Where tourists rarely spoil, Part 15: Three other cities in the United Kingdom with anonymous stories UK holidays
Dodley and West Midlands
Dunkan’s right leg swings, ready to kick the ball in the rain, below the hill. Paragon of Black Country Respecting, “Real-Life Roy of the Rovers” (this is how Terry Venbels said, the legend of the late midfielder Manchester United is definitely like Quif has bronze. In Best and Edwards, his wonderful book on football and tragedy, Gordon Berne quotes Austrian philosopher Robert Museil: “There is nothing invisible like the monument.” Although StatueA prominent location on the edge of the market field in Dodley, only the pilgrims applying for aging and curious travelers stop admiration for it.
It is difficult to estimate downtown Dodley in the winter, but on its edges wonderful buildings: a new town hall in Georgian and the former police station; Iros Wassim shot his arrow. Arcade affected fountain Deco, on 1925; Athletic bar, called The Old Glasshouse, which occupies a Victorian fire station.
The tram line is built to connect to Wednesday, where to Birmingham. The channels are doing this already. I set out to find an entry point, my way takes me after a Sculpture (Film rollers) devoted to the director of cinema James Will – Frankstein created in 1931 as an applicable commercial type and the idea of the monster as Blockhyd Montpeus. Perhaps the screws through its neck is the industrial contribution of Dodley.
Noise levels decrease as soon as I am taken to the clouds corridor, behind a wall of chaotic shrubs. More than 500 miles of channels intersect with West Midlands, which was built to connect factories and get goods to the market. Dodley had coal mining, limestone, iron, steel, engineering, glass pieces, textiles and skin. The city made cranes, chains and anchors (including 15 -tons center anchor for RMS Titanic), nails, fire networks, anvil, and vices. Many have gone, but I hear Clang and explosions and I am inclined.
Discover a snack tape behind a bastard fence, and find myself and find myself inside Shri Venkaisura Temple (Palaji); Liked granite Jobora (Pyramid) is inspired by the mother’s temple in Tirobati, southern India. The cafeteria offers a delicious Dawza.
I always expect recreational gardens hate, however Black countryside museum I hold me in the correct mood. The 1968 house is close enough to my childhood to create memory sensations. Old chocolate bars in the corner store, just for display, proverb. Half a liter of moderate pork and luminous pork in the bottle and glass – bare seats, bay window, open fire – made me feel tearful. The collection of periods and political outlets feels the local mini universe, preserved for provocation. The timeline of the living museum is 1712-1968: the external limits of the industrial revolution. I go out, go back to 2025, in a foggy state wondering about the dream, believing that someone should send Beckham, or Ronaldo, to bring that ball.

Enniskilllen, Fermanagh Province
Enniskilllen – Kathleen Island, Queen of Fomorians, supernatural invaders from the sea – in the lower Lough Erne. The north and the south are located on an endless islands, and an amphibious environment of rush, reeds, water birds and rods. To visit me, the Atlantic Ocean was sending large waves of rain to top everything. The sharp streets were waterfalls.
ENNISKILLEN was founded in 1612 by a charter issued by the Earth Games James VI and I. Cambridge, educated William Cole got a The land grant, on which a church, school, prison/court and homes were planted for the tower. He built and renewed bridges and added a tower to Enniskillen’s Castle – which was the medieval seat in Maguire (Mag Uidhir) in Fermanag. The market home and “Diamond” (City Square) – a common feature in the cities of farms – was placed in the center.
The streets of Enniskillen have previous functions on ceramic panels. Queen Street was previously on barracks and Brewery Lane. Belmanor Street was Gul Street. Lynn Al -Wagal Hospital, which later became Wesley Street. Aden Bouding Lin Street, after weapons of slaughterhouses. The sign, by the artist Elianor WheelerIt evokes ghosts and old roads. Wall murals The former population, including Oscar Wilde, who enrolled in the Royal School of Portora. and A large chess set – With 32 pieces and 64 cubes spread around bars and cafes – Building a maramone baket chess player, another Portora graduate.
Enniskilleners may help call the metabolic insulated lifestyle. There is a strong appetite for the past here. the jobWhich was opened in 1844, it was preserved as a reminder of the famine period and its effects, and it was doubled as a heritage center and the business center. “With the building, its stories, its voices and its people, we see beauty and sadness walk side by side,” says historian Catherine Scott, who was listed in 2009 when I heard that it was to be demolished.
The High Street is two large churches, stores, banks, cafes and a lot of bars. Between the bars, Blakes of the Hollow It appears due to the works of bright red and Victorian interior, with beautiful tiles on the floor (similar copies of those in the Catholic Church) and small wooden pirates-in one of which women used to drink separately. “If Irish bars are churches, Blix (from) Al -Jouf will be all their cathedral,” said novelist John McGrana.
Near the upper part of the city is the impressive city hall in the Renaissance. The Irish Republican Army continued a bomb here in 2003. At the foot of the city, the Clinton Center is not largely used, at the site of the 1987 anniversary bombing before poisoning in the city-which caused 12 deaths. Ern is going to the city a few steps away from here. Next to the eastern bridge, you remember, again, it is an island city. The rain is now a sparkling river in a chain. Venice, Tenochtitlan, Atlantis … Eniskillen.

Middlesbrough, north of Yorkshire
When architectural critic Ian Nairne made his TV series on BBC Football cities In 1975, he did not cover Middlesbrouge, but I think it is still a football city for many. The successful Gareth Southgate – winning the League Cup final as a player, and defeated Manchester City with eight goals for one of the director – who connects Boro to the fate of the national team, this situation. Google is looking for priority to the team and the local media that mix with the city.
Middlesbrough is a port but not on the coast, a railway town but not on the main line, which is a Victory creativity but none of them wrapped in memorization orders.

Sadly than a village when St. Hilda Church was dedicated in 1840, Middlespieh grew on the back of Stockon and Min. This was extended to Staithes in Port Middlesebrough, which was exported by Durham. The sidewalks were built, workshops were built and lifting engines were installed.
With the growth of Middlesbrough, its borders expanded south of the railway. The ancient northern region is sometimes known as “above the border” – a strengthening impression with the A66. A lot has been demolished, including St. Hilda (Lori seized it in 1959The oldest bar, The Ship Inn. Survivors who were somewhat cut off are the Hall of the town of 1846 in Italian style, Queen’s balcony And the former French baroque National Bank and provinces.
