Places to see in ( Worsley - UK )
Worsley is a town in the metropolitan borough of the City of Salford, in Greater Manchester, England. A profile of the electoral ward Worsley conducted by Salford City Council in 2014 recorded a population of 10,090. It lies along the course of Worsley Brook, 5.75 miles (9.25 km) west of Manchester. The M60 motorway bisects the area.
Historically part of Lancashire, Worsley has provided evidence of Roman and Anglo-Saxon activity, including two Roman roads. The completion in 1761 of the Bridgewater Canal allowed Worsley to expand from a small village of cottage industries to an important town based upon cotton manufacture, iron-working, brick-making and extensive coal mining. Later expansion came after the First and Second World Wars, when large urban estates were built in the region.
Today, Worsley is under consideration to be made a World Heritage Site, including Worsley Delph, a scheduled monument. A significant part of the town's historic centre is now a conservation area. Worsley is first mentioned in a Pipe roll of 1195–96 as Werkesleia, in the claim of a Hugh Putrell to a part of the fee of two knights in nearby Barton-upon-Irwell and Worsley.
Worsley stands about 206 feet (63 m) above sea level. Sheltered at the foot of a middle coal measure running approximately northwest and southeast across the area, the village lies along the course of Worsley Brook, which cuts through the ridge. The ridge also forms part of the northern edge of the Irwell Valley.
One of Worsley's early industries was weaving. A cottage industry, cotton would be spun on spinning wheels and hand-operated looms in people's homes to produce cloth. Merchants would then purchase this cloth, selling it at the Bridgewater Hotel, then known as the Old Grapes Inn.
Worsley now has little industry, and is in the main a tourist destination and commuter town. The area has two large hotels; a Novotel and a Marriott. Worsley Old Hall is now a public house and restaurant in the Brunning and Price chain, part of the Restaurant Group
Worsley Village was in 1969 designated as a conservation area by the former Lancashire County Council. Bisected by the A572 Worsley Road, the area covered about 34.25 acres (138,600 m2) of land and included 40 listed buildings, such as the Packet House, a telephone kiosk, and the Delph sluice gates, but this list has since increased to 48 listed buildings.

Sidelights From The Song Of The Sea (1928)
Excerpts from the musical play The Song of the Sea at His Majesty's Theatre in London which features A.W. Baskcomb, Mary Leigh and Claude Hulbert.
L/S of chorus girls wearing floaty dresses and bonnets doing an elegant dance. The girls then do a balletic style dance in different outfits, longish dresses with little bonnets. We see their feet in C/U as they do some refined high kicks in their ballet points. The girls then hold the bottom of their skirts and twirl around, revealing striped linings to their skirts and frilly bloomers! They turn and twist to show the flowing affect of the skirt and their knickers. We see their legs and undies in C/U. (A favourite technique of the Pathe cameramen of the day to give the audience a bit of a thrill!) The girls then flop down on the stage with their legs extended and their bodies bowed over their legs. Like the Dying Swan.
A.W. Baskcomb, Mary Leigh and Claude Hulbert do a little comedy turn. Mary does some high kicks and attempts to woo one of the men. He looks a bit bemused. C/U of the couple. Someone comes up behind them and interrupts their love making. Mary looks annoyed, she then kisses the newcomer. Her first beau seems to be unaware of the other. They carry on with their canoodling then Mary does a switch so that her first suitor accidentally puts his arm around the other man instead of her. He stands up looking alarmed and outraged. A large piece of the set revolves on stage to change the scene from an interior to an exterior. The chorus mill about and wave at a large stone Pelican!

Places to see in ( Canvey Island - UK )
Places to see in ( Canvey Island - UK )
Canvey Island is a civil parish and reclaimed island in the Thames estuary in Essex, England. It has an area of 7.12 square miles. It is separated from the mainland of south Essex by a network of creeks. Lying only just above sea level it is prone to flooding at exceptional tides, but has nevertheless been inhabited since the Roman invasion of Britain.
Canvey is also notable for its relationship to the petrochemical industry. The island was the site of the first delivery in the world of liquefied natural gas by container ship, and later became the subject of an influential assessment on the risks to a population living within the vicinity of petrochemical shipping and storage facilities.
In 1607 the Elizabethan antiquarian William Camden noted in his work Britannia (a topographical and historical survey of all of Great Britain and Ireland) that Canvey Island (which he called Island Convennon) was documented in the 2nd century by the Alexandrian geographer Ptolemy.
The coast of Canvey Island was host to the Chapman Lighthouse as briefly described in Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness. Philip Benton reported about Canvey Chapel in 1867: The seats are open and unappropriated, except one, which is set apart for the officer and the men under him of the Preventive Service; there being a station on the island for nine men, an officer and a chief boatman.
The Lobster Smack Inn saw many bare-knuckle fights in the 1850s, but few as dramatic as that between Tom 'the Brighton Boy' Sayers (1826–65) and Aaron Jones on 6 January 1857. During the Victorian era Canvey became a very fashionable place to visit, and its air was promoted as having healing properties. This started in 1899, after the Black Monday floods, when an entrepreneur called Frederick Hester bought Leigh Beck Farm, and started what was to be called Southview Park estate.
Canvey Island lies off the south coast of Essex 30 miles (48 km) east of London, and 15 miles (24 km) west of Southend-on-Sea. The island is separated from the mainland to the north and west by Benfleet, East Haven and Vange creeks, and faces the Thames Estuary to the east and south. Along with neighbouring Two Tree Island, Lower Horse and Upper Horse, Canvey is an alluvial island formed in the Holocene period from silt in the River Thames and material entering the estuary on the tides of the North Sea from the coast of Norfolk.
The Lobster Smack public house at the southwest corner of the island is a grade II listed building dated to the 17th century. The pub was known to Charles Dickens who mentioned it in Great Expectations. Alongside the pub is a row of wooden Coastguard cottages that date from the late 19th century which are also of grade II listed status.
Landmarks from the era of Canvey's development as a seaside resort in the 20th century include the International style Labworth Café built 1932–33 and designed by Ove Arup. The building fell into a state of disrepair in the 1970s and 1980s but was renovated in 1996 and now functions as both a beach bistro and restaurant.
Opened in 1979, the Heritage Centre along Canvey Road is housed in the former St. Katherine's Church, which was built in 1874. Originally timber-framed, the church was rendered over in the 1930s to give it its present appearance; it closed as a place of worship in 1962. It now contains an art and craft centre with a small folk museum.

CAERNARFON WALES WALKING TOUR - Castle & Town in Winter
How do we afford to travel so often? We're lucky enough to stay for almost free in every city, using
The castle and city walls of this port and Royal Town in Gwynedd, Wales are part of a World Heritage site.
We'll walk past the statue of David Lloyd George in Castle Square, opposite the brightly painted shop fronts; head down hole-in-the-wall street and Palace Street with their pubs and restaurants, and onto the seafront looking out over the Menai Strait to Anglesey.
(In old guide books you might see the old anglicised spellings of the town, Caernarvon and Carnarvon. These are no longer in use.)
