Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace

The Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace, also known and originally as the Cremorne Orpheum Theatre, is a heritage-listed cinema located at 380 Military Road, in the suburb of Cremorne in the North Sydney Council local government area on Sydney's Lower North Shore in New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by George Newton Kenworthy and built in 1935 by F. T. Eastment and Sons. It was added as a Heritage Item to the North Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2013 on 2 August 2013. The architect, George Newton Kenworthy, is known for his work in the Art Deco style, and most particularly his designs for theatres and cinemas including the Enfield Savoy Theatre (alterations 1938), the Majestic Theatre in Port Macquarie (1936), and the Regent Theatre in Mudgee (1935). History The Italian-Australian Virgona family led by director Angelo Virgona, who had opened the North Sydney Orpheum on the corner of Alfred Street and Junction Street in North Sydney in 1913 and renovated into a more modern style in 1924 (it was resumed in 1968 and demolished for the new Warringah Expressway), commissioned a new cinema further north in the Cremorne area in 1934 with an Art Deco design by prominent architect George Newton Kenworthy. Completed at a cost of over £45,000, the Cremorne Orpheum Theatre was officially opened on 3 October 1935 by the local Member for Neutral Bay, Reginald Weaver. On its opening the Sydney Morning Herald noted that it was "designed on strictly modern lines, especially with regard to acoustic response and internal furnishings. It is regarded as one of the most up-to-date structures of the kind in Australia." When it was first opened the theatre was also used for stage productions. After a failed attempt to sell the theatre in 1971, it remained a family operated cinema until the Orpheum closed in 1979, a fate shared by many other suburban cinemas across Sydney. However in 1977 it had already been recognised for its heritage value by the National Trust of Australia (New South Wales), and its restoration was undertaken in 1987 led by John Love for a new owner, television personality Mike Walsh, at a cost of $2.5 million The restoration works also transformed the theatre into a multiplex cinema, with the addition of a second screen in the former Ballroom area. Rechristened as the "Hayden Orpheum Picture Palace", it reopened on 9 December 1987 with the feature Planes, Trains and Automobiles. A third and fourth screens were added in the 1990s and two more were added in 2000 in the place of the former shopping arcade. The 1987 restoration also added a 1925 Wurlitzer pipe-organ that was originally installed in the Wilson Theatre in Fresno, California until 1973, and it is often played at selected film screenings. The cinema, which is a longtime favourite of film critic David Stratton, celebrated its 80th birthday in 2015.

Albany Bell Castle

The Albany Bell Castle is a heritage-listed building at the corner of Guildford Road and Thirlmere Road in the Perth suburb of Mount Lawley. It was built in 1914 for the catering company Albany Bell Ltd as a factory to manufacture cakes and confectionery for its eleven tearooms in Perth and three in Kalgoorlie and Boulder. The site chosen was 7.7 hectares (19 acres) of land 3 kilometres (2 mi) from Perth, with natural springs that could supply 450,000 litres (120,000 US gal) of fresh water per day. The company's founder, Peter Albany Bell, used ideas derived from the Cadbury factory in Bournville United Kingdom, to incorporate superior working conditions and amenities for employees. Construction The factory was designed by Alexander Cameron, styled on the Ghirardelli Chocolate factory that Bell had seen in San Francisco, and the Australian Federation style. It was built in two stages, the first being completed in 1914, including the north wing—a single-storey bakehouse with an oven protruding from it, heated by fire boxes in the cellar. The south wing was of two storeys, the first floor housing freezer rooms cooled by compressed-gas engines. The second-stage central section was completed in 1919—including a basement with double-brick cavity walls, which provided ideal conditions for the dipping of chocolates. The company Albany Bell Ltd employed over 400 people in its factory and tearooms. All received two weeks' paid annual leave, long before any employment awards required it. Additionally, employees in Kalgoorlie received rail fares and seaside accommodation for the two weeks; Perth employees received travel expenses enabling them to travel up to 240 kilometres (150 mi). During 1925, Bell as chairman of the Master Caterers Association became involved in a strike lasting for almost a month. Discouraged by further strikes, rising costs and competition, Bell sold the company and factory in 1928. The factory then changed hands many times, becoming a chicken hatchery and, later, a reserve building for WA Newspapers Ltd during World War II when there were concerns that the paper's St Georges Terrace building might be bombed. Several editions of the Daily News were printed there. After the war, it became the offices of the Department of Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority. Later, the Royal W.A. Institute for the Blind occupied it, establishing its Blind School and providing housing for the children who attended. When the building again became vacant in the 1970s, it was used for rehearsals by the West Australian Opera. In November 1992, the property was assessed under the Heritage Council criteria adopted in 1991, and listed on the interim register. It was eventually resold and developed into apartment accommodation, retaining the external structure and gardens. References Media related to Albany Bell Castle at Wikimedia Commons
Albany Cottage Hospital

Albany Cottage Hospital is the heritage site of a former hospital in Albany, Western Australia. The site is also named the Vancouver Arts Centre Group for its later use as a community arts centre. Description The buildings and grounds are situated on Vancouver Street, Albany, on a site that overlooks the Princess Royal Harbour. The main building is constructed from local limestone, with a roof of split she-oak Casuarina sp? shingles. The hospital was completed in 1897, from the 1886 design of George Temple-Poole, and continued to operate until 1962. Heritage value This work by Poole was the first of his many public buildings in the state, and a significant departure in architectural style for the Public Works Department. The design followed a contemporary movement of architects, such as Edwin Lutyens, that drew influence from the English cottage. The work is identified as Federation Arts and Crafts, and as an "aesthetically exceptional example" of the architect's work. Other nineteenth century buildings on the site, such as the former nurses quarters, morgue, and carpenters workshop, are regarded as significant as an intact hospital complex, and in particular as a cottage hospital. It is the oldest remaining hospital of the historic township. The views of the harbour make this a significant landmark. The building was established as an arts centre and various conservation works were done in the early 2000s.

Albany Senior High School, Western Australia

Albany Senior High School is a comprehensive public co-educational high school, located in Albany, a regional centre in the Great Southern region, 420 kilometres (261 mi) south-southeast of Perth, Western Australia. The school was established in 1918. The school's catchment area covers most of the City of Albany and in 2015 the school had an enrolment of 1,113 students between Year 7 and Year 12; four percent of whom were Indigenous Australians. Catchment area Albany's catchment area has been specified by the Department of Education and Training to include all of the City of Albany other than the western areas serviced by Mount Lockyer and Yakamia primary schools, which are served by North Albany Senior High School. History The school opened in 1924. The buildings were designed by the Principal Architect of Western Australia, William Hardwick. The school had a major upgrade in 1997 in several areas including the science laboratories, Design and Technology area and the home economics area. Another upgrade occurred in 2002 when the oval, gymnasium and performing arts centre were completed. Enrolments at the school have been steady over the last few years with 1008 students in 2007, 1055 in 2008, 1078 in 2009, 1005 in 2010, 1012 in 2011, 1011 in 2012, 960 in 2013, 982 in 2014 and 1113 in 2015. The drop in numbers since 2010 is a result of half cohort commencing school in 2010 when the age for Year 8 enrolment was raised by six months across the state. The increase in enrolments in 2015 was due to the loss of the half cohort and the addition of a Year 7 cohort. The school won the State Country Week Champion School for five consecutive years from 2000 to 2004. The school regained the champion school shield in 2010 but not before Bunbury Senior High School was awarded the champion school at the closing ceremony following a mix-up in the tallying of results. In 2011 the school again won the champion school shield. Bunbury Senior High School won the shield back from in 2012 with Albany being the runner-up champion school, but the school did win a third consecutive premiership in the football competition. The school were runners up again in 2013 to Bunbury Senior High School and 2014, before winning overall once more in 2015. In 2013 the school appeared in the top 50 schools for WACE results in position 39. In 2014 it was rated as the top country school, and ranked at 27th in the state. Long serving principal, Peter Havel, left the school in 2015 and was replaced by Brendan France, who was later replaced by Melissa Walker in 2021 who continues to be the current principal.

Albert Cricket Ground

Albert Cricket Ground, také známý jako Albert Reserve a Warehouseman's Cricket Ground, je kriketový stadion, na kterém domovské zápasy hraje družstvo Victorie. Nachází se v melbournské centrální čtvrti St Kilda, australského spolkového státu Victoria. Sportovní využití Tenis V roce 1905 se na tomto sportovišti konal první ročník tenisového grandslamu Australian Open, tehdy pod názvem „Australasian Championships“. Historicky premiérový titul získal Australan Rodney Heath, který ve finále porazil krajana Arthura Curtise ve čtyřech setech. Kriket Albert Cricket Ground hostilo řadu kriketových zápasů na nejvyšší úrovni, včetně mezinárodních turnajů. Debutové střetnutí na nejvyšší úrovni tzv. first-class cricket, se zde odehrálo v roce 1925 mezi týmy Victorie a New South Wales Colts. Následující takový zápas se zde konal až v roce 1970, ke kterému nastoupila ženská družstva. V sezónách 1988–1989 a 1990–1991 se na stadiónu uskutečnila tzv. Rose Bowl série utkání, v rámci ženského mezinárodního turnaje a poté se odehrály tři události v sezóně 1999–2000. V roce 2003 se zde nejdříve konal mezistátní zápas Austrálie s Jihoafrickou republikou „A“, a následně dva zápasy série mezi Bushrangers a Jižní Austrálií. Později v daném roce došlo ke střetnutí Tasmanian Tigers (tasmánských tygrů) s domácí Victorií. Austrálie se v rámci série Rose bowl 2004 utkala s Novým Zélandem, když jednou zvítězila a jednou odešla poražena.

Albert Cricket Ground

Albert Cricket Ground, also known as the Albert Reserve and previously as the Warehouseman's Cricket Ground, is a cricket ground in St Kilda, Victoria. It is operated by the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC), and used as its primary home ground in the Victorian Premier Cricket competition. Cricket The Melbourne Cricket Club has held the lease for the venue, originally known as the Warehouseman's Ground, since 1890. It has been the primary home venue for its cricket team in the Victorian District/Premier Cricket competition since that time. The venue is one of the primary finals venue in the premier cricket competition, and hosted the first XI district/premier cricket final almost every year from 1953/54 until the early 21st century. The venue has never hosted a first-class cricket match; in 2003, it was to have hosted its first List A match, a tour match between Australia A and South Africa A, but the match was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain. Top level women's cricket has been played on the ground. One women's Test match was played at the ground between Australia and New Zealand in January 1979, and the Rose Bowl series of Women's One Day International matches in 1988–89, 1990–91, and on three occasions in 1999–2000. The venue has one pavilion, the Clive Fairbairn Pavilion, named after MCC player, administrator and life member Clive Fairbairn. Tennis In 1905, the tennis courts at the Warehouseman's Cricket Ground were the venue of the first Australasian Tennis Championship, the tournament which later became the Australian Open. Lawn tennis at that time was administered in Victoria by the Melbourne Cricket Club. Rodney Heath defeated fellow Australian Arthur Curtis in four sets to claim the inaugural title. The venue hosted the Australasian Championships under the auspices of the MCC, and later the Lawn Tennis Association of Victoria, a total of four times: in 1905, 1911, 1914 and 1924, as well as the 1908 and 1912 Davis Cup finals, after which Kooyong became the primary venue for lawn tennis in Melbourne. A set of public tennis courts remains available at Albert Reserve to the north of the cricket ground. Other sports The Melbourne Cricket Club lacrosse team has its training and playing base at the Albert Cricket Ground; the club's baseball team also used the venue until 1976. Football has been played on the ground in the past. The original Prahran Football Club, which played senior football in the Victorian Football Association in 1886 and 1887 before amalgamating with St Kilda, played its home matches at the ground in 1886; and the Melbourne Football Club (which was a part of the MCC) played some games there after 1890. The Leopold Football Club also played home games at the ground while competing in the Metropolitan Junior Football Association (MJFA). The ground is not used for football today. In the early years of cycling in Victoria the ground was used to host races. On 24 May 1880 it was the scene of the first 25 Miles race of the Melbourne Bicycle Club on the occasion of Queen Victoria's birthday celebrations.
