The arrival of the Welsh online resource for scheduled ancient monuments means that we can now see what is scheduled and what is not in England, Scotland and Wales. The new Cadw website shows us which parts of Wales are scheduled and provides some information together with reasons for the decision. Access to the various monuments is via an easy to use zoomable map and within a couple of clicks the information is available.
Compared to the Scottish and English sites the amount of information is very limited and a love of the copy and paste facility has unfortunate consequences.
Most worrying, however, is the phrase used to introduce each monument. In almost every instance the text starts "The monument consists of…". This is a potentially dangerous choice of words as it implies that any archaeological features not mentioned in the text are not included within the scheduling. Elsewhere in Britain the term "includes" is used and therefore ensures protection of any overlooked elements. This may seem pedantic but the effect maybe to seriously undermine the purpose of the legislation designed to protect our archaeology.
A second point of concern is the uncertain tone expressed in the documentation. Caveats abound in the descriptive text with for example the words probable and probably liberally scattered around. Whilst we all accept that uncertainty comes with the archaeological territory, these are primarily legal documents written to ensure the protection and management of important archaeological sites. In this context it is surely unhelpful to emphasise the uncertainties. After all a landowner reading that a pile of stones of stone on their land is only probably a Bronze Age cairn might think that it would probably be OK to remove it or at the very least take less care of it. Indeed the Schedule of Ancient Monuments should only include those sites considered to be of national importance, so why the constant insistence on emphasising the uncertainty?
Compared to the Scottish and English contributions this web resource does not compare favourably. It feels like a rushed job designed to meet a target and the large numbers of typos betray a lack of attention to detail. But please do not take our word for it. Have a look for yourselves:
Côf Cymru – National Historic Assets of Wales
A short report of a visit earlier this year to the Tair Carn Isaf cairn cemetery in Carmarthenshire, by our very own Dr Sandy Gerrard.
On a spur on the western slopes of Tair Carn Isaf is a small cairn (SN 68063 16834) composed of "fresh" looking rubble. Examination of the surrounding heather indicates that it once extended a bit further, but compared to its neighbours it is rather inconspicuous and is probably overlooked by most visitors to the area. The neighbouring cairns are much larger and more prominently positioned on the nearby higher ground. What this cairn lacks in size is more than made up by its very special setting.
A very precise visual link to a neighbouring cairn together with another to a sea triangle are particularly noteworthy whilst the spectacular views of the Gower, Lundy, Caldey, St. Govan's Head and Preseli further enhance the atmosphere and contribute to the feeling that views were important to the people who built this cairn.
The sea view and more distant views will be considered in the future. This time, the very precise visual links between this cairn and another, Tair Carn Uchaf III (SN 69249 17378) are presented. For those who are sceptical about the importance or even the existence of visual links in Neolithic/Bronze Age studies, this example may help overcome these doubts. This cairn was carefully positioned to benefit from a multitude of visual treats at the limit of visibility and it is hard to believe that this could not have been deliberate. The very particular view of Tair Carn Uchaf III and the manner in which it alters dramatically as you move around the cairn are similar to those encountered at stone alignments and further emphasises the importance of special, particular and evolving visual links. Logic tells us that given the care taken to create these treats that these must have played some part in the beliefs of these people. The photographs below attempt to illustrate the phenomenon, but sadly cannot replace the on-site experience.
The precision and character of the visual link between the two cairns was identified by Simon Charlesworth who generously shared his discovery with me taking the time to show me what he had found. I am very grateful for his help and trust I have not misrepresented his ideas.
Sad news to report again, this time that the Maen Penddu standing stone in the Conwy Valley, North Wales, has been severely vandalised. Recent photos show several carvings have been made on the stone. The cross was reported last year, but the rest seems to be more recent. The damage has been reported to CADW.
Sue Brooke updates us on the latest threat to Caerau hillfort in Cardiff. This story was originally published on her own website.
Well, here I am again. Mrs Angry from Caerau has raised her ugly head once more. Over the last nine years or so I have bored everyone close to me to distraction about that triangular shaped field in Caerau. It's important. I used to spend hours wandering around up there trying to figure out what all the lumps and bumps were about. I researched it and learned loads about what it all meant. I kept the whole thing as quiet as possible from the public domain so that the area would remain protected due to it being preserved mostly in public record at that time. Eventually I started to share some of this locally, working with the children and young people of the local schools. This was primarily to keep the crumbling remains of St. Mary's Church as safe as possible.
Then along came Cardiff University. To be honest they were a little behind me in this research but, eventually and not without some fear I talked with them about it. They had lots of money that they were willing to invest in this area and they were able to engage with the public in far greater ways than me. Eventually this triangular shaped field of 'mine' was to be given a little bit of status as an Iron Age (at least) hill fort.
If you know about this then you will know that hot on their heels came Time Team. They came, they made a mess and a telly programme then they left. All stuff designed to give this little old lady in Caerau a little bit of the wobbles. I had massive reservations about all of this. I was accused of 'selling out' by allowing myself to become involved in this. Overall my fears were allayed and, although the area has been mucked about with by young ladies and young men digging holes, it has actually been really beneficial to the local communities of Ely and Caerau. Cardiff University formed the CAER Heritage Project and they worked their socks off in order to engage residents in the whole of their work. What Time Team did, on your 55 inch flat screen telly, was to tell the whole of Ely and Caerau what an amazingly valuable historical monument they lived alongside. Thank you for that.
The church of St Mary, long a victim of vandalism was now being looked after. There are people involved in this who have pursued Cardiff Council and persuaded them to help keep the remains of this historic building together. They have given up their time to tidy up the area, to log the graves and to generally give this church the respect it has so sadly been missing out on.
Overall the community has benefitted. The view from the hill fort is amazing when you look out towards Cardiff. The CAER Heritage Project believe this to be an area that would have been important to Cardiff itself. Of course, my endless research means I disagree with this – not entirely but my belief is and always has been that the hill fort would have been more better placed as part of what is now the Vale of Glamorgan and valued as such.
A few years ago changes began to happen. A solar park was to be built quite close to the site. It would be fine, we were reassured. This won't be visible from the hill fort and will not detract from the beautifully serene surrounds one bit, they said. Unfortunately the building of this solar park caused some major issues for those living on the approach road. Let's set this in to some kind of context. As you walk toward the track that leads from Caerau all the way to Michaelston le Pit you will need to walk underneath the A4232 Ely Link Road. Sadly, way back at the end of the 1970's this road was built by cutting around the hill fort site. It's no longer possible to walk up-and-over as we used to as kids, but hey, way back then we didn't really know any better, did we?
This bit of Caerau is such an excellent resource for the local people. It's usual to see dog walkers, horse riders, the footballing kids of the future and joggers all wandering along to make use of the area. Families wander through as well as groups of children and young people off to have fun on their own. I was one of these children once, having lived all my life nearby.
This lovely tree lined, although slightly narrow road, takes you from Caerau down toward the link road. The hill fort area is surrounded by beautifully managed woods, protected as a special area and inhabited by the most amazing birds and wildlife. Even slow worms like it in there. The homes along Heritage Drive, just off Cwrt yr Ala Road were built on the site of the old Caerau Isolation Hospital.
Sadly this was built within the banks and ditches of the Caerau hill fort. But hey, we didn't know any better then, did we?
As I just mentioned a solar park was planned. Renewable energy they said. Yes, a few solar panels in the field and most certainly not visible from the hill fort. They actually forgot to mention that the construction of this amazing solar park would mean driving lorries, very quickly, in a dust raising, dirty and frankly quite dangerous manner along Cwrt yr Ala Road. That lovely quiet tree lined but slightly narrow road in the image above. Most residents took this on the chin. It was good for the environment wasn't it, to get away from the smoking chimneys of the coal-fired power stations.
Everyone wants renewable sources of energy, don't they? I've since learned from a friend that should you have solar panels on farmland then it's wise that you keep animals out of the field as you can't really sell them on later or even, it is my understanding, use the field for agricultural purposes for some years after the panels have been removed. I could be wrong on this or hey, maybe I just don't know any better.
I was up at the hill fort only recently. It's still so lovely up there but obviously, since the trees are now without their leaves, it is possible to see the Ely Link Road. And, surprise surprise, you can see the solar farm.
Now, and this is the bit that is really making me rather very angry, I have learned – via social media – that we are now going to have – guess what ? OK, that's unfair, how could you know – I didn't – a LANDFILL SITE. Yes, that's correct. Now, this is not your black bag rubbish type tip, this is an 'inert waste' tip. What exactly does 'inert waste' mean? So, for the next 5 to 6 years up to 20 lorries, very quickly, in a dust raising, dirty and frankly quite dangerous manner will be driving along Cwrt yr Ala Road each day. That's up to 40 journeys along this lovely quiet tree lined but slightly narrow road.
I'm really pleased to be able to say that the local Labour Councillor for the area is doing his level best to stop this happening. Indeed the Welsh Lib Dem AM for South Wales Central and spokesperson on Enterprise, Transport, Europe and Business has assured me that she will 'look into it' but in the meantime the Vale of Glamorgan Council has, in their recent report on this completely outrageous planning application – available online and therefore well within the public domain – given me the opportunity to give you some quotes. In fairness I suggest you check this out for yourselves but, in the meantime here are a couple of my favourites:
The site is located in open countryside and within the Cwrt yr Ala Basin Special Landscape Area as defined within the Unitary Development Plan. The site also lies within the boundaries of the derelict mineral site, the former Ely Brickworks. In addition it is noted that the Caerau Wood hill fort, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, is located to the north of the site within the neighbouring Cardiff Council Local authority area.
In terms of impact upon Vale residents this would be very limited as there is no residential development, within the Vale, close to the proposed site. With regard to impact upon Cardiff residents, and any significant effect on the environment by virtue of the nature, size and location of the development this is a decision for the Local Planning Authority (LPA)
So, there you are then. To me that translates as – yes, we know it's an important area and we acknowledge this but let's quickly move on. The second quote means that there are of course housing developments nearby but, come on, they are in Cardiff, not the Vale of Glamorgan so that doesn't matter to us. In fact, just so you know and I may of course be pointing out the obvious here, there are many property websites used by estate agents and prospective buyers who will pick up on things like transport links, schools and, obviously, landfill sites. I'm not sure but I worry that the residents of the very beautiful vale village of Michaelston le Pit may find out that this may also affect them – just by being in quite close proximity to this tip site. In fact I spoke with an established and respected estate agent only this morning who advised me that although this may not actually bring down the price of a property nearby immediately it will certainly not improve it. The advice was to consult further with a surveyor. That's not really what I wanted to hear and I am sure that nearby residents won't be happy to hear the financial implications upon their hard earned mortgaged properties should they decide to sell.
I would suggest that there will be major concerns from Cardiff Council and their residents once this very well kept secret becomes public knowledge. I really hope so. The enjoyment of all to access the area from Cwrt yr Ala Road towards Michaelston le Pit will be impacted on, most certainly. The right of the Cwrt yr Ala residents to enjoy their homes will most certainly be negatively affected, I know this as I lived through the delight of the solar park development. The access to the hill fort and the 12th century church for community groups will be restricted and, perhaps the work to preserve the tower of the old church could be seriously undermined by these vehicles shaking the living daylights out of it. That would be such a shame for all those who clearly care so much about it. What about Caerau (Ely) AFC – their ethos of ' Working With the Ely Community, For the Ely Community ' could be seriously affected by safety issues. I'm sure it won't be safe to be toddling along there trying to dodge these vehicles for the next, what was it – 5 to 6 years?
So what can be done? I'm not too sure really. Perhaps we can suggest that the Vale of Glamorgan Council may want to consider other options for this 'inert waste' landfill site. Perhaps, let's just think a minute – the residents of Dinas Powys would be happy for it to be placed just a bit further over.
That other hill fort area known as Cwm George has plenty of room. I bet not many people use this – just a couple of walkers, now and then – and the Woodland Trust won't mind, surely? Or, perhaps, what about that stretch of beach adjacent to Sully Island? Hardly anyone goes there. The residents of Sully wouldn't even notice. Yes, I agree that these are areas of special interest and so very important to the residents but isn't Caerau of equal value?
There is just one little final quote that I will share with you. I visited Cosmeston Lakes Country Park today and went in to the little shop to buy a book on the history of this area. On the wall, right in front of me was this final quote from the Vale of Glamorgan Council. It read – and I quote 'A sad chapter in Cosmeston's history saw the quarry used for several years as a landfill site for household waste'. The little book I purchased for £4 completed this with 'Permission to tip household rubbish on the west side of Mile End Road was granted to Penarth Urban District Council in 1964 (with some waster tipping already underway several years before that).'
So, please tell me – does this mean that the Vale of Glamorgan Council recognise that they really DO know better?
Three years after it was written the report on the work carried out at the Bancbryn stone alignment has been released. You can see it for yourself here and a response to it here. Despite promises that only 10m of the alignment would be destroyed and that it would be treated as if it was prehistoric, this does not appear to have happened. Around 35m of the stone alignment was finally destroyed and of this only 5m was excavated, the rest being lost with no record being made at all as a result of a mix up regarding its course. As if this was not bad enough the report's conclusions are consistently contradicted by a catalogue of mistakes, exaggeration and the use of blatantly biased carefully selected information. Much has been made of the fact that the excavated stones were not associated with sockets, however in at least one photograph a large stone appears to sit within a cut and another one is on top of an unexcavated hollow.
The reasons for doubting the prehistoric interpretation are remarkable. Apparently the Bancbryn stone alignment can't be prehistoric because the stones are of variable size, small, embedded into the subsoil and the alignment itself is sinuous in form. So there we have it after years of waiting we have finally been told that it can't be prehistoric because …. well err…. it shares precisely the same characteristics as most of the scheduled stone alignments in the United Kingdom. This would be laughable if it was not so serious.
A guest post by Dr Sandy Gerrard
Over the past few years the sorry events at Bancbryn on Mynydd y Betws have featured frequently in the Heritage Journal. For some time now the local County Council have been asked to answer three simple questions. They have steadfastly refused to do so. If the job had been done properly they would not be difficult to answer, but sadly after months of asking the questions remain unanswered. The three questions were:
- Why was Cadw not consulted on the scheme of works used by the developers?
- Why did the scheme of works regarding the stone alignment fail to mention the site and instead refer to a Roman site in Gloucestershire?
- Why has no excavation report been produced?
Having failed to get answers from the council the Ombudsman was approached and their response might surprise you.
"The Ombudsman considers complaints of maladministration on the part of public bodies which causes hardship and injustice to members of the public. We normally take this to mean that an individual has suffered personal hardship or injustice as a result of the maladministration by the body. It does not appear to me, from the information available, that you have suffered personal hardship or injustice as a result of the matters you complain of. Therefore, the original matter you complain of is not one that the Ombudsman can consider under the restrictions imposed on him by law under the Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Act 2005."
So next time you uncover dodgy goings on at county hall remember unless you are going to personally suffer hardship or injustice they simply don't want to know and they would prefer it if you walk on by. You would have thought this country would have had enough of this type of attitude by now – but apparently not.
The modern archaeological industry is built upon the premise that sites selected for destruction should be recorded before they are destroyed. Following excavation the record is then deposited and the site is consequently "preserved by record". At Mynydd y Betws the Bancbryn stone alignment was promised such treatment. Sadly whilst the first part was apparently completed the second was not. Carmarthenshire County Council have over the years been repeatedly asked for a copy of the excavation report and whilst most of these requests went unheeded recently a response was received.
"I have not had sight of any such report as part of my investigations, although I do not consider that it has undermined the fact that works have been carried out with due diligence within the development site, and that the condition imposed on the planning consent, and the reason for it, has been discharged in a way that is, on balance, proportionate and pragmatic".
Basically they are saying that a report was not produced but this does not matter. What happens next time a developer says they will not fund the post-excavation. Carmarthenshire County Council have already set a dangerous precedent. For a site to be preserved by record there needs to be record otherwise the site has simply been destroyed and no amount of fine words will alter that fact.
To be clear a preliminary report was produced, but this included no photographs or drawings of the excavated areas. Instead photographs and drawings were limited to the areas beyond the excavation. How many modern excavation reports include only images of the areas beyond the area being investigated and none of the excavation itself?

The opportunities to be involved in the decision making process are apparently endless these days. Our opinions are sought on everything by both the private and public sectors. Sometimes we are simply asked what we think about a particular issue or perhaps how we intend to vote. The information collected is analysed and supposedly the results help to make life better for us all.
In the archaeological world sometimes a consultation is carried out to collect expert opinions on what something might be. This was the case at Bancbryn where the inept Cadw officers, perhaps hoping to shift the responsibility for deciding what "that line of stones" might be, decided to ask some "experts" what they thought. They duly sent out information on the alignment and asked the "experts" what they thought it might be. As is the Cadw way they were very selective with the information they sent, and withheld or "forgot" to send the paper which presented the prehistoric case.
Inevitably, given that the "experts" were only sent information that supported a historic context for the alignment they all responded saying they thought it must be of historic date. They helpfully all added a few comments which sadly suggested that they were rather less expert in this field than one might have hoped, as many of their remarks betrayed a total lack of knowledge of the resource being assessed.
As far as I can tell no one with any real expertise in stone alignments was consulted and certainly nobody was sent the information needed to carry out an objective, balanced and impartial assessment.
How would you feel if you turned up at hospital with a broken ankle to be seen by an eye consultant who had been given notes on another patient?
Tinkinswood burial chamber, in South Wales, was built nearly 6000 years ago. The capstone, at around 40 tons weighs almost as much as a fully-laden 18-wheeler articulated lorry! The basic design of the site classifies it as one of the Cotwold-Severn group of burial chambers.
It was first excavated in 1914 by John Ward, Keeper of Archaeology at the National Museum of Wales, when over 900 human bones were discovered – it is estimated these were the remains of between 40-50 people. The vast majority of the bones had been broken, but the mix of ages and sex suggests use of the site by the entire community over an extended period.
The Tinkinswood of today is very different to that prior to the excavation, as extensive 'restoration' work was carried out at that time:
- a brick-built supporting pillar was inserted into the chamber
- the courtyard supporting walls were rebuilt, using a distinctive, and not at all authentic, 'herringbone' pattern to the brickwork.
- the rectangular mound and external revetment wall have been trimmed and generally 'prettied up', allowing easier interpretation of the site by visitors.
- the entire site would have originally been covered by an earthen mound so that no stones other than the courtyard entrance would have been visible.
In 2011, a local community project undertook a further excavation to learn more about the monument and it's setting. Their project blog makes interesting reading for those interested in more information about this fascinating site!
Following on from her extended series of posts in 2013, and a visit last year, once again Sue Brooke has revisited Caerau hillfort in Cardiff, to report upon this year's activities there with a much more personal view.
Since 2007 I have been researching the local area around Caerau. You may recall that I discovered what was to be later confirmed as at least an Iron Age hillfort, right over my garden fence. Much to the amusement of family and friends I waxed lyrical about this field full of lumps and bumps, cow poo and bitey insects. Although not exactly 'preserved in public record' as they say, this was well hidden and completely forgotten about so I was desperately trying to keep it secret and therefore protected. Of course Time Team later came and showed it in all its wall mounted, 48 inch, HD screen beauty, then went away again.
CAER Heritage Project and Cardiff University have however been periodically running community digs and generally involving the local community in the work they have been carrying out over the last three years or so and local interest has been increased. Their website shows the work that has gone on, not only in the field but in local centres and schools. Now and then local press picks up the story and it even pops up on local news. The really lovely thing about this work is that it involves everyone who is interested. Groups of primary school children through to older people have all taken a real interest in the site and become involved at various levels.
Me? Well, I moved away from the area recently. It was really sad to leave my garden fence behind and I do miss the trees as well as the mystery of what they would tell me if they could speak. But, I'm not that far away so I am still involved in keeping a close eye on what is going on. I go to the community events up at the site and still spend time wandering around with my camera. I still research the local history there and am still turning up really interesting information about the people who lived in the area and how it links to other sites nearby as well as a little bit further away.
On the 4th of July the project held a Big Picnic. The original idea of this was to replicate the old Christian tradition of the Whitsun Treat which used to be held in the field at Pentecost. This is still fondly remembered by locals. I'm not sure if this is a Welsh thing but it involved local children being transported to various sites, clutching a spoon with their name taped to the handle and a bag of something that their mum or Nan (very important people are Welsh Nan's!) had made that they would share. It was about coming together and having fun.
As well as the Big Picnic there would be a parade today with stalls, face painting, information on finds and tours of the ongoing excavations. Now, my grandson is really 'into' history. He has recently visited Castell Henllys in Pembrokeshire and has, I am very proud to say, developed a really impressive (for an 11 year old) knowledge of Welsh early history. He asks questions, reads real books and takes it all in. He came with us with promises that I'd show him all the ditches and ramparts that had set my own imagination off and started this whole thing going for me in the first place. So, off we went.
A new brown heritage site arrow has appeared – pointing the way to the hill from the main road that runs through Caerau. Just in case you miss it there is another a little further on. This secret triangular shaped field of 'mine' is most certainly not such a secret any more.
There were quite a few cars parked at the entrance to the site and we were met by two lovely students who welcomed us on our way up. That walk up is getting steeper, I'm sure. I was a little surprised at the cars that were allowed up the lane, meaning I had to ensure we were safely out of the way – I tutted at one point, I admit – but at least it gave me a minute to stand and get my breath back. The view as you round the final bend never fails to impress me and I've been up there many, many times.
The entrance to the field was set up with the promised stalls and it was all very busy with a real sense of community. CAER's Olly Davies (beautifully face painted by Glamorgan and Gwent Archaeological Trust artists) and Dave Wyatt were in the middle of it all so it was nice to catch up. We were able to see some of the more recent finds. What is particularly nice is that it's possible to actually hold these in your hand, rather than peer at them through the glass of a museum case, although that's probably where they will find a home eventually. At least I hope so, rather than end up in a box on a shelf somewhere. The extremely knowledgeable and really friendly young women in charge there are able to tell you not just what you are holding but also where they were found, what the significance is and how they have made them look presentable. It was also good in that, for me, the star find from last year (the Neolithic flint arrow head) was also brought back home for the day.
A handout was provided to enable understanding of the objectives for this year, entitled 'Digging Caerau' – not exactly my most favourite phrase. Nonetheless, five areas of the field are being examined this year – four of which have been previously examined and re-opened for further investigation. One new area is being examined to 'explore what appears on the geophysics to be a boundary probably dating to the Roman period.' Guided tours were being given to small groups but we wandered off on our own to see what was going on. Well, it is my field, after all!
My biggest concern prior to the Time Team investigations was that my hillfort would be dug up. Mr Cadw Inspector reassured me that this would not happen. I've seen the finds that have come out of the ground, so to speak, and found them fascinating. From my grandsons perspective he was thrilled to wander around and to see postholes within the trench, confirming that this was an area that people had actually lived in. As you may know, for local historians like me the people are as important as the place. But, the site itself, for me, is losing its special character. It is changing, losing its 'feel' underfoot and the magic of the lumps and bumps is fading along with the brown scarring of the excavated trench areas.
Since Welsh Nan's are very important I had wandered off with the lad to show him how to interpret the various aspects of the site that had really grabbed my attention way back in 2007. But now, whilst the ramparts are still clearly visible one inner rampart now has a ditch cut through it. Please don't misunderstand; it's a really painstakingly created section from which the archaeologists are intending to gain dating evidence and environmental samples. But to me it's a whacking great chunk out of the rampart that really won't be the same once it's refilled.
This is really evident in the beautiful ditch that once swept across part of the site. You couldn't fail to see it and it was really easy to photograph. It looked like something special to me. Trouble is it looked like something special to Time Team and the other diggers too, so now it's gone. I've since looked back over some of my early writing and the phrase 'it's quite possible to see ditches and ramparts untouched' really jumps out. I wanted my grandson to experience that sense of standing in or on something special. Something that made a person curious and excited about what may have been there, who may have built it, why and when. To me that sense of excitement has gone now as not all of those lumps and bumps are there any more – I feel that is really quite sad.
I completely understand that archaeology is a science. Indeed, my own first degree is a Bachelor of Science (with honours, obviously!) but my science is more social, of ordinary people and of ordinary places. So whilst the archaeologists are looking down into mucky holes getting dirt under their fingernails I can be found looking through dusty old books, looking up and out and, quite often across. Both, whilst different perspectives, should complement each other in being able to tell the story of a place and understand the people who lived within it. But, and this is a big but, I don't think digging things up, taking them away and, as a result of this changing the really special characteristics of the site will benefit anyone in the end. Perhaps I just have an emotional attachment to this hillfort but to me it all feels really selfish.
Moving on…
All in all my grandson enjoyed his day. He was able to get an idea of the hillfort from the Lidar images and the visual representations on show, ask questions about how a roof was put on the roundhouses, look into trenches and to see the burial mounds clearly visible on the mountain opposite. He took photos and met with 'real' archaeologists. He was (reasonably) impressed with his Nan's knowledge and perhaps gained a different perspective of the site from that. I just have this nagging feeling that he would have enjoyed it quite a bit more if he could have felt what I did when I first went into that field. It was only eight years ago.
As we left Olly came to chat and asked what I was doing now – I explained I had moved house recently but that I had a found a new site of interest that I felt linked in to the Caerau site. His eyes lit up and he asked where, I told him to b*gger off, there is no way he is digging this one up…
Many thanks to Sue for this report of her day out to revisit an old favourite. Have you recently revisited a favourite site? Or are you planning to do so during this year's Festival of Archaeology? If so, why not submit a short article and share your visit with others on the Heritage Journal?

Hope is a word made up of a finicky nature.
It comes pre-packaged with proactive and prudence—two ingredients which, without a doubt, cause hope to flat line into cynic-coma.
The deadline has passed, and no moves were made to make my Angel indigestion smooth over and go away.
No; instead, I am popping cynical tums like a hot dog eating contestant.
Mike Trout faded as fast as a wintering Alaskan sunset, and the league rival Rangers continue to mount an enormous surge toward utter AL dominance.
Sure, we're currently just two games back of Texas. But if closely investigated, our middle relief is one of the poorest in the league, and our lack of offensive pungency distorts a top rotation.
Not to get more negative, but...with Jered Weaver awaiting some form of suspension for his Bob Gibson-esque antics, we are closer to life support than any of us suspected.
For this reason alone, I am calling for Tony Reagin's head and asking Arte and Co. to oust the wayward GM to the bounds of unemployment.
Insert a temporary chip and hire a realist at the position next season.

Posted on 08/23/2009 4:07:58 PM PDT by ZakeetEdited on 08/23/2009 4:15:52 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
While former opera singer Joanna Simon was Walter Cronkite's constant companion in the last four years of his life, summering in Martha's Vineyard and yachting off the East Coast with the legendary TV anchor, he didn't leave her a cent when he died last month.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Cheap @$$.
That's the way it is, Joanna.
Commie deadbear SOB. RIP.
Commie deadbeat SOB. RIP.
She will write a book, expose him as a wife abuser and extreme leftist, revenge is sweet.
"Cheap @$$."
Yes, but did he buy her all those jewels?
If he did, maybe he was not so cheap after all.
I don't like the libtard creep, but he did the right thing this time. His kids should get the moola.
If he didn't, then she had a lot of money on her own anyway.
I thought Uncle Walt was a little bit old for "bros before hos".
She'll find a way to challenge it.And,depending on how much $$$ he left,the case will take months or,perhaps,years to sort things out.
She's no Anna Nicole Smith.
P.S. again.
Who paid for her facelift? She or he? Those Things don't come cheap.
She's one of Carly's sisters.
"I dont like the libtard creep, but he did the right thing this time. His kids should get the moola"
I agree.
Yes. I am sure she got her money.
He made up his will several years ago. He left his estate to his children. She will do the same with her estate. She is a widow and he a widower. He left things intact. Big deal. I would hope that I would not jump into the notion that I have to change my will if my spouse died just because I was dating someone. He was a liberal but no fool
"He proposed to Joanna several years ago," one insider tells us of Cronkite. "They were going to get married on the Martha's Vineyard estate of her sister Carly Simon. But Walter thought he should ask for his children's permission. They went bananas. Their mother, Betsy, was married to Walter for 65 years. And as far as they were concerned, there was never going to be another Mrs. Cronkite."

Not a fan of Mr. Cronkite, but it seemed Ms. Simon knew the score. And, the children deserve his estate.
Now I am wondering if he did give her some money while he was alive so he would not mess up his estate plans.
That's what Charles Kuralt's widow thought.Check the decision of the Montana Supreme Court in the Kuralt case and then tell me it couldn't happen to Comrade Cronkite's heirs.
Joanna Simon (born October 20, 1940) is a distinguished American mezzo-soprano and currently a Manhattan based real estate broker. She was born in New York and is the sister of rock musicians Carly and Lucy Simon.
Born in New York, Joanna Simon is the daughter of Richard L. Simon, co-founder of book publishers Simon & Schuster, Inc. and Andrea Heinemann Simon, a civil rights activist and singer.
Joanna Simon was married to the late Gerald Walker (April 16, 1928 February 19, 2004), a former articles editor for The New York Times Magazine and author of the book Cruising, published in 1970 by Stein and Day, which describes a series of crimes against gay men in New York City.
Simon also enjoyed a career as an Emmy Award-winning Arts Correspondent with the MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour from 1986-1992.
Her current career sees her based in Manhattan as Vice President of the Fox Residential Group, real estate brokers, a company which she joined in 1998.
Would you have expected anything different from this far-leftist fraud? I remember when he stated with absolute certainty that the Vietnam war was lost in 1968.
I served in Vietnam from 1969-70 and in the area from Saigon to the Mekong Delta, it was largely pacified because most of the Viet Cong who participated in Tet 1968 were killed.
Uncle Walt also was all for green energy conservation except for wind turbines on Cape Code. A worthless fraud and good riddance that he is not around to adore BP Plenty.
Revenge is, indeed, sweet!
J. Simon should have insisted on marriage if she wanted to ensure that she was protected from being left 'high and dry'. She might not even care about money.
More than that, however, would be to do anything it takes to wipe those words from the daughter's mouth. What a crappy thing to say in public, true or not. There was no reason to embarrass J. Simon like that... if what she claims was true, which I doubt. Nancy is absolutely uncouth.
(Cronkite's daughter Nancy said her father was "very generous" to Simon while alive, but never intended to put her in his will. Dad said to us, 'I don't want to marry Joanna out of respect for your mother, and I don't want to share my estate with her.' ")
Love amongst the ruins!
This lady looks like she has plenty of her own moolah.
Why should Cronkite have left her anything? I know several older couples who are (or did) pair up. His assets will go to his heirs, her assets will go to her heirs. I can't see that Cronkite did anything differently. It's what I'd do.
Cronkite took the Clintons on his boat during the former First Family's vacation on Martha's Vineyard on Aug. 25, 1998
Joanna, it was only sex.
It's really humorous if she was expecting anything from Uncle Walter. The American people never caught on, and apparently never did she.
Born in New York, Joanna Simon is the daughter of Richard L. Simon, co-founder of book publishers Simon & Schuster,
People in MA believe in Cronkite and Clinton and always will.
She's from a wealthy family and has had several successful careers.
Why should his three children share anything with her?
Oh, but he loved people.
His kids "should" get the moola only because that is what he wanted. If no one was dependent on him and he made no promises, then he "should" have done what the hell ever he wanted with his estate. If he wanted to leave the money to a three-toed sloth from Petticoat Junction or a ring-tailed mongoose from Lower Slobovia, that is what he "should" "should" have done.

Why should he unless she was also his nursemaid?
If that is Carly Simon's sister; she has plenty of bucks. They come from a rich publishing family.
Gotta say I agree with this. His money was his to do with as he wished.
My mom and dad were happily married for almost 46 years and when mom died, it nearly killed dad. He was so awfully unhappy and felt so alone. When he met a sweet little widow lady about two years later and then told us about two months later they were going to get married, we were surprised but really happy that he had found someone. She lived in Texas and he lived in NC but they had done a lot of talking and had flown back and forth to see one another. We knew he loved mom but we also knew he needed someone and thank God he found that someone. My two sisters, my brother and I were glad to see him get married again. It's been 9 years and they are having a great time together.
Gee, I feel so sorry for the skank.
It sounds like we agree.
I look at this thing with Cronkite in a more philosophical and political way.Cronkite was a leftist.Very,*very* far to the left.And what do American leftists believe most firmly? That the world in general,and the US in particular,is just chock full of suffering...of victims of our filthy capitalist system.One would think that such a compassionate guy like Cronkite would give most...if not all...of his $$$ to homeless shelters,soup kitchens and "women's reproductive health clinics" (aka:Planned Barrenhood).
I think that Cronkite's failure to do this proves positively that he was just another rich leftist phoney.
for now...
So what? Sounds fine to me.
It was his estate, and his choice to leave it to whomever he wanted.
Doesn't sound like his lady friend needed the money, and he was apparently open about how he wanted his estate divided.
None of our business.
I wonder if he got a special IRS exemption that I have read about (a single line in the IRS code) exempting his fortune from inheritance taxes. Hope the gubmint eats his estate. Serve the leftist right. An accountant friend said he had seen these (the IRS code is millions of lines long, IMSMR).
Give it up.
I'm perfectly happy for Cronkite to leave his estate to his kids and his friends.
What a crappy attitude here on FR. Regardless of whether you agree with Cronkite's views or not, this is a free country, and he enjoyed the same first amendment rights that we do.
I hate estate taxes, and if I don't want to pay them, it would be hypocritical for me to want anyone else to.
This is just a stupid discussion.

Help Me Recreate Amazing Migas!
When I was in Monterey I had a tex-mex migas like I'd never seen and I've always wanted to recreate it at home. it was the traditional tex-mex migas ingredients (tomato, bell pepper, onion, egg, cheese, tortilla chips) but it came out standing whole and firm, not unlike a flan and it cut like one - moist but really sturdy, not falling apart, almost like a quiche? The non-egg stuff was diced superfine and just melted into it. How did they make this and how can I do it at home? [more inside]

The hotel is conveniently located eight blocks from downtown and six minutes from the airport. Overall, the property can be described as simple, from its rooms, which are furnished with the usual coffee and ironing amenities, to the small, seasonal outdoor swimming pool.

Absolutely loving be all of your things!! Thank you
Sharon on Aug 3, 2016
Love this adorable ring. So special. Super price fast shipping. Great communication. A+seller & artist.
Fate, kismet, or the legacy of the fairy godmothers
I love old weathered things that feel like they have a history. And I love the stories and connections that each of us carries around. The jewelry I make honors both.
I've been doing this since 2005 and every step of the way I've had this tribe of fairy godmothers following me around, buying my work and saying the sweetest things. I am so, so grateful to all of you for that.
These days I work when I can from a little studio in the old house I'm fixing up. I make jewelry from sterling silver, brass, paper, fabric and resin. I hope that the jewelry you chose makes you feel beautiful, melts your heart or makes you smile. And I hope that you will love it.

A high maintenance girl who would require an income level greater than yours to support her lavish lifestyle. They are usually found at clubs with high cover charges and surrounded by fifty guys who all pay for her.
Two guys catch a hot girl decked out in designer clothing, Gucci glasses, Manolo stilletos, and more jewelry than small African nations posses. One says to the other "Check out that one over there," and the other notices the money leaving his pockets and says "no way man, she is way above my tax bracket"

Company DetailsUpdate
Boxby is a UK-based online shipping marketplace that connects customers with couriers and parcel carriers.
Boxby works with over 2500 courier and parcel companies all over the UK to provide direct quotes for customer shipments. When customers register with Boxby.co.uk, they can submit transport jobs and receive dozens of competitive quotes for their business. Boxby is an excellent resource for eBay auction sellers and winners-- whether the item is large or small.
Boxby is the inspiration of Alistair and Sandra Patterson, who have been in the antiques and furniture business for more than 20 years.
For many years, Alistair and Sandra Patterson traded successfully on the internet as Lochryan Furniture Store, selling through their own web site and on eBay. The items sold in nearly all instances were too large, too valuable or too heavy to post, so Alistair and Sandra started their own delivery business. Their delivery service grew quickly as they found other eBay traders who had a similar demand.
The delivery service they created was different from other couriers in a number of ways. Firstly, in most instances customers were not looking for the quickest delivery, but often the most affordable. Many items delivered for eBay traders were items that had been purchased at very reasonable prices, and the last thing that either the buyer or the seller wanted was a hefty delivery charge. Secondly, most eBay buyers and sellers worked, and they didn't want to take a day off work to be home for a delivery. And thirdly, they wanted someone who could carry their item safely and reliably, properly strapped and secured in the van, and carried by people experienced in moving furniture and heavy items.
The Pattersons looked at customers' needs from the viewpoint of the self-employed van operator. Changing economic factors and dramatic increases in UK fuel charges highlighted that it was uneconomical to drive empty vans around the country.
Boxby directly addresses the demand for deliveries that don't fit in a box. Futhermore, Boxby also provides a valuable resource for couriers and van services that must maximize the use of their vans. Putting the two groups together is the ideal solution-- this is what Boxby does.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 11, 2014.
A tactical squad roguelike RPG for Android and IOS full of strategy. Guide a radically different team of three every time you play!
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 11, 2014.
DB is a roguelike with a pure squad-based tactical focus. The player takes control of three weird and wonderful creatures and has to learn to use them effectively.
The emphasis is on devising a strategy based on the most effective way to use each of your team members, given their skills, abilities and equipment, in each new tactical situation they find themselves in.
An Elf is pretty fragile, but fast and hard to hit. Good Attack skill means he is handy with ranged weapons and hits often in melee. He has a head, hands and a humanoid body which means he can use any item or armor found in the dungeon. Different weapons means he can deal out different types of damage, etc... highly adaptable.
A Zombie is pretty tough, but slow and can't hit well. But like an Elf, can use anything found in the dungeon, which gives scope to improve areas it is deficient in, or make its strengths (general toughness) even stronger.
An Acid Blob is even more tough than a zombie, being highly resistant to chemical attacks, as well as being fairly resistant to hard and sharp attacks. It is still susceptible to energy attacks, however. Unlike a zombie, it packs a good wallop in the form of a strong chemical attack. The thing is, this unusual creature doesn't have a head, hands or humanoid body so it can't use any items at all! As it gains in experience, like any creature, it will get proportionately stronger and more skilled, but its fundamental nature won't change.
How would you use these creatures to make an effective team?
Things to consider:
The big bad guy is really bad. By the time you get to him, you better have your team honed to a razor sharp edge.
Backers will get an alpha version to play with once the Kickstarter is over.
The gameplay of Dungeon Bash centres on deciding what role each member should have in each battle, and effectively playing that role depends on positioning your team members correctly with respect to the monsters and each other.
To strengthen this core-game play even further I want to add the following:
The game is designed specifically for phones. While the screen shot below may look rather sparse and simple, and the UI elements on the right look rather large, on a 4 inch screen, it looks a lot better - the UI is nicely finger-sized with a smooth 'physics' scroll and the dungeon looks clear and and uncluttered so you can visualize your next move.
I want to make the game look as good as it possibly can, but the priority is and always has been the gameplay.
Of course there are improvements in the graphics still to be made - the UI is mostly my own work and I SUCK at artwork.
List to the tracks they have laid down for different periods in the game from moving slowly, through marching, and into battle!
Can you imagine leading an acid blob, an elf and a minotaur into combat? Or perhaps a pit-viper, a zombie and a slime demon?
Dungeon Bash puts the player in control of a team of three adventurers, randomly selected from a list of over thirty radically different creatures, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
Dungeon Bash is a turn-based game of discovery and tactical combat that will have you sweating on every move.
Tankers, Flankers, Shooters, Buffers - you decide on the roles your team will play in each new tactical situation and utilize them for best effect - if you can!
You must take this team ever deeper into a randomly generated dungeon, battling hordes of monsters, in order to destroy an evil arch-wizard.
There are over eighty different types of foe -- your challenge is to learn how to defeat each type with the particular abilities and equipment that your current team possesses.
But don't worry, with each victory your team becomes stronger and more skilled. And monsters may have equipment and magical items that your adventurers can use.
In all, there are over one hundred and twenty different abilities and items in Dungeon Bash for you to discover and employ. No two games will ever play the same.
The unique gesture-based user interface allows you to intuitively control your adventurers and use their abilities with just a flick or two of your finger. There is no hidden functionality or complex sub-menus to navigate. Everything you need is right there.
Sanna Persson did these wonderful 3D models for us. Although we would love to send you the actual physical figurines, unfortunately the cost of postage means it's not practical for pledges up to $50.
However, owning your own 3D model files does have some advantages -- you can 3D cloud print as many figurines as you like, in whatever size you like and whatever material you like. Want a sterling silver Elf pendant, or a 20cm ceramic Troll? A whole army of demons? You can do that!
To proof our models, we used 3D cloud-printers Sculpteo. Their service is the most flexible for scaling your models without having to resize the mesh -- you just set the scale directly on their website, plus they were very helpful with teething problems.
Here is a link to the Ingenero RPG available for $25 pledges and up.
If we make the minimum funding level required we can produce attack and movement animations for the 80 creatures we have left, at a similar quality to the ones we already have in the video. Audio will be stock sound effects. If we get this far, we will be very, very happy.
We will commission more animation work to make the special effects for the game really shine. Multi-frame expanding burst-effects, super death animations, shadows, landing clouds...the works! All those little details that complete the visual experience. Additionally, we will produce some themed levels to make progressing down through the dungeon visually exciting.
We have over 70 physical items in the game that currently show an icon in the tab pane according to their type - for instance all weapons are represented by a sword icon. Reaching this goal would enable us to commission more artwork to represent each item with its own distinctive and stylistic icon. We will also make even more themed levels. A visual feast!
Reaching this goal would enable us to commission an audio professional to really give the game some sonic atmosphere. We are unsure exactly what this will be like -- we'll leave that to the professionals! -- but we can't wait to find out. Dungeon Bash will sound as good as it will look.
Being an impoverished indie game developer is challenging. It takes a wide range of skills to deliver a polished, professional game. Artistic skill I just don't have, and without these people allowing me to use their wonderful graphics for *free*, I wouldn't have been able to make the video.
Teekatas - for his fantastic and unique looking icons
Kevin Hill of Chronosoft - for graciously allowing me to use his dungeon tile graphics for this Kickstarter from his upcoming game Spirit Hunter Mineko
Dungeon Bash *will* be published to IOS and Android app-stores. There is no technical impediment to completing the game. It's just a matter of what quality of graphics and sound can be afforded.
Could unforeseen problems delay the release of Dungeon Bash? Possibly. The basic level of funding will allow us to complete the minimum animations required with a single artist. If that artist experiences delays, then the project will be delayed. If the delays continue, then an alternative artist could be hired instead.
We will simply not let this project fail - we have the expertise and we are supremely motivated to see it through.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

As I mentioned in Apple's Missed Opportunities, Part 1, I have had a few weeks now to work with Apple's OS X Mountain Lion. While people have written what they like or dislike about the new operating system, I tend to look at it from a business standpoint and what would make Apple more competitive in the small business space.
What Apple encouraged us to do with OS X Snow Leopard (10.6), it has eliminated only two years later with OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). It's sad, because RSS / Atom feeds are a great way to keep current on news and bloggers that interest you. One could argue no two RSS feed compilations are identical. Like DNA everyone has their own unique set. What is so frustrating is that the last thing I want to do is to download yet another app to manage RSS feeds. There is Mail, Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds... all which on the desktop used to be accessible using two apps: Safari or Mail. Now, we're forced to add a third to the mix. This is starting to get crazy. Go here for this, go here for that, and now use this other app for RSS feeds. What's more, at the same time Apple eliminated both Safari and Mail being able to manage RSS feeds. In their place Apple gave us Notification Center.
And here's where Apple missed the boat. What if Apple has just moved RSS feeds from Mail and Safari into Notification Center? I mean isn't that the idea of Notification Center? To notify us of incoming mail, remind us about appointments or a software update. Why not make this even more useful by letting us add RSS feeds to the mix? How about following someone on Twitter or Facebook? It is easy to see how quickly this simple Mountain Lion feature could become really, really powerful.
Craig Federighi (AKA Mr. Hair), are you listening? Notification Center could easily handle almost any and every kind of incoming notification on the Mac. If you do, and you make it easy to use and yet easy to define what types of messages I want to see and when, wow, you will truly have made the killer app that will push your OS another 5 years ahead of the competition. Plus, it is a feature that is very likely to become something people can't live without!

Historical Traveler Reviews Gatwick White House Hotel Horley
Great Disappontment staying at this over proiced run down hotel if you can call
We had to wait to be picked up (about 1 hour) from Gatwick to this run down hotel. Over priced and very shabby. We were just there for an over night and had booked through travel agent or would have definitely not stayed at this probably the worst hotel ever in our life, for both of us.Rude clerks, did not want to carry our luggage for us either into bedroom or when leaving in morning. Breakfast on a scale 1-5 a one....Beware fellow travellers...
Great budget accomodation
I was amazed reading some of the other reviews, almost to the point that before I started writing this I had to verify that we were indeed talking about the same B&B
We researched quite extensively potential accomodation for a recent trip where we need somewhere to "crash" before heading off for a short trip in Europe.
I thought the White House hotel was perfect for what it was offering. Cheap, clean and convenient accomodation for Gatwick Airport
Believe me Ive stayed in a lot worse than this place
We found the staff to be efficient and polite. Breakfast was usual English fry up with cereals and juices.
Our room was basic but clean with all the facilities we needed for an overnight stay.
We really liked the pickup and drop off service to Gatwick (free)
and would gladly stay there again
Scam - Do Not Stay Here
My wife and I were extremely unhappy with our experience. We feel that this is a scam and we would never recommend this hotel to anyone. We booked 1 night at the Gatwick White House; however, when we tried to check in, we were informed that there was no room for us there, and that we would be driven to another hotel, The George Hotel, operated by the same owner. We were made to pay for The George Hotel at the Gatwick White House, before we were even allowed to see the hotel/room. There was no mention whatsoever on the website when we booked a room at the Gatwick White House of the possibility that we would be transferred to a second hotel. All in all, we arrived at our room at The George Hotel a full hour and a half later after dragging our 10 suitcases in and out of 2 reception rooms, back and forth across 2 parking lots and up 3 flights of stairs. The George Hotel was very unclean. There was dirt on the carpet, stains on the bedspread, and mold on the bathroom ceiling. We expressed our displeasure and we were given the run-around until we had to leave The George Hotel to catch our flight at Gatwick airport - we were never able to speak with someone responsible about the quality of our stay and our dissatisfaction. On the way to the airport, we asked the courtesy van driver if guests who booked a room at the Gatwick White House were frequently transferred to The George Hotel, and he said that yes, it happened all the time. This was a different answer than the one we had received from The George Hotel manager when we asked him the same question. We feel that this is a scam to fill up the very unclean George Hotel. We feel that the hotels deceived us intentionally. The website advertised one hotel only and we booked a room at this hotel yet we were shuttled around to another one that was less than adequate. Do not make the same mistake that we did. Avoid both of these hotels.
Young Visitor From Texas
I spent a whole week at this hotel. I was picked up shortly after 7 a.m. from the South Terminal at the airport even though the website posted 10:00 as a check in time. My bags were carried to my room and I noticed that my room was kind of small, but I was traveling alone so I didn't expect much. My room did not smell like smoke even though you were allowed to smoke in the bar. I had to change rooms my second night because I noticed my windows were not shutting or locking so they moved me 2 doors down for the rest of my stay. I enjoyed the fact that I was able to request the car to and from the South Terminal every time I went out. I did not stay in my room very often because I had to travel to London everyday and would return just in time to catch a light dinner and go to bed. The restaurant was very nice and clean and served an excellent breakfast. Overall, I was satisfied with the environment at this hotel and enjoyed my first trip to England. I would recommend this hotel to anyone willing to spend a few extra pounds to stay in your own personal room instead of a hostile.
Don't even think about it
Stayed here the night before an early flight. There were hairs in the bed. I was glad I brought two towels so I could stand on one in the dirty shower. Ordered room service (family is Indian, smell was fantastic) - food was just okay, price was silly. Left car at hotel in the morning and took their shuttle to the airport. But was left waiting an hour on the return journey from the airport. And they charged me for car parking.
Don't go, it's not pleasant, I don't care how tight your budget might be.
Don't Stay Here!
Big disappointment if you stay here--the room smelled like cigarette smoke (despite the no smoking sign on the door), and there was mildew in the shower. Not to mention the little slug that walked into the bathroom. . . I would advise you to look elsewhere.
How disappointing!!!!
This hotel was a great disappointment. It was smelly, dirty and shappy with paint peeling off the walls. To top that off the receptionist was very rude and it took them an hour to collect us from the airport - which we were told would take 5 mins!!! The 'double' rooms were tiny with a mini double bed - you just couldn't escape the bad experience! Wouldn't recommend it to anyone....
Simple hotel for an overnight stay
We stayed at this hotel one night during a stop-over in Gatwick. The hotel has a shuttle to drive you back and forth to the airport at whatever time you have to be there. The hotel itself is rather basic, but it is clean and well-kept. Our room was somewhat on the small side. We had a window that looked out to the highway but fortunately it wasn't all that noisy. The hotel staff is courteous. If you want to go into London, the train station is about a 15-minute walk from the hotel. If you buy an all-day pass to the rail system from there it will cost you about 11 pounds. If you are not looking for luxury and instead for a good value for a one-night stay, this is probably the way to go.
A very big disappointment
After a long trip, I was looking forward to a quite room and hot shower. At check-in, they took my credit card. Then said they had no rooms. Took me to a place about 5 miles away. Dirty, noisy. I tried to call the hotel later in my trip. Extremely hard to get their phone number. I will recommend to my travel agent not to use them again. I should say in their defense, the check-in person was at all time courteous.
Cheap, Clean, & Convienent
I recently stayed overnight at the White House Hotel before flying home from Gatwick. When I arrived at the airport to catch my free transfer to the hotel I used the courtesy phone to call them and within 5 minutes my ride was there to take me to the hotel. Good start. The hotel is located on a street with many B & Bs and there are many shops and places to catch a bite within walking distance as is the train station which takes you to Victoria station in the heart of London. Was able to catch a city tour of London from Victoria.
The hotel is basic but clean. I slept well and the bed was comfortable. I only paid 42.50 GBP for a single. They offer a free breakfast (which I missed - closed at 845am). I would likely stay here again on another layover. Not the place to stay for a a wk in London but good for the night.

Gatwick to Berlin
... I have never flown with them but they seem to be another budget airline. So far it has gone smoothly - kiosk to check in, print boarding pass and luggage tag. Luggage then on the automated belt - my bag now weighs 20.5kg but it has just about everything in it as I was only allowed 1 carry on bag. Now just to wait the 3 hours for my flight!! Flight was good - just over 90 minutes. Berlin is sunny and warm. ...

This was a bit of a double up for us, just because of all the WW2 stuff we've already seen....but it was really well done. We did learn a little more about Hitler and also they had a massive display of the Auschwitz camp which was really interesting. We spent nearly 3 hours looking ...

Tennessee head coach Butch Jones would be the first one to tell you that on Saturday afternoon.
Pretty left the building when Tennessee's offense stalled in the second half. Or when holder Tyler Drummer knocked a 52-yard Michael Palardy field goal attempt with his off-ball hand.
Pretty was long gone when South Alabama chipped at a 31-7 deficit and turned a cake walk ballgame into a one-score nail biter.
But getting the win is all that matters.
Jones will gladly take ugly. For now.
"I've been doing this 20-plus years and every win is a good win," Jones said. "We needed to get to victory No. 3. We got to victory No. 3."
Sign up now to join the
Tennessee community.
Free 7-day trial!
Jones gushed about running back Rajion Neal, calling it the most complete game of the senior's career. He praised the pass rush and complimented Palardy.
It wasn't a clean game. Jones knows that. But in his eyes, a win like this is nothing more than a teaching opportunity.
"When you're learning to teach individuals how to win, everything is a teaching opportunity," Jones said. "We had anything and every go wrong… and yet we found a way at the end of the game to win the game. We're going to go back to work tomorrow and get better."
Sounds Bites
Forget the freshman
Jones said post-game that he never considered playing true freshmen Riley Ferguson or Joshua Dobbs.
When asked if either rookie gunslinger was an option, Jones responded with a stern "no."
"When they're ready to play, they'll be ready to play," Jones said. "There's a lot of consideration that goes into putting the freshmen in."
The debate this week was which newcomer would earn the back up job. It looked to be Ferguson by all indications.
Ferguson took snaps with backup center Mack Crowder and handed off to Marlin Lane during pre-game warm-ups. Dobbs worked with Zach Fulton and gave to Tom Smith.
Limping Lane
Marlin Lane suffered an undisclosed leg injury in the second half on Saturday.
Jones described it as a "lower leg" injury and said his status would not be clear until the middle of the week.
Lane rushed for 66 yards on five attempts. His average of 13.2-yards per carry was bolstered by a 54-yard rush in the first quarter, but Lane was effective nonetheless.
Tom Smith received three carries in Lane's absence, and turned his rare opportunity into 27 yards.
Not wavering on Worley
Butch Jones wasn't about to call Justin Worley's performance against South Alabama excellent. But he wouldn't call it a failure, either.
Jones defended Worley after the junior's three interception performance that nearly gifted the Jaguars a win.
"I thought he did some good things moving forward. He made some big throws," Jones said. "I'm proud of Justin."
Worley's mistakes were obvious. He threw more interceptions than touchdowns. On the season, Worley has tallied eight touchdowns and six picks.
In the second half, Worley froze. His game stalled, as did Tennessee's offense.
Worley completed just five passes for 54 yards after halftime. But Jones would argue that it's not all the quarterback's fault.
"He wasn't helped out with the guys on the perimeter as well and it's a team game. I thought he did some good things moving forward," Jones said. "He made some big throws when we needed them on third and long at the end of the game. Again, it's just the overall management.
"They brought a lot of pressure and they were trying to impact the quarterback. He needs to learn just one more split second because we had crossing routes, but I'm proud of Justin. Playing quarterback at the University of Tennessee, there's a lot that comes with that and he's learning as we go. I thought he showed some resiliency today."
North not getting it
Tennessee continues waiting on wideout Marquez North to have a more significant impact.
The Vols will need to be patient. The wait will continue.
"Marquez is still going through the nuances of being a college wide receiver," Jones said. "He was basically a high school running back last year so he's learning."
North may still be working through the learning curve, but that doesn't mean Jones will let the freshman take his time getting used to big time football.
The Vols need North's 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame on the same page with Worley. It hasn't happened thus far.
"Wide outs paint pictures for the quarterback and everything in the throw game is rhythm, spacing and timing," Jones said. "Each play has a life of its own so sometimes it may be Justin, sometimes it's Marquez but we have to get that fixed and fixed in a hurry."
Butch Jones, per university
Justin Worley, per university
