Two major archaeological sites which remind us of this once-great civilization are Moenjodaro and Harrapa. These sites were discovered as a result of an excavation carried out under the supervision of a British archaeologist Sir John Marshall, in 1922.

Moenjodaro means City of the Dead. It is situated at a distance of 27km from Larkana, in Sindh. Harrapa is a site 24km away from the city of Sahiwal, in Punjab. In spite of a distance of 650km between the two cities, both are similar many ways. The people of these cities were very civilized and urbane. Indus Valley Civilization came to an end about 2500 years ago as a result of floods.

An impressive architectural taste is visible in the buildings of the Indus Valley Civilization. The cities were well planned and were developed on large areas. Most of the roads were 33feet wide. A proper sanitation and drainage system was present and the drains were kept covered. During the excavation a number of idols made of metals, wood, clay and stone were discovered. Therefore it is believed that most of the people of ancient Indus Valley Civilization worshiped idols while the others worshiped sun, moon and the stars.

Although the ancient valley didn’t produce metals like Silver, Bronze and Copper but articles and jewelry made of these metals were quite common in Moenjodaro and Harrapa.

Aspen, Grindelwald, St. Moritz, Davos…. Hemel Hempstead! What do all of the above names have in common? Well, you can ski all year round in them all…. except the first four! Okay, so Hemel is never going to have the same magical association as St Moritz but it has raised itself into the rarefied atmosphere of being a serious sky resort thanks to a new development called The Snow Centre.

As you leave the A41 for Hemel Hempstead the town stretches out along the Gade Valley below. Hugging the hillside opposite is a very long silver building which gleams in the sunlight and rather dominates the skyline. It’s very modern looking but not what Prince Charles would describe as ‘a monstrous carbuncle’.

In fact The Snow Centre has done its best to create an environmentally friendly building where snow lovers can play all year round. The roof itself is a living plant surface which retains water and changes colour as the seasons change and new plants flourish and die according to their life-cycle.

The statistics are impressive: a 160 metre long slope; a 100 metre nursery run; 30 metres wide – think one and a half football parks running down a hillside and you’ll get some idea of the scale of the enterprise. And then there’s the snow…. it’s the real freeze-your-bum-off fresh snow generated by the latest snow canons each night and guaranteed to give you a taste of the Alpine whether you’re a beginner getting to grips with the basics or an experienced skier/snowboarder brushing up on your skills.

The proud boast from The Snow Centre is that this is, ‘the best snow this side of the Alps’… and they might just be right. The aim of The Snow Centre was to create the best indoor slope in the UK and once you step through the front door, where you are met by a very friendly and efficient lady called Gail, we’re sure that you’ll give them a massive thumbs up. The whole complex is bright and airy with a really fresh feel to it. The designers have succeeded in bringing the outdoors inside helped by a few glimpses of fresh air and trees through the windows of the upstairs bar.
