The Portmeirion Hotel |
Details |
This beautiful and unique hotel is truly famous as
the setting for the cult TV programme The Prisoner - the place known
as 'The Village'. The hotel and its grounds were conceived by genius
architect and designer Clough Williams-Ellis and are to be found in
Snowdonia in north Wales. His vision was quite remarkable - to build
a village consisting of Italianate and European-influenced buildings
and follies whilst providing generous grounds for local and
exotic-looking trees, shrubs and plants to thrive. But this is no
model village or museum - it's a fine hotel which is open all the
year round for staying guests as well as for day-trippers to sample
the local sandy beaches and woodlands. There is also a shop which
sells Prisoner-related memorabilia as well as several restaurants |

Mathmos |
Details |
The Original lava lamp the "Astro" was
invented by Edward Craven-Walker in 1963. His invention was based on a
wartime egg timer he saw in a Dorset pub. Mr Craven-Walker remained a
consultant at Mathmos until his sad death in 2000. We still make lava
lamps in Poole, Dorset, UK. At Mathmos we design, manufacture and
market our own range of award winning branded ambient lights. We are
proud of both our long British manufacturing history and of our Queens
Award winning exports. Millions of people have been proud to give and delighted to own Mathmos products all over the world for nearly 50 years. The Mathmos story begins with the invention of the lava lamp by our founder Edward Craven-Walker in 1963. Mr. Craven-Walker was a great British inventor, entrepreneur and eccentric. Apart from inventing the lava lamp he also made underwater naturist films, flew helicopters, drove a fire engine, was a world war two pilot, a talented accountant, entertained the cast of the 60s musical Hair and owned a naturist camp in Dorset. Taking years to develop the formula original models were made with orange squash bottles. The “astro” and “astro baby” were the first two lava lamps launched in 1963 and 1964 respectively. They were an instant hit and became one of the defining products of the swinging ‘60s appearing in cult TV series ''The Prisoner" and "Dr.Who". They were manufactured in Poole, Dorset, and have been in continuous production in the UK ever since. Call or email us Tel: 01202 620114 Email: mathmos@mathmos.com
