Reed Gallery Opening - Samuel Johnson, 1709-2009: Life & Afterlife

The latest exhibition of the Dunedin Public Libraries commemorates the birth of critic, poet, lexicographer, and larger-than-life literary personality Dr Samuel Johnson (1709-1784).

The exhibition celebrates not only his achievements, but also his continued legacy that has lasted for centuries. Johnson, unlike a number of his contemporaries, is not just another dead writer. Three hundred years after his birth in Lichfield, England, on 18 September 1709, Johnson continues to exert a strong pull upon the mind and imagination of people such as founder of Reed Publishing and national folk icon, A. H. Reed (1875-1975).

In this clip Paul Tankard, Senior Lecturer in English - University of Otago talks about the exhibition.

Riding the Thames Clipper! London Eye to Canary Wharf 22/05/15

Today you join me in the shadow of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament at the London Eye Pier for a charge down the River Thames aboard the Hurricane Clipper, one of 13 vessels used to operate the high speed Thames Clipper service from this point to North Greenwich.

The Thames Clipper service commenced operation in 1999 as a high speed, river based alternative to the Underground or Buses. The Hurricane Clipper entered service in 2001, and is capable of a top speed of 28 Knots, or 32mph, which for a boat is impressive. It is 124ft long and can carry 220 passengers.

1. First, the London Eye, completed in March 2000 as part of the Millennium celebrations. The structure is 443ft tall, making it the tallest Ferris Wheel in the world at the time of its erection in 1999, and consists of 32 capsules with a capacity of 25, doing a complete rotation of the wheel in 30 minutes.

2. Next, we pass beneath Hungerford Bridge, completed in 1864 to carry trains out of Charing Cross station. It is flanked by the two Golden Jubilee Bridges opened in 2002 to provide pedestrian access.

3. Next is Waterloo Bridge, built in 1945 to replace the original structure from 1817, which was demolished due to a fault in the design of the piers.

4. We then pass the preserved Escort vessel HQS Wellington, launched in 1934 and saw service in World War II escorting Atlantic Convoys. It was decommissioned in 1947, and converted to Head Quarters Ship (hence HQS) Wellington, being floated to her current position in 1948.

5. Liveried in striking wartime 'Dazzle' paint-scheme, HMS President, a Flower-Class anti-submarine vessel launched in 1918. The ship was only in active service until 1922 when it was permanently moored where it is now, and is one of only three British World War I vessels to survive in preservation.

6. We then pass under Blackfriars bridges, the pillars of the former 1864 bridge still visible on the left. St Paul's Cathedral then comes into view, opened in 1708 after nearly 35 years of construction to replace the original church of 604AD destroyed by the Great Fire of London. Today it is one of the most recognisable structures in the world.

7. Next we pass the London Millennium Bridge, opened in June 2000, but closed shortly afterwards due to a resonance that made the bridge sway in an unstable manner. The structure was retrofitted throughout 2001 at a cost of £5m and reopened in February 2002.

8. We then see the Tate Modern Art Gallery, and a replica of the famous Globe Theatre, the original 1599 structure where Shakespeare performed being destroyed by fire in 1613. This reconstruction was opened in 1997.

9. We then pass Southwark Bridge, followed by Cannon Street Bridge, opened in 1866 to carry trains from the nearby South Eastern Railway terminus.

10. Next, the skyscrapers of the City of London come into view, including the Walkie-Talkie, the Cheesegrater and the Gherkin. This is followed by the modern incarnation of London Bridge, the original wooden structure opening in AD50, replaced by the first stone bridge in 1176. The 1176 bridge was rebuilt in 1832, that structure being replaced by the current London Bridge of 1971.

11. Next, the Shard, Britain's tallest habitable structure at 95 floors and 1,016ft. The structure opened in 2013, and is home to offices, hotels, restaurants and an open air observation deck.

12. We then pass HMS Belfast, the last conventional warship to be retired from the Royal Navy. The vessel was launched in 1936, and lived a busy life during World War II. After assisting in the D-Day landings, the vessel spent the remainder of its days in the Far East, assisting in the Korean War before being retired in 1963. It opened to the public in 1971.

13. Next up, the Tower of London, the historic Norman fortress built to guard the Thames in 1078. Since then it has been one of the most prominent symbols of power in British history, most notably as a dungeon and place of execution for traitors, political prisoners, even Royals.

14. We then pass beneath Tower Bridge, opened in 1894 as one of the most iconic bridges and structures in the world. The bridge is an ingenious combination of a Bascule Lifting Bridge and a Suspension Bridge, at a length of 801ft and a tower height of 213ft. Until the 1991 opening of the Queen Elizabeth II bridge at Dartford, it was the last bridge to cross the Thames before the sea.

15. Now away from the congested leisure traffic of the Thames, the Clipper puts on the power to full throttle as we pass the luxury riverside apartments of Limehouse.

16. Eventually, we arrive at Canary Wharf, built since the late 1980's as one of the most prominent financial centres in the world, although in previous history it was the main dockyard for ships from across the globe carrying goods from both the British Empire and beyond. The skyscrapers of One Canada Square and the HSBC tower certainly make a difference to the Dockland Cranes of yesteryear.

Enjoy!

And in this exhibition they included the various Field Sketches & Studies along with their finished Studio Paintings & Sculptures in order to give the public a much better idea as to how they work creatively in the field... in remote regions of the world.

Slough

Slough is a ten-stanza poem by Sir John Betjeman, first published in his 1937 collection Continual Dew. The poem was published two years before the outbreak of World War II, during which time Britain (including Slough itself) experienced actual air raids. Much later, in a guide to English churches, Betjeman referred to some churches as beyond the tentacles of Slough and dangerously near Slough. However, on the centenary of Betjeman's birth in 2006, his daughter apologised for the poem. Candida Lycett-Green said her father regretted having ever written it. During her visit, Lycett-Green presented Mayor of Slough David MacIsaac with a book of her father's poems. In it was written: We love Slough. [Wikipedia]

Places to see in ( Hanley - UK )

Places to see in ( Hanley - UK )

Hanley, in Staffordshire, England, is one of the six major towns that joined together to form the city of Stoke-on-Trent in 1910. Hanley was the only one of the six towns to be a county borough before the merger; its status was transferred to the enlarged borough. Hanley was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1857 and became a county borough with the passage of the Local Government Act 1888. It is now the city's main shopping centre, the Potteries Shopping Centre containing many high street chain stores.

At one time, there were many coal mines in North Staffordshire. Hanley Deep Pit was opened in 1854. It was the deepest pit in the North Staffordshire coalfield, reaching a depth of 1500 feet. At its peak in the 1930s it employed some 2000 men and boys often producing 9000 tons of coal a week. The pit was closed in 1962 but much of the headgear and spoilheaps were left in situ. Then, in the 1980s, the original site was cleared, landscaped and converted into Hanley Forest Park.

The 1986 Stoke-on-Trent Garden Festival led to the reclamation of large areas of land west of the city centre area – including the former Shelton steelworks, which had been derelict since 1978. Ironically, when the Garden Festival closed, the land remained derelict for some time, before being re-developed partly into public parkland and partly for retail and leisure.

In 2013, a brand new and modern bus station opened in Hanley. This replaced the former bus station, on Lichfield Street. The new bus station is the first stage in the regeneration project which will see the previous bus station demolished, and replaced with a new centre consisting of shops, restaurants and a cinema. The new bus station is smaller than its predecessor, and has seen various routes in and out of the city changed to accommodate the location of the new bus station. The bus station features a sheltered waiting area, Spar shop, cafe and toilets, is covered by CCTV, and has digital timetables showing information on travel times for the day, as well as Now/Next above the entrance to each bay. Access to the station is controlled by automatic doors, at both the pedestrian entrance and coach bays.

The new bus station links Hanley with towns in North Staffordshire, as well as Buxton, Crewe and Stafford. Most services are run by First Potteries, though there are a number of smaller independent operators, such as Wardle Transport, BakerBus, and Arriva Midlands. In addition, National Express Coaches connect Hanley with destinations including London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, with additional seasonal services to holiday destinations. As part of the redevelopment of the town and wider city, a new bus interchange will be built on John Street, allowing the current station to be demolished to make room for further redevelopment of the town.

Hanley no longer has a railway station but there was once one located on Trinity Street, on the Potteries Loop Line, which was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway for passengers on 13 July 1864. The station survived for 100 years – it was closed in 1964, as part of the Beeching Axe, and the land is now a car park.

Hanley also offers several cultural facilities such as the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery (a large ceramics collection, and restored Spitfire), the Victoria Hall, the Regent Theatre, BBC Radio Stoke's Open Centre and studios, while Piccadilly hosts the annual Sanity Fair and French Market events. Hanley is also the location of Stoke Pride, an annual pride event for LGBT people of the city.

( Hanley - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Hanley . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Hanley - UK
