Barnsley and District Tramway
The Barnsley and District Electric Traction Co. was an electric tramway network serving the town of Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
The company was a subsidiary of British Electric Traction, and services began on 31 October 1902. In early 1898, three companies had applied for local tramway systems; the Barnsley Corporation applied in 1900 for a larger network than it finally built. In 1913, the company began to run motor buses to Hoyland and other points. "Electric" was dropped from the company name in 1919. The Barnsley company changed its name to Yorkshire Traction Co. (YTC) in 1928 and abandoned tramway operation in 1930.
Excluding Oxford and Bristol, YTC is the largest bus operator to have originated from a tramway company in England.
River Blyth, Northumberland
The River Blyth flows eastwards through southern Northumberland into the North Sea at the town of Blyth. It flows through Plessey Woods Country Park. The River Pont is a tributary. The Blyth is 27 miles (44 km) long and the Pont is 17 miles (28 km).
The tidal limit of the river is at Bebside. The estuary widens from this point eastwards and with the addition of a burn that enters on the northern side (Sleek Burn), it covers an area of 415 acres (168 hectares).
Ecologists have suggested that a dam on the river at Humford Country Park in Bedlington could be removed to allow for fish migration. The local community have expressed a desire to keep the dam as it is a local beauty spot; they have suggested that a fish passage be built alongside instead.

The company generally stages adaptations of classic opera and theatre, with the most successful serial production thus far being Don Giovanni, which uses period costume and has a run of over 6500. There are shows nearly every evening. Due to the popularity of the production and the steady demand from the tourist market, additional companies have recently been developed in the area, in some cases trading on their similarity to the original NDM.
46 High Street, Nantwich
46 High Street is a timber-framed, black-and-white Elizabethan merchant's house in Nantwich, Cheshire, England, located near the town square at the corner of High Street and Castle Street.

On the interior, a first-floor room retains panelling and decorative plasterwork dating from the early 17th century. The building is listed at grade II*.
