Modern WW2 style clothing designer

Looking for a UK clothing designer's website I saw a few years ago. As well as making tweed jackets and other garments, they had another "arm" of the business that specialised in vintage looking, quirky, World War 2 era replica work clothing that was trendy and quite pricey rather than historically accurate, as well as vintage kitchen and garden tools.

Looking for a specific, well known photo of Yorkshire

Looking for a photo/photographer I saw in a documentary a few years back. It was a black and white shot taken in the 1950's/60's and featured a typical small Yorkshire (or at least northern UK) village on a steep hillside at night. It was a long exposure and the glowing street and window lights illuminated the buildings and made for a very striking scene against the black sky and surrounding hills.

People are selling my rubbish.

Recently I took a large quantity of household junk to my local council run landfill/refuse site. 3 weeks later these items, which I presumed would be destroyed and buried, are appearing at local auctions.

Good modern songs aboot God.

What are some of the most overtly religious modern pop/rock/mainstream songs that sound great, and more importantly believable, in their devotion rather than jusy cringeworthy or preachy? Preachy titles also welcomed for comparison.

Purchasing "foreign" music on iTunes

Since iTunes won't let me purchase music from other territories, what are some good services that have worldwide coverage so I can download the tracks I want? If such a service even exists.
