What The Future Holds For Southsea's Coastal Defences
Southsea seafront is one of Portsmouth’s most popular areas, stretching from Old Portsmouth to Eastney, bringing in much of the city’s tourism in the Summer months.
As with the rest of the UK’s coastline, government funding has been allocated to prepare Southsea for rising sea levels, caused by climate change.
Redevelopment of a space, so important to local residents and the city’s economy is no small task and has inevitably sparked up debate.
Architect Walter Menteth is campaigning with the Portsmouth Elephant Cage, for the best possible coastal defence system.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The German occupation of the Channel Islands lasted for most of the Second World War, from 30 June 1940 until their liberation on 9 May 1945. The Bailiwick of Jersey and Bailiwick of Guernsey are two British Crown dependencies in the English Channel, near the coast of Normandy. The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles to be occupied by the Wehrmacht (German Armed Forces) during the war.
Anticipating a swift victory over Britain, the occupiers experimented by using a very gentle approach that set the theme for the next five years. The island authorities adopted a similar attitude, giving rise to accusations of collaboration. However, as time progressed the situation grew gradually worse, ending in near starvation for both occupied and occupiers during the winter of 1944–45.
Farmington New Hampshire (NH) Real Estate Tour
-- Tour Farmington, NH neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.
Farmington, New Hampshire is located in the southeast corner of the scenic Lakes Region near the Maine border. Comprised of the lush forests, rugged hills, and cozy rural hamlets surrounding Lake Winnipesaukee, Winnisquam Lake and Squam Lake, New Hampshire's Lakes Region offers boundless opportunity for outdoor recreation, sightseeing, relaxation and leisure.
The Abenaki Indians once used the Cochecho River for transportation, and had a camping ground on Meetinghouse Hill, where they built birch bark canoes. Otherwise, the valley was wilderness, through which Indians from the north traveled after crossing Lake Winnipesaukee on their way to raid settlements in and around Dover. To stop the raids, in 1721 the Colonial Assembly in Portsmouth approved construction of a fort at the foot of the lake, with a soldiers' road built from Dover to supply it. In 1722, Bay Road -- old Route 11 -- was surveyed and completed. Along its course the town of Farmington would grow.
The settlement began as the Northwest Parish of Rochester, which was chartered in 1722. The last Indian attack in the general region occurred in 1748, but by 1749, Native Americans had disappeared from warfare and disease. Farmers cultivated the rocky soil, and gristmills used streams for water power to grind their grain. Sawmills cut the abundant timber, and the first frame house at the village was built in 1782. In 1790, Jonas March from Portsmouth established a store, behind which he instructed teamsters to unload on his dock the lumber he traded. The area became known as March's Dock, Farmington Dock, and finally just The Dock.
Inhabitants of the Northwest Parish were taxed to support both the meetinghouse and minister about 12 miles away on Rochester Hill, but the distance made attendance difficult. A movement began in the 1770s to establish a separate township, and in 1783 a petition for charter was submitted to the state legislature. It was denied, but another petition in 1798 was granted. Containing about 1,000 inhabitants, Farmington was incorporated. In 1800, a 40 by 50 foot, 2 story meetinghouse was erected on Meetinghouse Hill. The same year, John Wingate established a blacksmithy. He would also become proprietor of Wingate's Tavern.
Shoe Factory c. 1910In the 19th century, the community developed a prime shoe-making industry, and was one of the first places to use automated machines instead of handwork. In 1836, shoe-manufacturing began at a shop on Spring Street built by E.H. Badger, although it was soon abandoned to creditors. Martin Luther Hayes took over the business, and by 1840 was successful enough to enlarge the handsome Greek Revival building. The town would be connected by railroad to Dover in 1849, the line extended to Alton Bay in 1851. Shoes were shipped to Boston to be sold at semi-annual auctions for 50 cents a pair.
Following the Civil War, the shoe business boomed and numerous factories were built. Despite a fire in 1875 which destroyed much of the center of town, Farmington was known as The Shoe Capital of New Hampshire. Other factories produced knives, knit underwear, wooden boxes, wooden handles and carriages. Brushes were manufactured by the F.W. Browne Co., from which Booker T. Washington ordered 12 street brooms in 1915 for use at the Tuskegee Institute. The town had 5 blacksmith shops. But the Depression of 1893 closed all but 2 large shoe factories. The industry faded in the 20th century, when most of the town's factories were demolished. One shoe factory would find new use as an antique shop. Another antique store opened in the brush factory, itself the historic Badger-Hayes Shoe Shop. Today, the major industry in Farmington is Collins & Aikman, located on Route 11.
