Early 80s TV and VCR in the 1985 Row House. This photograph was taken in the Museum of Welsh Life/ The last Rhyd-y-car house has been furnished as it could have been in 1985. The Museum has adopted the all-too common scenario of a middle-aged couple where the man has been made redundant, and the redundancy payment has been used to improve their home. Grant-aid would have enabled them to re-roof the house with the concrete tiles which are literally changing the colour of the valleys, but here metal windows, plastic rainwater pipes and new doors have transformed the outside while the inside has been totally re-decorated and re-furnished within the constraints imposed by the old fabric.

This photograph was taken at the Museum of Welsh Life. This is the interior of a large shed situated in the garden of the fifth Rhyd-y-car cottage. The cottage and shed are furnished as they would have appeared in 1955. Sheds such as these were typical of the area and were used as a living- and work-room allowing the room in the house to be kept as best. Most of the older men were still employed as coal-miners, but young couples, as envisaged here, were beginnng to work in factories such as Hoover.

This photograph was taken at the Museum of Welsh Life. The tollhouse was built in 1772 and originally stood at Penparcau, near Aberystwyth. It consists of a single room as seen in this photograph, one end being used for the collection of tolls and a single fireplace at the opposite end for heating and cooking. The house has been furnished to around the year 1843, the period of the Rebecca Riots when many tollgates were destroyed. Text from: www.gtj.org.uk/item.php?lang=en&id=27203&t=1

Esgair Moel, an 18th-century woollen mill, originally stood at Llanwrtyd, Breconshire, but was re-erected at the Welsh Folk Museum (now the Museum of Welsh Life), in the early 1950s. Text from: www.gtj.org.uk/item.php?lang=en&id=23000&t=1

The Antechamber of the Sala del Maggior Consiglio Francesco Guardi (Italian, Venice 1712–1793 Venice) Date: ca. 1755–65 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 13 3/8 x 20 in. (34 x 50.8 cm) Classification: Paintings Credit Line: Bequest of Lore Heinemann, in memory of her husband, Dr. Rudolf J. Heinemann, 1996 Accession Number: 1997.117.4 Catalogue Entry: The Venetian views and imaginary lagoon subjects for which Francesco Guardi is justly famous have for long been well represented in the Metropolitan Museum. The artist also painted a few interiors, which are of a sort more commonly associated with his near-contemporary Pietro Longhi (1702–1785), by whom he was probably influenced. This small picture is one of a pair (see also 1997.117.5) and both are exceptionally scenographic and informative about Venetian public life. The Sala del Maggior Consiglio at Palazzo Ducale is the largest public space in Venice and one of the largest in western Europe. There, hundreds of the the roughly 2,000 members of the aristocracy eligible to participate in the government of the republic met in assembly. The antechamber shown in the present small painting is the Liagò, an L-shaped room whose long side runs beside the council chamber and whose short side, with two huge Gothic windows, fronts on St. Mark’s basin. The room, with its marble door frames and high beamed and painted ceiling, is little changed and can still be visited. Guardi telescoped the space but otherwise represented it accurately. Long robes and flowing wigs designate public officials, while petitioners and other visitors are in street dress, some with swords, and wearing white silk stockings, black hair ribbons, and black tricorne hats. The composition exists in a larger version (private collection), with some differences in the dress and scale of the figures [see Ref. Morassi 1973, vol. 1, p. 353, no. 238; vol. 2, figs. 260–61]. The larger version is also signed, on the base of the column at left, and may be earlier in date, perhaps from the 1750s.[2011] Gallery Label: A pendant to The Ridotto, this view shows Venetian officials and petitioners outside the principal council chamber of the Palazzo Ducale. The space has been telescoped but otherwise is accurately depicted. The painting, which is signed, may date from about 1765. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/1100...

The most charming Churches in Taormina in Gothic style and with Arabic influence: Duomo-Cathedral (Church of San Nicola) – this was built around 1400 on the ruins of an ancient church. The Gothic style makes the Cathedral looks similar to a fortress. The structure is a Latin cross with a nave and two aisles. The ceiling has wooden beams that are carved in Arabic style.

St. Catherine’s church The exact construction date of this church, consecrated to St. Catherine of Alexandria in Egypt and located in the centre of the city opposite Palazzo Corvaja, is not known. It is thought to date back to 1663, the year engraved on the tablet of the ossuary found outside the church and now located in the wall beside the staircase which leads to the crypt. The entrance door to the sacresty is on the justify of the portal; the sacresty is thought to have been built before the Church, i.e. during the 16th century. The facade of the sacresty is decorated with two small windows ornated with sea shells, the same decoration used on the architrave of its door. text from: www.gate2taormina.com/taormina_en.htm

Round Swamp Road Old Bethpage, NY 11804 Old Bethpage Village Restoration provides visitors with a unique and wonderful opportunity to step back in time and experience life in a recreated mid-19th-century American village. The 209-acre village includes an assortment of homes, farms and businesses. Each October, the village hosts the Long Island Fair, a traditional county agricultural fair that draws tens of thousands of visitors, and through most of the year has a steady series of family-friendly events and exhibits, including old-time baseball tournaments. Old Bethpage Village Restoration came into existence in 1963, when Nassau County acquired the Powell property, a 165-acre farm located on the Nassau-Suffolk border. The acquisition of the land and the plan to develop a historic restoration were timely, as development on Long Island had taken its toll on the area's landmarks. In 1963, Plainview's historic Manetto Hill Methodist Church was the first structure to be saved and moved to the Powell property. Today, there are 51 historic buildings and seven reconstructions and the site encompasses 209 acres. Buildings are selected based on their architectural detail and historic significance. The goal is to establish a representative sampling of 19th-century structures. After buildings have been moved to the village, they are carefully restored to a specific point in their history, and the lives of the former occupants are thoroughly researched. Each structure is scrutinized for clues to its role in community life, and authentic hardware, shingles and glass sought - with the help of wills, deeds, and inventory lists - so the structures can beauthentically furnished ( in some cases with pieces original to the building). But the roots of Old Bethpage Village date back even further than the 19th century to the Dutch and English settlement of Long Island. During the 1640s, the colonial settlers in this area founded town "spots" that functioned as commercial and social centers where taverns, general stores and meeting houses were built. In addition to a centrally located town lot, each townsman received outlying fields to use for grazing livestock, growing crops, or harvesting firewood. By 1700, when the English had gained control of Long Island, townships controlled whatever land had not already been distributed, and the economy had expanded to include trades dependent on the sea as well as the land. Life remained quiet, unhurried and closely tied to nature. These patterns, evident well well into the 19th century, can be seen at Old Bethpage Restoration.
