Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2T0DAF1 - Dame Gracie Fields DBE OStJ (born Grace Stansfield
9 January 1898 “ 27 September 1979) was an English actress, singer, comedian and star of cinema and music hall who was one of the top ten film stars in Britain during the 1930s and was considered the highest paid film star in the world in 1937. She was known affectionately as Our Gracie and the Lancashire Lass and for never losing her strong, native Lancashire accent. She was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) and an Officer of the Venerable Order of St John (OStJ) in 1938, and a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1979.
Fields was born Grace Stansfield, a daughter of Frederick Stansfield (1874“1956) and his wife Sarah Jane 'Jenny' Stansfield née Bamford (1879“1953), over a fish and chip shop owned by her grandmother, Sarah Bamford, in Molesworth Street, Rochdale, Lancashire. Her great-grandfather, William Stansfield (b.1805), of Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire, was a descendant of the Stansfield family of Stansfield, Yorkshire
In 1939, Fields suffered a breakdown and went to Capri to recuperate. World War II was declared while she was recovering in Capri, and Fields “ still very ill after her cancer surgery “ threw herself into her work and signed up for the Entertainments National Service Association (ENSA) headed by her old film producer, Basil Dean. Fields travelled to France to entertain the troops in the midst of air-raids, performing on the backs of open lorries and in war-torn areas. During the war, she also paid for all servicemen and women to travel free on public transport within the boundaries of Rochdale
She continued to spend much of her time entertaining troops and otherwise supporting the war effort outside Britain
On 3 October 2009, the final train to run on the Oldham Loop before it closed to be converted to a tramway, a Class 156, was named in her honour. In September 2016, a statue of Fields was unveiled outside Rochdale Town Hall

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KDPYAN - A printed circuit board (PCB
also printed wiring board or PWB) is a medium used in electrical and electronic engineering to connect electronic components to one another in a controlled manner. It takes the form of a laminated sandwich structure of conductive and insulating layers: each of the conductive layers is designed with an artwork pattern of traces, planes and other features (similar to wires on a flat surface) etched from one or more sheet layers of copper laminated onto and/or between sheet layers of a non-conductive substrate. Electrical components may be fixed to conductive pads on the outer layers in the shape designed to accept the component's terminals, generally by means of soldering, to both electrically connect and mechanically fasten them to it. Another manufacturing process adds vias: plated-through holes that allow interconnections between layers
The Austrian engineer Paul Eisler invented the printed circuit as part of a radio set while working in the UK around 1936. In 1941 a multi-layer printed circuit was used in German magnetic influence naval mines
Around 1943 the USA began to use the technology on a large scale to make proximity fuzes for use in World War II. Such fuzes required an electronic circuit that could withstand being fired from a gun, and could be produced in quantity
Motorola was an early leader in bringing the process into consumer electronics, announcing in August 1952 the adoption of plated circuits in home radios after six years of research and a $1M investment
Originally, every electronic component had wire leads, and a PCB had holes drilled for each wire of each component. The component leads were then inserted through the holes and soldered to the copper PCB traces. This method of assembly is called through-hole construction. In 1949, Moe Abramson and Stanislaus F. Danko of the United States Army Signal Corps developed the Auto-Sembly process in which component leads were inserted into a copper foil interconnection

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMD5X4 - . An identifiable period record of the recorded location in 2022, retaining the practical detail and local context that distinguish a documentary photograph from a generic illustration. At the centre of the view is Ukraine flag, with cereals grains, highlighting farming issues, reduced export of grain and increasing food prices, such as bread and animal feeds. The wider scene also brings together patriotic symbolism, everyday life, community identity, national symbolism, historical comparison, national flag display, documentary photography, flag culture, public expression of identity, contemporary social history, visual archive, residential flag display, archival record, and civic identity. Current relevance extends to social division and political symbolism, particularly through the distinction between everyday patriotism and more contentious uses of national imagery. For later comparison, the photograph preserves building condition and alterations at the recorded location, details that may look very different after conservation work. The wider setting retains connections with English identity, period detail, local history, local character, public realm, place identity, regional identity, and changing streetscape. The recorded references to highlighting, grains, increasing, prices, and animal preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. By fixing the subject within the recorded location, the image preserves more than the headline object or building: it records part of the locality's everyday history. Another strand within the photograph is social division and the distinction between everyday patriotism and more contentious uses of national imagery as part of the longer story of the recorded location. The setting also helps illustrate community cohesion and the way familiar symbols acquire different meanings during major events when considered against later change at the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMD5X7 - . Photographed at the recorded location in 2022, this detailed documentary image records the subject within its real surroundings and preserves a specific stage in the life of the location. The subject captured here is Ukraine flag, with cereals grains, highlighting farming issues, reduced export of grain and increasing food prices, such as bread and animal feeds. The wider scene also brings together changing streetscape, archival record, everyday life, local character, social history, flag culture, changing land use, civic identity, public expression of identity, historical comparison, local history, English identity, visual archive, and St George's Cross. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with sporting events, national identity and how national flags can signal celebration, sport, identity or political sentiment depending on context. Small period details of transport arrangements and footfall at the recorded location may become more significant with time, particularly following changing commercial priorities. Further associations within the scene are documentary photography, residential flag display, regional identity, national emblem, patriotic symbolism, community identity, national flag display, and before-and-after reference. References to animal, cereals, grain, export, and grains give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. Around the recorded location, apparently routine details can become historically useful once businesses close, buildings change use or familiar features disappear. Its period value extends to sporting events and how national flags can signal celebration, sport, identity or political sentiment depending on context without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. It also preserves details of everyday use as part of the recorded location's history. The photograph keeps evidence of changing use for future local research.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMD5XA - . A grounded documentary photograph made at the recorded location in 2022, combining the immediate subject with evidence of the surrounding streetscape, public realm, business activity or local character. The defining feature is Ukraine flag, with cereals grains, highlighting farming issues, reduced export of grain and increasing food prices, such as bread and animal feeds. The locality and subject together evoke patriotic symbolism, community identity, residential flag display, local character, before-and-after reference, archival record, St George's Cross, public realm, street-level symbolism, place identity, English identity, changing land use, everyday life, and national flag display. Current relevance extends to community cohesion and cultural identity, particularly through the visibility of English identity in residential streets and public space. Future viewers can use this scene from the recorded location to compare landscape treatment and surrounding development with whatever follows after replacement signage. The photograph additionally reflects local history, public expression of identity, regional identity, social history, historical comparison, national emblem, documentary photography, and visual archive. References to issues, Ukraine, grains, grain, and animal give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. A later view of the recorded location may show a very different setting, increasing the value of this precise record of its earlier appearance and activity. Its period value extends to community cohesion and the visibility of English identity in residential streets and public space as part of the longer story of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMD5XD - . An on-location photograph from the recorded location in 2022, showing the named subject as part of a wider social, commercial, cultural or physical setting rather than as an isolated object. The subject captured here is Ukraine flag, with cereals grains, highlighting farming issues, reduced export of grain and increasing food prices, such as bread and animal feeds. The image also relates to St George's Cross, before-and-after reference, historical comparison, local history, public expression of identity, changing land use, street-level symbolism, flag culture, local character, visual archive, contemporary social history, national emblem, residential flag display, and community identity. Viewed from the mid-2020s, the subject also connects with cultural identity, political symbolism and the visibility of English identity in residential streets and public space. The image fixes public access and movement within the recorded location at one identifiable point, providing a benchmark against changing commercial priorities. The photograph additionally reflects everyday life, national flag display, place identity, period detail, patriotic symbolism, civic identity, archival record, and national symbolism. The combination of farming, bread, issues, prices, and export anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. For the recorded location, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. The wider significance includes cultural identity and the visibility of English identity in residential streets and public space as part of the longer story of the recorded location. Another strand within the photograph is sporting events and how national flags can signal celebration, sport, identity or political sentiment depending on context when considered against later change at the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMD5XF - . This dated editorial view of the recorded location in 2022 captures more than the immediate subject, retaining clues about local use, design, activity and change. The main point of reference is Ukraine flag, with cereals grains, highlighting farming issues, reduced export of grain and increasing food prices, such as bread and animal feeds. The frame also records themes of St George's Cross, contemporary social history, place identity, national flag display, public realm, public expression of identity, historical comparison, regional identity, street-level symbolism, national symbolism, period detail, patriotic symbolism, archival record, and changing streetscape. Today's relevance is strengthened by social division, patriotism and the continuing question of the visibility of English identity in residential streets and public space. Future viewers can use this scene from the recorded location to compare materials and architectural details with whatever follows after different community use. The surrounding story also includes changing land use, flag culture, community identity, local character, local history, civic identity, everyday life, and visual archive. The recorded references to highlighting, bread, increasing, grain, and feeds preserve clues about how the subject was presented, used or understood at the time. The wider setting at the recorded location matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. The image also provides a reference for social division and the way familiar symbols acquire different meanings during major events without losing the local specificity of the recorded location. Another useful connection is national identity and how national flags can signal celebration, sport, identity or political sentiment depending on context in a form that can be compared with future views of the recorded location.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JMD5XK - . This authentic period view of the recorded location in 2022 preserves the main subject alongside smaller contextual details that can acquire greater historical value as places and uses change. The principal subject is Ukraine flag, with cereals grains, highlighting farming issues, reduced export of grain and increasing food prices, such as bread and animal feeds. The frame also records themes of social history, historical comparison, local history, everyday life, national symbolism, local character, before-and-after reference, flag culture, public expression of identity, place identity, patriotic symbolism, documentary photography, residential flag display, and English identity. For current editorial use, public display and cultural identity provide additional context, especially through the distinction between everyday patriotism and more contentious uses of national imagery. For later comparison, the photograph preserves street furniture and boundaries at the recorded location, details that may look very different after refurbishment. Further associations within the scene are contemporary social history, civic identity, national flag display, street-level symbolism, changing streetscape, public realm, visual archive, and national emblem. References to reduced, feeds, issues, grains, and animal give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07A98 - Remembering the 7 million women who contributed to the war effort by working in hundreds of vital jobs
This huge, bronze monument memorialises the women of World War II. It was unveiled in 2005 and the gold lettering on it is said to mimic the font of wartime ration books.
Around the outside, you can see 17 different sculpted uniforms and helmets. These uniforms represent hundreds of vital jobs undertaken by over 7 million women during the Second World War. However, when the war ended and the men returned to their jobs, women were forced to quietly hang up their uniforms and resign
they were expected to return to their lives before the war, often in more domestic roles.
Women's contribution to both the First and Second World Wars have often been historically overlooked. Unlike men, most women were not on the front line, and instead worked on the land, they were called up to be mechanics, engineers, munitions workers and air raid wardens. Women drove buses and fire-engines.
However, there were over 640,000 women in the armed forces during World War II including the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS). Lilian Bader joined the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) and trained to be an Instrument Repairer
in fact, she was one of the first women to qualify in that post. She became a Leading Aircraftwoman at RAF Shawbury and was then promoted to Acting Corporal.
Women like Georgina Masson, pictured below, joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) which was the women's branch of the British army. Georgina, who was born in Oxford, travelled to Trinidad where she worked as a stenographer for Ford. However, she returned to Britain in 1943 to assist the war effort, and became the first black woman Officer in the ATS. Georgina can be seen holding a copy of Picture Post magazine which features her on the cover, dressed in her ATS uniform.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy GJ798K - Memorials to staff who died in the two world wars.
J. & N. Philips and Company was a business established in 1747 by members of the Philips family, and which ceased trading in 1970. Originally based in Tean, Staffordshire, England, the business was a manufacturer of textile products that expanded both by organic growth and by taking over other businesses involved in the manufacture and merchanting of textile products and smallware.
It formed a part of a network of companies operated by the family, whose business interests came to include manufacture of hats and textiles such as linen smallwares, silks and fustians, as well as cotton spinning and dealing, power loom weaving, export merchanting and general warehousing. The family was also involved in politics, with George Philips, Mark Philips and Robert Needham Philips all being Members of Parliament and all promoting the ideals of Manchesterism while in office. George's son, George Richard Philips, was also a member of the House of Commons.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DC7P - National Dried Milk was a roller-dried powdered, full-cream milk fortified with vitamin D. It was intended for feeding to children at a time of milk rationing. It was also convenient for mothers. It freed them up from breast-feeding at a time when women had to go man the factories for the war effort. At first, it was available only to children under 1 year of age
later 2 years.
The National Dried Milk scheme had been announced by the fall of 1940
by then, physicians were debating how it should best be served to infants and whether full-cream was indeed the best for them.
The storage and distribution of National Dried Milk across the country was contracted out to a company called SPD. You needed ration coupons to purchase it with, and could only get it at chemists (i.e. pharmacies.) There was a proviso, though, which housewives learned to watch for: once the tin at the store was past the Not for consumption after... date, it could be sold to anyone, off-ration, providing a windfall bonanza to the lucky shopper.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy EC2T20 - Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red was a work of installation art placed in the moat of the Tower of London, England, between July and November 2014, commemorating the centenary of the outbreak of World War I.
It consisted of 888,246 ceramic red poppies, each intended to represent one British or Colonial serviceman killed in the War. The artist was Paul Cummins, with setting by stage designer Tom Piper. The work's title was taken from the first line of a poem by an unknown World War I soldier.
The installation was visited by the Princes William and Harry and the Duchess of Cambridge on the day of its opening, and by the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh on 16 October. It is estimated that five million people saw the memorial, and the huge visitor demand saw Prime Minister David Cameron and other politicians join calls to try and extend the period for which the installation remained at the Tower so that more visitors would be able to pay their respects.
Tower officials resisted such calls, stating that the transience of the installation was a key part of the artistic concept, and that the poppies would be removed as planned and distributed to their purchasers. On 8 November it was announced that the Wave segment “ a steel construction with poppies around the Tower entrance “ would remain in place until the end of the month, and that the Wave and the Weeping Window segments (both made by the Theatre Royal, Plymouth) would be taken on a tour of the UK lasting until 2018, and would then go on permanent display at the Imperial War Museums in London and Manchester.

Inscriptions, floral tributes, flags, stonework, surrounding streets and temporary commemorative displays can provide important documentary detail for historical and news use. A dated image of a memorial is especially valuable because ceremonies, wreaths, signage and the surrounding public realm change from year to year. Search themes include remembrance, cenotaphs, war memorials, poppies, veterans, civic ceremony, military history, Armistice and public commemoration. Temporary wreaths, poppies and ceremonial displays can make one year's view materially different from another, increasing the archive value of the photograph. The combination of a named subject, precise location and capture date gives the image particular value to editors who need a real, identifiable place rather than a generic illustrative photograph. It can be used in newspapers, magazines, books, websites, documentaries, heritage projects and retrospective features where geographical accuracy and period detail matter.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DRH8BA - St Luke's Church, Liverpool, is a former Anglican parish church, which is now a ruin. It stands on the corner of Berry Street and Leece Street, looking down the length of Bold Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England.
The church was built between 1811 and 1832, and was designed by John Foster, senior and John Foster, junior, father and son who were successive surveyors for the municipal Corporation of Liverpool. In addition to being a parish church, it was also intended to be used as a venue for ceremonial worship by the Corporation, and as a concert hall. It was badly damaged during the Liverpool Blitz in 1941, and remains as a roofless shell. It now stands as a memorial to those who were lost in the war, and is also a venue for exhibitions and events. The church, and the surrounding walls, gates and railings are protected as Grade II* listed buildings.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DA62AF - . World War 1 Shell dressings bag, with a red cross on a white background. Photographed on 16 June 2013. The recorded location is England, Great Britain , UK. From a heritage perspective, religious symbols often move beyond formal places of worship into clothing, body art, memorials and popular culture
Their meaning depends on context, but a cross remains strongly associated with Christian belief and the visual history of Western religion. As background, medical and wellbeing scenes document how healthcare is delivered and understood
Clinical tools, health clubs, food advice and regulated behaviours all reflect evolving ideas about prevention, risk and personal responsibility. In historical terms, military artefacts and memorials connect large-scale conflict with individual experience
Equipment, field medical supplies, regimental inscriptions and personal names can reveal how war was organised, remembered and interpreted long after combat ended. As of 2026, religious symbolism continues to appear in highly personal forms such as tattoos as well as churches, memorials and jewellery
Such imagery can therefore illustrate the overlap between faith, identity, body art and individual expression. Against the 2026 backdrop, prevention remains a major theme in UK health policy, covering smoking reduction, physical activity, healthy diet and earlier intervention
Images of older health practices can help illustrate how advice, regulation and expectations have shifted. As background, the cross is Christianity's most recognisable symbol, referring to the crucifixion of Jesus while also carrying wider meanings of faith, sacrifice, remembrance and identity
When used in jewellery, tattoos or public art it can be devotional, cultural, commemorative or personal rather than simply decorative. Useful alternative terminology includes Christian symbol, religious identity, crucifixion symbolism, personal belief, body art symbolism, sacred symbol, and Christian heritage.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BPCNHH - .

The photograph centres on Beers,Real Ales,ELR,East Lancs Railway, East Lancashire Railway Bury station, greater Manchester,England,UK. Beyond the immediate subject, the image contains elements of station environment, rail corridor, rail modernisation, passenger connectivity, railway branding, mass transit, everyday Britain, documentary photography, period detail, historical comparison, visual archive, passenger railway, rail mobility, and public transport network. For contemporary context, decarbonisation and rail reform are closely related themes, especially where the issue becomes preserving railway heritage while modernising the network. The archival value lies partly in recording equipment and working practice around 23A Bolton St, Bury,Greater Manchester,North West England,UK, BL9 0EY before changed technology alters the character of the place. The setting also brings in rail transport, transport interchange, place identity, public realm, social landscape, local history, regional identity, and regional rail. The recorded references to station, Railway, Lancashire, Manchester, and Lancs preserve clues that can help identify how the subject was presented or used at the time. The surrounding context at 23A Bolton St, Bury,Greater Manchester,North West England,UK, BL9 0EY matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. Another useful connection is decarbonisation and making passenger rail simpler and more dependable when considered against later change at 23A Bolton St, Bury,Greater Manchester,North West England,UK, BL9 0EY. The frame therefore remains a dated reference for 23A Bolton St, Bury,Greater Manchester,North West England,UK, BL9 0EY and the changing story of the subject shown.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R8T9GF - The Daily Sketch was a British national tabloid newspaper, founded in Manchester in 1909 by Sir Edward Hulton, 1st Baronet.
In 1920, Lord Rothermere's Daily Mirror Newspapers bought the Daily Sketch. In 1925 Rothermere, sold it to William and Gomer Berry (later Viscount Camrose and Viscount Kemsley).
It was owned by a subsidiary of the Berrys' Allied Newspapers from 1928 (renamed Kemsley Newspapers in 1937 when Camrose withdrew to concentrate his efforts on The Daily Telegraph). In 1946, it was merged with the Daily Graphic. In 1952, Kemsley decided to sell the paper to Associated Newspapers, the owner of the Daily Mail, who promptly revived the Daily Sketch name in 1953. The paper struggled through the 1950s and 1960s, never managing to compete successfully with the Daily Mirror, and in 1971 it was closed and merged with the Daily Mail.
In 1954, an infamous cartoon titled Family Portrait? was published in the paper which mocked Billy Strachan, a black British civil rights leader, for his anti-colonial and anti-imperialist beliefs. The cartoon depicted him with devil horns representing the Caribbean Labour Congress. He also posed with Hewlett Johnson and Paul Robeson, all of whom stood underneath a portrait of the then recently deceased Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
The Sketch was Conservative in its politics and populist in its tone during its existence through all its changes of ownership. In some ways, much of the more populist element of today's Daily Mail was inherited from the Sketch: before the merger, the more serious Mail, previously a broadsheet, also espoused right-wing politics. The Sketch notably launched a moral panic over Daniel Farson's 1960 television documentary Living for Kicks, a portrait of British teenage life at the time, which led to a war of words between the Sketch and the Daily Mirror. It also participated in the press campaign against the screening of the BBC film The War Game

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K244FJ - . Recorded at the recorded location in 2022, the image fixes a recognisable subject and its environment at one point in time, giving later viewers a reliable basis for comparison. The main point of reference is Daily News & Reader, Great Britain at war with Germany, old newspaper headline, Reported sinking of British ship, 05/08/1914. The surrounding context encompasses before-and-after reference, adaptive reuse, regional identity, place-making, commercial redevelopment, archival record, public-realm investment, community identity, visual archive, mixed-use redevelopment, urban fabric, social history, historic townscape, and period detail. Today's relevance is strengthened by heritage conservation, town-centre regeneration and the continuing question of how regeneration tries to create reasons to visit traditional town centres. The archival value lies partly in recording equipment and working practice around the recorded location before altered transport patterns alters the character of the place. Further associations within the scene are documentary photography, built heritage, changing land use, local character, changing streetscape, place identity, period architecture, and local history. The combination of Reader, newspaper, sinking, headline, and Germany anchors the frame to a recognisable activity, place or moment. For the recorded location, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. The location additionally provides evidence of heritage conservation and how regeneration tries to create reasons to visit traditional town centres within the real-world context of the recorded location. A further contemporary connection is town-centre regeneration and the tension between preserving local character and creating modern commercial space within the specific setting of the recorded location.
