St Albans
Coordinates: 51°45′18″N 0°20′10″W / 51.755°N 0.336°W / 51.755; -0.336
St Albans /sənt ˈɔːlbənz/, /seɪn.../ is a city in Hertfordshire, England, east of Hemel Hempstead and west of Hatfield about 19 miles (31 km) north-northwest of London, 8 miles (13 km) southwest of Welwyn Garden City, and 11 miles (18 km) south-southeast of Luton. St Albans was the first major town on the old Roman road of Watling Street for travellers heading north and became the Roman city of Verulamium. It is a historic market town and is now a dormitory town within the London commuter belt and the Greater London Built-up Area.
Toponymy
Saint Alban, the first British Christian martyr, was possibly beheaded in 308 CE by Maximian on the orders of Emperor Diocletian, who had denounced Christianity and ordered the deaths of all subjects and allies of the Roman Empire who refused to give up the faith. Saint Alban consequently gave the city its modern name.
St Albans has two official demonyms: Verulamian & Albanian. St Albans was a settlement of pre-Roman origin named Verlamion (or Verulam) by the Ancient British Catuvellauni tribe.

St. Albans (LIRR station)
St. Albans is a station on the Long Island Rail Road's West Hempstead Branch located in St. Albans, Queens, New York City. It is officially located on the southwest corner of Linden Boulevard & Montauk Place, although the segment of Montauk Place that once intersected with Linden Boulevard has been abandoned and fenced off.
History
In 1872, the Long Island Rail Road's Cedarhurst Cut-off was built through the area, but no stop appears here on the first timetables. Saint Albans Station was built on July 1, 1898, and originally appeared on maps with the name of Locust Avenue (the same name as the station at the other end of what is now called Baisley Boulevard). The station was razed in 1935 as part of a grade elimination project. The current elevated structure was opened either on October 22 or October 23, 1935.
Station layout
This station has one six-car-long island platform between the two tracks with two entrances. The north staircase goes down to the south side of Linden Boulevard between Newburg and 180th Street while the south staircase goes down to a short tunnel leading to the dead-end street of Foch Boulevard.

St. Albans (town), Vermont
¬
St. Albans is a town in Franklin County, Vermont, in the United States. The population was 6,392 at the 2010 census. The town completely surrounds the city of St. Albans.
History
The town was named for St Albans, England.
On October 19, 1864, St. Albans was the site of the St. Albans Raid, the northernmost Confederate land action of the American Civil War, which was basically, an enemy cavalry raid and bank robbery across the border from Quebec, Canada. The town of St. Albans and the city of St. Albans were separated in 1902. References to "St. Albans" prior to this date generally refer to the town center, which now belongs to the city. The town was incorporated in 1859, and the city in 1902.
Henri Le Caron, who, while acting as a secret agent of the British government, held the position of "Inspector-General of the Irish Republican Army," asserts that he distributed fifteen thousand stands of arms and almost three million rounds of ammunition in the care of the many trusted men stationed between New York and St. Albans, in preparation for the unsuccessful Fenian raid on Canada which took place in April 1870. United States General George Meade, forewarned, captured much of these munitions as they arrived.

Winchester Guild Hall - Splendid Victorian Building - Capital of Wessex
The site of the new Guildhall was previously occupied by St Mary's Abbey and came under crown control on the dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530s: it was then gifted by Queen Mary to the City of Salisbury in gratitude for the city's support in securing her marriage to King Philip of Spain in 1554. The foundation stone was laid by the former Speaker of the House of Commons, Viscount Eversley on 22 December 1871. The new building was designed by Jeffery and Skiller in the Gothic Revival style and built by Joseph Bull & Sons. The design for the central section involved a flight of steps leading up to an arcaded entrance on the first floor, three mullion windows on the second floor with a tall clock tower above flanked by angle pavilions; the tower contained a quarter-chiming cloc...

The Story of London's Street Names
Warning: This video contains the kind of bad language you might expect from medieval Londoners from the beginning. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/culturalorigins P.S. Coneys at 9:17 were rabbits, not chickens. Have you ever wondered how a street got its name? London is full of interesting and colourful street names, from Pissing Alley to Paradise Walk, but most London street names come under one of four categories: Descriptive, possessive, topical, or advertising. Within these are a number of subcategories which account for all the weird and wonderful names London has to offer. To get a better understanding of how London’s streets were named, and if you’re interested in worldbuilding, to get an idea of how you could approach naming your own fictional city’s streets, go ahead and watc...

Jermyn Street Christmas Lights, London, 23rd Nov 2018
A walk along Jermyn Street, London (23rd Nov 2018), to see the annual Christmas Lights. Jermyn Street dates back to 1664 when Charles II authorised Henry Jermyn, the Earl of St Albans, to develop an area close to St James's Palace. It has flourished ever since with its world-renowned reputation as the centre for gentlemen's fashion, especially bespoke shirts. The statue @03:26 is of Beau Brummell (7th June 1778 – 30th March 1840) who was an important figure in Regency England and for many years 'the arbiter of men's fashion'. The music is Julian Avila - Foreign. Equipment used: Panasonic LX15/10. Copyright (c) Blutey 2018

初代セント・オールバンズ伯爵ヘンリー・ジャーミン（ピーター・レリー画） 初代セント・オールバンズ伯爵ヘンリー・ジャーミン（英：Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of Saint Albans, KG, 1605年3月25日（洗礼日） - 1684年1月）は、清教徒革命（イングランド内戦）期から王政復古期にかけてのイングランドの貴族・廷臣。
サフォークのラッシュブルークでチャールズ1世の副宮内長官となるサー・トマス・ジャーミンとキャサリン・キリグリュー夫妻の4人の子のうち、生き残った2番目の子として誕生。
1605年3月25日にロンドン・セント・マーガレット・ロスバリーで受洗。
1625年にボドミン選挙区から庶民院議員に選出、翌1626年に再選。
1628年はリヴァプール選挙区から選出、チャールズ1世の王妃ヘンリエッタ・マリア・オブ・フランスの信頼を獲得し、同年に王妃の副宮内長官になり、1639年には主馬頭になった。
1640年4月の短期議会では兄弟のトマスと共にコーフ城選挙区から選出、11月の長期議会はバリー・セント・エドマンズ選挙区から選出、熱心な王党派として活動したが、1641年に軍を使い議会をクーデターで制圧する計画（陸軍陰謀事件）に関わったことが発覚、フランスへ亡命した。
しかし2年後の1643年、第一次イングランド内戦の最中に帰国、ヘンリエッタ・マリアの秘書として再出仕した。
王妃の信頼は厚く小部隊の指揮と武器購入を任され、王妃の懇願を聞き入れた国王チャールズ1世により、7月13日にジャーミン男爵に叙爵され貴族に昇格した。
また王妃が提案したカトリックのアイルランド・カトリック同盟と国王の休戦提案をジョージ・ディグビーと共に支持していた。
1644年にヘンリエッタ・マリアと共にフランスへ亡命、以後パリに留まった。
亡命中はフランスとオランダから軍事支援を得たい王妃の意向でフランス宰相ジュール・マザランやオランダ総督フレデリック・ヘンドリックと交渉したが、どちらからも拒否され成功しなかった。
また王妃や他の顧問官共々スコットランド国民盟約（盟約派）と国王の和睦を願っていたが、盟約を拒む国王から和睦反対の手紙を送られた。
やがて1649年にチャールズ1世が議会派に処刑されると王妃に報告、後から亡命したチャールズ王太子（後のチャールズ2世）とも連絡を取り合い、貧困に苦しむ王家のためフランス宮廷に資金援助を訴えたこともある。
1660年の王政復古で帰国、セント・オールバンズ伯爵に叙爵、1671年には宮内長官に任命されチャールズ2世の側近として働き、ドーヴァーの密約の事前交渉に当たった。
この間王妃の世話をしたといわれるが、彼女と関係があったともいう。
現在ロンドンの高級品店街として知られるジャーミン・ストリートはチャールズ2世から王妃の世話をした褒賞として与えられた土地で、それを含めセント・ジェームズ・スクエアもセント・オールバンズ伯が開発して生まれた道路に彼の名が付けられたものである。
エイブラハム・カウリーとウィリアム・ダヴェナントのパトロンでもあった。
1684年1月、セント・ジェームズ・スクエアで死去。
独身だったため1代でセント・オールバンズ伯位は消滅、ジャーミン男爵位は財産と共に甥のトマス・ジャーミンに継承、彼の死後はその弟でもう1人の甥ヘンリー・ジャーミンに受け継がれた。

The site of the new Guildhall was previously occupied by St Mary's Abbey and came under crown control on the dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530s: it was then gifted by Queen Mary to the City of Salisbury in gratitude for the city's support in securing her marriage to King Philip of Spain in 1554.
The foundation stone was laid by the former Speaker of the House of Commons, Viscount Eversley on 22 December 1871. The new building was designed by Jeffery and Skiller in the Gothic Revival style and built by Joseph Bull & Sons. The design for the central section involved a flight of steps leading up to an arcaded entrance on the first floor, three mullion windows on the second floor with a tall clock tower above flanked by angle pavilions; the tower contained a quarter-chiming clock by Gillett & Bland.Statues of local historical figures were erected on the front of the building at second floor level. It was officially opened by the Lord Chancellor, Earl of Selborne, on 18 May 1873.
An extension to the west of the original building, built to the designs of John Colson with a flint-work frontage, thereby creating a new banqueting facility, was added in 1893. The banqueting facility was subsequently renamed the King Charles Room. The guildhall, which was the meeting place of the municipal borough of Winchester continued to serve as the local seat of government after the enlarged City of Winchester was formed in 1974.
In June 2009, a large room in the guildhall was extensively refurbished with financial support from a legacy left by the Marchioness of Winchester; the money had been left on condition that it would be used to build a public hall in her honour, complete with a full-length portrait of her. In accordance with her wishes, the room was renamed the Bapsy Room in her honour and a huge portrait of her in her state robes by Frank Salisbury was given pride of place in the room.
When a portrait of King Charles I, hanging in the King Charles Room, was restored in 2017, it was revealed that the portrait was originally a depiction of Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of St Albans by Peter Lely which had been over-painted by another painter with an image of the King. Other paintings in the King Charles Room include a portrait of King Charles II, also by Peter Lely, and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Edward Halliday. In the stairwell there is a painting of the children of Charles Paulet, 13th Marquess of Winchester by Thomas Stewardson.

In accordance with her wishes, the room was renamed the Bapsy Room in her honour and a huge portrait of her in her state robes by Frank Salisbury was given pride of place in the room.
When a portrait of King Charles I, hanging in the King Charles Room, was restored in 2017, it was revealed that the portrait was originally a depiction of Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of St Albans by Peter Lely which had been over-painted by another painter with an image of the King. Other paintings in the King Charles Room include a portrait of King Charles II, also by Peter Lely, and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Edward Halliday. In the stairwell there is a painting of the children of Charles Paulet, 13th Marquess of Winchester by Thomas Stewardson.

P.S. Coneys at 9:17 were rabbits, not chickens.
Have you ever wondered how a street got its name? London is full of interesting and colourful street names, from Pissing Alley to Paradise Walk, but most London street names come under one of four categories: Descriptive, possessive, topical, or advertising. Within these are a number of subcategories which account for all the weird and wonderful names London has to offer. To get a better understanding of how London’s streets were named, and if you’re interested in worldbuilding, to get an idea of how you could approach naming your own fictional city’s streets, go ahead and watch the video.

**********************************ABOUT THE SERIES**************************************
Join me on my most ambitious project to date as I work towards creating the definitive list: London's 100 Most Beautiful Streets!
Want to find out what's going to take the number 1 spot? Subscribe and hit the notification bell to see the list develop: https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?sub_confirmation=1
Catch up on the series via the full playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkGuIHrWghpOd4uDR1jmS9nAjJtJY3ZL7
The genesis for the project came after a disappointing Google search for the 10 most beautiful streets in London. What did I find? Over a dozen blogs listing a bunch of unconvincing and mostly unimpressive "Instagrammable" streets from various tourists who simply don't know the city like a local does. Having lived and breathed London for 10 years across multiple bases (flats, jobs and... well, ex-girlfriends' flats) I feel a responsibility to show the world where the beauty really lies in the UK's capital.
The plan is as follows: upload 100 or more walks of streets which I feel belong on the list in no particular order. After this comes the challenge where I assemble them in order and present the list to the world.
Having sunk some serious hours in already, I have a shortlist of just over 100 streets for consideration. I must stress, if you have suggestions for streets you'd like to see then please discuss in the comments below. I respond to almost all comments! I will take likes/dislikes as a form of feedback as well, of course. Plus if you have friends and family who love London, by all means share the videos! I could use all the feedback I can get. :)
********************************************************************************************
Running parallel to Piccadilly, one block to the south in the St James district of central London is Jermyn Street.
Named after Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of St Albans, it has a history going back to the 1660s. It is typically associated with relatively upmarket clothing retailers. Notable former residents include Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Walter Scott.
Filmed: June 2020

A walk along Jermyn Street, London (23rd Nov 2018), to see the annual Christmas Lights.
Jermyn Street dates back to 1664 when Charles II authorised Henry Jermyn, the Earl of St Albans, to develop an area close to St James's Palace. It has flourished ever since with its world-renowned reputation as the centre for gentlemen's fashion, especially bespoke shirts.
The statue @03:26 is of Beau Brummell (7th June 1778 – 30th March 1840) who was an important figure in Regency England and for many years 'the arbiter of men's fashion'.
The music is Julian Avila - Foreign.

サフォークのラッシュブルークでチャールズ1世の副宮内長官となるサー・トマス・ジャーミンとキャサリン・キリグリュー夫妻の4人の子のうち、生き残った2番目の子として誕生。
1605年3月25日にロンドン・セント・マーガレット・ロスバリーで受洗。
1625年にボドミン選挙区から庶民院議員に選出、翌1626年に再選。
1628年はリヴァプール選挙区から選出、チャールズ1世の王妃ヘンリエッタ・マリア・オブ・フランスの信頼を獲得し、同年に王妃の副宮内長官になり、1639年には主馬頭になった。
1640年4月の短期議会では兄弟のトマスと共にコーフ城選挙区から選出、11月の長期議会はバリー・セント・エドマンズ選挙区から選出、熱心な王党派として活動したが、1641年に軍を使い議会をクーデターで制圧する計画（陸軍陰謀事件）に関わったことが発覚、フランスへ亡命した。
しかし2年後の1643年、第一次イングランド内戦の最中に帰国、ヘンリエッタ・マリアの秘書として再出仕した。
王妃の信頼は厚く小部隊の指揮と武器購入を任され、王妃の懇願を聞き入れた国王チャールズ1世により、7月13日にジャーミン男爵に叙爵され貴族に昇格した。
また王妃が提案したカトリックのアイルランド・カトリック同盟と国王の休戦提案をジョージ・ディグビーと共に支持していた。
1644年にヘンリエッタ・マリアと共にフランスへ亡命、以後パリに留まった。
亡命中はフランスとオランダから軍事支援を得たい王妃の意向でフランス宰相ジュール・マザランやオランダ総督フレデリック・ヘンドリックと交渉したが、どちらからも拒否され成功しなかった。
また王妃や他の顧問官共々スコットランド国民盟約（盟約派）と国王の和睦を願っていたが、盟約を拒む国王から和睦反対の手紙を送られた。
やがて1649年にチャールズ1世が議会派に処刑されると王妃に報告、後から亡命したチャールズ王太子（後のチャールズ2世）とも連絡を取り合い、貧困に苦しむ王家のためフランス宮廷に資金援助を訴えたこともある。
1660年の王政復古で帰国、セント・オールバンズ伯爵に叙爵、1671年には宮内長官に任命されチャールズ2世の側近として働き、ドーヴァーの密約の事前交渉に当たった。
この間王妃の世話をしたといわれるが、彼女と関係があったともいう。
現在ロンドンの高級品店街として知られるジャーミン・ストリートはチャールズ2世から王妃の世話をした褒賞として与えられた土地で、それを含めセント・ジェームズ・スクエアもセント・オールバンズ伯が開発して生まれた道路に彼の名が付けられたものである。
エイブラハム・カウリーとウィリアム・ダヴェナントのパトロンでもあった。
1684年1月、セント・ジェームズ・スクエアで死去。
独身だったため1代でセント・オールバンズ伯位は消滅、ジャーミン男爵位は財産と共に甥のトマス・ジャーミンに継承、彼の死後はその弟でもう1人の甥ヘンリー・ジャーミンに受け継がれた。

The site of the new Guildhall was previously occupied by St Mary's Abbey and came under crown control on the dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530s: it was then gifted by Queen Mary to the City of Salisbury in gratitude for the city's support in securing her marriage to King Philip of Spain in 1554.
The foundation stone was laid by the former Speaker of the House of Commons, Viscount Eversley on 22 December 1871. The new building was designed by Jeffery and Skiller in the Gothic Revival style and built by Joseph Bull & Sons. The design for the central section involved a flight of steps leading up to an arcaded entrance on the first floor, three mullion windows on the second floor with a tall clock tower above flanked by angle pavilions; the tower contained a quarter-chiming clock by Gillett & Bland.Statues of local historical figures were erected on the front of the building at second floor level. It was officially opened by the Lord Chancellor, Earl of Selborne, on 18 May 1873.
An extension to the west of the original building, built to the designs of John Colson with a flint-work frontage, thereby creating a new banqueting facility, was added in 1893. The banqueting facility was subsequently renamed the King Charles Room. The guildhall, which was the meeting place of the municipal borough of Winchester continued to serve as the local seat of government after the enlarged City of Winchester was formed in 1974.
In June 2009, a large room in the guildhall was extensively refurbished with financial support from a legacy left by the Marchioness of Winchester; the money had been left on condition that it would be used to build a public hall in her honour, complete with a full-length portrait of her. In accordance with her wishes, the room was renamed the Bapsy Room in her honour and a huge portrait of her in her state robes by Frank Salisbury was given pride of place in the room.
When a portrait of King Charles I, hanging in the King Charles Room, was restored in 2017, it was revealed that the portrait was originally a depiction of Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of St Albans by Peter Lely which had been over-painted by another painter with an image of the King. Other paintings in the King Charles Room include a portrait of King Charles II, also by Peter Lely, and a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Edward Halliday. In the stairwell there is a painting of the children of Charles Paulet, 13th Marquess of Winchester by Thomas Stewardson.

Have you ever wondered how a street got its name? London is full of interesting and colourful street names, from Pissing Alley to Paradise Walk, but most London street names come under one of four categories: Descriptive, possessive, topical, or advertising. Within these are a number of subcategories which account for all the weird and wonderful names London has to offer. To get a better understanding of how London’s streets were named, and if you’re interested in worldbuilding, to get an idea of how you could approach naming your own fictional city’s streets, go ahead and watch the video.

**********************************ABOUT THE SERIES**************************************
Join me on my most ambitious project to date as I work towards creating the definitive list: London's 100 Most Beautiful Streets!
Want to find out what's going to take the number 1 spot? Subscribe and hit the notification bell to see the list develop: https://www.youtube.com/4KExplorer?sub_confirmation=1
Catch up on the series via the full playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkGuIHrWghpOd4uDR1jmS9nAjJtJY3ZL7
The genesis for the project came after a disappointing Google search for the 10 most beautiful streets in London. What did I find? Over a dozen blogs listing a bunch of unconvincing and mostly unimpressive "Instagrammable" streets from various tourists who simply don't know the city like a local does. Having lived and breathed London for 10 years across multiple bases (flats, jobs and... well, ex-girlfriends' flats) I feel a responsibility to show the world where the beauty really lies in the UK's capital.
The plan is as follows: upload 100 or more walks of streets which I feel belong on the list in no particular order. After this comes the challenge where I assemble them in order and present the list to the world.
Having sunk some serious hours in already, I have a shortlist of just over 100 streets for consideration. I must stress, if you have suggestions for streets you'd like to see then please discuss in the comments below. I respond to almost all comments! I will take likes/dislikes as a form of feedback as well, of course. Plus if you have friends and family who love London, by all means share the videos! I could use all the feedback I can get. :)
********************************************************************************************
Running parallel to Piccadilly, one block to the south in the St James district of central London is Jermyn Street.
Named after Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of St Albans, it has a history going back to the 1660s. It is typically associated with relatively upmarket clothing retailers. Notable former residents include Sir Isaac Newton and Sir Walter Scott.

A walk along Jermyn Street, London (23rd Nov 2018), to see the annual Christmas Lights.
Jermyn Street dates back to 1664 when Charles II authorised Henry Jermyn, the Earl of St Albans, to develop an area close to St James's Palace. It has flourished ever since with its world-renowned reputation as the centre for gentlemen's fashion, especially bespoke shirts.
The statue @03:26 is of Beau Brummell (7th June 1778 – 30th March 1840) who was an important figure in Regency England and for many years 'the arbiter of men's fashion'.
The music is Julian Avila - Foreign.
Equipment used: Panasonic LX15/10.

St Albans
Coordinates: 51°45′18″N 0°20′10″W / 51.755°N 0.336°W / 51.755; -0.336
St Albans /sənt ˈɔːlbənz/, /seɪn.../ is a city in Hertfordshire, England, east of Hemel Hempstead and west of Hatfield about 19 miles (31 km) north-northwest of London, 8 miles (13 km) southwest of Welwyn Garden City, and 11 miles (18 km) south-southeast of Luton. St Albans was the first major town on the old Roman road of Watling Street for travellers heading north and became the Roman city of Verulamium. It is a historic market town and is now a dormitory town within the London commuter belt and the Greater London Built-up Area.
Toponymy
Saint Alban, the first British Christian martyr, was possibly beheaded in 308 CE by Maximian on the orders of Emperor Diocletian, who had denounced Christianity and ordered the deaths of all subjects and allies of the Roman Empire who refused to give up the faith. Saint Alban consequently gave the city its modern name.
St Albans has two official demonyms: Verulamian & Albanian. St Albans was a settlement of pre-Roman origin named Verlamion (or Verulam) by the Ancient British Catuvellauni tribe.

St. Albans
by: Broken Family BandTonight you hit Saint Albans
With snot hanging out of your nose
But you don't find out til the hotel,
When you go to change your clothes
You know you're filthy
but you don't have time to shower
Cause you have to meet that Polish girl
You don't even have the sense to get her flowers
You turn up at the café
There's a bloke sat at her side
And you know that something's different 'cause
She looks like someone's died
Still you try to keep it friendly
And imagine you're together, in your head
But the bloke keeps chipping in about
Whatever she just said
No one wants to know you in this town
It's a place that doesn't need you around
Saint Albans wants you to drown
Tomorrow you'll be focused
And heading for the future
With a new-found sense of optimism that
Doesn't fucking suit you
But anything could happen
From one day and the next
And you're only in Saint Albans
Because you thought you were having sex
No one wants to fuck you in this town
It's a place that doesn't lead you around
