The House Of The Importance Of The North York Moors

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall contains one of the earliest examples of marital abuse written in the Victorian Era. It prominently displays women being abused, separated from society and their subsequent solitude. The author, Anne Brontë, did not shy away from certain ‘taboo’ topics, like alcohol abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault and has been criticised for it, even by her own sister Charlotte. Domestic violence has been around for many years and yet it was, and still is, treated as a forbidden subject that should be handled quietly and without causing a commotion. Anne Brontë does not ignore these issues. She gives a clear look at how someone can change overtime and how the effects of alcohol are not to be taken lightly. The Tenant

Canadian hospital ship, HMHS Llandovery Castle sunk on the evening of June 27, 1918 near the coast of Ireland.

Similarly, the peaks of Quinag rise high above the area at up to 808m. As the area is in Scotland, and therefore high latitudes, it was likely to have been affected greatly by the ice ages that have occurred throughout history, especially in the quaternary. It is these events that have mostly shaped the landscape that we see today, creating glacial till deposits and U-shaped valleys that can be seen throughout the majority of northern Great

The Bayeux Tapestry is 230 feet (70 meters) long and 20 inches (50 cm) wide. The Bayeux Tapestry depicts the story of the Norman conquest of England in the year of 1066 C.E. The story shows that on the year 1066 C.E. a struggle for the throne of England between William the Duke of Normandy and Harold the Earl of Wessex which ultimate leads to the invasion of the Normans and the ascension of the first Norman King of England The Bayeux Tapestry is displayed in Bayeux, in Normandy France. Due to the fact that the tapestry was made within a generation of the defeat of the Anglo-Saxons by the Normans, it is considered to be an accurate representation of events. Not much is known about the origins of the Tapestry. The Bayeux Tapestry consists of

The location chosen for study is The River Stinchar and its tributaries which are located in South Ayrshire and flow south west from the Galloway Forest Park and were chosen due to a previous visit to the area. The location can be seen in figure 1.

From here the whole valley could be seen and it was easily observed where the glaciers cut into the valley. The second site was a field across from the street from the mudboil. This site was underneath where the slide happened. It used to be farm land, but since the slide the soil has not been able to support anything but invasive species. Additionally, there are now standing pools of salt water in the field that were not there before. Walking through the field the high sulfur content can easily be smelled, which is a result of the slide. The valley face now has a steep grade that was left there after the loss of soil from the slide. The third site was the Onondaga Creek. The creek is extremely turbid due to a high amount of sediment carried by the water. This sediment is lacustrine material, mostly clay, and gets deposited further downstream. The fourth site was a view of the alluvial fan. This is a cone shaped fan that spreads out water and debris. It gives an idea of where the water and soil were forced to go during the slide. The final site was the mudboil and its connection to the Onondaga Creek. Walking into the mudboil there are recessional rings, which are evidence of material slipping and causing an increase in pressure. There is some moving water, but it is from a lateral source. The mudboil itself is formed by a vertical poll of water. The ground in the mudboil looks solid but is actually soft and unsupportive. If there was a need to release pressure there would have been a small eruption of water in the mudboil. The water coming out would contain sediments and drains towards the

From the internecine feud between the characters in The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne by Ann Radcliffe, to the more recent love triangle in the Twilight franchise by Stephenie Meyer, Gothic literature has now been around for a couple of centuries to entertain its readers with tales of mystery and darkness, of romance and passion between a woman and her enigmatic lover

There are about 22 miles of  hiking and biking trails at all levels of difficulty. The White Tank Mountains Park does not have a trail to the top, and they discourage people from ‘visiting the towers’ with mild threats that it is patrolled by law enforcement. Horseback and mountain bike riders are welcomed, although caution is stressed as some of the trails may be extremely

Starting from the attractive village of Welburn this walk undertakes a circuit of the Castle Howard Estate. The scenery is stunning with beautiful parkland, ancient woodland and inspiring monuments to savour.

Another good example of Romanesque art is the Bayeux Tapestry, an embroiled cloth with 230 feet long and 20 inches tall. The art represent the events of Norman Conquest of England concerning William, the Duke of Normandy and Harold, the king of England. The segment of the Bayeux Tapestry illustrated Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, rallying Duke William's soldiers during the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The figures and decoration are embroidered, on a background left plain, which shows the subject very clearly and was necessary to cover large areas (Getlein, 2016, p. 387). Bayeux tapestry was made by nuns who embroidered scenes from the Norman invasion and the Battle of Hastings on eight linen panels which were then sewn together. They also used colored

The Lyke Wake Walk is a 40-mile (64km) challenge walk across the North York Moors from Scarth Wood Moor, near Osmotherley to the coast at Ravenscar. The completion time for the challenge is twenty-four hours.

Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the son of two poor touring actors, Elizabeth Arnold Poe and David Poe Jr. The Poes traveled around to many different theaters, playing many different roles. While his mother was a well-known actor, his father was not, and was usually drunk during performances. David Poe abandoned his family when Edgar was about two and the rest of the Poe family left for Richmond, Virginia. Edgar’s mother died of tuberculosis there in Richmond. Edgar was only three at the time but apparently he remembered the traumatizing event later in life.

I would least like to suffer from a mental disorder in the 18th-century pre- reformation when the business of asylums was just that, a business. The notion of warehousing people away from public view behind closed doors seems worse than having a priest anointing and purporting to cast demons from me. I can imagine choosing trephination to the desolation of being lost in a place forsaken by society. I am torn as to which time period I would most like to be in. The period of reformation was filled with an openness to creative solutions and in a way a very holistic approach. The modern era for all it's professionalism, methodology, and pharmacology still leaves me wondering if we have moved forward at all in our view that mental illness and psychological

Using the same rural road bridge above the Dundas Subdivision that produced the cover photograph in the month of June, I returned in the middle of September, this time with a 400mm mounted up and hoped that the curve in the background would be lit as I was aware that it is open on the north side near there, while the foreground would be in shade from the trees and brush along the verges of the right of way.

Today we make our way to the coast at Saltburn. The route visits Captain Cook’s Monument on Easby Moor and Roseberry Topping – ‘Yorkshire’s Matterhorn’. The trail continues into Guisborough Woods, where we leave the moors behind. At Highcliffe Nab there are spectacular views over Guisborough and, on a clear day, the North Sea is visible.
