In the movie "Winning Longde," which I saw yesterday. It was about recreation in England and there was a theater "Globe." I decided to learn more about this theater. In England there is a theater "Globe", one of the oldest theaters in London, located on the south bank of the Thames.
      The glorious history of the theater "Globe" began in 1599, when in London, is more a love of theater arts, one after the other public buildings were constructed public theaters. In the construction of "Globe" was used construction materials left over from the demolished building of the first public theater in London (it was called - "Theatre"). The owners of the building, the famous troupe of English actors Burbage, land lease expired, so they decided to rebuild the theater at the new location. This decision was certainly involved, and the leading playwright of the troupe - William Shakespeare, 1599 to become one of the shareholders Burbage Theatre "Servant of the Lord Chamberlain."

The most truthful sounds so. The sewerage was absent in the cities at 17-18 an eyelid. Sewage poured out on streets together with corpses of animals.

Bodiam Castle is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years' War.  Its structure, details and situation in an artificial watery landscape indicate that display was an important aspect of the castle's design as well as defence.

Animal diversity is modest, as a result of factors including the island's small land area, the relatively recent age of the habitats developed since the last Ice Age and the island's physical separation from continental Europe, and the effects of seasonal variability. Great Britain also experienced early industrialisation and is subject to continuing urbanisation, which have contributed towards the overall loss of species. A DEFRA study from 2006 suggested that 100 species have become extinct in the UK during the 20th century, about 100 times the background extinction rate. However, some species, such as the brown rat, red fox, and introduced grey squirrel, are well adapted to urban areas.

And I can tell, about the well-known white rocks of Britain which so majestically have settled down on the southeast coast of Great Britain round the city of Dover thanks to which received the name. And Dover is in 129 kilometers from London.
The original English name of this miracle of the nature sounds as White Cliffs of Dover.
Height of these rocks fluctuates from 100 to 120 meters.
The white rocks of Dover served very long time ago as powerful protection against unexpected enemies. Historical value of these mountains is huge.
For seamen these rocks always served and serve as a reference point indicating approach to the English coast.
Mountains consist of soft white chalk, from here and snow-white color of rocks. In the Cretaceous million tiny beings living in sinks, died and remained to lie on a seabed. Thousand such layers were gradually pressed, creating thus a continuous white platform.
In many years water left, having left only powerful rocks of white color. Impregnations of black color in rocks is no other than flint.
In 2001 from the rocks of Dover the enormous white block which has fallen in the sea abyss broke away.
Services of a coast guard strongly recommend not to wander along rocks not to appear in collapse epicenter.
At desire more many information can be found about this fine place.
I don't represent even as impressively it looks when you stand nearby, but it is impossible, dangerously! ;(
