Национальный музей шерсти

Национальный музей шерсти (англ. National Wool Museum) — промышленный музей в деревне Дрефч близ города Лландисал в Великобритании, входящий в список национальных музеев Уэльса. Основан в 1976 году. Производство шерсти в Уэльсе имело важное значение для местной экономики во все времена. В XIX веке шерстяная промышленность по значению превзошла даже угольную. Долина Тейфи была центром шерстяной промышленности на западе Уэльса, который местные жители называли валлийским Хаддерсфилдом. В 1902 году в Кембриан-Миллс предприниматель Дэвид Льюис построил новую фабрику по производству шерстяных тканей на месте бывшей небольшой водяной ткацкой мастерской. Продукция предприятия обеспечивала сукном работников угольной и металлургической промышленности. В 1915 году на фабрике трудились сто человек. Производимая ими, фланель шла на пошив военной формы для солдат Первой мировой войны. В 1919 году на фабрике разразился пожар, который начался в чесальном и прядильном отделении. Причинённый им ущерб был оценен в двадцать тысяч фунтов стерлингов. Работнику на верхнем этаже удалось спастись, когда, обнаружив, что путь к выходу заблокирован пламенем и дымом, он поднялся на крышу, откуда был снят с помощью длинной лестницы. Фабрика, несмотря на падение интереса к шерстяным тканям, была восстановлена. В 1965 году её выставили на продажу. В то время на ней работали тридцать человек. В настоящее время фабрика, как и вся деревня Дрефч, являются объектами культурного наследия Уэльса. В 1976 году на территории бывшей фабрики был открыт Музей валлийской шерстяной промышленности, который в марте 2004 года, после двухлетней реконструкции в два миллиона фунтов стерлингов, был преобразован в Национальный музей шерсти. Частично восстановительные работы профинансировал Фонд лотереи наследия. Реставрационные работы включали создание стеклянного крытого двора и новой галереи, в которой представлены предметы национальной коллекции текстильных изделий. Наряду с историческим оборудованием (прядильные и ткацкие станки), экспозиция даёт представление о развитии и текстильных изделиях Мелин Тейфи — частной шерстяной фабрики. В 2005 году в музее открылся исследовательский и коллекционный центр, который включает в себя помещение, посвященное практическим возможностям обучения производству шерстяных нитей и тканей. Ремонтные работы были проведены в рамках музейного гранта в сорок миллионов фунтов стерлингов, которые Национальное собрание Уэльса выделило министерству культуры, возглавляемому министром Аланом Джоном Пью. Грант был выделен на три существующих музейных объекта — Национальный музей шерсти, Национальный музей шифера в Лланберисе и Большой национальный музей угля в Блэнавоне, а также на развитие нового Национального музея побережья в Суонси.

Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru

El Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru (en anglès Natural Resources Wales) és un ens finançat pel govern gal·lès, que va començar a operar l'1 d'abril del 2013, quan es va fer càrrec de la gestió dels recursos naturals de Gal·les. Es va crear a partir d'una fusió del Countryside Council for Wales, l'Environment Agency Wales, i la Forestry Commission Wales, a més a més d'assumir altres funcions anteriorment controlades pel mateix govern gal·lès. Funcions Els recursos naturals de Gal·les estan regits per més de 40 règims reguladors diferents, herència de les diferents institucions que els havien gestionat anteriorment. Les més destacades són les següents: consentiments i assentiments dels Site of Special Scientific Interest (Indrets d'Especial Interès Científic) substàncies radioactives (nuclears o no nuclears) concessió de llicències a les espècies protegides per la legislació europea concessió de llicències marítimes concessió de llicències de tala d'arbres descàrrega d'aigües superficials i subterrànies captació i represa d'aigua (i mesures davant de sequeres) normativa d'envasos i comerç entre Europa i el Regne Unit pesca comercial de l'anguila, el salmó i el marisc indústria major (refineries, químiques, ciment, estacions energètiques, ferro i acer, etc.) indústria del reciclatge (emmagatzemant, tractament i deposició) Debat de fusió Per justificar la fusió, el govern gal·lès va exposar que aquesta produiria un estalvi de 158 milions de lliures esterlines en deu anys. Mentre que les tres agències es van mostrar molt favorables a la fusió, el director de la Forestry Commission Wales Jon Owen Jones va avisar que la veu de la indústria forestal podria no ser escoltada dins de la nova organització.

Neath Port Talbot College

Neath Port Talbot College (NPTC) was a further education institution established as two campuses in Port Talbot and Neath in Wales. The college allowed study of many courses including GCSEs, AS Level/A levels, AGCEs, AVCEs, Adult Lifelong Learning Services, GNVQs at both Foundation and Intermediate levels. Neath Port Talbot College also offered higher education courses or HND/Cs in various subjects related to their AVCE/AGCE courses, notably in Computing, Health & Social Care, Hospitality and Childcare. After the County Borough of Neath Port Talbot was formed in 1996, plans were put through to merge the Afan College and Neath College as one. In 1997 this was achieved under the name of Neath Port Talbot College. In August 2013 Neath Port Talbot College merged with Coleg Powys to become NPTC Group. History Between the 1950s to the 1990s there was a Neath College and an Afan College; each college had their own administration and staff. Both colleges independently offered O levels, A levels, National Diplomas and other qualifications. When the boroughs of Neath and Port Talbot merged to form a unitary Authority in 1996, the two colleges decided to merge as one also. Instead of each campus being called Neath College and Afan College, it became Neath Campus and Afan Campus. The college also had an outpost at Queen Street in Neath Town Centre, where the ECDL were offered and other part-time courses were available too. Further facilities were situated at Margam Country Park in Twyn Yr Hydd House from where the college ran its Management Training Centre, Horticulture Training Centre and Parc-Gro plant nursery.

Nebo, Anglesey

Nebo is a hamlet in the community of Llaneilian, Anglesey, in north-west Wales. It is close to the town of Amlwch. The village is 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Penysarn, near the top of a hill known as Mynydd Nebo. Name and origins An early arrival at what is now a small hamlet was Nebo Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, which was first established here in 1788. The chapel itself was named after Mount Nebo (now in Jordan), the mountain from which Moses is described as seeing the promised land. In 1823 the chapel was rebuilt, and the success of the chapel by the nineteenth century is shown by a religious survey of 1851. The parish of Llanwenllwyfo (now part of Llaneilian Community) was recorded as having 583 residents. The census lists two churches, of which the Anglican parish church recorded an attendance of 51, while Nebo chapel recorded the morning service of 328, afternoon 327, evening 615, indicating that the chapel was drawing in adherents from outside the parish, at a time when the Amlwch copper mining and related industries were employing large numbers of workers. The chapel was renovated in 1878, but declined in the 20th century and closed in 1966. It has subsequently been converted into flats. The chapel had become a focus for a cluster of houses spreading along the four roads leading out of the hamlet, which collectively took the name of the chapel. Mynydd Nebo The hamlet stands on the south-western end of a short ridge leading to the summit of Mynydd Nebo, a hill a little above 160 metres (520 ft), which has two radio masts. Maps show a third transmitter mast, which was taken down before 2008. See also List of localities in Wales by population References External links Media related to Nebo, Anglesey at Wikimedia Commons
Nevill Hall Hospital

Nevill Hall Hospital (Welsh: Ysbyty Nevill Hall) is a district general hospital in Abergavenny, north Monmouthshire, Wales. It is managed by the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. History The site was originally occupied by The Brooks, a country house built for James Charles Hill of Blaenavon Ironworks in the 1860s. It was renamed Nevill Hall, in recognition of his own family name, when it was acquired by the Marquess of Abergavenny in 1890. After the Marquess died in 1915, it had two further owners before being sold to the local hospital board for use as a convalescent facility in 1920. By the late 1960s the hospital needed modernising and the current facility was opened in 1970. A new education centre was officially opened by Jane Hutt AM in May 2002. The Accident & Emergency Department at Nevill Hall was closed in November 2020, with services being transferred to the newly opened Grange University Hospital in Cwmbran.

The NEON

The former Newport Odeon, which traded as an entertainment and events venue, The NEON, until 2023 is a Grade II listed building in the city of Newport, South Wales. It is located at the junction of Clarence Place and Chepstow Road on the east side of Newport city centre, near Newport Bridge. The building is one of the few true examples of Art Deco architecture in Newport. History The NEON opened in March 1938 as an Odeon cinema, designed by Harry Weedon. The cinema closed in 1981, fell derelict in the following years and faced the possibility of demolition. It was designated a Grade II listed building in 1999. After many years of the ground floor being used as snooker hall, the building was bought by a local business-owning couple in 2003 and was transformed at a cost of over £1 million and renamed Newport City Live Arena. Features included a huge television screen to show live sporting events and a stage that hosted several famous music acts. The building was sold, redeveloped and opened in February 2016 as a live music and vintage movie venue and named The NEON (Newport Entertains Our Nation). The name is a play on the original Odeon name (Oscar Deutsch Entertains Our Nation). The business is owned and run by businessmen Ian Gilland and Andrew James Byers. In 2019, the venue sold out to over 1,000 people for a rally of the Brexit Party, with figures including Nigel Farage, Ann Widdecombe, Nathan Gill and James Wells speaking to supporters ahead of the 2019 European Parliament elections. In December 2023 the venue was closed and its alcohol sales licence revoked after police identified a large cannabis farm operating in the building. It re-opened in May 2024 as a Professional Wrestling academy. References See also Odeon Newport, history at cinematreasures
Newport Civic Centre

Newport Civic Centre (Welsh: Canolfan Ddinesig Casnewydd) is a municipal building in Godfrey Road in Newport, South Wales. The civic centre, which is the headquarters of Newport City Council, is a Grade II* Listed building. History The first town hall, which was located in Commercial Street and designed in the classical style, was officially opened on 31 January 1843; after this was found to be too small it was replaced a second structure, also in Commercial Street, which was designed by Thomas Meakin Lockwood in the Renaissance style and completed in 1885. After deciding the second town hall was also inadequate for their needs, civic leaders chose to procure a new civic centre: the site they selected had previously been occupied by a property known as St Mary's Lodge in Fields Road. The ceremonial first sod on the new building was cut by King George VI, accompanied by Queen Elizabeth, on 14 July 1937. Following a design competition, it was designed by Thomas Cecil Howitt in the Art Deco style and built using Portland stone. Progress was delayed by the advent of the Second World War but resumed after the war: the building was fitted out, a collection of 12 murals by the German artist Hans Feibusch were installed and the clock tower was finished. The building, which Newman in The Buildings of Wales described as "something of a disappointment", finally opened in 1964. The design involved a very wide symmetrical frontage with 37 bays facing Fields Road; the central section of five bays featured a huge full-height round-headed entrance on the ground floor and a clock tower above; there were wings to the east and west, each of seven bays, and beyond that there were side bays, each of nine bays. The clock tower itself rises 55 m (180 feet) above ground level from the front of the building. A court complex was built to the south of the main building between 1989 and 1991. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber and the mayor's parlour. The building was the meeting place of Newport Borough Council until the town was granted formal city status as part of a contest for the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002 and the building then became the home of Newport City Council. A sandstone plaque to commemorate the 2010 Ryder Cup at the Celtic Manor Resort, which had been placed in the pavement outside the civic centre, was unveiled on 7 October 2011. Works of art in the civic centre include a sculpture by David Evans depicting two straining miners entitled "Labour".

Newport Crown Court

Newport Crown Court is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases at Faulkner Road in Newport in South Wales. History Until the early 1990s, judicial hearings in Newport were held in the west wing of Newport Civic Centre. However, as the number of court cases in southeast Wales grew, it became necessary to commission a dedicated courthouse for criminal matters. The site chosen was a sloped and landscaped area to the immediate southeast of the Civic Centre. Construction of the new building commenced in 1989. It was designed in the modern style, built in Portland stone at a cost of £10.9 million, and was completed in 1991. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of seven bays facing onto Faulkner Road. The central bay featured a long flight of steps leading up to a hexagonal porch. The wings, of three bays each, featured a series of piers which supported a concrete roof with was cantilevered forward. The building was laid out to accommodate three courtrooms which were designated for the use by the County Court (civil cases) as well as the Crown Court (criminal cases). Notable cases included the trial and conviction of Carl Mills, in July 2013, for the murder of three generations of one family, the trial and conviction of Andrew McCann, a former member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, in November 2015, for "using threatening, abusive and insulting words or behaviour", the trial and conviction of Joseph Jeremy and Lewis Aquilina, in March 2022, for the murder of a 26-year-old man during a street robbery, and the trial and conviction of Simon Parks, in November 2022, for the murder of his mother-in-law.

Newport High School (Wales)

Newport High School (Welsh: Ysgol Uwchradd Casnewydd) is a co-educational secondary school in the Bettws district of the city of Newport, South Wales, UK for pupils aged 11–18 years. Admissions There are about 1,100 pupils from a catchment area to the north western side of Newport. History The school's origin can be dated back to the foundation in 1896 of separate Boys' and Girls' intermediate schools in Newport. Subsequently the High School name was adopted. Following the implementation of comprehensive education the school(s) eventually moved from Queen's Hill to Bettws Lane. The current school of 2009 was built in front of the old Bettws Comprehensive School, itself built in 1970. The latter's school plot was sold to Barratt Homes for demolition and house building. On 7 January 2025, the school went into lockdown after a former pupil entered the school and attacked three teachers, causing one of them to be hospitalised. Academic performance The school's most recent Estyn inspection took place in 2008. This report was in quick succession to an inspection during November 2007. The 2007 report noted the school's improvements, particularly in GCSE results, since the previous inspection in 2001, but recommended that significant further improvement was necessary. The 2008 report concluded that "significant improvement" had been made and the school was placed back into the standard inspection cycle.
