Places to see in ( Warminster - UK )
Warminster is a town and civil parish in western Wiltshire, England, by-passed by the A36 and the partly concurrent A350 between Westbury and Blandford Forum. The River Were runs through the town and can be seen running through the middle of the town park. The Minster Church of St Denys sits on the River Were. The name Warminster first occurs in the early 10th century.
Warminster is located in south-west Wiltshire, near to the Somerset border. The town is surrounded by six hills, providing shelter and security for early settlers. The area is made up of chalk, which provides good drainage to the nearby River Wylye, providing plenty of arable and pasturable land near to the village. The Wylye is a tributary of the River Avon. Warminster is also close to Selwood Forest.
As Warminster is in an area of fertile land, much of its early economy was through farming, especially corn. William Daniell commented in 1879 that Warminster lay 'in the midst of a fine corn-country', and Warminster's market provided the backbone of the economy through the 16th to 19th centuries. Warminster's clothing trade suffered greatly in the early 19th century, as there was no suitable river to power machinery during a period of industrialisation.
Warminster has a number of local venues which facilitate cultural events for the community. This includes a library, museum, five theatres and cinemas, eleven halls and a number of pubs. There are many festivals and events held annually within the area including Warminster festival, Vintage bus run and heritage open days. Warminster is twinned with Flers in France.
Close by to Warminster is stately home Longleat, which has included Longleat Safari Park since 1966; the first drive-through safari park outside Africa, home to over 500 animals, including giraffe, monkeys, rhino, lion, tigers and wolves. The town includes a theatre, the Warminster Athenaeum, an 1858 Grade II listed building. The Warminster Lake Pleasure Grounds were laid out in 1924 and facilities include tennis courts, play area and boating lake. They were officially opened by the Marquess of Bath on Saturday 26 July 1924.
The east of the town is situated along the A36 road and the Warminster service station is on the route. The Warminster railway station, opened in September 1851, is managed by Great Western Railway

WBBM Channel 2 - A Merry Olde Christmas (Part 2, 1984)
Here's Part 2 of A Merry Olde Christmas, a look at Christmas celebrations in and around London, England that was hosted by Bob Wallace and aired on WBBM Channel 2. From the original master tape. Includes:
We now return to A Merry Olde Christmas bumper (voiceover by ??)
Shots of double-decker buses passing by London streets, traffic travelling on two-way streets whose directions are the reverse of U.S. streets, police bobbies, pigeons in Hyde Park and a pageant parade in and around Buckingham Palace which represent London for most of the year.
This leads to shots of various London churches ringing Christmas bells, Bob walking the streets among the crowd, Christmas displays and children looking at the various toys inside the windows.
Various children are interviewed about their favorite aspects of Christmas, and their answers range from getting off school to getting presents (notice one interviewee wanting a Cabbage Patch Doll). Another child is asked about his favorite Christmas memories.
More shots of window displays of Christmas toys (including what appears to be a replication of a scene from the Disney cartoon 101 Dalmations), local department stores, crowds of people on the streets, children transfixed by the window displays, and street vendors (or grafters) selling sheets of wrapping paper.
Bob at the Covent Garden marketplace, where various festivities from Henry Birch's Christmas Fun Fair (Opens 7th-23rd Dec. - Daily 11am-10pm) are shown including a ride resembling a smaller Ferris wheel, a merry-go-round, Christmas balloons, flower displays (upon which Bob cites the My Fair Lady story and the Eliza Doolittle character's Covent Garden base), and old-fashioned handmade wooden toys. One fairgoer explains the appeal of such toys (they last for years) as opposed to the more modern battery-operated variety. Bob samples hot chestnuts that are sold. A Punch-and-Judy puppet show which enchants children closes out this segment.
Next is a segment from Harrod's, England's most famous department store, which is lit for the holidays with 11,000 light bulbs (or was then; these days, they're probably LED's ;-) ). Scenes from among the three giant rooms of their Toy Kingdom are shown, including Bob next to a rocking horse whose size is roughly the same as the real variety; then we see him sampling the marbles that are sold, showing us a small gasoline-powered Volkswagen convertible with its own caravan (the British terminology for what he called a camping trailer, and which these days would be called a recreational vehicle or RV), a TV screen showing Thomas the Tank Engine which, in toy form, will be below many a Christmas tree (funny to think of Thomas as only being a British phenomenon), and a department-store Santa Claus (with a British accent, and called Father Christmas) meeting and greeting children.
Then we go to Dunn's Bake Shop where Christmas puddings and cakes, chocolate Santas, and other goodies are sold, with Bob perusing them all. Scenes of such mouth-watering delicacies being made in the kitchen are shown, including the making of a Christmas cake with flaked almonds and of Father Christmas mince pies with raisins, sugar, brandy, beef suet, lemons and other assorted fruits, and Bob interviewing the respective chefs who make each of these treats. In the course of this, Bob explains the history of mince pies and the Christmas holiday traditions associated therewith.
Bob then segues to the preparations of Christmas turkey (courtesy of Norfolk farms) for serving at many a dinner table (with brief references to pheasant and goose). One of the turkey preparers is interviewed.
This leads into a shot of people dressed in 19th-century attire of the time of Charles Dickens, going off in a horse-drawn carriage at night from Dickens' old home to a local church where a performance of his A Christmas Carol is given.
We'll return to our program after these messages bumper (voiceover by ??)
This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, December 22nd 1984 during the 6:30pm to 7pm timeframe.
About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,000+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:

Ancient textiles get new lease of life in Florence
Established in the 16th century by the powerful Medici family, the Semi-precious Stone Factory in Florence is one of the oldest institutes devoted to the preservation and restoration of art works.
Its new exhibition =='From the Pharaoh's Egypt to the Samurai's Japan'== takes visitors on a journey through space and time.
Restoration is a time-consuming task that requires a lot of patience, says conservationist Elisa Bracaloni: Textiles are everyday items. They are subject to a complex process...
