Wroxham Broad

Der Wroxham Broad ist ein See in der englischen Grafschaft Norfolk. Er liegt am Fluss Bure bei dem Ort Wroxham und ist ein Zentrum des Segelsports. Lage und Beschreibung Der Wroxham Broad hat eine Fläche von 34,4 Hektar und eine durchschnittliche Tiefe von 1,3 Metern. Er liegt unmittelbar westlich des Bure und ist durch zwei schiffbaren Öffnungen mit dem Fluss verbunden. Der See ist im Besitz des Norfolk Broads Sailing Club (NBSC), dessen Klubhaus, Bootshäuser und Anleger sich zentral am westlichen Ufer befinden. Vom Zentrum Wroxhams sind es knappe 3 Kilometer zum Segelverein. Sportboote, die nicht zum NBSC gehören, dürfen den See befahren, jedoch weder anlegen noch ankern. An der rund 500 Meter langen, schmalen Insel zwischen See, Fluss und den beiden Zufahrten kann flussseitig am Ufer festgemacht werden; feste Anlegestellen gibt es jedoch auch hier nicht. Geschichte Der NBSC pachtete den Wroxham Broad im Jahr 1937 vom Trafford Estate. Zwischen den Jahren 2000 und 2005 wurde die Insel zwischen dem See und dem Bure renaturiert, um die Erosion der Ufer aufzuhalten die ökologischen Strukturen zu verbessern. Das Projekt war eine gemeinsame Initiative der Broads Authority, des Segelvereins und des Grundbesitzers. Als Ergebnis wurde festgestellt, dass unter anderem Eisvögel wieder auf der Insel nisten und der seltene Seggenrohrsänger auftritt. Im Zuge der Arbeiten stießen Freiwillige im Jahr 2004 auf eine nicht explodierte Handgranate aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, die von einem Bombenräumkommando der Armee gesprengt wurde. Die Bure Valley Railway hat eine ihrer Lokomotiven nach dem Wroxham Broad benannt. Weblinks Fußnoten
Wroxham Broad

Wroxham Broad is an area of open water alongside the River Bure near the village of Wroxham in Norfolk, England within The Broads National Park. The Norfolk Broads were formed by the flooding of ancient peat workings. Wroxham Broad has an area of 34.4 hectares (85 acres) and a mean depth of 1.3 metres. It lies to the west of the Bure, with two navigable openings between river and broad. The village and broad lie in an area of fairly intensive agriculture, with areas of wet woodland adjoining the broad and river. Since 1937, under lease from the Trafford estate, the broad has been home to the Norfolk Broads Yacht Club. Visiting boats are not allowed to land, but navigation is allowed. Between 2000 and 2005 the island between the two channels linking Wroxham Broad to the Bure underwent restoration to stop erosion and improve the island's ecology, which had become degraded. The project was a joint initiative involving the Broads Authority, Norfolk Broads Yacht Club and the local landowner, Trafford Estates. Scrub was cleared and a stretch of piling installed, allowing sedge, reed and rush to grow back. By 2005 it was reported that more birds, including kingfishers, were nesting on the island and the rare Cetti's warbler was often spotted. Greater numbers of ducks, including pochard and tufted ducks, now wintered nearby and there was a greater profusion of wild flowers and marsh flora including orchids. During the course of the work, in 2004, volunteers came across an unexploded Second World War hand grenade in the dredgings, which was exploded by an army bomb disposal team. Close to Wroxham Broad stands the early 18th century Broad House, a Queen Anne style estate house and formerly the seat of the local land-owning Trafford family. In 2006, it became a well-regarded 'boutique' hotel which closed in late 2010. There are proposals that it be reclassified as a single dwelling. Alfred John Norman Chamberlin (1822–1883), and his wife Betsy, owned the Broad House property and most of the Wroxham Broad, before the Traffords acquired it after Alfred's death about 1885. People flocked to their property to watch the Wroxham Regatta. (See painting "Wroxham Regatta -1868" by Claude Nursey.) Alfred had inherited the 300 acre property about 1858 from his unmarried cousin, Elizabeth Foulsham (1774–1857). She had inherited it from her unmarried half-brother, William Buckle (1765–1840) who had inherited it from his maternal grandfather, John Howse (d. 1817). Howse's forebears had owned the property since 1735. Prior owners have been recorded back to 1593. There is a locomotive at the Bure Valley Railway in Norfolk which is named after Wroxham Broad. In literature The Broad features in Coot Club and The Big Six, two books by Arthur Ransome set in the Norfolk Broads. References
Perivale Wood

Perivale Wood is an 11.6 hectare Local Nature Reserve (LNR) and Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation in Perivale in the London Borough of Ealing. It is one of the oldest nature reserves in Britain. The Selborne Society has managed it since 1902, at first as a bird sanctuary. In 1914 it leased the site and in 1923 it purchased it. The wood was designated an LNR in 1974. The site is mainly old oak woodland, with areas of pasture and damp scrub, three ponds and two streams. Plant species include adders tongue fern, and there have been records of 568 species of moths, 17 of mammals and 115 of birds. The Selborne Society was founded in 1885 as a national body to commemorate the work of the naturalist Gilbert White, but is now principally a local body managing Perivale Wood. The entrance in Sunley Gardens is locked except on the reserve open day on a Sunday in April. References
Prenton Golf Club

Prenton Golf Club is a golf club to the south of Prenton, Merseyside, England. Prenton Golf Club was established in 1905 and was designed by the famous golf architect of his time James Braid. The course is a scenic parkland course of 6,457 yards and has held many a Cheshire Union County fixture and tournament over its illustrious history. The course has views to the west across the Wirral Peninsula with the Welsh mountains in the distance – and yet it is located close to the cities of Liverpool and Chester. References
Rammey Marsh

Rammey Marsh is located in the Lee Valley Park at Enfield Lock, Enfield, England, and covers approximately 42 hectares (100 acres). The site is owned and managed by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority. Location The site is bounded by the M25 to the north. Mollison Avenue A1055 forms the majority of the western boundary together with a short section of the Lee Valley railway line, its eastern boundary is formed by the Lee Navigation while Smeaton Road forms the southern boundary. Flowing under the M25 the Small River Lea enters the site for a short distance before flowing under the A1055 road. Etymology Rammey Marsh is marked thus on the Ordnance Survey map of 1887, named from Ramhey 1538, Rammey 1610, probably 'island (of dry ground in marsh) where rams are pastured', from Old English ramm and ēg. History Rammey Marsh was once part of an extensive floodplain which stretched down to the River Thames. The marsh was used as pasture for summer grazing since Anglo-Saxon times. During the mid 20th century much of the marsh was given over to gravel extraction. The resulting flooded gravel pits were used for landfill which raised the profile of the site. On completion of the A1055 road in the late 20th century, the marsh was bisected from north to south. To the west of the road which approximately follows the course of the Small River Lea was the site of the former Rammey Marsh Sewage Treatment Works. Today, the site is the home to the Innova Business and Science Park, Oasis Academy School, hotel, housing and Rammey Marsh lake a former gravel pit 51.6729°N 0.0202°W﻿ / 51.6729; -0.0202 which has matured into a conservation area and fishery. Description A dry ditch which was a channel of the Small River Lea splits the site into two distinct areas, with the south being mixed grassland which is mostly flat and bisected by several maintained grass paths and the north resembling an undulating chalk grassland. Wildlife Some 225 plant species are present on the site, including pyramidal orchid and a colony of over 5000 bee orchid believed to be the largest group of this type in South East England. Birds such as reed bunting, skylark, meadow pipit, linnet have been recorded and the marsh is also an important site for spring visitors. Grassland provides a good habitat for the grass snake. Mammals seen on the marsh include pipistrelle bats. The Small River Lea provides an important habitat for the water vole Projects Attempts to construct two ponds were unsuccessful due to ground contamination. Additional projects include the building of amphibian and reptile refuges using soil and rubble and plans to re-work the banks of the central ditch to improve the habitat for water voles and other animals during the winter of 2010/11. Public transport Rail Enfield Lock Bus 121 491 Public access Car parking is available at Smeaton Road. Pedestrian and cycle access is found at various points around the site. The towpath of the Lee Navigation forms part of the Lee Valley Walk lies on the marsh's eastern fringe. See also Rammey Marsh Lock References
Redhill School, Stourbridge

Redhill School is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in Stourbridge, West Midlands (formerly Worcestershire), England. It has no sixth form, similar to most schools in the Borough of Dudley, and all schools in Stourbridge. It is situated just east of the single-track Stourbridge Town Branch Line. History It was formed in September 1976, when Stourbridge Boys' Grammar School and Stourbridge Girls' High School in the town centre merged with Lye Secondary Modern School in the Lye area. These former schools were administered by Worcestershire Education Committee until 1974. The new school was located entirely at the grammar and high school sites on Redhill, near Stourbridge town centre on either side of Junction Road, with the Lye building being converted to a community centre. The school gained specialist Language College status in 2003 before converting to an academy in July 2013. Redhill School is a member of the Stour Value Academy trust, a group of fourteen schools in and around the West Midlands. Results In the 2023 academic results year, 46% of students achieved grade 5 of above in English and Maths GCSEs. this had grown to 53.7% in 2025. When reviewed against schools in the Dudley area, Redhill School is the seventh best performing school based on Attaintment 8 averages at GCSE. Staff misconduct A number of teachers have been found guilty of a range of misconduct whilst teaching at Redhill School. In 2007, Paul Bodley was given a three year probation order for using a hidden camera to film female students in a school bathroom. In 2020, Edward Cox was banned from teaching after admitting dishonesty relating to submitting pupils' work to exam boards. In 2023, supply teacher Austin Murphy was banned indefinitely from teaching following misconduct toward a vulnerable student at the school. Building The original building is known as ‘A block’ has been extensively refurbished and a number of other buildings added to the site. The Music Centre is known as ‘B block’, The Humanities, and Creative Technology learning areas are on the other side of Junction Road in ‘C block’. Next to this building is the science centre, the Sports Development Centre, sports hall and gym. Redhill School has a proprietary sports pitch for playing football. In September 2023 Redhill was one of the 572 schools identified as containing RAAC. References External links Redhill School official website
Ridham Dock

Ridham Dock is a dock on The Swale in the English county of Kent. It is located in the parish of Iwade around 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Sittingbourne. History The dock was first planned to service the paper making industry in Sittingbourne. The dock was planned to provide a deeper water anchorage for ships servicing the paper mill and replace the need to use the silted Milton Creek. Construction began in 1913 but was halted by the onset of World War I, although the dock was used during the war for loading ammunition. The dock was finally completed in 1919, although until 1922 it was operated by the Royal Navy. The opening of what was, at the time, Europe's largest paper mill at Kemsley, just 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the dock, in 1923 led to expansion of the facility. It was linked to both the paper mill at Kemsley and Sittingbourne Paper Mill by the Bowaters Paper Railway, a light railway network. Part of this is preserved as the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway. The dock facility was damaged in the 1953 flood event. Parts of the dock were used by Sheerness Steelworks from 1973 until the closure of the steel works in 2002. After Finnish based paper company Metsa Serla bought the paper making plants of Bowater in 1998, the decision was made to sell the docks. Operations Ridham Dock is on The Swale covering an area of 65 acres (26 ha). It is located immediately to the east of the Kingsferry Bridge and Sheppey Crossing linking the Isle of Sheppey to the mainland. It is linked to the A249 trunk road which provides access to the UK road network, including the M2 and M20 motorways, and to the national rail network via the Sheerness Line. A shunting locomotive operates at the dock. The dock is operated by Ridham Sea Terminals and can accommodate shipping up to 5,000 long tons (5,100 t) in four NAABSA (Not Always Afloat But Safely Aground) berths. It has the capacity to load vessels using a 23 metres (75 ft) electric conveyor with a 40 tonne capacity crane available to load and unload containers. The dock has around 11,400 square metres (123,000 sq ft) of warehousing as well as open storage capacity. Combined heat and power plant A combined heat and power plant with a net electrical capacity of 23 megawatts began construction in April 2013. The plant will be operated by German company MVV Energie and is expected to open in spring 2015. The plant will use around 172,000 tonnes of waste wood, including fibreboard and chipboard, a year to generate about 188 million kilowatt-hours of energy.

Ripple Nature Reserve

Ripple Nature Reserve is an 8.3-hectare (21-acre) Site of Metropolitan Importance for Nature Conservation and Local Nature Reserve in Dagenham in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. It is owned by the borough council. The site is a mixture of woodland, scrub and grassland. Most soils in London are acidic, but this site has a very alkaline soil due to the dumping of fuel ash, and can therefore support locally unusual plants. The most important of these are pyramidal and southern marsh orchids, grey club-rush and wild basil. The site also has large numbers of rabbits and goldfinches. Some rare species of insects are present, including emerald damselfly. Access is at the corner of Renwick Road and Thames Road. References External links "The Ripple Nature Reserve".

Rippon Tor Rifle Range

Rippon Tor Rifle Range is a disused rifle range from World War II on Dartmoor, Devon, England. The range is situated southeast of the 473 m high Rippon Tor, near the village Widecombe-in-the-Moor, and close to the road between Halshanger and Cold East Cross. History The outbreak of World War II in 1939 resulted in much of Dartmoor being used for military training, particularly artillery firing. As part of the training facilities, a new rifle range was built near Rippon Tor in 1942. In 1948, the government confirmed the range would remain open for the use of local units of the Territorial Army. Dartmoor was granted National Park status in 1951 and its managing authority spent years campaigning for military training in Dartmoor to be transferred elsewhere. The authority considered the range at Rippon Tor to be dangerous to nearby walkers. The range was closed in 1977 as an implementation of the recommendations of the Nugent Committee. The committee was formed in 1971 to consider military landholdings in respect of training requirements and the public animosity surrounding the use of sites in areas like Dartmoor. The committee's recommendations were made in 1973, which, including the release of some land at Okehampton and the range at Rippon Tor, aimed to reach "the best possible compromise between the Army's training requirements and the national park's amenity requirements". Although some called for the range's demolition after its closure, including the Dartmoor Preservation Association, the landowner decided to retain it as a piece of wartime archaeology. At the time, the cost of demolition was expected to be "tremendous", and the use of lead in the core of the range's construction was an environmental concern if demolition were to be carried out. Design The range has a north–south alignment and spans an approximate distance of 600 metres in length and 80 metres in width. The range's stop butt is built of brick, and is approximately 55 metres long, 15.5 metres wide and 9.2 metres high. It is supported by nineteen buttresses on the north side and six buttresses each on the east and west sides. The back stop (the receiving end) is infilled with earth, gravel and sand to form a sloping bank southwards. On the opposite side of the butt is the markers' gallery, which is an earth-covered structure of concrete and brick. It retains the mechanism that once raised and lowered its twelve Hythe pattern target frames. Adjoining it on the east side is the former target store and workshop. There are six earthwork firing points which are set approximately 91.5 metres apart to the east. To the south-west, at the entrance to the range site, is the former concrete troop shelter, toilet block, possible vehicle park and service road. A likely pumping station for the range, next to the road between Cold East Cross and Halshanger Cross, was noted in a survey of the site in 2010. The remains of a water storage structure, located close to the butts, contains four galvanised storage tanks. The fencing along the boundary of the range has been removed, but the posts remain.

Rotherfield Park

Rotherfield Park is a country house and estate located in East Tisted, East Hampshire in England. The park originated as a medieval hunting park, which may have been predated by a settlement and was later in the 18th century turned into pleasure grounds. The land owned by the park stretches across much of East Hampshire and includes fields in Colemore, Priors Dean, East Tisted and other parishes. In 1815–21 large changes were made to the older estate house; the designs were made by architect Joseph T. Parkinson and is a Grade I listed building. History Rotherfield Park is an ancient estate first mentioned in 1015 as Hrytherafeld meaning 'the open land for cattle.' There was likely settlement here predating the medieval hunting park which is first mentioned in the 16th century. The evidence for the park can still be seen today as a complex of ditches running around the estate. The estate has undergone a number of changes over the centuries, the first major one being the creation of pleasure grounds there in the 18th century, of which many features still exist. A detailed map of the estate was made at some point in the 1600s (see right), it is likely stored in the Rotherfield Park Estate Archives along with a wealth of other records which has unfortunately been kept hidden from researchers and historians. Archaeology Near to the park is a large amount of artifacts of prehistoric activity. Large flint scatters from the Neolithic were uncovered during field walking in the 1970s, and prehistoric ceramic finds dot the area, suggesting settlement. This along with other flint concentrations in nearby Chawton and Ropley suggests a potentially broad area of prehistoric settlement which requires more archaeological attention from local archaeological groups. Points of interest The house was owned by the local MP and High Sheriff of Hampshire, James Winter Scott, in the 1860s. It was used as a filming location for the 1983 feature film House of the Long Shadows, the 1997 TV remake of du Maurier's Rebecca, and the 2006 Agatha Christie's Poirot episode After the Funeral. Rotherfield Park was also used in the fourth season of Grantchester (2019), for the scenes around the manor house owned by the new vicar's parents.

St Clement's High School

St Clement's High School is a coeducational secondary school with academy status, located in the village of Terrington St Clement, in the English county of Norfolk. History Having at first been judged one of the most improved comprehensives in England in 2000, St. Clement's was judged to be inadequate in March 2013 after an Ofsted inspection and was placed in special measures. The school converted to academy status on 1 February 2014. St Clement's High School became part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust alongside three other high schools and a number of primary schools. In January 2017, an Ofsted inspection judged the school to be good, citing the work of a "diligent headteacher" and stating that "The historic low performance, and poor pupil behaviour, of the predecessor school are in the past". Academics Virtually all maintained schools and academies follow the National Curriculum, and are inspected by Ofsted on how well they succeed in delivering a 'broad and balanced curriculum'. The school has to decide whether to try to compress the three year Key Stage 3 into two. St Clements has decided that it is more important to give its students a broad basic education before starting the GCSE exam orientated Key Stage 4. St Clement features overseas residential trips to Berlin, New York and the World War I battlefields. There are biennial ski- trips to Austria. Parents are given two years warning so they can save up- and to maximise the number of students who can participate. Key Stage 3 Students are taught in five ability groups. Each student is placed in a separate ability set for English and Maths and in a third ability set for all other subjects as shown below. Ability sets are reviewed regularly to ensure each student is appropriately placed. During year 9 students provision of CIAG will increase and students will be given more focused careers guidance and subject advice in preparation for choosing their options for KS4. From September 2020 students make their decisions in the Summer term of Year 9 and start their GCSE courses at the start of Year 10. Key Stage 4 All students follow courses in English, maths, science and PE. In addition, all students must study history, geography or French, and they then choose up to three additional subjects from those available as shown in the table below: The statutory content in Religious Studies is covered in PSHE.
