Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F24M12 - Exposed River Medlock flows beneath Charles Street and towards a substantial brick railway viaduct in Manchester city centre. The narrow watercourse passes between retaining walls, green metal railings, riverside vegetation and surviving red-brick industrial buildings. Strong summer sunlight reaches the shallow river channel while the arch frames a layered view of old warehouses, former workshops and later city-centre development.
This section of the Medlock runs beside the historic Lass O'Gowrie public house and lies between Manchester Oxford Road and Piccadilly railway stations. The railway viaduct forms part of the dense transport infrastructure crossing the southern side of the city centre. Charles Street passes over the river immediately beside the pub, while the Medlock continues west through an area historically associated with Little Ireland and Manchester's rapid nineteenth-century industrial growth.
Manchester became internationally known as Cottonopolis because of the scale of its cotton spinning, textile manufacturing, warehousing and trading economy. River valleys such as the Medlock attracted mills, dye works, print works, factories and workshops requiring water for industrial processes. Heavy use and uncontrolled discharge severely polluted the river, while later development placed substantial sections beneath culverts, roads and buildings. Only intermittent stretches remain openly visible through central Manchester.
The precise buildings framed beyond the arch should not automatically be identified as cotton mills without building-specific evidence, but their red-brick construction and utilitarian form reflect the wider manufacturing and warehouse landscape created during Manchester's industrial expansion. The view therefore captures a surviving fragment of Cottonopolis rather than an untouched historic mill complex.
Vegetation reclaiming the riverbanks contrasts with masonry arches, retaining walls and dense urban construction. The photograph re

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F24M17 - Historic Lass O'Gowrie public house stands beside the exposed River Medlock on Charles Street in Manchester city centre. Colourful hanging baskets and flower planters brighten the pub's timber riverside decking, while red-brick buildings, green metal railings and a railway viaduct enclose the narrow urban waterway. Strong summer sunlight and a clear blue sky reveal an unusual view of Manchester in which Victorian hospitality architecture, railway infrastructure and a surviving fragment of the city's partly hidden river system occupy the same compact scene.
The Grade II listed Lass O'Gowrie is a mid-nineteenth-century public house altered around 1900. Its principal elevations are constructed in red brick and richly decorated with deep red, orange and green glazed terracotta. Historic tiled lettering advertises wines, spirits, bottled ales and stout, reflecting its former association with Threlfall's Brewery and the visual language once used by Manchester's brewery-owned public houses. The pub occupies an island-like site beside the bridge carrying Charles Street across the Medlock and close to the railway viaduct serving the Oxford Road corridor.
The surrounding district formed part of nineteenth-century industrial Manchester and was close to the overcrowded neighbourhood historically known as Little Ireland. Much of the older housing and industry disappeared through redevelopment, road construction and clearance, leaving the pub as a conspicuous survivor of an earlier cityscape. The River Medlock, heavily altered and culverted through central Manchester, remains visible here as it passes tightly between retaining walls and buildings.
Decking constructed above part of the river channel created an outdoor drinking and smoking terrace, making distinctive use of a constrained city-centre location. The pub has also been associated with students, university staff, media workers, live entertainment and Manchester's real-ale culture. This view combines architectural heri

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJD0F2 - This close-up editorial image shows the pub sign for The Mark Addy, the former riverside public house and restaurant beside the River Irwell on Stanley Street in Salford. The sign stands against a clear blue sky, with modern glass buildings and older red-brick industrial architecture behind it, placing the image in the changing cityscape between Salford and Manchester. The picture is useful for illustrating lost pubs, closed hospitality venues, riverside regeneration, urban change, beer branding, Heineken signage and the relationship between new development and older local landmarks.
The Mark Addy was named after Mark Addy, a Victorian Salford oarsman and publican remembered for rescuing more than 50 people from the dangerous and heavily polluted River Irwell. Its position beside the water made the name unusually apt, turning a river rescue story into a well-known pub identity. The venue opened in the early 1980s and became a distinctive Salford drinking and dining spot, partly because of its sunken waterside setting, terrace views and proximity to Manchester city stock-photo/gotonysmith-Centre.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>centre.
The pub later gained a strong food reputation when chef Robert Owen Brown became associated with it, helping it become one of the better-known modern British and northern food destinations in the city region. Reports and listings describe the site as closed, with CAMRA noting long-term closure from December 2015 and local coverage linking the decline to flooding, repair costs and the practical difficulty of maintaining a low-lying venue by the Irwell. As a result, the image can support stories about climate risk, flood damage, hospitality economics, independent restaurants, forgotten Salford institutions and memories of pre-regeneration nightlife.
For stock use, the readable sign gives immediate subject recognition, while the background contrast adds wider themes of gentrification, river corridors, city centre expansion, heritage loss, public memory and Salford's evolving identity

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EF6C1T - Dusk exterior view of Peveril of the Peak, the distinctive green stock-photo/gotonysmith-Tiled.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>tiled Manchester pub on Great Bridgewater Street, photographed with warm interior lights glowing through the windows and a deep blue evening sky above the city centre. Known locally as The Pev, the pub stands as a small, detached triangular survivor amid much taller offices, apartments and modern development, giving the scene a strong contrast between old Manchester drinking culture and the newer built environment around it. The glazed green and yellow ceramic tiled frontage, painted name band, decorative doorway and hanging pub sign make it one of the most instantly recognisable traditional boozers in Manchester. Central Manchester CAMRA lists Peveril of the Peak at 127 Great Bridgewater Street, Manchester, M1 5JQ, and describes its real ale, real fire, separate bars and historic character. CAMRA's heritage pub listing says the green tiled exterior hides an interior with polished wood, stained glass and traditional bench seating, with original bell pushes still present in parts of the pub. Historic England lists the building as Grade II, with the statutory address of 127 Chepstow Street, reflecting its corner position between Chepstow Street and Great Bridgewater Street. The image has strong editorial and commercial value for stories about Manchester pubs, CAMRA, cask ale, real ale, pub preservation, listed buildings, hospitality, nightlife, local identity, urban heritage and the survival of proper city centre pubs. The calm dusk setting, glowing windows and empty street frontage give the photograph a slightly nostalgic mood, suggesting an evening pint before the pub fills up. This is a useful stock image for features on British pub culture, northern social history, traditional pub architecture, Manchester tourism, conservation, changing city centres, independent hospitality and the continuing appeal of classic real ale houses.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E8E1EN - Close-up view of a Warrington Central railway station nameboard on a platform beneath the station canopy, showing blue and white National Rail style signage against brickwork, metal roof structure and historic railway architecture. Warrington Central is one of the main railway stations serving Warrington in Cheshire, located on Winwick Street near the northern edge of the town centre. National Rail identifies the station code as WAC, gives the address as Winwick Street, Warrington, Cheshire WA2 7TT, and lists the station as managed by Northern. The station is used by passengers travelling on the Liverpool to Manchester corridor and forms an important local public transport link for commuters, students, shoppers, visitors and regional rail users across North West England. The photograph is useful for editorial coverage of Warrington transport, Northern rail services, railway commuting, public transport infrastructure, town centre connectivity, National Rail signage, platform environments and regional rail travel. It can also support features on railway heritage, as Warrington Central opened in the 1870s on the Cheshire Lines Committee route, with the Central suffix added shortly afterwards. The station's surviving brickwork, platform canopy and traditional urban railway setting help connect current train travel with Victorian-era railway expansion and the historic competition between routes serving Manchester, Liverpool, Cheshire and Lancashire. The image has practical stock value for local news, travel guides, transport reporting, rail disruption stories, station accessibility, timetable changes, sustainable travel, public investment, commuter behaviour and comparisons with Warrington Bank Quay. It also works as a clean generic but identifiable image for articles about rail services in Warrington, Northern-managed stations, station facilities, ticket offices, step-free access, regional mobility and the everyday experience of using Britain's railway network.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RG8YA4 - A rather artificial attempt at the recreation of a lively coffee house scene was made by the temperance movement in the 1880's. Modelled after the spacious, light, mahogany-trimmed taverns being promoted by the beer industry, the late Victorian coffee house was a conscious attempt by naive social workers to lure the working men from their pubs and the perils of demon drink. Coffee taverns, one pamphlet stated, must show there are beverages as comforting as beer, that there are beverages to be bought as cheap as beer. And they must provide advantages not provided by such a formidable enemy and by this manoeuvre make victory certain. Accordingly, working-men were encouraged to bring their own food to be cooked free of charge in the tavern's kitchen. Newspapers and games were laid out - also gratis - and customers were encouraged to remain as long as they wanted. Needless to say, none of these coffee taverns survived long on their own.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T0DAEC - Rochdale Town Hall is a Victorian-era municipal building in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. It is widely recognised as being one of the finest municipal buildings in the country, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
The Town Hall functions as the ceremonial headquarters of Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council and houses local government departments, including the borough's civil registration office.
Built in the Gothic Revival style at a cost of £160,000 (£15.9 million in 2023), it was inaugurated for the governance of the Municipal Borough of Rochdale on 27 September 1871.
The architect, William Henry Crossland, was the winner of a competition held in 1864 to design a new Town Hall. It had a 240-foot (73 m) clock tower topped by a wooden spire with a gilded statue of Saint George and the Dragon, both of which were destroyed by fire on 10 April 1883, leaving the building without a spire for four years.
A new 190-foot (58 m) stone clock tower and spire in the style of Manchester Town Hall was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, and erected in 1887.
Architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner described the building as possessing a rare picturesque beauty. Its stained-glass windows are credited as the finest modern examples of their kind.
The building came to the attention of Adolf Hitler, who was said to have admired it so much that he wished to ship the building, brick-by-brick, to Nazi Germany had the United Kingdom been defeated in the Second World War
The Town Hall was one of several built in the textile towns of North West England following the Municipal Corporations Act 1835, but is one of only two in Greater Manchester built in the Gothic style. Between the setting of the foundation stone and the building's completion, revisions and additions were made to the original design. Money was lavished upon the decor and inventory, and the extra expenditure did not escape the ire of its critic

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M69C9X - Liquor (or a spirit) is an alcoholic drink produced by distillation of grains, fruits, vegetables, or sugar, that have already gone through alcoholic fermentation. Other terms for liquor include: spirit drink, distilled beverage, spirituous liquor or hard liquor. The distillation process concentrates the liquid to increase its alcohol by volume. As liquors contain significantly more alcohol (ethanol) than other alcoholic drinks, they are considered 'harder'
in North America, the term hard liquor is sometimes used to distinguish distilled alcoholic drinks from non-distilled ones, whereas the term spirits is more common in the UK. Some examples of liquors include vodka, rum, gin, and tequila. Liquors are often aged in barrels, such as for the production of brandy and whiskey, or are infused with flavorings to form a flavored liquor such as absinthe.
While the word liquor ordinarily refers to distilled alcoholic spirits rather than beverages produced by fermentation alone, it can sometimes be used more broadly to refer to any alcoholic beverage (or even non-alcoholic products of distillation or various other liquids).
Like other alcoholic drinks, liquor is typically consumed for the psychoactive effects of alcohol. Liquor may be consumed on its own ('neat'), typically in amounts of around 50 millilitres (1.7 US fluid ounces) per served drink. In an undiluted form, distilled beverages are often slightly sweet, and bitter, and typically impart a burning mouthfeel, with an odor derived from the alcohol and the production and aging processes
the exact flavor varies between different varieties of liquor and the different impurities they impart. Liquor is also frequently mixed with other ingredients to form a cocktail.
Rapid consumption of a large amount of liquor can cause severe alcohol intoxication or alcohol poisoning, which can be fatal. Consistent consumption of liquor over time correlates with higher mortality and other harmful health effects

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KG3PXY - Corn Exchange, Manchester is a grade II listed building in Manchester, England. The building was originally used as a corn exchange and was previously named the Corn & Produce Exchange, and subsequently The Triangle. Following the IRA bomb in 1996 it was renovated and was a modern shopping centre till 2014. The building was sold to investors and has been re-developed into a dining destination with food outlets
The first Corn Exchange built on this site in 1837 was designed by Richard Lane. This was demolished in 1897 and replaced in two sections between 1897 and 1903. Each section was designed by a different architect. Before 1837 it traded from Hanging Ditch. The Corn & Produce Exchange was the gathering spot for thousands of traders from all over the region. This continued until the economic depression of the 1920s and 1930s. Following the Second World War, trade gradually declined and the trading floor fell into disuse.
Until 1996 it was a gathering place for alternative communities and contained a large market with small stallholders selling clothes, jewellery and piercing paraphernalia, and second hand record shops
After being heavily damaged by the 1996 bomb many of these businesses were forced to move to new premises, mostly in the north of the city, where many foundered. The Corn Exchange was renovated and reopened as the Triangle Shopping Centre (because of its shape). Most of the Edwardian interior was replaced by high-class retail outlets including MUJI, a flagship Adidas store, O'Neill and Jigsaw, all of which have now closed.
In 2005, The Norwich Property Trust, the largest authorised commercial property unit trust in the UK, acquired the Triangle for £67m from American property company the Blackstone Group and its UK-based partners Milligan Retail Resorts International.
In 2012, The Triangle was relaunched as Corn Exchange, Manchester. Plans were revealed to convert the building into a food outlet and hotel. In 2014 work commenced by a demolition

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K23M7R - The Manchester Ship Canal Company was formed in 1882 with the aim of linking Manchester to the sea via a navigable canal and river route. The idea had been floating around since 1660, but it was the Manchester manufacturer Daniel Adamson who brought together the men who could actually make it happen in June of 1882. The bill that they proposed to Parliament was initially rejected, but was finally passed in May 1885, and was known as the Manchester Ship Canal Act 1885.
The ship canal took six years to complete at a cost of just over £15 million, equivalent to about £1.65 billion in 2011, and measures thirty-six miles in length, from the Mersey Estuary at Eastham on the Wirral to Manchester.
I've not been able to determine what year they were granted their coat of arms, but what's interesting about it is that bees are featured in two location, because it combines elements of the arms of Manchester, Salford and Warrington, as can be seen below.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JY56YG - Historic ceramic tile route map of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway is displayed on an entrance wall inside Manchester Victoria railway station in Manchester, England. The large wall-mounted map is formed from white glazed tiles with black lettering, red railway lines and dark coastal silhouettes, creating a striking piece of preserved railway cartography within one of the city's major rail termini.
The map records the extensive railway system once operated by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway across northern England. Visible destinations and route points include Liverpool, Manchester, Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, Bolton, Oldham, Huddersfield, Leeds, York, Goole, Hull and Sheffield, with coastal and resort connections including Southport, Blackpool, Fleetwood, Barrow, Scarborough and Bridlington. The design shows how the company connected industrial towns, ports, seaside resorts and cross-Pennine communities before the later reorganisation of Britain's railways.
Manchester Victoria was opened in the nineteenth century and became closely associated with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The surviving tiled map is an important piece of railwayana, combining practical route information, corporate identity and decorative public art. Historic England's listing for Victoria station specifically notes the surviving interior features, including mosaic decoration and a map of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway system in tilework.
The image illustrates both transport heritage and the civic pride once invested in railway architecture. Unlike modern digital departure boards and simplified network diagrams, the tiled map presents rail geography as a permanent architectural feature. Its survival inside a working station gives passengers and visitors a direct visual link with the era of regional railway companies, steam-age travel and the commercial growth of Manchester and the wider north of England.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JTR42K - Joseph Holt is an English brewer of beer, founded in 1849 and remaining in the same family for six generations. The company is based in Manchester and owns 127 pubs in Greater Manchester and the North West. Its beers are supplied to over 500 locations nationally.
Brewery
Joseph Holt have brewed on their site in the Cheetham area, to the north of Manchester city centre, since 1860.[2] Ale and lager malts are now delivered in bulk loads and stored in silos while speciality malts continue to be delivered in sacks. Between 15 and 500 barrels (4,500 150,000 pints) can be brewed per day, and a hopback is still in use, along with traditional whole leaf hops, to collect and clarify wort after boiling. All ales are top fermented in enclosed square fermenters using the historic Joseph Holt yeast strain, while lagers are fermented and conditioned in modern cylindroconical vessels. Joseph Holt have their own borehole on the brewery site to abstract brewing liquor (water) and are one of only a handful of brewers in the UK still to rack into 36 gallon casks, as well as hogsheads, the largest barrel size, carrying 432 pints (54 imperial gallons, 250 L) and weighing roughly 660 pounds (300 kg) when full.
History
Joseph Holt, the son of a weaver, was born in 1813 in Unsworth, a textile village near Bury. He worked as a carter at Harrison's Strangeways Brewery. In 1849 he married Catherine Parry, who helped finance a small brewery behind a pub on Oak Street, Manchester.
In 1860, he purchased the brewery site on Empire Street, Cheetham. His reputation in Manchester endures
in 2007, readers of the Manchester Evening News voted him People's Champion in the Greatest ever Business Leaders awards. In 1882, by which time he had established a chain of 20 public houses, Joseph passed control of the brewery to his son Edward. Edward Holt was later knighted, served as Lord Mayor of Manchester from 1907 to 1909 and was made a baronet in 1916.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2J880DK - WAREHOUSE, PICCADILLY, MANCHESTER - This building has been erected for Messrs Joshua Hoyle and Sons, Ltd, cotton spinners and manufacturers. Including the basement it is seven stories high. The portion of the groundfloor facing Piccadilly is for shops and a cafe. The warehouse entrance is at the corner, and the loading ways in the side street. The old building formerly on the site was of a height allowing the new lofty one to be erected without infringing any right of light. Internally there are three lifts. An installation of pneumatic letter and parcel tubes between the several departments is expected to save much labour. The heating and ventilation are in combination by means of washed air being driven by electric fans from an air chamber in the basement to the several floors and departments. The erection was at first attended with much difficulty, owing to a canal running across the site, the navigation of which was not interfered with. The main structure is of steel. This system enabled the architects to have the building erected at great speed. As soon as the stanchions and main beams of a floor were in position the Fram fireproof floor arching followed on, thus all waiting for the wall erections was avoided. The first stanchion in the basement was fixed in March, and in October the counters, lifts, electric wiring, etc., were being put in position. We refer to this, as in a building of this class speed, coupled with sound construction, is of great financial value to the proprietors. The exterior is in Burmantofts halfglaze green terra-cotta to the firstfloor level, and upwards in half-glaze buff terra-cotta and deep red bricks. The roof is covered with green slates and green terra-cotta ridge tiles. The architects are Messrs Charles Heathcote and Sons, of Manchester, and Savoycourt, London, and the builders are Messrs Robert Neill and Sons, Manchester. [11 November 1904 page 685]

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2J92PEP - Avanti West Coast is a train operating company in the United Kingdom owned by FirstGroup (70%) and Trenitalia (30%) that operates the West Coast Partnership.
During November 2016, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced the InterCity West Coast franchise would be replaced by the West Coast Partnership (WCP). In August 2019, the DfT awarded the WCP franchise to the First Trenitalia consortium. On 8 December 2019, Avanti West Coast took over operations from the prior operating company Virgin Trains, which had run the franchise since 1997. Originally, the franchise was initially scheduled to run until March 2030, and had also been set to operate the initial High Speed 2 services from 2026. However, during December 2020, it was announced that First Trenitalia and the DfT had agreed to terminate the WCP franchise at the earlier date of 31 March 2026 as part of the abolition of the franchise system. Since then a number of contract changes have taken place due to COVID-19 and then poor performance by the company. As of March 2023, the company's contract will expire in October 2023.
Between 14 August and 18 September 2022, Avanti West Coast reduced its timetable, citing unofficial strike action from its employees. However, this allegation was disputed by Aslef, which accused the company of lying and blamed their lack of recruitment, especially of train drivers, for the problems. Trains were running at one service per hour on the majority of routes, as opposed to the three which would typically occur on the London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly route. Following these changes, Avanti West Coast was subject to public criticism
news stories emerged of numerous train cancellations, overcrowded services, delays, and expensive fares. Many commuters faced difficulties reaching their destinations on the reduced services and some travellers have been left to wait for to two days before travel for tickets to be released for sale

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2J92PFR - Victory Over Blindness is a bronze sculpture in Manchester, England, by Johanna Domke-Guyot. It is on Piccadilly Approach outside the main entrance of Manchester Piccadilly station and was commissioned to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.
The sculpture depicts seven blind figures guiding each other and walking together
their likeness are based upon real veterans who all suffered blindness as a result of action on the frontline. Unusually a plinth is not used and the figures are situated at eye level to engage passers-by. It was commissioned by the Blind Veterans UK and was unveiled in October 2018. It is believed to be the only memorial to depict those wounded in the First World War.
The sculpture was first created to mark the centenary of the Blind Veterans UK charity in 2015 and which now sits at the charity's Llandudno rehabilitation and training centre. The sculpture depicts seven life-sized figures guiding one another. It was inspired by a photograph the sculptor saw of World War I veterans, blinded in combat, leading one another from the front. Whereas statues or sculptures of lifelike individuals are generally placed on plinths, it was decided the sculpture should be situated on the ground and at eye level to engage passers-by and to highlight the notion that the sacrifices of those on the frontline in World War I should not be forgotten.
The sculptor, Johanna Domke-Guyot, stated that People will be able to touch them, I want it to become a people's piece. The seven figures are all based upon World War I veterans who all suffered blindness as a result of action on the frontline and each figure depicts a similar likeness to the veterans.
The sculpture was well-received with it being described as moving for its subject matter and striking for its interaction with passers-by at eye level

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE02HX - Sam's was also opened by Thomas Studd, named for his son. Opening on Market Street in 1872, it moved to its current premises, on a backstreet just off Chapel Walks, in the mid-twentieth century. Publicity material from the 1960s reads: In a world of change, we at Sam's Chop House have preserved the best
the quality of food remains constant
the hospitality is just as warm as it was 100 years ago.' But times did change, and after being run as a pub for a while, Sam's closed down in the '90s. It reopened as a second incarnation of a Victorian chop house, with a lovingly recreated interior, in 2001.
Fun fact: Sam's artist-in-residence was Lowry
Head in at any hour and youíll see someone in a rumpled suit, waistcoat and trilby propping up the bar. With one difference: the figure has been dead for 43 years. It's artist LS Lowry, Samís most famous patron, immortalised in brass. A regular for many years, he often gave staff his drawings.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BCTGY9 - William Robinson purchased the Unicorn Inn from Samuel Hole on 29 September 1838. His eldest son George brewed the first Robinsons Ale there in 1849.
In 1859, Frederic Robinson took over from George and bought a warehouse to the rear of the inn to expand brewing capacity. As a result, Robinsons ale became available at pubs around the Stockport area. To control the quality of ale sold, Frederic began to purchase public houses. From 1878 until his death in 1890, Frederic established twelve pubs which exclusively served his ale. This was the beginning of what was to become an estate of over 300 pubs across the North West of England and North Wales.
The Unicorn Brewery still rests on the foundations of the public house on Lower Hillgate in Stockport.
The brewery continues to be run by the fifth and sixth generations of the Robinson family. The company took over Hartley's Brewery in Ulverston in 1982, closing it and transferring the brewing of Hartley's beers to Stockport in 1991. Robinsons have acquired a number of other breweries over the years, including John Heginbotham, Stalybridge (1915)
T. Schofield & Son, Ashton under Lyne (1926)
Kays Atlas Brewery, Ardwick (1929) and Bell & Co, Stockport (1949).
The brewery owns many historic pubs, including the New Hall Inn in Bowness on Windermere.

The Union Bank was an early joint stock bank in the industrial heartland of Lancashire, established in 1836 with a capital of £6 million divided into 24,000 shares of £25 each. Although the original intention of the Union Bank was to confine itself to Manchester, after twenty years this policy was changed, and its first branch opened at Knutsford in 1856. The bank flourished with the growth of industry and acquired several smaller banks in Lancashire, Cheshire and Yorkshire. It became an affiliated bank within the Barclays Group in 1919, when 99% of its capital was acquired under an arrangement whereby Union Bank shareholders were given shares in Barclays to replace their Union Bank shares. This was Barclays' last major acquisition before the Treasury put a block on major banking mergers in 1920. The Union Bank continued to be managed and marketed separately until 1940 when it was fully absorbed into Barclays

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGEER - Manchester Art Gallery, formerly Manchester City Art Gallery, is a publicly owned art museum on Mosley Street in Manchester city centre. The main gallery premises were built for a learned society in 1823 and today its collection occupies three connected buildings, two of which were designed by Sir Charles Barry. Both Barry's buildings are listed. The building that links them was designed by Hopkins Architects following an architectural design competition managed by RIBA Competitions. It opened in 2002 following a major renovation and expansion project undertaken by the art gallery.
Manchester Art Gallery is free to enter and open seven days a week. It houses many works of local and international significance and has a collection of more than 25,000 objects. More than half a million people visited the museum in the period of a year, according to figures released in April 2014. Manchester Art Gallery is housed in three connected buildings. The City Art Gallery building, which faces onto Mosley Street, was designed and constructed between 182435. It originally housed the Royal Manchester Institution. Designed by architect Sir Charles Barry in the Greek Ionic style, the building is now Grade I listed. The two-storey gallery is built in rusticated ashlar to a rectangular plan on a raised plinth. The roof is hidden by a continuous dentilled cornice and plain parapet. Its eleven-bay facade has two three-bay side ranges and a central five-bay pedimented projecting portico with six Ionic columns. Set back behind the parapet is an attic with small windows that forms a lantern above the entrance hall

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RK9X77 - Salford Lads' Club is a recreational club in the Ordsall area of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. The club, on the corner of St. Ignatius Walk and Coronation Street, was established in 1903 as a boys' club but today welcomes people of any gender and organises activities including sports and exhibitions.
The club was opened on 30 January 1904 by Robert Baden-Powell, who later founded the Scout movement. Former members include actor Albert Finney, footballers Albert McPherson, Steve Fleet, Eddie Colman and Brian Doyle, Allan Clarke, lead singer of 1960s pop group The Hollies, and Graham Nash, guitarist, songwriter and singer with The Hollies who went on to form Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
The building gained listed status in 2003 as its tiled interior is virtually unchanged with original fittings and includes a boxing ring, snooker rooms and a gym with a viewing balcony. English Heritage said: The building is thought to be the most complete example of this rare form of social provision to survive in England. In 2007, the Manchester Evening News reported that the building, which was used for the sleeve of The Smiths album The Queen Is Dead, came third in a nationwide hunt to find the most iconic buildings in the country

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RFF5W4 - Canal Street, the centre of the Manchester Gay Village, is a street in Manchester city centre in North West England. The pedestrianised street, which runs along the west side of the Rochdale Canal, is lined with gay bars and restaurants. At night time, and in daytime in the warmer months, the street is filled with visitors, often including gay and lesbian tourists from all over the world. The northern end of the street meets Minshull Street and the southern meets Princess Street
part of the street looks across the Rochdale Canal into Sackville Park.
90's Focus led to several of the pubs on or near Canal Street acquiring a predominantly gay clientele. In 1991, Manto (Manchester Tomorrow) bar opened at no. 46. It was built in 1989 by Benedict Smith Architects. Unlike the other gay bars at that time, Manto had large glass windows, allowing the casual passer-by to view what was going on inside. Previously, many establishments catering for the gay community were often keen to conceal activities from the general public, but the architectural design of Manto was seen as a queer visual statement of we're here, we're queer get used to it, and a brick-and-mortar refusal to hide any more, or to remain underground and invisible.
Over the next decade, more numerous and larger bars opened along the canal side, turning Canal Street into the centre of the most successful gay village in Europe. Because of this, the Canal Street street signs are regularly defaced to read Anal Treet or Anal Street. The success was further enhanced by the use of Canal Street and its bars in several television series, including Bob and Rose and Queer as Folk, both written by Russell T Davies.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG98K7 - A close exterior view of The Marble Arch Inn at 73 Rochdale Road, Manchester, showing the pub's name in gold lettering above its polished pink granite frontage. The composition centres on a tall sash window with etched glass bearing the words The Marble Arch Inn , ornamental scrollwork and floral decoration. A dark blue wall plaque beside the window repeats the name and records its association with Marble Brewery. The cropped study documents the materials, typography and detailing of one of Manchester's best-known historic public houses.
The Marble Arch Inn occupies a corner site at Rochdale Road and Gould Street, near Manchester city centre. The present building dates from 1888 and was designed by local architects Darbyshire and Smith as a brewery show house. It replaced an earlier pub and was constructed with buff brick above a richly treated ground floor. Although the name suggests marble, the reddish stone at street level is polished Shap granite.
Historic England lists the building at Grade II. The exterior includes Gothic-influenced openings, granite columns, shaped arches, decorative bands and an elaborate roofline. Inside, the long bar is renowned for glazed brick walls, a barrel-vaulted ceramic ceiling, a detailed frieze and a sloping mosaic floor. These features were concealed during twentieth-century alterations before being revealed again, helping the pub gain CAMRA recognition for an interior of outstanding national historic importance.
Marble Brewery was founded behind the pub in 1997, giving the premises an important place in Manchester's independent brewing history. Beer production moved to larger premises in Salford in 2019, while The Marble Arch remained the brewery's flagship pub and a destination for cask ale, craft beer, food and hospitality. The image highlights the engraved glazing, polished stonework, gold signage and preserved Victorian character.

From 1895 until 1987, its head office was the magnificent Grade II* listed, Refuge Assurance Building on Oxford Street in central Manchester, now used as the Principal Hotel. In 1987, the company decided to move out of the city centre to new, purpose-built, offices in the grounds of Fulshaw Hall in Wilmslow, around 12 miles south of the old Refuge Building. In October 1996, the Refuge Assurance Company merged with United Friendly to form the United Assurance Group (UAG).
After disappointing performances following the merger, the United Assurance Group was first approached by Britannic Assurance in November 1999, and then by Royal London Mutual Insurance Society in February 2000. Following successful talks, Royal London took over UAG for £1.6 billion.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P4HWF9 - Castlefield is an inner city conservation area of Manchester in North West England. The conservation area which bears its name is bounded by the River Irwell, Quay Street, Deansgate and Chester Road. It was the site of the Roman era fort of Mamucium or Mancunium which gave its name to Manchester. It was the terminus of the Bridgewater Canal, the world's first industrial canal, built in 1764
the oldest canal warehouse opened in 1779. The world's first passenger railway terminated here in 1830, at Liverpool Road railway station and the first railway warehouse opened here in 1831.
The Rochdale Canal met the Bridgewater Canal at Castlefield in 1805 and in the 1830s they were linked with the Mersey and Irwell Navigation by two short cuts. In 1848 the two viaducts of the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway crossed the area and joined each other, two further viaducts and one mainline station Manchester Central railway station followed. It has a tram station, Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop (formerly G-Mex) providing frequent Manchester Metrolink services to Eccles, Bury, Altrincham, Manchester Piccadilly, East Didsbury and Rochdale.
Castlefield was designated a conservation area in 1980 and the United Kingdom's first designated urban heritage park in 1982

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RM252F - Afflecks (formerly Affleck's Palace) is an indoor market in Manchester, England, in the city's Northern Quarter on the junction of Church Street/Tib Street and Dale Street with Oldham Street. Dozens of independent stalls, small shops and boutiques operate in the one building. The building was once occupied by a department store called Affleck and Brown as a store and office space, hence the name.
Affleck's Palace first opened in 1982 by James and Elaine Walsh with an ethos of offering a safe environment for entrepreneurs to start out with affordable rent and no long term contracts. Unit holders operated under a licence agreement which allowed them to pay for space on a week by week basis. The atmosphere and colourful maze-like layout led to Affleck's becoming a mecca for alternative culture. The establishment was able to bounce back from two building fires and overcame many obstacles.
During the 1990s 'Madchester Summer of Love' period, when local bands like the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays and Inspiral Carpets were at the height of their popularity
Affleck's Palace was a fashionable spot to get oversized flared jeans and tie dyed T-shirts and 'Eastern Bloc' was a popular record shop as it dealt in all the latest underground dance tunes of the time.
On 31 March 2008, Affleck's Palace ceased trading. It re-opened on 1 April 2008 as Afflecks under new management. Afflecks is now managed by Mancunian property developer Bruntwood after the expiry of a 25-year lease in 2007. It had been previously suggested that Bruntwood would redevelop the building, possibly leading to its closure as a market, with many traders having feared that closure would be likely and that notice could have been given as soon as the end of January

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJ798T - From the Ben Robinson interview,Afflecks Palace In Pieces Once More
SELF-made Manchester mosaicist Mark Kennedy has had seven mosaic art pieces installed on Tib Street along the wall of Affleck's Palace. The colourful and cracked pieces feature the likes of Eric Cantona, Colin Bell, Karl Marx, Morrissey, Ian Brown, Emmeline Pankhurst, Bet Lynch and many other 'legends' associated with Manchester.
In total Kennedy has spent almost 20 years crafting the two sets of mosaics amongst other on-going work. The theme on Affleck's is Manchester heroes, with a nod given the shopping bazaar's rock'n'roll past. Thus among the great figures of Manchester depicted there are musicians, actors, media and radical politicians.
He also couldn't help including something from his own Manchester memories of Tib Street.
When I was a little kid I used to go to Tib Street all the time to get my ferrets and buy mice from a little pet shop and that's where we all used to go. Next door was Tib Street Joke Shop that used to sell masks and stink bombs so there's one piece that represents all that.
You have to have a closer look at some of the new mosaics to fully appreciate them with some of them holding a few hidden surprises. Kennedy's take on Joy Division's classic Unknown Pleasures album cover features several tiny coloured tile fragments to set it apart from the now iconic original.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy FDNKB8 - The John Rylands Library is home to one of the world's richest and most unique collections - around 1.4 million items spanning over five thousand years and derived from all corners of the world.
John Cassidy created two matching statues, in white Saravezza marble, of John Rylands and Mrs Rylands, which stand guard over the two ends of the Library's Historic Reading Room. John Rylands (1801 - 1888) occupies a prominent position at one end, and Mrs Rylands presides over the other, near to what used to be the Library's service counter. The picture above dates from 2003.
Although the statues appear as a pair, they were not conceived or commissioned together. 'John Rylands' was commissioned by Mrs Rylands in 1894 as an integral part of the library dedicated to her late husband, and has had pride of place since the building opened in 1900, whilst her own likeness was commissioned by supporters of the Library, and unveiled on 9 December 1907, a few months before her death on 4 February 1908.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EY3RN9 - Stalybridge railway station serves Stalybridge, Greater Manchester. It lies on the Huddersfield Line, 7½ miles (12 km) east of Manchester Piccadilly and 8¼ miles (13 km) east of Manchester Victoria. The station is managed by First TransPennine Express.
Stalybridge station was built by the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway and opened on 23 December 1845. There was a Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway station adjacent but this closed in 1917. The main function of the station was as a junction for the Stockport-Stalybridge Line, which allowed passengers from London and the South to transfer to the Huddersfield Line. This role has been lost since it is now possible for passengers to change at Manchester Piccadilly station. The Micklehurst Loop also diverged from the original 1849 Huddersfield & Manchester main line here - it was closed in 1966, but the disused tunnel it used to pass below the town's northern suburbs can be seen alongside the original one that is still used today by trains heading to and from Yorkshire.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BM3JK0 - A cotton mill is a building housing spinning or weaving machinery for the production of yarn or cloth from cotton, an important product during the Industrial Revolution in the development of the factory system.
Although some were driven by animal power, most early mills were built in rural areas at fast-flowing rivers and streams using water wheels for power. The development of viable steam engines by Boulton and Watt from 1781 led to the growth of larger, steam-powered mills allowing them to be concentrated in urban mill towns, like Manchester, which with neighbouring Salford had more than 50 mills by 1802.
The mechanisation of the spinning process in the early factories was instrumental in the growth of the machine tool industry, enabling the construction of larger cotton mills. Limited companies were developed to construct mills, and the trading floors of the cotton exchange in Manchester, created a vast commercial city. Mills generated employment, drawing workers from largely rural areas and expanding urban populations. They provided incomes for girls and women. Child labour was used in the mills, and the factory system led to organised labour. Poor conditions became the subject of exposés, and in England, the Factory Acts were written to regulate them.
The cotton mill, originally a Lancashire phenomenon, was copied in New England and later in the southern states of America. In the 20th century, North West England lost its supremacy to the United States, then to Japan and subsequently to China.

Manchester Town Hall is a Victorian, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. It is the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse the town hall was completed in 1877. The building occupies a triangular site facing Albert Square and contains offices and grand ceremonial rooms such as the Great Hall which is decorated with the imposing Manchester Murals by Ford Madox Brown illustrating the history of the city. The entrance and Sculpture Hall contain busts and statues of influential figures including Dalton, Joule and Barbirolli. The exterior is dominated by the clock tower which rises to 87 metres (285 feet) and houses Great Abel, the clock bell.
In 1938, a detached Town Hall Extension was completed and is connected by two covered bridges over Lloyd Street. The town hall, which was granted Grade I listed building status on 25 February 1952, is regarded as one of the finest interpretations of Gothic revival architecture in the world

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4352626358 - 'Going back not too many years I used to work in Stockport, on the south of the Manchester conurbation (or Stokeport as the doomsday book apparently has it) and grew to know it quite well. More the old bits rather than the brutal Merseyway built over the top of the old Stockport Grammer School etc. I would often frequent the market place, Queens head, Bakers and Arden Arms, with St Marys Church at the top.
In my day the old Emersons wall advert was still covered up in Park Street (by an advertisment hoarding I think). It now adds a feeling of time to the marketplace, particularly when all the stalls have gone and only the church bells at the top of the road can be heard. It is partularly eary at dusk or early night time in this place when its deserted by traders, the council have tidied away all the cardboard and only victorian ghosts fill the streets.
Stockport Market is a collection of small traditional shops. Charlie on the Cheese Stall, the lady who does the alterations and of course the little cafe. It dates back to the 16th century as does the centre of town by 1884 it was the hub of the country's hatting industry. By which it was exporting more than six million hats a year. (Mental Note: One day I must make time to visit the the 'Museum of Hatting').
I once did a photoshoot for the short lived Stockport Ghost Tour.
This is the end of town where you would expect ghosts to be active. a place where victorian carriages would have drawn up, or maybe where public hangings would have taken place.
For sure, an interesting little bit of Englands North West.

Entertainers like this may have travelled in with a circus when it came to town and set up in parks and public places.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 3875567348 - 'A wedding image in blue toned black and white monochrome within the great neogothic town hall in Manchester, which is a designated site for marriage ceremonies.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1877 as a town hall for a prosperous emerging city, the building features imposing murals by the artist Ford Madox Brown depicting important events in the history of the city. The Town Hall was rated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building in 1952 and the Town Hall Extension, completed in 1938, was Grade II* listed in 1974.
The choice of Albert Square as location was influenced by a desire to provide a central, accessible, but relatively quiet site in a respectable district, close to Manchester's banks and municipal offices, next to a large open area, suitable for the display of a fine building.
The foundation stone of the new Town Hall was laid on 26th October 1868 by the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Robert Neill. The Town Hall was opened by Lord Mayor Abel Heywood, on 13 September 1877, after Queen Victoria's snubbed the city and refusal to attend the opening.
As you enter on the floor is a mosaic depicting the bee, the symbol of Manchester's being a hive of industry during the 19th century. The bee also used be on the Boddingtons beer logo. A history going back to 1778 was ended when last family chairman Ewart Boddington sold the Strangeways brewery and the Boddingtons brand to Whitbread for \u00a350.7 million. In May 2000, the Whitbread Beer Company was acquired by brewing conglomerate Interbrew. In 2004 brewing was moved from the original site next to Manchester's main victorian prison. Cask Boddingtons is still brewed in Manchester however, at teh former Kestral Lager brewary at Moss Side.
Reasuringly the town hall tower is still topped by a golden cotton seed ball, the original source of the city's wealth. That will not go the way of Strangeways brewery.

The building is one of Greater Manchester's best known music pilgrimage locations because The Smiths were photographed outside it by Stephen Wright in 1985, with the image later appearing inside the gatefold sleeve of the band's third studio album, The Queen Is Dead. The doorway has become a landmark for Smiths fans, indie music followers, Manchester music tourists and visitors recreating the famous band photograph. The club is also far more than a pop culture backdrop. It is a historic youth and community institution, opened in the early twentieth century and long associated with youth work, boxing, sport, local social provision, working class life and voluntary action in Ordsall. This red brick street corner scene has strong editorial and commercial search value for The Smiths, Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, Mike Joyce, Salford music heritage, Manchester music history, British indie rock, post-punk, alternative music, album sleeve locations, fan culture, pop culture tourism, youth clubs, community buildings, Edwardian architecture, heritage preservation and northern working class history. The wet pavement, overcast daylight, arched windows and bold green doors give the photograph a clear documentary feel, suitable for features on cultural landmarks, music trails, Salford regeneration, local identity, community fundraising and the survival of historic voluntary sector venues. Recent reporting has highlighted financial pressure and campaigns to protect the club, giving the image added relevance as a symbol of both international music memory and everyday community resilience. With no people visible, it remains flexible for news, travel, arts, culture, social history, heritage, tourism, music journalism, educational publishing, stock photo buyer and blog use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BM3JMK - Cotton-spinning machinery refers to machines which process (or spin) prepared cotton roving into workable yarn or thread. Such machinery can be dated back centuries. During the 18th and 19th centuries, as part of the Industrial Revolution cotton-spinning machinery was developed to bring mass production to the cotton industry. Cotton spinning machinery was installed in large factories, commonly known as cotton mills.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy FDNKXE - Monochrome interior view of the John Rylands Library on Deansgate in Manchester city centre, showing the life-size white marble statue of Enriqueta Augustina Rylands in the Historic Reading Room. The standing figure is portrayed with her hands clasped, wearing an elaborate period dress with lace and layered fabric details. Behind the sculpture are stone walls, carved Gothic tracery, a wall-mounted clock, decorative niches and one of the smaller historic figures positioned around the room.
Enriqueta Rylands founded the library as a memorial to her husband, the wealthy Manchester textile manufacturer and philanthropist John Rylands. Designed by architect Basil Champneys in an elaborate late-Victorian Gothic Revival style, the library opened to the public in 1900. Its cathedral-like reading room contains portrait statues of John and Enriqueta Rylands facing one another at opposite ends, alongside figures associated with literature, religion, philosophy, printing and science.
The Enriqueta Rylands statue was created by Manchester-based sculptor John Cassidy from white Seravezza marble and unveiled on 9 December 1907. It was commissioned by supporters of the library in recognition of the founder whose vision, funding and determination created one of Manchester's most distinctive cultural institutions. The pale sculpture stands out dramatically against the dark stone architecture, an effect heightened by the black and white treatment.
The photograph documents women's philanthropy, public sculpture, Manchester history and the ornate interior of a Grade I listed building. The clock and architectural details provide context for the statue's prominent position, while the low viewpoint gives the founder commanding presence. The scene is suitable for editorial subjects including historic libraries, women benefactors, Victorian and Edwardian culture, Gothic Revival architecture, University of Manchester collections, sculpture, tourism and British cultural heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BM3JP6 - Non-flushing water closetsportable pieces of furniture with removable containers for wastebecame the standard in pre-Victorian Britain, though many households continued to rely on the backyard privy. The problem of waste disposalwhether from a chamber pot or from an overused hole in the groundremained.
The Victorians made the connection between unsanitary conditions and disease that the Elizabethans hadn't and developed municipal sewer systems to try to keep their cities cleaner. The problem was that they didn't have a good way of connecting individual households to the system. Non-flushing water closets could be dressed up, but their contents couldn't be taken out. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries (about the same time the sewers were built), English patents were granted for several different types of water-closet valves, but their flushing actions were pretty inefficient. The wall mounted cistern that became popular in the 1870s vastly improved the situation because it provided a large volume of water under more pressure. Water-closet bowls remained a problem, though, because their rudimentary traps didn't do a very good job of either letting waste go down the drain or keeping sewer gases out of the building. At first these bowls were made of earthenware and glazed with sometimes-elaborate designs. In 1885, Thomas Twyford built the first vitreous china toilet, inspiring competition from other notable English potteries such as Wedgwood and Doulton
it wasn't long before vitreous china became the standard for the fledgling industry.
American inventors were also seeking solutions to the problem of building a sanitary water closet. As early as 1875, James Henry and William Campbell patented a plunger-type water closet
over the next 50 or so years more than 350 applications for patents for various types of water-closet designs were received by the U.S. patent office. In 1907

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RK9X74 - Salford Lads' Club is a recreational club in the Ordsall area of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. The club, on the corner of St. Ignatius Walk and Coronation Street, was established in 1903 as a boys' club but today welcomes people of any gender and organises activities including sports and exhibitions.
The club was opened on 30 January 1904 by Robert Baden-Powell, who later founded the Scout movement. Former members include actor Albert Finney, footballers Albert McPherson, Steve Fleet, Eddie Colman and Brian Doyle, Allan Clarke, lead singer of 1960s pop group The Hollies, and Graham Nash, guitarist, songwriter and singer with The Hollies who went on to form Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
The building gained listed status in 2003 as its tiled interior is virtually unchanged with original fittings and includes a boxing ring, snooker rooms and a gym with a viewing balcony. English Heritage said: The building is thought to be the most complete example of this rare form of social provision to survive in England. In 2007, the Manchester Evening News reported that the building, which was used for the sleeve of The Smiths album The Queen Is Dead, came third in a nationwide hunt to find the most iconic buildings in the country

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BM3JJB - A cotton mill is a building housing spinning or weaving machinery for the production of yarn or cloth from cotton, an important product during the Industrial Revolution in the development of the factory system.
Although some were driven by animal power, most early mills were built in rural areas at fast-flowing rivers and streams using water wheels for power. The development of viable steam engines by Boulton and Watt from 1781 led to the growth of larger, steam-powered mills allowing them to be concentrated in urban mill towns, like Manchester, which with neighbouring Salford had more than 50 mills by 1802.
The mechanisation of the spinning process in the early factories was instrumental in the growth of the machine tool industry, enabling the construction of larger cotton mills. Limited companies were developed to construct mills, and the trading floors of the cotton exchange in Manchester, created a vast commercial city. Mills generated employment, drawing workers from largely rural areas and expanding urban populations. They provided incomes for girls and women. Child labour was used in the mills, and the factory system led to organised labour. Poor conditions became the subject of exposés, and in England, the Factory Acts were written to regulate them.
The cotton mill, originally a Lancashire phenomenon, was copied in New England and later in the southern states of America. In the 20th century, North West England lost its supremacy to the United States, then to Japan and subsequently to China.
