Seahouses

Seahouses est un grand village sur la côte nord du Northumberland en Angleterre. Il est situé à environ 20 kilomètres au nord d’Alnwick, dans la région de la côte de Northumberland qui est d’une beauté naturelle exceptionnelle. Tourisme Seahouses attire de nombreux visiteurs, principalement de la région nord-est. Toutefois, les touristes nationaux et internationaux viennent souvent à Seahouses tout en visitant le parc national de Northumberland, Northumberland Coast et les îles Farne. Seahouses dispose également d’un port de pêche en activité, qui sert également pour le tourisme, étant le point d’embarquement pour les visites des îles Farne. Plusieurs compagnies de bateaux opèrent des boutiques de la ville et des stands le long du port, offrant divers forfaits qui peuvent inclure entre autres le débarquement sur au moins une des îles Farne, voir des phoques et des oiseaux de mer, et entendre un commentaire sur les îles et l’histoire de Grace Darling ou pratiquer la plongée sous-marine sur les nombreuses épaves des îles Farne. Le frère de Grace Darling est enterré dans le cimetière de North Sunderland. Il meurt en 1903, à l’âge de 84 ans. L’actuel canot de sauvetage de Seahouses porte le nom de Grace Darling. Le Seahouses Festival est un événement culturel annuel qui a commencé en 1999 comme un petit festival de chant de marins. Après une importante subvention européenne du programme Leader+, en 2005 il est devenu une célébration culturelle plus large. On prétend que les kippers ont été créés pour la première fois à Seahouses dans les années 1800, et ils sont encore produits localement à ce jour Entre 1898 et 1951, Seahouses a été le terminus nord-est du North Sunderland Railway. Indépendante jusqu’à sa fermeture définitive, elle a formé une liaison ferroviaire standard entre le village et la gare de Chathill sur la East Coast main line (Wright, 1988). Le site de la gare de Seahouses est maintenant le parking de la ville et le lit de piste entre le village et le nord de Sunderland est un sentier public. Administration Seahouses est au sein de la paroisse civile de North Sunderland et la division électorale du conseil du comté de Northumberland de Bamburgh. La circonscription parlementaire est Berwick-upon-Tweed, représenté par la députée Anne-Marie Trevelyan (conservateur). Religion Seahouses est dans l’archidiocèse anglican de Lindisfarne, dans le diocèse de Newcastle. Elle est dans le diocèse catholique de Hexham et Newcastle.

Ilkley Moor

Ilkley Moor ist ein Hochland südlich der englischen Stadt Ilkley in West Yorkshire. Lage Ilkley Moor ist der direkt südlich der Stadt Ilkley gelegene und mit 402 m gleichzeitig höchste Teil des Hochlands Rombalds Moor. Nach Süden und Südosten wird Rombalds Moor durch die Städte Keighley, Bingley, Shipley und Guiseley begrenzt. Geschichte Ilkley Moor war bereits um 1800 v. Chr. besiedelt. Aus dieser Zeit stammen auch die Felsritzungen im Ilkley Moor, eine ausschließlich in dieser Region vorkommende Variante der Cup-and-Ring-Markierungen. Tourismus Ilkley Moor liegt nicht weit von dichtbesiedelten Gegenden und ist wandertechnisch gut erschlossen. Daher stellt es ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel dar. Etliche eindrucksvolle Felsformationen, etwa das Felsenpaar Cow and Calf oder der Pancake Stone, sind zu Fuß ohne Anstrengung erreichbar. „On Ilkla Moor Baht ’at“ Ilkley Moor ist der Schauplatz der „inoffiziellen Nationalhymne“ Yorkshires On Ilkla Moor Baht ’at (Yorkshire-Dialekt, auf Deutsch: „Auf Ilkley Moor ohne Hut“). Der Text malt mit schwarzem Humor aus, wie sich jemand auf Ilkley Moor ohne Kopfbedeckung den Tod holt und dann auf Umwegen (über die Nahrungskette - Wurm und Ente) von seinen Freunden verzehrt wird, und wurde der Überlieferung nach von Angehörigen eines Kirchenchores nach einem Ausflug in das kühle und windige Hochland verfasst: Weblinks On Ilkla Moor Baht ’At, vollständiger Text des Volksliedes bei lyricsplayground.com
Ilkley Moor

Ilkley Moor fait partie de Rombalds Moor, une lande s'étendant entre Ilkley et Keighley dans le West Yorkshire, en Angleterre. La lande, qui culmine à 402 m d'altitude, est connue comme étant l'inspiration de « l'hymne du comté » du Yorkshire On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at (dialecte pour « Sur Ilkley Moor sans chapeau »). Géologie Pendant la période carbonifère (il y a 325 millions d'années), Ilkley Moor faisait partie d'une zone marécageuse au niveau de la mer alimentée par des canaux fluviaux sinueux venant du nord. Les couches des faces érodées des berges des ravins des cours d'eau de la région représentent le niveau de la mer avec diverses marées déposant différentes sortes de sédiments. Pendant une longue période, les sédiments ont été cimentés et compactés en couches de roche dure. Les forces géologiques ont soulevé et incliné les strates un peu vers le sud-est, produisant de nombreuses petites fractures ou failles. Depuis la fin du Carbonifère, plus d'un millier de mètres de roches houillères ont été complètement enlevés de la région par l'érosion. Au cours du dernier million d'années, les glaciers de la période glaciaire ont modifié la forme de la vallée de Wharfe, l'approfondissant, la lissant et laissant derrière eux des débris glaciaires. Le « grain de meule (en) » donne non seulement du caractère à la ville d'Ilkley, mais donne à la région ses sols acides, ses landes de bruyère, son eau douce et ses figures rocheuses. Histoire Au nord, là où la lande descend à pic vers le village de Ben Rhydding, un satellite de la ville d'Ilkley, se trouvent deux zones d'escalade de roche meulière : Rocky Valley et Ilkley Quarry. Ilkley Quarry est le site du célèbre Cow and Calf (la vache et le veau), une grande formation rocheuse composée d'un affleurement (la vache) et d'un rocher qui s'en est détaché (le veau). Ces rochers, également connus sous le nom de Hangingstone Rocks, sont faits de gravier de meulière, une variété de grès. La légende raconte qu'il y avait autrefois aussi un "taureau", mais dont la pierre a été exploitée pendant le boom de la ville thermale dont Ilkley faisait partie au XIXe siècle. Cependant, aucun des historiens locaux n'a fourni de preuve de l'existence de ce taureau. Selon la légende, le veau a été séparé de la vache lorsque le géant Rombald, fuyant un ennemi, a piétiné le rocher alors qu'il bondissait à travers la vallée. L'ennemi, dit-on, était sa femme en colère. Elle a laissé tomber les pierres tenues dans sa jupe pour former la formation rocheuse locale The Skirtful of Stones. En juillet 2006, un incendie majeur sur la lande en a détruit entre un quart et la moitié. Certaines séquences de Gunpowder (2017), une série télévisée de la BBC, ont été tournées à Ilkley Moor.

Ilkley Moor

Ilkley Moor è una parte di Rombalds Moor, la brughiera che si estende in Inghilterra, nel West Yorkshire, tra Ilkley e Keighley. Si trova a 402 metri sul livello del mare. Ilkley Moor è conosciuta sia per avere ispirato la canzone popolare On Ilkla Moor Baht, inno non ufficiale dello Yorkshire, sia per le formazioni rocciose che sorgono nella zona e vengono utilizzate per l'arrampicata sportiva. Luoghi di interesse A nord, vicino alla località di Ben Rhyddind (villaggio satellite della città di Ilkley), si trova Ilkley Quarry, sito della famosa formazione rocciosa Cow and Calf (mucca e vitello). Questa formazione è chiamata così perché è composta da due rocce, una più grande e una più piccola vicino ad essa; l'aspetto delle due rocce ricorda una mucca accanto ad un vitello. Secondo una leggenda locale esisteva una terza roccia chiamata Bull (toro) che venne distrutta per ricavarne pietre da costruzione, ma sui documenti storici locali non c'è alcuna conferma dell'esistenza di questa terza roccia. A Woodhouse Crag, presso il margine settentrionale di Ilkley Moor, si trova la Swastika Stone, una roccia con l'incisione rupestre di una svastica. Il disegno di questa svastica assomiglia alla rosa camuna scolpita su incisioni rupestri presenti in Italia.

Илкли Мур

Илкли Мур (енгл. Ilkley Moor) је вресиште на западу западног Јоркшира. Највиши врх је висок 402 метра изнад нивоа мора. Геологија Током периода карбона (пре 325 милиона година), Илкли Мур је био део мочварног подручја у којем су текле реке које су се на северу уљевале у море. Током дугог временског периода седименти су стварали тешке стене. Од краја времена карбона дошло је до ерозије и више од хиљаду метара стена је потпуно уклоњена из подручја. Ванземаљско виђење 1. децембра 1987. пензионисани полицајац је фотографисао крајолик. Након што је направио пар фотографија видео је да је неко у близини. Када је пошао да види ко је то наводно је видео мало зелено биће. Рекао је да је било високо око 1,2 метра, да је имало три велика прста на рукама и да има шпицасте уши. Када га је биће видело почело је да бежи а он је успео да га фотографише. Након што га је фотографисао биће је брзо побегло иза једног брежуљка. Након тога је полицајац видео чудни предмет у облику тањира који је одлетео, и биће је нестало. На фотографији се види чудно биће које изгледа баш онако како га је он описао. Фотографи нису сигурни да ли је на слици прави ванземаљац или је то лутка. Референце Спољашње везе "Ilkley Moor", Ilkley-town.co.uk. Friends of Ilkley Moor web site, Ilkleymoor.org
Mersey Forest

The Mersey Forest is a network of woodlands and green spaces being created across Merseyside and North Cheshire by a wide-ranging partnership of different organisations including local authorities, community groups and businesses. The Mersey Forest is the biggest of twelve community forests covering 420 square miles (1,100 km2) and accessible to a local population of 1.6 million people. It stretches from Sefton to the north of Liverpool and south to Northwich in Cheshire. Delamere Forest in the south of the area being the largest area of established woodland. The forest is seen as having a major role in attracting new business and tourism to the area. In common with the other community forests, it is not a contiguous area of forest, but rather an initiative to increase forestry coverage in an area close to urban communities. An example of this at work is Griffin Wood, clearly visible from the M62 just to the south of St. Helens. This woodland was established in 2007, including Scott's Copse, planted in recognition of the work done by David Scott. It is one of the areas where trees where planted by Team Trees. The forest falls within the area of the proposed Northern Forest. References External links Official website
Mersey Gateway Bridge

Il Mersey Gateway Bridge è un ponte strallato a pedaggio che attraversa il fiume Mersey e il canale marittimo di Manchester ed unisce le località di Runcorn e Widnes, nel Cheshire. Storia Nel 1961 fu aperto il primo ponte stradale tra Runcorn e Widnes che sostituì il ponte trasportatore Widnes-Runcorn, un ponte trasportatore a vapore del XIX secolo. Con il progressivo aumento dei volumi traffico divenne necessario un secondo ponte che liberasse dal traffico l'area di Runcorn. Nel 2001 Ramboll è stato nominato consulente tecnico capo del progetto. Ha lavorato come parte di un team di consulenti tecnici composto da CH2M, Ramboll, IBI e Knight Architects, per supportare il Mersey Gateway Crossings Board con l'amministrazione tecnica e contrattuale del progetto e per aiutarlo ad adempiere ai suoi obblighi contrattuali. A giugno 2010 il progetto è stato sospeso in attesa dell'esito della Spending Review del Tesoro. Nell'ottobre 2010 è stato confermato dal cancelliere George Osborne che il piano da 431 milioni di sterline sarebbe andato avanti. Come parte del budget 2014, Osborne ha annunciato una garanzia di 270 milioni di sterline per il progetto. I lavori di costruzione sono iniziati il 7 maggio 2014 e il ponte è stato aperto al traffico poco dopo la mezzanotte del 14 ottobre 2017. L'inaugurazione ufficiale è avvenuta il 14 giugno 2018 alla presenza della regina Elisabetta II. Descrizione Il ponte presenta tre singole torri disposte che sostengono l'armamento ad arpa. Le tre torri hanno altezze diverse: un pilone centrale di 80 m (260 piedi), un pilone di 110 m (360 piedi) sul lato nord e un pilone di 125 m (410 piedi) sud.[5] La campata totale strallata è di 998 metri, composta da due campate principali di 318 metri e 294 metri e due campate laterali di 205 metri e 181 metri. La lunghezza totale della struttura, compresi i viadotti di avvicinamento, è di 2,3 km. L'impalcato è realizzato in cemento armato con una distanza massima di 23 m sopra il fiume.

Merton Abbey Mills

Merton Abbey Mills is a former textile factory in the parish of Merton in London, England near the site of the medieval Merton Priory, now the home of a variety of businesses, mostly retailers. The River Wandle flowing north towards Wandsworth drove watermills and provided water for a number of industrial processes in Merton. Merton Abbey Mills were established by Huguenot silk throwers in the early eighteenth century; there were already textile works nearby from 1667, including those that became the Merton Abbey Works, site of design firm Morris & Co. from 1881 to 1940. Liberty & Co. had been involved with the site since the 19th century, as their popular ranges of fabrics for dress and furniture were nearly all made there by Littler and Co. In 1904 Liberty & Co took over the Littler site. They continued to operate the Merton Abbey Mills until 1972, and textile production was continued by other firms until 1982. During World War II part of the site was used to construct gun-turrets for the Bristol Blenheim fighter-bomber. Today Merton Abbey Mills is a crafts market and the site of a summer theatre and music festival called Abbeyfest. A number of buildings from the Liberty period, and even earlier, survive, and there are displays on the history of the site. A water-mill still turns in the summer, and the "colourhouse", a mid-18th century industrial building, is now a children's theatre. The water-mill and colour house are both Grade II listed buildings.

Methodist Central Hall, Birmingham

The Methodist Central Hall, at 196–224 Corporation Street, Birmingham, England, is a three-storey red brick and terracotta Grade II* listed building with a distinctive tower at the northern end of Corporation Street. History The building was designed by Ewan Harper and James A. Harper in the Gothic Revival style, built in red brick and terracotta and completed in 1904. The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage of 13 bays facing onto Corporation Street. It was built with a tall tower in the centre of the structure, with five bays to the left, and seven to the right, and shop fronts on the ground floor. The design complemented the Victoria Law Courts opposite, also in terracotta, and included eclectic details such as the corner turrets resembling Indian chattris. It is located within the Steelhouse Conservation Area. The terracotta was manufactured by the renowned firm of Gibbs and Canning of Tamworth, which also produced decorative works for 179-203 Corporation Street and the interior of the Victoria Law Courts in Birmingham and the Natural History Museum in London. The main hall seated 2,000 and it had more than 30 other rooms, including three school halls. It cost £96,165. In 1991, the Methodist church was converted into the Que Club, a nightclub and music venue; however, since its closure in 2002, the building fell empty and was poorly maintained. Currently it is only partially in use and its deteriorating condition has led to it being listed on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register. The building has been the subject of various proposals for conversion to apartments and offices. In 2018 Birmingham City Council approved plans to restore and renovate the building including a 147-bed hotel. In July 2022, it was announced that Press Up Entertainment, would begin converting the building into a 150 bedroom hotel and event space following a grant of planning permission. The building will be renamed The Dean Hotel as part of the renovation. In May 2025, the Victorian Society included the building in its list of the 10 most endangered buildings in the country.
