Holywood Railway Station (Northern Ireland)
Holywood railway station serves Holywood in County Down, Northern Ireland. History The Belfast and County Down Railway (B&CDR) opened the line between Queen's Quay, Belfast and Holywood on 2 August 1848. Holywood was a terminus until May 1865, when the Belfast, Holywood and Bangor Railway (BH&BR) opened from Holywood to Bangor. In 1859 the B&CDR sold its Holywood branch to the BH&BR, with the result that Holywood station came under BH&BR management. However, the B&CDR leased the BH&BR line from 1878 and took it over in 1884, which meant that Holywood station returned to its original management and ownership. When BH&BR opened in 1865 it was single track. In response to increased traffic the B&CDR doubled the track in stages between 1897 and 1902. In 1911 Holywood station handled passenger and parcel traffic, while its goods yard offered facilities for goods, general livestock, horses and prize cattle. Carriages could be conveyed by passenger train. The Ulster Transport Author ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Holywood was the site of a Premonstratensian abbey which was established in 1225 and dissolved in 1609. The abbey was dismantled and used to build the parish church in 1778.

Holy Wood (novel)
''Holy Wood'' is an unpublished novel by Marilyn Manson, written between 1999 and 2000 (although Manson has claimed to have been writing selections since 1995). Initially envisioned as a companion piece to the album ''Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)'', it remained unreleased after a series of delays, alleged by Manson to have been caused by a "publishing war". Plot Describing the plot of the novel itself, Manson said: "The whole story, if you take it from the beginning, is parallel to my own, but just told in metaphors and different symbols that I thought other people could draw from. It's about being innocent and naive, much like Adam was in Paradise before they fall from grace. And seeing something like Hollywood, which I used as a metaphor to represent what people think is the perfect world, and it's about wanting — your whole life — to fit into this world that doesn't think you belong, that doesn't like you, that beats you down every step of th ...

Holy Wood (In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death)
''Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)'' is the fourth studio album by American rock band Marilyn Manson. It was released on November 11, 2000, by Nothing and Interscope Records. A rock opera concept album, it is the final installment of a triptych that also included ''Antichrist Superstar'' (1996), and marked a return to the industrial metal style of the band's earlier work, after the glam rock-influenced production of ''Mechanical Animals'' (1998). After its release, the band's eponymous vocalist said that the overarching story within the trilogy is presented in reverse chronological order: ''Holy Wood'', therefore, begins the narrative. In the aftermath of the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999, national news media reported that the perpetrators were wearing the band's T-shirts during the rampage, and had been influenced by their music. As their first release after the massacre, the record was Manson's rebuttal to the accusations leveled against ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
