Rent is a rock opera with music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson based on Giacomo Puccini's opera La bohème. Centering on the lives of a group of 8 friends, Rent tells many different stories at once. The musical focuses on the troubles of gay people in New York. Some of the other major focuses of the musical include drug addiction and the fight against AIDS. The play is much closer to an opera than a musical in format. Very little non-singing dialogue happens throughout the show, with even trivial pieces of information and exposition being sung. The music ranges from slow ballads to hard-rock influenced conflict songs, yet keeps in mind its operatic roots. Rent is the Ninth-longest-running Broadway show and has won countless awards including 4 Tony’s. Main characters • Mark Cohen---Baritone/Tenor—Playing age 20-30 • A struggling Jewish documentary filmmaker, the narrator of the show. He is Roger's and Collins's roommate until Collins moves out; he is also Maureen's ex-boyfriend. • Roger Davis--- Tenor—Playing age 20-30 • A once successful, but now, struggling musician who is HIV positive and an "ex-junkie."

Neuwied is a town in the north of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, capital of the District of Neuwied. Neuwied lies on the right bank of the Rhine, 12 km northwest of Koblenz, on the railway from Frankfurt am Main to Cologne. The town has 13 suburban administrative districts: Heimbach-Weis, Gladbach, Engers, Oberbieber, Niederbieber, Torney, Segendorf, Altwied, Block, Irlich, Feldkirchen, Heddesdorf, and Rodenbach. The largest is Heimbach-Weis, with approximately 8000 inhabitants. Founded by Count Frederick of Wied in 1653, Neuwied was located near the village of Langendorf, destroyed during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). It grew rapidly due to its religious toleration. Among those who sought refuge here was a colony of Moravian Brethren. Near Neuwied, one of the largest Roman castra on the Rhine has been excavated by archeologists. In April 1797 the French, under General Louis Lazare Hoche, defeated the Austrians near Neuwied, this being their first decisive success in the French Revolutionary Wars. Neuwied is the native town of paternal ancestors of John D. Rockefeller, traced to the 16th century and possible French Huguenot refugees. His father's line emigrated to the North American colonies, arriving in New York in 1710, the year of a massive immigration of nearly 2800 Palatine Germans, whose transportation of refugees from London was paid by Queen Anne's government of England. Neuwied was also the birth town of William of Wied, who briefly held the title of King of Albania in 1914.

The Lickey Incline & Bromsgrove MPD

The Lickey Incline & Bromsgrove MPD

8, Railway Treeace, Derby ,
Built: 24 Jun 1840 Closed: 27 Sep 1964 Company: Birmingham & Gloucester Railway Location: Worcestershire Located on the east side of Bromsgrove station at the foot of the 1:37 Lickey Incline. Map Ref:SO96846926 Construction: Originally it was a brick built 1 track straight dead-ended shed with a gable style slate roof. Facilities: Included a water tank fed from a bore hole through pipework inside the depot. In c1845 a brick built 2 track straight shed with 1 through road and a gable style slate roof was constructed along the northern wall. Sometime later a turntable was added. In 1892 the turntable was removed. A larger one was subsequently constructed further south to the rear of Bromsgrove South signal box. In 1951 the gable ends were rebuilt and the shed re-roofed. The depot’s original code was 4A. It was recoded 21C in 1934, a number which it retained until being changed to 85F upon transfer to the Western Region of BR in 1958 following regional boundary changes. It was again recoded, to 85D, in January 1961. After Sep 1964 the area was used for wagon storage. Demolition: 1982. The site was developed as a housing estate. The depot was responsible for maintaining and servicing the Stud of Banking Loco's. At one time this had included the unique Midland Railway Fowler designed 0-10-0 banking locomotive “Big Bertha” (No. 58100 in BR days), which, except for a brief period of trial on the Midland Main Line, spent its whole life allocated to Bromsgrove from new in 1919 (when it was numbered 2290) until withdrawn from service in 1956. For a short time, Big Bertha was joined by another giant of steam, Nigel Gresley’s 2-8-8-2 Garratt No. 69999, rendered redundant from its banking duties on the Worsborough incline. This ex-LNER Garratt was at Bromsgrove from March 1949 until November 1950 and again briefly in 1955. Following Big Bertha’s withdrawal, the “big engine” at Bromsgrove was always a BR 9F 2-10-0; initially 92079, which, until its first overall at Swindon, carried the headlamp from 58100. In late 1964 the Steam depot closed after nearly 130 years of service and the Steam bankers were replaced by several BR Class 37 locomotives; in turn these were replaced by Class 35 Hymeks but these lasted just a few years until their withdrawal (with other WR Hydraulics) and the Class 37’s returned. In the years before bankers were finally withdrawn, Class 56, 58, 60 and occasional 47's were used. Final withdrawal of Footplate staff took place in 1988 when locomotives were deployed from Saltley depot, only going to Bromsgrove when required.
