Улица Шемблз в Йорке

Средневековая улица Шемблз находится в одном из самых важных городов Великобритании, главном порту страны — Йорке. Протяженность улицы – 100 метров, а в ширину она очень узкая. Шемблз часто называют одной из наиболее хорошо сохранившихся в Европе средневековых улиц, хотя название также используется по отношению не только к самой улице, но и прилегающим узким переулкам. Название улицы происходит от саксонского «Fleshammels», что означает «Улица палачей», однако в Средние века этим словом называли мясной рынок. Йоркский мясной рынок упоминается в «Книге Страшного суда» — итогах английской переписи населения, проведённой в 1085—1086 годах Вильгельмом Завоевателем.

Шемблз привлекает путешественников в первую очередь своей отлично сохранившейся средневековой архитектурой. Старейшие здания имеют деревянный каркас и датируются XIV веком. Для них характерны выступающие вторые этажи. Прогулка по этой скромной, небольшой улочке может стать настоящей машиной времени, которая переносит туристов в эпоху, когда главным средством передвижения были повозки, а продавцы зазывали покупателей в свои лавки, стоя у двери. Мясники обслуживали покупателей прямо на широких подоконниках окон первых этажей. Кстати, необычные окна сохранились до сегодняшнего дня, а на некоторых зданиях до сих пор есть крюки для подвешивания мяса. Местами улочка настолько узкая, что можно руками дотянуться до прилавков по обеим сторонам. Все потому, что мясо должно быть надежно защищено от солнечных лучей, чтобы оставаться свежим в течение всего дня.

Сегодня улица представляет собой туристическую достопримечательность. На ней расположено множество сувенирных лавок и ресторанов. Некоторые из них посвящены вселенной «Гарри Поттера», поскольку принято считать, что именно обликом Шемблз навеяны виды Косого переулка в серии фильмов о юном волшебнике. Более сказочного и необычного места просто не нашлось, поэтому некоторые кадры снимали именно здесь.

Английский городок Норидж

Норидж – один из пяти самых больших городов норманнской Англии – раньше служил обширным внутренним рынком для восточно-английских производителей одежды и тканей, продукция которых прибывала сюда по реке и экспортировалась на континент.

 

Его изолированное положение позади Те-Фене означало, что он пользовался преимуществами более тесных связей с Нидерландами, Бельгией и Люксембургом, чем остальная часть Англии, – было легче пересечь Северное море, чем ехать в Лондон через всю страну. После 1700-х годов Норидж был вторым по богатству городом в стране после Лондона. Однако после промышленной революции Норидж уступил свои позиции северным промышленным городам: знаменитая горчичная компания – одна из немногих историй успешного производства.

В городе открыт музей горчицы Colman’s в Королевской галерее, существующей с викторианских времен. Любители этого знаменитого бренда-монополиста в изготовлении английской горчицы смогут приобрести популярную приправу, заслужившую признание английских вельмож еще со времен королевы Виктории и являющуюся и сегодня официальным поставщиком горчицы для королевской семьи Ее Величества Елизаветы Второй.

Старинный английский город Норидж удивительным образом сочетает средневековые улочки и современную архитектуру корпусов Университета Восточной Англии. Учебное заведение стало первым Британским вузом, создавшим магистратуру в области писательского мастерства. Среди выпускников немало известных личностей – лауреатов Нобелевской и Букеровской премии. Посетить его стоит ради Центра изобразительных искусств Сейнсбери, где наряду с сокровищницами Майя собраны работы Дега, Пикассо, Бекона, Генри Мура.

Среди главных достопримечательностей – около тридцати средневековых церквей из гранита, со стройными башнями и изысканной резьбой по камню вокруг окон.  Местной гордостью является Нориджский замок, служивший Королевским Дворцом, один из самых больших в Великобритании кафедральный собор, построенный в 1096 году из камней, привезенных специально на корабле из Нормандии, и ратуша 15 века. Геральдический символ города еще со средневековья – дракон, поэтому изображение этого диковинного зверя украшают многие фасады зданий и ежегодно зимой в городе проходит фестиваль дракона.

Королевский полумесяц

Королевский полумесяц – одна из главных улиц британского города Бат. Это жилая улица длиной в тридцать домов, организованная в форме полумесяца. Улица была спроектирована и построена в 1767-1774 гг. архитектором Джоном Вудом. Является образцом георгианской архитектуры и занесена в список Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.

Изначально комплекс назывался просто «Полумесяц», а прилагательное «королевский» добавилось в конце 18 века, когда Йоркский герцог Фредерик жил в домах № 1 и 16. Каждый владелец покупал определённую часть фасада и нанимал своего собственного архитектора для строительства здания за фасадом. Поэтому несмотря на то, что фасад однороден, задняя сторона совершенно разнородна. Такая архитектура типична для Бата.

Сейчас наряду с жилыми помещениями в домах располагается городской музей и отель. В доме №1, принадлежавшем сэру Генри Сэндфорду, размещен музей Королевского полумесяца. Здесь можно осмотреть интерьер типичного жилища джентльмена той эпохи, включая подсобные помещения, и купить сувениры в георгианском магазинчике. В доме 16 с 1950 года расположился отель. В 1971 году он был объединен с соседним домом и получил название «Отель Королевский полумесяц». Большая часть домов Королевского полумесяца служила резиденциями для британской знати. За прошедшие годы внутреннее убранство не раз менялось, но внешний облик особняков остался почти неизменным. Какие-то из зданий до сих пор являются жилыми и находятся в частной собственности.

Фасады должны оставаться неизменными, и по правилам цвет дверей может быть окрашен только в коричневый и белый цвета. Но, как рассказывают экскурсоводы, одна дверь все же выбивается на общем фоне желтым цветом – прихоть жены герцога Веллингтона в свое время вызвала такой резонанс, что обсуждалась даже на уровне парламента!
