2: Richmond, North Yorkshire Richmond was founded by the Normans 400 years before there was a Richmond in Surrey, and their castle still dominates the town's clustered hillside homes. The town also has a delightful
Georgian theatre/not perhaps the most comfortable in the country, but certainly the most authentic'. In a neighbouring park there is the unusual and rarely seen Culloden Tower built in 1717 in the Gothick style. Also in the Gothick style, but 100 years later, is Richmond's railway station, closed in 1963 but now a thriving garden centre - 'a shining example of what enterprise and imagination can do to save an excellent building no longer required for its original purpose.'

12.0 Instrumentation: Position Transducers and Counting
The moire fringes you see when lace curtains move across each other or when a television presenter wears a herringbone-pattern shirt are actually used to measure movement with great accuracy. The inventor of the moire fringe counter, the late
Dr L. Sayce, illustrates the method.

12.25 Public Place and Private Space
When middle-class families lived 'over the shop', women played a part in business. With the drift to the suburbs, domestic and commercial life were separated. The public world excluded women, and this divide is reflected in architecture and town planning.
