Talbot Athletic Ground

The Talbot Athletic Ground is a sports stadium located in central Port Talbot, Wales, with a maximum capacity of 10,000. The ground is home to Welsh rugby union team Aberavon RFC, and the Wales women's national team. History Originally called the Central Athletic Ground in the 1900s, the venue then owned by the Margam Estate played host to various sports including football, tennis, hockey, running, quoits and on one occasion a horse race. Aberavon RFC was granted exclusive use of the ground in 1913 - although it was sectioned off into allotments to help the war effort the following year. Officially re-opened in December 1921, the renamed Talbot Athletic Ground became a barrage balloon site during the Second World War. In March 1946, the ground attracted its record crowd, 19,000, for a match between Aberavon and a New Zealand Army team, "The Kiwis". The club became absolute owners of the ground in 1952, in a deal negotiated by Alderman Llewellyn Heycock, and various improvements and extensions were built in the 1950s, 1970s and 1980s. Although exclusively a rugby union venue for most of its existence, the Talbot Athletic Ground also hosted some matches played by the final Welsh professional rugby league side of the 20th century, South Wales, in 1996. The stadium has also hosted continental football matches. Afan Lido FC played the home leg of their Uefa Cup 1995/96, preliminary round, 1st leg tie against RAF Jelgava at the ground.

Talywain RFC

Talywain Rugby Football Club are a Welsh rugby union club based in Talywain near the town of Pontypool, Wales. The club is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Newport Gwent Dragons. In December 1947 a combined Pontypool, Talywain and Blaenavon side played against the Australian national team at Pontypool Park as part of a post-war rebuilding tour. The game ended 9–7 to the tourists. On 4 September 1973 Talywain played an invitational Monmouth team to celebrate the club's 75th anniversary and the opening of a new ground at Emlyn Park. Although Talywain RFC played out almost all matches for the 2007–08 season in Division Four East they withdrew from the league before the end of the season. All games played against Talywain by the other teams in the league were classed as null and void and Talywain were relegated to Division Five East.

The Blue Anchor Inn

The Blue Anchor Inn is a Grade II* listed inn in Aberthaw, Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales. History The building is said by the owners to be from 1380, but Cadw state it is from the 16th century. It is a long low building with walls and low timber beams, with a thatched roof. The inn was used as a tobacco drying shed during the smuggling days. It became a listed building in 1963. Until 1941 the Blue Anchor belonged to the Fonmon Estate. Bill Coleman became landlord and then passed it on to his son, John. John retired in 1987, passing it on to his two sons, Jeremy and Andrew Coleman who currently run it. Jeremy's son Richard works as a manager, making him the fourth generation of Coleman. The inn caught fire in 1922, 2004, and again in 2009, the last fire burning about 30% of the thatched roof. In 2008, the "Great Pubs of Wales", presented by John Sparkes, was filmed here. In 2010 a scene from the Hollywood blockbuster Killer Elite starring Robert De Niro, Clive Owen and Jason Statham was also shot here. More recently, a Bollywood thriller called "Aseq" was filmed here, and a number of BBC shoots have been filmed here too. Architecture The inn is a traditional Welsh thatch roofed, with old stonework and beams which retain a medieval feel. The Good Pub Guide said of "It's the appealing warren of little rooms and cosy corners in this character-laden, 600-year-old tavern that provide its appeal. The building has massive walls, low-beamed rooms and tiny doorways, with open fires everywhere, including one in an inglenook with antique oak seats built into its stripped stonework. Other seats and tables are worked into a series of chatty little alcoves, and the more open front bar still has an ancient lime-ash floor." The pub serves various ales and is also noted for its gastronomy. References External links Official site
The Dingle, Anglesey

The Dingle (Welsh: Nant y Pandy) is a nature reserve found just to the north of Llangefni, Anglesey, north Wales. Dingle is a common placename in the English language, which means "steep wooded valley", which describes it well. However, like many similar English names for natural attractions in Wales, e.g. Fairy Glen, the English name is recent and probably coined as tourism developed. The original Welsh name, still used by locals, is Nant y Pandy (Fulling Mill Brook), as there used to be a wool processing plant in the valley. The park is naturally divided into two parts, the wooded southern half and the northern half which is in a clearing. The main entrance is by St Cyngar’s Church where there is a car park. The reserve is 25 acres (10 ha) in area and is bisected by the Afon Cefni (River Cefni). It was formed by glaciers during the last ice age as they eroded the soft rock of the area. It gained its current name in the 1830s and was designated as a local nature reserve in 1995, although there has been a blanket tree preservation order in place since 1971. In 2003 the reserve was granted £122,000 for major improvements including better disabled access, boardwalks and tree sculptures. It was awarded the UK MAB Urban Wildlife Award For Excellence in 2004 thanks to this work. The boardwalks allow visitors to make their way north to Llyn Cefni, travelling parallel to the disused tracks of the Anglesey Central Railway. Red squirrels can be found in the area. According to some stories, pumas live in Nant y Pandy. In the 1970s big cats were banned from being pets, so many people came to North Wales to let their cats loose. References

The Gate is in a Grade II listed building (in what was formerly the Plasnewydd Presbyterian Church) and was opened in September 2004. History The Gate is housed in a Grade II listed church building, formerly the Plasnewydd Presbyterian Church and school hall. It is located in Keppoch Street overlooking Plasnewydd Square in the Roath area of Cardiff. The school hall was built in 1886 and the church was added in 1901 to the designs of architect W. Beddoe Rees in collaboration with J. H. James. In a Gothic style, the church has three bays to the front and four bays facing Keppoch Street. A polygonal bell tower is on the street corner. The main body of the church had (and still has) galleries on three sides, supported by iron columns with classical capitals. The building was received a heritage listing of Grade II in 1998, being a prominent, finely detailed church by an important architect. The Gate centre was purchased in 2000 and underwent a four-year redevelopment with the aid of £1.2M from the Heritage Lottery Fund, £1.2M from a private individual and £400,000 from the Welsh Assembly Government. After four years of planning and refurbishment under the guidance of architect Rob Cruwys, it opened its doors in September 2004. The BBC television programme Songs of Praise was filmed here and broadcast on 14 May 2006. Founders The centre was founded by religious author, Rob Lacey (d. 2006), and his wife Sandra Harnich-Lacey. Facilities After four years of planning and refurbishment under the guidance of architect Rob Cruwys, it opened the Gate doors in September 2004. The Grand Theatre, formerly an upper section of the church, is a performance space seating up to 350 on the original wooden pews and a raked gallery floor. The Dance Studio features the original carved pulpit and elaborate columns. The Gate has two Exhibition Galleries, the first in the original front entrance to the church with a glazed screen and curved pew, the other in a corridor against the original exterior south stone wall. A cafe bar has been formed in the original schoolroom, the oldest part of the building dating back to 1896. Other spaces available include an auditorium in which visiting theatre and musical groups are able to perform. Workshops and classes Throughout the week a variety of courses and workshops are held at the centre ranging from dance to creative writing. See The Gate Arts Centre Weekly Classes The Gate Arts Centre also offers drama classes. The theatre is often used for performances and plays.

The Riverside Hotel, Monmouth

The Riverside Hotel is a public house and hotel located in Cinderhill Street, Monmouth, Wales. The hotel has a bar and a function room and has 17 bedrooms. History The hotel was originally known as The Rising Sun from at least 1822 until the late 1980s when the name was changed. An inn called The Sun was recorded in 1717 in the same area but it is not clear if the establishment is the same. In 1972 the Rising Sun was opened as a motel. During the 1970s the motel was frequented by members of the British rock band Motörhead during the recording of their first album at nearby Rockfield Studios, reputedly because it was virtually the only establishment in the town with a pool table.

Monmouthský viadukt

Monmouthský viadukt (anglicky Monmouth Viaduct) je dnes rozbořený viadukt v Monmouthu ve Walesu. Byl postaven přes řeku Wye pro železniční trať Monmouth – Pontypool známou také jako Coleford, Monmouth, Usk & Pontypool Railway. Později byl v jeho blízkosti postaven další železniční most pro železniční trať Monmouth – Ross-on-Wye (neboli Ross and Monmouth Railway). Monmouthský viadukt byl postaven v roce 1861 za účelem prodloužení trati, má celkovou délku 183 metrů a kromě dvaceti pískovcových oblouků měl přímo na řekou dvě 23 metrů dlouhé ocelové části, které byly dány v roce 1967 do šrotu. Jednokolejná trať Monmouth – Pontypool byla otevřena v roce 1857 a původně vedla z Pontypoolu do stanice Monmouth Troy. Později byla v roce 1861 protažena do stanice Wyesham Halt právě přes pro tento účel postavený Monmouthský viadukt. Podle tehdejších plánů měla být trať dále prodloužena do Colefordu, ale z toho později sešlo, neboť se spojily železniční společnosti a ve vzniklé síti už do Colefordu existovalo jiné železniční spojení.

Monmouth Viaduct

The Monmouth Viaduct or Chippenham Meadow Viaduct is a 20-arch, 183-metre (600 ft) red sandstone viaduct, with two 23-metre (75 ft) steel lattice-girder spans over the river. It carried the Coleford, Monmouth, Usk & Pontypool Railway line across the River Wye at Monmouth, Wales. A further river crossing by the Ross and Monmouth Railway was later built nearby. The Coleford, Monmouth, Usk & Pontypool Railway was opened in 1857, running from Pontypool to Monmouth Troy. The single-track line was extended in 1861 to Wyesham Halt on the east side of the viaduct. The bridge which was originally planned to carry the line onwards to Coleford. However, the line terminated at Wyesham and was not extended to Coleford as the Great Western Railway and West Midland Railway did not pursue the extension. The bridge was not heavily used until 1876 when the Wye Valley Railway completed its line from Chepstow and south Wales. In 1883 the Coleford Railway was constructed from Wyesham Junction to Coleford but was closed as being uneconomical in 1916. The viaduct was originally planned to be constructed of wood, but the 1852 floods influenced the engineers to change to stone. The building of the viaduct took exactly ten months. It contains 9,000 cubic yards (6,900 m3) of masonry and 3,000 cubic yards (2,300 m3) of concrete. Two arches form the 20-metre (66 ft)-long eastern element of the structure. The bridge was designed by Christopher Firbank and built by Kennards of Crumlin. It was about 50 feet (15 m) above the water and lay on two 150-foot (46 m) girders resting on the stone arches. Large crowds assembled to watch the bridge being put into place in 1861. Only the stone parts of the viaduct remain extant. Gallery Duke of Beaufort Bridge The Ross and Monmouth Railway line opened in 1873 terminating at Monmouth Mayhill railway station. A further single line and three-span bridge of almost 300 feet (91 m) was constructed to join the two Monmouth railway stations, opening on 1 May 1874. It consists of three spans of steel-lattice girders on paired steel tubular piers with squared rubble abutments. The main span is 46 metres (151 ft) long and the shorter spans are 18 metres (59 ft) each. It was built by Edward Finch of Chepstow. The line between Monmouth Troy and Mayhill was closed on 6 January 1964. The R&MR Duke of Beaufort Bridge remains in use as a footpath. A Sustrans project aims to restore and redeck the bridge as part of improving local cycle connectivity. Gallery See also List of crossings of the River Wye References Sources Parkhouse, Neil (2013a).
