I love spiders but the Tegeneria species can go extinct for me like, I actually hate them!Wow. I think that top one is a Dolomedes Fimbriatus. A beautiful Raft Spider in layman's terms. You don't live in the Fens by any chance. It could also be a Pisaura Mirsbilis. The Dolomedes eats small fish and is recorded as the largest spider in England.
That fellow in the middle could be a Scytodes. A spitting spider. It looks like it's used its sticky gob to catch that fly.
At the bottom we have the much Maligned Tegeneria. The common house spider. Too many about at this time of year. My love and interest ends here. They are scary bastards!

This is the only time I've seen a Raft Spider but I thought they had white on the back looking on Google, I'm in Seaham.
As for the middle one our garage is full of them, they get massive too but I don't think it's a spitting spider - is it not a Cellar Spider?
I've tried to handle Tegenaria before but I just can't bring myself to do it, seen loads of people do it on youtube like. I have no fear of Dystera quite like them tbh bit then I haven't been bitten....Yeah the one at the top could be a Pisaura (related to Dolomedes).
Middle one - yeah. It's a Pholcus alright. I wasn't sure of the scale. They are massive but don't bother me. Don't really think of them as spiders. A Scytodes has exactly the same markings but is much smaller.
Tegenarias are sinister. Second only to Dysdera in terms of striking fear into me. I've been bitten by a dystera - it registered!
f***ing horrible.
Hope you do not mind me adding a couple from my back yard/garden too.
Huntsmen spiders, buggers to catch as are like greased lightning.

More to come...
Hmm. Won't let me add any more images...
Oh, they are not so bad really.
Yeah, down in a small corner of Victoria. Not had any in the current house but the last one we had dozens of them. Mostly Whitetails in this one, but they are not so good models for a photograph.
Had these though. Christmas spiders.
