Jess Smith Task 2 History Mrs Knight "What are the similarities and differences between the siting, building development and decline of Conwy Castle compared to the other Castles of the Medieval Period?" In this I will be comparing Conwy to two other castles, Beaumaris and Exeter. In England the King Edward I, Longshanks (1272 - 1307) built castles along the border with Wales, this can be seen in source a which shows that the castles form a ring also known as the "Iron Ring". Source A shows us a map of Edward I's invasion to Wales the Castles he built were all in defensive positions along the coast. Most English castles were not concentric for two reasons: . There were other Castles buildings in many other sites and so walls were added. 2. The site of the castles were unsuitable so they could not fit a huge castle on top of the original hill/motte. The Welsh castles had been the design and direction of Master James of St. George a French crusader who had been on the crusades in Europe. Source D tells me that this is true, and Edwards chief architect "One of the greatest architects of the middle ages - Master James of St. George". He brought a variety of ideas and designs for the castles. Construction on Conwy Castle was started in 1283 and it was completed in 1287. Edward I completed the conquest of Snowdonia and ended the rule of the Welsh princes
creative writing
COURSEWORK: CREATIVE WRITING PLEASURE TURNS SOUR A big beautiful mansion sitting right up the road of a busy small town. The outer parts is as beautiful as a paradise and it everyman's fantasy with a welcoming golden writing hanging on the beautiful light blue wall. The inner part is as bright as a tunnel with loads of space. The building was so bright that it light up the whole town. I was on a tour with some friends to find an interesting adventure to write in our novel. We have travelled from town to town till we came to this town called GRAVE HILL. The people of Grave hill are very nice people and there were loads of things to write about the town and the way they survive on their little farm and how they live together as a family helping each other in time of trouble. They were very welcoming and made us feel appreciated and they also were willing to help us with our adventure and they also promised to show us around the town but because we arrived late they told us to wait till morning. The only problem we had was accommodation; the people never had a big apartment to accommodate us. You can pass the night in my Attic...Said the Old Lady AN ATTIC... exclaimed Sandra Hell no, How can I live my big bedroom all just to come and sleep in an attic, there is absolutely no way that is going to happen (she whispered). We were not thrilled by the old woman's offer so we
How far does Quarry Bank Mill demonstrate the methods of factory production introduced during the Industrial Revolution ?
How far does Quarry Bank Mill demonstrate the methods of factory production introduced during the Industrial Revolution ? Under the domestic system, in textile production the entire process took far longer and was much less efficient than under the later industrial system. This was due to a number of reasons: the fact that the work was carried out from the homes and therefore there were flexible working hours, the equipment and processes were far less advanced and efficient; due to the cost and size of better equipment, the workers were clearly not all in one place, so moving textiles between sites was inefficient but necessary and finally there was the textile merchant. These were the people who bought and sold the textiles to the workers in various states: they bought cotton and sold it to houses, bought it back as cotton thread, sold it back (often to the same house) and bought back cloth etc. These were some of the major reasons why the domestic system was badly flawed. In the industrial revolution the first thing, which was accomplished, was to build factories designed to house new machines, which were far more efficient and faster albeit larger and more expensive. This was why the switch to factory-based systems took place. Richard Arkwright built the first one in Cromford. Style followed later. These factories were ideal for mass production because everything was
Impact of Planning in the Property Market
Planning in the property market Running Head: Planning in the property market Impact of Planning in the Property Market. Craig O’Holleran Heriot-Watt University Introduction “Land is now one of the most regulated markets on the planet” (McLaughlin, 2012: p50). There is a lot of debate whether planning policy in the property market is beneficial to all involved. Is the property market better off without the restrictions of planning policy? Are developers the winners and the public the losers or vice versa? This paper will try to explain the role and impact of planning on the property market regarding land use, land supply, demand, restrictions and levies on developers. The method of research for this paper is though various peer-reviewed journals and Governmental documentation. The Role and impact of planning on the property market The property market deals with the rights and interest in land and buildings (Balchin el al, 1995). The ownership of the rights to occupy a site can give great benefits to the buyer through development and investment. All land is heterogeneous and a use of a particular site may suit a specific purpose or command a higher price for one use over another. The property market consists of many land users such as, residential, retail, agricultural, offices, and manufacturing. Developers are competing for this land to develop properties
Describe the professional and managerial workforce who may be involved in the development of a built facility and describe how their roles may differ according to the procurement system that is used
Built Facility & Construction Industry Studies (CE1CIS) Describe the professional and managerial workforce who may be involved in the development of a built facility and describe how their roles may differ according to the procurement system that is used for the procurement of the design and construction of the facility. The construction industry has different professional and managerial roles that work together to produce the design and construction of a built facility. This essay will aim to describe the different professional and managerial roles then outline and illustrate how these roles are applied to the procurement of the design and construction of a built facility. The construction industry is one of the biggest industries in the UK. The department for business innovation and skills (BIS) illustrates that this sector covers building infrastructure, the building of public and private housing, the construction of public non-housing such as schools, industrial buildings, commercial buildings and the repair and maintenance of these built facilities. Research suggests that the industry is responsible for ‘81billion of outputs (£203 billion turnover) every year and up to 8% of the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP)’.Morton (2002) puts forward that an industry like construction is very ‘labour intensive in which the skills, commitment and effective organisation

What effect did Shakespeare have on the Oxford English Dictionary and the English language?
EN1040 119005820 4. What effect did Shakespeare have on the Oxford English Dictionary and the English language? The Oxford English Dictionary has throughout its existence been renowned as one of the greatest feats of editorial history, with worldwide recognition as the “most complete historical record of the English language ever assembled.”[1] But with its creation came controversy over the acceptance, origins and sources of the words included, and very often a biased view can be seen towards the sources from which these words were derived as a result of the social class of the source. Studying the sources of the OED enables us to understand a lot about its history as well as the expectations of the lexicographers behind it, however when reviewing the sources, the emphasis put on the research and analyse of the lexis of one source in particular is very surprising, and this is the work of William Shakespeare. The vocabulary in the work of William Shakespeare is so extensive as a result of war, exploration and colonization that at the time his plays contained an abundance of material of which lexicographers went about analysing, however it is important to note his prestige played a vital role in their acceptance of his work. In this essay I will aim to understand how the lexis and prestige of William Shakespeare helps to form the OED and in turn will
Kevin Lynch - "The Image of the City." Applying mind mapping to a town on Malta.
Image of the City Daniel Muscat – B. E. & A. (Hons) Year 3 Semester 2 Every city portrays its own image, which is perceived by its inhabitants and the visitors passing through. This image is created with time, as each individual village, town or city develop, creating their own histories and building their own landmarks. This history gives an identity to the inhabitants of the village, and apart from the general history, each individual will create his or her own history, which will give a whole new meaning to the village. Kevin Lynch discusses this theme in his book “The Image of the City”, and states how an image is perceived differently by each individual, and a meaning of a place varies from one person to another.[1] This is due to the fact that every individual experiences different aspects of every village, and a place will be perceived differently due to these individual experiences. Charles Jencks states that every settlement is capable of being motivated, and it is this meaning that gives life to a city.[2] Even though the planning of the city is very important in order for the city to be legible, it is the meaning that gives life to the city. Kevin Lynch further develops his studies and divides the city into five elements, which are; paths, landmarks, edges, nodes and districts, which are the main constituents of the image formed by the inhabitants, since
Major urban regeneration programmes in the UK
A CATALYST IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS In the cities, it is the largest accumulation of people (and their activities relate to the area), the production and consumption of goods (taken from field and/or industrial processing), and the services that can eventually damage areas of the cities. Moreover, it has been observed that our cities are constantly growing and also modifying some of its parts due to individual or collective initiatives that seek better conditions for our activities but deteriorating the infrastructure and the quality of the urban spaces ignoring the consequences that it carries out. Also, the damaged areas of a city changes demand that they become true integral transformations. These changes cannot be achieved with single projects that are not part of a strategy that goes beyond an intervention that aims to promote definite improvements. In this point, urban regeneration is a tool that has proved efficient and has become, for many cities, project spearheaded processes that have reached such achievements, exceeding original expectations. At the end, it is the responsibility of the authorities to arrest the deterioration of parts of the city administrations, and citizenship, support and encourage this type of intervention. According to Roberts and Sykes (2000, p. 17) urban regeneration has been defined as a: …comprehensive and integrated vision and
