Château de Tamworth

Le château de Tamworth est un château normand situé à Tamworth, dans le Staffordshire, en Angleterre. Histoire Le site, qui surplombe la vallée de la Tame, est fortifié en 913 par Æthelflæd, dame de Mercie. Ce burh est remplacé par une motte castrale après la conquête normande de l'Angleterre, probablement sous l'autorité de Robert Despenser (en), à qui Guillaume le Conquérant a conféré Tamworth. Après la mort de Despenser vers 1119, le château passe à la famille Marmion, qui le détient jusqu'à la fin du XIIIe siècle. À la mort de Philip Marmion (1241-1291), il revient à la famille Freville, puis à la famille Ferrers à la mort de Baldwin de Freville en 1423. Les Ferrers adaptent le château médiéval pour en faire une résidence de type Tudor. Lors de la guerre civile anglaise, le château de Tamworth est pris par les armées parlementaires après deux jours de siège en juin 1643. Il se transmet dans plusieurs familles successives (les Shirley en 1688, les Compton en 1715, les Townshend en 1751) avant d'être vendu aux enchères en 1897. C'est la Tamworth Corporation (actuel Tamworth Borough Council) qui en fait l'acquisition et l'ouvre au public deux ans plus tard.

Castello di Tamworth

Il castello di Tamworth (Tamworth Castle in inglese) è un castello situato nella cittadina inglese di Tamworth, nella contea dello Staffordshire. Appartiene al I° Grado monumenti classificati del Regno Unito. Sorge su una collina che domina la confluenza del fiume Anker nel Tame. Storia Un primo fortilizio, un burh, fu costruito dalla sovrana del regno di Mercia Ethelfleda nel 913. La fortificazione venne saccheggiata dai danesi nel 943. Dopo questo fatto fu abbandonato e cadde in disuso. Negli anni ottanta dell'XI secolo, dopo la conquista normanna dell'Inghilterra, su parte del sito precedentemente occupato dal fortino merciano, il luogotenente di Guglielmo il Conquistatore Robert Despenser costruì un castello di legno. La fortificazione fu costruita con il sistema, tipico dei Normanni, della motta castrale. Morto senza eredi Despenser, il castello passò ad una piote la quale sposò Robert Marmion, appartenente alla famiglia dei Marmion. Dopo la morte di Philip Marmion nel 1291 passò ai Freville e, nella prima metà del XV secolo, ai Ferrers. Durante la guerra civile inglese il castello di Tamworth fu espugnato nel giugno 1643 dai parlamentaristi dopo due giorni d'assedio. Nel corso dei secoli il castello fu soggetto di numerose modifiche ed interventi, specialmente in epoca giacobiana, quando fu definitivamente convertito in edificio residenziale. Nel 1668 l'edificio passò agli Shirley di Chartley e successivamente ai Compton. Fino al 1889 il castello era incluso dentro i confini del Warwickshire mentre la cittadina di Tamworth era situata nello Staffordshire. Nel 1891 l'edificio fu messo in vendita dalla proprietà. Fu acquisito dal consiglio della città per 3000£ sei anni più tardi. Il castello di Tamworth fu aperto al pubblico nel 1899.

Tandle Hill

Tandle Hill Country Park is a country park in Royton, Greater Manchester, England. It consists of approximately 110 acres (45 ha), a combination of beech woodland and open grassland. The park contains a countryside centre (opened in 1994), picnic areas, children's play area and numerous trails and paths into the surrounding area. Two countryside rangers are based at the countryside centre. In fine weather conditions, it offers views of Manchester and the Welsh mountains. History of the Park Tandle Hill was originally part of the township of Thornham – part of the extensive parish of Middleton. It was used as a meeting place for radicals in the 19th century. In the period leading up to the Peterloo massacre it was said that it had been used by radicals for practising marching and drilling. The beech woodland was planted to prevent this happening again and the hill became a hunting park and private game reserve as part of the Thornham Estate. It was sold in 1861 and came into the ownership of Joseph Milne, whose wife later sold the park to Norris Bradbury, a Royton councillor. Bradbury gifted the park to the people of Royton in 1919 as a peace offering at the end of the First World War. A granite marker stands near the Oozewood entrance to the park, and its inscription reads: Tandle Hill Park and Woods. These grounds are the gift of Norris Bradbury Esq J.P. of Tynwald Mount, Shaw Road Royton as a thank offering for peace after the Great European War 1914–1919. 6th September 1919. Tandle Hill was formally designated as a country park on 1 July 1971. War memorial The war memorial commemorating the men of Royton who died during the First World War stands at the highest point in the park, and was unveiled on 22 October 1921 by the Earl of Derby. Originally the memorial, which is constructed from Portland stone, bore plaques listing the fallen and a bronze statue. The original plaques were stolen in 1969, and replacements were later installed in the grounds of St Paul's, Royton. Cultural references Tandle Hill is mentioned in one of the Alan Partridge shows for BBC Radio 4. Alan recalls ascending the hill during a cross-country run. Partridge's creator Steve Coogan grew up in Middleton, though Alan himself was supposedly from Norwich. Coogan attended Cardinal Langley Grammar School, Middleton, where cross country runs occasionally saw pupils being sent to the monument and back. Tandle Hill is mentioned in the lyrics of "Mill Boys" on the album Everyone Is Everybody Else by Barclay James Harvest. The album cover Script of the Bridge by The Chameleons has a sketch, by the band's guitarist Reg Smithies, of Tandle Hill, and the song "View From a Hill" relates to an experience singer/songwriter Mark Burgess experienced on Tandle Hill.

Tanfield Railway

Die Tanfield Railway ist eine Museumseisenbahn bei Gateshead in Tyne and Wear und County Durham, England. Lage Die Normalspur-Strecke ist 4,8 km lang und verläuft vom südlichen Endbahnhof bei East Tanfield über Causey Arch, Andrews House und Marley Hill Sheds zum nördlichen Endbahnhof bei Sunniside (Gateshead). Sie verläuft auf der Trasse einer früheren Holzschienenbahn und späteren Dampfeisenbahn einer Kohlenzeche. Sie behauptet von sich, die älteste noch in Betrieb befindliche Bahn der Welt zu sein. Die Eisenbahn bietet ganzjährig an Sonntagen Personen- und Güterverkehr mit historischen Dampf- und Dieselloks an. Kohlenbahn Die Bahn wurde ursprünglich für den Transport von Kohle aus den Bergwerken von County Durham zu den Schiffanlegesestellen am Fluss Tyne gebaut. Der älteste Teil im Nordosten der Linie bei Lobley Hill stammt aus dem Jahr 1647, und war bis zur endgültigen Stilllegung im Jahr 1964 ununterbrochen im Einsatz. Die Trasse und die Strukturen des ältesten Teils des heute noch erhaltenen Streckenabschnitts zwischen Sunniside und Causey stammt aus dem Jahre 1725 und sei somit laut Heritage Railway Association die weltweit älteste noch in Betrieb befindliche Bahn. Die Middleton Railway behauptet aber auch von sich, die älteste noch in Betrieb befindliche Bahn zu sein, weil sie laut einem Parlamentsgesetz von 1758 als erste eine Betriebserlaubnis erhalten habe. Der Streckenabschnitt von Causey nach East Tanfield wurde 1839 gebaut. Der Seilwindenschuppen bei Marley Hill wurde 1854 gebaut und war bis 1970 in Gebrauch. Dort befand sich bis zur Einführung von Lokomotiven eine Fördermaschine mit der die Kohlewagen den Hügel hinaufgezogen wurden. Ursprünglich wurden die Wagen von Pferden auf Holzschienen gezogen. Der Umbau in eine konventionelle Eisenbahn begann 1837 und wurde 1840 abgeschlossen. Im Jahr 1881 wurden die ersten Dampflokomotiven eingesetzt und der Personenverkehr begann. Die Zeche Tanfield wurde 1964 geschlossen und die bis dahin vom National Coal Board betriebene Bahn wurde daraufhin geschlossen und deren Gleise abgebaut und verschrottet. Museumseisenbahn Die Museumseisenbahn geht auf ein Projekt in Marley Hill zurück, in dem die Lokomotiven Nr. 21 und Nr. 5 (Malleable, englisch für Temperguss) bis zur ersten öffentlichen Fahrt unter Dampf im Jahr 1973 generalüberholt wurden. Der erste Personenzug verkehrte mit den Lokomotiven Nr. 21, Nr. 32 and Sir Cecil A. Cochrane im August 1975. Der Museumsbahnbetrieb mit Personenzügen wurde am 2. Juli 1981 zwischen Marley Hill und Sunniside Station und mit einer offiziellen Eröffnung am 14. Juli 1982 gefeiert. Andrews House Station südlich von Marley Hill wurde zwischen 1987 und 1989 gebaut und mit Bahnsteigen, einem Wasserturm, einem Stationsgebäude und einer Fußgängerbrücke ausgestattet. Der erste Zug nach Süden bis Causey fuhr am 27. Juli 1991 mit der offiziellen Eröffnungsfeier am 15. August 1991. Der Zugbetrieb wurde am 18. Oktober 1992 weiter nach Süden bis zum derzeitigen Endbahnhof aufgenommen und der Bahnhof East Tanfield 1997 eröffnet. Weblinks Offizielle Website Einzelnachweise
Chemin de fer de Tanfield

Le chemin de fer de Tanfield, dans le comté de Durham, en Angleterre, est le plus ancien du monde, édifié en 1727 dans la région de Newcastle par une association de producteurs charbonniers de la région, pour relier les mines des collines au fleuve Tyne. Le réseau est construit en reprenant des tronçons de rails qui existaient auparavant, la voie permet en particulier d'augmenter la production de Tanfield Moor et d'autres mines de charbon. Construit à une époque où n'existait pas encore de locomotives, mais simplement des wagonnets circulant sur des rails en bois avec l'aide de la traction humaine ou animale, vite remplacés par des rails en fer, le Chemin de fer de Tanfield emprunte l'Arche de Causey, haute de 20 mètres, à l'endroit où il franchit une étroite vallée. Long de huit miles, des collines de Tanfield et Marley au terminal charbonnier de Dunston, en utilisant la gravité naturelle du parcours, la ligne est reprise au XIXe siècle par la société Brandling Junction Railway et ferme en 1964. La partie la plus ancienne de la ligne daterait de 1650. Notes et références Liens externes Portail du chemin de fer Portail du Royaume-Uni

Sépulture princière de Taplow

La sépulture princière de Taplow est une tombe de l'époque anglo-saxonne découverte en 1883 à Taplow, dans le Buckinghamshire. Jusqu'à la découverte des tombes de Sutton Hoo en 1939, il s'agissait de la plus somptueuse sépulture princière anglo-saxonne connue. Découverte Dans le cimetière de l'ancienne église paroissiale de Taplow, détruite dans les années 1830, se dressait un tumulus couronné d'un if. Le nom même du village fait référence à cet imposant tertre : Taplow dérive du vieil anglais Tæppas hlāw, « le tumulus de Tæppa ». Des archéologues amateurs de la région entreprirent d'excaver le tumulus en 1883, mais ils s'y prirent d'une façon particulièrement maladroite, en creusant sous les racines de l'if. Leurs efforts entraînèrent l'effondrement du tumulus et de l'arbre et causèrent des dégâts importants au contenu de la sépulture. Qui plus est, les objets qui y furent découverts ne furent pas catalogués avec précision, compliquant encore davantage la tâche aux historiens ultérieurs. La tombe La chambre funéraire, aux parois en planches, se trouvait sous le niveau du sol au moment de l'inhumation. Elle abritait le corps du défunt, avec la tête orientée vers l'Est, sur un matelas de plumes. Les objets Parmi les objets découverts dans la sépulture : une boucle de ceinture en or et cloisonnée de grenat ; deux cornes à boire ; quatre gobelets en verre ; une série de pions en os, placés aux pieds du défunt. Le défunt Le défunt est de sexe masculin. Son identité est inconnue, mais la richesse des objets découverts dans sa sépulture implique qu'il était une personne de haut rang, peut-être un souverain local, ce que pourrait corroborer la situation du tumulus, surplombant la vallée de la Tamise. L'origine kentique de plusieurs objets trahit peut-être son origine : il est possible qu'il ait été un roitelet de Kent, régnant au début du VIIe siècle sur cette partie hautement stratégique de l'Angleterre, aux confins du Wessex et de la Mercie.

Taps Combe Camp

Taps Combe Camp (also known as Chelvey Batch Settlement) is an Iron Age hill fort in North Somerset, England. The hill fort is situated approximately 1.8 miles (2.9 km) east from the village of Brockley. The hill fort is shaped like a "D", and is approximately 50 metres (160 ft) by 50 metres (160 ft) wide. Background Hill forts developed in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age, roughly the start of the first millennium BC. The reason for their emergence in Britain, and their purpose, has been a subject of debate. It has been argued that they could have been military sites constructed in response to invasion from continental Europe, sites built by invaders, or a military reaction to social tensions caused by an increasing population and consequent pressure on agriculture. The dominant view since the 1960s has been that the increasing use of iron led to social changes in Britain. Deposits of iron ore were located in different places to the tin and copper ore necessary to make bronze, and as a result trading patterns shifted and the old elites lost their economic and social status. Power passed into the hands of a new group of people. Archaeologist Barry Cunliffe believes that population increase still played a role and has stated "[the forts] provided defensive possibilities for the community at those times when the stress [of an increasing population] burst out into open warfare. But I wouldn't see them as having been built because there was a state of war. They would be functional as defensive strongholds when there were tensions and undoubtedly some of them were attacked and destroyed, but this was not the only, or even the most significant, factor in their construction".

Tapton Hall

Tapton Hall is a Grade II listed building situated on Shore Lane in the Crosspool area of Sheffield, England. History Tapton Hall was built in 1855, on the site of an earlier building known as Tapton Grove, recorded on the 1853 town plan of Sheffield. The date of the construction of Tapton Grove is unknown but it is known that Mary Shore (thus Shore Lane) lived in the house until her death in 1853 at the age of 96. Mrs Shore was the grandmother of Florence Nightingale and the young Florence often stayed at the house. Upon the death of Mrs Shore, the house was bought by Robert B. Mitchell who, within two years, sold the house to the Sheffield steel magnate Edward Vickers. Vickers’ first action was to demolish Tapton Grove and erect Tapton Hall in its place. He used the architects Flockton & Son and the house was built in the Classical style with Italianate features. In 1867, the house was bought by George Wilson of the family of snuff manufacturers. Wilson paid £3,500 for Tapton Hall, plus £1,424 for the furniture and £218 for the wine left in the cellar. The hall was owned by the Wilson family until the late 1950s, being lived in by George Wilson's son George Kingsford Wilson (1853–1933) and then his grandson George Ronald Wilson (1888–1958). Soon after the death of George Ronald Wilson in 1958 the hall was purchased by the Masonic Hall Company of Sheffield who had plans to refurbish and extend the building. In 1959, the Masonic Hall Company held a limited competition and invited architectural firms to submit plans for large-scale additions to meet highly specialised needs without detracting from the quality of the house. The competition was won by the Sheffield firm of Hadfield, Cawkwell, Davidson & Partners who restored and renovated the existing house, providing specialised suites of rooms and a new 30,000 square foot extension. The extension, which was completed in 1967, was built in a contemporary style and has been described as “large and uncompromisingly modern”. It comprises two floors and includes four temples, dining rooms and kitchen to serve 360 diners. The extension is constructed in grey brick, ashlar stone slabs and precast concrete cladding. A large abstract concrete mural symbolising the turmoil and chaos of the outside by William Mitchell stands at the members' entrance. Present day Today, Tapton Hall is a conference and banqueting centre which hosts weddings, civil ceremonies, corporate events and special occasions. The building is also used as a Masonic Hall. Architecture The building is dominated by a large rounded two-storey bow window consisting of three sashes on each floor. The hipped slate roof is concealed by balustrades. The eastern entrance has a two-storey square porch. The interior has a grand entrance hall with an open-well staircase, moulded segmental arches, modillion cornice and a roof light.
