Cwm Dyli

Cwm Dyli is the location of a hydro-electric power station on the southern flank of the Snowdon range in North Wales. At the time it was built, it was the largest hydro-electric power station in the United Kingdom. It is Britain's oldest power station, and is believed to be one of the oldest Grid-connected hydro-electric stations in the world. History The station was built in 1905 by the Porthmadog, Beddgelert and South Snowdon Railway company, backed by North Wales Power and Traction Co Ltd to supply electricity to its own electric railway and connected slate quarries and mines. The railway was planned to run through the same valley as the power station and be fed with an electrical feeder, but the enterprise ran short of funds and the attempt was abandoned. The company was renamed the North Wales Power Company Limited. In August 1906, power from Cwm Dyli was used to power the Oakeley Quarry in Blaenau Ffestiniog carried over the Crimea Pass by a long overhead transmission line at 10,000 volts. It also supplied Dinorwic and Pen-yr-Orsedd quarries. Cwm Dyli was claimed to be the largest electricity generating plant of its kind in Great Britain at the time. Electricity produced here was also used to power the Carnarvon Long Wave Wireless Telegraph transmitting station built by Marconi in 1913–14 near Waunfawr. Supplying power directly to the National Grid, it is Britain's oldest power station, and is believed to be one of the oldest Grid-connected hydro-electric stations in the world. It was first commissioned in 1906 and has been in fairly continuous operation since then, although it was closed for upgrading in 1990. A single turbine now produces up to 9.8 megawatts (MW). Known locally as the "Chapel in the valley", on account of its exterior design, it employed 13 men. Today, however, it is controlled remotely from Dolgarrog in the Conwy valley. Water for the site primarily comes from Llyn Llydaw, some 320 metres above the power station, where rainfall is very high. The water is carried from the lake through a tunnel and two 30-inch (0.762 m) diameter, 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) long pipelines. The pipeline featured briefly in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough. Technical details The generating equipment at Cwm Dyli up to 1989 comprised: 2 × Ganz Pelton wheels 2 × Boving Pelton wheels, together these aggregated a capacity of 900 horse power (6.619 MW) The four wheels drove: 1 × 1 MW Bruce Peebles alternator 1 × 1.5 MW Bruce Peebles alternator 1 × 3 MW Bruce Peebles alternator The total electricity generating capacity was 6.5 MW, at 10 kV.

Cwmcarn High School

Cwmcarn High School was a school in the village of Cwmcarn, in South East Wales. The school taught years 7–13. There were approximately 400 students attending CHS, including the 6th form, prior to its closure. This represented a considerable decrease in numbers since 2012. The school was closed for over a year in 2012 due to asbestos fears. Due to this and the ever-falling school roll, it was confirmed by Caerphilly County Borough Council that the school would close in 2018. Cwmcarn High served an area of established housing within a former mining village, but it also had drawn pupils from further afield, such as from the nearby city of Newport. Following the reorganisation of the school's status in September 1999, it became a foundation school. A sixth form was established in 1997 with 17 students, and by 2006 served 150+ students. Approximately 98% of the pupils came from local primary schools. The remainder came from schools beyond the immediate neighbourhood. Almost all of the pupils came from semi-rural areas similar to the village that serves the school. The school officially closed in July 2018. The school will be demolished to build a new building for the nearby Welsh School Ysgol Gymraeg Cwm Gwyddon. References Cwmcarn High School at cwmcarnhigh.co.uk [1] [2]

Cyfarthfa Castle

Cyfarthfa Castle (walisisk: Castell Cyfarthfa) er en borglignende herregård der var hjem for Crawshay-familien, der ejede Cyfarthfa Ironworks i Park, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Huset er anlagt i 1824 med udsigt over dalen og jernværkerne. Cyfarthfa kan løst oversættes fra walisisk til stedet for gøen, og navnet kommer af, at der tidligere har været mange jagthunde i byen, som blev brugt til at jage væsler og lignende. Selvom bygningen har krenelering i borgstil, så har bygningen et stort køkken, baghus, billiardrum, bibliotek og andre faciliteter.

Cottage Hospital, Monmouth

The Cottage Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Bwthyn, Trefynwy) was a community hospital on the Hereford Road in Monmouth, Wales. History The Cottage Hospital was commissioned to replace the aging Monmouth Hospital and Dispensary in St James Square. The proposed site, which had been previously occupied by the Monmouth County Gaol, was bought from the Duke of Beaufort for £250. The foundation stone was laid by Lord Llangattock, President of the Hospital Board, on 27 September 1902. The hospital was designed by Richard Creed, built by Collins and Geoffrey and furnished by George Edwards of Monmouth. The construction cost was around £7,500 of which £2,000 was donated by Lord Llangattock. The designer had to agree with the local vicar that the building would not obstruct the latter's view from the vicarage. According to Keith Kissack the new hospital was "one of the most successful building projects of the period in Monmouth". The opening ceremony for the hospital was held on 6 November 1903 and started with a procession at 3pm from the earlier Dispensary in St James Square, led by the Monmouth Fire and Rescue Station and by Hamilton Traherne Baillie, Mayor of Monmouth. A crowd of around a 1,000 gathered at the site for the opening. After services transferred to the Monnow Vale Integrated Health and Social Care Facility, the Cottage Hospital closed in 2006. Notes
Régi kórház (Monmouth)

A monmouthi régi kórház (angolul: Former Cottage Hospital) a walesi város első tulajdonképpeni kórháza volt. 1903 és 2006 között üzemelt. Története A kórházat az egykori megyei fegyház (angolul: County Gaol) helyén építették fel, a Hereford Road-on. Az alapkövet 1902. szeptember 27-én tette Llangattock bárója, a kórház elnöke. A telket Beaufort hercegétől vásárolták kétszázötven fontért. Az épületet Richard Creed tervezte. A munkálatok elvégzésével a Collins and Geoffrey céget bízták meg, a bútorozással pedig a helyi George Edwardszot A megépítés teljes költsége 7500 font körül volt, ebből 2000 fontot Llangatock bárója adományozott. Az új kórház megépítésének egyetlen feltétele az volt, hogy ne zavarja meg az épület mögött lakó plébános kilátását. Keith Kissack helytörténész szerint a kórház „idejének egyik legsikeresebb projektje volt”. A kórházat 1903. november 6-án nyitották meg. A ceremónia délután kezdődött egy felvonulással, amely a korábbi egészségügyi intézményétől indult (The Dispensary). A felvonulás élén a helyi tűzoltók vonultak valamint a város polgármestere, Hamilton Traherne Baillie. A megnyitás ünneplésére több mint százan sereglettek össze. Az épületet 2006-ban zárták be, amikor megnyitották az új városi kórházat. A tervek szerint az épületet lakóházzá alakítják át.

33 Whitecross Street

A Whitecross Street 33. szám alatt álló épület a walesi város, Monmouth egyik műemléke. Leírása Az épület az egykori városfalakon belül épült fel a Whitecross Street keleti végén, ahol az utca beletorkollik a St. James’s Square-be. A walesi műemlék-nyilvántartó királyi bizottság alternatív címként a St. James’ Square 33.-at is használja. Az épületből kiváló kilátás nyílik a vasráccsal elkerített szivarfára, ami a tér és egyben Monmouth egyik látványossága. Az épületet 2008. február 20-án nyilvánította műemlékké a Cadw. Apna Gir néven brit műemlék épületként (British Listed Building) is nyilván van tartva 1974. augusztus 15. óta. Az épület egy háromszintes első és egy kétszintes hátsó traktusból áll. Főhomlokzata szimmetrikus kialakítású. Kiemelkedő építészeti elemei az előtetős bejárat, valamint a bal oldalán lévő utcára kiugró ablakfülke. Palatető fedi. Valószínűleg a 18. században épült. 2009 januárjában a városi tanács engedélyezte az épület bővítését egy hátsó szárnnyal, viszont csak megfelelő régészeti előtanulmány elkészítése után. A régészeti feltárások során újkőkorszaki, római kori és középkori leletekre bukkantak az épülethez tartozó telken.

Ddol Uchaf

Ddol Uchaf (also known as Y Ddol Uchaf) is a Site of Special Scientific Interest located near Ysceifiog, Flintshire, Wales. It has been selected as an SSSI due to the unique wildlife and organisms around the area. Wildlife Ddol Uchaf was designated as an SSSI because of its wildlife, grassland and soils. In particular, it is notable for hosting three species of newt (great crested newt, palmate newt and smooth newt) and being one of very few sites with a population of hazel dormice. Many plants including common spotted orchid are found on the site. Several insect species have been recorded, including 12 species of dragonfly. There have been 93 recorded species of birds in the area, including carrion crow, lesser whitethroat, and sedge warbler. The site is also known for its tufa limestone, which supports many of the animals living in the site and has formed many ponds. The site is one of only two sites in the UK where the fungus gnat Boletina nasuta has been recorded . History Ddol Uchaf means "Upper Meadow". The site was mentioned in 1647 as Ddol y Person. In 1657 it was referred to as Ddol Uchaf. The site was quarried for tufa and marl during the Second World War. After the war, the site was abandoned until 1965 when it was purchased by the North Wales Naturalist Trust as a nature reserve. References
Cornwall House

Cornwall House ist ein Gebäude in 58 Monnow Street in Monmouth in der Grafschaft Monmouthshire in Wales, Vereinigtes Königreich. Es stammt teilweise aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, wurde jedoch in mehreren Stufen später neugebaut. Es wurde in The Buildings of Wales als „das beeindruckendste Haus in der Straße“ beschrieben. Das Bauwerk war das Stadthaus der Familie Llangattock und ist nun Sitz der Zeitung Monmouthshire Beacon. Das Gebäude kann mehrfach im Jahresverlauf von der Öffentlichkeit besichtigt werden. Geschichte Das Haus wurde in mehreren Etappen erbaut. 1678 war es als Great House bekannt und war im Besitz von George Milborne; 1699 gehört es Thomas Brewer. Der Bevollmächtigte des Duke of Beaufort, Henry Burgh, erwarb es später. Auf ihn geht der Bau der Fassade im Queen Anne Style zurück, der den Feldern von Chippenham zugewandt ist, also an der heutigen Rückseite des Hauses. Die steinernen Zierelemente der Fassade sind Kalkfarbe geweißelt und überlagern den größten Teil der hauptsächlich aus roten Backsteinen gemauerten Mauern. Eine Inschrift an der Außenseite nennt als Baudatum dieses Teils der Fassade das Jahr 1752. Der abgekapselte, von einer Mauer umgebene Garden an der Rückseite de Hauses beinhaltete ursprünglich eine Tribüne, von der aus der Herzog die Pferderennen auf den Feldern Chippenhams verfolgte. Die Vorderseite des Hauses liegt heute an der Monnow Street. Diese Fassade ist an dieser Seite im georgianischen Stil gestaltet und umfasst zwei Stockwerke und eine Attika; das Gebäude steht von der Straße zurückgesetzt, hinter einem von einem Zaun umgebenen Vorhof. Eine neue Vorderfront und etwas später ein Vorbau, die Seitenlichter und die seitlichen Türen wurden Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts hinzugefügt. Im Innern des Gebäudes sind die ursprünglichen Treppenhäuser noch vorhanden, und es gibt einen offener Kamin in Adamstil mit geschnitztem Holz. Das Gebäude wurde 1952 von Cadw im Grade II* auf die Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest gesetzt. Eine Tafel an der Vorderseite des Hauses, die auf 1837 datiert ist, bezieht sich auf die in dem Jahr gegründete Monmouthshire Beacon. Die Zeitung bezog das Gebäude im Jahr 1987 zum 150-jährigen Jubiläum ihrer Gründung. Belege
