yates

Yates''s is a pub chain, founded as Yates Wine Lodge in Oldham, in North West England by Peter and Simon Yates in 1884. There are over 70 Yates''s pubs or bars in the United Kingdom however, there is no longer one in Oldham. The site of the original Yates'' Wine Lodge is marked by a plaque on Oldham High Street. Some Yates''s have been converted to Slug and Lettuce pubs in recent years.
On 27 March 2008, the chain was put into administration. and the majority of the units were purchased by Town & City Pub Company. Since that time a major investment programme has been commenced which has led to the opening of a number of new Yates''s across the country.
Yates''s is best known as a late night, vertical drinking style of establishment and still excels in this market although in recent years the brand has diversified into food and family offerings to compete head to head with others such as Wetherspoons

This very interesting surname is of pre 9th century Anglo-Saxon origin. It is found recorded in most English counties, but is mainly associated with the West Country. Generally the origination is topographical and describes one who lived by a prominent ''geat'' (gate), and probably the gate of a walled city or town. However the name can also be job descriptive for the keeper of the ''geat'', or locational for one who came from a place called Yate. As the surname ''Gate, Gayte or Gates'' is relatively common, and has the same meaning, Yate, Yates, Yeats, Yeates, and Yetts are dialectal, the original ''g'' in ''geat'' being pronounced as a ''y''. The name is first recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Charters of 779 as ''aet Gete'', however this is purely descriptive and in no way a hereditary surname. These were much later, and date usually from the 11th century, and never before the Norman Conquest of 1066. The earliest true recordings as a surname include those of Philip del Yate in the piperolls of Cheshire for the year 1260, and Robert atte Yates in the Assize Rolls of Norfolk in 1344. Rather later examples are those of Edwarde Yates who married Jane Atkinson at Thirsk, Yorkshire, on September 13th 1583, Lawrence Yate of Nether Darwen, Cheshire in 1606, and John Yeats, who married Ann Davis at St Georges Chapel, Hanover Square, London in 1753. ''Mr Yates'' is recorded in the records of ''Elizabeth Cittie, Virginea'' in February 1624, making him one of the earliest settlers to the American Colonies.

Amusement park and theme park are terms for a group of rides and other entertainment attractions assembled for the purpose of entertaining a large group of people. An amusement park is more elaborate than a simple city park or playground, usually providing attractions meant to cater to children, teenagers, and adults.

Amusement parks evolved in Europe from fairs and pleasure gardens which were created for people’s recreation. The oldest amusement park of the world is Bakken, at Klampenborg, north of Copenhagen, Denmark. In the United States, world''s fairs and expositions were another influence on development of the amusement park industry.

Most amusement parks have a fixed location, as compared to traveling funfairs and carnivals. These temporary types of amusement parks, are usually present for a few days or weeks per year, such as funfairs in the United Kingdom, and carnivals and fairs in the United States. The temporary nature of these fairs helps to convey the feeling that people are in a different place or time.
1. leisure, leisure time, time off
usage: time available for ease and relaxation; "his job left him little leisure"
2. leisure, rest, ease, repose, relaxation
usage: freedom to choose a pastime or enjoyable activity; "he lacked the leisure for golf"

peterlee

Peterlee is a new town in County Durham, England. Founded in 1948, Peterlee town originally mostly housed coal miners.

Peterlee has strong economic and community ties with Sunderland and Hartlepool.
The case for Peterlee was put forth vigorously in Farewell Squalor by Easington Rural District Council Surveyor C.W. Clarke, who also proposed that the town was named after the celebrated Durham miners'' leader Peter Lee. Peterlee is unique among the new towns which came into being after the Second World War in that it was the only one requested by the people through their MP – though whether a majority of the people living in the surrounding colliery villages actually wanted it to be built is disputable. It can be argued that the building of Peterlee was at the expense of such nearby colliery villages as Thornley and Wheatley Hill where development was deliberately suppressed by the local council in favour of the new town. The colliery village of Horden has, however, suffered perhaps more; its proximity to Peterlee has seen it lose all of its major services, including police and fire stations to the new town.

Peterlee is served by two main roads, The A19 runs to the west of the town leading to Sunderland in the north and Teesside in the south, the A1086 runs to the east of the town leading to Easington in the north and Hartlepool to the south. The B1320 runs through the town centre linking the town to Horden and the A1086 in the east and Shotton Colliery and the A19 in the west. The B1432 runs north from the town centre to Easington Village, Hawthorn and Seaham on the route of the old A19.
Peterlee is served by Arriva North East and Go North East who provide services around the town the surrounding villages and to the following towns and cities: Newcastle, Gateshead, South Shields, Sunderland, Houghton-le-Spring, Durham, Hartlepool, Sedgefield, Newton Aycliffe, Billingham, Stockton, Thornaby, Middlesbrough, Darlington; there is also a bus to the MetroCentre. Other bus operators include Scarlett Band who run services to Spennymoor and Bishop Auckland.
