Allt yr Esgair

Allt yr Esgair is a hill in the Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, Wales. It is commonly referred to locally as simply 'The Allt'. The Welsh name signifies 'wooded slope of the ridge'. It takes the form of a northwest-southeast aligned ridge which rises to a height of 393m (1289 feet) and which overlooks the valley of the River Usk to the west and south. To the northeast are panoramic views across Llangorse Lake to the Black Mountains There is a viewfinder on the summit erected as a monument to Eirene Lloyd White, Baroness White of Rhymney. It is a Marilyn with a prominence of 199 metres (653 feet). Geology The hill is formed from sandstones and mudstones of the Senni Formation (formerly the Senni Beds) of the Old Red Sandstone laid down during the Devonian period. The lower slopes are formed from mudstones and sandstones of the slightly older St. Maughans Formation. A number of small sandstone quarries, now disused, adorn the slopes. The hill probably stood out above the Usk Valley glacier ice during the ice age. At a late stage in de-glaciation, the cols at either end of the ridge at the villages of Pennorth and Bwlch are believed to have conveyed water from a greatly enlarged Llangorse Lake into the Usk catchment. Access Several bridleways run along the length of the hill giving access to walker, horseriders and mountain-bikers. The summit area and the woodland to the northeast are open access for walkers. A car park off the A40 road immediately south of the hill provides a convenient starting point for many walkers. Archaeology Allt yr Esgair's summit is crowned by an Iron Age hillfort, one of several in the Usk Valley. The Roman road between the Roman fort of CICVCIVM at Y Gaer, Brecon and Gobannium at Abergavenny runs along the ridge and is followed by a modern-day bridleway.

Altolusso

Altolusso (meaning "high luxury" in Italian) is a residential building in Cardiff, Wales. The building is 72 metres (232 ft) high and has 23 floors. The tower was the tallest residential building in Wales upon its completion in 2005, and remains one of the tallest buildings in Cardiff and in Wales. The Y-shaped building contains 292 luxury one to three-bedroom apartments with views across the city. A three-storey car park allocated to the property. Altolusso is located close to The Hayes area of Cardiff city centre, near Cardiff International Arena and Cardiff Queen Street railway station. History Historically, the site had been used for the production and storage of coal gas since 1837; when the Cardiff Gas Light and Coke Co established their facilities in Bute Terrace (formerly known as Whitmore Lane). The majority of the buildings remaining on site that were demolished in order for the scheme to proceed dated from the 1890s with some minor additions and modifications during the 1960s and 1990s. Architecture Situated on the site of the former New College, the property retains the Victorian façade of the college for the first two floors. The façade is not listed, but was retained at the request of Cardiff Council during the planning application. It had fallen into a poor state of repair by 2003, and modifications had been made over the years (such as a driveway leading through to the rear buildings). Extensive renovation and reconstruction of the façade was carried out using stone blocks from some of the rear buildings that were demolished. The façade forms part of the three-storey main foyer with a glass atrium roof. The design of the building forms a three-leaf clover with three sweeping curvilinear wings emerging from a central service and access core. The design intended not just to enhance the appeal of the development, but it was necessary to retain a high level of flatness and smoothness through the selection and application of the building's acrylic-based render to provide the building with durability and resilience against harsh weather conditions. Location The building is bounded to the north by Bute Terrace, which forms part of the Cardiff inner distributor box, to the south by the main South Wales Main Line, to the east by Harlech Court with a car park and four-storey office building on a first floor podium and to the west by Meridian Gate, formerly a five-storey office building occupied by Axa Insurance. Its 3-4m high Victorian masonry and brick retaining wall defines the southern boundary of the site while the dock feeder, an artificial water course, passes the south eastern corner. Use in media Altolusso has been used during filming for the science fiction TV series Torchwood, which is filmed and produced in Cardiff. Filming took place on 8 June 2006, and shows the main character, Jack Harkness, standing on top of the building overlooking Cardiff.

Anglesey Circuit

The Anglesey Circuit (Welsh: Trac Môn) is a motor racing circuit located in Ty Croes, Anglesey, Wales. It plays host to a variety of motorsport events including car racing, motorcycle racing, car sprints, stage rallies and drifting. It opened as a fully licensed MSA and ACU championship racing circuit in 1997. The circuit was significantly redeveloped in 2006, and as of 2019 further plans for additional development have been in place. History Anglesey Circuit is located on a former British Army and RAF facility on the island of Anglesey, just off the North coast of Wales. The facilities were decommissioned in 1992, and it would be the Wirral 100 motor racing club that first identified the opportunity for racing at Anglesey. Early races were primarily motorcycles, however it developed into being part of the British Rallycross Championship. In 1997, the facilities were upgraded and the circuit developed, along with the installation of a small permanent pitlane. It would be at this stage the circuit gained its Motor Sports Association license. In 2006, the motorsports venue saw a major overhaul, with the majority of its 1.057 mi (1.701 km) circuit being scrapped in favour of a radical new development that includes four different track layouts: a 2.100 mi (3.380 km) International Circuit; 1.550 mi (2.494 km) Coastal Circuit, 1.200 mi (1.931 km) National Circuit and 0.800 mi (1.287 km) Club Circuit. Racing motorcyclist Peter Williams described the circuit in 2006: "The journey there is breathtaking and the circuit itself is the most scenic in the UK". The late Welsh F1 driver, Tom Pryce, is remembered at the circuit through both having a straight named after him and since 2019 the running of the Tom Pryce Memorial Trophy at Anglesey. In 2019, plans were submitted to redesign the circuit, and add additional paddock, garaging and hospitality facilities at the venue. Television The TV motoring programme Fifth Gear regularly used the Anglesey circuit for the 'Shoot Out' segment of the show. The track also features as Catie's track on the CBeebies series Catie's Amazing Machines. Layout history References External links Official website
Circuito de Anglesey

El Circuito Anglesey (Galés: Trac Môn) es un circuito de carreras situado en Tŷ Croes, en la costa oeste de la isla de Anglesey, Gales, con vistas al Mar de Irlanda y la cordillera de Snowdonia y es sede de una variedad de eventos, incluyendo carreras de autos, carreras de motos, piques, tramos cronometrados de rally y drifting. El circuito está construido sobre lo que originalmente era una instalación de entrenamiento de artillería real del Ejército Británico y luego un establecimiento de radar de la RAF. Aprovechando el recorrido formado por carreteras alrededor de parte del complejo, comenzaron a organizarse carreras de motor.​ A partir de 1997, se realizaron mejoras a las instalaciones y se incorporó un pequeño pit lane, con lo que el circuito obtuvo licencia completa para organizar carreras de campeonatos de MSA (Motor Sports Association), posteriormente conocido como Motorsport UK, que es la organización nacional de membresía y el órgano rector para el deporte de motor de cuatro ruedas en el Reino Unido y de la ACU (Auto-Cycle Union), que es el órgano rector del deporte de la motocicleta en Reino Unido, incluidas las Islas del Canal y la Isla de Man, pero excluyendo Irlanda del Norte En 2006, el circuito experimentó una revisión importante en la mayoría del trazado de 1.057 millas (1,70 km), siendo reconfigurado radicalmente. El nuevo trazado inaugurado el 24 de mayo de 2007 incluye cuatro diseños de pista diferentes, de los cuales 2 se pueden utilizar simultáneamente: el Circuito Internacional de 2,1 millas (3,38 km); el Circuito Costero de 1,55 millas (2,49 km), el Circuito Nacional de 1,2 millas (1,93 km) y el Circuito Club de 0,8 millas (1,29 km). Una de las rectas en el circuito lleva el nombre del piloto galés de Fórmula 1, Tom Pryce,​ quien falleció en un accidente durante el Gran Premio de Sudáfrica en Kyalami en 1977 cuando un mariscal de la pista con un extintor de incendios cruzó la pista frente a él. El extintor golpeó a Pryce en la cabeza, y tanto él como el mariscal murieron.​ El programa de automovilismo televisivo emitido por Discovery Channel y History entre otros, A Toda Máquina (en inglés Fifth Gear), usó regularmente el circuito Anglesey para el segmento Shoot Out del programa. Desde la nueva configuración de la pista, la producción del programa ha optado por utilizar el diseño costero, el cual parece ser el más popular entre los entusiastas del día de la pista debido al difícil segmento de sacacorchos cuesta abajo.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Página oficial del circuito Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Circuito de Anglesey.
Circuito Anglesey

Il circuito Anglesey (in gallese Trac Môn) è un circuito automobilistico situato a Tŷ Croes, Anglesey, in Galles. Essa ospita vari eventi sportivi, tra cui il rallycross.

Anglesey Sea Zoo

The Anglesey Sea Zoo (Welsh: Sw Môr Môn) is an aquarium and independent research and marine education centre on the south coast of Anglesey island in North Wales. Located just outside the village of Brynsiencyn, Anglesey Sea Zoo claims to be the largest aquarium in Wales and displays over 150 native species. History The Anglesey Sea Zoo was opened in 1983 by David and Alison Lea-Wilson, who later founded the next door Halen Môn sea salt business. As owners of a lobster wholesale business, they realized lobster tanks had become attractions in themselves. In 2007 the attraction was sold to research ecologists who have since gone on to develop research and conservation projects based at the aquarium, as well as several community conservation initiatives. Animals The zoo hosts a conger eel, a shark pool, a kelp forest, and runs the Lobster Hatchery of Wales. the zoo currently has two species of sea horses—the short snouted seahorse found around the UK and Mediterranean, and the drab seahorse found in the Red Sea. Conservation and Animal Rescue The Anglesey Sea Zoo is a conservation zoo and tourist activity centre, involved in captive breeding programs and national and international consultancy. The zoo is one of the few places in the world that has been able to successfully breed and sustain native short-snouted seahorse. Started in 1995 when a stranded striped dolphin was successfully rescued, the zoo now contains a rescue center for sick or stranded marine animals, including dolphins, whales, porpoises, seals, turtles, and seabirds. The rescue center is part of a network being created in the British Isles by the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR). Eating and shopping The aquarium also houses one of the only shops and bistros that sell almost exclusively fair trade and locally sourced products. Around 85% of the food served in the bistro, although simple, comes from within 10 miles of the centre. For the 2015–16 association football season the zoo were the away shirt sponsors for Welsh Premier League side Bangor City F.C. References External links Official website

Archbishop McGrath Catholic High School

Archbishop McGrath Catholic High School is a secondary school located in Brackla, Bridgend. Original school Originally built in the 1960s, Archbishop McGrath was located next to Ynysawdre Comprehensive School, Ynysawdre, Bridgend. In 2009, arsonists burnt down the Technology Department and heavily damaged the sports hall. The local council and the Archdiocese of Cardiff paid to have replacement portable buildings installed, which allowed teaching to continue whilst the Technology Department was torn down and the sports hall repaired. As the fire happened in autumn outside of school time, nobody was injured and examinations were not disturbed. Other minor structural problems were prevalent throughout the school, and it was demolished outright by early 2012. New school Following the fire, plans were made to build a new school designed by HLM architects at a site in Brackla, Bridgend just past the 'triangle' shopping area. The contract went to the Leadbitter Group Ltd and construction began in early 2010. Construction was completed by October 2011 but the school was in use by September that year. The new school has won multiple architecture awards and won the Gold Medal for Architecture at the National Eisteddfod of Wales of 2012. References
Argoed High School

Argoed High School is a secondary school in Flintshire, Wales. In January 2022, a proposal for a new superschool was accepted, incorporating nearby Ysgol Mynydd Isa. History It was built in Bryn-y-baal in 1978 as the then Clwyd County's first purpose built 11-16 school at a time when the county authorities were proposing to introduce a tertiary system. Its design has been described as "a bold but also contextual Brutalist style" by the Twentieth Century Society. The first head teacher was Bryn Ellis. The school has remained the same for most of its existence but building work started by Alison Brown (the school's third headteacher) has seen a new reception and sports hall. In 2021, with plans to demolish and replace the original buildings, heritage campaigners applied to have the site listed. This was refused by Cadw, who deemed the school "not particularly noteworthy".

Baglan Bay power station

Baglan Bay Power Station was a 525 MWe gas-fired power station situated on Baglan Moors just west of Port Talbot in Wales. History The former power station was built on the site of the former BP chemicals plant in September 2003, costing £300 million. Both the Stack and the two Cooling Towers from the BP plant were demolished in October 2003. At the time of its development, it was considered the most advanced combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) facility of its kind, with close to 60% efficiency. It was built by the GE Energy division of General Electric, who later rebranded to GE Power then GE Gas Power. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh on October 28 2004. It was sold by GE in October 2012 to a group of financial investors, led by Macquarie Group. After the sale, GE continued to operate the power station under an operations and maintenance (O&M) contract until 2019, when staff at the power plant were transferred to Calon Energy. In June 2020 the Baglan Group entered administration; the following month, the power station ceased generating electricity. Power was supplied to the Baglan Energy Park, which is home to a large number of other businesses and organisations via the power station's connection to the National Grid. From August 2022, the private wire network was no longer in use, and the businesses on the energy park made arrangements for their own independent power supply. Following a fire at the site in August 2023, the site was demolished, leaving just the chimney. Specification It had a CCGT-type power station that ran on natural gas. It had one General Electric 50 Hz H-class system (9H) gas turbine which achieved a firing temperature well above 2,600 °F (1,430 °C) linked on a single shaft to a heat recovery steam generator and a GE steam turbine. It had black start capability, using a 33 MWe GE LM2500 gas turbine. It connected to the National Grid at 275 kV. It was 60% thermally efficient. Only six H-System combined-cycle power plants were built and continue to operate commercially, and while one of those plants—the 60 Hz 7H Gas Turbine based at Inland Empire Energy Center—has achieved notable heat rate and NO_{x} emissions parameters, GE does not offer the H-System anymore. They were replaced by HA models. Retrofitting the power station with a newer HA model remained technically possible; however, as the power station has been demolished, this will never happen.

Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse

Bangor-on-Dee Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse racing venue located in Bangor-on-Dee near Wrexham, Wales, United Kingdom. It is a left-handed National Hunt racecourse, and does not have a grandstand. History Racing first took place at Bangor on Dee Racecourse in February 1859, and has since taken place regularly except during the wars. Since 2006 Bangor has hosted amateur Point-to-Point races run by local hunts. The course for the Point-to-Point is on the inside of the main track and races are run right-handed. In May 2012, all former Tote betting positions were replaced by the racecourse's own in-house bangorBET betting system. The Clerk of the Course is Andrew Tulloch who also holds that position at sister track Chester, where flat racing takes place. The General Manager is Paddy Chesters.
