  1. A lorry lowers chippings on to a road while workman sit on the back of the vehicle. The scene - a rural road with sweeping bend and green fields on either side - is pictured from above. The lorry has a white cab, in the foreground, and the trailer behind is hydraulic and tilted to about 25 degrees to allow the grey coloured contents to pour into other heavy equipment behind.

  2. A Google Streetview showing the tide out at Duddon Estuary. There is a boat on a grassy area of dry land. Beyond that is a huge stretch of sand with a line of water - akin to a meandering stream - but the tide is a long way out of shot to the left. Beyond the wide estuary, in the background, hills gradually rise up from the left to a domed peak, creating what looks from distance like a rolling ridge. There are plenty of grey clouds but they are high and the day appears dry.

  3. A row of five plastic fence segments have been erected along Nether Bridge. The wall of the stone bridge has been destroyed. A row of houses can be seen in the background.

  4. Cyclists climbing up a narrow street which has stone buildings on either side. Crowds line the street, a few holding Union Jack flags. There is bunting above the street further down the street which is the bottom of the road.

  5. Thousands of motorcyclists ride from London to Barrow ahead of Dave Day to celebrate the life of the Hairy Biker.

  6. Three peacocks in a garden. One stands on the floor looking towards a fence to the left. The other two stand on top of the fence, the one on the far left peering down. The gardens are cast in a golden light and there are green hedges and pink flowers in the bottom left corner.

  7. A young woman with a woolly hat sits on a large black off-road mobility scooter. She wears a green puffed jacket and a blue and white striped jumper. She is parked on a raised wooden viewing platform overlooking a countryside scene.

  8. A furry water vole stands on small green blades of grass. The vole has tiny black beady eyes and chestnut-coloured fur. The rodent has long whiskers and tiny feet.

  9. Hairy Biker Si King (L) at the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull, as he and thousands of others ride on motorbikes from London to Barrow. They are clad in biking gear and helmets.

  10. A dark green post box sits in a cemetery. It has a sign on the front with 'letters to heaven' against a blue sky and clouds.

  11. Three baby kestrels standing in the window opening of an old derelict house. They have black and brown speckled feathers and bright yellow talons.

  12. Carla Earnshaw, a woman in her late 30, photographed outside Carlisle Magistrates' Court. She has blonde hair and glasses.

  13. A mugshot of Marc Proudfoot, a man in his 30s with short hair and stubble. He appears to have a marking above one of his eyebrows - it is not clear whether it is a wound.

  14. Three men hold up a large England flag with the words Barrow AFC across the horizontal line of the red cross. In the top left corner it has the Barrow AFC badge, the top right has a red rose, the bottom left has the phrase "you fill up my senses" and the remaining quarter has the outline of a black submarine. The three men are all wearing sunglasses and are standing in front of a sign for the theme park Six Flags Over Texas. There is a pavilion and a rollercoaster in the background.

  15. Dale Street in Ulverston. A straight, narrow road with different styles of two-storey terraced houses. On the left there are fences, walls and large bushes and trees separating houses from the narrow pavement which parked cars straddle further down. On the right, red brick houses open directly on to the pavement. Cars are also parked all along that side but are fully on the road rather than part on the pavement.

  16. An old image showing Carlisle's Union Workhouse. The yellowed image shows the building with a main central body with a pitched roof, a tower at either side and a clock on the higher part of the facade. There are two large wings over three floors on both sides of the central body.

  17. The outside of the Castlegate and Derwent Surgery site on Isel Road in Cockermouth, Cumbria

  18. Mansion House consists of three white buildings in a u-shape. The main building is three-storeys with rows of square windows and a steps leading up to a large red door. The buildings on the left and right are two-storeys with a similar colour design. There are car parking spaces marked in paint out front.

  19. The exterior of Furness General Hospital. It is a red-brick building with cars parked at the front.

  20. Ally Wollaston of team Suez (centre left) passes the Tolbooth Steeple during stage four of the 2025 Lloyds Tour of Britain Women in Glasgow

  21. Five cyclists using the revamped cycle path in Lowca. A group of three is in the foreground, with two cyclists a short distance behind them. There are houses on the right hand side and in the distance, surrounded by lush green countryside. All the cyclists are wearing helmets and colourful jackets, some have bags attached to their bikes.

  22. A worker inside the SIS Pitches factory in Maryport works on a large machine making artificial grass. The woman has long blond hair in a ponytail and wears a purple top and purple high viz vest. The machine in front of her looks like a large loom with green fibres being woven.

  23. A police mugshot of Blake Stuart. He has brown hair and an unkempt brown beard. He has dark brown eyes and bushy eyebrows. He is staring defiantly at the camera.

  24. Dozens of toys - many boxed - wrapped up in clear plastic bags.
