Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED8PP1 - Victoria Square is a pedestrianised public square in Birmingham, England. It is home to both the Town Hall and the Council House, and directly adjacent to Chamberlain Square.
The square is often considered to be the centre of Birmingham, and is the point from where local road sign distances are measured. It is a short walk from St. Philip's Cathedral on Colmore Row and is on the main pedestrian route between the Bull Ring and Brindleyplace areas. Three major roads, Colmore Row, New Street and Paradise Street meet there.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CFEFHN - Gold Zone Virgin trains sign, Warrington Bank Quay, Parker St, Warrington, Cheshire , UK
Virgin Trains introduced three sliding classes of travel. Instead of First and Standard, you'd have Gold Zone, Blue Zone and Purple Zone. Gold Zone was full First Class and available to full-fare First Open ticket holders only. This would always take up at least 2 of the First Class vehicles, but in the peaks would take up all of them.
'Purple Zone was Standard Class, available to all Standard ticket holders, and would take up at least 3 of the Standard Class vehicles. The other vehicles would be the Blue Zone, which was where it got controversial. The Blue Zone was available only to holders of full-fare undiscounted Standard Open singles and returns, but also contained Weekend First accommodation on weekends and off-peak. On weekends, it would include both First and Standard accommodation, but in the peaks Standard only.'

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MHM66Y - . Recorded at the recorded location in 2018, the image fixes a recognisable subject and its environment at one point in time, giving later viewers a reliable basis for comparison. The defining feature is Lancaster railway station, home of Lancaster university, platform. The image also relates to revision resource, study material, exam preparation, visual archive, before-and-after reference, place identity, historical comparison, regional identity, changing streetscape, exam practice, everyday life, advanced mathematics, assessment material, and school examination. The modern context includes continuing discussion of digital learning, education standards and the pressure placed on students by high-stakes assessment. The archival value lies partly in recording landscape treatment and surrounding development around the recorded location before altered transport patterns alters the character of the place. The surrounding story also includes qualification assessment, public realm, period detail, secondary education, student revision, contemporary social history, education publishing, and changing land use. The combination of platform, station, Lancaster, railway, and university anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. Image MHM66Y still provides a clear period benchmark for Lancaster railway station, home of Lancaster university, platform, preserving details of design, wording, material, use or presentation that may later change. The scene further reflects digital learning and the pressure placed on students by high-stakes assessment as part of the longer story of the recorded location. Its period value extends to student attainment and the continuing importance of mathematics skills in science, technology and engineering when considered against later change at the recorded location. The photograph keeps part of the area's social history as a date-specific reference. The record includes details of everyday use for later comparison.
