Seabank Hotel

The Seabank Hotel is an historic hotel located in Porthcawl, southern Wales. The hotel is located on the corner of the front Esplanade and Picton Avenue overlooking the sea. The current building is dated to the mid-1930s. The distinctive white building with its red tiled roof, along with the Grand Pavilion several metres to the east, is one of the town's most prominent landmarks. The hotel has 89 rooms. History The hotel originally began around 1860 as a smaller building named the New House and was built by George Dement, an architect who designed John Street in Porthcawl. Around 1870, a larger house was built on the site and was named "The Seaview Bank". It was bought by the prominent Brogden family and John Brogden, an important figure in the town's development in the late 19th century (who gave his name to John Street) simplified the name to "Sea Bank House". This building was built with grey stonework and over time the building developed ivy on the walls around the French windows. It had a prominent Italianate style tower at the front and a quaint little garden was once located at the front side of the hotel. Around 1890, the family fell into financial difficulties and it became Porthcawl College in 1891 which was run by Reverend E.J. Newell of Oxford University until 1906. In 1907 creditors of the Brogden family, the owners of the building, called in their loans and it was bought by John Elias and others for conversion into a hotel. The Sea Bank Hotel opened in 1910. In the 1930s a new structure and modern concrete facade was built to and it was renamed the "Seabank Hydro" hotel. During World War II the hotel was used as a base by the military. In 1943, US troops of the 28th Infantry Division were stationed at the hotel, followed by the 75th Infantry Division in 1944 to train before the Battle of the Bulge. In 1945 the hotel underwent major refurbishment and again in the 1990s. Interior The hotel has 89 rooms and is listed by the AA as a 3-star hotel. The rooms range from single to twin and double rooms. All are en-suite and include breakfast. Historically the hotel has been used extensively for conferences and important business meetings but is now primarily a coaching hotel being part of the Leisureplex Hotels Ltd. The "Smuggler's Bar" is open to the public and seats up to 96 people overlooking the Bristol Channel with views towards Somerset and Devon. Lunch is served every day between 12.00 and 15.00.

Cardigan Bay (walisisk: Bae Ceredigion) er en stor bugt i det Irske Hav, der går ind i vestkysten af Wales mellem Bardsey Island, Gwynedd i nord og Strumble Head, Pembrokeshire i syd. Det er den største bug i Wales. Blandt de byer, som ligger ud til bugten er Fishguard, New Quay, Aberaeron, Llanon, Aberystwyth, Borth, Aberdyfi, Tywyn, Barmouth, Porthmadog, Criccieth og Pwllheli på jernbanestrækningen Cambrian Coast Line. Mindre landsbyer langs kysten tæller Cwmtydu, Nanternis og Llangrannog. Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Cardigan Bay

Als Cardigan Bay (walisisch: Bae Ceredigion oder Bae Aberteifi) bezeichnet man die Bucht am nördlichen Ausgang des St.-Georgs-Kanals von der Keltischen See hin zur Irischen See an der Westküste von Wales zwischen der Lleyn-Halbinsel und Pembrokeshire. Ihre Ausdehnung beträgt rund 100 km in nord-südlicher Länge und ca. 50 km in der Tiefe. Dort befinden sich verschiedene Seebäder: Aberystwyth, Aberporth, Fishguard, New Quay, Aberaeron, Aberdyfi, Barmouth oder Criccieth. Cardigan Bay verfügt über weiße Sandstrände, türkisfarbenes, klares Wasser und stellenweise Delphinbestände bei New Quay und Llangrannog. Deren Population teilt sich in zwei Gruppen und umfasst nach einer Zählung der University of Aberdeen 127 Tiere. Die überwiegende Umgebung der Bucht besteht aus fruchtbarem Farmland, einzelnen Marktflecken und kleineren Städten sowie den bereits erwähnten Seebädern. Verschiedene größere Flüsse münden in die Bucht: Teifi, Rheidol, Dyfi, Aeron, und Mawddach. Bis ins frühe 20. Jahrhundert hinein bildete die Bucht die Basis einer starken Werftindustrie. Cardigan, in der Nähe der Mündung des Teifi gelegen, war zeitweilig ein bedeutenderer Hafen als Cardiff. Die Cardigan Bay soll der Ort des legendären versunkenen walisischen Königreiches Cantre’r Gwaelod oder Maes Gwyddno sein, das oft als das walisische Atlantis bezeichnet wird.

Bahía de Cardigan

La bahía de Cardigan (Cardigan Bay en inglés; Bae Ceredigion en galés) es una gran ensenada situada en el mar de Irlanda que se adentra en la costa de Gales, Reino Unido, entre las penínsulas de Lleyn y Pembrokeshire. La bahía de Cardigan cuenta con numerosas playas y un hábitat marino único, haciendo que sea una de las más importantes zonas costeras de Gran Bretaña. Es posible observar delfines de nariz de botella y focas grises desde el sendero costero de Ceredigion. La mayor parte de la costa de la bahía es una zona de cultivo fértil, llena de pueblos y centros vacacionales costeros como Fishguard, New Quay, Aberaeron, Aberystwyth, Borth, Aberdyfi, Tywyn, Barmouth, Porthmadog y Pwllheli en la costa de Cambria. Los principales ríos que desembocan en la bahía incluyen al Afon Glaslyn, Teifi, Rheidol, Dyfi, Aeron, Dysynni y Mawddach. Hasta principios del siglo XX, la bahía de Cardigan mantenía una fuerte industria marítima. Cardigan se encuentra en la desembocadura del río Teifi, y durante un tiempo fue un puerto más importante que el de Cardiff. El legendario Cantre'r Gwaelod se encuentra en las zonas central y norte de la bahía.

Baie de Cardigan

La baie de Cardigan (en gallois : Bae Ceredigion, et en anglais : Cardigan Bay), est une baie de la mer d'Irlande et grande baie sur la côte ouest du pays de Galles qui s'étend de pointe de la péninsule de Llŷn au cap de St David's (Pembrokeshire), longeant la côte sud du Gwynedd et celle du Ceredigion. Forêt antique de Borth À l’âge du bronze, ce territoire était couvert d’une immense forêt qui s'avançait à l’ouest sur 30 kilomètres. Elle a pu dépendre du royaume légendaire de Cantre’r Gwaelod. Il y poussait des pins, des aulnes, des chênes et des bouleaux, dont des traces ont été révélées en 2014 par des tempêtes. Conservation Une zone spéciale de conservation, comprenant Cardigan Bay a été mise en place, pour préserver les espèces qui peuplent la baie. Parmi les espèces, on peut noter une population de grands dauphins importante. Ressources pétrolières et gazières La baie de Cardigan est le prolongement britannique du nord de la Mer celtique, qui possède deux gisements de gaz en exploitation. Le bassin comprend un graben de pendage sud-est, s'inclinant sous le littoral gallois, mais avec une structure interne plus composite en direction du sud-ouest. Les sédiments permiens à triasiques de ce bassin font moins de 3 000 m d'épaisseur et sont recouverts par 4 000 m de strates du Jurassique, et, au moins localement, par 2 000 m de sédiments fluvio-deltaïques du Paléogène. C'est un champ pétrolifère possédant des poches de gaz potentiellement exploitables au gisement de Dragon non loin de la ligne de partage des eaux UK/ROI, et on a détecté du pétrole dans trois autres puits. Plusieurs poches de pétrole sont accessibles : le Trias Inférieur (grès de Sherwood), les grès marins superficiels et les craies du Jurassique moyen (Grand Oolite), et enfin le grès fluvial du Jurassique Supérieur, qui est le gisement de Dragon proprement dit. Les roches promettant le plus d'hydrocarbures sont les mudstones marines du Jurassique inférieur. Elles se prêtent à l'extraction de pétrole à l'ouest du secteur britannique, et à l'extraction de gaz côté irlandais. Les fonds de la baie de Cardigan ont subi deux phases de plissage entraînant leur surrection au Tertiaire, après avoir été profondément enfouies au plus tard à la fin du Crétacé, ce qui a permis la formation primaire des hydrocarbures. Malgré sa structuration Tertiaire, le gisement du Dragon a montré que des volumes d'hydrocarbures intéressants devaient avoir été piégés au moins localement dans la Baie de Cardigan. En outre, ce bassin présente des caractéristiques favorables au piégeage stratigraphique d'hydrocarbures près des synclinaux sédimentaires, surtout dans les strates du Jurassique moyen.

Baia di Cardigan

La baia di Cardigan (in inglese Cardigan Bay, in gallese Bae Ceredigion o Bae Aberteifi) è un golfo del mare d'Irlanda in corrispondenza della costa occidentale del Galles. Geografia La baia è delimitata a nord dall'estremità della penisola di Lleyn ed a sud dalla penisola del Pembrokeshire fino al capo di Saint David. La baia ha circa 100 km di estensione da nord a sud ed un'ampiezza di circa 50 km. Nella baia sfociano diversi fiumi: Mawddach, Dyfi, Rheidol, Ystwyth, Aeron e Teifi. I principali centri che vi si affacciano sono: Fishguard, Cardigan, New Quay, Aberaeron, Aberystwyth, Aberdyfi, Barmouth, Porthmadog (con Tremadog), Tywyn e Pwllheli. Fauna Nella baia vive una popolazione di delfini (Tursiops truncatus) che vive stabilmente tra New Quay e Llangrannog. La popolazione è divisa in due gruppi che secondo una ricerca dell'Università di Aberdeen conta 127 esemplari. Lungo le coste della baia di Cardigan vive una grossa popolazione di foche grigie (Halichoerus grypus). Tra le specie ittiche che vivono nella baia sono da ricordare la lampreda di fiume (Lampetra fluviatilis) e la lampreda di mare (Petromyzon marinus). Leggenda Secondo una leggenda nell'area centro-nord della baia era ubicato il regno di Cantre'r Gwaelod (The Lowland Hundred in inglese) ora sommerso dal mare. La canzone Bells of Aberdyfi trova ispirazione da questo mondo sommerso.

Cardigan Bay

Cardigan Bay (Welsh: Bae Ceredigion) is een grote inham van de Ierse Zee aan de westelijke kust van Wales. De baai ligt ingesloten tussen Gwynedd en Ynys Enlli (Engels: Bardsey Island) in het noorden en Strumble Head in Pembrokeshire in het zuiden. Het is de grootste baai van Wales. Aan de baai liggen plaatsen als Fishguard, New Quay, Aberaeron, Llanon, Aberystwyth, Borth, Aberdyfi, Tywyn, Barmouth, Porthmadog en Pwllheli. Onder meer de Teifi en de Aeron monden uit in de baai. Het meeste kustgebied rondom de baai is vruchtbaar landbouwgrond. De baai heeft talrijke stranden en een unieke mariene fauna met onder meer tuimelaars, bruinvissen en Atlantische grijze zeehonden. Hier bevinden zich het grootste aantal tuimelaars in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Tot in het begin van de 20e eeuw kende Cardigan Bay een sterke maritieme industrie. Het stadje Cardigan aan de monding van de Teifi (vandaar de Welshe naam Aberteifi oftewel "Monding van de Teifi") was in de 19e eeuw een prominente haven, die bovendien groter was dan de haven van Cardiff. In die tijd waren er immers meer dan 300 schepen geregistreerd in Cardigan, hetgeen die van Cardiff zevenmaal overtrof en die van Swansea driemaal. Het centrale en noordelijke gedeelte van de baai herbergt volgens de legende het gezonken koninkrijk van Cantre'r Gwaelod, oftewel de "Honderden Laaglanden".

Kathedraal van Llandaff

De kathedraal van Llandaff is een kathedraal van de Kerk in Wales in het district Llandaff van Cardiff, Wales. De kathedraal is de zetel van de bisschop van Llandaff. Cardiff kent een ook een rooms-katholieke kathedraal. Geschiedenis De kathedraal werd in de 12e eeuw gebouwd op een bestaande kerk. Door de opstand van Owain Glyndŵr raakte het gebouw beschadigd, waardoor herstelwerk nodig was. Tijdens de Engelse Burgeroorlog werd de kathedraal aangevallen door troepen van het parlement. In 1703 raakte het gebouw nog verder beschadigd tijdens een stormvloed. De staat van de kathedraal was vervolgens dusdanig slecht dat er begonnen werd aan de bouw van een nieuwe kathedraal. Dat gebouw zou echter niet lang gebruikt worden en er is nog maar weinig van over. In de 19e eeuw werd de kathedraal hersteld en er werd een torenspits toegevoegd. Nog was de ellende niet over voor de kathedraal, want in de Tweede Wereldoorlog raakte het gebouw weer zwaar beschadigd. Enkel de kathedraal van Coventry raakte tijdens de oorlog zwaarder beschadigd in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. In 1958 kon het gebouw weer in gebruik worden genomen. Externe link Officiële website
Shire Hall, Newport

The Shire Hall (Welsh: Neuadd y Sir, Casnewydd) is a municipal building in Newport, south Wales. It is a Grade II listed building. History Following the implementation of the Local Government Act 1888, which established county councils in every county, it became necessary to establish a permanent meeting place for the newly formed Monmouthshire County Council. The site selected by county leaders was open land to the west of Queen's Hill in Newport. The building, which was designed by the county architect, William Tanner, opened as the "County Council Offices" in 1902. The design for the original two-storey structure involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Pentonville with the end bays slightly projected forward; the central section, which also slightly projected forward, featured a porch with a curved pediment; there was triple window on the first floor and gable above with a roundel containing the words: "Monmouthshire County Council 1889". Cadw, has described it as an "impressively-designed Edwardian civic building". An extra bay to the right, an extra three bays to the left and an extra storey on top of the building were all added in 1913. The Queen's Chambers to the right were also remodelled and given an extra floor at that time and an octagonal shaped council chamber was subsequently built to the rear of the main building. The county council continued to meet at the Shire Hall until the county council was abolished in 1974. The building continued to be used by the local council as workspace until 1978 and then remained empty until 2012. In May 2011 SK Design submitted plans to convert the building into 20 flats; this proposal was subsequently modified to 19 flats but the proposal did not come to fruition. In May 2013, the hall was sold to Secret Millionaire Jahan Abedi who submitted plans to convert the building into 11 one-bedroom apartments and seven two-bedroom flats with a reception area and a bicycle storage area. Abedi was later quite critical of the bureaucratic challenges he had needed to overcome to obtain a planning consent. Nevertheless, he secured funding from Finance Wales and completed the development in 2014. References
