	history of peel
		Peel is situated roughly halfway along the west coast of the Isle of Man, sheltered to the north by the rocky St. Patrick's Isle and to the west by Peel Hill.
		Peel Castle was garrisoned as the administrative centre of the Northside of the Island, with Castle Rushen controlling the Southside.
		Peel's holiday business continued with interruptions for two world wars, when the happy holiday makers were replaced by reluctant visitors, 'enemy aliens', who had been trapped by the onset of war.

	Peebles and Selkirk - Architecture-(b) Military: Castles and Peels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The castle is a transition building, and marks the change from the military peel tower with single tenement rooms to a double tenement building in which the military are less pronounced than the domestic features.
		The towers, for example, are small compared with the size of the building and the shot-holes have been made for musketry, not for cannon.
		The entrance to the vaulted chamber of the peel was by a stout wooden door studded with bolts, and often protected by an iron "yett," the horizontal and vertical bars of which were interlaced to give it additional strength.

	Click opera - John Peel died yesterday
		Peel, in my personal cosmology, is an angel and a devil, a friend and an enemy, a favourite uncle and a resented, oppressive boss.
		Peel's mistrust of showbiz glamour (he tells a very funny anecdote here about going to a 'terrifically trendy club off Bond Street' and not fitting in at all) was also a mistrust of theatre, artifice, projection...
		Peel's revenge is that even the people he seemed to block from the glittering prizes of the inner sanctum are weeping for the gatekeeper.

		The tower has battlements, and the angles are sometimes finished with turrets, which are machicolated.
		Peels were numerous in the Border districts of the North, in times when family feuds and Scotch maraudings rendered ordinary dwellings insecure against predatory attacks.
		Peels, properly signify gothic strong-holds, the defences of which are of earth mixed with timber, strengthened with piles or palisades, such as were common on the Continent at a very early period.

	Restalrig & Craigentinney Castles
		Peel towers (spelt Pele towers in England) are small fortified keeps, built along the English and Scottish Borders, intended as watch towers where signal fires could be lit to warn of approaching danger.
		The towers also provided a refuge so that, when cross-border raiding parties arrived, the whole population of a village could take to the tower and wait for the marauders to depart.
		The Peels in Peeblesshire formed an unbroken chain, within sight of one another, from the source of the Tweed down to its mouth at Berwick.

	Engineered Plastic Cooling Towers Impervious to Caustic and Costly pH Factors
		The "traditional" metal-clad cooling tower is under attack from all sides, particularly in the process industries where they are critical to maintaining temperature ranges for every process that creates heat.
		Because plastic cooling towers are impervious to residual salts, it cannot damage the tower and it can be cleaned up by simply washing down the plastic surface with a hose.
		The largest cooling towers manufactured by Delta for example, are rotary-cast with a double-wall UV-protective, polyethylene shell that is virtually impervious to weather conditions and harsh environmental elements.

	Pele Towers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The pele tower was a strongly built tower, less grand than a tower keep, used for a place of refuge and look-out.
		The northern pele towers were surrounded by a simple enclosing stone wall, or barmkin, with no flanking towers or gatehouse.
		Some pele towers were constructed quickly, and some were made of wood due to the lack of funding or wages.

	[No title]
		The eccentricities and shortcomings of the foreign bride were a priceless boon to the scanty population of the district; in castle and in peel tower little else for a time was talked of.
		Red-tongued flames from the beacon on the great tower did their best, in spite of storm and sleet, to warn all honest English folk that a huge army of Scots was on the war-path, and that the gallows on Haribee Hill had been insulted by the abduction of its lawful prey.
		Moreover, though he owned his peel tower and the land surrounding it, he was yet, as regards other land, a tenant of the Earl of Derwentwater, as well as being a devoted admirer of that nobleman.

		Once the Peel Away paper was smoothed over the wet paste, it was left to dwell for two to three days-when the paper was peeled away, and with it the bulk of the still-damp paint.
		Peel Away 1 was not the only product tested on the paint covering the Tivoli's bricks.
		Free of fumes and hazardous chemicals, Peel Away 1 is non toxic, and has been used on high-pro-file historic and other restorations nationwide, including residential and office buildings, schools, and museums that were occupied throughout the renovation process.

	Smailholm Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Smailholm Tower is a peel tower that stands around five miles west of Kelso in the Scottish Borders.
		The tower was attacked by English soldiers in 1543, 1544 and again in 1546, when the garrison of Wark Castle sacked the tower and carried off prisoners and cattle.
		The tower is surrounded by the remains of a stone barmkin wall, within which the ruins of outbuildings and a small chapel are still visible.

		It wasn’t until the union of the crowns of England and Scotland in 1603, that the need for fortified dwellings declined, and the minute number of defensive sites built after this time is testament to the changing fortunes of the county of Cumbria.
		For example, Hollin Hall Pele tower near Crook, Collin Field fortified house in Kendal, Helsfell fortified House near Kendal, Nether Hall near Witherslack and Selside Hall near Selside.

	Peel Castle - Toilet
		In mediaeval times, the sanitation in Peel Castle was actually quite good, and it could boast eleven toilets, one of which is pictured here (though the iron grid is a recent addition to stop tourists falling down the hole!).
		Another technique was to construct the toilet in such a way so that its contents were collected in an underground pit which was drained in some way inaccessible from the outside.
		There are a number of toilets on the ramparts and in the flanking towers.

	Peel tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This page gives information on Peel towers, built on the English border in the 15th Century to stop border raids from Scotland.
		For the monument in Bury, Lancashire, see Peel Monument.
		Apart from their primary purpose as a warning system, these towers were the homes of the Lairds and landlords of the area, who dwelt in them with their families and retainers, while their followers lived in simple huts outside the walls.

	The Phynodderree: King Olave the Second and the Great Sword Macabuin: Chapter III
		When he heard of the stratagem and weird device adopted by the Manx witches, and submitted to by the king to thwart the efficacy of his chef d'œuvre, the great sword Macabuin, he stormed and raged with frantic fury, uttering curses and denunciations on the king, on the witches, and on the whole Manx people.
		She privately informed Olave Goddardson that the challenge was only a ruse to decoy him to his destruction, for the dark smith was at that very time engaged upon the construction of another magic sword, which was to possess even more wonderful powers than the once celebrated, but now dishonoured, Macabuin, in his Majesty's possession.
		No sooner had they started than a large fl raven, with three white spots upon its breast, was seen to rise into the air, and, after three flights round the towers of Peel Castle, to take the same course as the travellers, keeping steadily over the king's head.

	Key to Types
		These can be free-standing towers or towers attached to other, unfortified, buildings (The free standing form is more 'Scottish' and often later in date).
		A form of fortified farmhouse, usually fairly roughly built, rectangular and 15th and 16th century in date (Mainly late 16th century and some continued to be built well into the 17th century) and generally confined to the Northern counties, only occasionally with any active defensive features (such as gun ports).
		Included because the foundations and scant remains of ruins can be very difficult to differentiate from Pele Towers and because the Bastles were often grouped and were otherwise placed to be of some strategic value in defending against Scottish raids.

		To serve, layer slices of melon, tomato, ricotta salata and fennel on each of four salad plates, spiraling upward until you have built small towers about 3 inches high.
