Primrose Hill is a district in the London Borough of Camden, England.

 

The area east of the park was developed and became known as Primrose Hill. Primrose Hill is surrounded by St John's Wood to the west, Swiss Cottage to the northwest, Belsize Park to the north, Chalk Farm to the northeast, Camden Town to the east and Regent's Park to the south. The nearest Tube stations are Chalk Farm to the northeast and Swiss Cottage to the northwest. The defunct Primrose Hill railway station, now housing a business, sits on the railway lines that separate Primrose Hill from Camden Town. Primrose Hill Tunnel, the first railway tunnel in London, has had its eastern portals Grade II*- and its western portals Grade II* listed since 1974.[

 

Primrose Hill is an archetypal example of a successful London urban village, due to the location and the quality of its socio-historical development, and is home to many prominent residents. Beginning in the late 1960s several of the roads were closed to motor traffic in response to an unacceptable level of collisions and consequent loss of life. The changes were carefully designed to render the area largely free of through motor traffic.

 

Notable buildings and residents

 

There are seven English Heritage blue plaques in Primrose Hill commemorating the historic personalities that have lived there. The plaques mark the residences of poet Sir Hugh Clough, historian and broadcaster A. J. P. Taylor and painter William Roberts at 11, 13, and 14 St Mark's Crescent respectively; revolutionary socialist and philosopher Friedrich Engels at 122 (and later 41) Regent's Park Road; photographer Roger Fenton at 2 Albert Terrace; poet and novelist Sylvia Plath at 3 Chalcot Square; and poet William Butler Yeats at 23 Fitzroy Road.

 

Stanley Johnson and Lukas Heller each lived at different times at the Rocking Horse House on Regent's Park Road. Broadcasters Joan Bakewell and Nicholas Crane and actors Daisy Ridley and Derek Jacobi live in the area.

 

Elliott Square is a grouping of modernist 1960s houses by Douglas Streeter, built as part of the Chalcot Estate on land owned by Eton College.

 

During the 1990s Primrose Hill was a popular place to live with some who worked in the film, music and fashion industries and who were referred to as the Primrose Hill set in British newspapers.

Primrose Hill ist ein 78 Meter hoher Hügel auf der Nordseite des Regent’s Park in London und auch der Name für die umliegenden Viertel.

 

Geographie

 

Vom Hügel hat man einen ungestörten Blick auf die Londoner Innenstadt im Südosten sowie im Norden auf den Belsize Park und Hampstead Heath. Primrose Hill ist Teil des Londoner Stadtteils Camden.

 

Geschichte

 

Wie der Regent’s Park war Primrose Hill einmal Teil des Jagdgebiets von König Heinrich VIII. Im Jahre 1842 sicherte ein Gesetz des Parlaments das Land als öffentlichen Raum.

 

Teile des bebauten Gebietes von Primrose Hill bestehen hauptsächlich aus Häusern aus viktorianischer Zeit, sogenannten terraces. Primrose Hill war schon immer einer der elegantesten Stadtteile im städtischen Gürtel, der zwischen dem Kern von London und den Vororten liegt und deren Bewohner dafür bekannt sind, dass sie wohlhabend sind. Primrose Hill ist ein archetypisches Beispiel für ein erfolgreiches Londoner Stadt-Dorf, ein London village, aufgrund seiner Lage und der Qualität seiner sozio-historischen Entwicklung.

 

Im Oktober 1678 war Primrose Hill der Schauplatz des mysteriösen Mordes an Edmund Berry Godfrey. 1792 organisierte hier der radikale Unitarier, Dichter und Antiquar Iolo Morganwg (Edward Williams) die erste Sitzung des Gorsedd Beirdd Ynys Prydain.

 

Verkehr

 

Das Gebiet von Primrose Hill wird von zwei Linien der Londoner Untergrundbahn angefahren: an der Northern Line liegen die Stationen Belsize Park und Chalk Farm und an der Jubilee Line die Stationen St. John’s Wood und Swiss Cottage.

Stewart Park is a 120-acre public park in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, in the suburb and former village of Marton, England.

 

It holds a Green Flag Award from the Civic Trust. The Middlesbrough campus of Askham Bryan College and the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum are within its grounds.

 

The park was the estate of Henry Bolckow one of Middlesbrough's ironmasters and the borough's first mayor. Bolckow landscaped the estate and in 1858 built Marton Hall in the estate. To indicate the site of the cottage where Captain James Cook was born he had erected a pink granite vase still present today.

 

The estate was eventually bought by Councillor Thomas Dormand Stewart, in 1924, for the people of Middlesbrough. Stewart intended it to be "a public possession, open and accessible to all the people, at all times".[citation needed] Stewart's Park was officially opened to the public on 23 May 1928.

 

After the Second World War, Marton Hall stood empty for many years in a state of disrepair. In January 1959, the Borough engineer, A Kenyon, stated in a report, "The Hall....was of no wide historic or architectural value" and that renovations would cost in the region of £25,000. The council decided to demolish the building.

 

Work to demolish the Hall started in May 1960, but on 6 June a fire broke out and tore through the building. The ten fire appliances sent to tackle fire were hampered by the lack of water supply in the area, and the building was destroyed. The hall's conservatory continued to be open to the public for a number of years, but was eventually demolished in the mid-1990s. A stone loggia next to the museum is all that is left of the hall. The remaining Victorian estate buildings were later utilised as park depot buildings and council offices.

 

The Captain Cook Birthplace Museum (opened October 1978) is also within the park, which was built over the eastern part of Marton. In September 1998, an archaeological survey showed evidence of this part of Marton. In 2003, the eastern part of Marton village (misleadingly called "East Marton" as if it was a separate village) was the subject of Channel 4's archaeological television programme Time Team, presented by Tony Robinson.

 

The park covers about 120 acres (0.5 km2) and consists mainly of mature woodland and arboretum on the south side, with open parkland on the northern side. There are two lakes, which are the home to Canada and greylag geese, moorhens, coots and various types of duck. A pets' corner houses several types of domesticated animals: fallow deer, highland cattle, llamas, goats, peacocks, pheasants, rabbits and guinea pigs.

 

Part of the Victorian estate complex is open to the public and includes a cafe, and visitor centre. Various nature, heritage, orienteering and tree trails are provided in the park. Play areas for children include a climbing frame named after HMS Endeavour, Captain James Cook's ship.

 

The Captain Cook Birthplace museum is situated in the middle of the park and is open to visitors from April to November.

 

Middlesbrough is a town in the Middlesbrough unitary authority borough of North Yorkshire, England. The town lies near the mouth of the River Tees and north of the North York Moors National Park. The built-up area had a population of 148,215 at the 2021 UK census. It is the largest town of the wider Teesside area, which had a population of 376,633 in 2011.

 

Until the early 1800s, the area was rural farmland in the historic county of Yorkshire. The town was a planned development which started in 1830, based around a new port with coal and later ironworks added. Steel production and ship building began in the late 1800s, remaining associated with the town until the post-industrial decline of the late twentieth century. Trade (notably through ports) and digital enterprise sectors contemporarily contribute to the local economy, Teesside University and Middlesbrough College to local education.

 

Middlesbrough was made a municipal borough in 1853. When elected county councils were created in 1889, Middlesbrough was considered large enough to provide its own county-level services and so it became a county borough, independent from North Riding County Council. The borough of Middlesbrough was abolished in 1968 when the area was absorbed into the larger County Borough of Teesside. Six years later in 1974 Middlesbrough was re-established as a borough within the new county of Cleveland. Cleveland was abolished in 1996, since when Middlesbrough has been a unitary authority within the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.

 

Middlesbrough started as a Benedictine priory on the south bank of the River Tees, its name possibly derived from it being midway between the holy sites of Durham and Whitby. The earliest recorded form of Middlesbrough's name is "Mydilsburgh", containing the term burgh.

 

In 686, a monastic cell was consecrated by St. Cuthbert at the request of St. Hilda, Abbess of Whitby. The manor of Middlesburgh belonged to Whitby Abbey and Guisborough Priory.[1] Robert Bruce, Lord of Cleveland and Annandale, granted and confirmed, in 1119, the church of St. Hilda of Middleburg to Whitby. Up until its closure on the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII in 1537, the church was maintained by 12 Benedictine monks, many of whom became vicars, or rectors, of various places in Cleveland.

 

After the Angles, the area became home to Viking settlers. Names of Viking origin (with the suffix by meaning village) are abundant in the area; for example, Ormesby, Stainsby and Tollesby were once separate villages that belonged to Vikings called Orm, Steinn and Toll that are now areas of Middlesbrough were recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Other names around Middlesbrough include the village of Maltby (of Malti) along with the towns of Ingleby Barwick (Anglo-place and barley-wick) and Thornaby (of Thormod).

 

Links persist in the area, often through school or road names, to now-outgrown or abandoned local settlements, such as the medieval settlement of Stainsby, deserted by 1757, which amounts to little more today than a series of grassy mounds near the A19 road.

 

In 1801, Middlesbrough was a small farm with a population of just 25; however, during the latter half of the 19th century, it experienced rapid growth. In 1828 the influential Quaker banker, coal mine owner and Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&DR) shareholder Joseph Pease sailed up the River Tees to find a suitable new site downriver of Stockton on which to place new coal staithes. As a result, in 1829 he and a group of Quaker businessmen bought the Middlesbrough farmstead and associated estate, some 527 acres (213 ha) of land, and established the Middlesbrough Estate Company.

 

Through the company, the investors set about a new coal port development (designed by John Harris) on the southern banks of the Tees. The first coal shipping staithes at the port (known as "Port Darlington") were constructed with a settlement to the east established on the site of Middlesbrough farm as labour for the port, taking on the farm's name as it developed into a village. The small farmstead became a village of streets such as North Street, South Street, West Street, East Street, Commercial Street, Stockton Street and Cleveland Street, laid out in a grid-iron pattern around a market square, with the first house being built on West Street in April 1830. New businesses bought premises and plots of land in the new town including: shippers, merchants, butchers, innkeepers, joiners, blacksmiths, tailors, builders and painters.

 

The first coal shipping staithes at the port (known as "Port Darlington") were constructed just to the west of the site earmarked for the location of Middlesbrough. The port was linked to the S&DR on 27 December 1830 via a branch that extended to an area just north of the current Middlesbrough railway station, helping secure the town's future.

 

The success of the port meant it soon became overwhelmed by the volume of imports and exports, and in 1839 work started on Middlesbrough Dock. Laid out by Sir William Cubitt, the whole infrastructure was built by resident civil engineer George Turnbull. After three years and an expenditure of £122,000 (equivalent to £9.65 million at 2011 prices), first water was let in on 19 March 1842, and the formal opening took place on 12 May 1842. On completion, the docks were bought by the S&DR.

 

Iron and steel have dominated the Tees area since 1841 when Henry Bolckow in partnership with John Vaughan, founded the Vulcan iron foundry and rolling mill. Vaughan, who had worked his way up through the Iron industry in South Wales, used his technical expertise to find a more abundant supply of Ironstone in the Eston Hills in 1850, and introduced the new "Bell Hopper" system of closed blast furnaces developed at the Ebbw Vale works. These factors made the works an unprecedented success with Teesside becoming known as the "Iron-smelting centre of the world" and Bolckow, Vaughan & Co., Ltd became the largest company in existence.

 

By 1851 Middlesbrough's population had grown from 40 people in 1829 to 7,600. Pig iron production rose tenfold between 1851 and 1856 and by the mid-1870s Middlesbrough was producing one third of the entire nations Pig Iron output. It was during this time Middlesbrough earned the nickname "Ironopolis".

 

On 21 January 1853, Middlesbrough received its Royal Charter of Incorporation, giving the town the right to have a mayor, aldermen and councillors. Henry Bolckow became mayor, in 1853.

 

A Welsh community was established in Middlesbrough sometime before the 1840s, with mining being the main form of employment. These migrants included figures who would become important leaders in the commercial, political and cultural life of the town:

 

John Vaughan established Teesside's first ironworks in 1841, The Vulcan Works at Middlesbrough. Vaughan had worked his way up through the industry at the Dowlais Ironworks in south Wales and encouraged hundreds of the skilled Welsh workers to follow him to Teesside.

Edward Williams (iron-master), although he was the grandson of the famous Welsh Bard Iolo Morganwg, Edward had started as a mere clerk at Dowlais. His move to the Tees saw him rise to ironmaster, alderman, magistrate and Mayor of Middlesbrough. Edward was also the father of Aneurin and Penry, who both became Liberal MPs for the area.

E.T. John arrived from Pontypridd as a junior clerk in Williams' office. John became the director of several industrial enterprises and a radical politician.

Windsor Richards, an Engineer and manager, oversaw the town's transition from iron to steel production.

Much like the contemporary Welsh migration to America, the Welsh of Middlesbrough came almost exclusively from the iron-smelting and coal districts of South Wales. By 1861 42% of the town's ironworkers identified as Welsh and one in twenty of the total population. Place names such as "Welch Cottages" and "Welch Place" appeared around the Vulcan works, and Middlesbrough became a centre for the Welsh communities at Witton Park, Spennymoor, Consett and Stockton on Tees (especially Portrack). David Williams also recorded that a number of the Welsh workers at the Hughesovka Ironworks in 1869 had migrated from Middlesbrough.

 

A Welsh Baptist chapel was active in the town as early as 1858, and St Hilda's Anglican church began providing services in the Welsh language. Churches and chapels were the centres of Welsh culture, supporting choirs, Sunday Schools, social societies, adult education, lectures and literary meetings. By the 1870s, many more Welsh chapels were built (one reputed to seat 500 people), and the first Eisteddfodau were held.

 

By the 1880s, a "Welsh cultural revival" was underway, with the Eisteddfodau attracting competitors and spectators from outside the Welsh communities. In 1890 the Middlesbrough Town Hall hosted the first Cleveland and Durham Eisteddfod, an event notable for its non-denominational inclusivity, with Irish Catholic choirs and the bishop of the newly created Roman Catholic Diocese of Middlesbrough as honoured guests.

 

In the early twentieth century this Eisteddfod had become the biggest annual event in the town and the largest annual Eisteddfod outside Wales. The Eisteddfod had a clear impact on the culture of the town, especially through its literary and music events, by 1911 the Eisteddfod had twenty-two classes of musical competition only two of which were for Welsh language content. By 1914, thirty choirs from across the area were competing in 284 entries. A choral tradition remained part of the town's culture long after the eisteddfod and chapels had gone. In 2012 an exhibition at the Dorman Museum marked the Apollo Male Voice Choir's 125 years as an active choir in the town.

 

Industrial Wales was noted for its "radical Liberal-Labour" politics, and the rhetoric of these politicians clearly won favour with the urban population of the North East. Penry Williams and Jonathan Samuel won the seats of Middlesbrough and Stockton-on-Tees for the Liberal Party and Penry's brother, Aneurin would also win the newly created Consett seat in 1918.

 

Sir Horace Davey stressed his Welsh lineage and stated that "it was scarcely an exaggeration to say that Welshmen had founded Middlesbrough", courting the Welsh vote that saw him elected MP for Stockton. However, others complained that local Conservative candidates were losing to "Fenians and Welshers" (Irish and Welsh people).

 

These sentiments had grown by 1900 when Samuel lost his seat after a Unionist complained publicly that the town had been "forced to submit to the indignity of being trailed ignominiously through the mire by Welsh constituents". Samuel lost the seat but regained it in 1910 with a campaign that made few, if any, references to his Welsh background.

 

From 1861 to 1871, the census of England & Wales showed that Middlesbrough consistently had the second highest percentage of Irish born people in England after Liverpool. The Irish population in 1861 accounted for 15.6% of the total population of Middlesbrough. In 1871 the amount had dropped to 9.2% yet this still placed Middlesbrough's Irish population second in England behind Liverpool. Due to the rapid development of the town and its industrialisation there was much need for people to work in the many blast furnaces and steel works along the banks of the Tees. This attracted many people from Ireland, who were in much need of work. As well as people from Ireland, the Scottish, Welsh and overseas inhabitants made up 16% of Middlesbrough's population in 1871. A second influx of Irish migration was observed in the early 1900s as Middlesbrough's steel industry boomed producing 1/3 of Britain's total steel output. This second influx lasted through to the 1950s after which Irish migration to Middlesbrough saw a drastic decline. Middlesbrough no longer has a strong Irish presence, with Irish born residents making up around 2% of the current population, however there is still a strong cultural and historical connection with Ireland mainly through the heritage and ancestry of many families within Middlesbrough.

 

The town's rapid expansion continued throughout the second half of the 19th century, fuelled by the iron and steel industry. In 1864 the North Riding Infirmary (an ear, nose and mouth hospital) opened in Newport Road; this was demolished in 2006.

 

On 15 August 1867, a Reform Bill was passed, making Middlesbrough a new parliamentary borough, Bolckow was elected member for Middlesbrough the following year. In 1875, Bolckow, Vaughan & Co opened the Cleveland Steelworks in Middlesbrough beginning the transition from Iron production to Steel and by the turn of the century. Henry Bolckow died in 1878 and left an endowment of £5,000 for the infirmary.

 

In the latter third of the 19th century, Old Middlesbrough was starting to decline and was overshadowed by developments built around the new town hall, south of the original town hall, the town's population reaching 90,000 by the dawn of the 20th century.[9] In 1900, Bolckow, Vaughan & Co had become the largest producer of steel in Great Britain and possibly came to be one of the major steel centres in the world.

 

In 1914, Dorman Long, another major steel producer from Middlesbrough, became the largest company in Britain. It employed a workforce of over 20,000 and by 1929 and gained enough to take over from Bolckow, Vaughan & Co's dominance and to acquire their assets. The steel components of the Sydney Harbour Bridge (1932) were engineered and fabricated by Dorman Long of Middlesbrough. The company was also responsible for the New Tyne Bridge in Newcastle.

 

Several large shipyards also lined the Tees, including the Sir Raylton Dixon & Company, Smith's Dock Company of South Bank and Furness Shipbuilding Company of Haverton Hill.

 

Middlesbrough was the first major British town and industrial target to be bombed during the Second World War. The Luftwaffe first attacked the town on 25 May 1940 when a lone bomber dropped 13 bombs between South Bank Road and the South Steel Plant. One of the bombs fell on the South Bank football ground making a large crater in the pitch. The bomber was forced to leave after RAF night fighters were scrambled to intercept. Two months after the first bombing Prime Minister Winston Churchill visited the town to meet the public and inspect coastal defences.

 

German bombers often flew over the Eston Hills while heading for targets further inland, such as Manchester. On 30 March 1941 a Junkers Ju 88 was shot down by two Spitfires of No. 41 Squadron, piloted by Tony Lovell and Archie Winskill, over Middlesbrough. The aircraft dived into the ground at Barnaby Moor, Eston; the engines and most of the airframe were entirely buried upon impact.

 

On 5 December 1941 a Spitfire of No. 122 Squadron, piloted by Sgt Hutton, crashed into rising ground near Mill Farm, Upsall, on the lower slopes of Eston Hills. Poor visibility due to bad weather and low cloud is believed to have been the cause of the crash.

 

On 15 January 1942, minutes after being hit by gunfire from a merchant ship anchored off Hartlepool, a Dornier Do 217 collided with the cable of a barrage balloon over the River Tees. The blazing bomber plummeted onto the railway sidings in South Bank leaving a crater twelve feet deep. In 1997 the remains of the Dornier were unearthed by a group of workers clearing land for redevelopment; the remains were put on display for a short while at Kirkleatham museum.

 

On 4 August 1942 a lone Dornier Do 217 picked its way through the barrage balloons and dropped a stick of bombs onto the railway station. One bomb caused serious damage to the Victorian glass and steel roof. A train in the station was also badly damaged although there were no passengers aboard. The station was put out action for two weeks.

 

The Green Howards was a British Army infantry regiment very strongly associated with Middlesbrough and the area south of the River Tees. Originally formed at Dunster Castle, Somerset in 1688 to serve King William of Orange, later King William III, this regiment became affiliated to the North Riding of Yorkshire in 1782. As Middlesbrough grew, its population of men came to be a group most targeted by the recruiters. The Green Howards were part of the King's Division. On 6 June 2006, this famous regiment was merged into the new Yorkshire Regiment and are now known as 2 Yorks, The 2nd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment (Green Howards). There is also a Territorial Army (TA) company at Stockton Road in Middlesbrough, part of 4 Yorks which is wholly reserve.

 

Post Second World War to contemporary era

By the end of the war over 200 buildings had been destroyed within the Middlesbrough area. The borough lost 99 civilians as a result of enemy action.

 

Areas of early and mid-Victorian housing were demolished and much of central Middlesbrough was redeveloped. Heavy industry was relocated to areas of land better suited to the needs of modern technology. Middlesbrough itself began to take on a completely different look.

 

Middlesbrough's 1903 Gaumont cinema, originally an opera house until the 1930s, was demolished in 1971. The Cleveland Centre opened in the same year. In 1974, Middlesbrough and other areas around the Tees, became part of the county of Cleveland. This was to create a county within a single NUTS region of England, with the UK joining the European Union predecessor (European Communities) a year earlier.

 

Middlesbrough's Royal Exchange building was demolished, to make way for the road. A multi-storey the Star and Garter Hotel built in the 1890s near to the exchange on the site of a former Welsh Congregational Church, was also demolished. The Victorian era North Riding Infirmary was demolished in 2006 and replaced by a hotel and supermarket.

 

The Cleveland Centre opened in 1971, Hill Street shopping centre opened in 1981 and Captain Cook Square opened in 1999.

 

Middlesbrough F.C.'s modern Riverside Stadium opened on 26 August 1995 next to Middlesbrough Dock. The club moved from Ayresome Park their previous home in the town for 92 years.

 

With the abolition of Cleveland County in 1996, Middlesbrough again became part of North Yorkshire.

 

The original St.Hilda's area of Middlesbrough, after decades of decline and clearance, was given a new name of Middlehaven in 1986 on investment proposals to build on the land. Middlehaven has since had new buildings built there including Middlesbrough College and Middlesbrough FC's Riverside Stadium amongst others. Also situated at Middlehaven is the "Boho" zone, offering office space to the area's business and to attract new companies, and also "Bohouse", housing. Some of the street names from the original grid-iron street plan of the town still exist in the area today.

 

The expansion of Middlesbrough southwards, eastwards and westwards continued throughout the 20th century absorbing villages such as Linthorpe, Acklam, Ormesby, Marton and Nunthorpe[9] and continues to the present day.

Joseph Edwards (5 March 1814 – 9 January 1882) was a Welsh sculptor. His work appears in many churches and cemeteries in England and Wales, in Westminster Abbey, and in the old town hall of Merthyr Tydfil. Seventy of his works were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts between 1838 and 1878.

 

Joseph Edwards was born on 5 March 1814 in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire, Wales, the son of a stonemason, and went to school in Merthyr. At the age of seventeen he saw the collection of stone Celtic crosses at Margam Abbey and decided to become a sculptor. Apprenticed to a memorial mason in Swansea, he was quickly promoted to foreman. In 1835, he went to London where he began working for William Behnes.

 

In 1837, Edwards became a student at the Royal Academy of Arts where he won several prizes for his work. His early works include a memorial to Sir John Bernard Bosanquet. Another memorial monument, entitled "Religion", was shown at an international exhibition in 1862. A version of this monument appears on the grave of Eliza Vaughan in Highgate (Western) Cemetery, London. Edward's work can be seen in churches throughout England and Wales. He made busts of many contemporary figures including Taliesin ap Iolo, Thomas Stephens (c. 1871), G. T. Clark, William Williams (M.P. for Coventry), Edith Wynne, and George Virtue, and members of the Beaufort, Guest, Raglan, and Crawshay families.

 

Commenting on Edwards' bust of Thomas Stephens, The Art Journal said, "[The Welsh] may well be proud of their countryman, Joseph Edwards. There are artists who will make as good busts, but there is no living sculptor who can produce monumental work so pure, so refined, so essentially holy."

 

In 1881, sponsored by George Frederic Watts, Edwards was awarded a pension under the Turner Bequest, but he died shortly after receiving it.

Speech:

 

Friends.

 

This Friday, in Stockholm, the foremost climate scientists of the world will gather to reveal their latest findings about climate change.

 

I’m not expecting good news on Friday.

 

Because despite all the efforts of those countries that have committed to rein in climate change, and the greenhouse gases that cause it, the statistics are going in just one direction, more rapidly than ever before.

 

Up and up, with more and more greenhouse gases being produced.

  

Climate change: the biggest problem facing humanity. No, not my words. As far back as 2006, people like Tony Blair, Sir Nicholas Stern, and even Arnold Schwartzenneger all understood the threat.

 

So when we’re talking about unconventional gas, we need to frame the debate in terms of this monumental challenge of climate change. And under those circumstances, we come to the conclusion that these are immoral industries. Immoral because they all know the threat that climate change poses to people right around the planet. They know that wrenching more and more fossil fuels out of the planet can only make things worse. But the thirst for profit drives them nonetheless.

 

Friends, we have, here in Wales, the power to put a stop to these immoral industries.

  

How? I hear you ask.

 

By putting in place a moratorium, so that the Welsh Government can examine all the evidence and come to a decision:

can unconventional gas sit side-by-side with our commitments to future generations;

can unconventional gas be extracted without damage to our environment and our communities; and

is it possible to use unconventional gas and keep our climate promises to the global community.

 

We’ll see how these dirty, polluting industries stack up when they’re pitted against the will of every single community that has had the misfortune to attract their interest.

 

A moratorium, as Bulgaria has done, as France has done, as Ireland has done, and as the Czech Republic is intending to do as from next month.

 

And that’s why we’ve gathered here today, to ask of our Assembly Members:

Act on our behalf, execute a moratorium on fracking in Wales.

  

Ffracio Senedd

 

Cyfeillion.

 

Ddydd Gwener yma, fe fydd gwyddonwyr pennaf hinsawdd yn datgelu eu canfyddiadau ynghylch newid hinsawdd.

 

Dydw i ddim yn disgwyl newyddion da ddydd Gwener yma.

 

Er gwaethaf ymdrechion oll y gwledydd hynny sydd wedi ymrwymo i ffrwyno newid hinsawdd, a’r allyriadau tŷ gwydr sy’n ei achosi, dim ond i un cyfeiriad mae’r ystadegau yn mynd, a hynny yn gyflymach nag erioed o’r blaen.

 

I fyny ac i fyny, mwy a mwy o allyriadau nwyon tŷ gwydr.

  

Newid hinsawdd: problem mwyaf sy’n wynebu dynolryw. Na, nid fy ngeiriau i. Mor bell yn ôl â 2006, roedd Tony Blair, Sir Nicholas Stern, a hyd yn oed Arnold Schwartzenegger i gyd yn deall y bygythiad.

 

Felly mae’n rhaid trafod y diwydiannau nwy anghonfensiynol yng nghyd-destun y broblem enfawr yma: newid hinsawdd. Ac o dan yr amgylchiadau hyn, rydyn ni’n dod i’r casgliad mai diwydiannau anfoesol ydynt. Anfoesol oherwydd maent yn ymwybodol mai newid hinsawdd yw problem mwyaf dynolryw. Maent yn ymwybodol nid trwy echdynnu mwy fyth o danwydd ffosil o’r ddaear yw’r ffordd i fynd i’r afael â newid hinsawdd. Ond dyna a wnânt.

 

Cyfeillion, mae gyda ni y grym yng Nghymru i roi terfyn ar y diwydiannau anfoesol hyn sydd ac un diben yn unig – elw iddynt hwy eu hunain a naw wfft i’r blaned.

  

Sut? dwi’n clywed rhai yn gofyn.

 

Trwy osod moratoriwm, fel bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn gallu archwilio’r holl dystiolaeth a dod i gasglaid:

a ydy nwy anghonfensiynol yn cyd-fynd â’n hymrwymiadau i’r cenhedloedd i ddod;

a ydy nwy anghonfensiynol yn gallu cael ei echdynnu heb niwed i’r amgylchedd a’n cymunedau; a

a ydy hi’n bosib i ni ddefnyddio nwy anghonfensiynol a chadw ein haddewidion i bobloedd y byd o ran newid hinsawdd.

 

Cawn weld sut gall y diwydiannau brwnt, llwgr yma gyfiawnhau eu bodolaeth yn erbyn ewyllys pob un gymuned sydd wedi codi i fyny yn eu herbyn.

 

Moratoriwm, fel mae Bwlgaria wedi gwneud, fel mae Ffrainc wedi gwneud, fel mae Iwerddon wedi gwneud, a fel mae gweriniaeth Tsiec yn bwriadu gwneud mis nesaf.

 

A dyna pam rydyn ni wedi ymgasglu yma heddiw, i ymofyn i’n Haelodau Cynulliad:

Gweithredwch drosom ni, a mynnwch foratoriwm ffracio yng Nghymru.

 

Tues 24 Sept 2013, Y Senedd Cardiff Bay.

Re Barbara's thread "housemates at play" Iolo and Teg having fun.

Mae arddangosfa treftadaeth Jwrasig sy'n cynnwys yr Archaeopteryx hynafol wedi cael ei hagor yn swyddogol yn yr Hen Goleg ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth gan y naturiaethwr a'r cyflwynydd teledu Iolo Williams.

 

Daeth dros 200 o oedolion a phlant at ei gilydd yn yr Hen Goleg nos Fawrth 14 Chwefror 2017 ar gyfer y noson lansio, a oedd yn cynnwys sesiwn holi ac ateb fywiog gydag Iolo Williams ac arbenigwyr o Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales a Phrifysgol Aberystwyth.

A Jurassic heritage exhibition featuring the ancient Archaeopteryx has been officially opened in Aberystwyth University’s Old College by wildlife expert and television presenter Iolo Williams.

 

More than 200 adults and children attended the launch night events on Tuesday 14 February 2017, which included a lively question and answer session with Iolo Williams and experts from Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales and Aberystwyth University.

this was after he had his surgery recently. however he's made a great recovery, and did tolerate it quite well

As the sun, so shy, speeds on to hide behind the western hills

I stand within this

Ancient circle with its rugged stones

Pointing to the sky

Like the digits on the clock of time -

The time that has refused to move,

As if the keeper of this heather hearth has gone to bed

Remembering not to lift

The fallen weights of Time and Space.

 

The first verse of one of Iolo Morgannwg’s poem, some would call him a fantasist who created an idea or vision of a Celtic Druidic order in the 18th century.

 

His first meeting of the bards was on Primrose Hill in London, where he had erected twelve stones called the Great Circle and a central altar stone known as the Maen Llog, this was in 1792. It is said of Iolo that he constructed an “elaborate mystical philosophy which he claimed represented a direct continuation of ancient Druidic practice. His use of laudanum may have contributed to this fabrication, though many of his writings fall between a small truth and a large imaginative myth that he wrote!

 

In 1795, a gorsedd meeting took place at the Pontypridd Rocking Stone, near Eglwysilam in Glamorgan. This was a huge slab of natural slate stone (the Maen Chwyf), and this stone became a meeting place, though the circles were yet to be put up.

 

The word gorsedd, which in Welsh means throne, but is also loosely used as a coming together of bards. Julian Cope in his book The Modern Antiquarian says of this rocking stone ‘that it stands high on the ground overlooking the confluence of the two great sacred rivers Rhodda and Taff,’ and that this gorsedd stone must have had great significance in prehistoric times. The stone is surrounded by two circles plus an avenue but the circles are not prehistoric, and it now sits in a pleasant landscape next to a small cottage hospital. Photographs can be seen here on the TMA site…

Iolo absolutely loves Countryfile, he watches it intently, until disturbed by the noisy one!!!

I'm teaching myself to crochet, so is Iolo! At least he has the grace to look sorry

Who can get enough of puppies? These are Debbie's latest litter that she kindly let me visit last week to get my full fix of puppy smell. They are Iolo's litter sisters' babies and are now six weeks old. They'll be going to their new staff in two weeks time. Lucky staff!

Primrose Hill is a hill of 256 feet (78 m) located on the north side of Regent's Park in London, England, and also the name for the surrounding district. The hill has a clear view of central London to the south-east, as well as Belsize Park and Hampstead to the north. It is one of the most exclusive and expensive residential areas in London and is home to many notable residents.

 

Like Regent's Park, Primrose Hill was once part of a great chase appropriated by Henry VIII. Later, in 1841, it became Crown property, and, in 1842, an Act of Parliament secured the land as public open space. The built up part of Primrose Hill consists mainly of Victorian terraces. It has always been one of the more fashionable districts in the urban belt that lies between the core of London and the outer suburbs, and remains expensive and prosperous. Primrose Hill is an archetypal example of a successful London urban village, due to the location and the quality of its socio-historical development.[3] In October 1678 Primrose Hill was the scene of the mysterious murder of Edmund Berry Godfrey, and in 1792 the radical Unitarian poet and antiquarian Iolo Morganwg (Edward Williams) organised here the first meeting of Gorsedd Beirdd Ynys Prydain. According to the diary of Narcissus Luttrell, Primrose Hill was once known as "Greenberry Hill" prior to the execution of Messrs. Green, Berry and Hill for the murder of Edmund Godfrey, but this was after the execution and there is no trace of such a name before 1679.

I visited here in Dec 2013 after hearing about the Calm Campaign.

 

The large lagoons here once contained a whitish slurry made up of water and pulverised fuel ash (PFA), the residue of the coal burnt in the power station. Now they are full of open water and reedbeds, and birds and other wildlife thrive there where industrial waste was once dumped.

 

I notice a mole hill just on the grassy verge there, it was a pale grey in colour, had no body as such, very powdery and light in weight. I presumed this was the remnants of that said PFA.

 

Recently I've found out that this coal power station is due to be closed down. There a few other power stations dotted around our coasts. One going...

Adjacent to here on the Gwent Levels the Welsh Government are looking to build a motorway relief road, listen to what Iolo Williams had to say...

One of the UK’s most precious wetland landscapes is under threat from the Welsh Government's road building plans.

 

www.wtwales.org/wildlife-issues/m4-road-proposals

 

One such solution, proposed by Professor Stuart Cole, a leading transport economist, is called the ‘The Blue Route’

I can 'say no more' on M4 relief road, says Edwina Hart bbc.in/VnCi3b

 

No M4 relief road reversal says Edwina Hart . Friends of the Earth Cymru has said it is willing to take the decision to judicial review unless the consultation process is restarted.

Bittern Hide to Sizewell through the rain

Some of you will know about the ongoing saga of Tegid's itchy feet. Well the problem finally seems to have been sorted with a combination of medication and a wheat free diet. For a good few months she has been quite depressed and not wanted to play with Iolo but over the last couple of weeks she has started to play a bit more day by day. Today she and Iolo has their first roistering session in a very long time. I'm thrilled!, this is just a very short clip of a game that lasted over half an hour
