The village of Portmeirion, Gwynedd, Wales, was built in a surreal, Italianate style between 1925 and 1975. It served as 'The Village' in the cult 1960s TV programme, The Prisoner. This show featured a man - Number 6 - being chased by a large white balloon, constantly insisting he was not a number, and clashing with authoritarian figures such as Elizabeth I and Napoleon. Portmeirion has also featured in Dr Who, Citizen Smith, and in a music video for Siouxsie and the Banshees, which featured clips from The Prisoner. #TV#Architecture #weird #gothic #history#Wales #folklore #psychogeography

“A handful of letters scattered in archives in Castellón, Paris, New York, and California reveal the existence of a vast and intricate international network of anti-fascist librarians who, during the Spanish postwar period, collaborated from different parts of the world, providing aid to Republican intellectuals interned in French concentration camps.”

Well New York City really has is all oh yeah, oh yeah
