Wie zou er aan de telefoon blijven hangen als er plotsklaps zo'n fraaie vierasser de eindpuntlus binnenpiept?

Deze V3-motorwagen is in 1937 door de werkplaats Falkenried van het trambedrijf van Hamburg gebouwd. De kleine serie van vier vierassige mororwagens diende vooral om nieuwe technieken uit te proberen. Zo was deze wagen oorspronkelijk uitgerust met een "Unterflur-Feinstufenfahrschalter" van BBC; dat is een onder de wagenvloer aangebrachte schakelkast met veel rij- en remstellingingen waardoor soepel optrekken en afremmen mogelijk was. Gedurende de levensloop werden de wagens meerdere keren verbouwd. Reeds in 1942 werd het afgebeelde voertuig tot eenrichtingswagen omgebouwd. In 1967 werd dit bijzondere rijtuig afgevoerd en opgenomen in de museumcollectie van de Verein Verkehrsamateure und Museumsbahn (VVM). Sinds 2007 is het gerestaureerde rijtuig rijvaardig. Het wordt ingezet op de korte museumlijn van de VVM aan het Schönberger Strand in de nabijheid van Kiel.

Ardington is a downland village, with its parish stretching from the loam rich north to the chalk downlands to the south. The ancient path of the Ridgeway runs through the southern part of the parish, along the North Wessex Downs AONB section of the route. Racing stables are beside and around the village most of which use the Downs for gallops. Being set in the Lockinge Estate, most of Ardington parish and nearby of East and West Lockinge are owned by Thomas Loyd and managed by Adkin Rural and Commercial. Local amenities include a public house - The Boar's Head, a sports club, village store, post office and tearoom, and the Loyd-Lindsay Rooms - a set of rooms which are let out to the community and on a commercial basis for weddings, parties and conferences. Local charities can use the rooms to hold events to raise money.

Architecture

The oldest part of the Church of England parish church of Holy Trinity is the chancel arch, built about 1200.[2] The Gothic Revival architect Joseph Clarke added the tower and spire in 1856.[3] Somers Clarke remodelled the remainder of the church in 1887.[4] Ardington House was built for Edward Clarke in 1721 and has three tall storeys and seven window bays in breadth, not being deep, almost rectangular. It has small wings without bays to each side (alternatively the entire front range can be described as projecting) topped by a classical triangular pediment framing a weathered mid-19th century coat of arms in stone (cartouche). Its windows and central door are faced in complementary coloured brickwork dressings to its general grey brick façade.[5][6][7] It is a Georgian Grade II* listed building and is open to the public in the summer months.

Nach 55 Jahren Einsatz ist nun Schluss für den U-Bahn Typ DT3 im Hamburger Netz. Am vergangenen Wochenende, einige Wochen nach den letzten Einsätzen, veranstaltete die Hochbahn eine kurze, unspektakuläre und insgesamt unfotogene Abschiedsfahrt mit den zwei immerhin frisch geputzten Einheiten 842 und 835.

Der Fotografenauflauf war unglaublich und stellt sogar deutlich interessanter gestaltete Abschiedsveranstaltungen wie den Vogelfluglinien-Abschied oder den Abschied der 472 in den Schatten.

Lulworth Castle, in East Lulworth, Dorset, England, situated south of the village of Wool, is an early 17th-century hunting lodge erected in the style of a revival fortified castle, one of only five extant Elizabethan or Jacobean buildings of this type. It is listed with Historic England as a scheduled monument.[1] It is also Grade I listed.[2] The 18th-century Adam style interior of the stone building was devastated by fire in 1929, but has now been restored and serves as a museum. The castle stands in Lulworth Park on the Lulworth Estate.[3] The park and gardens surrounding the castle are Grade II listed with Historic England.[4]

History

The foundations for Lulworth Castle were laid in 1588, and it was completed in 1609, supposedly designed by Inigo Jones.[5] It was built as a hunting lodge by Thomas Howard, 3rd Viscount Howard of Bindon, a grandson of the 3rd Duke of Norfolk. In 1607 Viscount Bindon wrote to Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, crediting him with the origins of the design:

"If this little pile in Lulworth Park shall prove pretty or worth the labour bestowed in the erecting of it, I will acknowledge, as the truth is, that your powerful speech to me at Bindon laid the first foundation of the pile in my mind, which ever since has laboured for a speedy finishing for the contentment of those for whose further liking of that place the care is taken".[6]

According to the NHLE listing, the building was subsequently remodelled 1609-11 for Thomas, Lord Suffolk; remodelled again in 1641 for Humphrey Weld; in the early 18th century by the Bastard brothers of Blandford Forum for the then owner, Edward Weld; and in the 1780s by Catholic architect John Tasker for Thomas Weld. Tasker also built the Roman Catholic chapel in the grounds. Pevsner's assessment of the castle building two hundred years later views it as a Jacobean case of one-upmanship among wealthy landowners whose residential needs are already satisfied elsewhere, hence a series of " 'mock castles', such as the Elizabethan castellated house par excellence that is Longford Castle" which probably inspired Bindon.[7]

In 1641, Humphrey Weld, a grandson of Sir Humphrey Weld (died 1610), purchased it from Howard's heir, Lord Howard de Walden. The castle was seized by the Roundheads during the English Civil War, who used it as a garrison. Weld regained the property after the war finished and held on to it despite growing debts. Having married off his only daughter to an earl, Humphrey chose his catholic nephew, William Weld as his successor. William struggled with near insolvency, but partially rescued the estate finances by ensuring his son, Humphrey III (died 1722), married well into the Simeons family. Margaret Simeons and her parents helped out with a dowry and managed the estate after she was widowed. Humphrey was succeeded by their son, Edward Weld (Senior) who had the means to decorate the interiors of the castle, build extensions and lay out the grounds, despite personal legal difficulties he managed to overcome.

Thomas Weld, Edward's youngest son, eventually inherited the property after his eldest brother, also Edward, died as a result of a riding accident in 1775. Twenty-five-year-old Thomas set about refurbishing the interiors in Adam style. He enriched the collection of books in the magnificent library, a few of which are extant.[8] He also entertained George III at Lulworth. Thomas and his wife Mary produced fifteen children, most of whom survived, and together with their descendants were able to retain Lulworth as the family seat into the 21st century.

Following the French Revolution, surviving members of the French royal family were invited to use Lulworth as one of their residences-in-exile. Later Charles X of France and family also stayed there briefly, following the July Revolution of 1830 on their way to Edinburgh. Wikipedia
