 28.5 ha (70-acre) nature reserve was established around the bridge and the surrounding riverside, managed by the Mersey Gateway Environmental Trust, an independent charity tasked with promoting biodiversity, landscape, science, and educational opportunities
The bridge has three towers that support a cable-stayed crossing over the river, while the southern approach creates a second bridge over the Ship Canal. The three towers are different heights: an 80 m (260 ft) central pylon, a 110 m (360 ft) pylon on the north side and a 125 m (410 ft) south pylon.
During the Covid-19 lockdown period in 2020, an application by Halton Borough Council to suspend tolling operations was made to support key workers. This was rejected by the Department for Transport despite the broad support of local MPs in March and again in April 2020

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AAT318 - Warrington was founded by the Romans at an important crossing place on the River Mersey. A new settlement was established by the Saxons. By the Middle Ages, Warrington had emerged as a market town at the lowest bridging point of the river. A local tradition of textile and tool production dates from this time.
The modern Borough of Warrington was formed in 1974 with the amalgamation of the former County Borough of Warrington, part of the Golborne Urban District, the Lymm Urban District, part of the Runcorn Rural District, the Warrington Rural District and part of the Whiston Rural District.
The River Mersey runs through the heart of the town dividing it in two. There are only two main thoroughfares crossing the Mersey in Warrington: at Warrington Bridge at Bridge Foot and at the Kingsway Bridge. Before the M6 was built, these routes were very busy with through traffic.
The Manchester Ship Canal runs through the south of the town
three swing bridges and a high-level cantilever bridge provide crossing points. Although shipping movements on the ship canal are far less frequent than in years past, they can cause severe delay to local road traffic. The Bridgewater Canal runs through the borough from the village of Lymm to Walton Hall and Gardens, a local park/leisure area. The course of the Sankey Canal runs through the west of the town, although most of it is not suitable for navigation. More than 2,000 Warrington homes and businesses will benefit from the town's multi-million pound flood defence scheme, officially opened today (26 January 2018) by Environment Agency Chief Executive, Sir James Bevan and the town's Mayor, Councillor Les Morgan.
The scheme is one of the largest value flood defence projects constructed in the region in recent times, and will significantly reduce flood risk to the town which has been no stranger to flooding “ given it sits in naturally low-lying land and within the path of the River Mersey and its tributaries.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy PCTA9J - Merseyrail is both a train operating company (TOC) and a commuter rail network in and around Liverpool City Region, England. It is a part of Serco-Abellio, and is formed of two electrified lines of the National Rail network known as the Northern Line and the Wirral Line which run underground in central Liverpool. A third line, separate from the electrified network, is named the City Line, which is a term used by the governing body Merseytravel referring to local services it sponsors on the Liverpool to Manchester Lines and Liverpool to Wigan Line operated by Northern.
The Merseyrail network has 68 stations and 75 miles of route, of which 6.5 miles are underground. Carrying approximately 110,000 passengers each weekday,[6] or 34 million passengers per year, it forms the most heavily used urban railway network in the UK outside London. The network is operated by a joint venture between franchise holder Serco and Abellio, who superseded Arriva Trains Merseyside in 2003. The contract is for 25 years expiring in 2028. Serco-Abellio operate a fleet of 59 trains and as of 2015, employ 1,200 people.
The large comprehensive urban network was formed in 1977 by merging separate rail lines by the construction of new tunnels under Liverpool city centre and Birkenhead. Although financial constraints have prevented some of the 1970s plans for the network being realised, the network has been extended, with additional extensions proposed.
The Merseyrail name became the official brand for the network in the days of British Rail, surviving several franchise holders, although the name was not used by Arriva when holding the franchise. Despite this, Merseytravel continued the Merseyrail branding at stations, allowing the name to be adopted colloquially. Merseyrail is referred to as Merseyrail Electrics by National Rail Enquiries, and as Serco/Abellio Merseyrail by Merseytravel.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DN6NAA - . Boat on the Sankey Canal Reflection Warrington Cheshire England UK. Photographed at Sankey, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. The photograph was taken on 22 September 2013. 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 wider composition gives a broader sense of the surroundings, showing the principal subject in relation to more of the streetscape, landscape or public space. The scene is closely associated with Boat, Sankey, Canal, Reflection, Warrington, Cheshire, pano, panorama, wide and shot, 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. Search themes naturally include British pub heritage, real ale and beer culture, licensed premises, hospitality, public houses, local drinking traditions and the role of pubs within town and city life. Where brewery names, pumps, windows, pub signs or period fittings are present, they add useful detail for features on brewing history, hospitality branding and traditional licensed interiors or exteriors.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is one of my favourite tracks from one of my favourite vinyl albums, purchased in 'Yanks' off Oxford Road Manchester circa 1979.
Oops! Wrong Planet is an album released in 1977 by Todd Rundgren's band, Utopia. It delivers a markedly trimmed down, pop-oriented, and somewhat cynical direction for the band following the optimistic and progressively influenced previous album, Ra.
The band were Roger Powell on Vocals/ Keyboards, Trumpet, Powell Probe, Todd Rundgren: Vocals, Guitar, Saxophone, Production and Engineering, Kasim Sulton: Vocals, Bass Guitar and John 'Willie' Wilcox: Vocals, Drums.
Rundgren had a successful solo career before, during, and after Utopia, as did his bandmates, although to more modest levels. Roger Powell toured with David Bowie for the live album Stage, and previously worked as protege for Robert Moog. Powell's solo album Air Pocket as voted no 1 in 1980 by Keyboard Magazine magazine but after the demise of Utopia he had to give up performing for some time due to Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
Prior to Utopia Willie recorded the Rundgren produced 'War Babies' album and continued to tour with Daryl Hall &
John Oates. Willie Wilcox was the senior composer and sound designer for NBC Universal Television from 1999\u20132005, and wrote and programmed 'We Connect', the no 1 dance hit for artist Stacy Q. He continues to write and produce for television, film and artists with his company Willie Wilcox Music. Wilcox composed the ringwalk music used by the current #1 ranked boxer in the world Manny Pacquiao. Bassist Kasim Sulton has toured as a band leader for Meat Loaf, and performed with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Scandal, Hall and Oates, and others.
As any visitor to Liverpool by mainline train will testify, this is a panorama of Lime Street. It shows the Crown pub, Lime St Station, St georges hall and the former Great North Western Hotel now converted into a hall of residence for students of John Moores University, which opened in 1996.
This is one UK city that has in recent times suffered from an an almost biblical exodus. Liverpool's population peaked in 1930s with 846,101 recorded in the 1931 census. Since then the city has experienced negative population growth every decade, with at its peak over 100,000 people leaving the city between 1971 and 1981.
Changes in the mode and type of shipping processed by the port of Liverpool, ie the rise of containerisation, had a big influence on this.
