Lune Aqueduct

Das Lune Aqueduct ist ein Aquädukt, das den Lancaster Canal über den Fluss Lune im Osten von Lancaster, Lancashire in England führt. Der Aquädukt wurde zwischen 1794 und 1797 von John Rennie senior gebaut. Das Bauwerk überspannt in einer Höhe von 18,6 m mit 5 Bögen, die aus Ziegeln gebaut wurden auf einer Länge von insgesamt 202,4 m den Fluss. Im Trog wurde dem Zement Puzzolane beigemischt, die es möglichen machten, dass der Beton auch unter Wasser fest wurde. Der Bau sollte unbedingt vor dem Einsetzen des Winters beendet werden und darum wurde gegen Ende der Bauzeit durch die Nacht gearbeitet, was dazu beitrug, dass die Kosten mit 48.000 £ 2,6 mal so hoch wie die Schätzungen waren, was verhinderte, dass ein Aquädukt am südlichen Ende des Kanals am River Ribble gebaut werden konnte. Das Lune Aquädukt ist ein Grade I geschütztes Baudenkmal.

Lune Aqueduct

The Lune Aqueduct is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Lancaster Canal over the River Lune, on the east side of the city of Lancaster in Lancashire, England. It was completed in 1797 at a total cost of £48,320 18s 10d. It is a Grade I listed building. Construction The aqueduct was designed by civil engineer John Rennie and constructed by architect Alexander Stevens (died 1796, aged 66). The cost of the construction was close to £50,000. The aqueduct is a traditional structure of that time, consisting of five stone arches supporting the stone trough. Within the piers, special volcanic pozzolana powder was imported to be mixed with cement, which allowed the concrete to set under water. Because of the rush to finish the initial stages, before the winter floods, the construction was carried out around the clock and the final bill for the project was over £30,000 over budget (2.6 times the original estimate). This vast overspend was the reason that the Lancaster canal was never joined to the main canal network – there wasn't enough money for the planned aqueduct over the River Ribble at the southern end of the canal. Recent restoration Work began to restore the aqueduct in January 2011, and was completed in March 2012. The work involved restoring the canal channel, masonry repairs, removing graffiti, and improving public access. The project cost £2.4m, and was funded by British Waterways, Lancaster Canal Trust, English Heritage and the Heritage Lottery Fund. Inscriptions The structure bears two inscriptions: North side: "To Public Prosperity" South side: "QUAE DEERANT ADEUNT: SOCIANTUR DISSITA: MERCES FLUMINA CONVENIUNT ARTE DATURA NOVAS. A.D. MDCCXCVII. ING. I. RENNIE EXTRUX. A. STEVENS. P. ET F." which can be translated as: "Things that are wanting are brought together / Things remote are connected / Rivers themselves meet by the assistance of art / To afford new objects of commerce. AD 1797. Engineer J Rennie. Built A Stevens father and son" (translated from the Latin) Gallery See also Grade I listed buildings in Lancashire Listed buildings in Halton-with-Aughton Listed buildings in Quernmore Canals of the United Kingdom List of canal aqueducts in the United Kingdom Notes References Cross Fleury (1891).

Candy Bar, Soho

Candy Bar was a lesbian bar that was based in Carlisle Street in Soho, London. It was started in 1996 by Kim Lucas who decorated the interior pink and provided lap and pole dancing. Men were allowed into the bar if accompanied by a woman. In 2011, the bar was sold by Lucas to Gary Henshaw, owner of the Ku chain of London gay bars. New management brought in by Henshaw toned down the bright pink decoration. The bar was featured in a Channel 5 six-part fly-on-the-wall documentary series named Candy Bar Girls. The bar closed in January 2014 following an increase in rents. References

Chester Burn Viaduct

Chester Burn viaduct is a railway viaduct in Chester-le-Street, County Durham, England. It is an imposing structure, dominating the marketplace and north end of the town. It carries the East Coast Main Line, the main railway from Newcastle to London. Chester-le-Street station on that line is just south of the viaduct. It is a Grade II listed structure. History A railway line from Gateshead to Durham through Team Valley was proposed in 1846, and authorised in 1848. The downfall of "Railway King" George Hudson in 1849 led to its postponement, and work was delayed until 1862 when the North Eastern Railway regained the authority to build the Team Valley line, which required the building of the viaduct. The viaduct was completed in 1868 by Benjamin Carr Lawton, under the control of Thomas Elliot Harrison. The line opened the same year, on 2 March for freight and 1 December for passengers. The viaduct is still in use, carrying the East Coast Main Line. Architecture The viaduct consists of 11 semi-elliptical arches, each 60 feet (18 m) wide and is 90 feet (27 m) high, for a total length of 230 metres (750 ft). It is mostly red engineering brick in English bond, with seven rows of header bond around the arches and with stone for the plinths and parapet edge. The stone and bricks are all original, though there has been some resurfacing on the west. Railings and refuges added later are not part of the listed structure. It lies on a north–south axis with a slight curve, passing over Chester Burn. The viaduct was built to cross Chester Burn (also known as Cong Burn), then a centre of activity with both industrial and residential properties around its banks. In 1955 to establish a new market the area east of the viaduct was cleared and the burn concreted over below the viaduct. More recently a Tesco superstore was built, and its carpark occupies the space beneath the arches today. References External links Media related to Chester-le-Street Viaduct at Wikimedia Commons
Бристълски канал

Бристълският канал или Бристълски залив (на английски: Bristol Channel) е залив в югозападната част на остров Великобритания, разделящ географски южните части на Уелс от Англия. Той се простира от естуара на река Севърн до Келтско море в Атлантическия океан. Кръстен е на един от най-големите и важни британски градове – Бристъл, разположен в най-вътрешните части на залива. Значителни територии, както по южното, така и по северното крайбрежие, имат статут на национални паркове. Описание Международната хидрографска организация определя външната (западна) граница на залива, като линия свързваща географския нос Хартланд пойнт (51.016667, -4.533333) в община Торидж, графство Девън с географския нос Сейнт Джован хед (51.6, -4.916667) в област Пембрукшър, Уелс. Тази граница е допълнително дефинирана и от островчето Лънди, разположено точно по фиксираната линия на около 19 km на север-северозапад от Хартланд пойнт. В тази най-широка част на Бристълския канал, разстоянието между двата географски носа е приблизително 69 km. За вътрешната (източна) граница на залива е определяна линията свързваща географските носове Санд пойнт в графство Съмърсет и Лейвърнок пойнт южно от Кардиф, Уелс. Разстоянието между тези два географски носа е приблизително 13 km. Участъкът североизточно от тази линия се дефинира като естуара на река Севърн, където е разположен и самия Бристъл. В непосредствена близост до вътрешната делителна линия откъм страната на залива се намират островчетата Стийп Холм и Флат Холм. Дължината на целия канал между горе цитираните граници е около 120 km. Дълбочина до 50 m. Бреговете му са силно разчленени, като по северното му крайбрежие са разположени големите заливи Кармартен и Суонси, а по южното – Бриджуотър и Барнстапъл. Приливите са полуденонощни с височина до 14,4 m. Селища Най-големият град по крайбрежието на канала е Суонзи, разположен на северния (уелския) бряг. Другите по-големи градове в района на залива също са в уелската част - Бари, Порт Толбът и Ланели. Сред по-малките курортни градчета по северното крайбрежие са Порткаул, Мъмбълс, Сондърсфут и Тенби. По английското крайбрежие няма големи населени места. Сред курортните градчета разположени директно на залива са Бърнам-он-Сий, Майнхед и Уочет в графство Съмърсет и Илфракъмб в Девън. Общинските центрове Барнстъпъл и Байдфорд се намират във вътрешните части на естуарите на реките Тоу и Торидж, имащи общо устие към залива Байдфорд в най-външната част на Бристълския канал.

Bristolský záliv

Bristolský záliv (anglicky Bristol Channel, velšsky Môr Hafren, což znamená v překladu do češtiny Severnské moře) je záliv, oddělující jižní Wales od hrabství Devon a Somerset v jihozápadní Anglii. Bristolský záliv se táhne od ústí řeky Severn do Keltského moře. Jeho jméno je odvozeno od admirála lorda Bristola. Ve své nejširší části je Bristolský záliv široký přes 50 km.

Bristolkanalen

Bristolkanalen (walisisk Môr Hafren) er fjordområdet hvor floden Severn møder Atlanterhavet. Fjorden skiller det sydlige Wales fra det sydvestlige England, og har navn efter byen Bristol. Grænsen mod Atlanterhavet trækkes ved meridianen 5°V. Der er bygget to broer over fjorden, Severn Bridge og Second Severn Crossing, som henholdsvis fører motorvejene M48 og M4 mellem England og Wales. Der er også en jernbanetunnel, Severntunnelen, som fører Great Western hovedlinje under fjorden. Ved lavvande bliver meget af kanalen mudderfelter, eftersom fjorden har en tidevandsforskel på 15 m, den næststørste forskel i verden. Området er et vigtigt sted for dyre- og fugleliv, specielt for vadefugle, og dele af det er beskyttet. Blandt de større øer i kanalen er Lundy, Steep Holm og Flat Holm. Byer Byen Swansea er den største bosættelse på den walisiske side af Bristolkanalen. Andre større byområder inkluderer Barry (inklusive Barry Island), Port Talbot og Llanelli. Mindre kystbyer tæller Porthcawl, Mumbles, Saundersfoot og Tenby. Byerne Cardiff og Newport ligger ved Severns udmunding, men ligger inden selve Bristolkanalen. På den engelske sider findes kystbyerne Weston-super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea, Watchet, Minehead og Ilfracombe Der alle ligger ud til kanalen. Barnstaple og Bideford ligger ved flodmundingerne ud tilBideford Bay, i den vestlige ende af Bristolkanalen. Lige oppe ad Severnflodmundingen ligger byen Bristol, der oprindeligt blev etableret langs floden Avon, men nu er docks i Severnflodmundingen en af de vigtigste havne i Storbritannien. Bristol har givet navn til kanalen, da den danner indgang til byen via vandvejen.
Canal de Bristol

El canal de Brístol (en inglés, Bristol Channel; en galés, Môr Hafren; literalmente, mar de Severn) es una larga y estrecha entrada de mar (tipo ensenada) de 135 km de longitud al suroeste de la isla de Gran Bretaña, siendo la mayor del Reino Unido. Básicamente, es un brazo o golfo del océano Atlántico limítrofe con el mar Céltico. Separa el sur del país de Gales de los condados ingleses de Devon y Somerset en el suroeste del Reino Unido, y finaliza en el estuario del río Severn. Es una importante vía de acceso marítimo al interior de la isla de Gran Bretaña y recibe su nombre porque en sus proximidades se encuentra la ciudad inglesa de Brístol. Geografía El canal de Brístol tiene 135 km de extensión y en su punto más ancho mide más de 50 km. El límite más bajo del canal se encuentra entre St. Govans Head, en Pembrokeshire, la isla de Lundy, y la punta de Hartland en Devon. El límite superior está entre Sand Point, Somerset y Lavernock Point en el sur del país de Gales. El noroeste de Pembrokeshire y el norte de Cornualles están fuera de los límites del canal y se consideran costas del océano Atlántico, a pesar de que Bude, al norte de Cornualles era conocida por los marinos en su ruta a Cardiff como «la puerta de entrada al canal de Brístol». Hay numerosas islas pequeñas poco habitadas en el canal: Lundy, que forma parte del condado de Devon en Inglaterra, es la mayor de todas las islas con una superficie de 4,24 km²; Steep Holm, parte de Somerset con una superficie de 25,51 hectáreas; Flat Holm, al norte de Steep Holm, parte de Glamorgan en el país de Gales. Estas islas son una reserva natural en donde habitan numerosas especies de aves como gaviotas, fulmares, cormoranes, alcas, araos, frailecillos, ostreros, alondras, mirlos negros, petirrojos y pardillos, entre otras. En el canal se producen numerosas mareas, la segunda más grande del mundo después de la bahía de Fundy -en marea baja se encuentran vastos bancos de barro en los bordes del canal. Transporte El canal cuenta con dos puentes en sus puntos más estrechos, el primero fue abierto en 1966 para la ruta M48 y el segundo fue abierto en 1996 para la autopista M4. Antes de la apertura del primer puente, el canal se cruzaba en el ferry de Aust. El túnel Severn se encuentra cerca del segundo puente sobre el río Severn y facilita la circulación de trenes bajo el canal. Delimitación de la IHO La máxima autoridad internacional en materia de delimitación de mares, la Organización Hidrográfica Internacional («International Hydrographic Organization, IHO), considera el canal de Brístol como un mar. En su publicación de referencia mundial, «Limits of oceans and seas» (Límites de océanos y mares, 3.ª edición de 1953), le asigna el número de identificación 20 y lo define de la forma siguiente: Notas Enlaces externos (en inglés) Bristol Channel, BBC.

Canal de Bristol

Le canal de Bristol (Bristol Channel en anglais, Môr Hafren en gallois) est un bras de mer du Royaume-Uni séparant le pays de Galles méridional de l'Angleterre du Sud-Ouest. Il s'étend de l'estuaire de la Severn à la mer Celtique dans l'océan Atlantique nord. Son nom vient de la ville de Bristol en Angleterre. Aussi anciennement nommé la Manche de Saint-Georges. Géographie L'Organisation hydrographique internationale définit les limites du canal de Bristol de la façon suivante : À l'ouest : Une ligne joignant Hartland Point (en), dans le Devonshire, (51° 01′ 19″ N, 4° 31′ 33″ O) à Saint Govan's Head, Pembrokeshire (51° 35′ 45″ N, 4° 55′ 35″ O). Le canal a une longueur d'environ 182 km et une largeur maximale de 132 km. Au nord se trouve le pays de Galles et les villes de Cardiff, Swansea, Newport et Chepstow. Sur la côte anglaise se trouvent les villes de Bristol, Portishead, Weston-super-Mare et Barnstaple. Il y a de nombreuses petites îles peu habitées ou inhabitées dans le canal : Steep Holm, faisant partie du Somerset, a une superficie de 25,51 hectares ; Flat Holm, au nord de Steep Holm, faisant partie de Glamorgan, au pays de Galles ; Lundy, située au large des côtes du Devon, en face du Hartland Point (en) ; Île de Caldey, dépendant administrativement du Pembrokeshire ; Tusker Rock, îlot faisant partie du Vale of Glamorgan. Sur ces îles se trouvent des réserves naturelles et de nombreux oiseaux, des colonies de goélands, mouettes, fulmars, cormorans, petit pingouin, guillemot de Troïl, macareux moine, huîtrier pie, alouette des champs, pipit farlouse, merle noir, rouge-gorge, linotte mélodieuse, tadorne. Dans le canal se produisent de très grandes marées, les deuxièmes plus grandes du monde derrière celles de la baie de Fundy au Canada - à marée basse, on trouve de vastes bancs de boue aux bords du canal.

Canale di Bristol

Il canale di Bristol (in inglese Bristol Channel; in gallese Môr Hafren) è un'insenatura dell'oceano Atlantico sulla costa occidentale dell'isola di Gran Bretagna. Appartiene amministrativamente al Regno Unito ed è diviso tra Galles a nord e Inghilterra a sud: divide le due città di Cardiff e Bristol. Geografia fisica Il canale è il prolungamento ideale dell'estuario del fiume Severn ed è delimitato a nord dal Galles, a sud dall'Inghilterra sud-occidentale ed a ovest dal mare Celtico. Il limite occidentale va dal promontorio di St Govan's Head nel Pembrokeshire all'isola di Lundy ed al promontorio di Hartland Point nel Devon. Il canale ha una ampiezza che va dagli 8 ai 69 km ed una lunghezza di circa 137 km. I fiumi principali che sfociano nel canale di Bristol sono il Severn, il Taff, l'Avon e l'Usk. Il canale di Bristol è caratterizzato dalle alte maree che possono superare i 12 metri. Le maree particolarmente alte possono invertire il corso del fiume Severn risalendone l'estuario. Città portuali Il canale prende il nome dalla città di Bristol sull'estuario del fiume Avon. Storicamente il porto di Bristol è stato uno dei più importanti della Gran Bretagna. Col tempo le attività portuali sono state trasferite alla foce dell'Avon e Bristol conserva il solo porto turistico. Lungo la costa gallese sono situati i porti di Milford Haven, Swansea, Barry, Cardiff e Newport posta sull'estuario del fiume Usk. Sul fiume Severn è posta la città di Gloucester che tramite un canale è collegata con l'estuario del fiume Severn e quindi con il canale. Infrastrutture e trasporti Una galleria di circa 7 km, costruita sotto l'estuario del Severn tra il 1873 ed il 1886, permette il collegamento ferroviario tra il Galles meridionale e l'Inghilterra sud-occidentale. Due ponti autostradali aperti al traffico rispettivamente nel 1966 e nel 1996 scavalcano l'estuario del Severn.

Kanaal van Bristol

Het Kanaal van Bristol (Engels: Bristol Channel, Welsh: Môr Hafren) is een grote inham en verbindt de rivier de Severn met de Keltische Zee (Atlantische Oceaan) in het westen, waarbij het Sint-Georgekanaal de inham verbindt met de Ierse Zee. De inham scheidt South West England van South Wales. Op het breedste punt is het Kanaal van Bristol 50 km breed. Het kanaal is belangrijk voor wadvogels onder andere vanwege het enorme getijdenverschil van 13 meter; alleen de Fundybaai in oost Canada heeft een nog groter getijdenverschil. Eilanden in het kanaal zijn Lundy, Steep Holm en Flat Holm. In de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd de PLUTO pijplijn, die na de invasie in Normandië de geallieerden van brandstof zou voorzien, uitgetest in het kanaal van Bristol.
