Newport Stadium

Newport Stadium, also known as Spytty Park, is an association football, rugby and athletics stadium in Newport, South Wales. It is the home of Newport City Football Club, Newport RFC and Newport Harriers Athletic Club. It was previously also used for home matches by Newport County and Albion Rovers football clubs. Newport County continue to use the stadium as a base for youth teams and senior squad training. It is part of the Newport International Sports Village, a major sports complex managed by Newport City Council. Facilities The stadium is owned and managed by Newport City Council and is part of the Newport International Sports Village, which includes the Wales National Velodrome. It was upgraded to Conference National standard for football and had a capacity of 5,058 prior to Newport County relocating to Rodney Parade in 2012. The stadium can accommodate international-standard track and field athletic events and is of Class 1 standard. The stadium floodlighting can achieve up to an average of 500 Lux. In October 2021, Newport RFC relocated their home matches from Rodney Parade to Newport Stadium whilst agreeing with the WRU to play two matches per season at Rodney Parade. Layout The stadium has two covered stands along the touchlines of the pitch. The west stand is all-seated with a capacity of 1,100 spectators. The east stand is a 1,600-capacity covered standing terrace, commonly referred to as The Shed. An uncovered standing terrace also exists at the north end. The stadium is approached from Spytty Road and has a large spectator car park. Temporary and demountable stands When Newport County played Blackpool in the 2001–02 FA Cup, a temporary all-seated stand was erected behind the goal at the north end in front of the terrace – at that time there was only the west stand and a very small north terrace. When Newport County played Swansea City in the 2006–07 FA Cup, a temporary stand was erected behind the goal at the south end. In 2011 further all-seated uncovered demountable stands were erected behind each goal: A 949-seater stand at the south end and a 1,197-seater stand in front of the north terrace. This took the total capacity of the stadium to 5,058 with 3,246 seated. Football attendance records The record attendance at the ground without temporary stands is 4,300 (a capacity crowd at the time) for Newport County against Manchester United in the 2003–04 season. With the addition of a temporary stand, the record attendance stands at 4,616, set for a Newport County FA Cup match against Swansea City on 11 November 2006.

Criccieth Castle

Criccieth Castle (walisisk: Castell Cricieth) er en walisisk borg, der ligger i hovedlandet mellem to strande i Criccieth, Gwynedd, i North Wales, på en klipperig halvø md overblik over Tremadog Bay. Den blev opført af Llywelyn den Store i Kongeriget Gwynedd, men den blev kraftigt ombygget efter den blev erobret af Edvard 1. i slutningen af 1200-tallet. I 1404 blev den erobret af Owain Glyndwr fra englænderne under glyndwroprøret, hvorefter den blev ødelagt, så den ikke kunne bruges igen af englænderne.

Castello di Criccieth

Il castello di Criccieth (in inglese: Criccieth Castle; in gallese: Castell Cricieth) è un castello fortificato in rovina del villaggio gallese di Criccieth, nella penisola di Llŷn (contea di Gwynedd, Galles nord-occidentale) fatto costruire tra il 1230 e il 1240 ca. dal principe Llywelyn il Grande (Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, 1173 ca.-1240). L'edificio è classificato come castello di primo grado (dal 1949). Etimologia Il nome del castello, che ha dato il nome anche al villaggio di Criccieth, deriverebbe dai termini gallesi crug, che significa "collina", e caeth, che significa "prigionieri". Descrizione Il castello si erge sulla sommità di una collinetta separata da due spiagge e che si affaccia sulla baia di Porthmadog. L'edificio è di forma triangolare ed è suddiviso in tre corti. Presenta una porta d'accesso unica nel suo genere tra i castelli eretti da Llywelyn il Grande e che probabilmente imita quella dei castelli inglesi, in particolare quella di Beeston Castle, nel Cheshire. Tra le mura del castello, è stata rinvenuta una piccola statua in smalto e rame raffigurante Cristo (ora conservata al National Museum of Wales di Cardiff), che fa pensare all'esistenza di una cappella all'interno dell'edificio. Storia La costruzione del castello voluta da Llywelyn il Grande risale probabilmente intorno al 1239 circa. Tra il 1255 e il 1282 fu fatta probabilmente costruire una nuova ala da parte di Llywelyn Ein Llyw Olaf ap Gruffydd. Nel 1283, il castello di Criccieth fu conquistato dalle truppe di Edoardo I d'Inghilterra. Quest'ultimo spese in seguito cifre ingenti per sistemare l'edificio. Nel 1294 o 1295, il castello fu probabilmente assediato dai Gallesi, comandati da Madog ap Llywelyn, ma la fortezza resse all'assedio grazie alla sua posizione che poteva godere della protezione del mare. Nel 1403-1404, il castello fu riconquistato dai Gallesi, per merito di Owain Glyndŵr, il quale però ordinò che venisse immediatamente incendiato. In seguito, l'edificio non venne più ricostruito. Nel 1933, l'edificio fu ceduto alla stato da Lord Harlech. Il castello di Criccieth nella cultura di massa Arte Il castello di Criccieth è raffigurato in vari dipinti di artisti quali J. M. W. Turner Note Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su castello di Criccieth Collegamenti esterni (EN) Criccieth Castle, su castlewales.com.
Castelo de Criccieth

O Castelo de Criccieth (em galês: Castell Cricieth; em inglês: Criccieth Castle) é um castelo situado num promontório entre duas praias em Criccieth, Venedócia, no Norte de Gales, numa península rochosa dominando a Baía de Tremadog. Encontra-se classificado como um listed building com o Grau I desde 8 de fevereiro de 1949. História A construção do Castelo de Criccieth começou no início do século XIII a mando de Llywelyn ap Iorwerth de Venedócia, tendo sido continuado pelo seu neto Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, Príncipe de Gales. Devido à sua localização estratégica, foi um ponto fulcral na guerra entre Inglaterra e Gales - acabou por ser capturado por Eduardo I de Inglaterra durante a sua segunda campanha no Norte de Gales (1282-1283). O elemento mais notável de Criccieth é a sua portaria com torres geminadas, rara entre os castelos de construção galesa. Foi construída por Llywelyn, provavelmente entre 1230 e 1240 e possivelmente copiada dum modelo inglês. Em 1283, o castelo foi tomado pelo exército de Eduardo I e reconstruido, incluindo a adição duma outra torre à muralha do pátio interior e o reforço da Torre do Mecanismo ("Engine Tower" - agora em ruínas), a qual servia como fundação para uma máquina de cerco. Em 1294, Madoc ap Llywelyn, primo de Llywelyn ap Gruffydd, começou uma revolta contra o governo inglês que se espalhou rapidamente por Gales. Várias cidades detidas pelos ingleses forma arrasadas e Criccieth, juntamente com o Castelo de Harlech e o Castelo de Aberystwyth, foi sitiado naquele inverno. Os seus residentes sobreviveram até à primavera, quando o castelo foi reabastecido. O castelo parece ter sido usado como prisão até 1404, quando Owain Glyndŵr capturou o edifício, demolindo as suas muralhas e incendiando-o. Algumas muralhas ainda mostram essas marcas de queimadura. O Castelo de Criccieth também foi um dos vários locais que o artista romântico William Turner usou para a sua famosa série de pinturas representando marinheiros naufragados. Actualmente, o castelo é conservado pela Cadw e inclui uma exposição com informação sobre os castelo galeses, e uma outra dedicada a Giraldus Cambrensis.

Замок Криккиет

Замок Криккиет (англ. Criccieth Castle, валл. Castell Cricieth) — валлийский замок, расположенный на мысе между двумя пляжами в Криккиете, Гуинет (Северный Уэльс). Возведён королём Гвинеда Лливелином Великим, но после захвата войсками короля Англии Эдуарда I в конце XIII века был в значительной степени перестроен. Замок является памятником архитектуры первой категории и находится в ведении Cadw. В нём выставлены экспонаты из валлийских замков и их история, а так представлена информация о англо-нормандском хронисте XII века Гиральде Камбрийском. История До каменного замка в Криккиете на другом месте стоял замок по типу мотт и бейли. В 1283 году замок был захвачен англичанами под командованием короля Эдуарда I, а затем реконструирован Джеймсом из Сент-Джорджа. В 1294 году Мадог ап Лливелин, дальний родственник Лливелина ап Грифида, поднял восстание против англичан. Валлийцы сожгли несколько английских городов, а Криккиет (как и замки Харлех и Аберистуит) осаждали всю зиму. Обитатели замка сумели продержаться до весны, когда припасы были пополнены. В XIV веке в замке жил известный валлийский констебль по имени Хиуэл ап Груффид, известный как Хауэлл Топор, который сражался на стороне Эдуарда III в битве при Пуатье в 1356 году. Замок использовался в качестве тюрьмы до 1404 года, когда валлийские войска захватили его во время восстания Оуайна Глиндура. Затем валлийцы разрушили стены и подожгли замок. На некоторых камнях до сих пор заметны следы пожара. Мастер романтического пейзажа Уильям Тёрнер запечатлел замок Криккиет в своей знаменитой серии картин, изображающих моряков, потерпевших кораблекрушение.

Queen's Square, Wrexham

Queen's Square (Welsh: Sqwâr y Frenhines) is a public square in Wrexham city centre, North Wales. It is located adjacent to the Wrexham Guildhall and Old Library. It is a main site for various events in the city, in particular outdoor markets. Description The Old Library and Henblas Square development are located next to the square. Next to the square is also a proposed re-development known as "Chapter Court", which included the Wrexham Enterprise Hub from 2018 to 2023. From 1910 to 1960, adjacent to the old library, the square housed a temporary cinema building known as the "Glynn Cinema", or "Glynn Picture House". Prior to the Henblas Square development, there was a Vegetable Market next to the modern Queens Square, but it was eventually demolished for the Henblas Square development. The old Queen's Square was located nearby on what is now the site around Henblas Street. The original square was market square surrounded by two-storey buildings, similar to the Chester Rows. Various events are held in the square, such as for the armed forces, emergency services, and Saint David's Day. A family playday and art exhibitions are also held in the square, such as Wrexham's Christmas tree (including the annual Christmas light switching-on event), the Knife Angel, and a 2013 man in a bin exhibit. For Focus Wales 2023 festival, it hosted Hwb Cymraeg as part of the May event. In 2005, it was the first site in Wales chosen for a public broadcasting system, which involved the installing of a large television screen. A weekly market on Mondays has been held in the square since 2006. Routinely various one-day markets take place in the square, which included an artisan market, continental market, plant-based market, and part of Wrexham's Victorian Christmas market. Re-development proposals for the square were put forward by the council in 2016. In February 2026, a oak wooden sign spelling out "W R E C S A M", the Welsh name for Wrexham, was placed on the site, but later moved to the former Hippodrome (proposed Ryan Rodney Reynolds Memorial Park) site, due to health and safety concerns. Concerns of the use of "Wrecsam" over the original "Wrexham" were also mentioned by a councillor. It was later announced it would bemoved back to the square, following works on the sign, in a council u-turn. References
Swansea Crown Court

Swansea Crown Court is a Crown Court venue which deals with criminal cases at St Helen's Road in Swansea, Wales. History Until the late 1980s, judicial hearings in Swansea were held in the west wing of Swansea Guildhall. However, as the number of court cases in southwest Wales grew, it became necessary to commission a dedicated courthouse for criminal matters. The site chosen, which was close to the guildhall but on the opposite side of St Helen's Road, had been occupied by an old tramway depot. The new building was designed by the Welsh architect Sir Alex Gordon in the neoclassical style, built in concrete at a cost of £5.2 million, and was completed in 1988. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of eleven bays facing onto St Helen's Road. The central bay featured a wide opening on the ground floor and a prominent bipartite oriel window on the first floor which was enhanced by a carved Royal coat of arms placed between the two parts. The central bay was flanked by two full-height triangular piers. Internally, the building was laid out to accommodate three courtrooms. The custodial area was extensively refurbished at a cost of £220,000 in August 2013. Notable cases have included the trial and wrongful conviction, now recognised as a serious miscarriage of justice, of Yusef Abdullahi, Stephen Miller and Tony Paris, in November 1990, for the murder of Lynette White. Other cases have also included the trial and conviction of Jason Richards and Ben Hope, in February 2013, for the murder of Aamir Siddiqi, and the trial and conviction of an unnamed man, in October 2019, on 36 counts of rape and one count of an assault by penetration against his own daughters.

Bailey Park, Abergavenny

Bailey Park is an urban park in the town of Abergavenny, in Monmouthshire Wales. It was founded in 1884 on land donated by Crawshay Bailey, Junior. The park is home to Abergavenny Rugby Football Club. In the 20th century, the park had a lido, but this was later decommissioned and demolished. In the early 21st century, a campaigning group was established to work for its reinstatement. Bailey Park is registered Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The entrance gates, gate piers, walls and railings on the Hereford Road are listed at Grade II. The park is managed by Monmouthshire County Council. History and description Crawshay Bailey, Junior (1841-1887), son and heir of the ironmaster Crawshay Bailey of Cyfarthfa Castle, Merthyr Tydfil, inherited some 12,000 acres (49 km2) of land in Wales on his father's death in 1872. Bailey Jr. displayed no interest in his father's commercial and industrial activities, instead using his inherited wealth to set himself up as a country gentleman. Establishing his own country seat at Maindiff, outside of Abergavenny, he became a considerable benefactor to the town, while developing a large landholding around Llantilio Pertholey and indulging in country sports, particularly foxhunting. In 1883 Bailey leased 8 hectares of land known as Priory Fields, off the Hereford Road in Abergavenny, and laid out a public park. In 1894 the park was bought by the Improvement Commissioners, predecessors of Abergavenny Town Council, using money gifted by Bailey's heirs. The park was equipped with many of the facilities common to those established in the Victorian era, including a bandstand, bowling greens and greenhouses. In 1939 a lido was constructed but this was closed in 1996 due to concerns over operating and maintenance costs. The structure was later demolished. A campaigning group was established in around 2020 to campaign for the reconstruction of the lido and its reopening for public use, but the group announced its disbandment in late 2024. The park is home to Abergavenny Rugby Football Club which was founded in 1875. Bailey Park is listed at Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The entrance gates, gate piers, walls and railings on the Hereford Road are Grade II listed structures. The park is managed by Monmouthshire County Council.

Linda Vista Gardens

Linda Vista Gardens is a small urban park in the town of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire Wales. Originally the garden of a private house, the gardens came into public ownership in 1957, and were later extended as a public park. Linda Vista Gardens are registered Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. A K6 telephone box at the entrance to the gardens is listed also at Grade II. The park is managed by Monmouthshire County Council. History and description Linda Vista House was built as a private home in 1875. Its owner, Henry Jenkins, was born in Abergavenny, and subsequently made his fortune in the construction industry in Chile. Returning to his hometown, he built his villa and laid out the gardens, which lay mainly to the south of the house. In 1957, the gardens came into public ownership. They were subsequently extended, including land at Castle Meadows, and an extensive replanting was undertaken. The park includes a number of specimen trees, including a Ginkgo biloba. Parks & Gardens UK records the "exceptional quality and variety of the planting". Linda Vista Gardens are listed at Grade II on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. A volunteer group, the Friends of Linda Vista Gardens, exists to preserve and improve the park. Gallery References External links Park homepage RCAHMW entry
Point of Ayr Lighthouse

The Point of Ayr Lighthouse, also known as the Talacre Lighthouse, is a Grade II listed building situated on the north coast of Wales, on the Point of Ayr, near the village of Talacre. History It was authorised by the Chester Lighthouse Act 1776 (16 Geo. 3. c. 61) and built in 1776 by a trust of the Mayor, Recorder and Aldermen of Chester to warn ships entering between the Dee and the Mersey Estuary. It was replaced by a pile light and was decommissioned in 1844. It is now a privately owned property. The lighthouse was listed for sale in 2011 by then owner James McAllister, along with two acres of land, for £100,000. It was eventually sold in April 2012 for £90,000 to a private couple who continue to own the property. Two alleged incidents have been reported by Wales Online. In 2009, the BBC reported that planning permission had been sought to erect a "human sculpture" inspired by the reported ghostly sightings on the lighthouse balcony. This application was made by then owner James McAllister who intended it to serve as a "serious art installation". Local artist Angela Smith was contracted to design the 7 foot stainless steel ‘lighthouse keeper’ with the initial planning permission being approved for a three-year period. Permission was not sought to retain the structure after this point and the sculpture was relocated. In 2007 the lighthouse was damaged by storms which resulted in the metal steps leading to the building becoming dislocated and also resulted structural damage with a hole being created in the base according to the BBC. The cost of repairs was covered by the owners of a local caravan park who were involved in the ownership of the lighthouse at the time. The lighthouse featured in the background in a 2011 TV advertisement by paint manufacturer Dulux. The advertisement was designed to mark the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of their Old English Sheepdog mascot. See also List of lighthouses in Wales Notes References
