Tripontium

Tripontium fu un insediamento della Britannia romana, posto lungo la Watling Street, la strada romana che portava al Galles settentrionale. Esso sorgeva nell'odierna parrocchia civile di Newton and Biggin, principalmente nella contea inglese del Warwickshire e in parte del Leicestershire, circa 5,5 km a nordest di Rugby e circa 5 km a sud di Lutterworth. Tripontium è citato dall'Itinerarium Antonini. Etimologia Il nome Tripontium significa "luogo dei tre ponti", in riferimento ai vicini ponti sul fiume Avon e su due suoi tributari. Storia Tripontium era in origine una postazione militare di frontiera, fondata poco dopo la conquista romana della Britannia, attorno al 50 d.C.; successivamente si sviluppò fino a diventare un centro abitato, che fu popolato per circa 400 anni. Verso la fine del IV secolo d.C., quando i Romani lasciarono la Britannia, Tripontium fu abbandonato. Scavi archeologici La posizione esatta di Tripontium rimase sconosciuta per secoli, fino a quando l'antiquario Matthew Bloxam lo localizzò nel 1836. Gli scavi archeologici del sito iniziarono nel 1961 a cura della Rugby Archaeological Society e sono tuttora in corso. Inizialmente, si riteneva Tripontium un piccolo insediamento, cresciuto lungo la strada, di scarsa importanza. Gli scavi hanno invece dimostrato che fu un'importante città britannica romana, con grandi terme pubbliche, un vasto edificio amministrativo e una mansio. Vi si sono rinvenuti numerosi reperti ceramici, monete romane e altri reperti. Sfortunatamente, parte dell'area dell'insediamento è stata distrutta dalla moderna estrazione di ghiaia e parte del sito è attualmente non disponibile per l'esecuzione di scavi. Ciò nonostante, è estremamente probabile che nel sito si possano rinvenire ulteriori edifici, come ad esempio resti di templi o del foro. Gli scavi di Tripontium sono stati i più estesi di questa tipologia mai eseguiti da una società archeologica amatoriale. Tripontium fu probabilmente l'insediamento romano più importante dell'area. La città era collocata a circa 13 km a sud di Venonis (High Cross), il punto in cui la Watling Street incrociava la Fosse Way. L'ampia dimensione delle terme e la mansio fanno ritenere agli storici che Tripontium avesse sia il ruolo di importante stazione di sosta per i viaggiatori, sia militari sia civili, sia di centro amministrativo per l'intera area circostante. Attualmente, il sito non è aperto al pubblico; molti dei reperti degli scavi sono in mostra alla Rugby Art Gallery and Museum. Note Bibliografia Jack Lucas FSA, Tripontium, 1997, ISBN 0-9531265-0-1.

Trippet stones

Der Steinkreis Trippet stones liegt nordöstlich von Blisland im Bodmin Moor, in der Nähe des Steinkreises Stripple stones in Cornwall in England. Der etwa 31,9 Meter messende, leicht ovale Steinkreis enthält acht aufrechte und vier liegende Steine. Die Steine stehen in einem durchschnittlichen Abstand von 3,7 m. Der größte misst 1,6 Meter. Die gefallenen Steine sind zwischen 2,1 und 1,6 m lang. William Collings Lukis geht von ursprünglich 26 und Aubrey Burl von 28 Menhiren aus. John Barnatt hält die Trippet-Steine für den Teil eines Gesamtkonzeptes in der Westhälfte des Bodmin Moor. Der Kreis stammt aus dem Spätneolithikum oder der frühen Bronzezeit. Es gibt mehrere Menhire (Trehudreth Downs A bis C) und Steinkreise auf Bodmin Moor, darunter Fernacre, Stannon, die Stripple stones und The Hurlers.

Trippet stones

The Trippet stones or Trippet stones circle is a stone circle located on Manor Common in Blisland, 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) north northeast of Bodmin on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, UK. The Stripple stones are nearby. Description The circle is situated on nearly level ground and has a diameter of 104.6 feet (31.9 m). It is made of eight upright granite stones with four others that have fallen. The stones are spaced on average around 12 feet (3.7 m) apart, the highest measuring 5.2 feet (1.6 m). The fallen stones are 6.8 feet (2.1 m) and 5.2 feet (1.6 m) long. William Lukis suggested there may originally have been as many as twenty-six menhirs that suffered at the hands of stone-breakers. Aubrey Burl suggested twenty eight, set up on opposite facing pairs and suggests the name represents the folklore belief that the stones were girls punished for tripping lightly on Sabbath. The Stripple stones are visible around 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) eastwards over boggy ground. John Barnatt said that the Trippet stones "may replace (or complement) the Stripple stones as part of an overall building programme in the western half of Bodmin Moor". Archaeology The Trippet stones were examined in 1908 by H. St. George Gray who excavated the nearby Stripple stones in 1905 and found a few flint flakes and an entrance from this facing southwest, directly towards the Trippet stones. Alignments Norman Lockyer visited the site in 1907 and suggested the date of the circle's construction to be around 1700 BC by calculating an alignment of Arcturus over Rough Tor. Lockyer also noted an eleven degree alignment between Trippet stones and Leaze stone circle, but suggested if this alignment were to mean anything, it would have to be with regards stellar rising alignments as it is outside of the sun's path.

Pedras Trippet

O Círculo de pedras Trippet ou de Pedras Trippet é um círculo de pedras localizado no Manor Common em Blisland, a 9 quilômetros a nordeste de Bodmin on Bodmin Moor em Cornwall, Reino Unido. As pedras da Stripple estão próximas. Descrição O círculo está situado em um terreno quase nivelado e tem um diâmetro de 31, 9 metros. É feito de oito pedras de granito na vertical, com outras quatro que caíram. As pedras são espaçadas em média em torno de 3,7 metros separados, o mais alto medindo 1,6 metros. As pedras caídas tem 2,1 metros e 1,6 metros de comprimento. William Lukis sugeriu que originalmente poderia haver até vinte e seis menires que sofreram nas mãos de quebradores de pedras. Aubrey Burl sugeriu vinte e oito, montados em pares opostos e sugere que o nome represente a crença do folclore de que as pedras eram meninas punidas por tropeçarem levemente no sábado. As pedras Stripple são visíveis a cerca de 1 quilômetro para o leste sobre terreno pantanoso. John Barnatt disse que as pedras Trippet "podem substituir (ou complementar) as pedras Stripple como parte de um programa geral de construção na metade ocidental de Bodmin Moor". Arqueologia As pedras Trippet foram examinadas em 1908 por H. St. George Gray, que escavou as pedras Stripple próximas em 1905 e encontrou alguns flocos de pederneira e uma entrada desta voltada para o sudoeste, diretamente em direção às pedras Trippet. Alinhamentos Norman Lockyer visitou o local em 1907 e sugeriu que a data da construção do círculo fosse por volta de 1700 a.C. calculando um alinhamento de Arcturus sobre Rough Tor. Lockyer também observou um alinhamento de onze graus entre as pedras Trippet e o círculo de pedras de Leaze, mas sugeriu que se esse alinhamento tivesse algum significado, teria que ser em relação aos alinhamentos estelares, pois estão fora do caminho do sol.

Trocadero, Birmingham

The Trocadero, 17 Temple Street, Birmingham, England, currently a pub, is a dazzling demonstration of the use of coloured glazed tile and terracotta in the post-Victorian era of architecture. Formerly the Fire Engine House for the Norwich Union Insurance Company (1846, Edge & Avery), it was altered in 1883 to make the Bodega wine bar. It was given the current colourful glazed front in 1902 when it became the Trocadero. It is Grade II listed. The pub is noted as a meeting place for the Birmingham Surrealists group of artists and intellectuals associated with the city from the 1930s to the 1950s. References Sources Historic England.

Tropiquaria

Tropiquaria Zoo is a small tropical house and zoo in Somerset, England. It is located at Washford Cross, 16 miles (26 km) from Taunton and 9 miles (14 km) from Minehead. It is based in a 1930s art deco BBC radio transmitter hall of Washford transmitting station, which became a Grade II listed building in 1984. Tropiquaria opened on the site in 1989. The majority of the old transmitting station building became surplus to the BBC's requirements in 1981 when new, smaller equipment was installed in a separate building to the rear. In 1987, a £100,000 scheme to transform the unused part of the building into an aquarium and reptile house was proposed by the consortium Ark Enterprises Ltd, headed by Stephen Smith. Both a 21-year lease on the building and planning permission were acquired in 1987. There is a mainly African theme to the tropical hall and aquarium as well as the large number of outside enclosures. The zoo is a member of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and has successfully bred a number of endangered species of mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish. Tropiquaria includes a Tropical Hall with a variety of snakes and lizards, and birds. The zoo also features an aquarium with several species of endangered, critically endangered and even extinct in the wild species of fish. Outside are macaws, helmeted curassow, cockatoos, parrots, agoutis, gibbons, serval, wildcats, wallabies, emus, rheas, tapir, cotton-top tamarins, red-handed tamarins, ring-tailed lemurs, ruffed lemurs, brown lemurs, coatis, yellow mongoose and meerkats amongst many others. There are also a number of outdoor play areas, an indoor play area and cafe. References External links Media related to Tropiquaria at Wikimedia Commons Official website
Trosley Country Park

Trosley Country Park is in Trottiscliffe, near Vigo, in Kent, England. Once part of a large woodland estate then after many changes, it was passed to Kent County Council, who turned it into a large country park. History The country park was once part of the Trosley Towers Estate. In 1870, Sir Sydney Waterlow, 1st Baronet bought land that contained the village of Fairseat (near Stansted, Kent; 1 mile [1.6 km] west of Trottiscliffe), a major section of Stanstead as well as other pieces of land from Wrotham (2 miles [3.2 km] south of Trottiscliffe) to Meopham (2 miles [3.2 km] north of Trotiscliffe). The manor house in the estate was later demolished. The 170-acre (690,000 m2) park was opened in 1976 by Kent County Council. In 2004, an amenity block (with a public toilet facility, offices and store area) was built within the park. It had a sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) timber cladding from the local trees in the park. Also built with a sedum roof and rainwater drainage system recycled into the toilet flushing systems. The building also won the Public Building category of the 2005 Kent Design Awards. Ecology It is situated on the North Downs and the chalk grassland slopes of the park are a Site of Special Scientific Interest. These slopes were formerly used as grazing for farm animals, but were left to naturalise after the farms moved to the lower and more productive wealdland pastures. After the park was formed, these grasslands were cleared of scrub to allow the rare chalk land plants and animals to re-establish including the musk orchid, and chalkhill blue butterfly. Other meadow insects found include the dark green fritillary. Recreation The park has various circular trails around the site, within Downs Wood, Great Wood and Butchers Wood. Three main trails are marked. The 'Red Route' is 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of fairly flat terrain that uses North Downs Way.The 'Yellow Route' is a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) trail that uses some of the Red Route but is an easier, shorter trail. The 'Blue Route' is 2 miles (3.2 km) long, and involves more challenging terrain, with steep hills and climbs. It also passes Little Pell (wood) Great Pell Field (meadow). The North Downs Way leads via a bridleway through the Country Park on its way from Wrotham to Upper Halling. An 'Adventurous Pub Walk' of 8.5 miles (13.7 km) starts in the park and leads to Ryarsh and Addington, before returning to the park. The Coldrum Trail also starts in the country park and leads to the Coldrum Stones, before returning to the park. Location Situated off Junction 2 of the M20 motorway, the park is located off the A227 between Meopham and Wrotham. References External links Kent County Page Kent Downs page
Troutbeck Park

Troutbeck Park is a farm to the north of Troutbeck village in Westmorland and Furness, Cumbria.[1] In 1923, there was a risk of it being sold for development, so Beatrix Potter bought it and kept it as a working farm. She bred Herdwick sheep there with the help of shepherd Tom Storey. When she died in 1943 she was president-elect of the Herdwick Sheep Breeders' Association, though she died before she could take up office. It was one of the fourteen farms which Beatrix Potter left to the National Trust when she died. External links Troutbeck Park farm on visitcumbria website References
Trowbarrow Quarry

Trowbarrow Quarry is a disused limestone quarry near Silverdale, Lancashire, England, which is a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Local Nature Reserve. It is a popular rock climbing area. Geology This site is important for its microfossils from the Lower Carboniferous Urswick Limestone from the Visean Stage (Asbian substage [1]). Fossils include corals from Syringopora and gastropods from Straparollinidae. Microfossils of algae and foraminifera are also present. History The quarry produced limestone for use in construction, industry and agriculture, starting when the Furness Line railway opened nearby in 1857, providing a means of moving the output. A new method to produce Tarmacadam was developed, using hot tar from the gasworks at nearby Carnforth to mix with crushed limestone. The quarry closed in 1959, having employed 20 to 30 men for most of its active life. The site is now managed as part of the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Land ownership All land within Trowbarrow Quarry SSSI is owned by the local authority. References External links Arnside and Silverdale AONB Countryside Management Service (n.d.).

Trowlock Island

Trowlock Island ist eine bewohnte Insel in der Themse 450 m flussaufwärts des Teddington Lock weniger als 10 m vom nördlichen Ufer im London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England. Lage Hampton Wick ist die nächste Siedlung der Insel. Auf Trowlock Island gibt es 29 Bungalows und das Clubhaus und eine Sporthalle des Royal Canoe Clubs. Die Insel ist ungefähr 535 m lang und hat einen Weg in der Mitte mit Häusern auf beiden Seiten. Hinter dem letzten Haus gibt es ein kleines bewaldetes Gebiet mit Anlegestellen. Der Zugang zur Insel erfolgt über eine von Hand betriebene Kettenfähre. Geschichte Wie viele andere Inseln in der Themse hat auch diese Insel ihre Gestalt im Lauf der Zeit verändert. Die Karte von John Rocque aus dem Jahr 1746 zeigt drei getrennte Inseln. Der Name der Insel leitet sich von Trow, einer Art von Barke ab. Harry Gibbs’ Bootsbau gab es 1910 auf der Insel. Betrieb Trowlock Island Limited verwaltet die Insel und die gemeinsame Infrastruktur. Das Board of Directors wird von den Teilhabern – jedes Haus oder Stück Land hat eine Reihe von Stimmanteilen – gewählt. Die Hauseigentümer und der Royal Canoe Club besitzen die Firma. Auf der Insel und am Ufer der Themse leben zahlreiche Wildtiere. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln in der Themse Weblinks Thames at Trowlock Island auf environment-agency.gov.uk Einzelnachweise
Trowlock Island

Trowlock Island is a residential island in the River Thames 450 metres (490 yd) upstream of Teddington Lock on the non-tidal Kingston reach less than 10 metres from the northern bank, in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, England. Geography Teddington Lock's Weir is a large structure on the same side of the river by Teddington Studios and the Lensbury Club, which is 450 m (490 yd) downstream. From the Thames Path crossing across the Lock in the north Ham is accessible. From the Teddington riverside by the island, stations of Hampton Wick and Teddington are 1.4 kilometres (0.87 mi) and 1.9 kilometres (1.2 mi) respectively by foot or road and therefore the centre of Hampton Wick is closer to the island than any other settlement. Trowlock Island contains 29 bungalows in plots as well as the Royal Canoe Club's clubhouse and gym. Trowlock Island is about one-third of a mile (0.54 kilometres) long with a path down the middle and houses on either side. Beyond the last house is a lightly wooded area with moorings on both the main river and the backwater. History Like many islands in the Thames, the form of the island has changed over time, being shown as three separate islets on John Rocque's map of 1746. The name derives from Trow, a type of barge averaging 50–60 tons. Harry Gibbs' boat building firm was located on the island in 1910. Transport Access is by way of a hand-wound chain ferry. Maintenance and facilities Trowlock Island Limited manages the shared infrastructure of the island and its board of directors is elected by the shareholders — each bungalow or plot of land carries with it a number of shares so that all houseowners plus the Royal Canoe Club collectively own the company. The Canoe Club has made a recent significant investment in providing new facilities for young people, including a new gym, boatsheds and training facility. Included in this re-development is a plan for encouraging bio-diversity, such as bats (pipistrelle and Daubenton's bat being the species most likely to be found in the area), water fowl and rare species of cultivated plants. Wildlife The island, with surrounding water and banks of reach of the Thames are home to numerous species of wildlife; the following can be seen as nesting nearby: Notes and references Notes References See also Islands in the River Thames Islands in the River Thames listed in order upstream from the sea.

Troxy

Il Troxy è un teatro in stile art déco e sala per concerti di Londra. Sorge lungo Commercial Road a Stepney, nella East End, nel borough di Tower Hamlets. Storia Progettato da George Coles, architetto che firmò molti teatri in stile art deco di Londra, ha palco girevole, organo Wurlitzer, ricche decorazioni con lampadari e grandi scalinate. Aprì nel 1933 e con una capienza di 3.520 posti a sedere era all'epoca uno dei cinema più grandi d'Inghilterra. Ospitò spettacoli teatrali e musicali di artisti quali Vera Lynn, Clark Gable e the Andrews Sisters. A causa dei danneggiamenti dovuti alla guerra e al generale declino della zona, nel novembre 1960 il teatro chiuse. Il London Opera Centre ebbe qui la sua sede dal 1963 al 1977. Nel 1990 fu classificato con Grado II nella lista degli edifici britannici. Fino al 2006 fu usato come sala bingo. Negli anni successivi si è affermato come sala per concerti, matrimoni, conferenze e mostre. Ospita anche gare di arti marziali. Può ospitare sino a 2.600 persone.

True's Yard Fisherfolk Museum

True’s Yard Fisherfolk Museum is a social history museum in King's Lynn, Norfolk. It is an independent museum run almost entirely by volunteers and depicts the story of the old North End fishing quarter of King's Lynn. Support was received from the late Bernard Matthews and others. Most of the North End was knocked down in the slum clearances of the 1930s and 1960s. The cottages The cottages consist of just two rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. At one time in cottage no.5 a family of eleven squeezed into the tiny rooms. The nine children had to sleep in one double bed, top to tail, while the parents had to sleep on the floor. There were no toilet facilities, instead they used a chamber pot which was kept under the bed. The smokehouse Opened in the 1890s by retired fisherman Thomas Westwood, along with his wife Mary and three daughters, Mary, Penelope and Emily. He also had two sons Thomas and Charles. The family also opened a fishmonger's in the front room of the house that faced St. Ann's Street, from which they sold the fish they smoked in the smokehouse situated to the rear. A favourite smoked fish in the North End was the 'bloater' or a herring smoked whole. Publications Gifford, Alison Ghosts & Legends of Lynn King's Lynn: Trues Yard.
