Racecourse Ground

Racecourse Ground (Welsh: Y Cae Ras) is een voetbalstadion in de Welshe stad Wrexham. Het is de thuisbasis van voetbalclub Wrexham AFC. Het is het oudste internationale voetbalstadion ter wereld waar nog steeds internationale wedstrijden worden gespeeld Op 26 januari 1957 speelde Wrexham AFC tegen Manchester United. De twee ploegen stonden toen tegenover elkaar in de vierde ronde van de FA Cup. Wrexham verloor met 0-5 voor de ogen van 34.445 supporters. Dat is tot op heden de hoogste opkomst ooit op Racecourse Ground. Tribunes Racecourse Ground bestaat uit vier tribunes, die elk een naam dragen. Sinds 1957 werd er voor het eerst stadionverlichting geïnstalleerd. The Kop The Kop (afkorting van Spionkop) werd genoemd naar de Slag bij Spionkop en was de staantribune van de thuissupporters. Officieel heet deze tribune de Crispin Lane End oftewel Town End. Er was plaats voor zo'n 5.000 personen, waardoor The Kop een van de grootste staantribunes was in het Engels voetbal. De tribune werd gebouwd na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Nadat de tribune was afgekeurd en enkele jaren niet meer in gebruik was, werd deze gesloopt in 2021. Sinds eind 2023 is er een tijdelijke tribune geplaatst, in afwachting van de bouw van een permanente tribune. Sainsbury-tribune Deze tribune ligt met de rug naar het vroegere Yale College van Wrexham en heette vroeger dan ook de Yale-tribune. Dit deel van het stadion werd in 1972 gebouwd, met het oog op de eerste Europese wedstrijden van Wrexham FC. Hier bevinden zich ook de kleedkamers van de spelers en de kantoren van het bestuur. In de hoek van deze tribune is er plaats voorzien voor de bezoekende supporters. Eric Roberts Builders De Eric Roberts Builders-tribune is genoemd naar de lokale aannemer Eric Roberts en heette voordien The Border, verwijzend naar een toen nog bestaande brouwerij. Dit gedeelte beschikt over zitplaatsen en is voorbehouden aan de thuissupporters. In het verleden heette de tribune ook weleens de Marstons-tribune of Tech End. Opvallend is dat vroeger de bezoekende supporters in deze tribune plaats mochten nemen. Maar omwille van de goede akoestiek behoort deze tribune sinds 2007 toe aan de thuisfans. Mold Road Het stadion is gelegen op Mold Road, een straat in Wrexham. Een van de tribunes is genoemd naar deze straat. Ooit werd de naam veranderd in Pryce Griffith, een voormalig bestuurslid van de voetbalclub. Maar omdat Griffith betrokken was bij een schandaal omtrent de grond waarop het stadion gelegen is, werd de tribune terug omgedoopt tot Mold Road. Deze tribune werd in 1999 vernieuwd en heeft onder meer een restaurant en een tv-studio.
LC, Swansea

The LC is a leisure centre in the city centre of Swansea, Wales. Originally Swansea Leisure Centre, it was rebranded as 'The LC' when the facility reopened to the public on 1 March 2008 after a £32 million makeover. The building's exterior was revitalised by replacing concrete panels with clear glass, translucent glazing, and timber panelling. History Swansea Leisure Centre was built on the site of the former Swansea Victoria railway station, opened by the Queen during her silver jubilee celebrations in 1977. The original centre featured the first wave machine to be installed in a leisure centre in Wales; it became one of Wales' top leisure facilities and a substantial tourist draw, attracting more than 800,000 users annually at its peak. After its closure in 2003, Swansea Council decided to refurbish the centre, which was reopened – again by the Queen – on 7 March 2008. Features The LC's waterpark features include water slides, surf simulator, a 30 ft climbing wall, an indoor play area, a multi-purpose sports and exhibition hall (which was an official training facility for the 2012 London Olympics), exercise areas, and a spa and sauna section. Logo The "LC" logo was designed to be intentionally ambiguous, with the '2' implying the relaunch of the old Swansea Leisure Centre, or a wave and some mountains, signifying Swansea and the surrounding area or the surf simulator and climb wall inside the LC, or a swan, representing Swansea.

Castello di Margam

Il castello di Margam (in inglese: Margam Castle) è uno storico edificio del villaggio gallese di Margam (sobborgo di Port Talbot, Galles meridionale), costruito in gran parte tra il 1830 e il 1835-1836 per volere di Christopher Rice Mansell Talbot e su progetto dell'architetto Thomas Hopper e situato all'interno del Margam Country Park. Fu per lungo tempo la residenza della famiglia Talbot. L'edificio è classificato come castello di primo grado (dal 24 febbraio 1975). Descrizione Il castello, costruito in stile gotico-Tudor, si trova nei pressi di un altro importante edificio cittadino, l'abbazia di Margam. L'edificio è a due piani, realizzato in pietra di concio. Storia La costruzione del castello fu ordinata negli anni trenta del XIX secolo da Christopher Rice Mansell Talbot, che voleva far realizzare un edificio che rendesse onore alla storia di Margam. La costruzione iniziò nel 1830 e terminò cinque o sei anni dopo. Per la costruzione del castello fu utilizzata della pietra proveniente dalle vicine miniere di Pyle: i lavori di costruzione ammontarono a 50.000 sterline. Uno degli assidui visitatori del castello fu il celebre fotografo Henry Fox Talbot di Lacock, cugino di Christopher Rice Mansell Talbot: a lui si devono alcune delle prime foto dell'edificio. Dopo la morte di Christopher Rice Mancell Talbot, avvenuta nel 1890, l'edificio fu ereditato dalla figlia di quest'ultimo, Emily Charlotte. Nel 1892, Emily Charlotte Talbot fece ammodernare alcune sale del castello, aggiungendo anche dei nuovi bagni. Tra la fine del secolo e l'inizio del secolo successivo, il castello ospitò numerose serate mondane. Dopo la morte di Emily Charlotte Talbot, avvenuta nel 1918, il castello di Margam fu ereditato dal Capitano Andrew Mansel Talbot Fletcher, che consentì l'apertura al pubblico dei giardini. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, il castello ospitò le truppe statunitensi e fu visitato anche da Dwight Eisenhower. Nel frattempo, nel 1942, l'edificio cessava di essere di proprietà della famiglia Talbot, allorché venne acquistato da David Bevan. Quest'ultimo, però, non abitò mai nel castello che rischiò così di cadere in rovina, finché, nel 1973, non divenne di proprietà del Glamorgan County Council, che lo acquistò da Bevan per la cifra di 400.000.000 sterline. Quattro anni dopo, gli interni del castello andarono completamente distrutti a causa di un incendio. La paventata opera di restauro è stata più volte rimandata. Leggende Secondo la leggenda, il castello sarebbe abitato dal fantasma di un uomo, tale Robert Scott, che vi aveva lavorato per anni come portiere.

Abbazia di St Dogmaels

L'abbazia di St Dogmaels (in inglese: St Dogmaels Abbey; in gallese: Abaty Llandudoch) è un'abbazia in rovina del villaggio gallese di St Dogmaels, nel Pembrokeshire (Galles sud-occidentale), fondata nel 1115/1120 da monaci tironensi. Attualmente le rovine dell'abbazia vengono utilizzate per la messa in scena di spettacoli teatrali. Descrizione Le mura occidentali e settentrionali della navata sono risalenti al XIII secolo. Il transetto settentrionale è in stile Tudor. e presenta figure in rilievo raffiguranti San Matteo, il leone di San Marco e l'Arcangelo Michele. Storia Sul luogo in cui sorse l'abbazia era presente sin dal V-VI secolo una comunità di monaci celtici. Questa comunità fu allontanata nel 1115 dai Normanni per essere sostituita da monaci benedetti provenienti dall'abbazia francese di Tiron. La comunità era composta da 12 monaci e un abate. Ufficialmente l'abbazia fu fondata il 20 settembre 1120. dal barone Robert fitz Martin e da sua moglie, Maud Peverel (sorella di William Peverel il Giovane): in realtà Fitz Martin fu colui che garantì il terreno e che fornì il denaro necessario per la realizzazione dell'abbazia. La costruzione del complesso monastico proseguì in seguito anche tra il XIII e il XVI secolo. I monaci dell'abbazia seguivano le rigide regole imposte dalla Regola di San Benedetto. L'abbazia fu abbandonata nel 1536 con la dissoluzione dei monasteri voluta da Enrico VIII d'Inghilterra. e fu in seguito adibita a dimora privata. L'abbazia di St Dogmaels nella cultura di massa Cinema e fiction Nel 1986 le rovine dell'abbazia di St Dogmaels furono utilizzate come location per alcune scene del film Il nome della rosa.

The Gnoll

The Gnoll (Welsh: Y Gnol) in Neath, Wales is a sports ground, with a capacity of 6,000 (formerly 15,000). It is used primarily for rugby union, rugby league, and cricket, in addition to having previously been used for association football. Description In July 2009, Neath RFC presented plans for the redevelopment of the Gnoll, including building a community centre on the site, which were criticised by Neath town councillors as being "too woolly". Rugby union The Gnoll is the traditional home of Neath RFC, one of the leading Welsh clubs in the pre-regional era of rugby. It has hosted Neath since the club was founded in 1871. The ground has a capacity of 6,000. The Gnoll has been used as the home ground for the Wales women's national rugby union team, including during the 2016 Women's Six Nations Championship where it was the site of a victory over France following a try by Megan York which qualified the team for the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup. Rugby league South Wales Scorpions played at the Gnoll from their formation in 2010 until 2013. The ground hosted a Wales national rugby league team match during the 2010 European Cup, where Wales defeated Ireland 31–30. It also hosted Ireland at the Gnoll in at the 2011 Rugby League Four Nations. Wales won the game by 30 points to 6. The stadium also hosted Wales v Cook Islands at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup; it was the smallest venue used at the tournament and only hosted a single game. In July 2024, the stadium became the official home ground of all Welsh national rugby league teams ran by the Wales Rugby League. Association football Welsh Premier League club Neath Athletic played at The Gnoll between 2008, and their liquidation in 2012. The ground hosted its first ever football match when Neath Athletic played Swansea City in a pre-season friendly in July 2008. Cricket The Gnoll started to host some Glamorgan County Championship fixtures in the 1930s, and in 1954 an indoor cricket school was opened at the site. However, problems with the pitch meant that from the late 1960s the ground was only used for one-day matches - in 1969 the Gnoll staged the county's first-ever home game in the Sunday League. In 1974, the Gnoll was dropped from the county's 1st XI fixture list, although it played host to Glamorgan's matches against the touring Australians in 1985 and 1993. Championship cricket returned to The Gnoll between 1986 and 1992 with Glamorgan staging five home games there, and one further first-class cricket game was played against a Young Australia team in 1995. Glamorgan returned to The Gnoll in August 2022, scheduling two 50-over matches in the 2022 Royal London One-Day Cup. See also List of rugby league stadiums by capacity References

Castell Dinas Bran

Castell Dinas Brân er en borg fra middelalderen, der ligger på toppen af et bakkedrag overbyen Llangollen i Denbighshire, Wales. Den nuværende borg blev sandsynligvis bygget i 1260'erneaf Gruffydd Maelor 2., en prins fra Powys Fadog. Fæstningen er opført på stedet, hvor der tidligere har været flere forsvarsværker, inklusive et voldsted fra jernalderen. Dinas Brân er blevet oversat til både "kragens fæstning" eller "Brâns fæstning", hvor Brân er navnet på en person eller en nærliggende å. På engelsk er navnet "Crow Castle" også blevet brugt siden i hvert fald slutningen af 1700-tallet.

Dolforwyn Castle

Dolforwyn Castle (walisisk: Castell Dolforwyn) er en walisisk middelalderborg der ligger over landsbyen Abermule, Powys. Fæstningen blev etableret af Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, prins af Gwynedd omkring 1273-1277 på toppen af en højderyg med god udsigt over den øvre del af Severn Valley. Den blev erobret af Roger Mortimer og Henry de Lacy i 1277 efter en 14 dage lang belejring, da Edvard 1. af England ikke havde givet tilladelse til opførslen. Den blev forlad til 1300-tallet, og har siden stået som en ruin. Dolforwyn Castle er et godt eksempel på walisisk borgarkitektur, der adskiller sig fra de borge, der blev opført af englænderne efter deres erobring af Wales.

Dolforwyn Castle

Dolforwyn Castle ist eine Burgruine im walisischen County Powys, etwa 4 Meilen von Montgomery in der Nähe des Dorfes Abermule. Sie wurde auf einem bewaldeten Bergrücken über dem Flusstal des Severn errichtet und ist ein gutes Beispiel für die Burgen der walisischen Aristokratie im Gegensatz zu den von den Engländern in Wales erbauten. Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, letzter Herrscher eines unabhängigen Wales, hatte bis 1263 die Distrikte Cedewain und Ceri unter seine Kontrolle gebracht und war 1267 von Heinrich III. als Prince of Wales bestätigt worden. Das ab 1273 über dem Severn errichtete Dolforwyn Castle sollte seine Macht über die eroberten Gebiete sichern. Die Verletzung der englischen Machtansprüche verstärkte jedoch die Spannungen zwischen Llywelyn und dem neuen englischen König Eduard I. In der Folge wurde die Burg schon kurz nach ihrer Fertigstellung von Roger Mortimer, 1. Baron Mortimer, und Henry De Lacy belagert und am 8. April 1277 eingenommen. Die Nutzung der Burg wurde zunächst dem walisischen Prinzen Gruffydd ap Gwenwynwyn zugesprochen, später fiel sie aber zusammen mit den Distrikten Ceri und Cedewain an Roger Mortimer. Dolforwyn Castle scheint bis in die Zeit Richards II. (1377–1399) bewohnt worden zu sein, wurde jedoch bereits 1381 als „ruinös und wertlos“ beschrieben und war danach bedeutungslos. In jüngerer Zeit kaufte die Ruine Cecil Marcus Knatchbull-Hugessen (1863–1933), Großvater des Filmproduzenten John Knatchbull. 1955 überließ der Erbe das Anwesen der walisischen Denkmalbehörde Welsh Ancient Monuments (Vorgängerinstitution der Cadw), die zwischen 1981 und 2002 auf dem Gelände Ausgrabungen durchführen ließ und es anschließend der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich machte.

St. Wonnow (Wonastow)

St. Wonnow ist eine anglikanische Pfarrkirche der Church in Wales in Wonastow, einer kleinen Ortschaft südwestlich von Monmouth in Wales. Die Kirche ist seit 1953 als Kulturdenkmal der Kategorie Grade II* eingestuft. Geschichte Die dem bretonischen Heiligen Guénolé (Englisch Winwaloe, in der lokalen Abschleifung St. Wonnow) geweihte Kirche befindet sich an einem Standort, an dem bereits im 7. Jahrhundert eine erste Kirche errichtet worden sein soll. Die Gründung geht möglicherweise auf Missionstätigkeit der Abtei von Landévennec in der Region zurück. Das heutige Gotteshaus geht auf das 12. Jahrhundert zurück, erscheint aber als Ergebnis von grundlegenden Restaurierungsmaßnahmen durch den Besitzer des westlich an das Gotteshaus angrenzenden Herrensitzes Wonastow Court, Sir William Baronet of Chevet, in den Jahren 1863/65. Die nördliche Vorhalle wurde 1909 durch Arthur Grove hinzugefügt. Der gedrungene Eindruck des Kirchengebäudes entsteht durch das kurze Langhaus, dem sich ein gleichlanger Rechteckchor anschließt.

St Wonnow's Church, Wonastow

The Church of St Wonnow is the parish church of Wonastow, a small rural village 2 miles (3.2 km) south-west of Monmouth, south east Wales. It is a Grade II* listed building. History and architecture St Wonnows derives its name from Saint Wonnow or Winwaloe, a sixth-century saint in Brittany, whose cult was probably brought to Britain by Saint Gwenhael, his successor as abbot of Landévennec. The first church at Wonastow is thought to have been built in the seventh century, when Cynfwr ap Iago gave the church and village to the Diocese of Llandaff. Parts of the present church are thought to date from the twelfth century. The chancel is in the Perpendicular style, built of Old Red Sandstone and with square-headed windows and cinquefoiled ogee lights. The roof, supported by four pairs of hammer beams, is of unknown mediaeval date, restored in 1977. Monuments inside the church include one to George Milborne, who died in 1637. The entire building was heavily restored in the 1860s, and the tower is dated 1865. Further restoration was undertaken in the 1880s, through gifts by Sir John and Lady Adela Searle after they came to live at nearby Wonastow Court. They also provided a new porch in 1909, and a rood screen and reredos in 1913, as well as stained glass windows and a new altar. The church today Although only small numbers attend the weekly service, there is a great deal of regard and affection for the church by the wider community as witnessed by the successful restoration programme in recent years. The church is normally locked but visitors can obtain the key locally by prior arrangement with the Vicar. Church incumbents References
