Підвісний міст через Менай

Підвісний міст через Менай (англ. Menai Suspension Bridge, валл. Pont Grog y Borth) — підвісний міст через протоку Менай, побудований в 1826 році за проектом Томаса Телфорда. Сполучає острів Англсі з основною територією Уельсу. Історія Після прийняття Акту про Унію 1800 року збільшився вантажний і пасажирський потік між Англією та Ірландією. Однією з головних точок відправлення до Ірландії був порт Голігед на острові Голі-Айленд, що біля Англсі, проте Англсі з'єднувався з основною територією Вельсу тільки повільним поромним сполученням. В 1819 році розпочалося будівництво моста; автором проекту був Томас Телфорд, відомий будівельник мостів і каналів. Щоб не заважати вітрильним суднам, що проходять через Менай, міст мав перетинати протоку одним прольотом на висоті 30 метрів над водою. Для вирішення цього завдання Телфорд вирішив побудувати підвісний міст — експериментальну конструкцію для тих часів, ніколи раніше не застосовувалася на мостах подібного розміру. В 1824 році були закінчені кам'яні пілони, у квітні 1825 перекинутий перший з шістнадцяти залізних несучих ланцюгів. Дорожнє полотно основного прольоту було побудовано з дубових дощок, повсті і дьогтю. Міст було відкрито 30 січня 1826; проїзд з Лондона до Голігед скоротився з 36 годин до 27. В 1827 році сильний вітер пошкодив металеві деталі моста. В 1837 році дорожнє полотно було пошкоджено вітром і потребувало ремонту. В 1893 році основний проліт було реконструйовано і замінено на сталевий; в 1938—1940 роках старі залізні ланцюги були замінені на сталеві. Підвісний міст через Менай був зображений на фунтовій монеті 2005 року.

Ynys Catrin

Ynys Catrin (Illa de Santa Caterina, Saint Catherine's Island en anglès) és una petita illa gal·lesa, accessible a peu eixut en marea baixa des del poble veí de Dinbych-y-Pysgod, en el comtat de Sir Benfro. L'illa rep el seu nom d'una antiga capella -desapareguda temps enrere- dedicada a Santa Caterina. L'any 1870, i per mor de les guerres napoleòniques, s'hi bastí un fort per protegir els ports de Pembroke Dock i Aberdaugleddau. En el 1907 l'illa passà a mans privades per un preu de 500 lliures. El Fort de Santa Caterina té quatre dormitoris principals, 16 habitacions en torretes i un antic saló de banquets amb una estàtua de mida real (o reial, en aquest cas) de la reina Victòria. En el soterrani es conserva el que havia estat una armeria amb capacitat per a 444 barrils de pólvora. En una fase de la seva història hom va usar el fort com a zoològic. El lloc és conegut col·loquialment per La roca de Santa Caterina (Saint Catherine's Rock) i la zona situada davant seu rep el nom de "The Catterns".

St Catherine’s Island

St Catherine’s Island (walisisch: Ynys Catrin) ist eine kleine Insel in der Nähe der Stadt Tenby in Pembrokeshire in Wales. Die Insel ist bei Ebbe über einen Strand zu Fuß zu erreichen. Auf der Insel wurde 1869 eine Festung errichtet, um Angriffe in Richtung Pembroke Dock zu verhindern. Die dritte Episode der vierten Staffel der BBC-Serie Sherlock, Das letzte Problem, wurde zu großen Teilen auf der Insel gedreht. In der Folge diente die Festung als Hochsicherheitsgefängnis.

St Catherine's Island

St Catherine's Island (Welsh: Ynys Catrin) is a small tidal island linked to Tenby in Pembrokeshire, Wales, by Castle beach at low tide. The island, which is known colloquially as St Catherine's Rock, is the location of St Catherine's Fort. History The Earl of Pembroke owned St Catherine's Island until the reign of Elizabeth I. Later, ownership passed to the Corporation of Tenby, which took possession of a number of crown lands. It is recorded in 1856 that a few sheep inhabited the island. An observer described them as "half wild sure footed creatures that run, turn and look, run again and leap from crag to crag almost with the agility of the Alpine Chamois". For many centuries a tiny church was the only building on the island. The construction of St Catherine's Fort in 1867 necessitated the demolishing of the remains of the church. A family trust has owned the island since 1962. The island operated as a zoo from March 1968 to 1979. In April 2014 the island was opened to the public for visits and tours. It was closed from Saturday 27 August 2016 to 12 April 2017 and remains open to the public as of 2019. In 2016 The Final Problem, the third and last episode of the fourth series of the BBC TV series Sherlock was filmed on the island, with it standing in as a maximum security prison. Geography Formed from an outcrop of limestone, on average 25m high, the island is riddled with tidal caves. The island is approximately 200 metres (660 ft) long and 60 metres (200 ft) wide. The area below the high waterline at St Catherine's Island is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The stretch directly in front of the island is known as the Catterns.

St Catherine's Island

St Catherine's Island est une île accessible à marée basse, reliée à la ville de Tenby, dans le comté du Pembrokeshire au pays de Galles. Elle abrite le St Catherine's Fort. Géographie Formée à partir d’un affleurement de calcaire, d’une hauteur moyenne de 25 m, l’île est truffée de grottes de marée. L'île a une longueur d'environ 200 m et une largeur de 60 m. La zone située au-dessous de la ligne de marée haute, sur l’île Sainte-Catherine, est un site d'intérêt scientifique particulier. Le tronçon situé juste en façade de l'île est appelé Catterns. Galerie Histoire Sous le règne d’Elizabeth I, le comte de Pembroke, l’oncle de Henri VII, était le propriétaire de l’île Sainte-Catherine. Plus tard, la propriété a été transférée à la Corporation of Tenby, qui a pris possession de plusieurs terres de la Couronne. En 1856, seuls quelques moutons habitaient l'île. Un observateur les a décrits comme « des créatures à moitié sauvages qui courent, tournent et regardent, courent à nouveau et sautent d'un rocher à l'autre avec l'agilité du chamois des Alpes ». Pendant de nombreux siècles, une petite église était le seul bâtiment de l'île. Les vestiges de l’église ont été démolis lors de la construction du Fort Sainte-Catherine, en 1867. L'île a servi de zoo pendant plusieurs années. En avril 2014, l'île a été ouverte au public pour la première fois depuis 1979. Le fort organise actuellement des tournées dans lesquelles les visiteurs peuvent l'explorer. En 2016, Le dernier problème, troisième et dernier épisode de la quatrième saison de la série télévisée BBC Sherlock a été filmé sur l'île, avec une prison de sécurité maximale.

Cymer Afan Comprehensive School

Cymer Afan Comprehensive School was a comprehensive school, located in Cymmer, Neath Port Talbot, Wales. It offered mixed-sex education to around 200 pupils aged 11–16. In November 2017, plans were announced to close the school. Following two failed court appeals, the school closed in July 2019. Planned closure and reactions Background In November 2017, plans were announced to close Cymer Afan on 31 August 2019. Consultation started on 11 December 2017, ending on 26 January 2018. The reasons for the planned closure included the school's £3m maintenance bill, the high amount of money spent on the school's pupils compared to other schools in the area, and the large gap between the school's capacity of 640 pupils and the 229 on roll. In June 2018, members of Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council voted in support of the school's closure. Legal action A community action group of parents was formed to oppose the plans, their legal representative calling the plan "a death sentence for the community". A judicial review was prepared for the group, focusing on the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. The BBC described the group's aims as being "landmark". In December 2018, solicitors representing the group served the council with notice of a judicial review application. The High Court saw the case in March 2019, but dismissed it on the grounds that judicial review was not the appropriate way to enforce the Future Generations Act. A second judge also dismissed the review. Other responses to the plans A council report showed 433 written objections from pupils, parents, staff and members of the community, including Stephen Kinnock, the MP for Aberavon. A petition with 2007 signatures was also received. The school's chair of governors opposed the planned closure, calling it a "devastating blow" to the area. The National Education Union criticised the plans, arguing that the council "failed to safeguard the jobs of staff" and "did not adequately consult" the local community. However, council leader Robert Jones stated that he was "100% confident" in their consultation process. Aftermath Following the dismissal of the judicial reviews, the school closed in July 2019. A report indicated the presence of asbestos within the school, and plans were put before the council to demolish the building. A majority of students transferred to Ysgol Cwm Brombil, a new-build school in Margam. References

Internal Fire Museum of Power

The Internal Fire Museum of Power is a museum of internal combustion engines in West Wales. The museum's collection is mostly of larger stationary diesel engines, as used for generating sets and pumping stations. The museum is located at Tan-y-groes, Ceredigion, near Cardigan. Exhibits Most of the engines have been restored to working order. Several engines are in operation when the museum is open. Diesel The museum has the oldest working diesel engine in the UK, a 1912 Sulzer single cylinder air-blast injection Diesel, an example of the original Rudolf Diesel design. Steam The museum houses over 200 tons of working engines in nine halls and in 2020 was in the process of creating a new steam hall to house a 1903, J & E Wood, 500 hp tandem compound along with an 1879, John Penn, twin cylinder oscillating paddle steamer (ex Empress) as well as a number of smaller engines including the only surviving Petter steam engine. In 2017, the museum's second Engineering Heritage Award exhibit arrived. A 1901, 140 bhp three cylinder Willans engine generating set had been used until 1957 at the Maples furniture shop in London. On retirement this had been placed on display at the original Willans factory in Rugby Gas turbine One of the museum's most unusual exhibits was a 'Pocket Power Station', powered by a Bristol Proteus gas turbine engine. The regional electricity board installed several 2.7MW, remote-operated, generation sets for peak load powered by the Proteus. Designed to run for ten years many were still in use forty years later. In 2010 this was recognised with an Engineering Heritage Award.

History The school was founded in 1923 by brothers Bill and Percy Rees and has been situated in the east Llanelli village of Bryn since 1928. Upon retirement of the Rees' brothers, former head boy Mr Vaughan-Evans was appointed Headmaster in 1962. The school's main building, St. David's House, dates back to the 19th century and was originally a large house belonging to a local industrialist. The school's Pre-Preparatory School is housed in a converted former public house, The Royal Oak, which was purchased by the school in 2012 Ownership The school was acquired in 2019 by Chinese company Bright Scholar, as part of a £150m purchase of colleges in the UK.

Католическая церковь Святой Марии

Католическая церковь святой Марии (St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church) — церковь в раннегригорианском с поздними вставками викторианского стиля католического архитектора Бенджамина Букналла (Benjamin Bucknall). 15 августа 1974 года включена в список культурного наследия уровня II, и является одним из 24 зданий Тропы культурного наследия Монмута. История и архитектура После XVI века Монмут стал центром неповиновения приказам. В 1773 году здесь пропорционально было наибольшее количество католиков во всей Англии и Уэльсе. В 1778 году законы против католиков ослабли, после выхода папского акта, и монмутский магистрат решил возвести Общественную городскую католическую церковь. Один из подписавших петицию, Майкл Утокинс (Michael Watkins), был владельцем Отеля Робина Гуда на Монноу-стрит, где в верхних комнатах служились мессы. Лоббирование завершилось выдачей разрешения, на три года опередившего аналогичное разрешение на церковь в Чепстау. Однако считалось необходимым делать католические и нонконформистские церкви как можно незаметнее, что привело к тому, что здание не выглядит как церковь. Был запрещён вход с основной трассы, и прихожане должны были приходить по одному; изначально церковь разместили за коттеджами, которые были снесены, когда законы против католиков ослабли ещё сильнее. Изначальное здание формирует территорию нынешнего святилища и ризницы, окно с витражом слева от святилища выполнено в георгианском стиле. Самая ранняя часть церкви — в восточном конце, датируется 1793 годом. В 1829 году началась эмансипация католиков, и церковь в 1837 году была расширена. В 1871 году произошла сильная перестройка, в которую вошло разрушение коттеджей и постройка башни из красного старого песчаника. Церковь обладает крестом для процессий XIV века, расшитый красной ризой около 1502 года, а также навесным крестом, возможно, испанского происхождения, примерно XVII века. Церковь связана с Джоном Кемблом (John Kemble), миссионером в Монмутшире и Херефордшире. Он принял мученическую смерть за свою веру в Херефорде 22 августа 1679 года и похоронен в соседнем городе Уэльч Ньютон. Приход Святой Марии организует паломничество к могиле святого Кембла в воскресенье, ближайшее к дате его мученической кончины. В церкви также есть алтарь, посвященный памяти святого. Примечания
