Castle House in Bridgwater, Somerset, England was built in 1851 for William Ackerman. Much of the building is made of brick but it was one of the first buildings to make extensive use of Portland cement for pre-cast concrete. It has been designated as a Grade II * listed building. The building includes many ornamental, and some structural uses of concrete demonstrating "an innovative interpretation of traditional masonry features in concrete". Castle House was a finalist in the 2nd BBC television series Restoration in 2004 and was supported by friends of Joe Strummer. It is included in the Heritage at Risk Register produced by English Heritage, and English Heritage provided funding for the restoration project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.savebritainsheritage.org/news/campaign.php?id=82 )〕 In 2012 a grant of £300,000 was made by NNB Generation Company (part of Électricité de France) as part of monies paid to the local community for the development of Hinkley Point C nuclear power station to the SAVE Trust for the restoration of Castle House. It is planned to transfer the building to the Bridgwater carnival once restoration is complete.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.andrewlloydwebberfoundation.com/AHF2012 )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Castle House, Bridgwater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
