Haughmond Abbey and Mysterious Sundorne Castle - Shrewsbury History in Slides
Haughmond Abbey and Mysterious Sundorne Castle.
We inform viewers about the historic former Augustinian abbey at Haughmond Hill, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, it was extended in the 13th and 14th centuries.
Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries part of it was converted into a mansion, and after the Civil War (1642–1651), it became a farm.
Only ruins remain, the most substantial parts being parts of the infirmary and the abbot's lodging, the latter with a large three-sided bay window. Only the foundation stones of the church have survived.
Other remains include part of the cloister walls, three arches from the chapter house, and three chimneys from the kitchen.
From Haughmond Abbey, not far away downhill toward the outskirts of Shrewsbury some people are intrigued to see another castle.
Sundorne Castle, a more modern country house that has been demolished.
It looks mysterious to many onlookers because a number of structures associated with the house have survived.
Other listed buildings include houses, cottages, farmhouses and farm buildings, in the nearby village of in Uffington, Shropshire.
The earliest of these are timber framed, there's also a pump in an enclosure, and a church.

I have used the following to edit and make this video...
First of all I use the following apps to help make this video. Which for any upcoming & skint YouTuber is a must have.
•VN - VN is a fantastic video editing app which you can use via Google Play Store & Apple ITUNES store. It is free to download, easy to use and it has some amazing features to help your videos stand out.
•CapCut - CapCut is another fantastic editing app which is also free via the Google Play Store. It is quick and easy to use.
• Mixkit - Mixkit is a great website for the upcoming or skit YouTuber such as myself who has no money to spend on things like music.. They have some fantastic music and it is very much worth a look!
• YouTube Studio - YouTube studio is the one of the best apps I use to edit and control my content on YouTube. Again like the rest it is free via the app stores.
•Photoshop Express, Photoshop Mix & Adobe Lightroom - These apps are my life! These help edit my photographs. I use them to create my thumbnails and posts onto Instagram.

Here is the equipment I use...
•GoPro Hero 8 - The GoPro Hero 8 is a amazing camera, it shoots in 1080p and has several cool features which I have not utilised yet. Prices do start at over £200 however if you sharp you can get one on Amazon on one of their deals (that's how I got mine which came in a bundle).
• SONY Camera - The Sony packs a punch! Great resolution & zoom for the beginner photographer, it also comes equipped with a movie button which records HD footage. A must have for a photographer.
• Samsung S20 Note Ultra - The Samsung S20 Note Ultra is my phone. It never leaves my side, it is fast, got a great camera and has amazing editing tools and it even comes with a built in stylus.
• Samsung S6 Lite - Another Samsung product but one that is very under-rated... The Samsung S6 Lite Tablet is fast, easy to use & has incredible battery life. It is the main tool for editing all of my videos. None of my YouTube videos (at the moment) are edited with a PC. So I would highly recommend this tablet!

Bahrain International Circuit in Manama, Bahrain
The Bahrain International Circuit is a motorsport venue opened in 2004 and used for drag racing, GP2 Series and the annual Bahrain Grand Prix. The 2004 Grand Prix was the first held in the Middle East. Beginning in 2006, Australian V8 Supercars raced at the BIC, with the event known as the Desert 400. However, the V8 Supercars did not return for the 2011 V8 Supercar season. 24 Hour endurance races are also hosted at BIC. The circuit has a FIA Grade 1 license.
A top-class racing circuit located in the middle of sand dunes in near desert conditions doesn't seem very likely, yet this is precisely what the Bahrain International Circuit delivers.
As with many of the Gulf state motor racing venues, BIC owes its existence to royal connections; Crown Prince Sheikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa is a motorsport enthusiast and honorary president of the Bahrain Motor Federation. Gaining an F1 race thus became a national objective and the construction of a suitable circuit was ordered, with funding from government-backed investment companies.
Hermann Tilke was brought on board to design a multi-layout facility and construction started in late 2002, in time for an inaugural grand prix in 2004. In truth, the circuit still needed some finishing touches (indeed, the organisers tried unsuccessfully to persuade Bernie Ecclestone to postpone the event until a year later) but these were in place when the GP circus made their second visit in 2005.
Tilke designed a circuit with several lengthy straights, connected by medium and slow speed sections, putting a premium on a setup with good traction. Fortunately, the track surface (imported at great expense from a quarry in Shropshire, England) has proved to be high in grip, boosted by efforts to spray the outer confines of the circuit with adhesive to keep the sand in place. Nevertheless, sweeping is a regular activity between track sessions.
The high ambient temperatures mean that spectating is confined to the main grandstand, which is designed to protect racegoers from the worst of the desert sun.
A variety of layouts have seen active use. Formula One has used both the Grand Prix and the Endurance variants, though the latter was only tried once in 2010 in what was deemed an unsuccessful attempt to spice up the show. The visiting V8 Supercars ran their Desert 400 race on the Paddock course for the first three years, before trying the Grand Prix circuit on the event's swansong in 2010. GP2 and the Porsche Supercup have been regulars on the GP undercard but rather unusually take advantage of the separate pit and paddock facilities usually used by the Inner loop.
The circuit was designed by German architect Hermann Tilke, the same architect who designed the Sepang circuit in Malaysia. The main contractor for the project was Cebarco-WCT. The circuit cost approximately 56.2 million Bahraini Dinars (equal to US$150 million) to construct. It has six separate tracks, including a test oval and a drag strip.
The circuit posed a unique problem. Positioned in the middle of a desert, there were worries that sand would blow onto the circuit and disrupt the race. However, organizers were able to keep the sand off the track by spraying an adhesive on the sand around the track.
The surface of the track is made of graywacke aggregate, shipped to Bahrain from Bayston Hill quarry in Shropshire, England. The surface material is highly acclaimed by circuit bosses and Formula 1 drivers for the high level of grip it offers. The same aggregate material is used at the Yas Marina Circuit for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
