Located within what was once the estuary of the River Kaystros, Ephesus comprises successive Hellenistic and Roman settlements founded on new locations, which followed the coastline as it retreated westward. Excavations have revealed grand monuments of the Roman Imperial period including the Library of Celsus and the Great Theatre. Little remains of the famous Temple of Artemis, one of the “Seven Wonders of the World,” which drew pilgrims from all around the Mediterranean. Since the 5th century, the House of the Virgin Mary, a domed cruciform chapel seven kilometres from Ephesus, became a major place of Christian pilgrimage. The Ancient City of Ephesus is an outstanding example of a Roman port city, with sea channel and harbour basin.

The Grade I Listed City Walls of Chester, in Cheshire.
Chester city walls comprise the most complete Roman and medieval defensive town walls in Britain. The circuit, which measures almost 2 miles in circumference, is now a major tourist attraction for visitors to the city.
In around 74AD the Roman legion Legio II Adiutrix established a fortress in Chester. It was initially defended by an earth rampart surmounted by a wooden palisade and surrounded by a ditch. It was set on a base of logs and held together by branches and brushwood.
Starting in about 100 AD the earth walls were reconstructed using sandstone. The walls continued to be maintained throughout the Roman occupation, with major repairs undertaken during the 4th century.
Nothing is known about the condition of the walls between the end of the Roman occupation in the late 4th century and the re-founding of Chester by Æthelflæd as a burgh in 907 as part of the reconquest of Mercia by the Anglo-Saxons. The Anglo-Saxons certainly repaired the northern and eastern sections of the Roman walls. There is a reference to repairing the walls in the Domesday Survey.
The finance required for the upkeep of the walls was raised from duties levied on merchandise passing into and out of the city. The main gates were under the control of hereditary sergeants who collected tolls and organised watches on the walls.
In the expectation of the coming Civil War, repairs were carried out in the early 1640s, and further fortifications were added to the walls. The walls were heavily damaged during the siege of the city by Parliamentarian forces in 1645.
After the end of the Civil War, the walls ceased to have any military or defensive function, and increasingly became used for recreational purposes. In 1707 the City Assembly made a grant of £1,000 (£170,000 in 2019) to repair and re-flag the walls to make a walkway with an unfortified parapet.
Improvements in transport in the 19th and 20th centuries have resulted in further alterations to the walls. In 1846 the Chester and Holyhead Railway was built, cutting the walls and passing under the northwest corner. By the 1930s road traffic had increased and was causing severe congestion in the middle of the city. A new road was created to the south of the centre of the city, breaching the east wall to the west of the Amphitheatre. Following the Second World War traffic increased further and in the 1960s the Inner Ring Road was built to take traffic from Grosvenor Bridge to the west of the city centre.

Walking alongside the Rochdale Canal approaching the Grade II Listed Woodhouse Mill Bridge and the Grade II* Listed Woodhouse Mill, in Todmorden, Calderdale, West Yorkshire.
The Rochdale is a broad canal because its locks are wide enough to allow vessels of 14 feet width. The canal runs for 32 miles (51 km) across the Pennines from the Bridgewater Canal at Castlefield Basin in Manchester to join the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire. As built, the canal had 92 locks. Whilst the traditional lock numbering has been retained on all restored locks, and on the relocated locks, the canal now has 91. Locks 3 and 4 have been replaced with a single deep lock, Tuel Lane Lock, which is numbered 3/4.
The Rochdale Canal was conceived in 1776, when a group of 48 men from Rochdale raised £237 and commissioned James Brindley to conduct a survey of possible routes between Sowerby Bridge and Manchester. Brindley proposed a route similar to the one built, and another more expensive route via Bury. Further progress was not made until 1791, when John Rennie was asked to make a new survey in June, and two months later to make surveys for branches to Rochdale, Oldham and to a limeworks near Todmorden. Rennie at the time had no experience of building canals.
The promoters, unsure as to whether to build a wide or a narrow canal, postponed the decision until an Act of Parliament had been obtained. The first attempt to obtain an act was made in 1792, but was opposed by mill owners, concerned about water supply. Rennie proposed using steam pumping engines, three in Yorkshire, eight in Lancashire, and one on the Burnley Branch, but the mill owners argued that 59 mills would be affected by the scheme, resulting in unemployment, and the bill was defeated. In September 1792, William Crosley and John Longbotham surveyed the area in an attempt to find locations for reservoirs which would not affect water supplies to the mills. A second bill was presented to Parliament, for a canal which would have a 3,000-yard (2,700 m) tunnel and 11 reservoirs. Again the bill was defeated, this time by one vote. The promoters, in an attempt to understand the mill owners' position, asked William Jessop to survey the parts of the proposed canal that were causing most concern. Jessop gave evidence to the Parliamentary committee, and on 4 April 1794 an act was obtained which created the Rochdale Canal Company and authorised construction.
Rennie's estimated cost in the second bill was £291,000, and the company was empowered to raise the money by issuing shares, with powers to raise a further £100,000 if required. The estimate was for a narrow canal, whereas the act authorised a broad canal, and so the capital was never going to be adequate. The summit tunnel was abandoned in favour of 14 additional locks saving £20,000. Jessop proposed constructing each lock with a drop of 10 feet (3.0 m), resulting in efficient use of water and the need to manufacture only one size of lock gate.
The canal opened in stages as sections were completed, with the Rochdale Branch the first in 1798 and further sections in 1799. The bottom nine locks opened in 1800 and boats using the Ashton Canal could reach Manchester. Officially, the canal opened in 1804, but construction work continued for more three years. A 1.5-mile (2.4 km) branch from Heywood to Castleton opened in 1834.
Apart from a short profitable section in Manchester linking the Bridgewater and Ashton Canals, most of the length was closed in 1952 when an act of parliament was obtained to ban public navigation. The last complete journey had taken place in 1937, and by the mid 1960s the remainder was almost unusable. Construction of the M62 motorway in the late 1960s took no account of the canal, cutting it in two.
When an Act of Parliament was sought in 1965, to authorise the abandonment of the canal, the Inland Waterways Association petitioned against it, and when it was finally passed, it contained a clause that ensured the owners would maintain it until the adjacent Ashton Canal was abandoned. Discussion of the relative merits of restoring the canal or the Huddersfield Narrow Canal in 1973 led the formation of societies to promote both schemes in 1974. The Rochdale Canal Society wanted to see the canal fully re-opened, as part of a proposed Pennine Park
The Rochdale Canal Society worked hard both to protect the line of the canal and to begin the process of refurbishing it. A new organisational structure was created in 1984, with the formation of the Rochdale Canal Trust Ltd, who leased the canal from the owning company. The MSC-funded restoration was approaching Sowerby Bridge, where planners were proposing a tunnel and deep lock to negotiate a difficult road junction at Tuel Lane, so that a connection could be made with the Calder and Hebble Navigation. The entire eastern section from Sowerby Bridge to the summit at Longlees was open by 1990, although it remained isolated from the canal network.
In 1997, the Rochdale Canal Trust was restructured, in response to announcements that there might be large grants available as part of the millennium celebrations. The canal was still at this point owned by a private company, and the Millennium Commission would not make grants to a scheme which was for private profit, rather than public benefit. The restructuring would allow the Trust to take over responsibility for the canal from the Rochdale Canal Company. However, the plan was rejected by the Commission, and in order to access the grant of £11.3 million, the Waterways Trust took over ownership of the canal. As restoration proceeded, boats could travel further and further west, and the restoration of the sections through Failsworth and Ancoats were a significant part of the re-development of the north Manchester districts. The restored sections joined up with the section in Manchester below the Ashton Canal junction, which had never been closed, and on 1 July 2002 the canal was open for navigation along its entire length.

Hello everyone! Hope you all are well. So here is my wish list for 2020.
Last year I had gone a tad over budget. About a thousand dollars over budget. Yes, I know, tut tut and all that. And this year it has to be a very different story. As you all may know I am getting married this year. All of the money we had saved for the weddings gone as we had to move out late last year. It has been trying and the wedding is going to be a budget one, so I can't really buy much this year in terms of dolls but I can still wish.
My collection also went through a drastic change last year. I went crazy on Superstar, found I wasn't too fond of MOD, and even ventured into the 00s. I cleaned out my collection twice using the KonMari method. And discovered more about what I really do and really do not like.
So rather than flittering away my money on lots of small things I "wouldn't mind" or that would "provide content" for my YouTube channel. I am going to start focusing on the things that are ACTUALLY on my wish list.
My complete Wish List consists of only 38 items now. Crazy isn't it!? Why is it so small you ask? Well, I am now able to tell more accurately what I genuinely like and I have been collecting for a few years now and have obtained most of the smaller, cheaper, and easier to find items I wanted. The 38 that remain are either HTF or quite pricey.
So These are the 6 I am going to try to focus on this year. I allow myself a $2000 budget each year. So that is roughly $333 every two months for each item. I may or may not be able to obtain these items for that price, but I am determined to keep my spending under control this year. I had actually already obtained one of these items late last year after creating this image, with the help of the beautiful Fashion Photo Elaine. Thank you Elaine!
Wish me luck! And don't forget to share your Wish List and tag me too please :D
In no particular order these are my top 10 underrated movie gems that everyone needs to check out. What do you think? Leave a comment bellow!
Army of Darkness: Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy is one of the most innovative horror franchises of all time. Due to the humor and fun visuals, the third in the series just so happens to be one of my all time favorite movies. The plot is bonkers yet super fun and energetic. Bruce Campbell's character Ash is one of my all time favorite movie characters and if you check out Army of Darkness, you'll know why. Any fan of horror, fantasy, action, comedy, or Sam Raimi needs to check this movie out!
After Hours: This movie is one of director Marty Scorsese's great comedies (others being The King of Comedy and The Wolf of Wall Street ). Unfortunately like The King of Comedy, After Hours is extremely underrated. Seriously this movie is one of the most fun, thrilling, and entertaining dark comedy of all time. Seriously, I cannot stress this enough, this is just one of those fun movies that everyone should see. Scorsese's directing is impeccable (like always) and its a shame more people don't obsess over it like some of his other great movies. If you're looking for a masterful dark comedy or a movie that explores night life, this is the movie for you.
Miami Connection: Holy shit. This movie is insane. This movie is everything you could ask for in an action movie. So the story behind this movie is back in the 1980s a tae kwon do master and beloved inspiration speaker Y.K. Kim wanted to make the ultimate action tae kwon do movie. When it came out it only played in a handful of local theaters in the Orlando area and was universally paned. It wasn't until it was rediscovered a few years back when gained a fan base. This movie has it all from an original soundtrack consisting of rock and roll songs about ninjas to epic street brawls. This movie is an earnest and passionate attempt to make a blockbuster and the love and care really shows. If you're not convinced check out this episode of Best of the Worst: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbWTthXfdBc
THX 1138: Once upon a time George Lucas was just a weird nerd who wanted to make super trippy experimental films. THX 1138 is actually the feature length adaptation of the critically acclaimed student film he made back in the 1960s. Though the movie was a huge flop both critically and financially, it lives on as a prime example of how to make a dystopian science fiction film. Without this dark story Lucas would never have been pushed towards telling light hearted stories like American Graffiti (almost made the list), Star Wars, and Indiana Jones.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: This is another black comedy that takes place mostly during the night much like After Hours. Shane Black is a legendary action writer and this was the first film he directed. This might be one of the best first tries at directing I've ever seen. The chemistry between Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer is off the charts and the dialogue is so much fun. The story is a wonderful action mystery filled with twists and turns. Its a perfect noir that highlights Los Angeles perfectly. This is a contender for one of the best comedies I've ever seen. If you're a fan of Quentin Tarantino, you will definitely enjoy this movie, its very much in the same style as some of his early films.
Swingers: This movie launched the careers of Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, and Doug Liman. This is such a great comedy and it continues the trend of this list of comedies that explore night life. Its the perfect "guy's movie" that explores the allure of women, friendship, and the loneliness that comes with breaking up. Its movies like this that make you feel ashamed of those lowest common denominator comedies that come out these days. Such a great script, super fun characters, and timeless themes; whats not to like?
Fateful Findings: Step aside The Room, Fateful Findings has dethroned you as the "best worst movie". Neil Breen is an architect based out of Las Vegas who funds all of his movies on his own as well as writing, directing, producing, and staring in every one of his movies (including this one). He has literally no education in filmmaking and it shows in this movie but who cares, this movie is mesmerizing. Its suppose to be some sort of drama about corporate greed but it all comes across as narcissistic and pretentious. Its seriously one of the most mind boggling movies out there. Its cheesy, its low budget, and its amazing. Its the greatest bad movie ever made.
True Lies: James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger are a power house couple couple and for some odd reason this gem of a movie has been swept under the rug over the past 25 years. This might be one of the best action movies ever with jaw dropping action set pieces and hilarious dialogue. I am a huge fan of Cameron and its a shame that Avatar is overshadowing his amazing filmography, this movie in particular. This movie is grand spectacle filled with wonderful characters. Do your self a favor and watch it now.
The Untouchables: Its baffling how this movie isn't held to a higher regard. This movie belongs in the pantheon of gangster movies and its one of the greatest movies ever made. Brian De Palma's directing is so crazy good I can't really put it into words. Every performance from DeNiro to Connery to Kevin Costner is energetic and powerful. The action is sparse yet amazing and the cinematography is wonderful and pays homage to films of the past. Ennio Morricone's score is easily top 10 of all time yet no one talks about it. The more I type, the more I get confused to why this movie isn't more popular. If you're going to watch any of these movie, watch this one.
Big Trouble in Little China: The easiest way to describe this movie is a campy version of Temple of Doom boosted up to level 11. John Carpenter is such an energetic director and his style feeds right into Kurt Russel's macho and charisma filled performance. Much like Miami Connection the action in this movie is so over the top but in the most enjoyable fashion. Seeing Kurt Russel's character be totally confused by Asian culture makes for a perfect fish out of water story. Its the perfect blend of crazy kung fu and western action.

The Grade I Listed ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, in Glastonbury, Somerset.
The Saxons, who had been converted to Christianity, conquered the ancient county of Somerset in the 7th Century. Their King was Ine of Wessex, who was widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the history of the abbey. He was a local man who boosted the status and income of the abbey.
This church was enlarged in the 10th century by the Abbot of Glastonbury, St. Dunstan, who became the Archbishop of Canterbury in 960. In 1066, the wealth of the abbey could not cushion the Saxon monks from the disruption caused by the foreign invasion and subsequent conquest of England by the Normans.
Skilled Norman craftspeople contributed much to the abbey by adding magnificent buildings to the existing Saxon Church. These were built to the east of the older church and away from the ancient cemetery. The Norman betterment of the abbey was extensive. In 1086, when the Domesday Book was commissioned to provide records and a census of life in England, Glastonbury Abbey was the richest monastery in the country.
The great Norman structures were consumed by fire in 1184 when many of the ancient treasures were destroyed. One story goes, that to raise extra funds from pilgrims to rebuild the abbey the monks, in 1191, dug to find King Arthur and his Queen Guinevere; and bones from two bodies were raised from a deep grave in, the cemetery on the south side of the Lady Chapel. These bones were reburied, much later, in 1278 within the Abbey Church, in the presence of King Edward I.
When the monastic buildings were destroyed in the fire of 1184, the medieval monks needed to find a new place to worship. There is evidence that the 12th century nave was renovated and used for this purpose for almost 30 years, until some of the work was completed on the new church.
In the 14th century, as the head of the second wealthiest abbey in Britain (behind Westminster Abbey), the Abbot of Glastonbury lived in considerable splendour and wielded tremendous power. The main surviving example of this power and wealth is to be found in the Abbot's Kitchen - part of the magnificent Abbot's house begun by John de Breynton (1334-42).
In 1536, during the 27th year of the reign of Henry VIII, there were over 800 monasteries, nunneries and friaries in Britain. By 1541, there were none. More than 10,000 monks and nuns had been dispersed and the buildings had been seized by the Crown to be sold off or leased to new lay occupiers. Glastonbury Abbey was one of principal victims of this action by the King, during the social and religious upheaval known as the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

The Grade II* Listed 78 Derngate a Georgian house built in 1815 and now a museum in the Cultural Quarter of Northampton, Northamptonshire.
It is noted for its interior, which was extensively remodelled in 1916 and 1917 by noted architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh for businessman Wenman Joseph Bassett-Lowke as his first marital home.
The rear elevation also features a striking extension with two elevated balconies which, in 1916, overlooked meadowland to the edge of Northampton. The design origins of this extension have been the subject of some scholarly debate and a myth of Mackintosh as a modernist pioneer in his late career has persisted. However, recent research suggests that Bassett-Lowke and Alexander Ellis Anderson (a Northampton-based architect who supervised the remodelling) may also have had a hand in the design of this structure as well as Mackintosh. In 1926 the Bassett Lowkes moved to New Ways, a pioneering modernist house designed by Peter Behrens close to Abington Park.
Between 1964 and 1993 the building was used by Northampton High School for girls, initially as offices but later as classrooms. In 2002 work started to restore the house to Mackintosh's original design. This work was under the direction of architects John McAslan + Partners and involved a team of specialist contractors for expert restoration, or replication of, the original features of the Mackintosh period scheme.
After eighteen months of restoration, the house was opened to the public in late 2003. Small group guided tours or self-guided visits are available and provide an insight into this stunning and unique example of a Mackintosh-designed house in England.
A supporting museum adjoins 78 Derngate and is housed in number 80. In 2003, the Discovery Channel aired a documentary series hosted by Eric Knowles titled The House That Mackintosh Built. The series followed aspects of the property restoration as it was in progress. In May 2007 a new visitors centre at 82 Derngate was opened to provide further facilities and exhibitions for visitors. This building, also restored by John McAslan + Partners, houses a restaurant, art galleries, meeting rooms, shop, visitor reception and administration offices. A regular programme of exhibitions and events is offered and an active 'Friends of 78 Derngate' group continues to raise funds for ongoing development of the project. On 3 October 2013, HRH Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester visited 78 Derngate to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its opening to the public.

The Grade II Listed Winterbourne House, Edgbaston, Birmingham, West Midlands.
Winterbourne House and Garden were designed in 1903 as a family home for John and Margaret Nettlefold. John Nettlefold commissioned local architect Joseph Lancaster Ball to design and build the house which was finished in 1904. The house was made of brick and tile and has an intentionally wavy roof line. Margaret Nettlefold designed the original garden herself. The influence of designer Gertrude Jekyll can be seen in the colour themed border planting.
The Nettlefolds lived in the house with their children until Nettlefold's health meant he had to move away. In 1919, Margaret Nettlefold sold Winterbourne and moved away to be closer to her husband. The property was then bought by the Wheelock family who had 9 children. Wheelock was a local lawyer. The Wheelocks stayed at Winterbourne until 1925 when it was purchased by John Nicolson who was a successful businessman. Nicolson was a keen gardener and made several improvements to the garden at Winterbourne including expanding the rock garden and adding an alpine area. Nicolson remained at the house until his death in 1944 and Winterbourne was bequeathed to the University. The house and garden remain a part of the University.
The University of Birmingham has made varied use of the building since 1944 but in 2010 it was restored to its former glory as a family home (complete with William Morris design wallpapers). The garden had already undergone a period of restoration. The house and garden are now open as a visitor attraction and the property is grade II listed.
The garden contains many plants from across the world. Highlights include an NCCPG collection of Anthemis, an orchid house, alpine garden, arid house, geographic beds and a Hazel (Corylus) tunnel. Other features of the garden include a restored wooden pergola, sunken rock garden, and a lean-to glasshouse that is notable for having been built on a slant. In 2011 a pleached lime walk was planted to reinstate one that was part of the original garden.
The design of the house was intended to make the best use of available light; notable features are its large windows, white painted panelling and south facing rooms. The house contains furniture dating from the late Victorian period to the 1920s. Restored rooms include a drawing room, study, bedroom and nursery. The visitor tearoom is located where the original dining room would have been.
Listing as 1 previous owner, which considering the lowly trim level and impending launch of the newer model, could be the dealer which supplied the car to begin with, I am amazed anyone was tempted by this, even in 1985, no rear wiper but extra stripes on the lower half.... Good to see it still on the road, whatever the trim level, parked up at some flats near a train station, I reckon it's rarely used these days, and probably has a very low mileage on it. Seems to have coped with the rust as well, always a bonus.
i found this list in a library book about fifteen years ago, i put the stamp on there not long after i found it. sometimes i wish i hadn't, sometimes i'm glad i did.
