Philip Cogan
Philip Cogan (1750 – 3 February 1833) was an Irish composer, pianist, and conductor. Biography Cogan was born in Cork, where he was a choirboy and vicar choral at St Fin Barre's Cathedral. In 1772, he was appointed a stipendiary at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, but left the post a few months later due to ill health. From 1780 to 1806 he was organist at St Patrick's Cathedral. He also conducted the orchestras of the Smock Alley and Crow Street theatres "to the detriment of his church duties".Ita Beausang: "Cogan, Philip", in: ''The Encyclopaedia of Music in Ireland'', ed. H. White & B. Boydell (Dublin: UCD Press, 2013), pp. 212–3. In fact, Cogan's compositions for the stage outnumber those for the church by far. He not only wrote operas himself (''The Rape of Proserpine'', 1776; ''The Ruling Passion'', 1778; etc.), but also collaborated with other Dublin composers, as in ''The Contract'' (1782, with John Andrew Stevenson, Tommaso Giordani, and one Laurent).

Cogan Railway Station
Cogan railway station is a railway station serving Cogan in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales. It is on the Vale of Glamorgan Line south of Cardiff Central on the way to Barry Island and Bridgend. Passenger services are operated by Transport for Wales as part of the Valley Lines network. History The current platforms were constructed in 1888, but until 1968 Cogan had two additional and separate platforms on the other side of the main Windsor Road, opened twenty years earlier in 1878 on the Penarth and Sully branch line, which extended from the Cogan Junction points around the coastline through Lavernock and Sully to where it rejoined the main line at Cadoxton. That through link was closed in 1968, and the line now terminates at Penarth. Dingle Road Halt and Penarth station remain open, but the two platforms at Cogan were closed when the line was reduced to a single-track spur.

Cogan, Vale Of Glamorgan
Cogan is a suburb of Penarth in the Vale of Glamorgan, Wales south of the centre of the Welsh capital city of Cardiff. Cogan contains one of the vale's four major leisure centres. History Cogan Pill The area that would become Cogan was known as Cogan Pill for much of its history. The pil (a tidal inlet, used as a harbour) lay within the commote of Dinas Powys and joined into the River Ely near today's Pont y Werin footbridge. The Pîl is no longer extant, having been developed into the Penarth Dock in the nineteenth century. The importance of the Pîl is however, still evident by its impact on the local toponymy, with Pill Street, Cogan Pill Road and the Cogan Pill House all being named for it. Cogan Pill House Maps of the Cogan area before the 1850s invariably mark the Cogan Pill and Cogan Pill House, but it is unclear when this house (now known as The Baron's Court) was first built. The historian David King suggested the site as a possible location for an earlier castle ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
