Aysgarth railway station

Aysgarth railway station is a disused railway station in North Yorkshire, England, near Aysgarth Falls. It was part of the Hawes Branch of the North Eastern Railway from its opening in 1877 until closure in April 1954. The Wensleydale Railway Association aims to rebuild the railway from Northallerton (from its current western terminus at Redmire) to Garsdale and plans to re-open the station. History The station was opened by the North Eastern Railway on 1 February 1877. The line became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) during the Grouping of 1923. The station was host to a camping coach from 1935 to 1939 and could possibly have had a coach in 1933 and/or 1934. The station was also one of those used by the LNER touring camping coach service in 1935. The line passed to the North Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was closed by the British Transport Commission in April 1954, although goods traffic continued until the Redmire to Hawes section closed to all traffic in 1964. Aysgarth site today The track had previously been lifted through the station site. In 2017 the station was sold into private hands after the Wensleydale Railway stated that it was costing too much to keep on their books. The nearest operational part of the railway is the Wensleydale Railway, a heritage line which operates from Redmire to Leeming Bar and Northallerton West. As of June 2022, track at the station has been re-instated after its new owner, David Smith of West Coast Railways, was granted permission by The Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.

BSix Sixth Form College

Hackney Sixth Form (formerly BSix Sixth Form College) is a sixth form college in Upper Clapton, London. Established in September 2002 as BSix, the college merged with New City College in August 2024 and now operates as part of its Hackney campus. The merger transferred BSix’s assets and liabilities to New City College Ltd, dissolving the BSix corporation effective 1 August 2024. Merger In March 2024, a consultation was launched proposing the merger of Brooke House Sixth Form College (BSix) with New City College. The consultation concluded in May, and a statutory notice confirmed the dissolution of BSix Corporation effective 1 August 2024. The merger completed with BSix relaunched as the Hackney Sixth Form campus of New City College. After the merger proposed changes to the curriculum, which included no longer offering A Levels, were met with significant local opposition. History BSix Brooke House Sixth Form College was opened on the Brooke House school site in September 2002, on a site that was previously part of Hackney College. It was set up by the then Secretary of State for Education, David Blunkett, and formed part of an unrealised plan to build eleven new sixth form colleges in London. BSix was unusual in the sixth form college sector because it offered courses at all levels and across a wide range of subjects, including vocational courses, like hair and beauty, business and art as well as A-Levels. In 2010 it was considered to be one of the top colleges in England for improving the performance of its students. After an initial surge of enthusiasm, the educational context changed rapidly. Hackney's local education authority, the Learning Trust, introduced a programme to create five City Academies in the borough, all with sixth forms. As a consequence, many other 11-16 schools applied to open their own sixth forms. The growth in student recruitment was not as rapid as the Learning and Skills Council (LSC), the funding body, had anticipated. Although by 2019 it had seen improvements to A and AS level results. Students In 2014, around 88% of its pupils came from disadvantaged areas. References External links College Website

B Bond Warehouse

B Bond Warehouse (grid reference ST570720) is a former bonded warehouse built to serve Bristol Harbour. Built in 1908, B Bond was the second of three warehouses constructed close to Cumberland Basin to meet the demands of the tobacco import boom of the early 20th century. A Bond was built in 1905 and C Bond in 1919. All three warehouses are Grade II listed buildings. B Bond was the first major building in Britain constructed using the reinforced concrete system pioneered by Edmond Coignet. It was built by Cowlins Construction. The open plan structure, which is nine storeys high and has an 18-window range, was created in two equal parts separated by central spine wall. In addition to the concrete structure, the warehouse was built using black bricks, patent red bricks and blue engineering bricks, with Pennant stone steps, terracotta details and a Welsh slate roof. In the 1990s it was still being used for the storage of wines and spirits. The building is now owned by Bristol City Council. The western half houses Bristol Archives (which holds the extensive archives of the city of Bristol) as well as other council offices. The brickwork of the exterior of the building was refurbished by John Perkins Construction using bricks which matched the originals. The eastern side is occupied by the CREATE Centre, which includes an energy-saving Ecohome designed by Bruges Tozer Architects. The CREATE Centre also houses several organisations working in sustainable development, including the city council's sustainability teams. In 2015 a quarter of a million books and reference materials were moved from Bristol Central Library to the B Bond Warehouse to make space for refurbishment and the development of a school at the library building.

Babbacombe Cliff Railway

Babbacombe Cliff Railway, also known as the Babbacombe Cliff Lift, is a funicular railway in the town of Torquay in the English county of Devon. It links Babbacombe Downs with Oddicombe Beach. The line formerly ran every day between 09:30 and 17:30, with a closure period in winter for maintenance. A bell is rung 30 and 15 minutes before closing. History The idea of a cliff railway appears as early as 1890 when proposals started to grow in public favour. The idea originated with Charles Richardson C.C. of Cary Castle, St Marychurch, and taken up and promoted by George Newnes M.P. based on the similar railway at Lynton. However, this scheme did not come to fruition and was abandoned in 1893. The proposal was revived in 1907 but no progress was made. The proposal was still being discussed in 1914 at the outbreak of the First World War. In February 1923, the Torquay Tramway Company commissioned Waygood-Otis Ltd with the engineering and construction of the railway. Construction started in 1924, and the line was first opened on 1 April 1926. The line cost £15,648 (equivalent to £827,000 in 2025) to construct. The tramway company continued to work the line until 13 March 1935, when it was taken over by Torquay Borough Council. The line was closed in 1941, due to World War II security restrictions, and reopened in 1951 after modernisation by Messrs J & E Hall of Dartford. The fare in 1951 was 6d return (equivalent to £1.32 in 2025), 4d up and 3d down. The railway underwent further refurbishment in 1993 and a three-year programme of renovation commenced in November 2005. In July 2009, the ownership of the line was transferred from Torbay Council, who had inherited ownership from Torquay Borough Council as a result of local government reorganisation, to a specially created community interest company. In 2019, the CIC converted to become a charitable incorporated organisation. Specifications Two cars of traditional funicular design with a 40-person standing capacity 720-foot (220 m) track with a 5 ft 8 in (1,727 mm) gauge Rated speed of 2.5 metres per second (8.2 ft/s) Drive equipment located at the top station Direct current wattage drive system, incorporating servomotor-operated controller Hoisting ropes attached to upper ends of car chassis, supplemented by a compensating rope system to load balance for car position on track Incidents On 4 September 2022, an engineer from the railway was killed in what was described as an industrial incident. It re-opened in July 2023. It had to close again in August 2023 while repairs were made.

Baconsthorpe Castle

Baconsthorpe Castle er en befæstet herregård i ruiner nord for landsbyen Baconsthorpe i Norfolk i England. Den er en listed building af 1. grad hos English Heritage, og Scheduled Ancient Monument. Den blev opført 1460-1486 af John Heydon (død 1479) og sir Henry Heydon (død 1504). På østsiden var den beskyttet af en sø, og på de tre andre af tørre voldgrave. De fik licens til krenellering og herregården voksede i takt med, at familiens rigdom blev større. Fæstningen er af flint og nogle steder mursten. Ringmuren står fortsat med tårnene og danner en indre borggård på 30 x 30 m. Der er også bevaret rester af en tre-etagers portbygning. Ruinerne drives af English Heritage, og der er gratis adgang.
