Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead

The Queen Elizabeth Hospital is based in Sheriff Hill in Gateshead, England. It is managed by Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust. History The hospital has its origins in the Sheriff Hill Isolation Hospital. The first building was completed in 1878 and others were added later. The 4-acre (1.6 ha) site was enclosed by a large stone wall tipped with barbed wire and broken glass, and by 1903 the hospital comprised a main block with an administrative building in the centre with a ward block on each side, another three-ward block, a porter's lodge, a steam disinfecting building, a laundry and a mortuary. The hospital had a maximum capacity of 78 patients, who were tended by two resident doctors and 10 nurses. During the period 1918 to 1939, the isolation hospital remained the sole medical provision in Sheriff Hill. Faced with an increase in population, Gateshead Council decided that a new general hospital should be built. In March 1938, preliminary work started on the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on the site of the isolation hospital; the foundations were laid in 1939 but the outbreak of the Second World War delayed the building work. After the war the building work started again and the new buildings were officially opened by the Queen Mother on 18 March 1948. An out-patients department, an accident and emergency department, a new operating theatre and a medical records department were added in 1967. A new pathology "centre of excellence" for patients from Gateshead, Sunderland and South Tyneside, funded from a £12 million grant from the government, opened in early 2014. A new £32 million emergency care centre opened in February 2015. See also List of hospitals in England References Sources Buchannan, G.S (November 1905).

Queen Elizabeth High School, Bromyard

Queen Elizabeth High School is a coeducational comprehensive secondary school with academy status situated in Herefordshire, on the outskirts of Bromyard. The school meets the educational needs of pupils 11-16, with feeder primary schools including Burley Gate Primary School, St Peters Primary School, Brockhamton Primary School, Bredenbury Primary School. The governing board recently changed the name back to Queen Elizabeth High School from Queen Elizabeth Humanities College. History Education in Bromyard can be traced back to 1394 when a chantry school was founded. After the dissolution of the chantries, the school was granted a charter for its re-foundation as a Boys' Grammar School by Elizabeth I in 1566. In 1958, the Grammar School, which had been admitting boys and girls from the beginning of this century, combined with the secondary school established in 1961 to open the school as Bromyard County Secondary School in 1963. In 1976, Sixth Form education was concentrated at Hereford Sixth Form College and this school became a comprehensive school catering for pupils aged 11 to 16. Since 2007, the college has progressed notably, producing high GCSE results. A school inspection in 2011 found that "Teachers, support staff and governors all share a strong sense of moral purpose that their students deserve the best possible education, and this leads to the current culture of continuous improvement and 96% of parents surveyed stated that they were happy with their child's experience of this school" On 1 December 2011, the school officially gained academy status. A former pupil of the school was Robin Chater, Secretary-General of the Federation of International Employers References External links School Home Page Old Historic Photos from the School Archived 8 March 2007 at the Wayback Machine OFSTED reports Get The Data GCSE info Term Time Dates 2018/19.

Queen Elizabeth II Dock

Queen Elizabeth II Dock is a dock situated on the River Mersey at Eastham, in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, Merseyside, England. Construction of the dock began in 1949, adjacent to the entrance of the Manchester Ship Canal at Eastham Locks and opening directly onto the river. The dock was built to provide berthing facilities for large tankers that could not be accommodated on the existing canal due to their size. Simultaneously, Eastham Oil Terminal was built nearby and pipelines were laid to link the dock and storage facility to the Stanlow Oil Refinery near Ellesmere Port. The Queen Elizabeth II Dock became operational on 19 January 1954. The lock chamber measures 807 by 100 feet (246 by 30 metres) in size with a water depth of 40 feet (12 metres). Two steel gates are located at either end of the lock, with a further gate one third of the way along from the Mersey entrance. These gates open by retracting into the dock wall. The dock itself was constructed with four berths, each capable of handling tankers of up to 30,000 gross tons. Subsequent increases in tanker size since the dock was built has meant that the largest tankers use the Tranmere Oil Terminal and at offshore berths at Anglesey in North Wales. As part of the emergency procedures for the Manchester Ship Canal, an emergency siren located at the dock is tested every morning around 0845 and is audible in many parts of South Liverpool and Ellesmere Port.

Queen Elizabeth II Bridge (Newcastle upon Tyne)

Queen Elizabeth II Bridge je příhradový most překlenující řeku Tyne mezi městy Gateshead a Newcastle upon Tyne v severním Anglii. Po mostě přecházejí obě linky newcastleského metra a nachází se mezi stanicemi Central Station na newcastleské straně a Gateshead na gatesheadské straně. Výstavba mostu začala v roce 1976 a dokončen byl 1. srpna 1978. Otevřený byl 6. listopadu 1981 Královnou Alžbětou II., po které je i pojmenován. Celková délka mostu je 352.7 m, hlavní rozpětí je 164.7 m dlouhé. Šířka mostu je 10.31 m. Výstavba mostu stála 6 milionů liber. Podobný, ale dřívější most Ballachulish Bridge v blízkosti skotské obce Glencoe byl dokončen v roce 1974 a stejně jako i Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, tento most byl také navržen společností WA Fairhurst & amp; Partners.

Queen Elizabeth II Bridge, River Tyne

The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge carries the Tyne and Wear Metro between Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead over the River Tyne in North East England. The line is in tunnels on either side of the river and only emerges into open air to cross the bridge. History The bridge was developed as part of the Tyne and Wear Metro system, for which it was purpose-built. It was designed by W. A. Fairhurst & Partners, and constructed by Cementation Construction Ltd. and the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company at a cost of £4.9 million. The two sections of the bridge were built simultaneously from each bank and eventually met in the centre in August 1978. It was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 6 November 1981, nine days before regular Metro service began. It is similar to Ballachulish Bridge on the A82 which opened in 1975, which was also built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company. It was one of two major bridges built specifically for the Tyne and Wear Metro, the other being the Byker Viaduct crossing the Ouseburn valley. Nocturne artwork In 2006, Nexus, operators of the Metro, commissioned artist Nayan Kulkarni to install a huge artwork on the bridge. The artwork, Nocturne, sees the bridge painted two distinct tones of blue, while at night, 140 Lumiflood 36 LED lighting units create an ever-changing pattern of colours based on photographs submitted by members of the public. Nocturne was completed and opened on 26 April 2007 and means that all five main bridges across the Tyne between Gateshead and Newcastle have unique lighting schemes. However, as of 2021 the lighting system is not operational, with Nexus citing operational costs. References Further reading External links Queen Elizabeth II Bridge at Structurae

Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton

Queen Mary's Hospital, formerly Queen Mary's Convalescent Auxiliary Hospitals, is a community hospital in Roehampton in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It is run by St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. History The hospital was founded in 1915, primarily by Mary Eleanor Gwynne-Holford as a military hospital to provide care for wounded soldiers. It was initially based at Roehampton House specialising in the care of amputees and soon became a world-renowned limb fitting and amputee rehabilitation centre, with their artificial limbs created in the basement of the hospital. A fully equipped hospital was built on site in the early 1920s, a plastic and oral surgery unit developed by Sir Harold Gillies moved onto the site in 1925 and a Tropical Diseases unit was established for former prisoners of war in 1945. The hospital joined the National Health Service late (in 1961). Following discovery of significant asbestos, the original site was left in 1983. The Douglas Bader Unit (named after double-amputee RAF pilot Sir Douglas Bader), an established international centre of excellence in the field of research and development of rehabilitation techniques, was opened on the site by Diana, Princess of Wales in 1993. A major rebuilding programme was procured under the Private Finance Initiative in 2004. The new facilities, designed by P. M. Devereux and built by Bovis Lend Lease at a cost of £55 million, were officially opened by the Duke of Gloucester on 1 November 2006. The hospital has its own museum, opened in 2010 in the main hospital building. At 00:17 on 16 February 2013 a fire started in Rose ward, a non public access unit. London Fire Brigade rescued its patients; in total 20 people were evacuated. The stop message (from firefighters that no further resources were required) was received at 02:18. London Ambulance Service treated patients affected. Facilities The hospital has a total of 88 beds; 46 for people who have had limb amputations and require neurorehabilitation and 42 for care, treatment and rehabilitation of older people. It does not have an accident and emergency (A&E) department. The Minor Injuries Unit at Queen Mary's is temporarily closed. The hospital also had three inpatient wards run by the South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust. Transport London Buses routes 265, 419, 493, 969 and N74 serve the hospital, stopping directly outside; and routes 85, 170 and 430 stop on a road behind the hospital. Barnes station is the closest railway station and is 15–20 minutes walk away. Notable death James Beck (1929–1973), Dad’s Army actor, best known for his role as Private Joe Walker, who died there aged 44 following complications from pancreatitis.

Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup

Queen Mary's Hospital is a community hospital in Sidcup in the London Borough of Bexley. The hospital is managed by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust, with services also being provided by King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. The Urgent Care Centre has been managed by the Hurley Group since July 2014. History The Queen's Hospital was opened in prefabricated buildings in the grounds of Frognal House on 18 August 1917. It provided pioneering plastic surgery under the guidance of Sir Harold Gillies to soldiers sustaining facial injuries during First World War. It was re-opened as a general hospital known as Queen Mary's Hospital by Queen Mary in 1930. It was damaged by bombing during World War II and joined the National Health Service in 1948. The prefabricated buildings were replaced by more permanent structures between 1962 and 1974. In April 2009 three NHS Trusts merged, those of Queen Mary's Sidcup, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Bromley Hospitals as the multi-site South London Healthcare NHS Trust. In November 2010 the hospital's A & E Department temporarily closed along with the maternity services in the Kent Women's Wing. Acute services were transferred to the two sister hospitals, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, London and the Princess Royal University Hospital in Farnborough. In October 2013, the merged Trust was dissolved, and the hospital split between various other trusts. Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust became the owner of the estate and took responsibility for the running of some clinical services. King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust became responsible for running other clinical services at the hospital. A fire in a derelict maternity ward was quickly brought under control in August 2015. Transport The hospital is served by London Buses routes 160, 229, 269, 286, B14, R11 and SL3. The nearest railway station is Sidcup, on the Dartford Loop Line. References External links Official website Queen Mary's Hospital Sidcup on the NHS website

Queen Mother Reservoir

The Queen Mother Reservoir is a public water supply reservoir that lies between the M4 and the M25 to the west of London, close to Datchet. It is 475 acres (1.92 km2) in size or about 1 km in diameter - making it one of the largest inland areas of water in Southern England. It is managed by Thames Water. This is one of a number of reservoirs to the west of London and was built by W. & C. French and completed in 1976. It was inaugurated on 9 July that year by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, after whom it is named. Its water is pumped from the River Thames nearby. The water improves in quality during its retention in the reservoir as solids settle and organic contaminants are adsorbed and degraded through a combination of natural biological processes aided by sunlight and oxygenation. Water from the reservoir is treated (often using slow sand filters) before being put into supply as London tap water. The reservoir contains a limnological tower. During the design and early construction it was called the Datchet reservoir due to its closeness to the town. Engineering design data for the Queen Mother reservoir is as follows. The reservoir lies within the Colne Valley regional park and like other local reservoirs is popular for sailing and bird-watching. Petrels have been spotted at this reservoir.
