Оползень в Йоркшире открыл атомный бункер

Писатели - служители творчества. И порой в моменты застоя, когда муза их покидает, они более других нуждаются в смене обстановки, позволяющей освежить чувства и эмоции и продолжить творить. Но иногда литераторы исчезают столь неожиданно, без объяснений, что даже родные и близкие остаются в замешательстве и не могут понять, что же на самом деле случилось. За пределами вымышленного мира, который они...

Около 1800 лет назад в период римского владычества над Британией люди, занимавшиеся подготовкой тел к погребению, использовали гипсоподобную пастообразную массу для обработки трупов. Как было отмечено исследователями в новой статье, на этой массе сохранились отпечатки пальцев, различимые и по сей день. Археологи утверждают, что эти недавно обнаруженные следы свидетельствуют о непосредственном учас...

It is nicknamed “the gateway to the Dales”, is home to one of England’s best-preserved medieval castles and, for trivia fans, was the birthplace of half of Marks & Spencer. Now, the Yorkshire market town of Skipton has been named “the happiest place to live” in Great Britain. It received the accolade from the property website Rightmove, which runs a “happy at home” index – now in its 14th year. Th...

‘What kind of god builds a world on this forgotten town?” Richie Culver seethes on Curse, closing out his dark, cinematic album I Trust Pain. He’s referring to Withernsea, a faded seaside resort near Hull, where he grew up and then desperately wanted to leave. “I remember feeling so resentful,” he says. “I heard Tracey Chapman’s Fast Car and thought: is this song about me?” He duly got out aged 17...

He was the world's most famous cricket umpire but also a true son of Yorkshire.

Шарлотта Бронте родилась в семье сельского священника Патрика Бронте в Йоркшире. В 1824 году Шарлотта и три ее сестры были отданы отцом в сиротский приют для дочерей духовенства. Здесь их должны были подготовить к профессии гувернанток; не случайно пансион в местечке Кован-Бридж стал прообразом для Ловудского приюта в романе «Джен Эйр». От вспыхнувшей в 1825 году эпидемии тифа погибли две старшие...

Спустя шесть сезонов и два полных метра сага «Аббатство Даунтон» обзавелась третьим фильмом с подзаголовком «Большой финал» и осанистой поступью вышла к зрителям на поклон. Неужели и правда наступила пора прощаться? Кажется, создатели все же лукавят и не собираются придавать значения титулу. Именно сближение сословий вне зависимости от родословной всегда было главным топливом шоу с прекрасными све...

After reading your moving obituary of Tony Harrison (28 September), tributes to him from Ian McMillan and others (Classics with added Yorkshire class, 28 September), and the article by Mark Lawson (‘The man who came to read the metre’: Yorkshire poet Tony Harrison was the National Theatre bard, 27 September), I’d like to add a personal postscript. As a visiting poet, Tony became my tutor for my fi...

Многолетние научные споры относительно генезиса кратера Сильверпит, расположенного в южной акватории Северного моря, пришли к завершению. Новые данные убедительно свидетельствуют о том, что он возник в результате падения небесного тела, астероида или кометы приблизительно 43-46 миллионов лет назад. Группа ученых, возглавляемая доктором Уисдином Николсоном из Университета Хериот-Уотт, использовала...

Deep below the seabed, 80 miles off the coast of Yorkshire, is a remarkable crater that has divided scientists – was it, thrillingly, created by an asteroid crash? Or more mundanely was it the result of geological salt movements? Today, the decades-long scientific debate can be settled. The Silverpit crater 700 metres below the seabed under the North Sea was in all likelihood created by a direct h...

Seventeen wickets fell on a feet-tappingly tense day at the Oval, the game swinging like an out-of-kilter pendulum as the bowlers hunted in packs, with assistance from a pitch with a twinkle in its eye. Nottinghamshire finished the day with a lead of 277 and two wickets left, to leave Surrey the biggest score of the match to chase – but on a pitch that usually irons out. After a calm first hour Su...

Autumn unpacked her suitcase as eight Championship games were called off without a ball bowled due to rain and hazardous high winds. It was only in a small pocket of south London that play was possible, a full day’s worth in the big title battle at The Oval. Division One leaders Surrey, who had a one-point lead over second-placed Nottinghamshire coming into the game, sent their East Midlands visit...

Autumn is unpacking her suitcase as we roll into this penultimate round, sun shining on already rusting leaves, acorns everywhere, swallows almost gone. All eyes to The Oval where Surrey (first) play Nottinghamshire (second) in what could be the 2025 Championship decider. Surrey lead by just one point and with rain threatening the last two rounds, every bonus point is crucial. Leicestershire confi...
