Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RE4PK0 - . Panorama of Northwich Quay - Geomac Canal boat marina on the River Weaver Navigation, London Road, Northwich, Cheshire, UK, CW9 5HD. Photographed on 13 July 2023. The recorded location is Northwich Quay Marina, London Road, Northwich, Cheshire, England, UK, CW9 5HD. Northwich Quay Canal Boat Marina is ideally located for exploring some of the nearby attractions. The marina is just a short distance from the Anderton Boat Lift, a remarkable engineering feat and a popular tourist attraction. The nearby Delamere Forest offers beautiful woodland walks and bike trails, while the nearby town of Chester is home to a range of attractions, including the historic Chester Cathedral, Chester Zoo, and the city walls. The historical setting for leisure boating is that canal infrastructure is a legacy of the Industrial Revolution, when navigable waterways linked mines, mills, factories and ports
The same lock chambers and towpaths now support leisure cruising, walking, cycling, wildlife and waterside redevelopment. Seen through harbour town, the earlier context is that working harbours combine civil engineering with everyday transport
Their breakwaters, piers, navigation lights and boarding areas reflect successive generations of investment as traditional fishing and coastal shipping have been joined by tourism, cruise traffic and lifeline ferry services. For urban housing, the historical context is that housing photographs document evolving ideas about density, tenure, architecture and neighbourhood design
Tower blocks, suburban estates, converted industrial buildings and private apartment schemes each represent different responses to demand for homes in particular periods. In the 2026 discussion of leisure boating, the condition and funding of ageing waterway infrastructure remain recurring issues, while canals are valued for navigation, walking, cycling, biodiversity and urban regeneration as well as heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK64X - 9/11 memorial's fountains flow
The fountain, where the north tower of the World Trade Center once stood, was undergoing tests of the massive pumping systems that will blast 26,000 gallons a minute over the 30-foot deep black granite walls.
Daniels, who happened upon the test yesterday, said the sight of the water filling the 1-acre pool was awe-inspiring after years of planning and building.
Construction workers from around the site paused to look and listen during the tests as engineers below the memorial plaza monitored and adjusted the 16 pumps that will circulate 480,000 gallons of recycled water.
During the design phase of the memorial, there were concerns that the fountains might be too loud. But Daniels said the sound of the cascading water yesterday created a nice, peaceful background, like the sound of the ocean.
It's perfect. It's not overwhelming at all, Daniels said.
A second fountain over the footprint of the south tower will be ready for testing later this year. A spokesman for the Port Authority, which is overseeing construction of the $500 million memorial, said yesterday's trial run went very well.
The two fountains together make up the nation's largest manmade waterfalls, and are at the heart of the design of the memorial, called Reflecting Absence.
Paula Berry, a 9/11 family member who served on the 13-member jury that picked the memorial design by Michael Arad, was ecstatic about the test run.
The presence of water is incredibly important at the memorial, said Berry. When you think of the memorial's name, Reflecting Absence, you have to have the means to reflect and the water plays that role.
But Berry said the sound of the water rushing over the sides of the fountains could very well be one of the most lasting impressions visitors take away.
Yesterday's tests lasted a few hours, and will be repeated as needed.
Construction of the memorial remains on schedule for its planned opening next Sept. 11 ” the 10th anniversary

The buildings are among many created by the World Trade Centers Association. The original World Trade Center featured the landmark Twin Towers, which opened in 1973, and were the tallest buildings in the world at the time of their completion. They were destroyed on the morning of September 11, 2001, when al-Qaeda-affiliated hijackers flew two Boeing 767 jets into the complex in a coordinated act of terrorism. The attacks on the World Trade Center killed 2,753 people.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AFK6J2 - . Made at the recorded location in 2018, this photograph records a real place and subject in context, allowing later viewers to compare what has survived, changed, closed, moved or been replaced. The view centres on WTC,World Trade Center Place, New York City, NYC, New York state,USA, with office blocks in background. The photograph also reflects documentary photography, commercial streetscape, place identity, high-street commerce, local trading, community identity, period detail, urban commerce, changing streetscape, retail property, contemporary social history, bricks-and-mortar retail, regional identity, and local character. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject sits within continuing debate about commercial rents, consumer spending and the shift toward mixed retail, leisure, service and residential centres. With the passage of time, the image retains small features of identity that written records may overlook within the recorded location. The setting also brings in historic context, retail vacancy, customer footfall, shopfront economy, consumer retail, town-centre economy, commercial frontage, and independent trading. Elements such as blocks, Center, Place, background, and state add documentary specificity and may become more useful when compared with later records. 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 commercial rents and the shift toward mixed retail, leisure, service and residential centres as part of the longer story of the recorded location. A further contemporary connection is commercial rents and bringing underused premises back into productive use when considered against later change at the recorded location. The scene captures a point of historical comparison as a date-specific reference.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ETRXCC - Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland from its position on the Castle Rock. Archaeologists have established human occupation of the rock since at least the Iron Age (2nd century AD), although the nature of the early settlement is unclear. There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603. From the 15th century the castle's residential role declined, and by the 17th century it was principally used as military barracks with a large garrison. Its importance as a part of Scotland's national heritage was recognised increasingly from the early 19th century onwards, and various restoration programmes have been carried out over the past century and a half. As one of the most important strongholds in the Kingdom of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle was involved in many historical conflicts from the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 14th century to the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Research undertaken in 2014 identified 26 sieges in its 1100 year-old history, giving it a claim to having been the most besieged place in Great Britain and one of the most attacked in the world.[2]
Few of the present buildings pre-date the Lang Siege of the 16th century, when the medieval defences were largely destroyed by artillery bombardment. The most notable exceptions are St Margaret's Chapel from the early 12th century, which is regarded as the oldest building in Edinburgh,[3] the Royal Palace and the early-16th-century Great Hall, although the interiors have been much altered from the mid-Victorian period onwards. The castle also houses the Scottish regalia, known as the Honours of Scotland and is the site of the Scottish National War Memorial and the National War Museum of Scotland. The British Army is still responsible for some parts of the castle, although its presence is now largely ceremonial.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy ED9ERR - . Bridge Foot Warrington & River Mersey panorama reflection Cheshire England UK. Photographed on 9 November 2014. The recorded location is Bridge Foot, Latchford, Warrington, Cheshire, England, UK. From a heritage perspective, panoramic and atmospheric views place individual landmarks within their wider setting
Light, season and weather affect how architecture and landscape are perceived, while distant development can provide clues to the evolving form of a town or coastline. In historical terms, consumer products often use heritage and place as part of their branding
Traditional colours, flags, regional names and historic typography can turn everyday packaging into an expression of identity as well as a commercial object. As of 2026, current interest in climate and place-making gives atmospheric landscape photographs added documentary value, particularly where weather, coastlines or urban development are prominent. During 2026, packaging is increasingly judged not only by branding but by recyclability, material use and environmental claims
Older products can therefore illustrate how consumer design evolved before today's stronger focus on circularity and waste reduction. As background, seasonal and low-light photography can emphasise the relationship between natural conditions and the built environment
Dusk, snow, mist or dramatic cloud often reveal lighting, silhouettes and reflective surfaces that are less apparent in ordinary daylight. The wider historical story is that landscape photographs record more than scenery: buildings, vegetation, weather, transport and land use combine to show how a place appeared at a particular moment
Repeated views can later become valuable evidence of development, environmental change and shifting patterns of use. Associated subject terminology includes scenic view, night photography, seasonal landscape, skyline, cityscape, coastal landscape, urban landscape, travel photography, wide view, and sense of place.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DG38K1 - . Concierge security man at Argyll Arcade Victorian Glasgow shopping mall , Scotland, UK. Photographed on 23 August 2013. The recorded location is 30 Buchanan Street, Merchant City, Glasgow, Scotland UK G2 8BG. A better class of security guard in the poshest shopping centre in Glasgow! Looking at the subject's development, physical access control traditionally relied on guards, passes, keys and written instructions
Surviving notices show the routines of secure workplaces and can reveal the culture of secrecy or safety surrounding military, transport and industrial operations. Historically, historic and contemporary architecture can be read as a record of investment, planning and changing urban functions
Civic, commercial, industrial and residential buildings each contribute to the character of a townscape, particularly where older structures are adapted rather than demolished. In the longer view, historic objects and places gain meaning through survival
Materials, craftsmanship, inscriptions and later alterations can reveal how a property, machine or everyday item was made, used and valued, while preservation decisions show which parts of the past communities choose to retain. For the 2026 context, modern security spans both buildings and information systems
Historic signs about passes and restricted entrances therefore illustrate the continuity of access control even though the technology used to authenticate people has changed. In 2026, the reuse of existing buildings is increasingly discussed alongside conservation, embodied carbon and town-centre regeneration
Images of older façades and converted premises can therefore illustrate both architectural heritage and the practical pressures of adapting buildings for new uses. As of 2026, heritage continues to be economically and culturally significant through tourism, education and place-making, while the cost of maintaining historic fabric creates continuing debate about conservation and reuse.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H2H9HY - This documentary stock photograph shows St Paul's Cathedral London in the evening. The image is centred on St Paul's Cathedral, giving it strong editorial value for stories about London, architecture, tourism, heritage, public realm, night photography and the way the capital presents itself beside the River Thames. The caption and visible treatment indicate low light, dusk or evening atmosphere, so the photograph can be used as a real city scene rather than a generic skyline. The wider context includes Sir Christopher Wren's cathedral, City of London identity, baroque architecture, wartime memory and the ceremonial heart of the capital. These are subjects with broad stock-photo demand because they connect recognisable landmarks with themes of history, culture, faith, finance, theatre, regeneration, transport, walking routes and visitor spending. The image can support articles about City of London working life, South Bank tourism, Bankside leisure, London at dusk, cathedral heritage, riverside views, public spaces, cultural venues, urban planning, commercial property and the continuing pull of landmark architecture in news and travel publishing. For SEO and Alamy search, useful composite phrases include London dusk skyline, St Pauls Cathedral evening view, River Thames panorama, Bankside cultural quarter, Shakespeare Globe Theatre exterior, Millennium Bridge London, City of London landmark and Southwark riverside tourism. If the image is black and white, the monochrome style adds a more timeless, architectural feel
if it is in colour, the low-light sky and urban illumination add atmosphere and practical editorial appeal. Its value lies in combining a recognisable subject with a specific viewpoint and mood, suitable for guidebooks, blogs, newspapers, magazines, education, heritage, planning, religion, theatre, travel and city-break content.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BK4F7C - Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile mills of the Industrial Revolution and is now a museum of the cotton industry. Built in 1784, the mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and inspired the 2013 television series The Mill. It was established by Samuel Greg. The mill was notable for the innovative approach to labour relations, largely as a result of the work of Greg's wife, Hannah Lightbody.
Samuel Greg leased land at Quarrell Hole on Pownall Fee from Lord Stamford, who imposed a condition that 'none of the surrounding trees should be pruned, felled or lopped´
maintaining the woodland character of the area. The factory was built in 1784 by Greg to spin cotton. When Greg retired in 1832 it was the largest such business in the United Kingdom. The water-powered Georgian mill still produces cotton calico. The Gregs were careful and pragmatic, paternalistic millowners, and the mill was expanded and changed throughout its history. When Greg's son, Robert Hyde Greg, took over the business, he introduced weaving. Samuel Greg died in 1834.
The Mill was attacked during the Plug Plot riots on 10 August 1842

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HDT9 - St Wulfram's Church, Grantham, is a parish church in the Church of England in Grantham in Lincolnshire. The church has been a Grade I listed building, since 8 May 1950.
In his book England's Thousand Best Churches, Simon Jenkins begins his description of St Wulfram's: Here is the finest steeple in England
It is believed that a church stood on the site long before Norman times, but of the original Saxon church probably only a few stones, near the organ loft, remain. The church was totally altered by the Normans and the remains of their church may still be seen in the nave. From its foundation until the 18th century, it was the only church in the town, helping to explain its size in comparison with the churches at nearby Stamford. Although there were a number of religious cells in Grantham, including a Franciscan Friary, the Grey Friars, west of the market place, the wealth of the medieval wool trade was channelled into St Wulfram's Church.
The north aisle arcades, except for the two west bays, date from before 1180. The original Norman church was ruined by fire when it was hit by lightning in 1222. The north aisle was rebuilt in about 1250. In 1280 the church expanded westwards over what was the market-place. The huge piers in the west end of the church have many 13th-century mason's marks, as do the spiral stairs to the belfry. In 1450 the north aisle was extended, and some time after 1496 St Katherine's Chapel was added by the Hall family. In 1550 the south aisle was lengthened and the Lady Chapel was built.
The church was restored in 1866-67 by Sir George Gilbert Scott. Of interest are window frames from different periods, the use of ballflower ornament and the crypt chapel. The north porch was built to house relics of St Wulfram (possibly an arm bone), and the chained library occupies a room over the south porch which was once a priests' living room.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4649331451 - 'A local tale suggests the site of St Oswald's church, Winwick, was decided by a pig that carried and laid the foundation stones where the church was subsequently built!
A pig is commemorated on the west wall of the tower, this could be the evidence or the start of the medieval urban myth. That would certainley be an intelligent pig that would not be eaten in just one sitting!
The Domesday Book in 1086 records that a church existed here at the time of the Norman conquest . The oldest part of the present church dates from the early 14th century. An inscription in the church commemorates King Oswald of Northumbria, a prominent Christian, who is said to have been killed here in 642.
Remains on the site ate thought to go back even further. The current church occupies the site of an ancient Druidical altar and pre-Christian temple. Excavations beneath this Chancel in 1828 revealed 3 gigantic skeletons supporting these theories.
Pictured here is the chancel, formed from a panorama of four seperate images joined. The main body of the church and its wooden nave is currently under threat from Death Watch Beatle. In late april teh local newspaper, the Warrington Guardian reported the following:
'The oak beams of the nave roof at the Winwick church have been gnawed at by death watch beetles, a wood-boring insect, which has led to water seeping into the Legh Chapel and major structural problems in Gerrard Chapel.
The nave has been closed since January after builders carried out maintenance on ceiling tiles and discovered the delapidated beams. Wardens must now apply to English Heritage for a grant by June if they are to get funding during 2010 to resolve the problem.
They hope to hear if they are successful by the end of the year. The work will be carried out over the next two years, depending on how the grant is staged. Warden Christine Melia said: \u201cWe\u2019re looking to set up a website to support the funding and we\u2019re hoping that members of the congregation get involved.\u201d
Meanwhile the main Sunday morning services are being held in the church hall. The chancel can still be used for baptisms and weddings but only if the congregation does not exceed 50 people. Christine confirmed that the application for the English Heritage grant would be fully supported by the Rev Canon June Steventon, who was licensed as the church\u2019s new vicar on Tuesday.
St Oswald\u2019s Church is a Grade I listed structure and its earliest parts date back to the early 13th century with the nave \u2013 the long central part of the building \u2013 dated at roughly 1580'

To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.
I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
Ian Curtis (Ian Kevin Curtis to be precise) was songwriter and lyricist of the Manchester band Joy Division.
I was lucky enough to see Joy Division a couple of times. Once at the manchester Free Trade Hall 25/06/1979, with Fashion supporting Salford Punk Poet John Cooper Clarke. Secondly at the Factory / PSV / Russel club in Hulme, Manchester 28/09/1979. The latter time on a bill with The Teardrop Explodes (we were too late to see Foreign Press), before they were signed and had just released the Sleeping Gas EP on Zoo records.
I remember that friday night well as me and my pal from school David Hague were dropped off by his brother Nick in his nippy red leather seated Mazda. This was to be totalled some weeks later in Sheffield with over a hundred charges being cooked up by the south Yorkshire police. As you would expect the case was chucked out! But thats another story as they say.
The first time I saw Ian Curtis I was amazed at the power he had. I like everyone else it seemed at the FTH was drawn down to the stage to look at this man and his unique dancing style. Similar to an epileptic Northern Soul dancer. To this day I have not witnessed a vocalist with those same powers. He and his writing was special, dark, urban.
He explained the motivation as 'Instead of just singing about something you could show it as well, put it over in the way that it is, if you were totally involved in what you were doing'.
Songs like 'Transmission', 'Shes Lost Control again' and Shadowplay encapsulated Manchester and the late 1970's.
In the early hours of 18 May 1980, on the eve of a first tour in America, Curtis hanged himself in the kitchen of his house in Macclesfield. He had just viewed Werner Herzog's film 'Stroszek' and listened to Iggy Pop's 'The Idiot'. At the time of his death, his health was failing as a result of the epilepsy and attempting to balance his musical ambitions with his marriage, which was foundering in the aftermath of his affair with journalist Annik Honor\u00e9. His wife Deborah found his body the next morning.
Curtis's memorial stone, which is inscribed with 'Ian Curtis 18 - 5 - 80' and 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' (the single released just before his death), was stolen in July 2008 from the grounds of Macclesfield Cemetery. The missing memorial stone was later replaced by a new one shown here.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4589609737 - 'Saltaire United Reformed Church is one of the UK's most precious Victorian architectural gems. The church was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1859 near Shipley along from Bradford, West Yorkshire. Its style is Italianate religious architecture. It has been described as a classic 'Cathedral of Congregationalism'.
Saltaire was Sir Titus Salt's legacy. Sir Titus Salt, 1st Baronet (20 September 1803 \u2013 29 December 1876), born in Morley, near Leeds, was a manufacturer, politician and philanthropist in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. I find him pretty inspirational, he was certainly way ahead of his time. His father Daniel Salt was a fairly successful businessman and was able to send Titus to Batley Grammar School.
In 1833 he had taken over the running of his father's business and within twenty years had expanded it to be the largest employer in Bradford. In 1848 Titus Salt became mayor of Bradford. He had a social conscience and took steps to look for solutions to the pollution from the many factory chimneys in the city.
Around 1850, he decided to build a large mill to consolidate his textile manufacture in one place, but he 'did not like to be a party to increasing that already over-crowded borough', and he bought some land three miles from Bradford, adjacent to Shipley next to the River Aire. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the Midland Railway, main arteries of the day were adjacent.
Building of his mill was begun in 1851. He opened it with a grand banquet on his 50th birthday, 20 September 1853. Following that public conscience he then set about building the houses, bathhouses, institute, hospital, almshouses and churches, that make up Saltaire. very revolutionary for the time. Similar ventures were persued by the quaker chocolate barons at Bournville and by Rowntree in York. Salt built the Congregational Church pictured here (now Saltaire United Reformed Church) at his own expense in 1858\u201359. He donated the land on which the Wesleyan Chapel was built by public subscription in 1866\u201368.
Sir Titus commissioned architects Lockwood and Mawson to design the building, as they had designed a number of other important Italianate buildings in Bradford City centre.
His body is interred at a mausaleum at the church and can be viewed. Reportidly at his funeral 100,000 people lined the route. Many people had him to thank for his far sightedness and care for his fellow man.
The church today is grade I listed. The entrance is up six steps under a portico supported by six unfluted Corinthian columns and topped by a fretted tower with cupola.
Inside are hollow Corinthian columns with beautiful Scagliola exteriors, an Italian technique implemented by Mr. Dolan of Manchester. Two ornate chandeliers of ormolu and cut glass hang from the ceiling, of such great weight that additional roof trusses had to be inserted to support them. Originally lit by gas, they were made by Hausburg of Liverpool.
The existing organ, built by Peter Conacher and Co. of Huddersfield, was installed in 1890, rebuilt at the end of the Second World War.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4546943548 - 'One of my favourite watering holes in the city of Edinburgh. Delightfully tucked away off Princes Street and away from the rowdy bars of Rose Street. My default choice in there is Weihenstephan - '\u00e4lteste Brauerei der Welt' (lierally Dedicating Stefan - oldest brewery of the world), which is a lovely pint, in its own special tall glass. A plaque outside details its history.
The origins of the site was the Guildford Arms Hotel. This was more or less totally rteworked by Robert Macfarlane Cameron in 1898. It was modelled on the then popular victorian gin palace theme echoing the Phil in Liverpool and the Crown in Belfast among others. Most pubs were at the time male dominated and frankly dingy and possibly a little dangerous. The temperance movement is said to have encouraged the design of more luxurious pubs, particularly suitable for the fairer sex rather than just men.
The current configuration dates from 1940. However the centrepoint of the Guildford\u2019s late Victorian opulence is the magnificent Jacobean style ceiling which can be seen in this image. A row of real ale pumps on the bar all have the logo of DM Stewart, owner since victorian days.
A grand old Thorne Brothers Mirror hangs at the end of the bar. Just below the cornice height, wood panelling conceals a hidden room: legend has that this was aparently used to store spirits and other liquor which was pumped to the room from street level. A narrow walkway
leads from this room around the inner walls to the Gallery. This gallery now provides an ideal spot for diners to marvel at the superbly decorated ceiling or gaze down at the punters in the Public Bar. Both lunch and dinner are served in the Gallery Restaurant with lunch and snacks (Chilli Cashews is my weakness when in there) also served in the Lounge &
Public Bar areas. I can vouch for the excellent range of real ales. Usually a wider selection from Scotland (including the islands) than the neighbour to the south too. Readers of The Edinburgh Evening News voted the Guildford Arms Best City Bar in 1999. If you are in town and have a spare hour or so for victorian time travel, pop in!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4521877662 - 'St Michael's Cathedral was built after the destruction of the former during world war II during extreme German Luftwaffe bombing raids on the 14th November 1940. The intensity of this city's destruction was termed 'Coventry-isation' by Hitler.
It is to the external viewer quite concrete-y, yet a fine celebration of 20th century modernist architecture. The new cathedral was designed by Basil Spence (Knighted for this work) and Arup, constructed by John Laing. It is also a Grade I listed building. Remains of the old cathedral still sit beside it. A competition was held in 1950 to find an architect for the new Cathedral, over 200 designs were submitted. The foundation stone of the new cathedral was laid by Queen Elizabeth II on 23rd March 1956. Actual consecration was over 6 years later on the 25th May 1962.
Its design provoked much discussion, much like the new modernist catholic cathedral in Liverpool. A large tapestry of Christ dominates the altar area. the baptistery consists of a ceiling high mosaic of 195 panes of stained glass. The Great West Window, which looks out on the remains of the old cathedral is known as the Screen of Saints and Angels, engraved directly onto the screen in expressionist style by the New Zealand artist John Hutton.
The ceiling is an innovative and complicated construction. There are multiple pyramids of Canadian Spruce slats. Panels above each of which is movable so if needed the acoustic properties of the cathedral can be adjusted for paticular events. Around the nave walls are tablets of stone (the 'tablets of the word') with inscriptions. These are by Ralph Beyer. Inscriptions are uneven deliberately to try to reflect early Christian inscriptions.

Thomas Baldwin and later John Palmer were involved in its construction from 1789 onwards. Work continued until its final opening in 1799. Some Corinthian style half columns were added with a nice upper floor later. These open onto Stall street and you can now take tea on the first floor and watch people come and go in the square.
The pump room is now a grand restaurant with nice chandeliers and a piano. It looks to be a great spot for a luxurious quintessential English treat, tea, cakes or champers (just don\u2019t forget your wallet!).

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4467466811 - 'This brilliant statue of horses in a fountain, from 1992 can be found just along from Piccadilly Circus heading towards Trafalgar Square at Haymarket. Another one of those things that I have passed many times and never got around to taking a snap. Anyway, I did manage to this evening. Rudy Weller's 'Horses of Helios'. Two are depicted, randomly choose from Pyrois, Eos, Aethon, and Phleyon, named in the legend. If you know which two they are, please leave a comment.
Helios was of course the Greek god of the sun and the four horses were his mythical transport.
In this shot I am looking back towards Piccadilly Circus and Ripleys 'Believe it or not'. Still very busy with rush hour office workers and Italian tourists making the most of the strong Euro.

The river was why the Romans came to build their fort here and the area below the city of Chester (now called The Roodee), which is now occupied by the racecourse was where the harbour was located. Over time the river silted and Liverpool became the port of choice for sea going vessels.
Near to this pedestrian bridge, north of town, is the Groves. A paved promenade complete with bandstand, caf\u00e9s, restaurants and pubs. Here there are river cruises or rowing boats to hire.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HDH6 - Salford Quays is an area of Salford, Greater Manchester, England, near the end of the Manchester Ship Canal. Previously the site of Manchester Docks, it became one of the first and largest urban regeneration projects in the United Kingdom following the closure of the dockyards in 1982.
Built by the Manchester Ship Canal Company, Salford Docks was the larger of two sections that made up Manchester Docks
the other being Pomona Docks to the east.
They were opened in 1894 by Queen Victoria and spanned 120 acres (49 ha) of water and 1,000 acres (400 ha) of land. At their height the Manchester Docks were the third busiest port in Britain, but after containerisation and the limit placed on vessel size on the Manchester Ship Canal, the docks declined during the 1970s. They closed in 1982, resulting in the loss of 3000 jobs
