The first patents for polythene were registered in 1936, and a year later the first practical use for the material, as a film, was discovered. The material initially proved difficult to manufacture in quantity however, due to problems of providing the required conditions of high temperature and pressure.

Crowd by the Caedmon Cross, Whitby, 1898.

Medal commemorating Montgolfier balloon flight at Lyon, France, 1784.
Medal struck to commemorate the flight of 'Le Flesselles', at Lyon which carried seven people on 19 January 1784. The Montgolfier brothers named the balloon 'Le Flesselles' in honour of the Governor of Lyons who had sponsored the project. It was 131 feet high and 104 feet in diameter with a capacity of more than 700,000 cubic feet. The ascent was watched by over 100,000 people. The balloon reached a height of 3000 feet before a large tear in the fabric resulted in a rapid descent which left the seven aeronauts shaken but unhurt. The design shows the allegorical figure of Genius riding on a lion and writing on a tablet. The inscription reads: 'Que ne peut le Genie' (What can Genius not achieve). To the left is the launch gantry with the balloon above. Design by Nicolas-Marie Gatteaux (1751-1832).

Maen Huail stone in Ruthin, Denbishire, where King Arthur is said to have beheaded Huail, brother of Gildas.
Tradition tells that Arthur and a man named Huail had affection for the same lady and fought a duel. Arthur was injured and Huail swore never to mention this event under the pain of death. Sometime later Arthur was dancing with a women in Ruthin and Huail, watching on, said: "The dancing would be alright were it not for the limp". Incensed that Huail had broken his vow not to mention this injury in public, Arthur had him beheaded on a nearby stone. This stone became known as Maen Huail (the stone of Huail) and can still be seen today on the square in Ruthin.
