Port Merion Village on Second Life is a carefully crafted fan-based simulation of Portmeirion, an Italianate resort village located in Wales and nestled along the coast. Built on a foundry and boatyard by Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975, Portmeirion is a testament to Mediterranean architecture “demonstrating that development of a naturally beautiful site need not result in its defilement.” Williams-Ellis was active as a conservationist and campaigner for the protection of the environment. In popular culture Portmeirion was home to Patrick McGoohan's 1960's classic series The Prisoner. The Village, Port Merion Region developed out of our love for the beautiful architecture of Portmeirion, appreciation for the brilliance of Patrick McGoohan's television series The Prisoner and the desire to create a special community in Second Life. For more information about Port Merion Village in Second Life click here Portmeirion is an Italianate resort village in Gwynedd, on the coast of Snowdonia in Wales. The village is located near Penrhyndeudraeth, on the estuary of the River Dwyryd, two miles southeast of Porthmadog, and one mile from the railway station at Minffordd, which serves both the narrow gauge Ffestiniog Railway and Arriva Trains Wales (Cambrian Line). Portmeirion has served as a location for films and television shows, most famously serving as The Village in The Prisoner. To continue with the wiki article on Portmeirion click here The Prisoner is a 17-episode, British television series which was first broadcast in London from the 1st of October 1967 to the 4th of February 1968. Starring and co-created by Patrick McGoohan, it combined spy fiction with elements of science fiction, allegory, and psychological drama. The series follows a British former secret agent who is held prisoner in a mysterious seaside village where his captors try to find out why he abruptly resigned from his job. Although sold as a thriller in the mould of McGoohan's previous series, Danger Man (called Secret Agent in its U.S. release), the show's combination of 1960s countercultural themes and surreal setting had a far-reaching effect on science fiction/fantasy programming, and on popular culture in general. A remake, a TV miniseries from AMC, is slated to air in 2009[3] and Christopher Nolan has been widely reported to be considering a film version.[4] To continue with the wiki article on The Prisoner click here | ||||
