Cardiff Market

Cardiff Market (Welsh: Marchnad Caerdydd), also known as Cardiff Central Market (Welsh: Marchnad Ganolog Caerdydd) and as the Market Building, is a Victorian indoor market in the Castle Quarter of Cardiff city centre, capital city of Wales. Background Originally the site of Cardiff jail, the gallows were located on the site of the current St. Mary Street entrance, where Dic Penderyn was hanged on 13 August 1831. The market was designed by the Borough Surveyor, William Harpur, and opened in May 1891. A farmers' market is known to have existed at the site since the 18th century. The market consists of two shopping levels, a ground floor and a balcony level which wraps around the market exterior walls on the interior. Entrances to the market are located at St. Mary Street, Trinity Street and from an alleyway off Church Street. A large H. Samuel clock has hung above the High Street entrance since 1910. The current clock dates from 1963 (by Smith of Derby) and was restored at a cost of £25,000 in 2011. Since 1975 the building has been listed and is currently Grade II*. Stallholders The market has 61 independent businesses, including greengrocers, clothing, music, and hardware stalls. A trader of note is Ashton's the fishmongers, who claim to have traded in the market since 1866 at the Trinity Street entrance selling a wide range of fresh seafood. In 2012 they hit the headlines when they sold meat from a 20 foot long 550 lb thresher shark. Another longstanding trader is The Market Deli, a small, family-run business trading for over 100 years, located at the same stall since 1928. 2024 Renovation £6.5 million will be spent on renovating the market in 2024. Work is expected to start in the summer of 2024, but the market will remain open throughout the renovation works. Stallholders will be temporarily moved to units in The Hayes, directly outside the market, for up to 12 weeks. As part of the development, there will be a dining area with 70 seats and the roof and original windows of the Victorian building will be restored. Both the Trinity Street and St Mary Street traditional entrances, the original stalls, the roof and original windows will be restored and improvements made to the Victorian drainage system. Glazing and tiles will be replaced and the H Samuel market clock will be repaired. The market will also get a new activity and education room.

Cardiff Roman Fort

Cardiff Roman Fort was a coastal fort in the Roman province of Britannia Superior, of which Roman Wales was a part. Its original Latin name is uncertain. Its remains are incorporated into Cardiff Castle in the modern capital city of Wales. Name The fort's name is uncertain. It could have been Tamium as appears in the Ravenna Cosmography, although this may have been a river name and thus refers to the River Taff. Alternatively it may be Bovium (corrected from Bomio) of the Antonine Itinerary. Early forts Prior to the building of the extant fort, there were at least two previous Roman forts on the site. The first was probably a vexillation camp built during attempted conquest of the Silures tribe around AD 55. About twenty years later, after a period of abandonment, a new smaller Roman auxiliary fort was constructed and was possibly occupied, along with a civilian vicus, until the reign of the Emperor Hadrian. From the late 2nd to the mid-3rd century, civilian timber buildings associated with iron working occupied the site. Carausian shore fort Around 290, a 9-acre (3.57 hectare) shore fort was built on the site, not unlike the almost complete example at Portchester in Hampshire. Its walls were ten feet thick and it was positioned to control access to the upper reaches of the River Severn. There may have been associated watch towers on the now eroded cliffs to the west. This is believed to have been the Emperor Carausius' response to increased Irish raids. Its military/naval force eventually moved elsewhere about 370. Post-Roman legends The ruinous fort appears as the residence of 'King Ynwyl' in the story of Geraint and Enid, a medieval romance associated with the Mabinogion. Geraint was possibly a late 5th-century King of Dumnonia. References Notes Bibliography External links Cardiff Roman Fort on the Roman Britain website Aerial photo of the site taken in 1988

Cardiff United Synagogue

The Cardiff United Synagogue, also called the Cardiff Shul, is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, located in Cyncoed Gardens, in the Cyncoed suburb of Cardiff, Wales, in the United Kingdom. The synagogue maintains daily prayer services, led by Rabbi Michoel Rose. The synagogue also provides educational classes, youth and festivals programming and is instrumental in interfaith work in South Wales. History A Jewish community existed in Cardiff by 1841, when the Marquess of Bute donated land at Highfield for a Jewish cemetery. The congregation that is now established in Cyncoed is the result of the merger of several historic congregations, and can trace its roots to the Old Hebrew Congregation, which erected a synagogue building on Trinity Street in 1853, and to the Bute Street synagogue of 1858. Bute Street was the centre of the Jewish community in the nineteenth century. Former locations and ancestral congregations in Cardiff include the following: Original (Old Hebrew) congregation: Trinity Street, Cardiff (1853–1858) East Terrace, Bute Street, Cardiff (1858–1897; redeveloped 1888) Cathedral Road, Cardiff (1897–1989) New (Orthodox) congregation: Edwards Place, Cardiff (1889–1900) Merches Place, Cardiff (1900–?) Windsor Place congregation, Windsor Place, Cardiff (1918–1955) Penylan congregation, Ty Gwyn Road, Penylan (1955–2003) The most architecturally distinguished of the several historic synagogue buildings was the classical/eclectic synagogue in Windsor Place. One of the congregation's former buildings was purchased in 1979 and converted into a Hindu temple. With the diminution of the Cardiff Jewish community and a drift away from the older neighbourhoods, these congregations consolidated in the present, modern building in Cyncoed Gardens, Cyncoed, dedicated by Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks in 2003.

Carmel transmitting station

The Carmel transmitting station, located half a mile (0.8km) SSW of the village of Carmel in Carmarthenshire, has been broadcasting terrestrial TV and radio services since the mid-1970s. The TV coverage area for the Carmel transmission station includes most of Carmarthenshire, the southern and eastern parts of Pembrokeshire; the southern fringes of Powys and Ceredigion; the northern part of Swansea. The Carmel signal is also receivable in parts of Neath Port Talbot, Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff. Places as far away as Merthyr Tydfil and the north Devon coast are also able to receive signals from Carmel. Carmel started to switch over to digital terrestrial TV broadcast services on 26 August 2009. Services available Analogue television 21 May 1973 - 1 November 1982 Carmel never did broadcast VHF television, and went live with the UK's three national UHF television services. 1 November 1982 - 15 November 1998 The UK's fourth national television service joined the set transmitted from the site. Being in Wales, the S4C variant was broadcast. Analogue and digital television 15 November 1998 - 26 August 2009 The initial rollout of digital television in the UK involved radiating the signals at low power in between the existing analogue channels. 26 August 2009 - 23 September 2009 The UK's digital switchover commenced at this site. Analogue BBC2 Wales closed on channel 63 and HTV took over on that frequency for what would be its final 3 weeks of service, vacating channel 60 as it did so. The new BBC A multiplex started up at full power in 64-QAM mode on channel 60 (which just had been Vacated by Analogue HTV Wales) and Mux 1 on channel 55 closed. Digital television 23 September 2009 - may 2013 All the analogue television services closed and the new digital multiplexes took over their frequencies (and two new ones) with name-changes, power increases and a shift to 64-QAM. May 2013 As a side-effect of frequency-changes elsewhere in the region to do with clearance of the 800 MHz band for 4G mobile phone use, Carmel's "Arqiva B" multiplex will have to be moved from channel 61 to channel 49 and the "BBC A" multiplex will get a negative offset.

Carn Fadryn

Carn Fadryn, sometimes Carn Fadrun or Garn Fadryn, is a five-hectare Iron Age hillfort and is the name of the mountain on which the fort is situated. It lies in the centre of the Llŷn Peninsula, Gwynedd, and overlooks the village of Garnfadryn, Wales. There seems to be two phases of ancient hillfort building on Carn Fadryn, followed by a medieval fortification of the summit. The first period of fortification at Garn Fadryn dates from about 300 BC, when the summit and an area of some 12 acres (49,000 m2) were enclosed. These were re-fortified during a second period and a wider area towards the north of a total of about 26 acres (110,000 m2) was enclosed. This second period of reinforcement dates from about 100 BC. The third fort which strengthens the natural crag near the summit is thought to be "the castle of the sons of Owain", mentioned in 1188 as being newly built. (Giraldi Cambrensis Opera (Rolls series, 1868), VI, p123 'dua castra lapidea de nova sita fuerunt; unum...Deutrait; alterum...in capite Lhein, quod erat filium Oenei, cui nomen Karnmadrun.') The medieval castle was built on the highest part of the summit, and was one of the earliest Welsh castles, symbolising power following the death of Prince Owain Gwynedd and the division of his land between his sons. On a clear day, the view from Garn Fadryn takes in Anglesey, Snowdonia, most of Cardigan Bay and even the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland.
