Thermodynamics (Solar Hot Water) in Ellesmere

Ellesmere

Ellesmere is a market town near Oswestry in north Shropshire, England, significant for its closeness to a number of prominent Meres. The community is found alongside Ellesmere (aka 'the Mere'), one of the largest natural meres in England outside the Lake District and also one of 9 antarctic meres in the location. ('glacial' suggests that the clinical depression inhabited by the mere was the location of a block of ice that continued at the end of the last Ice Age). These meres are various from those in the Lake District because they do not have a circulation of water into them to maintain the degree. A man-made island in the Mere was built in 1812 from dirt removed throughout the making of the yards at Ellesmere House. This was later called Moscow Island, as Napoleon was required to retreat from Moscow that year. The Mere has a site visitors' centre as well as is preferred with birdwatchers, most of whom visit to see grey herons nesting. There are eight other meres close by: Blakemere, Colemere, Crosemere, Kettlemere, Newtonmere, Whitemere, Sweatmere and Hanmer Mere. The civil church which constitutes the community is Ellesmere Urban; the surrounding parish, covering a huge backwoods, is Ellesmere Rural.
