Stanground Academy

Stanground Academy is a co-educational academy school and specialist college for sport, in the city of Peterborough in the United Kingdom. As of 20 October 2023, the academy has a capacity of around 1,430 students, with more people joining. The school was established in 1966 as Stanground Secondary Modern School, becoming comprehensive when education in the county was reorganised in 1976. It was officially opened by Alderman Dr. Jack Hunt, chairman of the Education Committee of the then Huntingdon and Peterborough County Council, after whom another local school is named. It has had specialist status as a sports college since 2001 and in 2012, it became an academy when it was handed over by Peterborough City Council to the Greenwood Dale Foundation Trust in order to improve the school as it was remarkably behind the national average in most aspects of education and learning. Stanground Academy was finally rebuilt in September 2013 with the original school making way for demolition. This was beneficial in terms of the facilities available to students at the school, and has also solved the many maintenance issues with the former building which had led to the school being closed to students on several occasions in the past due to dangerous conditions for a communal building. Facilities at the school include a pool open for public swimming and a fitness suite/gym which is also open to the public during term time as well as in the half term breaks. Most students are of British or Italian heritage and the majority have English as their first language. However, an increasing number of students are joining the academy having recently arrived in the United Kingdom. Over 15% of students are now from Eastern Europe and many speak little or no English. The proportion of students with learning difficulties or disabilities is above the national average and the economic backgrounds of students are broadly in line with the national average. In conjunction to this, the last Ofsted report filed the school as "good". It has recently claimed to be one of the most improved schools in the United Kingdom. According to multiple reports, it is said that since the new principal, Mr Van Lier, the schools has all around improved. References External links www.stangroundacademy.org

Stanley Ferry Aqueduct

Stanley Ferry Aqueduct was built between 1836 and 1839 to take the Aire and Calder Navigation over the River Calder in West Yorkshire, England. It is one of the earliest through arch bridges in the world and is considered to be the longest span aqueduct executed in cast iron. Designed by George Leather Sr. and built by H. McIntosh, the aqueduct has a span of 165 feet (50 m), a width of 24 feet (7.3 m) and a depth of 8.5 feet (2.6 m). It is still in use today, though an additional wider concrete aqueduct was constructed alongside in 1981 and the bridge was then renovated. Stanley Ferry is also the place where the Tom Pudding tub boats were loaded with coal from local collieries between 1863 and 1985 and transported down to Goole in long trains by canal. The site is one of three historic fords crossing the River Calder near Wakefield. Because the water was deepened for navigation a ferry became necessary, but was replaced by the first bridge in 1879. Like many through arch bridges, the design of the bridge is often confused with the tied-arch bridge; many bridges have both characteristics. However in this case the bridge is of cast iron, which would be weak in tension. Although the aqueduct channel is in the right position to act in tying the arch, it would have no strength in this direction. At Stanley Ferry, the outward sideways thrust of the arch is retained by its abutments, as for the simple arch bridge.

Stanley Palace is on Watergate Street, Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. Built as a town house for Sir Peter Warburton in 1591, it has since been apartments, a boys' school, and a museum. The building is administered by the Friends of Stanley Palace. It is used as a hire space and meeting rooms. History Stanley Palace was built in 1591 on the site of the former Black (Dominican) Friary. It was built as the town house for Sir Peter Warburton, a local lawyer and Member of Parliament. When he died in 1621, the house was inherited by his daughter. She married Sir Thomas Stanley who gave his name to the house. After the Civil Wars, James Stanley (The 7th Earl) was held under arrest at the house, and transported to Bolton for execution. Part of the house was demolished, and the southwest wing was rebuilt in the early 18th century. The house then ceased to be a mansion house and by the early 19th century it had been divided into apartments and its condition was deteriorating. during the 1870s housed a boys' school. The building was sold to the 15th Earl of Derby in 1889. In the early 1920s. the building contained "a museum of 1,000 curios". The north wing was rebuilt in 1935. Architecture The house is timber-framed on an ashlar sandstone plinth in two storeys. The south wall is brick and the roofs are slate. There are four gables on the east face and three on the north face which overlooks the street. On the ground floor there is a door on the east face and mullioned windows on both faces. The upper storey is jettied with a moulded bressumer. In each bay of the upper storey on both faces is a ten-light mullioned and transomed window, each of which contains leaded lights. Below and to the sides of these windows are panels, most of which are decorated. In the gables are wavy herringbone struts. At the top of each gable is a finial.

Stanley Spencer Gallery

Stanley Spencer Gallery är ett konstnärsmuseum i Cookham i Berkshire i Storbritannien, som är ägnat åt Stanley Spencers konst. Efter konstnärens död 1959 beslöt vänner och mecenater att upprätta ett lokalt museum i hans uppväxtort Cookham. Stanley Spencer Gallery öppnade 1962 och har en samling på ett hundratal målningar och teckningar. Museet ligger i det tidigare Wesleyan Chapel vid Cookham High Street, vilket uppfördes 1846. Det är en enkel byggnad i tegel och skiffer, byggd för att tjäna en församling på drygt ett hundra personer. Stanley Spencer besökte kapellet tillsammans med sin mor, vars bror var pastor där. Bönehuset stängdes 1904 och byggdes om till "King's Hall" och användes som lokalt bibliotek och en samlingslokal för byn till andra världskriget. Senare användes det till olika ändamål som lärosal för teckning och konstnärsateljé. Byggnaden genomgick en omfattande renovering 2006–07 och återöppnades i september 2007.

Stanmer House

Stanmer House is a Grade I listed mansion set in Stanmer Park, close to the village of Stanmer and north-east of the city of Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, England. Constructed by the French architect Nicholas Dubois in 1722 in a Palladian style for the Pelham family, it incorporates the remains of an earlier house, and was again altered in 1860. The house and park were bought by the local authority in 1947. The building was designated as Grade I listed in 1954; the former stables, built c. 1725 but much altered, are Grade II* listed. Close to the University of Sussex campus, the house was used as a university administration building for some years in the 1960s while the campus was being built in the eastern portion of the park. After undergoing renovation, it reopened in June 2006 and for use as a restaurant and events venue. In 2009, the Willkommen Collective started a music festival at Stanmer House. The first event featured performances from The Leisure Society, Robert Stillman, Peggy Sue and more in Stanmer House and grounds. The second festival took place on 12 September 2010 and was named Foxtrot. The lineup included Laura Marling, Anna Calvi, Francois & the Atlas Mountains and Sons of Noel and Adrian. The third annual festival took place in September 2011 and featured Hannah Peel, Sam Amidon, This Is The Kit and more. Alexander Proud took over the lease of Stanmer House in 2016, renaming the House "Proud Stanmer House". In January 2020, Proud announced that Stanmer House would close to the public as the company entered liquidation, stating that a rent increase was to blame. However many customers had recently criticised the venue under his company's operation, stating that it was poorly run. Shortly thereafter, Stanmer House was bought by local employer and property owner, KSD Support Services. It reopened in 2021, firstly as the House Cafe and eventually as Stanmer House in 2022. Planning permission to convert the house into a hotel is in place, but KSD is uncertain if it will proceed with this plan. Stanmer House is currently used as a dual-purpose building, with restaurant and cafe premises on the ground floor, and a number of local businesses occupying offices on the upper floors.

Stanmer Park

Stanmer Park is a large public park within the Brighton and Hove city boundary. It is a Local Nature Reserve and English Heritage, under the National Heritage Act 1983, has registered the park on the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England at Grade II level. The eighteenth century park contains the Grade I listed Stanmer House and also 25 Grade II listed buildings and structures. These form the village of Stanmer and Stanmer Church within the park, which would once have been the estate of the house. All were private until bought by Brighton's Council in 1947. There is a café, Stanmer Tea Rooms, in the village. Stanmer House was built for the Pelham family in 1722 around an earlier building. A mistress of King George IV later lived there. It was used as the first administrative centre of the 1961 University of Sussex, during the construction of its campus over a part of the park. A walk of elm trees was preserved within the campus design, by architect Sir Basil Spence. The house reopened in June 2006 after extensive restoration but there have been difficulties in bringing it into successful use. The church, adjacent to the village pond, was built in 1838 on the site of a 14th-century building. The church is now maintained by the Stanmer Preservation Society, which also runs the Donkey Wheel. In 2021 the park underwent a major restoration project funded through the National Lottery, the City Council, Plumpton College and the South Downs National Park Authority. The project improved the infrastructure, facilities and accessibility to the park, and provided a new walled public garden called the One Garden. Stanmer is surrounded by Sussex University to the east, Wild Park and Coldean to the southwest, more woodland with clay soils to the north west and the farmed South Downs. It is nestled in the South Downs National Park. Immediately to the south of the park runs the major A27 road.

Stannington railway station

Stannington railway station was a railway station which served the village of Stannington in Northumberland, England. It was located on the East Coast Main Line. It was opened in 1847 as Netherton, and closed in 1958. The community around the location of the station is today known as Stannington Station. History The station was opened on 1 March 1847. It was located on the Newcastle and Berwick Railway between Morpeth and Cramlington. It was initially named Netherton, but was renamed to Stannington on 1 January 1892. The station buildings were designed by Benjamin Green. The station remained open until 15 September 1958, when it was closed to passengers. Goods services to the site continued for another six years but were withdrawn in August 1964. The site today The site of the station is now an important level crossing over the present East Coast Main Line. The station house, a four-bedroomed property, is still in existence having been converted to residential use, although it has been substantially altered. The station was located some distance from the village of Stannington, and a community grew up around the site which took the name of the station. The name Stannington Station is still used to refer to the area, which is located on the trunk A1 road and the smaller A192 road. Housing development near to Stannington has led to suggestions that the station could be reopened. In 2004 the South East Northumberland Rail User Group listed Stannington's reopening amongst its aims; however, as of April 2015, no mention of Stannington is made on the group's website.

Steinkreis von Stannon

Der Steinkreis von Stannon liegt im Bodmin Moor, an den Hängen des Dinnever Hills, südöstlich von Camelford in Cornwall in England. Stannon hat seinen Namen von der nahe gelegenen Farm. Der etwa 42,6 × 40,5 Meter messende, leicht ovale Steinkreis enthält 47 aufrechte, 30 liegende, zwei versetzte und vier etwa 80 m entfernte Steine (englisch Outlier ), die wie Haizähne aussehen. Ihre durchschnittliche Größe beträgt 0,5 Meter. Der größte Stein in der Gruppe hat eine Basisbreite von über 1,2 Metern. Wie Fernacre ist Stannon ein Beispiel für einen auf der Nordseite abgeflachten Kreis (Alexander Thoms Typ A). Der Kreis stammt aus dem Spätneolithikum oder der frühen Bronzezeit. Aubrey Burl erklärt, dass er älter sein könnte als andere Kreise im südlichen Moorbereich. Es gibt mehrere Steinkreise auf Bodmin Moor, darunter Fernacre, Stripple stones, The Hurlers und die Trippet stones.

Stanton Hall, Stanton in Peak

Stanton Hall is a privately owned country house at Stanton in Peak in the Derbyshire Peak District, the home of the Davie-Thornhill family. It is a Grade II* listed building. The manor of Stanton was owned for some two centuries by the Bache family, but passed to Thornhill by the 1696 marriage of Mary Pegge, heiress of the estate, to John Thornhill of Thornhill. The Thornhill family and their direct descendants are still in residence. The house has three principal building phases. The oldest part dates from the replacement of the medieval manor house in 1693. Only one single gabled bay at the north of the house now remains of this period. In the 18th century the 1693 house was largely replaced with a two-storey mansion with a seven-bayed east front. In 1799–1800 Bache Thornhill (High Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1776) added a substantial south-facing extension, doubling the size of the house. The new two-storey, five-by-five-bay addition was designed in a Palladian style by architect Lindley of Doncaster. The entrance front to the south has the three central bays projecting, with a semicircular Doric porch with balcony over, and all covered by a pediment. Bache Thornhill also created a deer park on the estate and ornamental gardens. His descendant William Pole Thornhill, High Sheriff 1836, died in 1876 and the estate passed to McCreagh-Thornhill relations through his sister Emma Thornhill's daughter Eva Helen Emma Hurlock (the wife of Michael McCreagh). In the 1950s it passed to the Davie-Thornhill family (Eva and Michael's daughter Flora Helen Francis McCreagh-Thornhill married Bertie Davie).

Staple Inn

Staple Inn je architektonická památka v Londýně. Nachází se na ulici High Holborn v londýnské City (do změny hranic v roce 1994 patřila k obvodu Camden). Skládá se ze dvou budov s hrázděným zdivem, které mají čísla popisná 337 a 338, jedná má pět štítů a druhá dva. Nejbližší stanicí metra je Chancery Lane. Poprvé je budova zmíněna jako le Stapled Halle v roce 1292. Původně sloužila obchodníkům s vlnou jako sklad a krytá tržnice, patřily k ní také stáje a vybíral se zde poplatek z prodeje. Od patnáctého století ji začalo využívat právnické sdružení Gray's Inn, jedno z Inns of Court. Okolo roku 1580 byly domy přestavěny ve stylu tudorovské architektury s dekorativním hrázděným průčelím. Vitrážová okna pocházejí z období Jakuba I. V roce 1887 se areál stal majetkem pojišťovny Prudential plc a rekonstruoval ho Alfred Waterhouse. Vlastníkem je Institute and Faculty of Actuaries a ve velkém sále se scházejí jeho aktuárové. V přízemí obou budov se nacházejí obchody a restaurace v komerčním pronájmu. Staple Inn je posledním dochovaným z objektů Hospida Cancellarie, které ve čtrnáctém až sedmnáctém století sloužily ke vzdělávání, ubytování a stravování budoucích anglických advokátů. Patří také k nemnoha londýnským stavbám, které přežily Velký požár Londýna v září 1666. Ve Staple Inn žil Samuel Johnson a Charles Dickens sem umístil část děje knihy Záhada Edwina Drooda, průčelí bylo původně také vyobrazeno na obalu tabáku Old Holborn. Za druhé světové války byla Staple Inn terčem německých náletů; největší škody napáchala bomba z 24. srpna 1944, po které musela být budova opravena a ke znovuotevření došlo až roku 1955. Od roku 1974 je památkově chráněnou budovou stupně I. Reference Externí odkazy Obrázky, zvuky či videa k tématu Staple Inn na Wikimedia Commons Londonist Institute and Faculty of Actuaries

Staple Inn

Staple Inn ist ein teilweise im Tudorstil errichtetes Gebäude an der Südseite der High Holborn Street im Stadtbezirk City of London, London, England. Es befindet sich in der Nähe der U-Bahn-Station Chancery Lane und wird als Veranstaltungsort für Tagungen des Institute and Faculty of Actuaries in London genutzt. Es wurde 1974 zum denkmalgeschützten Gebäude der Kategorie I erklärt. Geschichte Staple Inn war ursprünglich an Gray’s Inn angeschlossen, eine der vier Anwaltskammern (Inns of Court) für Barrister in England. Die Gebäude der Inns of Chancery verfielen im 19. Jahrhundert. Alle wurden aufgelöst und die meisten wurden abgerissen. Staple Inn ist das einzige, das weitgehend intakt erhalten ist. Bevor das Grundstück um 1400 an die Inns of Court vermietet wurde, war es als Le Stapledhalle, eine Bezeichnung aus normannischer Zeit, bekannt. Es war ein Ort, wo Wolle gewogen und besteuert wurde und wo Wollhändler wohnen konnten. Er bot auch Platz für Pferde und Fuhrwerke. Später dann diente es der Ausbildung und Unterbringung von Anwälten. Das Anwesen überlebte den Großen Brand von London im Jahre 1666, wurde nach leichteren Treffern 1941 schließlich 1944 durch eine fliegende Bombe der deutschen Luftwaffe stark beschädigt und anschließend restauriert. Es verfügt über eine markante Fachwerkfassade aus dem Jahre 1580, ein Satteldach und einen Innenhof. Zu den historischen Innenräumen gehört ein Rittersaal, der vom Institut und der Fakultät für Aktuare genutzt wird. Die Straßenfront im Erdgeschoss ist an Geschäfte und Restaurants vermietet. Wegen des Denkmalschutzes muss die Beschilderung schlichter gestaltet sein als bei weniger sensiblen Gebäuden. Eine Zeit lang war das Gebäude auf Tabakpackungen der Marke «Old Holborn» abgebildet.
