Stadium House, Cardiff

Stadium House (Welsh: Tŷ Stadiwm) in Park Street, Cardiff, Wales, is the fourth tallest building in Cardiff, Wales, which stands next to the Millennium Stadium. The 255 feet (78 m) tall building is owned by BT Group, and underwent a £7.1 million refurbishment programme in 2002. Construction Work started on the building in March 1974 and was completed in 1976. The building is now clad in white and blue, while the roof is topped with a 131 feet (40 m) stainless steel spire, which was lit up green and white in the evening, to complement the cladding. The addition of this spire qualifies the building as the tallest in Cardiff and Wales, at 390 feet (120 m), if the spire is included. This building is also an internet exchange point. The building is clad in a composite material. Numerous incidents of the cladding falling off the building have resulted in adjacent roads being closed.

Strumble Head Lighthouse

Strumble Head Lighthouse stands on Ynys Meicel (from Welsh: St. Michael's Island), also known as Strumble Head, a rocky island at the northwest corner of Pencaer area, five miles west of the town of Fishguard, in northern Pembrokeshire, Wales. History The present lighthouse was erected in 1908, but the first proposal to build a lighthouse here was made in 1825 by Trinity House. The lighthouse replaces a light-vessel previously moored in the south of Cardigan Bay. The lighthouse is similar in construction to Skokholm Lighthouse and is among the last lighthouses to be built in Britain. The circular stone tower is 55 ft high and still contains the original lantern complete with Fresnel lens manufactured by Chance Brothers, using a mercury bath as a low-friction bearing. Illumination was updated from paraffin to electricity in 1949. The Lighthouse was fully electrified in 1965. The Lighthouse was fully automated in 1980 and is now monitored from the Trinity House Operations Control Centre at Harwich with regular visits made by an attendant. A plaque in the lantern-room is inscribed with a verse from Psalm 127: Except the Lord Build the house They labour in vain that build it Except the Lord keep the city The Watchman waketh but in vain Under the lantern room sits a water tank which was used to store rainfall for use in the lighthouse's accommodation. The Lighthouse was reached by an iron bridge, and a handrail on the bridge and steps formed part pipe siphoning fuel mainland. Parts of the apparatus still survive. The bridge was replaced in 1963. An electric fog-signal was installed in 1969, replacing the previous system that used explosive signal charges. Stores were transferred from the mainland by cable but now largely arrive by helicopter and a helipad is found to the west of the lighthouse. Those familiar with transatlantic aviation may recognize the name from Strumble VOR.

Phare de Strumble Head

Le phare de Strumble Head se dresse sur l'île d'Ynys Meicel (du gallois voulant dire St Michael's Island), une île rocheuse au nord-ouest de la région de Pencaer, dans le nord du Pembrokeshire, en bout de la péninsule de Strumble Head à l'ouest de la ville de Fishguard, au Pays de Galles. Ce phare est géré par le Trinity House Lighthouse Service à Londres, l'organisation de l'aide maritime des côtes du Pays de Galles. Histoire Le phare actuel a été érigé en 1908, mais la première station d'aide à la navigation maritime a été construite en 1825 par Trinity House. Le phare remplace un bateau-phare amarré au sud de la baie de Cardigan. Le phare est semblable dans aa construction au phare de Skokholm et fait partie des derniers phares à être construit en Grande-Bretagne. La tour de pierre circulaire est de 18 m de haut contient toujours la lanterne d'origine avec la lentille Fresnel fabriquée par Chance Brothers (en). L'éclairage a été converti à l'électricité en 1949. Le phare a été entièrement électrifié en 1965. Le phare a été entièrement automatisé en 1980 et est maintenant surveillé à partir du Centre de contrôle des opérations Trinity House à Harwich avec des visites régulières effectuées par un préposé. Sous la salle de la lanterne se trouve un réservoir d'eau qui servait à stocker les eaux de pluie pour utilisation dans le logement du phare. Le phare est accessible par un chemin munie d'une main-courante. Le pont d'accès a été remplacé en 1963. Un signal de brouillard électrique a été installé en 1969, remplaçant le système précédent qui utilisait des charges explosives. Un héliport, à l'ouest du phare, permet une accessibilité facile par les techniciens de maintenance. La station est aussi équipé d'un système VHF Omnidirectional Range de positionnement radioélectrique utilisé pour la navigation aérienne transatlantique.

Latarnia morska Strumble Head

Latarnia morska Strumble Head – latarnia morska na skalistej wysepce St. Michael's Island oddzielonej od przylądka Strumble Head kilkudziesięciu metrową szczeliną. Położona jest na zachód od miasta Goodwick w hrabstwie Pembrokeshire, Walia. Latarnia jest wpisana na listę zabytków Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales pod numerem 124115. Stacja została zbudowana przez Trinity House w 1908 roku, aby zwiększyć bezpieczeństwo dla zwiększającego się ruchu statków do portu Fishguard. Wybrzeże pomiędzy Fishguard a półwyspem Strumble Head należało do jednego z najbardziej niebezpiecznych. W samym XIX wieku na jego skałach zatonęło ponad 60 statków. W 1965 roku wymieniono mechanizmy zasilania oraz optykę latarni i zelektryfikowano ją. W 1980 roku latarnia została zmodernizowana i w pełni zautomatyzowana. Jest nadzorowana z The Trinity House Operations and Planning Centre w Harwich. Przypisy

Castello di Swansea

Il castello di Swansea (in inglese: Swansea Castle; in gallese: Castell Abertawe) è una fortezza in rovina di Swansea, nel sud-est del Galles, costruita nella forma attuale tra la fine del XIII secolo e gli inizi del XIV secolo Guglielmo de Braose, I barone di Braose e Guglielmo de Braose, II barone di Braose, signori di Gower, ma le cui origini risalgono agi inizi del XII secolo. L'edificio è gestito dal Cadw. Storia In origine sorgeva in loco un castello già nel 1106 o nel 1116, che fu realizzato per volere di Henry de Beaumont, I conte di Warwick e fondatore della signoria di Gower. Il castello fu poi ceduto insieme alla signoria di Gower nel 1203 da re Giovanni a Guglielmo de Braose, IV signore di Bramber, che poi però dovette abbandonare l'edificio e fuggire all'estero dopo essere stato accusato di infedeltà nei confronti della Corona. Il castello originario, probabilmente un motte e bailey, fu oggetto di ripetuti attacchi da parte dei Gallesi e andò definitivamente distrutto agli inizi del XIII secolo. Dopo che la signoria di Gower era tornata in possesso dei De Braose, Guglielmo de Braose, I barone di Braose decise di ricostruire il castello in pietra. La prima fase della costruzione terminò nel 1284. Tre anni dopo, il castello venne saccheggiato da Rhys ap Maredudd. In seguito, il castello di Swansea (insieme alla signoria) di Gower passò dapprima nelle mani della famiglia Mowbray (nel 1331) e poi della famiglia Herbert. Agli inizi del XV secolo, il castello di Swansea resistette alla ribellione guidata da Owain Glyndŵr, che fu definitivamente sedata nel 1410. Il castello di Swansea era ridotto in un cattivo stato di conservazione già nel 1642, anno dello scoppio della guerra civile inglese, motivo per cui non fu utilizzato per le operazioni militari. L'edificio divenne nel frattempo, a partire al 1647, di Sir Oliver Cromwell, che ne rimase proprietario fino al 1658, anno della sua morte, prima di tornare in possesso della famiglia Herbert. Gli interni del castello furono successivamente ampliati nel corso del XVIII secolo, quando furono aggiunte varie stanze. Nel XX secolo, il castello ospitava la redazione di un giornale, dove lavorava Dylan Thomas. Architettura Il castello si affaccia sul fiume Tawe, è realizzato in arenaria e ha una forma ad L.

Swansea Marina

Swansea Marina is a marina in Swansea, south Wales, behind the barrage at the mouth of the River Tawe. There is a boatyard for building and servicing boats, and a few shops selling boating equipment. History After many years of industrial decline in the Lower Swansea valley, the South Dock of the Swansea Docks complex finally closed in 1969, leaving the area as an industrial wasteland which was sold to the council. Initially, a new relief road was proposed to take traffic away from the Oystermouth road. However, there was a government reorganisation in 1974 which decided on a new strategy. By 1975, a new planning strategy had been prepared which identified social and economic policy objectives with a new regeneration programme. It took a further five years for land acquisition, clearance and infrastructure installation before redevelopment could commence. New sea defence works were installed, the dock basin had to be cleared of debris and new moorings needed to be installed for the marina. More efficient modern lock gates were fitted, along with a new swing bridge, and the quaysides were paved to create a public walkway around the dockside. The yacht marina was opened in 1982, providing berths for 385 boats. It was not until 1992 that the Swansea barrage was completed, transforming the River Tawe into long lake. Additional berths were constructed behind the barrage, just outside the marina proper, providing berthing for an additional 200 boats. A lock was incorporated into the barrage design to allow the passage of boats between the River Tawe system and the sea. Maritime museum Swansea Museum displays some of its maritime collection at the marina, including: Lightship 91 Helwick Steam tug Canning References External links Media related to Swansea Marina at Wikimedia Commons Official website

Sygun Copper Mine

Sygun Copper Mine is a Victorian copper mine which closed in 1903 but was renovated and reopened by the Amies family as a tourist attraction in 1986, focusing on audio-visual tours of the underground workings. Sygun Copper Mine was once a main supplier of minerals in Wales. It is located about one mile (1.6 km) outside of the village of Beddgelert in the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. History Mining in the area started in Roman times, with small-scale tunnels into mineral veins. These were left relatively untouched until the Industrial Revolution when the tunnels were dug deeper into the hills largely due to rising demand for copper. In 1836 the annual production of ore was valued at £2,800. By 1862 2,000 to 3,000 tons of ore had been extracted from the mine. In 1898 the flotation process, using a mixture of oil and water to extract minerals, was developed by the Elmore brothers, Frank and Stanley, who owned the mine with their father. This was to increase the rate of extraction of copper from the ore. In 1903 the mine was shut down as further working would be unprofitable as the veins had been largely exhausted. The entrance to the mine was reopened in 1983 and restoration work began in autumn 1986. In restoration, hundreds of tons of rubble were removed from the abandoned mine and access was improved. In 2002 the mine and its subsidiaries were put up for sale on the retirement of the original developers. Awards The Amies family was awarded the Prince of Wales Award in 1988 for "the sensitive development of visitor facilities at Sygun Copper Mine" in 1988. The award was presented to the family by Prince Charles during an award ceremony, where an ingot of copper produced from local ore was gifted to him. The copper mine is now owned and managed by the Ward Family who have refurbished all aspects of the mine and its visitor attractions. Attractions The Sygun complex also includes an art museum and art gallery. The Sygun Museum of Wales also includes a Welsh mythology and Welsh history section, the Red Dragon Heritage Centre. The museum has one of the largest art collections of any privately controlled museum in Great Britain, small portions being exhibited at various times throughout the year. The collection is split into two main departments, antique and 20th century. Popular culture The copper mine's original buildings, some of which still exist, were shown in the 1958 film The Inn of the Sixth Happiness.

Tabernacle Chapel, Morriston

The Tabernacle Chapel (Capel y Tabernacl in Welsh), also known as Libanus Chapel, is a Grade I listed chapel on Woodfield Street in Morriston, Swansea, Wales. History Designed by the architect John Humphrey and built at a cost of £15,000 in 1872 (equivalent to £2 million in 2024). The debt incurred was paid off over more than forty years, with a special service held on New Years Day 1914 to celebrate clearing the debt The chapel has seating for 3,000 and has been called the "Nonconformist Cathedral of Wales". The design was copied many times elsewhere in Wales. The pulpit is the focus and below this is the Sedd Fawr (big seat) for the deacons. The Welsh language inscription above the organ reads Addolwch yr Arglwydd mewn Prydferthwch Sancteiddrwydd (Worship ye the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness), from Psalm 96. It is used for practice and performance by two local choirs: the Tabernacle Morriston Choir and the Morriston Ladies Choir. During restoration work in 2012, workers recovered a sixpenny piece placed under the original pinnacle – an unusual feature in a Nonconformist church – in 1872 by the daughter of the builder, industrialist Daniel Edwards.
