Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3G1388N - . A set of old hardback volumes of The British Encyclopaedia is lined up neatly on a bookshelf. Dark blue bindings bear gilded titles and alphabetical volume ranges, with visible labels identifying the reference collection and its 1933 date. The spines suggest a comprehensive printed source of general knowledge from the early twentieth century. The photograph illustrates the physical format of reference works before online search engines and digital encyclopaedias became prevalent, as well as the survival of older books in personal and institutional collections. Printed reference works provided an organised means of accessing general knowledge long before internet search became routine. A multivolume encyclopaedia divided information alphabetically so that readers could find a topic by consulting the appropriate bound volume. The substantial weight, uniform bindings and carefully arranged shelf sequence gave these publications a characteristic appearance in homes, schools and libraries. Older editions are also historical artefacts, preserving the vocabulary, assumptions and level of knowledge available at the time of publication. Their contents may now be outdated or superseded, but the volumes remain useful records of print culture, bookbinding, typography and the history of education. Physical sets still attract collectors and readers interested in the history of publishing and how knowledge was organised in earlier decades. The pictured 1933 encyclopaedia represents a publication created during a period of profound social and technological change, before the Second World War and long before electronic reference services. The orderly A to Z sequence and matching bindings make the set recognisable as a comprehensive reference library rather than a selection of unrelated books. Gold lettering across blue 1933 British Encyclopaedia volumes highlights the design of an interwar reference-book collection.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3G13899 - . A plate of traditional Georgian khinkali dumplings is served in a restaurant setting at Little Georgia, 87 Goldsmiths Row, Hackney, east London. The large hand-shaped dumplings have pleated tops gathered into distinctive knots, with their cooked dough forming soft folds around a savoury filling. The close photograph highlights the flour-dusted, gently browned surface and the characteristic shape associated with Georgian cuisine. Little Georgia specialises in dishes from the Caucasus region, and khinkali are among its best-known savoury specialities. Khinkali are usually shaped by gathering dough into pleats around a filling and twisting the top into a small handle. They can contain seasoned minced meat and a broth that stays inside the dumpling during cooking, although fillings can vary. The restaurant's published menu offers a khinkali dish with pork and beef, but the exact contents of these photographed individual dumplings cannot be confirmed solely by their exterior. The restaurant's Goldsmiths Row address links the dish with independent Georgian dining in Hackney, near Broadway Market, an area known for varied small restaurants and food businesses. For the Georgian dumplings, sausages, filled pastries and savoury baked goods can take many regional forms, with names that identify a place or an established culinary tradition. For the Georgian dumplings, presentation is part of their appeal: a visible casing, folded pastry edge, decorative topping or clearly printed shop sign helps customers recognise what they are buying. For the Georgian dumplings, independent producers may emphasise craftsmanship, provenance and continuity with older recipes, while markets make these foods accessible for quick meals or snacks. Filled Georgian dumplings served at Little Georgia Cafe in Hackney provide a close-up reference to a familiar Georgian dish. The filling is enclosed by folded dough.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FN66X1 - . Green Party and rainbow campaign badges are arranged on sterling banknotes and coins in a conceptual image about political funding, values and electoral campaigning in Britain. The green I'm voting Green badge places the party at the centre of the photograph, while the rainbow badge adds themes of social liberalism, equality and progressive politics. Cash is used as a deliberate editorial device to represent donations, membership income, election spending and the wider cost of running a political organisation. For the Green Party, finance can be linked to the challenge of converting growing vote share and local support into constituency organisation, candidates, staff, advertising and national campaigning. The photograph is also useful for reporting on who funds political parties, the transparency of large donations and whether smaller parties can compete financially with established national organisations. Under Great Britain's party-finance rules, political parties must check whether donors above the relevant threshold are permissible and must report qualifying donations and loans to the Electoral Commission. The notes and coins should therefore be read as symbolism rather than evidence of a specific payment. Green politics also connects the image with debates over climate policy, renewable energy, public transport, housing, social justice and environmental taxation, all areas where political choices have financial consequences. The combination of money and badges gives picture editors a straightforward visual for stories about Green Party fundraising, election resources, campaign finance, voter support and the economics behind attempts to turn issue-based popularity into parliamentary representation. The rainbow badge adds equality and progressive-campaign themes while the Green badge keeps the party unmistakable. Mixed cash denominations also suggest grassroots fundraising and recurring member contributions.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F3NDR5 - One of the first economy passengers walks along the central aisle of a largely empty Ryanair aircraft while boarding takes place before departure. Rows of distinctive blue seats with bright yellow surrounds extend towards the front of the narrow-body cabin, with safety information and advertising panels attached to the seatbacks. Overhead luggage lockers remain open as travellers find their allocated places and prepare for a European short-haul flight. The image provides an everyday view of low-cost air travel during the busy summer holiday period
The photograph has particular editorial relevance following controversy over Ryanair's family seating arrangements. In June 2026, the UK Competition and Markets Authority opened an investigation into whether the airline's previous policy complied with consumer law. Adults travelling with children aged between two and eleven had been required to pay for a reserved seat, typically costing about £8 each way,although seats beside that adult could then be allocated to as many as four children without an additional charge.
Ryanair subsequently changed the policy so that families choosing free random allocation could receive adjoining seats after check-in without paying the compulsory adult reservation fee. These seats would normally be allocated towards the rear of the aircraft. Passengers wanting a particular row,additional legroom or another preferred position could still choose to pay for reserved seating. Ryanair described its decision as a reluctant adjustment and maintained that its earlier arrangements were lawful,while the regulator continued examining the historic policy
The dispute contributed to a wider debate over the true cost of budget flying. Low headline fares can rise after optional or unavoidable charges are added for seat selection,cabin baggage, checked luggage,priority boarding,airport check-in, infant travel and other services.Families may face especially high additional costs when several things addded

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX156T - Levenshulme, Manchester, this street level scene shows election campaigning imagery in a residential setting: a bold green VOTE GREEN sign for the Green Party mounted on a white stake, with a Palestinian flag visible inside the adjacent window. The composition layers politics and place, using the brick wall, window frame and signage to frame a story about local campaigning, doorstep politics and how international issues can surface in neighbourhood streets through flags and window posters.
This image is suitable for editorial use to illustrate UK elections and by elections, party campaigning, political messaging, voter persuasion, grassroots organising, and the visual language of posters, garden stakes and window signs. It also works for coverage of canvassing, leafleting, get out the vote activity, polling day reminders, and the branding used by parties to build momentum. The Palestinian flag introduces an immediate context of solidarity with Palestine and public concern about the conflict in Gaza.
In some constituencies, Gaza has become a live doorstep issue and parties are aware that voter anger and humanitarian concern can reshape local loyalties. The juxtaposition here can illustrate commentary that the Greens may be trying to pick up pro Gaza votes, alongside more familiar themes such as climate policy, local environment, housing, public services, transport, and cost of living pressures.
With no people visible, the focus is on symbols and communication: the sign's typography, the Green Party logo, and the flag's colours behind glass, suggesting how private homes become public statements during campaign periods. Levenshulme sits within the Gorton and Denton parliamentary constituency and is a diverse inner suburban area of Manchester, making the photograph useful for stories about democracy, civic participation, community identity and political advertising in urban Britain.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DX14AM - A cluster of bright green Vote Green campaign posters displayed on a battered roadside hoarding on Stockport Road in Levenshulme, Manchester, England. The repeated Green Party branding creates a strong visual impression of grassroots campaigning in an everyday urban setting, with the posters appearing as a wall of political messaging aimed at passing motorists, bus passengers and pedestrians on one of south Manchester's main arterial routes. This image works well as an editorial and documentary photograph of local electioneering, street-level democracy and the visual language of British political campaigning. The rough condition of the hoarding, with torn paper remnants and weathered boards, adds realism and a slightly scrappy campaign feel, making the photograph especially suitable for stories about local activism, low-budget visibility tactics, neighbourhood politics and the contest for attention in public space. Levenshulme is a suburb of Manchester on the A6 corridor between the city centre and Stockport, within the M19 postcode district, which gives the image clear geographic relevance for features on south Manchester, local elections, party activism and district-level political identity. Because the posters simply say Vote Green without naming a candidate, the image is also commercially useful beyond one single contest, and can illustrate wider themes such as environmental politics, progressive campaigning, poster-based publicity, grassroots organising, voter persuasion, and the use of repeated branding in UK elections. Suitable for editorial use on Manchester politics, Green Party campaigning, local democracy, British elections, neighbourhood activism, urban political communication and public poster displays

Born in the parish of Dymock, Gloucestershire, he was the son of Walter Kyrle, a barrister and MP. The family had lived at Ross for many generations
John Kyrle was educated at Balliol College, Oxford, matriculating in 1654
From his early twenties he adopted a frugal lifestyle and instead of utilising his wealth for himself, he sought to invest in the greater good of his locality and community that lived there.
In everything that concerned the welfare of the small town of Ross in which he lived he took a lively interest
in the education of the children and in improving and embellishing the town. He planted trees in and around the town, with two or three workmen to assist with the manual work. He delighted in mediating between those who had quarrelled and in preventing costly lawsuits between prominent townspeople. He was generous to the poor and spent all he had in good works.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YRW - Hale is a village and civil parish in the Borough of Halton, Cheshire, England with a population of 1,800. The village is north of the River Mersey, and just to the east of the boundary with Merseyside. It is 2+1⁄2 miles east of Speke in Liverpool, and 4 miles south-west of Widnes. The nearby village of Halebank is to the north-east.
Historically part of Lancashire, until 1 April 1974 the area formed part of the Whiston Rural District.
The population of the parish is stable with a population of 1,898 (2001 census), 1,841 (2011 census) and 1,800 (2021 census).
John Middleton (15781623), the Childe of Hale, was reputed to be nine feet, three inches tall, or 2.8 m. His cottage and grave are located in the village. Just outside St Mary's Church was a wooden carving of the Childe Of Hale that is said to have been life-sized. It was replaced in 2013 by a 3-metre bronze statue by sculptor Diane Gorvin
Middleton was born in the village of Hale, near Liverpool. According to contemporary accounts and his epitaph, he grew to the height of 9 feet 3 inches (2.82 m) and slept with his feet hanging out the window of his house.
Because of his size the landlord and sheriff of Lancashire, Gilbert Ireland, hired him as a bodyguard. When King James I stopped by in 1617 to knight Ireland he heard about Middleton and invited both of them to the court, which they accepted in 1620. Middleton beat the King's champion in wrestling and in doing so broke the man's thumb. He received £20, a large amount of money in those times. Jealous of his wealth, Middleton's companions mugged him or swindled him out of his money while he was returning to Hale. Middleton died impoverished in 1623. He was buried in the cemetery of St Mary's Church in Hale. The epitaph reads, Here lyeth the bodie of John Middleton the Childe of Hale. Nine feet three. Borne 1578 Dyede 1623. He is likely one of the tallest people in history. If these height markings are accurate, he would surpass Robert Wadlow's stature

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RDF3R3 - Henley Royal Regatta (or Henley Regatta, its original name pre-dating Royal patronage) is a rowing event held annually on the River Thames by the town of Henley-on-Thames, England. It was established on 26 March 1839. It differs from the three other regattas rowed over approximately the same course, Henley Women's Regatta, Henley Masters Regatta, and Henley Town and Visitors' Regatta, each of which is an entirely separate event.
The regatta lasts for six days (Tuesday to Sunday) ending on the first weekend in July. Races are head-to-head knock out competitions, raced over a course of 1 mile 550 yards (2,112 m). The regatta regularly attracts international crews to race. The most prestigious event at the regatta is the Grand Challenge Cup for Men's Eights, which has been awarded since the regatta was first staged.
As the regatta pre-dates any national or international rowing organisation, it has its own rules and organisation, although it is recognised by both British Rowing (the governing body of rowing in England and Wales) and FISA (the International Federation of Rowing Associations). The regatta is organised by a self-perpetuating body of Stewards, who are largely former rowers themselves. One exception to this rule is that the Mayor of Henley-on Thames Council is an ex-officio Steward. Pierre de Coubertin modelled elements of the organisation of the International Olympic Committee on the Henley Stewards.
The regatta is regarded as part of the English social season. As with other events in the season, certain enclosures at the regatta have strict dress codes
The qualifying races take the form of a timed processional race up the regatta course, with the fastest crews qualifying. Times are released for non-qualifying crews only. This does not stop an enthusiastic band of unofficial timers with synchronised watches working out how fast their first round opposition might be.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JM9P4H - A slot machine (American English), fruit machine (British English) or poker machine (Australian English and New Zealand English) is a gambling machine that creates a game of chance for its customers. Slot machines are also known pejoratively as one-armed bandits because of the large mechanical levers affixed to the sides of early mechanical machines and the games' ability to empty players' pockets and wallets as thieves would.[1]
A slot machine's standard layout features a screen displaying three or more reels that spin when the game is activated. Some modern slot machines still include a lever as a skeuomorphic design trait to trigger play. However, the mechanics of early machines have been superseded by random number generators, and most are now operated using buttons and touchscreens.
Slot machines include one or more currency detectors that validate the form of payment, whether coin, cash, voucher, or token. The machine pays out according to the pattern of symbols displayed when the reels stop spinning. Slot machines are the most popular gambling method in casinos and constitute about 70% of the average U.S. casino's income.[2]
Digital technology has resulted in variations in the original slot machine concept. As the player is essentially playing a video game, manufacturers can offer more interactive elements, such as advanced bonus rounds and more varied video graphics.

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. The view is firmly rooted in a real location rather than a constructed studio setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2D8NX50 - The Identity and Passport Service was established on 1 April 2006, following the passing of the Identity Cards Act 2006 which merged the UK Passport Service with the Home Office's Identity Cards programme to form the new executive agency.
In 2007, the ninety British diplomatic missions that issued passports were consolidated into seven regional passport processing centres (RPPCs) based in Düsseldorf, Hong Kong, Madrid, Paris, Pretoria, Washington, D.C. and Wellington with an additional centre in Dublin.
The Identity Documents Act 2010 repealed the Identity Cards Act 2006, and required the cancellation of all identity cards and the destruction of all data held.
On 1 April 2011 responsibility for British passports issued overseas passed from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to IPS. The printing of passports issued overseas had been done in the UK since August 2011 and the administrative work performed at these RPPCs was repatriated to the UK during the 201314 financial year. From April 2014 all British nationals based overseas had to apply for their passports directly to the UK.
The Identity and Passport Service was renamed HM Passport Office on 13 May 2013 in an effort to reflect the agency's departure from its association with the scrapped National Identity Register and ID cards. The government stated in the press release that The inclusion of 'Her Majesty's' in the title recognises that passports are the property of the Crown, bear the royal coat of arms and are issued under the royal prerogative.
HMPO's executive agency status was removed on 1 October 2014 and it became a division within the Home Office. Its board reports directly to the Home Office's executive management board

Political career
Mosson served prison sentences in the 1960s for housebreaking, shoplifting and assault, which he attributed to being an alcoholic at the time
an affliction he later overcame.[2] He was first elected as a Glasgow councillor for Anderston in 1984. He was elected Lord Provost in 1999, replacing Pat Lally. He was succeeded in 2003 by Liz Cameron.
Mosson was associated with many notable events during his time as Lord Provost. These included: the UEFA Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen at Hampden Park in 2002, the twinning of the city with Havana and the promotion of the £500,000,000 Glasgow Harbour Development.
As Lord Lieutenant of the City of Glasgow, the Lord Provost accompanied the Queen at the opening of the Glasgow Science Centre and the Lighthouse. He represented the city at the funerals of The Queen Mother and Cardinal Thomas Winning.
In November 2013, Mosson announced that he had decided to vote Yes in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, insisting the referendum campaign is not a time for party politics

The lake is privately owned and financed by Eton College, which spent £17 million developing it. Additional grants, totalling £500,000, were obtained from Sport England, UK Sport, the DCMS and SEEDA in order to build the lake's finish tower. The project was completed in 2006, after 10 years of construction. Although it is primarily for use by the school, the facilities are hired out for rowing, as well as for canoeing, dragon boating, open water swimming and triathlon.
Since the lake was opened, a number of annual regattas that were previously held on the River Thames have been transferred to the lake. These include the Marlow Regatta in June, the Metropolitan Regatta in May/June, and the Wallingford Regatta in May.
The lake's dimensions follow the FISA rules for a rowing lake suitable for hosting a World Rowing Championship, World Rowing Cup or Olympic regatta:
Stillwater, with consistent water conditions
2,200 metres (7,200 ft) straight length for racing
8 rowing lanes, each 13.5 metres (44 ft) wide
Minimum water depth of 3.5 metres (11 ft)
A return channel allowing boats to move to the start, separated from the main lake by an island

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4MN0 - Greyfriars Bobby's Bar occupies the ground floor of a row of Georgian houses adjoining the historic Candlemakers' Hall, built in 1722.
The name of the bar is inspired by an Edinburgh legend of a scruffy Skye terrier called Bobby. When his owner died in 1858, Bobby faithfully watched over his grave and was buried alongside his master in the Greyfriars Kirkyard in 1872.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4KYR - . Comptometer - key-driven mechanical calculator showing numbered button keys. Photographed on 20 December 2014. The recorded location is England. The comptometer was the first commercially successful key-driven mechanical calculator. Looking at the subject's development, mechanical calculators, time clocks and electronic valves belong to successive generations of office and industrial technology before solid-state electronics and networked computers became dominant
Their keys, dials, circuits and mechanisms make visible tasks that modern digital systems perform almost invisibly. In the longer view, technical artefacts show how innovation changes daily life: office machines reduced clerical labour, telephones reshaped communication, cameras altered image-making and electronic components enabled broadcasting and computing
Close-up photographs preserve interfaces and designs that quickly vanish from use. Looking at the subject's development, clothing details record both craftsmanship and evolving taste
Tailoring, buttons, fabrics and formal dress can reveal manufacturing quality, social conventions and fashion cycles that move between bespoke production and mass-market clothing. For the 2026 context, calculation, payroll, attendance and communications are largely software-based, while vintage office and electronic equipment survives mainly in museums, collections and specialist restoration
Such objects are increasingly useful for illustrating the material history behind modern digital work. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that technology is dominated by connected devices, cloud services and rapid product cycles
Historic hardware therefore provides a useful counterpoint to contemporary debates about electronic waste, right-to-repair, data dependence and the speed with which once-common devices become obsolete. Additional high-relevance terminology includes vintage technology, thermionic valve, vacuum tube, and pre-digital technology.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED4KYX - . Comptometer - key-driven mechanical calculator showing numbered button keys in monochrome. Photographed on 20 December 2014. The recorded location is England. The comptometer was the first commercially successful key-driven mechanical calculator. From a heritage perspective, pre-digital equipment provides a physical record of how calculation, attendance recording and electronic control were once mechanised
Comptometer keyboards, clocking-in machines and thermionic valves each represent specialist technologies that required training, maintenance and hands-on operation. The historical context is that everyday technology provides a compact history of design and changing behaviour
Rotary dials, thermionic valves, mechanical keypads, film cameras and early televisions were once ordinary equipment but now illustrate obsolete standards, manufacturing methods and patterns of work or communication. From a heritage perspective, textiles and clothing form part of material culture, linking personal appearance with skilled trades, manufacturing and retail
A close-up can therefore illustrate not only fashion but the techniques and labour behind a garment. As of 2026, calculation, payroll, attendance and communications are largely software-based, while vintage office and electronic equipment survives mainly in museums, collections and specialist restoration
Such objects are increasingly useful for illustrating the material history behind modern digital work. The subject remains topical in 2026 because smartphones, digital services and AI-enabled devices make older mechanical and analogue technologies appear even more distant, increasing their value for editorial comparisons about technological change, repairability, planned obsolescence and digital dependence. Further subject-specific language includes vintage technology, office machine, time clock, vacuum tube, electronic component, pre-digital technology, computing history, and business machine.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy HE7KXY - Sandy Row is a street in south Belfast, Northern Ireland. It lends its name to the surrounding residential community, which is predominantly Protestant working-class. The Sandy Row area had a population of 2,153 in 2001.[1][2] It is a staunchly loyalist area of Belfast, being a traditional heartland for affiliation with the paramilitary Ulster Defence Association (UDA) and the Orange Order.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDJPGN - . Ladies stained glass pub toilet door in blue , England , UK. Photographed at Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England, UK. The photograph was taken on 13 July 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 scene is closely associated with Ladies, stained, glass, toilet, door, public conveniences, conveniences, transgender, Angela Rayner and lady, 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. This particular view is catalogued under Alamy image reference DDJPGN, distinguishing it from other photographs of the same or related subject.
