Pontypool Park

Pontypool Park è una struttura multifunzione di Pontypool, località del Regno Unito in Galles. Il campo da rugby che esso ospita, e che porta lo stesso nome, è la sede degli incontri interni della formazione del Pontypool. Nel 1991 fu tra le sedi che ospitarono gare della II Coppa del Mondo di rugby. Storia Lo stadio si trova all'interno di una vasta area (0,64 km²) di proprietà del distretto di contea di Torfaen. Il parco, quale pertinenza di una proprietà privata del luogo, nacque a metà del XVI secolo; passò a proprietà pubblica a inizio XX secolo e nel 1925 vi nacque il campo di rugby, da allora al servizio del locale club Pontypool. Nel 1945 fu edificata anche la tribuna laterale tuttora presente. Pontypool Park fu selezionato tra le sedi destinate a ospitare gare della Coppa del Mondo di rugby 1991 organizzata dall'Inghilterra ma alla quale Paesi limitrofi prestarono sostegno logistico: in tale impianto si svolse la partita della fase a gironi tra l'Australia e le Samoa Occidentali, vinta sotto una pioggia torrenziale dagli Wallabies per 9-3 con tre calci di punizione di Michael Lynagh. Nel 2019 il club del Pontypool RFC ha ottenuto dal distretto di contea di Torfaen, proprietario del parco, una concessione a lungo termine dello stadio; grazie alla sicurezza di poter utilizzare il Park in maniera permanente nel lungo termine, il club ha annunciato lavori di ampliamento e ristrutturazione dell'impianto.

Prince Charles Hospital

Prince Charles Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty'r Tywysog Siarl) is a district general hospital in Gurnos, Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. It is managed by the Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. History Construction of the first phase of the new hospital began in 1972 and it was officially opened in 1978. Services were transferred from Merthyr General Hospital in 1986, and once a second phase of the Prince Charles Hospital had been completed in 1991, services also transferred from Buckland Hospital. A new Emergency Care Centre opened in 2012 and the complete refurbishment of the whole hospital was approved by the Welsh Government in October 2013. As part of a £6m revamp, a new state-of-the-art maternity unit was unveiled at the hospital in 2019. A hospital helipad was installed in 2017 at the cost of £700,000 and intended to be used for emergency night-time takeoffs and landings by rescue helicopters. In 2019 it had yet to be used because of a lack of adequate fencing and lights, which has raised safety concerns. The hospital's maternity services were put into special measures in 2019 after concerns were raised about the treatment of mothers and their babies. There were also concerns about the standard of care affording to a cancer patient who died in the hospital.

Princess of Wales Hospital

The Princess of Wales Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Tywysoges Cymru) is a district general hospital in Bridgend, Wales. It is managed by Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board. History The hospital was commissioned to replace the aging Bridgend General Hospital. The new hospital, which was designed by Holder Mathias, was officially opened by the Princess of Wales on 11 June 1986. The George Thomas Scanner Suite was subsequently opened by the Princess of Wales and Viscount Tonypandy in February 1990. Services The Surgical Materials Testing Laboratory, which provides testing and technical services to the Welsh NHS on medical devices, is based at the hospital. The South Wales Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services unit, Tŷ Llidiard, is on the site of the hospital. Performance In May 2014, staff at the hospital was criticised in a report into the death of an elderly patient who had been treated at the hospital; the report found that there had been "variable or poor professional behaviour and practice in the care of frail older people". The Healthcare Inspectorate Wales carried out a mental health unit review in April 2015 and raised concerns about "insufficient staffing levels to maintain safe levels of care" and "concerns around a specific patient for which there was inadequate recording of fluid intake and a care and treatment plan which did not adequately address the area of diabetes and an absence of any care strategy in relation to this area". Prosecution of nurses scandal Multiple nurses were accused of negligence at the hospital, but prosecutions failed in October 2015 when it was determined that the computer log of patient records was unreliable. Uniforms Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine re-designed the uniforms of the catering department as part of their ITV show, Trinny & Susannah Undress the Nation. The episode was broadcast on 18 December 2007. Radio Bridgend's Hospital Radio (BHR) provides the hospital radio service at the hospital. The hospital radio is run by volunteers and features a variety of programming. The station is available to be listened live at the Princess of Wales Hospital and via an online stream.

Quadrant Shopping Centre

The Quadrant Shopping Centre is the principal under-cover shopping centre in Swansea, Wales. The centre opened in 1979. From the 1980s to 2019 it was home to the Swansea Devil, a controversial carved wooden statue of the Devil. The centre and surrounding areas are owned by the LaSalle Investment Management. Stores The centre has a floorspace of 41,000 m2 (440,000 sq ft) and is anchored by TGJones and Boots. Other notable stores include HMV and Clarks. The building The centre's main distinctions are its glass roof structure and its square atrium at the centre, which is now leased out to seasonal businesses, mainly during festive periods. The centre was last redeveloped in the early 1990s, but much of the upper floor decor consists of open brickwork from the 1980s. There are two levels in the Quadrant; Boots Group and TGJones are the only stores occupying the upper level, along with the public conveniences and 'The Gallery', a cafe that overlooks the central area. Surroundings The Quadrant is directly adjacent to Swansea Market, Swansea bus station and a multi-storey car park.

Queens Arcade

The Queens Arcade (Welsh: Arcêd y Frenhines) is a shopping centre in Cardiff city centre. It opened on 28 April 1994. History Developed on the site of the Allders department store and the similarly named Queen Street Arcade, the main entrance is located on Queen Street, and the second entrance faces Working Street near Cardiff Central Market. The arcade has two levels, and is unusual in that the levels are sloped, so that despite its two entrances being on the same level the upper floor at the Working Street entrance is the ground floor at Queen Street. The centre internally connects with the St David's Centre. The arcade recorded 11.2m annual footfall in 2012 and is anchored by New Look, Argos, Tim Hortons and Post Office. Four of its stores – Argos, Christopher George, F. Hinds and Whittard of Chelsea – have been in the centre from its launch and others from the opening year line-up have changed their company names – such as Cookie Jar, now Millie's Cookies, and Partners, now Ryman. By 2016 it had a 10 million annual footfall. It was put up for sale in 2016 for £33 million. It was proposed to be demolished in plans in 2021. In February 2023, the centre was put into receivership. As of November 2025, it was in the process of being "reinvented" as a “leisure mall”, which will host live performances, and will also contain sporting areas (including courts for padel), plus interactive exhibitions and theatrics using digital projection. In popular culture The original architecture was inspired by the many late 19th-century arcades of Cardiff city centre and has appeared as the backdrop for various TV programmes, including the 2005 Doctor Who story "Rose", starring Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper, which was set in London.

Radnorshire Arms

The Radnorshire Arms is a well-preserved Jacobean building in the Welsh border town of Presteigne, in Powys. The building has the date 1616 over its door but it is claimed it dates to the 16th century, once owned by Sir Christopher Hatton, a lawyer and politician, Lord Chancellor of England and rumoured lover of Queen Elizabeth I. In 1616 it became home to a local man, John Bradshaw. The building became an inn in 1792 and had several additions around 1875. There are also many anomalies inside the Hotel itself, caused by the large number of changes and additions to the original structure. In 1875 a secret chamber was discovered off of what is now the Resident's Lounge, which turned out to be a Priest Hole. Behind one of the panels was the diary of a Catholic Priest who had been hiding there for two years. It is a Grade II* listed building and a hotel. It was sold out of administration to Allworks Properties in 2020, and still operates as a hotel. References External links Radnorshire Arms Hotel website

Red Dragon Centre

The Red Dragon Centre is an indoor entertainment and leisure complex in southern Cardiff, the capital of Wales. It was originally known as the Atlantic Wharf Leisure Village when it opened in August 1997. The complex features restaurants, cafés, a Hollywood Bowl bowling alley with arcade amusements, an Odeon multiplex cinema, a casino, gym and an on-site car park. It is located in the Cardiff Bay area, opposite the Wales Millennium Centre. This is close to the A4232 and near Cardiff Bay railway station. It is directly served by Cardiff Bus routes 6 (Baycar) and 8 (via Grangetown, Central Station) to the city centre. History The centre opened in 1997 as the Atlantic Wharf Leisure Village. The centre was renamed in 2000 as Red Dragon Centre (named after the commercial radio station for Cardiff and Newport, Red Dragon FM) Red Dragon FM has since been rebranded as Capital South Wales. The station is based in the centre, alongside Heart South Wales. The multiplex cinema opened in October 1997 and was originally managed by United Cinemas International (UCI). However, in 2004 Odeon and UCI were bought by private equity firm, Terra Firma, and the two companies were merged under the Odeon name. On 17 December 2019, it was announced that Cardiff Council's cabinet had been granted permission for the local authority to purchase the Red Dragon Centre from the British Airways Pension Fund (BAPF) for an undisclosed sum. An element of the purchase price would only be payable to the pension fund once a planning application had been submitted for the new arena project on any part of the multi-acre Atlantic Wharf site (the combined County Hall on Schooner Way and Red Dragon Centre on Hemingway Road) within a 10 year period. In 2020, the BAPF sold the centre to the council for a reported £60m. Future plans There are plans to replace the centre with a new building "in the coming years", as part of wider plans to regenerate the Atlantic Wharf area with a large mixed-use development situated on a 30 acres (12 ha) site; this would include new council offices, waterfront apartments, a replacement hotel and "immersive" arts theatre to sit alongside a new 15,000 capacity indoor arena.

Rheidol Power Station

Rheidol power station is a 56 MW hydroelectric scheme near Aberystwyth, Wales. It was built between 1957 and 1962 and was officially opened on 3 July 1964. It has been operated by Statkraft since 2009 after it was transferred from E.ON UK as part of a swap for shares. In 1964/65 Rheidol Power Station was awarded the Christopher Hinton trophy in recognition of good housekeeping. The power plant is the largest of its kind in England and Wales. It was constructed under the terms of the North Wales Hydro-Electric Power Act 1955. The plant has generated renewable energy by using rainwater that falls on the surrounding mountains since 1962. The plant covers a total area of 162 square kilometres (63 sq mi) and is made up of an interconnected group of reservoirs, dams, pipelines, aqueducts, and power stations. The upper reaches of the scheme are over 750 metres (2,460 ft) above sea level in the Plynlimon mountains. A series of aqueducts collects the water and channels it into the Nant-y-Moch reservoir. Water flows from this reservoir to a power station at Dinas where it drives a 13 MW generator. From the power station, the water flows into Dinas reservoir. Dinas reservoir supplies water to the largest power station at Cwm Rheidol where there are two 20.5 MW generators. At Cwm Rheidol a further reservoir has been created to avoid large variations in the flow of water. This reservoir collects water that flows through the power station and releases it slowly through a 1 MW generator. References External links "Rheidol Hydro". E.ON UK. Retrieved 27 April 2011.
