Swansea Market

Swansea Market situated, in the heart of Swansea city centre, is the largest indoor market in Wales. The market is covered by a steel arched portal frame roof clad in steel and glass. The current market was built between 1959 and 1960 by Percy Thomas. Adjoining the market is the Quadrant Shopping Centre. History The current market building is the second market to be built at the site in 200 years. There has been a covered market in Swansea since 1652, when a market was held in a building near the castle. The previous market on this site had existed since 1894 and was destroyed during the Swansea Blitz in the Second World War. The first dedicated market building was built in 1774 at the top of Wind Street. That consisted of a roof supported by pillars --- it had no external walls. A new market called the New Market opened in 1830, which was a walled structure with a roof lining the walls. The interior market space was open to the elements. The open-walled structure was replaced with a new red brick building, which opened on 22 June 1897. The new building was entirely roofed, and by December 1897, electric lighting had been introduced. This building was hit during the Luftwaffe bombing raids in 1941, destroying the roof and the interior of the building. During the rest of the 1940s and 1950s, the market was held as an outdoor market at the site where the market building once stood. The replacement market opened in 1961, celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2011. Facilities The market includes fruit and vegetable stalls, butchers, cafes, fast food, fishmongers, and clothes stalls. There are also a number of stalls selling local and continental delicacies, such as continental cheeses, Welsh laverbread, Penclawdd cockles, Gower Saltmarsh lamb, and Welsh Black beef. In 2013, the market roof was due for a £1 million modernization consisting of new roofing sheets, lighting, and possibly new solar power generating roofing panels.

Llanbadrig

Llanbadrig is a village and community (and former electoral ward) in Anglesey, Wales. The parish includes the township of Clygyrog, Tregynrig and the port of Cemaes (pronounced "Kem-ice"), and was formerly in the cwmwd of Talybolion. The area has extensive quarries of limestone and marble. At the 2001 census it had a population of 1,392, reducing slightly to 1,357 at the 2011 census. The Welsh name Llanbadrig means "church of Saint Patrick" and there is a Church of St Patrick on the coast near Cemaes. It is said to have been founded in 440CE by St Patrick himself. Local legend states that Patrick was shipwrecked on the small nearby island of Ynys Badrig (Patrick's Isle, also known as Middle Mouse), which can be seen from the stile in the churchyard wall. The nearby cove is known as Porth Padrig. The old church is Grade II* listed. Following the Isle of Anglesey (Electoral Arrangements) Order 2012, the Llanbadrig ward was amalgamated into a new multi-councillor ward, Twrcelyn. Archaeological Sites There are two Scheduled Monuments within the community. Dinas Gynfor Hillfort (53.4274°N 4.4236°W) an Iron Age Promontory fortified site on the Llanlleiana headland, with two sets of defensive walls and ditches across the landward side and precipitous cliffs on the three seaward sides. The interior has been quarried in places. Towards the tip of the promontory there is a tower, built to mark the coronation of King Edward VII. There is also the ruined remains of the medieval Church of Llanleiana near the south-western end of the ramparts. Kilns and chimneys at Porth Wen Brickworks (53.424°N 4.4065°W) A now disused Victorian brickworks which mined the local quartsite minerals and used them to produce silica-based fire bricks for use in steel furnaces. The substantial remains include three 'beehive kilns', a number of buildings and the remains of some of the machinery and tramways. Trivia Portions of the 2006 movie Half Light starring Demi Moore were filmed in Llanbadrig, although the movie is ostensibly set in Scotland. The headland was the location for a 'Peace Camp: coastal installation celebrating love poetry and landscape'. This was part of the Cultural Olympiad running alongside the 2012 London Olympic Games, and was one of eight such locations around Britain. For four nights in July, glowing dome tents and recitals of love poetry filled the headland. Anglesey also has a Llyn Padrig (lake) and Rhosbadrig (farm) located inland from Aberffraw. Atlas Mon shows a medieval place called Tref Was Padrig (transl. "township of Patrick's servant") in that area. The most northerly point of Wales, Ynys Badrig, is in the community.

Grosmont Castle

Grosmont Castle er ruinen af en middelalderborg i landsbyen Grosmont i Monmouthshire, Wales. Fæstningen blev opført af normannerne efter deres erobring af England i 1066 for at beskytte ruten fra Wales til Hereford. Den blev muligvis bestilt af William fitz Osbern, jarl af Hereford, og det var oprindeligt en borgbanke med forsværsværk i træ. I 11535 var der et stort it was originally an earthwork design with timber defences. I 1135 var der et stort walisisk oprør, og som modsvar etablerede kong Stefan et lordshop kaldet "Three Castles" sammen med White og Skenfrith, der spillede en vigtig rolle i at forsvare regionen imod walisiske angreb i de kommende århundreder. Kong John gav borgen til en magtfuld kongelig embedsmand, Hubert de Burgh, i 1201. I de næste årtier overgik den til adskillige ejere, inklusive Hubert, rival til de Braose-familien, og kronen tog kontrol over ejendommen. Hubert genopførte borgen i sten, og begyndte med en ny hal, og efter at genvundet kontrollen over ejendommen i 1219 en ringmur, portbygning og tårne. I 1233 blev kongelige tropper, der havde slået lejr ude foran borgen, angrebet af oprørstropper under Richard Marshall. I 1267 blev den givet til Edmund, jarl af Lancaster, og den forblev en del af jarldømmet og senere hertugdømmet Lancaster indtil 1825. Edvard 1.'s erobring af Wales i 1282 fik fjernet en stor del af White Castles militære vigtighed, selvom den blev belejret i 105 under glyndroprøreret. I 1500-tallet var den forfalden og ikke i brug. Borgen overgik til statens eje i 1922, og bliver i dag drevet af Cadw. Det er en listed building af første grad.

Замок Гросмонт

Замок Гросмонт (англ. Grosmont Castle) — руины средневекового замка в деревне Гросмонт, Монмутшир, Уэльс. Замок для защиты пути из Уэльса в Херефорд было возведено норманнами после завоевания Англии в 1066 году. Изначально земляное укрепление с палисадом было, возможно, заказано Вильямом Фиц-Осберном, графом Херефорда. В 1135 году разразилась крупное валлийское восстание, в ответ на которое король Стефан объединил замок Гросмонт и близлежащие замки Скенфрит и Уайт в лордство «Три замка», которое на протяжении нескольких веков продолжало играть важную роль в защите региона от валлийцев. В 1201 году король Иоанн передал замок могущественному барону Хьюберту де Бургу, графу Кент. В течение следующих нескольких десятилетий замок переходил от одного владельца к другому, включая Хьюберта, его соперников Браозов и Корону. Хьюберт перестроил замок в камне, начав с нового рыцарского зала, а когда вернул собственность в 1219 году возвёл куртину, торхаус и крепостные башни. В 1233 году королевская армия, вставшая лагерем за пределами замка, подверглась нападению повстанческих сил под командованием Ричарда Маршалла, 3-го графа Пембрук. Эдмунд, граф Ланкастер, получил замок в 1267 году, и он оставался во владении графства (позже герцогства) Ланкастерского вплоть до 1825 года. С завоеванием Эдуардом I Уэльса в 1282 году стратегическое значение замка Гросмонт сильно уменьшилось. Тем не менее, в 1405 году он подвергся осаде во время восстания Оуайна Глиндура. К XVI веку замок перестали использовать и он пришёл в упадок. В 1922 году он был передан государству и сейчас находится в ведении агентства по охране культурного наследия Cadw.

Castello di Oxwich

Il castello di Oxwich (in inglese Oxwich Castle; in gallese Castell Oxwich) è un maniero in stile Tudor del villaggio gallese di Oxwich, nella penisola di Gower (area di Swansea), realizzato nel corso del XVI secolo dalla famiglia Mansel sulle rovine di una preesistente fortezza medievale. Assieme ai castelli di Penrice, Pennard e Weobley, è uno dei più grandi castelli presenti nella penisola di Gower. Storia Risale probabilmente al XIII secolo, ma potrebbe essere anche antecedente, la fortezza normanna che si ergeva originariamente in loco. Questa fortezza fu in seguito di proprietà della famiglia Penrice. Nel 1459 ca. divenne proprietario dell'antico castello di Oxwich Philip Mansel. Nel corso del secolo successivo, tra gli anni venti e trenta, un altro membro della famiglia, Rice Mansel fece realizzare l'ala sud-orientale. L'antica fortezza venne quindi rimodellata, perdendo le proprie caratteristiche difensive per assumere l'aspetto di una residenza. Tuttavia, nonostante si trattasse di un periodo di non belligeranza, dopo una schermaglia tra il proprietario del castello Sir Rhys Mansel e Sir George Mansel, avvenuta il 28 dicembre 1557 (si trattava di una disputa riguardante la proprietà di un'imbarcazione francese naufragata) e che costò la vita ad Anne Mansel, figlia di Rhys, si decise di cingere il castello con una muraglia difensiva. Nel 1578, il castello venne descritto dall'antiquario Rice Merrick come "un castello ricostruito o restaurato da Sir Edward Mansel". In seguito, fu fatta aggiungere da Edward Mansel, figlio di Rhys (morto nel 1559) l'ala nord-orientale, che costituisce uno delle maggiori strutture mai realizzate in Galles nel corso del XVI secolo. Nel 1631 crollò parte dell'ala orientale del castello, che non fu restaurata. Il castello rimase quindi disabitato, ad eccezione dell'ala meridionale, che continuò ad essere adibita a fattoria. L'ala meridionale del castello fu adibita a fattoria per circa due secoli, ovvero fino al 1954, dopo che nel 1949 era stato a rischio di demolizione. Il castello di Oxwich divenne di proprietà dello Stato nel 1959. Architettura Il castello si erge su un promontorio situato fra la baia di Oxwich e la baia di Port Eynion, a circa 200 piedi s.l.m. Dalle rovine del maniero si erge una torre medievale dell'altezza di 90 metri.

The chapel is in use for services, weddings and community meetings. Prince Charles's first footsteps on Welsh soil were in 1955 to the south of the village on the beach at Lindsway Bay. The royal yacht was anchored in Dale Roads. Governance The community comprises most of the parish of St Ishmaels and had a population of 478 at the 2011 census. The ward had a total population at the 2011 census of 1,405, including the communities of Herbrandston, Dale and Marloes and St. Brides. The ward was expanded for the 2022 election with the addition of Walwyn's Castle (transferred from The Havens ward) and Tiers Cross (from Johnston ward). Geography The south, west and east of the parish is bordered by the Haven with numerous important bird and marine life within the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. The north is mainly farmland used for both grazing and arable. The southern point of Lindsway Bay is marked by the Great Castle Head lighthouse now a private residence.
