Abandoned Welsh bungalow With Antique Stuff Left Behind - Urbex Explore Derelict Location
A step back in time to a lovely abandoned local bungalow. Sadly the former owners have now past and there is no remaining family to take over the property. The shirts are stilling hanging in the wardrobe and personal photographs sadly still in draws. I've visited thousands of locations over the past 8 years... some touch you and some don't, this one did though.
HD Gwrych Castle Abergele North Wales Drone Footage Aug 2017
A simple short video that shows the amazing site that is Gwrych Castle in Abergele North Wales , this footage was taken whilst on holiday there Aug 2017
Some info about the castle :-
Gwrych Castle was erected between 1819 and 1825 at the behest of Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh, grandfather of Winifred Cochrane, Countess of Dundonald. From 1894 until 1924, when the Countess died, it was the residence of the Dundonald family. The Countess left the castle in her will to King George V and the then Prince of Wales (who later became King Edward VIII). However, the gift was refused and the castle passed to the Venerable Order of Saint John. In 1928, Douglas Cochrane, 12th Earl of Dundonald, purchased the castle for £78,000, selling the contents to meet the cost.
During World War II, the Government used the castle to house 200 Jewish refugees run by the Jewish Zionist youth movement Bnei Akiva.Following the war, the castle left the Dundonald family and was open to the public for twenty years. It was called The Showpiece of Wales at this time, and attracted many visitors.[4] It was also used as a training venue for the English World Middleweight boxing champion Randolph Turpin in the early 1950s. In the early 60s it was an occasional venue for the famous motorcycle Dragon Rally and in the 70s it was used as a centre for medieval re-enactments, attracting tourists with such events as jousting and mock banquets.[citation needed] One such occasional use was the holding of the British Youth Festival's event for left-wing youngsters and students in the summer of 1961. Organised principally by members of the Lancashire branch of the Young Communist League, the ten-day event was notable not only for the attendance and performance of Robin Hall and Jimmy McGregor, but also for the swarm of journalists, led by the now-defunct News of the World.
The castle was last open to the public in 1985. Thereafter, it started to decline.[2] It was bought in 1989 by Nick Tavaglione, an American businessman, for £750,000. However, his plans to renovate the building were not carried out. As a result, the castle was extensively looted and vandalised, becoming little more than a derelict shell, although it was used in 1996 as the backdrop for Prince Valiant, a film starring Edward Fox, Joanna Lumley and Katherine Heigl.
During the period of Tavaglione's ownership, historian Mark Baker campaigned for the castle to be brought back to its days of glory—a campaign that he started when he was twelve years old. Baker was instrumental in forming the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust, dedicated to ensuring the castle's future. The condition of the property was monitored by the Trust, who lobbied Conwy council to compulsorily purchase the property, eventually placing enough pressure on the American owner, who put it up for sale in March 2006.
City Services Ltd, trading as Clayton Homes and Clayton Hotels, bought the castle in January 2007 for £850,000, after it failed to reach its £1.5m reserve price at the 2 June 2006 auction. On 30 April 2007, Clayton Hotels announced a 3-year project, costing £6,000,000, to renovate the castle and convert it into a 90-bedroom 5-star hotel, creating 100 jobs. The project was subject to planning permission, but had the support of the Trust.] Clayton Hotels spent about half a million pounds on its plans, clearing the site and rebuilding areas.[7] After Clayton Hotels was placed in administration, new developers obtained fresh planning permission in November 2012 from Conwy County Borough Council for the castle to be converted into a luxury hotel with 75 bedrooms and associated facilities

Queen Royal - You can buy Princess Margaret’s marital home for just £375k – but there’s a catch
Plas Dinas Country House, nestled deep within the Welsh countryside, was home to Princess Margaret and her husband Lord Snowdon in the early years of their marriage in the Sixties when they were one of the most famous couples in the UK. They raised their two children - Viscount Linley and Lady Sarah Armstrong Jones in the 17th century mansion, and it continued to be a weekend retreat for the couple during their 18 years of marriage. But in the years that followed since the demise of Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon’s marriage, the home, in Bontnewydd, near Caernarfon in North Wales, has been turned into a 5 star country house. The 15 acre estate located between the Snowdonia mountains and the Irish Sea, boasts 10 ensuite bedroom, a drawing room, The Gun Room restaurant and a further dining room. A spokesman for commercial agent Christie & Co, the company in charge of marketing the property, said: This five star award winning country house hotel is steeped in history and is part of the Armstrong-Jones family estate, where in 1960 Antony Armstrong-Jones married HRH Princess Margaret.Plas Dinas still retains many family portraits, memorabilia and original furniture.The mansion is on the market for £375,00 including a rental fee of £34,450 per year - but there is a catch.The £375,00 fee will only grant the home owner a 23 year lease on the property. According to the most recent trading information, the Plas Dinas Country House made £433,484 in the year ending December 2017, with a gross profit of £332,118 and an operating profit of £46,560. Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon, who is known as Antony Armstrong-Jones, married in 1960, and Lord Snowdon became the first commoner to marry into the Royal Family.The couple had a tumultuous relationship, which was reportedly accompanied by regular partying and extra-marital affairs, in a series revealing the royals' marriage.A BBC documentary, Princess Margaret: The Rebel Royal, which aired last year revealed Princess Margaret's isolated life during the breakdown of her marriage to Lord Snowdon. Speaking about Lord Snowdon, Jane Stevens, a close friend of the Princess Margaret, said: “Tony stopped going with her on any of her public engagements, and after a while she realised he wasn’t going to, so she did all her pubic things on her own.“It was naughty in a way because he married Princess Margaret, and therefore knowing who he was marrying, he should have helped her, but he didn’t.“He stuck with the job he had, which had nothing to do with the Royal Family, and that was hard for her.”The Royal couple separated in 1976 after 16 years of marriage, and divorced two years later in 1978.

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
=======
A bus (contracted from omnibus, with variants multibus, motorbus, autobus, etc.) is a road vehicle designed to carry many passengers. Buses can have a capacity as high as 300 passengers. The most common type of bus is the single-deck rigid bus, with larger loads carried by double-decker and articulated buses, and smaller loads carried by midibuses and minibuses while coaches are used for longer-distance services. Many types of buses, such as city transit buses and inter-city coaches, charge a fare. Other types, such as elementary or secondary school buses or shuttle buses within a post-secondary education campus do not charge a fare. In many jurisdictions, bus drivers require a special licence above and beyond a regular driver's licence.
Buses may be used for scheduled bus transport, scheduled coach transport, school transport, private hire, or tourism; promotional buses may be used for political campaigns and others are privately operated for a wide range of purposes, including rock and pop band tour vehicles.
Horse-drawn buses were used from the 1820s, followed by steam buses in the 1830s, and electric trolleybuses in 1882. The first internal combustion engine buses, or motor buses, were used in 1895. Recently, interest has been growing in hybrid electric buses, fuel cell buses, and electric buses, as well as buses powered by compressed natural gas or biodiesel. As of the 2010s, bus manufacturing is increasingly globalised, with the same designs appearing around the world.
