The Holy Bible is the third studio album by Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers. It was released on 30 August 1994 by record label Epic. At the time the album was written and recorded, lyricist and rhythm guitarist Richey Edwards was struggling with severe depression, alcohol abuse, self-harm and anorexia nervosa, and its contents are considered by many sources to reflect his mental state. The songs focus on themes relating to politics and human suffering. The Holy Bible was the band's last album released before Edwards' disappearance on 1 February 1995. Although it reached number 6 on the UK Albums Chart, initially, global sales were disappointing compared to previous albums and the record did not chart in mainland Europe or North America. It was promoted with tours and fes...

Pink Floyd bootleg recordings are the collections of audio and video recordings of musical performances by the British rock band Pink Floyd, which were never officially released by the band. The recordings consist of both live performances and outtakes from studio sessions unavailable in official releases. In some cases, certain bootleg recordings may be highly prized among collectors, as at least 40 songs composed by Pink Floyd have never been officially released. During the 1970s, bands such as Pink Floyd created a lucrative market for the mass production of unofficial recordings with large followings of fans willing to purchase them. In addition, the huge crowds that turned up to these concerts made the effective policing of the audience for the presence of recording equipment virtually...

13. Photography Tours Bath
Street photography, also sometimes called candid photography, is photography conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chance encounters and random incidents within public places. Although there is a difference between street and candid photography, it is usually subtle with most street photography being candid in nature and some candid photography being classifiable as street photography. Street photography does not necessitate the presence of a street or even the urban environment. Though people usually feature directly, street photography might be absent of people and can be of an object or environment where the image projects a decidedly human character in facsimile or aesthetic. The street photographer can be seen as an extension of the flâneur, an observer of the streets...

The buildings and architecture of Bath, a city in Somerset in the south west of England, reveal significant examples of the architecture of England, from the Roman Baths , to the present day. The city became a World Heritage Site in 1987, largely because of its architectural history and the way in which the city landscape draws together public and private buildings and spaces. The many examples of Palladian architecture are purposefully integrated with the urban spaces to provide picturesque aestheticism. It is the only entire city in Britain to achieve World Heritage status, and is a popular tourist destination. Important buildings include the Roman Baths; neoclassical architect Robert Adam's Pulteney Bridge, based on an unused design for the Rialto Bridge in Venice; and Bath Abbey in the...

Wells (Things to do - Places to Visit) - WELLS Top Tourist Places
City in England
Wells is a cathedral city and civil parish in the Mendip district of Somerset, on the southern edge of the Mendip Hills. Although the population recorded in the 2011 census was only 10,536, and with a built-up area of just 3.245 square kilometers, Wells has had city status since medieval times, because of the presence of Wells Cathedral.

Often described as England's smallest city, it is second only to the City of London in area and population, though not part of a larger urban agglomeration. Wells is named from three wells dedicated to Saint Andrew, one in the market place and two within the grounds of the Bishop's Palace and cathedral.

Exploring the sites of Wells Somerset

Touring of Wells Somerset - Hot Fuzz & Cathedrals

In this episode we continue our tour of Somerset by visiting one of the must see places in Somerset - the City of Wells. A short drive from Cheddar is the city of Wells. England's smallest city.

Wells City is famous for lots of things but mainly for it's amazing cathedral which towers above the city. Ever wondered where the movie Hot Fuzz was filmed - yes that's correct - it was filmed in the City of Wells, Somerset. They even now do Hot Fuzz walking tours. Watch the movie before you come and it's fun trying to spot different filming locations as you wander around.

We started our day in the main market square ( the main area in the movie). There is a market there twice a week on Wednesdays and Saturdaya. We were there on Market day and enjoyed looking at all the offering for sale - from hats to local foods.

One of the nicest roads I have ever seen is Vicars Close - claimed to be the oldest purely residential street with original buildings surviving intact in Europe. It is well worth a visit and to get some great photos.

Then have a walk around the Bishops Palace -a wonderful area to explore to the right of Wells cathedral, especially on a sunny day.

Then you MUST go inside and have a walk around the Cathedral. What an amazing building - they really don't make buildings like this anymore - A wonderful Cathedral which was built between 1175 and 1490,

We hope you like this episode - thank you for watching
