Darlington is a large market town in County Durham, in North East England, and part of the Tees Valley. Darlington lies on the River Skerne, a tributary of the River Tees.
Darlington owes much of its development to the influence of local Quaker families in the Georgian and Victorian era, and who provided much of the finance and vision in creating the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the world's first steam locomotive powered, permanent passenger railway. The town of Darlington is often colloquially referred to as 'Darlo'.
Darlington is located in south Durham close to the River Tees which acts as the border between Durham and Yorkshire. Both the River Tees and River Skerne pass through the town, the River Skerne later joining the River Tees which then flows through Teesside and into the North Sea. Darlington railway station lies on the East Coast Main Line. There are also local services from the historic North Road railway station and associated Darlington Railway Centre and Museum. Neighbouring towns include Newton Aycliffe, Stockton and Bishop Auckland.
There are several suburbs of Darlington. In the north are Harrowgate Hill, Harrowgate Village, Coatham Mundeville and Beaumont Hill and to the north-east are Whinfield and Haughton Le Skerne. To the east is the suburb of Eastbourne and Red Hall with Firthmoor and Skerne Park to the south. Situated in the west end are Hummersknott, Mowden and Blackwell. Finally, to the north-west are Branksome, Cockerton, Faverdale, The Denes, West Park, High Grange and Pierremont.

York Gate Garden. Yorkshire, England
My first video of York Gate was blocked in Germany so I have now put Kevin MacLeod’s Royalty Free Music to it in the hope that my followers and subscribers in Germany can view it.
The Spencer family, Sybil and her husband Frederick bought the property in1951 when their son, Robin was 17. It was at that time a farm, but they soon started to create a garden. When Frederick died 1963 it was Robin who went on to develop it into rooms that you see today with his mother’s knowledge of plants. Sadly Robin died in1982 at the age of 47. Sybil cherished the garden, adding to the plant collection. She died in 1994 and it was her wish it was to pass to the “Perennial” Gardener’s Royal Benevolent Society who now maintain this special garden. Hope you like it. Suitable for Children and Family viewing

Hull Guildhall Clock
A look at Hull Guildhall Clock on Sunday 15th June 2014.
The original clock was designed and installed in the original Town Hall by Barnard Cooke in 1865 as a time piece and hour strike only. It included an hour bell weighing 2.5 tons and is one of the only currently functioning original mechanical tower clocks in the country.
When the new Guildhall tower was constructed in 1914 the clock was transferred and enlarged to include quarter hour chimes and four new quarter bells were added to blend in with the hour bell.
In 2004, to mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of a contract with Quibells to construct the new Guildhall, a 23-bell carillon was added to the bell tower.

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
=======
This is a list of heritage, private and preserved railways throughout the United Kingdom and the Crown dependencies whether operational or former, for charitable purposes or shareholder profit. Some also provide a local economic transport purpose. For rail museums, see List of British railway museums.
Many of the standard-gauge railways listed (thus including former branch lines and ex-mainline routes) were closed by British Railways (later shortened to British Rail) under the Beeching Axe of the 1960s. Others later or earlier closed. All ceased their public financing with up-to-date rolling stock and often avoided electrification and electronic signals to be restored and operated as heritage lines. A smaller number of lines were formerly both industrial and colliery railways.
Many of these preserved railways and railway centres such as stations, engineering workshops and collections of old locomotives are mentioned in national and international tour guides, and visits may form part of a school curriculum and centres of other studies including in civil engineering, mechanics, social, economic and political history, visual arts and drama.
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
The Picture of Dorian Gray is the only published novel by Oscar Wilde. The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian's beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, and becomes enthralled by Lord Henry's world view. Espousing a new hedonism, Lord Henry suggests the only things worth pursuing in life are beauty and fulfillment of the senses. Realizing that one day his beauty will fade, Dorian (whimsically) expresses a desire to sell his soul to ensure the portrait Basil has painted would age rather than himself. Dorian's wish is fulfilled, plunging him into debauched acts. The portrait serves as a reminder of the effect each act has upon his soul, with each sin displayed as a disfigurement of his form, or through a sign of aging. The Picture of Dorian Gray is considered a work of classic gothic fiction with a strong Faustian theme.
