The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo - 2010. The 2011 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Stonehenge. Archaeologists believe it was built anywhere from 3000 BC to 2000 BC.
Radiocarbon dating in 2008 suggested that the first stones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC,[2] whilst another theory suggests that bluestones may have been raised at the site as early as 3000 BC.[3][4][5] The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury Henge. It is a national legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Avebury. Avebury (/ˈeɪvbri/) is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles, around the village of Avebury in Wiltshire, in southwest England.
Unique amongst megalithic monuments, Avebury contains the largest stone circle in Europe, and is one of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain. It is both a tourist attraction and a place of religious importance to contemporary Pagans. Constructed around 2600 BCE,[1] during the Neolithic, or 'New Stone Age', the monument comprises a large henge (that is a bank and a ditch) with a large outer stone circle and two separate smaller stone circles situated inside the centre of the monument.

Introduction Before the railways, local mean time was the time kept by clocks and used for general purposes in the UK, insofar as people kept time by clocks rather than by the sun. (Mean time, as shown by sufficiently accurate clocks, had largely replaced apparent time, as shown by a sundial, from around the end of the eighteenth century.) With the coming of the railways, it became a significant problem for timetables that the time at one end of a railway line should differ significantly from that at the other. For this reason, in the 1840s the railway companies started to keep London time consistently at their stations and on their trains; on 22 September 1847 it was recommended by the Railway Clearing House that all the railway companies should adopt Greenwich time, and by January 1848 this had generally been done.
