The most remarkable is that diesel and petrol are at the same price. Diesel is usually about 20 cents a litre cheaper because of tax.

Ypres - Lakenhalle

Baldwin II the Bald, Margrave of Flanders, fortified Ypres to defend against the Normans with th early 10th century. During the Middle Ages, Ypres was a prosperous Flemish city with a population of 40,000 in 1200 AD, renowned for its linen trade with England, which was mentioned in the Canterbury Tales. Textiles from Ypres could be found in the markets of Novgorod in Kievan Rus' in the early 12th century. In 1241, a major fire ruined much of the old city. During the Norwich Crusade, led by the English bishop Henry le Despenser, Ypres was besieged in 1383, until French relief forces arrived. Ypres became the seat of the new Diocese of Ypres in 1561, and Saint Martin's Church was elevated to cathedral. In 1678, Ypres was conquered by the forces of Louis XIV of France. It remained French and Vauban constructed his typical fortifications.

Ypres occupied a strategic position during the First World War. The neutrality of Belgium, established by the First Treaty of London, brought the British Empire into the war. The Germans surrounded the city on three sides, bombarding it throughout much of the war. To counterattack, British, French, and allied forces made costly advances into the German lines on the surrounding hills. In the First Battle of Ypres (November 1914), the Allies captured the town from the Germans. The Germans´ use of poison gas for the first time in April 1915 marked the beginning of the Second Battle of Ypres. They captured high ground east of the town. Mustard gas, also called Yperite from the name of this town, was also used for the first time near Ypres, in the autumn of 1917. After the war, Winston Churchill proposed to leave Ypres in ruins as a mausoleum,.
The "Lakenhalle" (cloth hall) is a large, Gothic building complex originally dating back to the 13th century. The foundation stone is said to have been laid around 1200 by the Count of Flanders, and its construction lasted until 1304. It was one of the largest commercial buildings of the Middle Ages, when it served as the main market and warehouse for the city's prosperous cloth industry. At 125 metres in breadth, with a 70 metres high belfry tower, it recalls the importance and wealth of the medieval trade city.

On November 4, 1914, a German general had the medieval Lakenhalle reduced to rubble and ashes without any military reason. Reconstructions started in the early 1920s. It was opted for a faithful and rigorous restitution of the building. The current hall is therefore largely an exact replica of the medieval building as it existed before the war. However, some parts of the monument are still original, notably in the western part and at the base of the belfry. Most of the reusable old elements found in the ruins and the rubble were reintegrated into the monument, and they served as a model for the missing elements. Reconstruction work ended in 1967.

Today the "In Flanders Fields Museum", dedicated to the history of the Great War, is housed here. The Renaissance annex, the "Nieuwerck", added 1619 - 1622 now serves as the town hall.

Rothley station on the Great Central Railway has been restored as it would have been in the early 20th century and is lit by gas lamps. This gives it a fabulous atmospheric feel in the late evening in winter. Here BR Standard 5 73156 waits to depart for Leicester near the end of a Gala weekend.

An Edwardian HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start of the new week.
