Rare album featuring Victorian Broads life fetches £52k
The book was put up for sale after being found in a cupboard in a house in Maryland, US. The anonymous seller said their grandparents had been keen "yard salers" and probably only paid a few dollars for it. The anonymous buyer from Suffolk said they already owned several Emerson works. They said "It's a piece of Anglian heritage, yet Emerson had a strikingly modern aesthetic sensibility. "He captured a bygone way of life, but his interpretation feels timeless."It was sold in London by Roseberys auctioneer Jack Wallis.He said he was pleased the book was coming back to the East of England after many years in the US.Mr Wallis said: "I hope it's appreciated by generations of East Anglians to come".
Emerson (1856–1936) was born in Cuba and raised partly in America, before settling in England. He is credited with elevating the new technology of photography to an artform, often focusing on the everyday life of people in East Anglia.He met his co-author and fellow artist Goodall (1856-1944) on a trip to the Broads and the idea for the book was devised.

STV warns over profits as advertising market slumps and TV projects delayed
Shares in the London-listed business plunged by about a quarter on Monday morning following the update. STV said it was now expecting full-year revenue and adjusted operating profit to be 'materially below' a consensus of analysts. Revenues are predicted to range between £165 million and £180 million for 2025. The company said it was now targeting £2.5 million worth of cost savings this year – higher than the £1.7 million outlined in March – having launched a significant savings programme last year, including across its broadcast operations. STV blamed worsening conditions in the commissioning and advertising markets in recent months for the profit and sales downgrade. Advertising revenues for the period between July and September is forecast to decline by 8%, lower than previously expected, driven by a sharp 20% drop in July, it told investors. The year-on-year decline is set to be impacted by particularly strong sales this time last year, due to the men's Euro football tournament being broadcast on TV. It follows a 10% fall in advertising revenues over the first half of 2025. A number of businesses, including WPP and S4 Capital, have flagged a worsening advertising market as more challenging economic conditions prompt clients to reign in marketing spending. Furthermore, STV warned the uncertainty was causing significant deterioration in the commissioning market. It said projects within its unscripted labels were being impacted with some in advanced development not getting the green light, and others being delayed into 2026. Nevertheless, it highlighted strong progress within its scripted labels with current projects including for Netflix, Apple, Sky and the BBC. Rufus Radcliffe, STV's chief executive, said: 'The deteriorating macroeconomic backdrop continues to lower business confidence impacting both markets in which we operate. 'STV Studios' delivery schedule for the remainder of 2025 has been impacted by the UK commissioning market, which has further weakened at the end of H1 (the first half of 2025) and into the second half of the year.' But he said production had finished on 'key titles with international appeal, including high-end drama Amadeus for Sky and a third series of Blue Lights for BBC One'. 'We are proactively responding to market conditions through a combination of investing in targeted future growth initiatives aligned with our long-term strategy and identifying efficiency and cost saving opportunities across the business,' Mr Radcliffe added.

Revealed: The reason why England hero Lauren Hemp is clutching a Lego Disney set as she leaves Swiss hotel ahead of triumphant homecoming
England star Lauren Hemp was seen holding a Beauty And The Beast-themed Lego set as the Lionesses prepared to return to the UK on Monday. After celebrating with her England team-mates long into the night following their 3-1 penalty shootout victory over Spain to win Euro 2025, Hemp, 24, was seen leaving the team hotel in Zurich, Switzerland with the giant sculpture. The sculpture is a Lego replica of the Beast's castle from the popular Disney film, which was first released in 1991 before a live-action remake came out in 2017. Hemp is known to be a huge fan of Lego, having previously built Star Wars character Yoda and a mini version of Barcelona 's Nou Camp stadium. During the 2023 World Cup, she revealed her love for constructing the toys, stating: 'I've been waiting for a delivery actually, which came a few days ago so I've been really excited for that. 'I've recently done a motorbike that you've probably seen on social media that I bought on the plane because I didn't trust it to get to me in one piece without me physically holding it. 'And I'm working on this globe at the moment. So I'm going to have both hands on the plane holding this motorbike and globe all the way back to England!'
