Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FBX5NE - . Outside Manchester Airport Terminal 2, a large payment reminder is mounted directly on the modern terminal frontage, visually linking airport architecture with the increasingly commercial process of vehicle access. Drivers using the barrierless drop-off area are required to pay after their visit by midnight the following day, with registration numbers captured automatically rather than a ticket being issued at a gate. The arrangement keeps the terminal forecourt free of payment barriers and can speed traffic flow, but it depends on clear signage and on motorists remembering to complete a separate online or telephone transaction. In 2026 the airport's official Terminal 2 drop-off tariff is charged according to length of stay, with penalties possible for non-payment or overstaying. APCOA manages the system for Manchester Airport. This wider exterior composition is useful because it shows the notice in its physical context: a major international terminal where passenger convenience, security, road capacity and revenue management all compete for limited forecourt space. Manchester's £1.3bn transformation has made Terminal 2 the principal passenger building, so access arrangements around it affect millions of journeys each year. The image can illustrate airport charges, ANPR, parking enforcement, holiday costs, road access, digital payment and the design of modern terminal approaches. It also provides an exact period record of signage and customer instructions, details likely to change as tariffs, payment technology and traffic policy evolve. As documentary imagery, the photograph supports a wider vocabulary of place, people, economy, infrastructure, design, public realm, heritage, travel, work and everyday life. It offers a natural visual reference for editorial features that need authentic context rather than a generic illustration or studio recreation. It is suitable for editorial, archive and local-history use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FBX5NG - . A close, front-on view of Manchester Airport's 'Remember to pay by midnight tomorrow' notice explains the barrierless system used for terminal drop-off and pick-up charges. The sign directs motorists towards online or telephone payment after the vehicle has already passed through the controlled area, replacing the traditional sequence of taking a ticket and paying at a barrier. Automatic number plate recognition links each visit to a registration number, allowing the airport's parking contractor to identify unpaid stays. The deadline matters because a missed payment can trigger a much larger parking charge, turning a brief passenger drop-off into an expensive mistake. In 2026 Manchester Airport publishes time-based tariffs for Terminal 2 drop-off, while a free remote drop-off area remains available for travellers willing to use a shuttle bus. The image therefore illustrates more than parking: it reflects the wider shift towards cashless transport infrastructure, post-use billing, ANPR enforcement and smartphone-dependent customer journeys. Such systems can reduce queues and maintenance but also attract criticism when signage, payment windows or digital access are misunderstood. The photograph is useful for consumer-affairs, motoring, aviation and travel-cost stories, particularly around hidden holiday expenses and the cumulative price of reaching an airport. It also records the visual language of contemporary parking enforcement, where large instructions, warning colours, web payment and penalty risk are communicated before drivers leave the site. The composition has additional value as a time-specific record of the 2020s, when branding, technology, pricing, public expectations and physical environments are changing quickly. Future viewers can use details visible here to compare later alterations, closures, replacement systems, redevelopment or shifts in public behaviour.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FBX5RP - . The 'Welcome to Terminal 2' entrance at Manchester Airport marks the main gateway into a facility transformed by one of the largest airport investment programmes undertaken in the UK outside London. Manchester Airport's £1.3bn, ten-year transformation substantially enlarged and refurbished Terminal 2, introducing new check-in, security, baggage, retail and passenger areas. By late 2025 airlines had completed their moves into the new terminal and by 2026 around three quarters of airport passengers were using it, while Terminal 1 closed after more than six decades of service. The exterior sign therefore represents a structural change in how the airport operates, not simply a rebranding exercise. Terminal architecture has to perform several roles at once: provide intuitive wayfinding, process large passenger volumes, accommodate security requirements and create a strong first impression for regional and international visitors. The photograph can support editorial coverage of airport investment, infrastructure, tourism, regional connectivity, passenger growth and the changing geography of air travel in northern England. It is also relevant to debates about aviation capacity and emissions because improved terminals are designed partly to support long-term demand growth. The visible entrance canopy, glazing, signage and passenger movement make the image suitable for architecture and transport features as well as travel news. For future local-history comparison, it records the completed 2020s appearance of Terminal 2 at the point it became Manchester Airport's principal passenger building and the symbolic replacement for much of the older terminal estate. For search and archive use, closely related concepts include local history, contemporary Britain or Europe, documentary photography, changing public space, economic and social change, infrastructure, community identity and the relationship between heritage and modern everyday life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3F078NF - 05 Jul 2026, this editorial motorsport image shows the large LN Lando Norris logo sculpture outside the Landostand26 area at Silverstone Circuit during the Formula One British Grand Prix weekend. The display features oversized metallic silver initials mounted on a black plinth, with distinctive fluorescent yellow Landostand branding and a patterned surround matching the wider Lando Norris fan area. Behind the installation, spectators in yellow and papaya-themed clothing sit and move around the busy grandstand zone, with the Silverstone circuit environment, fencing, open sky, white clouds and bright summer light visible around the scene.
The image captures the growth of driver-led fan culture at modern Formula 1 events. Rather than showing racing action, it records the branding, spectacle and crowd experience around one of the most recognisable British driver supporter areas at Silverstone. The LN logo creates a clear visual landmark and photo opportunity for fans, while the Landostand26 graphics link the scene to Lando Norris, McLaren support and the highly visible colour identity of his fanbase. The bright weather, packed seating and event infrastructure give the picture a strong sense of British Grand Prix atmosphere before or around the race-day action.
This image is suitable for editorial use around Lando Norris, McLaren supporters, Formula 1 fan engagement, British Grand Prix crowds, Silverstone spectator culture, sports branding, branded fan zones, driver merchandising, motorsport tourism, summer sporting events, premium grandstand experiences and the increasing entertainment focus of Grand Prix weekends. It also works for broader stories about Formula One's changing audience, home driver support at the British GP, the commercialisation of elite sport, social media-ready event installations and the way major venues create dedicated spaces for highly engaged fan communities. The visible Landostand26 design, the giant LN initials and the yellow crowd styling.

The recorded location is Silverstone Circuit, Towcester, Northamptonshire NN12 8TN, England, UK. The event scene shows motorsport visitors near a branded attraction area beneath a bright summer sky, combining technology promotion with the festival atmosphere of a major race weekend. AWS is a prominent technology partner in Formula One and uses motorsport events to demonstrate cloud computing, data and artificial intelligence applications. Silverstone Circuit occupies a former Second World War RAF airfield and hosted the first Formula One World Championship race in 1950. It remains the home of the British Grand Prix and one of the UK's most important motorsport venues, combining historic track heritage with continually upgraded spectator, hospitality and safety infrastructure. For cloud computing, the historical context is that digital technology moved from specialist computing into everyday business infrastructure as cloud services replaced many locally managed systems
Large technology companies increasingly market computing power and software through event sponsorship and public branding. Looking at trackside, the longer history is that motor racing venues combine sport with engineering, hospitality and large-scale event management
Circuit buildings, grandstands and temporary branding can change rapidly as safety standards, sponsorship and commercial expectations evolve. For cloud computing, the 2026 context is that artificial intelligence remains one of the fastest-moving areas of business investment, alongside debate about copyright, energy use, employment, safety and regulation. In 2026, trackside remains relevant because modern motorsport is also shaped by sustainability, hybrid technology, sponsorship and digital fan engagement, making trackside commercial development part of the wider business of racing.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EPRNGA - Dundee Low Emission Zone entry sign stands on Gellatly Street at the edge of the city centre, with a camera symbol warning motorists that vehicle number plates may be checked. The white roadside sign carries the green LEZ roundel, the words Low Emission Zone and the notice Exemptions apply . Scaffolding and the stone frontage of a city building form the urban background, placing the traffic-control measure within Dundee's central streets.
Dundee's Low Emission Zone was introduced in 2022 and enforcement began on 30 May 2024 after a two-year grace period. The controlled area covers the city centre inside the A991 Inner Ring Road, with Gellatly Street included within the zone. Vehicles entering must meet the prescribed emissions standards or qualify for an exemption. The minimum standards are Euro 4 for petrol cars and vans, Euro 6 for diesel cars and vans, and Euro VI for buses, coaches and heavy goods vehicles. Motorcycles and mopeds are outside the Dundee scheme.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras are used to read registrations and compare vehicles with licensing and exemption records. A non-compliant moving vehicle detected inside the zone may generate a Penalty Charge Notice for its registered keeper. Scotland's LEZ system is not a daily charging scheme, so drivers cannot pay in advance to enter with a non-compliant vehicle.
National exemptions cover certain specialist and emergency vehicles, while eligible Blue Badge holders can register a vehicle for a long-term or one-day exemption. Dundee City Council may also consider limited local exemptions for defined circumstances. The scheme is intended to reduce harmful nitrogen dioxide and particulate pollution, improve public health and encourage cleaner transport. This image can illustrate urban air quality, environmental regulation, traffic enforcement, ANPR surveillance, vehicle emissions, sustainable travel, motoring restrictions, city-centre access and Scottish transport policy

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E302HP - . Pedestrian Zone Walk Your Wheels pavement marking in London. Photographed on 24 August 2025. The recorded location is London, England, UK. Pedestrian Zone Walk Your Wheels pavement marking in London, showing a simple public-realm instruction aimed at people using bicycles or similar wheeled transport. The bold white symbol and wording provide a clear editorial image for pedestrian safety, cycling rules, shared spaces, street management, active travel and conflicts between walkers and wheeled users in busy urban areas. It can support features on local authority transport policy, pedestrianisation, pavement cycling, e-scooters, accessibility, city-centre public realm and the practical signage used to manage increasingly mixed forms of urban mobility. The background to street furniture is that temporary and permanent notices are valuable social-past evidence because they capture the rules and assumptions of a particular moment, from parking and access to opening times, safety and public-service instructions. Within the history of mobility, care and accessibility services developed alongside longer life expectancy, disability rights and the growth of community healthcare
Mobility retailers, care homes and public defibrillators are visible elements of a wider support infrastructure. In relation to urban mobility, historical context shows that urban buses and local transport connect residential areas with town centres, employment, hospitals and stations
Their routes offer a practical map of how communities function and how transport policy changes over time. Current 2026 context around street furniture is that digital maps and smartphone navigation are ubiquitous, but physical signage remains essential for safety, accessibility, legal restrictions and visitors without reliable connectivity. Against the 2026 backdrop for mobility, community defibrillators and mobility services also illustrate the growing expectation that public places should support.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RXHHBR - . The Sheffield city CAZ Clean Air Zone - in words, Scrabble letters on a map. Photographed on 22 September 2023. The recorded location is Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK, S1 1AA. A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) is an area in the United Kingdom where targeted action is taken to improve air quality. A CAZ can be non-charging or charging. Whether a vehicle is charged when entering or moving through a CAZ depends on the type of vehicle and the Euro standard of the vehicle. The amount charged is up to the local authority responsible for the CAZ. Ultra-low-emission vehicles are not charged when entering or moving through a Clean Air Zone. The historical setting for emissions policy is that urban air-quality controls developed from earlier smoke-control legislation towards vehicle-emission policies aimed at nitrogen dioxide and particulate pollution
Clean Air Zones use road signs, vehicle standards and charging systems rather than physical barriers. Seen through NHS, the earlier context is that healthcare imagery can document both institutions and public-health messaging
Vaccination posters, diagnostic equipment and emergency vehicles show how prevention, treatment and communication operate alongside one another. For demonstration, the historical context is that political photographs gain meaning over time as candidates, parties and constitutional debates change
A routine campaign scene can later become evidence of a turning point, an unsuccessful candidacy or a movement that developed further. In the 2026 discussion of emissions policy, clean-air policy remains politically sensitive because authorities must balance health benefits, vehicle costs and public acceptance
Greater Manchester's proposed charging Clean Air Zone was not introduced as originally planned, making earlier signs particularly useful evidence of a policy approach that changed. The wider story encompasses district, congestion charge, Tory, Conservative, council, and politics.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RXHHC8 - . Bristol and Bath cities, CAZ Clean Air Zone - in words, Scrabble letters on a map. Photographed on 22 September 2023. The recorded location is Bristol and Bath, Avon, England, UK. A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) is an area in the United Kingdom where targeted action is taken to improve air quality. A CAZ can be non-charging or charging. Whether a vehicle is charged when entering or moving through a CAZ depends on the type of vehicle and the Euro standard of the vehicle. The amount charged is up to the local authority responsible for the CAZ. Ultra-low-emission vehicles are not charged when entering or moving through a Clean Air Zone. For the story of traffic regulation, it is useful to note that road transport became a major focus of air-quality policy as diesel emissions and urban pollution gained attention
Zone signage is therefore part of a broader history linking public health with traffic regulation. The historical setting for emergency medicine is that the National Health Service, founded in 1948, created a universal healthcare system whose hospitals, ambulances, clinics and public-information campaigns became familiar features of British life
Medical technology has continually changed the appearance of those services. Seen through protest, the earlier context is that public campaigning forms part of democratic culture, documenting how people express support, opposition and identity outside formal institutions
Temporary signs and banners are especially useful historical evidence because they often disappear immediately after an election or referendum. For present-day traffic regulation, 2026 is significant because air quality remains a significant public-health issue even where charging-zone proposals have been revised or replaced by other measures. In the 2026 discussion of emergency medicine, the NHS continues to be under sustained pressure from waiting lists, workforce shortages, ageing buildings and demand for diagnostics

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RXHHCA - Clean Air Zone
Birmingham introduced a Clean Air Zone on 1 June 2021, which charges polluting vehicles to travel into the city centre (all roads within the A4540 ring road). Poor air quality kills around 900 people a year in Birmingham and the government has ordered the city to reduce pollution. The daily charge is £8 for petrol cars built before 2006 and diesel cars built before 2015, and £50 for lorries and coaches. The money is used to improve public transport. The plan was backed by the British Heart Foundation, which said In order to protect everyone living in Birmingham, it is vital that bold action is taken on air quality. A Clean Air Zone in the city will be a crucial step forward, as this is the most cost-effective way to tackle polluted air and minimise the damaging effect that it has on people's heart health.
In the following month after the introduction of the charge, the number of the most polluting vehicles entering the zone each day dropped from 18,787 to just over 11,000, and compliance rose from 73.8% to 80.4%. Nitrogen dioxide levels fell by 13% in the first six months of the scheme.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RXHHCG - Bradford Clean Air Zone is a road traffic low-emission programme in the City of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England. Plans were advanced for many cities in England to have Clean Air Zones (CAZ), but of the ones put forward in Yorkshire, only Bradford's CAZ has been taken to an operational stage. The scheme commenced on 26 September 2022, and all vehicles, barring private cars and motorbikes, must be compliant with the scheme or face a charge for entering into the zone. The programme aims to help the district comply with legal limits for air quality.
The UK Government has set out the definitions of four schemes (labelled as A, B, C, and D. Bradford opted for a C-scheme (meaning it is referred to as a C-CAZ), which would see charges for all vehicles except for private cars and motorbikes. ANPR cameras have been installed around the city centre, and along the Shipley/Bradford corridor, to monitor vehicles entering the zone. At the launch in September 2022, drivers of buses and HGVs which did not conform to the approved ratings would be fined £50, vans and minibuses £9, and taxis £7. For each fine doled out, the UK Government would be paid £2. The charging time is to be classified as a day from midnight to midnight, not 24 hours from when a vehicle enters the zone. However, vehicles can leave and re-enter the zone several times between the midnight to midnight period, and only be charged once

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RWMER2 - Mile End is a London Underground station in Mile End, London. It is served by the Hammersmith & City, District and Central lines. This station features a cross-platform interchange in both directions
District and Hammersmith & City lines stop on the inside tracks, and the Central line stops on the outside tracks. It is in Travelcard Zone 2.
The station was opened on 2 June 1902 by the Whitechapel & Bow Railway (W&BR). Electrified services started in 1905. The first services were provided by the District Railway (now the District line)
the Metropolitan line followed in 1936 (In 1988 this section of the Metropolitan was renamed the Hammersmith & City line). In 1946 the station was expanded and rebuilt by the Chief Architect of London Underground, Stanley Heaps and his assistant Thomas Bilbow, as part of the Central line eastern extension, with services starting on 4 December 1946. Following nationalisation of the joint venture owners of the W&BR, full ownership of the station passed to London Underground in 1950
The station has undergone renovation in 2007. Metronet, a company in a publicprivate partnership with Transport for London (TfL), got as far as stripping the station bare before the company collapsed in 2008. After a short changeover period, TfL continued the renovation work

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K6HJFR - Gloucester Services are a pair of Motorway Service Areas (MSA) serving the northbound and southbound carriageways of the M5 between Junction 11A and Junction 12, near Whaddon, Gloucester. It specialises in selling artisanal food, and does not offer outlets for popular chain food brands.
Construction of the northbound services began in early 2013, and they officially opened on 7 May 2014. Construction of the southbound services commenced in March 2014 and they opened on 19 May 2015
In September 2009, the independent motorway services operator Westmorland Motorway Services Ltd, jointly with a local charitable trust, Gloucestershire Gateway Trust, submitted plans for a service area at Matson for public consultation. The plans were for a business operated in a similar manner to Tebay Services on the M6 in Cumbria, with much of the food and produce on sale being sourced from local suppliers
The operator promised not to host chain coffee shops, fast-food outlets, or video and gambling machines
The service area supports the Gloucestershire Gateway Trust in assisting the business to provide good jobs for more deprived areas of Gloucester, and to support local social regeneration schemes.
The 2019 Motorway Services User Survey found that Gloucester's southbound side was in the top five motorway services in the UK for customer satisfaction
The District Council was informed at the end of February 2011 that Roadchef and Welcome Break (the operators of Strensham and Michaelwood service stations) had applied to the High Court for a judicial review of the Council's decision to grant planning permission. Joined in the action were CAMSA and the Parish Councils of Brookthorpe-with-Whaddon and Harescombe. The case was heard in the High Court in Birmingham on 17 and 18 January 2012. By 8 February 2012, the High Court had dismissed all challenges to the planning application
One of the factors that helped the development gain planning permission was the inclusion of a green roof

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JY56JX - Leeds is a city in West Yorkshire, England. It is governed by a metropolitan borough named after the city, the wider county having devolved powers. It is built around the River Aire and is in the eastern foothills of the Pennines.
The city was a small manorial borough in the 13th century and a market town in the 16th century. It expanded by becoming a major production centre, including of carbonated water where it was invented in the 1760s, and trading centre (mainly with wool) for the 17th and 18th centuries. It was a major mill town during the Industrial Revolution. It was also known for its flax industry, iron foundries, engineering and printing, as well as shopping, with several surviving Victorian era arcades, such as Kirkgate Market. City status was awarded in 1893, and a populous urban centre formed in the following century which absorbed surrounding villages and overtook the population of nearby York.
Leeds is about halfway between London and Edinburgh and has multiple motorway links
the M1, M62 and A1(M). The city's railway station is, alongside Manchester Piccadilly, the busiest of its kind in Northern England. It is the county's largest settlement with a population of 516,298, while the larger City of Leeds district has a population of 812,000 (2021 estimate). The city is part of the West Yorkshire Built-up Area, which, with a population of 1.7 million, is the fourth-largest built-up area by population in the United Kingdom

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JKCBD9 - The London congestion charge is a fee charged on most cars and motor vehicles being driven within the Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ) in Central London between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, and between 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm Saturday and Sunday.
Inspired by Singapore's Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system after London officials had travelled to the country, the charge was first introduced on 17 February 2003.[5] The London charge zone is one of the largest congestion charge zones in the world, despite the removal of the Western Extension which operated between February 2007 and January 2011. The charge not only helps to reduce high traffic flow in the city streets, but also reduces air and noise pollution in the central London area and raises investment funds for London's transport system.
The standard charge is £15, every day from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, for each non-exempt vehicle driven within the zone, with a penalty of between £65 and £195 levied for non-payment.The congestion charge does not operate on Christmas Day (25 December). In July 2013 the Ultra Low Emission Discount (ULED) introduced more stringent emission standards that limit the free access to the congestion charge zone to all-electric cars, some plug-in hybrids, and any vehicle that emits 75 g/km or less of CO2 and meets the Euro 5 standards for air quality. On 8 April 2019, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was introduced, which applies 24/7 to vehicles which do not meet the emissions standards:[9] Euro 4 standards for petrol vehicles, and Euro 6 or VI for diesel and large vehicles. In October 2021, the ULEZ was expanded to cover the Inner London area within the North and South Circular Roads. The ULEZ replaced the T-charge (toxicity charge) which applied to vehicles below Euro 4 standard. Since 2021 the congestion charge exemption has applied only to pure electric vehicles and from 2025 there will be no discounts for electric vehicles.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K16AT8 - King's Cross St Pancras (also known as King's Cross & St Pancras International) is a London Underground station on Euston Road in the Borough of Camden, Central London. It serves King's Cross and St Pancras main line stations in fare zone 1, and is an interchange between six Underground lines. The station was one of the first to open on the network. As of 2021, it is the most used station on the network for passenger entrances and exits combined.
The station opened in 1863 as part of the Metropolitan Railway, subsequently catering for the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines. It was expanded in 1868 with the opening of the City Widened Lines, and the Northern and Piccadilly platforms opened in the early 20th century. During the 1930s and 1940s, the station was restructured and partially rebuilt to cater for expanded traffic. The Victoria line connection opened in 1968. The 1987 King's Cross fire that killed 31 people is one of the deadliest accidents to occur on the Underground and resulted in widespread safety improvements and changes throughout the network. The station was extensively rebuilt in the early 21st century to cater for Eurostar services that moved from Waterloo to St Pancras, reopening in 2007.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K16AT9 - King's Cross St Pancras (also known as King's Cross & St Pancras International) is a London Underground station on Euston Road in the Borough of Camden, Central London. It serves King's Cross and St Pancras main line stations in fare zone 1, and is an interchange between six Underground lines. The station was one of the first to open on the network. As of 2021, it is the most used station on the network for passenger entrances and exits combined.
The station opened in 1863 as part of the Metropolitan Railway, subsequently catering for the Hammersmith & City and Circle lines. It was expanded in 1868 with the opening of the City Widened Lines, and the Northern and Piccadilly platforms opened in the early 20th century. During the 1930s and 1940s, the station was restructured and partially rebuilt to cater for expanded traffic. The Victoria line connection opened in 1968. The 1987 King's Cross fire that killed 31 people is one of the deadliest accidents to occur on the Underground and resulted in widespread safety improvements and changes throughout the network. The station was extensively rebuilt in the early 21st century to cater for Eurostar services that moved from Waterloo to St Pancras, reopening in 2007.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JH297F - Cleaning up our air in Manchester - https://cleanairgm.com/clean-air-plan
In March 2020, the government issued a legal direction requiring the 10 Greater Manchester local authorities to address the vehicle pollution problem. Plans were drawn up for one of the biggest charging zones in Europe, covering an area of around 493 square miles, to come into force on 30 May 2022.
Like many areas across the country, we have illegal levels of air pollution on local roads in Greater Manchester (GM). Poor air quality affects everyone's health, particularly the most vulnerable people in society: deprived communities, children, elderly people and those with chronic conditions like asthma, heart disease, stroke and some cancers
Original Andy Burnham GM Clean Air Plan included a Greater Manchester-wide category C charging Clean Air Zone. Only the most polluting vehicles which don't meet emission standards would have been charged to drive in the Zone
The Clean Air Zone was designed to comply with a legal direction from government issued before the coronavirus pandemic. Since then there have been significant vehicle supply chain issues, particularly for vans, and the cost of living has increased.
This means that the original Clean Air Plan was unworkable
Cities with clean air zones
Bath has a Class C clean air zone.
Birmingham has a Class D clean air zone.
Portsmouth has a Class B clean air zone.
Future clean air zones
Bradford will start charging on 26 September 2022.
Bristol will start charging in late 2022.
Greater Manchester (under review).
Tyneside (Newcastle and Gateshead) will start charging in winter: late 2022 to early 2023.
More cities will implement clean air zones in 2022.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy P8HWF7 - . Mercedes F1 car Simulator, British GP, Silverstone Circuit, Towcester, Northamptonshire, England, UK, NN12 8TL. Photographed on 8 July 2018. The recorded location is Silverstone Circuit, Towcester NN12 8TL. Activities in the Silverstone fanzone area. From a heritage perspective, cars and garage equipment are part of twentieth-century material culture
Imported American models, British registrations, oil-company branding and automated car washes each represent different aspects of the expanding motoring economy. Historically, sporting images document not only competition but venues, equipment, supporters and the commercial culture surrounding games
Stadiums, tickets and memorabilia can quickly become historical as clubs rebuild grounds, sponsors change and technology alters the spectator experience. As background, everyday technology provides a compact history of design and changing behaviour
Rotary dials, thermionic valves, mechanical keypads, film cameras and early televisions were once ordinary equipment but now illustrate obsolete standards, manufacturing methods and patterns of work or communication. As of 2026, the motor industry is undergoing another major transition as electric vehicles gain market share and charging infrastructure expands
Images of petrol pumps, classic cars and older service stations provide a direct visual contrast with the emerging electric-mobility landscape. In 2026, sport combines global media reach with intense local identity
Older grounds, tickets and equipment therefore work well for stories about fan culture, commercialisation, sporting heritage and the changing match-day experience. Against the 2026 backdrop, the motor industry is undergoing another major transition as electric vehicles gain market share and charging infrastructure expands
Images of petrol pumps, classic cars and older service stations provide a direct visual contrast with the emerging electric-mobility landscape.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H366F4 - An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone, as an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), or by several other names, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human operator, or fully or intermittently autonomously, by onboard computers.
Here, an owner flies a medium sized drone over the river Mersey, close to Runcorn, Widnes, Fiddlers Ferry and the new toll crossing, which is under construction.
Civilian drones now vastly outnumber military drones, with estimates of over a million sold by 2015.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H3F0D4 - . Tower Bridge Night repairs and opening traffic jam, over the Thames, London, England, with traditional black taxi cab. Photographed on 1 October 2016. The recorded location is Tower Bridge, Tower Bridge Road,London, England SE1 2UP. The City of London Corporation is planning major essential maintenance works to Tower Bridge from Saturday 1 October to Friday 30 December 2016. As background, architecture records the priorities of the period in which a building was designed: materials, ornament, scale and planning can reveal changing technologies, social status and commercial use
Later alterations and changes of tenant add further layers, so a single façade can embody several phases of local history. The wider historical story is that britain's road landscape has accumulated layers of transport history: old milestones and cast signs coexist with speed limits, parking controls, motorway infrastructure and electronic traffic management
Such details reveal how movement and road safety have been regulated over time. In the longer view, 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. Against the 2026 backdrop, 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. In the present 2026 context, congestion, road safety and decarbonisation remain prominent transport issues
Historic signs, traffic jams and older road infrastructure therefore work both as location records and as evidence of how the road network and travel behaviour have changed.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy H552FP - Southwark Cathedral or The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie, Southwark, London, lies on the south bank of the River Thames close to London Bridge. It is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Southwark. It has been a place of Christian worship for more than 1,000 years, but a cathedral only since the creation of the diocese of Southwark in 1905.
Between 1106 and 1538 it was the church of an Augustinian priory, Southwark Priory, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Following the dissolution of the monasteries, it became a parish church, with the new dedication of St Saviour's. The church was in the diocese of Winchester until 1877, when the parish of St Saviour's, along with other South London parishes, was transferred to the diocese of Rochester. The present building retains the basic form of the Gothic structure built between 1220 and 1420, although the nave is a late 19th-century reconstruction.
There is a large stained glass window dedicated to William Shakespeare, depicting scenes from his plays, at the base of which is an alabaster statue representing the playwright reclining, holding a quill.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DAPGXM - View of the ornate royal blue and gold entrance gates at Everton Football Club's Goodison Park stadium on Goodison Road in Walton, Liverpool. The metalwork displays the club initials EFC, the foundation year 1878 and Everton's Latin motto, Nil Satis Nisi Optimum , meaning nothing but the best is good enough. Seen beneath a cloudy sky, the gates form one of the most recognisable exterior features of the historic Merseyside football ground and reflect the club's traditional colours, identity and long association with the surrounding community.
The image has added contemporary political relevance following Andy Burnham becoming the Labour Prime Minister in July 2026. Burnham is a lifelong Everton supporter and season-ticket holder whose attachment to the club has frequently formed part of his public identity. His elevation to Downing Street links one of Britain's most prominent political offices with Everton's fan culture and provides an editorial illustration for stories about politicians' sporting loyalties, football and politics, regional identity, supporter representation and the relationship between public figures and their clubs.
Goodison Park opened in 1892 and was Everton men's home for more than 130 years, earning the nickname the Grand Old Lady. The men's first team moved to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock after the 202425 season. Goodison subsequently became the home ground of Everton Women, allowing the historic stadium and its famous entrance to remain part of active professional football. The gates therefore represent both Everton's heritage and the changing use of a landmark ground closely associated with generations of supporters in Liverpool and beyond.
