Mow Cop - CASTLES of the UK series - In the latest episode of Castles of the UK we visit Mow Cop Castle which is a National Trust historical site. Due to the high location and extreme weather I've had to re-dub the sound. But I doubt you'd have noticed if I hadn't have mentioned it. Enjoy and Subscribe for more Castle Videos.
Mow Cop Castle is a folly at Mow Cop in the civil parish of Odd Rode, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The ridge, upon which the castle sits, forms the boundary between the counties of Cheshire and Staffordshire, the dioceses of Chester and Lichfield and the ecclesiastical provinces of Canterbury and York. Traces of a prehistoric camp have been found here, but in 1754, Randle Wilbraham of nearby Rode Hall built an elaborate summerhouse looking like a medieval fortress and round tower.
The area around the castle was nationally famous for the quarrying of high-quality millstones ('querns') for use in water mills. Excavations at Mow Cop have found querns dating back to the Iron Age. The Castle was given to the National Trust in 1937. The same year over ten thousand Methodists met on the hill to commemorate the first Primitive Methodist camp meeting there. Though visitors were originally allowed inside the folly the area surrounding it has been fenced off due to an instance of suicide off the cliff edge. On the turn of the millennium in the year 2000 a large fire was lit beside the folly as part of a network of communicating beacons across the country.
Mow Cop and its folly are central images in Alan Garner's novel, Red Shift.
Abou Gobots
GoBots was a line of transforming robot toys produced by Tonka from 1983 to 1987, similar to Transformers. Although initially a separate and competing franchise, Tonka's Gobots became the intellectual property of Hasbro after their buyout of Tonka in 1991. Subsequently, the universe depicted in the animated series Challenge of the GoBots and follow-up film GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords was established as an alternate universe within the Transformers franchise. While Hasbro now owns the fictional side of the property (character names, bios, storyline), the actual toys and their likenesses were only licensed from Bandai in the 1980s, were not covered by the Tonka acquisition, and are not available for Hasbro use.
The Gobot toyline was based on figures produced by Popy of Japan (later Bandai), named Machine Robo. In another similarity to Transformers, Tonka decided to make the figures sentient robots, rather than human-piloted mecha as they had been in Japan, and divided them into two factions – the good Guardians and evil Renegades (although early figures were simply described as ‘Friendly’ or ‘Enemy’ on the packaging). The figures were all given individual names, in contrast to the simple designations they received in Japan.
Introduced in 1983 by Tonka Inc., the Gobots toys created the robot sensation that swept the nation for a short time. The line sold well initially, but was overtaken by Transformers. 1987 was the final year in which new Gobots were released.
GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords is a 1986 American animated film based on the Gobots toy franchise. It was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions (also responsible for the Challenge of the GoBots television series) and released to theaters in 1986 by Clubhouse Pictures, the last film the company released. It featured the first appearance of the Rock Lords, who were given their own toyline after the movie. These new characters featured the guest voices of Margot Kidder, Telly Savalas and Roddy McDowall. The regulars from the cartoon series all reprised their roles (though Arthur Bughardt played Cop-Tur, as he had in several late television episodes, following the death of Bob Holt).

Mow Cop
Mow Cop /ˈmaʊˈkɒp/ is an isolated village which
straddles the Cheshire–Staffordshire border, and is
divided between the North West and West Midlands
regions of England. It is 24 miles south of Manchester
and 6 miles north of Stoke-on-Trent.
The most dominant feature is Mow Cop Castle which is a
folly of a ruined castle at the summit of the hill, built in
1754.
Mow Cop Castle
Although looking ancient, Mow Cop Castle is not actually a real Castle at all. It was built in 1754 and made to look like a ruined medieval fortress - it was in fact a summer house to be used for picnics and as an eye catcher from the recently built Rode Hall. Perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking Mow Cop Village in Cheshire, it is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The ridge, upon which the castle sits, forms the boundary between the counties of Cheshire and Staffordshire.

Over 4200 Beacons were lit across the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Commonwealth and Overseas UK Territories in celebration of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee on Monday night.
The first beacon was lit in Tonga at 10pm with the last beacon being lit be Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace at 10:30pm.
Mow Cop has for many years been used as a beacon point as it is visible from 5 surrounding counties. During the reign of Queen Elisabeth I, beacons were lit across the country to warn of attempted invasion (such as the Spanish Armada) and Mow Cop would have been a place for one of these Beacons.
The last time the Beacon was lit was 3 June 2002 to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee ( Before that it was on 29 July 1981 to commemorate the wedding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana.
