Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FC89MK - . Side and rear elevation of northwich library with construction barriers shows the historic Northwich Library at 89 Witton Street during a major heritage refurbishment in August 2026. Cheshire West and Chester Council confirmed that H.H. Smith & Sons Co. Ltd had been appointed for the final phase, beginning in June 2026, after an extended procurement process for the complex building. The council expects the library to reopen in spring 2027 as an accessible library and learning space, with an accessible first floor, a Skills and Employment Hub and flexible activity and meeting rooms. Restoration work includes roof and façade repairs and the overhaul of original glazing, with leaded glass being reinstated where later modern panes had been inserted. The project is significant because public libraries increasingly function as multi-purpose civic spaces, offering digital access, learning, advice and community activity as well as books. In Northwich the building is also a prominent heritage asset, so the scheme combines conservation with modern accessibility and service design. As a documentary stock image, the scene has value beyond its immediate subject because signs, clothing, street furniture and commercial presentation all date the moment. Future comparisons can show how policy, technology, fashion and the built environment changed after 2026. The subject provides a concrete visual reference for editors needing a real location rather than a generic illustration of library. Because the photograph is tied to a specific date, it can later be compared with subsequent changes in signage, ownership, regulation, public use or the surrounding streetscape. It additionally captures ordinary material culture of 2026, including the graphic design, technology, clothing or infrastructure through which broader trends become visible at street level. Useful for dated UK editorial coverage. Strong archive value for later comparison. A clear record of Britain in the 2020s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H9PM1X - . This dated editorial view of England in 2016 captures more than the immediate subject, retaining clues about local use, design, activity and change. At the centre of the view is Caution, Bees at Work sign, near hive, autumn. The subject also carries associations with contemporary social history, changing land use, directional sign, public realm, social history, archival record, regional identity, roadside information, visitor guidance, street furniture, public information signage, public-facing notice, orientation signage, and local character. The modern context includes continuing discussion of accessibility, local identity and the need for accessible information that works without digital technology. Future viewers can use this scene from England to compare street furniture and boundaries with whatever follows after redevelopment. The subject also sits alongside historical comparison, before-and-after reference, local information board, documentary photography, period detail, instructional sign, community identity, and route marker. The combination of autumn and Caution anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. For England, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. The scene further reflects accessibility and the need for accessible information that works without digital technology in a form that can be compared with future views of England. Its period value extends to accessibility and the importance of clear wayfinding in public and transport environments within the real-world context of England. The location additionally provides evidence of transport information and the need for accessible information that works without digital technology within the specific setting of England. The photograph keeps a trace of local identity as part of England's history.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H5521P - John Gower (c. 1330 “ October 1408) was an English poet, a contemporary of William Langland and the Pearl Poet, and a personal friend of Geoffrey Chaucer.
He is remembered primarily for three major works, the Mirour de l'Omme, Vox Clamantis, and Confessio Amantis, three long poems written in French, Latin, and English respectively, which are united by common moral and political themes.
His tomb is in Southwark Cathedral, London, with the following inscription:
This is the tomb of John Gower (d. 1408). Poet Laureate to Richard II and to Henry IV. Gower has been called the first English poet because, when most literary people wrote in French or Latin, he wrote also in English. He had a house and chapel within the precincts of the Augustinian Priory, (St. Mary Overie), to the north of this Cathedral Church. He left money for the founding of a chantry chapel in which he was buried. This chapel which stood on the north side of the nave was destroyed but the present tomb stands on or near the site on which it was originally built. The head of the effigy rests on three books. Gower wrote Vox Clamantis in Latin, Speculum Meditantis in French and Confessio Amantis in English

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H0GDCP - 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 H8FH99 - . Recorded at the recorded location in 2016, the image fixes a recognisable subject and its environment at one point in time, giving later viewers a reliable basis for comparison. The photograph centres on Waiting to cross Knutsford Road Swing Bridge, Latchford,Crossing the Manchester Ship Canal at Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. The subject also carries associations with everyday life, transport accessibility, roadside stop, English identity, residential flag display, place identity, passenger transport, historical comparison, national emblem, street-side transport, street-level symbolism, national flag display, local bus network, and public realm. The modern context includes continuing discussion of reliability, integrated transport and the shift toward cleaner buses and integrated ticketing. For current editorial use, community cohesion and political symbolism provide additional context, especially through the way familiar symbols acquire different meanings during major events. For later comparison, the photograph preserves signage and branding at the recorded location, details that may look very different after refurbishment. The subject also sits alongside bus route infrastructure, national symbolism, before-and-after reference, public transport information, community identity, local mobility, roadside transit, and civic identity. The combination of Crossing, Knutsford, cross, Waiting, and Latchford anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. The period setting at the recorded location helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. The location additionally provides evidence of reliability and the shift toward cleaner buses and integrated ticketing without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. The photograph keeps evidence of earlier appearance for future local research.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H8FHA1 - . This authentic period view of the recorded location in 2016 preserves the main subject alongside smaller contextual details that can acquire greater historical value as places and uses change. The image documents Port Warrington, Manchester Ship Canal, Cheshire, England UK. Further facets of the scene include historic streetscape, architectural detail, historical comparison, community identity, everyday life, period building, place identity, historic townscape, heritage landmark, public realm, visual archive, before-and-after reference, archival record, and heritage asset. In present-day coverage, the subject reaches into energy retrofit and maintenance, not least because of how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change. Small period details of street furniture and boundaries at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following changing commercial priorities. The surrounding story also includes changing streetscape, architectural character, regional identity, built heritage, local character, conservation architecture, social history, and documentary photography. Elements such as Manchester and Canal add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. The wider significance includes energy retrofit and how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. Another strand within the photograph is tourism and the balance between conservation, retrofit and modern accessibility in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. The setting also helps illustrate planning control and how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change within the real-world context of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GY002A - St Wilfrid's Church is in Church Lane, Grappenhall, a village in Warrington, Cheshire, England. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Great Budworth
The church is Norman in origin, built probably in the earlier part of the 12th century and completed about 1120. This was a small and simple church, consisting of a nave, chancel and, possibly, an apse.[3] The foundations of this church were discovered during the 1873“74 restoration.[4]
A chantry chapel was added by the Boydell family in 1334 in a position where the south aisle now stands. From 1529 the church was largely rebuilt in local sandstone. The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built. In 1539 the south aisle was added, which incorporated the Boydell chapel.
The south porch was added in 1641 and at this time the west wall was strengthened. In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built. There was a more substantial restoration in 1873“74 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about £4,000

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJ795B - . Made at the recorded location in 2016, this photograph records a real place and moment, preserving details that may later be altered by redevelopment, rebranding, changing ownership or different public use. The scene records Man & Woman on door, Northern Quarter Artwork, NQ, Manchester, North West England, UK, M1 1JR. The frame also records themes of visual archive, graffiti heritage, creative placemaking, place identity, contemporary mural, changing streetscape, local character, archival record, period detail, public art, public-realm art, mural culture, historical comparison, and creative district. The wider contemporary story combines graffiti policy, public art and the role of murals in defining creative neighbourhoods. Future viewers can use this scene from the recorded location to compare transport arrangements and footfall with whatever follows after different community use. The wider setting retains connections with temporary artwork, street creativity, regional identity, public realm, everyday life, documentary photography, before-and-after reference, and urban artwork. The recorded references to Manchester, Quarter, Artwork, Northern, and Woman preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. The dated record from the recorded location makes the broader context more tangible. A further contemporary connection is graffiti policy and how regeneration can support and displace informal culture at the same time in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location. The wider significance includes gentrification and the blurred line between commissioned public art and unsanctioned graffiti within the real-world context of the recorded location. Another strand within the photograph is tourism and the role of murals in defining creative neighbourhoods within the specific setting of the recorded location. Image GJ795B also preserves another period-specific detail for later comparison.

With increased tram traffic brought about by the expansion of the Metrolink network, it became necessary to build a new route across Manchester City Centre to alleviate congestion and improve capacity.
Known as the Second City Crossing (or 2CC), the project involved laying 0.8 miles (1.3 km) of tram tracks from St Peter's Square tram stop via Princess Street, Albert Square, Cross Street and Corporation Street to rejoin the original Metrolink line just before Victoria station. One new tram stop was built at Exchange Square. The project also involved re-ordering St Peter's Square and re-siting the Cenotaph to accommodate an enlarged tram interchange and junction. Construction began in 2014 and the 2CC route opened fully in February 2017

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJBNNC - Chinatown in Manchester, England is an ethnic enclave in the city centre. It is the second largest Chinatown in the United Kingdom and the third largest in Europe. It has an archway on Faulkner Street which was completed in 1987 and contains many Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Nepali, Vietnamese, Singaporean and Malaysian restaurants, shops, bakeries and supermarkets.
The first settlers to arrive in the city came in the early 20th century
according to the BBC, Many arrived alone and were engaged in what was seen as the traditional trade of laundries. Manchester's first Chinese restaurant, Ping Hong, opened on Mosley Street in 1948, on the eve of a Chinese immigration wave that would commence during the 1950s. Manchester did not have a significant Chinese population, reaching only about 2,000. However, after World War II, there were severe labour shortages, and in response, the government passed the British Nationality Act 1948, which allowed easier access into the country. Additionally, Hong Kong's rapid urbanisation meant that many farmers and traditional residents' homes were being destroyed by the urban sprawl, so many decided to migrate.
The area's beginnings are rooted in the restaurant business, as many Chinese restaurants surfaced soon after the immigration boom. By the 1970s other Chinese businesses began to emerge, such as medicine shops, Chinese supermarkets, as well as financial and legal services, all serving the employees of the expanding number of Chinese restaurants in the area. There was even a Hong Kong government office and a branch of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation during the 1970s. In 1989 the Chinese Arts Centre opened in Chinatown. In 2013 the Bank of East Asia opted to open their first Manchester branch in Chinatown, situated on Charlotte Street. The branch officially opened on 25 October 2013, in a ceremony attended by the Lord Mayor of Manchester.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXHPD - Princes Street Gardens is a public park in the centre of Edinburgh, Scotland, in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. The Gardens were created in two phases in the 1770s and 1820s following the long draining of the Nor Loch and building of the New Town, beginning in the 1760s. The loch, situated on the north side of the town, was originally an artificial creation forming part of its medieval defences and made expansion northwards difficult. The water was habitually polluted from sewage draining downhill from the Old Town. In 1846 the railway was built in the valley to connect the Edinburgh-Glasgow line at Haymarket with the new northern terminus of the North British line from Berwick-upon-Tweed at Waverley Station.
The gardens run along the south side of Princes Street and are divided by The Mound. East Princes Street Gardens run from The Mound to Waverley Bridge, and cover 8.5 acres (34,000 m2). The larger West Princes Street Gardens cover 29 acres (120,000 m2) and extend to the adjacent churches of St. John's and St. Cuthbert's, near Lothian Road in the west.
The Gardens are the best known park in Edinburgh, having the highest awareness and visitor figures for both residents and visitors to the city. Various concerts and other events are held at the Ross Bandstand including the Festival Fireworks Concert, Men's Health Survival of the Fittest, and during the city's Hogmanay celebrations.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4GT5 - Flamenco, in its strictest sense, is a professionalized art-form based on the various folkloric music traditions of Southern Spain in the autonomous communities of Andalusia, Extremadura and Murcia. In a wider sense, it refers to these musical traditions and more modern musical styles which have themselves been deeply influenced by and become blurred with the development of flamenco over the past two centuries. It includes cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), baile (dance), jaleo (vocalizations), palmas (handclapping) and pitos (finger snapping).
The oldest record of flamenco dates to 1774 in the book Las Cartas Marruecas by José Cadalso. Flamenco has been influenced by and associated with the Romani people in Spain
however, its origin and style are uniquely Andalusian.
Although the Diccionario de la lengua española associates it especially with the Gypsy ethnicity, is more than perceptible the fusion of the different cultures that coincided in the Andalusia of the time. Of all the hypotheses about its origin, the most widespread thesis is that which exposes the Morisco origin, only that the cultural miscegenation that occurred then in Andalusia: Natives, Muslims, Gypsies, Castilians and Jews
propitiated its creation. In fact, it already existed in the region of Andalusia its germ long before the Gypsies arrived, also taking into account that there were gypsies in other regions of Spain and Europe, flamenco was only cultivated by those who were in Andalusia.
Flamenco has become popular all over the world and is taught in many non-Hispanic countries, especially the United States and Japan. In Japan, there are more flamenco academies than there are in Spain. On November 16, 2010, UNESCO declared flamenco one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Many species are cultivated as ornamental plants, and many cultivars have been bred. Some taxa occur as introduced species where they are not native, and some are weeds. Plants of the genus are known commonly as water lilies or waterlilies in the United Kingdom. The genus name is from the Greek νυμφαια, nymphaia and the Latin nymphaea, which mean water lily and were inspired by the nymphs of Greek and Latin mythology.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD4GYY - The abbey was founded in 1246 by Richard, Earl of Cornwall, called King of the Romans and the younger brother of King Henry III of England. Richard founded the abbey to thank God after he had survived a shipwreck. Richard had been granted the manor of Hailes by King Henry, and settled it with Cistercian monks from Beaulieu Abbey in Hampshire. The great Cistercian abbey was entirely built in a single campaign in 1277, and was consecrated in a royal ceremony that included the King and Queen and 15 bishops.
Hailes Abbey became a site of pilgrimage after Richard's son Edmund donated to the Cistercian community a phial of the Holy Blood, purchased in Germany, in 1270. Such a relic of the Crucifixion was a considerable magnet for pilgrimage. From the proceeds, the monks of Hailes were able to rebuild the Abbey on a magnificent scale. One Abbot of Hailes was executed as a rebel after the Battle of Bramham Moor, in 1408.
Though King Henry VIII's commissioners declared the famous relic to be nothing but the blood of a duck, regularly renewed, and though the Abbot Stephen Sagar admitted that the Holy Blood was a fake in hope of saving the Abbey, Hailes Abbey was one of the last religious institutions to acquiesce following the Dissolution Act of 1536. The Abbot and his monks finally surrendered their abbey to Henry's commissioners on Christmas Eve 1539.
After the Dissolution, the west range consisting of the Abbot's own apartments was converted into a house and was home to the Tracy family in the seventeenth century, but these buildings were later demolished and now all that remains are a few low arches in a meadow with outlines in the grass. Surviving remains include the small church for the disappeared parish, with unrestored medieval wall-paintings

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DD57E0 - St Peter's Church in Winchcombe is one of the great wool churches in the Cotswolds, an area blessed with similar reminders of the wealth of local medieval wool merchants.
The exterior is dominated by a striking west tower, 90 feet high, with 8 pinnacles. Atop the tower is a gilded weathercock, brought here in 1874 from the historic church of St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol. But it is not the weathercock that most people come to Winchcombe to see, but the grotesque carvings that embellish the battlemented roofline of the exterior. (Often called gargoyles, they are technically grotesques, for they do not have water spouts passing through them as a true gargoyle does).
There are 40 of these carvings
about 20 depict demonic creatures, and the remainder appear to be caricatures of locally important people, both civic figures and Abbey officials. To the left (west) of the south porch is a grinning figure of Sir Ralph Boteler of Sudeley, who gave money to complete the church. More famous, and beloved of postcard photographers, is a figure to the east of the porch, a grimacing human figure with a squat hat. This figure is said to be the model for the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland story.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Altar frontal made of 14th century vestments, stitched by Catherine of Aragon
Saxon coffins of King Kenwulph and his son, St Kenelm
Amusing gargoyles including the possible model for the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland
The first written record of a church dedicated to St Peter in Winchcombe comes from 1175, when a church associated with the Benedictine Abbey here is mentioned. It seems very likely that there was a much earlier Saxon church, dedicated to St Nicholas.
That Norman church gradually fell into disrepair, and in 1458 Abbot William began building a new church. The lord of Sudeley Castle, Lord Ralph Boteler, granted money to help finish the construction, and the new church was completed in just 10 years.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYFFR - The Church of St Andrew in Brympton, Somerset, England, dates from the 13th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
It is closely associated with the manor house of Brympton d'Evercy. The d'Evercy family were responsible for building the church. Thomas d'Evercy purchased the estate in 1220. Sir Peter founded a chantry at Brympton d'Evercy in 1306, endowing a priest with a messuage and 40 acres (16 ha) in the parish. New aisles were added in 1469.
It has been suggested that this is the building today known as the priest house, but no structural evidence exists to support this claim. The church contains monuments to Sir John Sydenham (died 1626) and his family who were lords of the manor.
Some of the effigies within the church were originally in the churchyard but were moved into the church in the 19th century and restored by John Edward Carew.
The parish is within the benefice of Odcombe with Brympton, Lufton and Montacute, which is within the deanery of Yeovil

Two monuments to Australian winger and world record try scorer Brian Bevan, who played for Warrington 1945-62 (scoring 740 tries for the Wire), are featured at the stadium. One, a statue of him, had previously been placed in the middle of a roundabout (known as Brian Bevan island) close to Wolves' old Wilderspool ground. This was moved to the Halliwell Jones Stadium with the team. The other, a mural showing Bevan's face made from 'Primrose and Blue' bricks, the traditional Warrington colours was created specifically for the location.
Two other tributes to ex-players at the ground are the naming of the South-East quadrant the Jack Fish corner, and the road the stadium is on Mike Gregory Way.

'Gent' who made the town a wee bit famous...
Bygone Burnley, with JACK NADIN
DUCKETT Street, above the former Holy Trinity Church on Accrington Road,
takes its name from James Duckett, of Duckett's Pipe Works, and is a firm
that will still be remembered by many folk in the area. Here, traditionally kiln fired and salt glazed pipes, urinals and drains were manufactured well into the late 1960s, and early 1970s. The firm occupied both sides of Blannel Street, the site of which is now used by small industrial units. On the other side of Accrington Road was the huge quarry used in connection with the pipe works -- also a kids' playground at weekends known locally as Duckett's Delph. The demise of the Duckett's Works was probably brought about by the introduction of plastic for drains and pipes -- much cheaper than fired clay. So who was James Duckett
of Duckett's Pipe Works? Well, James Duckett, the founder of this firm, was born in December, 1825, the son of John and Jenny, his father was employed as a cotton spinner. At the age of nine or 10, he entered into employment at the cotton mill, as many youngsters did at this time, following his father. However, millwork was not suited to young James, he preferred the more open, outdoor work. After a while he was apprenticed to the job of working as a mason, with his brother, who at that time was erecting the building to be known as Barrowford Church. This would be around 1840, when James was just 15 years old. James found this occupation much better suited to his temperament, and a few years later, while still in his teens, he was made a partner in the business. The first large contract the firm was entrusted to was the erection of St Mary's Roman Catholic Church at Burnley, which was opened for divine service on August 2, 1849. Kelbrook Church, near Earby, was also built by James Duckett,.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDJNK3 - Brympton d'Evercy (also known as Brympton House) is a manor house near Yeovil in the county of Somerset, England. It has been called the most beautiful house in England, a country noted for fine country houses. In 1927 the British magazine Country Life published a set of three articles on the house, in which Christopher Hussey, near the start of his 50-year career as an architectural authority and documenter of British country houses, described Brympton d'Evercy as the most incomparable house in Britain, the one which created the greatest impression and summarises so exquisitely English country life qualities. His articles remain the only detailed account of the house, which in its long history has belonged to six families: the D'Evercys, the Stourtons, the Sydenhams, the Fanes, the Weeks (1992“2008), and the Glossop family in 2008. Building was begun by the D'Evercy family about 1220 and proceeded slowly into the 18th century. For 750 years it remained little known or recorded. For a few years after the Second World War it held a boys' school, before being reclaimed by its owners as a private house. This it remains, although it is occasionally hired out as a location for filming or a hospitality event.
Brympton d'Evercy from the south around 1722 by Jan Kip and Leonard Knyff.
The house is part of a complex consisting of the mansion, its stables and other outbuildings, the parish church and a puzzling building known as the Priest House. Little remains of the original D'Evercy manor built between 1220 and 1325, as the present house has evolved on the same site.
Brympton d'Evercy was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Brunetone, meaning brown enclosure, from the Old English brun and tun.
The village of Brympton is larger today than at any time in its history. Until the 20th century, it barely qualified as a village, having been deserted in the 14th century. It consisted only of a few cottages scattered along the long drive to the secluded mansion.

The image documents Denise Scott Regrets, Edinburgh Festival Fringe Act, Scotland, UK, EH1 1QS. The setting additionally reflects town-centre trading, visual archive, regional identity, specialist shop, commercial frontage, customer footfall, period detail, historical comparison, local enterprise, bricks-and-mortar retail, public realm, everyday life, changing land use, and place identity. The wider contemporary story combines town-centre regeneration, online shopping and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets. Small period details of landscape treatment and surrounding development at High street, Edinburgh Old Town, Lothian, Scotland UK EH1 1QS may become more significant with time, particularly following conservation work. The wider setting retains connections with street-level business, before-and-after reference, independent retail, retail property, documentary photography, shopfront economy, high-street commerce, and small business. The combination of Edinburgh, Festival, Fringe, Denise, and Scott anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. Around High street, Edinburgh Old Town, Lothian, Scotland UK EH1 1QS, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear.

The photograph additionally reflects public realm, social history, club history, changing streetscape, sports branding, documentary photography, everyday life, and supporter culture. The combination of Accessorized, Scooter, mirrors, Widnes, and lights anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. Here, the recorded location provides the local evidence behind the wider historical theme. The image also provides a reference for community identity and the archival value of club lettering and branding as grounds evolve within the real-world context of the recorded location. Another useful connection is sports tourism and how stadiums become landmarks closely tied to local identity within the specific setting of the recorded location. The scene further reflects stadium redevelopment and the archival value of club lettering and branding as grounds evolve as part of the longer story of the recorded location. Image D8HW44 also preserves another period-specific detail for later comparison.

Eight, A number is divisible by 8 if its last 3 digits are also divisible by 8.
Eight is the first number to be the aliquot sum of two numbers other than itself
the discrete biprime 10, and the square number 49.

Fifteen is a triangular number, a hexagonal number, a pentatope number and the 4th Bell number.
Fifteen is the double factorial of 5. It is a composite number
its proper divisors being 1, 3 and 5.
With only two exceptions, all prime quadruplets enclose a multiple of 15, with 15 itself being enclosed by the quadruplet (11, 13, 17, 19). 15 is also the number of supersingular primes.
In the Hebrew numbering system, the number 15 is not written according to the usual method, with the letters that represent '10' and '5' (\u05d9-\u05d4, yodh and heh), because those spell out one of the Jewish names of God. Instead, the date is written with the letters representing '9' and '6' (\u05d8-\u05d5, teth and vav).
In tennis, the number 15 represents the first point gained in a game.
Age 15 is the age of a quincea\u00f1era, a Hispanic girl celebrating her fifteenth birthday. Thus, Spanish bingo callers might refer to the number 15 as la ni\u00f1a bonita (the beautiful girl). In the UK it is the legal age to watch a BBFC '15' rated film in a cinema or purchase a '15' rated film or video game.

The word 'twelve' is the largest number with a single-morpheme name in English. Etymology suggests that 'twelve' (similar to 'eleven') arises from the Germanic compound twalif 'two-leftover', so a literal translation would yield 'two remaining [after having ten taken]'. This compound meaning may have been transparent to speakers of Old English, but the modern form 'twelve' is quite opaque. Only the remaining tw- hints that twelve and two are related.
A group of twelve things is called a duodecad. The ordinal adjective is duodenary, twelfth. The adjective referring to a group consisting of twelve things is duodecuple.
The number twelve is often used as a sales unit in trade, and is often referred to as a dozen. Twelve dozen are known as a gross. (Note that there are thirteen items in a baker's dozen.). the expression 'baker's dozen' dates to the 13th century in one of the earliest English statutes, instituted during the reign of Henry III (1216\u20131272), called the Assize of Bread and Ale. Bakers who were found to have shortchanged customers (some variations say that they would sell hollow bread) could be subject to severe punishment. To guard against the punishment of losing a hand to an axe, a baker would give 13 for the price of 12, to be certain of not being known as a cheat. Specifically, the practice of baking 13 items for an intended dozen was insurance against 'short measure', on the basis that one of the 13 could be lost, eaten, burnt, or ruined in some way, leaving the baker with the original legal dozen. The practice can be seen in the guild codes of the Worshipful Company of Bakers in London.
Force 12 on the Beaufort wind force scale corresponds to the maximum wind speed of a hurricane. The duodenum (from Latin duodecim, 'twelve') is the first part of the small intestine, that is about twelve inches (30 cm) long. More precisely, this section of the intestine was measured not in inches but in fingerwidths. In fact, in German the name of the duodenum is Zw\u00f6lffingerdarm and in Dutch the name is twaalfvingerige darm, both meaning 'twelve-finger bowel'.
The importance of 12 in Judaism and Christianity can be found in the Bible. The biblical Jacob had 12 sons, who were the progenitors of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, while the New Testament describes twelve apostles of Jesus
when Judas Iscariot was disgraced, a meeting was held (Acts) to add Matthias to complete the number twelve once more. (Today, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.). In Orthodox Judaism, 12 also signifies the age a girl matures (bat mitzvah)
In Twelver Shi'a Islam, there are twelve Imams, legitimate successors of the prophet Muhammad. These twelve early leaders of Islam are\u2014Ali, Hasan, Husayn, and nine of Husayn's descendants. The Chinese use a 12 year cycle for time-reckoning called Earthly Branches.
The band 'The Number 12 Looks Like You' tried to start 'Mathcore' and as you might have guesed - failed!

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
As fresh today as it was nearly 30 years ago. Witty, ironic and close to danceable (surely theres a 12' cut of this???). This single, 'I Love a Man in a Uniform', was banned by the BBC during the Falklands War in 1982. Not alone, 'Six Months in a Leaky Boat' by the New Zealand pop group Split Enz to be a criticism of the war, and the song was also banned by the BBC. The Fixx single Stand or Fall was given little radio play due to its anti-war lyrics,which coincided with the Falklands conflict.
One of the best things to come out of Leeds since the First Trans-Pennine express out to Manchester &
Liverpool, Gang Of Four were most active between 1977 &
1984.
singer Jon King and guitarist Andy Gill were heavily influenced by a university-funded trip to New York, where they saw Television and the Ramones at CBGB's. Apparently, music writer Greil Marcus found his first viewing of the group's performance so shattering that he left after their set, rather than risk having the impact of the deeply political Gang of Four's songs dampened by the pop-punk of Buzzcocks.
I still have the Fast Product first release, 'Damaged Goods' B/W '(Love Like) Anthrax' and 'Armalite Rifle', from June 1978. This led to two Peel radio sessions, which, with their incendiary live performances, propelled the band to international attention and sold-out shows across Europe and North America. They were then signed by EMI records.
GO4 influenced many bands through the years including REM, . Kurt Cobain stated that Nirvana started as 'a Gang of Four ripoff'.
To hear more, track down 'A Brief History of the Twentieth Century' a great compilation. Tell 'em I sent you.

The adoption and continuing use of red by most English soldiers after the Restoration (1660) was the result of circumstances rather than policy, including the relative cheapness of red dyes. Red was by no means universal at first, with grey and blue coats also being worn.
There is no known basis for the myth that red coats were favoured because they did not show blood stains. Blood does in fact show on red clothing as a black stain.
Even after the adoption of khaki service dress in 1902, most British infantry and some cavalry regiments continued to wear scarlet tunics on parade and for off-duty 'walking out dress', until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.

One of my favourite guitarists and cool too. Once when asked by an activist in 1970 'What would you change in America today'? He replied 'They should wear more colourful gear'. He also said 'Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music'. Indeed!
Born in Seattle James Marshall 'Jimi' Hendrix worked as a jobbing guitarist until being introduced to London in 1966/7. Hendrix learned to play by practicing almost constantly, watching others play, getting tips from more experienced players, and listening to records. In mid-1959, his father bought Hendrix a white 'Supro Ozark'.
Chas Chandler who was ending his tenure as bassist in The Animals and looking for talent to manage and produce. Chandler liked the song 'Hey Joe' and was convinced he could create a hit single with the right artist. It was Hendrix who he brought to London for that very reason. The Jimi Hendrix Experience was born.
'All Along the Watchtower' was an original Bob Dylan track and was included on the classic double 'Electric Ladyland' album. Several reviewers have pointed out that the lyrics in 'All Along the Watchtower' echo lines in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 21, verses 5-9. The single reached number five in the British charts.
Dylan has described his reaction to hearing Hendrix's version: 'It overwhelmed me, really. He had such talent, he could find things inside a song and vigorously develop them. He found things that other people wouldn't think of finding in there. He probably improved upon it by the spaces he was using. I took license with the song from his version, actually, and continue to do it to this day.' In the booklet accompanying his Biograph album, Dylan said: 'I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way... Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way.'

The Lewis War Memorial is a war memorial dedicated to the men who lost their lives in World War I from the Lewis area (Outer Hebrides, Scotland). Completed in 1924, it is situated at the highest point of the town of Stornoway, and is visible for miles around.
It can no longer be climbed. Iron plaques containing the names of the fallen, many hundred (1151) are now presented on a faux stone circle at its foot.
From January to July 1920, the pages of the Stornoway Gazette carried advertisements appealing for subscriptions towards the building costs of a suitable memorial that would cost at least \u00a310,000 and more probably \u00a320,000. The response was overwhelming. As a spur to generous donations, it was announced that an anonymous resident was willing to double the amount subscribed to \u00a35,000 - this resident was later discovered to be Lord Leverhulme himself.
For more historical details, consult the excellent Stornoway Historical Society website. Better still consider a trip right up there to the top left edge of Britain, its cool.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Wales has been under represented in my iPod artists so far, so hopefully I can start to put that right here. 'The Bartender and the Thief' is a 1998 single by British rock band the Stereophonics. It was the first single taken from their second album Performance and Cocktails. It was released in November 1998 and reached no 3 in the UK charts.
The song, which is one of their heavier tracks, is frequently played amongst their live sets. During live performances, vocalist Kelly Jones has been known to utilise the two bars without vocals before the final chorus to reference the Motorhead song 'Ace of Spades'. The lyrics therefore are 'The ace of spades, the ace of spades. The bartender and the thief were lovers...'
Strangely, the song's full length intro only featured on the CD1 single (and in the music video), but was edited off the Performance &
Cocktails album.

The Saracens Head was the 'brewery tap' pub next to the old Warrington Greenall's Brewery. The concern was founded by Thomas Greenall in 1762. Initially based in St Helens, the Company relocated to Warrington in 1787.
It ceased brewing in 1991 to concentrate on running pubs and hotels. Greenall's owned beer brands were brewed by Allied Breweries at their Leeds and Burton plant. Greenall's ale can still be bought in some pubs in the North West of England, although it is thankfully slowly disappearing and often only the 'Greenall's Mild' brand can be found.
For a short while I lived fairly close to the pub and enjoyed many a good guest pint in there. I was told it was a good place to pick up the odd piece of hot property, but no-one offered me anything while I was drinking there. It has rrecently been given a lick of paint and has become a JW Lees pub. When they are serving food, apparently the hand cut chips are worth a look.

For contacts outside the UK, the Shipping Forecast is a four-times-daily BBC Radio broadcast of weather reports and forecasts for the seas around the coasts of the British Isles. It is produced by the Met Office.
Many people find the well-known repetition of the names of the sea areas almost hypnotic, particularly during the bedtime (for Britain) broadcast at 00:48 UK time. It is regarded with affection by many listeners, and in the United Kingdom often pops up in pub quizzes.
The zones start near the isle of Mull in Scotland and progress clockwise around Shetland, Tyne, Dover, Portland and through Shannon and the Irish sea. The General Synopsis is read, giving the position, pressure (in millibars) and track of pressure areas (e.g. Low, Viking, 981, deepening rapidly, expected North Utsire 964 by 0700 tomorrow).
BBC Radio 4 is the choice for the Shipping Forecast as it is a speech-based channel and broadcasts via longwave on 198 kHz as well as FM, and the longwave signal can be received clearly at sea all around the British Isles regardless of time of day or radio conditions. DAB radio is unlikely to cut the mustard for this one.
The Shipping Forecast is intended to be read at dictation speed to aid those who wish to write down the information. After all for many mariners, your life and that of your crew may well depend on it.
many musicians have name checked it. Notably one of my faves, (Yorkshire Anachists) Chumbawamba on the 'The Good Ship Lifestyle', on the album Tubthumper. It starts out with a listing of the sea areas in the wrong order. How anarchist(!). Beck includes a 27-second sample five minutes into the track 'The Horrible Fanfare, Landslide, Exoskeleton' on the album The Information too. Jethro Tull pn the album Stormwatch also predictably samples it.
All but two of the characters in the UK ITV cartoon 'The Adventures of Portland Bill' were named after the shipping areas or coastal weather stations. If you do the odd pub quiz, leave me a comment and I will let you know by Flickr mail if you are correct!

This cow had been soaked by it all day by the looks of it and had been scratching itself on some barbed wire next to his field.
Highland breeds do thrive on poor mountain land with high annual rainfall and bitter winds however. Gaelic names are encouraged for the naming of cows. Some female names include A Bhuidhe Aillidh (a Yellow Beauty), Fraoch (Heather) and Sonasag (Little Happy Female). Male names include Aonghas (Angus), Companach (Companion), Cuairtear (Tourist) and Gruaghach (long haired one).

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
'The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society' is the brilliant sixth studio album by the English rock group The Kinks, released in November 1968. It was the last album by the original quartet, as bassist Pete Quaife left the group in early 1969. A collection of thematic vignettes of English town and hamlet life, The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society was assembled from songs written and recorded over the previous two years. Allmusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine described Village Green as a 'concept album lamenting the passing of old-fashioned English traditions.'
The record is widely considered one of the most influential and important works by The Kinks, and of the period as a whole. Although it failed to chart upon release, with estimated worldwide sales at 100,000 copies, The Village Green Preservation Society has become one of the band's best selling and most popular records. In 2003, the album was ranked number 255 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
This in my opinion is one of the all time classic English villages. Its got a village green, a village cross etc. If you know or can guess where this place is, please comment and let me know. If you can guess correctly within the first 30 comments left I will send you a small prize. Come on, bring it on!

Its been a landmark in town for many decades and it was one of the first city centre places I ate in. The first chinese I ate in was the Tak Fook in Reddish (Hyde Rd end). A cracker of an understated place, which did a unique 9 course banquette. I must get back to it one day!
The establishment is one of the original Chinese restaurants around which modern Chinatown in Manchester has grown. It began life almost thirty years ago as the plain 'Hong Kong' restaurant, establishing the link with Hong Kong by being one of the first Chinese restaurants in Manchester city centre to serve authentic Cantonese cuisine. Since then the restaurant has been extensively modified and upgraded and so re-named The New Hong Kong.
Manchester's first Chinese restaurant, Ping Hong, opened in the area in 1948, on the eve of a Chinese immigration wave that would commence during the 1950s. Manchester, being neither a port city nor a capital city, such as Liverpool and London, respectively, did not have a significant Chinese population, reaching only about 2000.
However, after World War II, there were severe labour shortages, and in response, the government passed the British Nationality Act 1948, which allowed easier access into the country. Additionally, Hong Kong's rapid urbanisation meant that many farmers and traditional residents' homes were being destroyed by the urban sprawl, so many decided to migrate.
The area's beginnings are rooted in the restaurant business, as many Chinese restaurants surfaced soon after the immigration boom. By the 1970s other Chinese businesses began to emerge, such as medicine shops, Chinese supermarkets, as well as financial and legal services, all serving the employees of the expanding number of Chinese restaurants in the area. There was even a Hong Kong government office and a branch of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation during the 1970s

Primal Scream are the definitive Scottish alternative rock group. They formed in 1982 in Glasgow by Bobby Gillespie (vocals) and Jim Beattie. The current lineup consists of Gillespie, Andrew Innes (guitar), Martin Duffy (keyboards), Gary 'Mani' Mounfield (bass), and Darrin Mooney (drums). Barrie Cadogan toured with the band in 2006 as a temporary replacement after the departure of guitarist Robert 'Throb' Young. Young's permanent replacement has not yet been announced.
The band performed throughout 1982-1984, but their career didn't especially take off until Gillespie left his position as drummer of The Jesus and Mary Chain. The band were a key part of the mid-1980s indie pop scene, but eventually moved away from their more jangly sound, taking on more psychedelic and then garage rock influences, before incorporating a dance music element to their sound. Their 1991 album Screamadelica broke the band into the mainstream.
On July 21, 2008, Primal Scream released a new album called Beautiful Future described by new producer Bjorn Yttling as sounding 'much more pop and Krautrock than before.
Critics suggested it sounds a bit like Alan Vega and Suicide. In July 2008, the first single from the album, entitled 'Can't Go Back', was released. The track was produced by Paul Epworth who also produced the album's title track. The tour followed and hence these shots.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJ795J - Author Anthony Burgess mural art work, Northern Quarter, Brightwell walk, Manchester M4 5JD gives a direct editorial record of a recognisable subject, with location, signage, architecture or everyday behaviour carrying much of the meaning. Manchester's Northern Quarter uses murals, graffiti, shutters and old warehouse streets as part of its creative identity, turning former industrial fabric into a backdrop for bars, studios and independent shops. Street art here can illustrate regeneration, gentrification, local authorship, cultural tourism, public art, music heritage and the way cities use rough edges as part of their brand. The location detail, Manchester, M4 5JD, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. For buyers, the strength lies in the combination of a named subject, a lived-in setting and enough visual specificity to carry stories about how places are used, remembered, funded, visited or contested.
