Shifford Lock

Shifford Lock is a lock on the River Thames in England. It is in the centre of a triangle formed by the small villages of Shifford, Duxford and Chimney in Oxfordshire. It is at the start of a navigation cut built with the lock by the Thames Conservancy in 1898. This was the only new lock built on the non-tidal Thames in the era of falling revenue after the Thames Conservancy took over responsibilities of the Thames Navigation Commission. It replaced a flash lock in a weir about 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) downstream. There is a small weir beside the lock and a larger weir on the old course of the river upstream at the top of the lock cut. History The original flash lock was in a weir close to the entrance to Great Brook. This was removed between 1829 and 1853, and there were later complaints about the lack of draught in the river. Discussion of the possibility of the new lock only began in 1896 and two years later it was open. The lock cut was based on a pre-existing side channel which was considerably widened. After the lock was built, the towpath around the old navigation channel fell into disuse. There were moves to have it called Chimney Lock, but the name Shifford Lock was adopted. Access to the lock The lock can be reached on foot from Chimney about a mile away. Reach above the lock The cut is about a mile long, and halfway along is the Shifford Cut Footbridge. The cut rejoins the old course of the river and continues past Chimney. Further along the reach there is another wooden footbridge, Tenfoot Bridge and after that is Tadpole Bridge. The Thames Path starts on the south bank of the cut, crosses over on Shifford Cut Footbridge and then continues on the north bank beyond the cut to Rushey Lock.

Shining Cliff Woods, Derbyshire

Shining Cliff Woods are on the west bank of the River Derwent near to Ambergate in Derbyshire, England. In medieval times "Schymynde-cliffe" was one of the seven royal parks within Duffield Frith and, as such, belonged to Edmund Crouchback, Earl of Lancaster. It was an estate within the manor of Alderwasley and in 1284 was given to William Foun who was given the job of maintaining the boundaries between the Pendleton and Peatpits Brooks. They passed to Thomas Lowe by marriage in 1471 and in 1514 he was granted by Henry VIII the right to "empark and empale" his estate and enjoy "free warren" within it. The woods include an SSSI. Some of the woodland is owned and managed by Grith Fyrd Pioneers, but the Eastern part is (like Alport Height some 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the west), in the ownership of the National Trust, and part of their South Peak Estate. This woodland is managed by Forestry England. The woods contain a popular residential centre, once managed by the Youth Hostels Association but managed independently since 2009. The hostel stands in the lee of the Shining Cliff itself, a low gritstone rockface (grid reference SK333523). To the east of Shining Cliff Wood stands Oakhurst House, a 19th-century Jacobean-Arts and Crafts country home which has fallen into partial ruin. It was built by Francis Hurt, landowner and resident of local Alderwasley Hall. The house is in private ownership and not accessible to the public. In popular culture A well-known legend has it that the nursery rhyme Rock-a-bye Baby relates to a local character in the late 18th century, Betty Kenny (Kate Kenyon), who lived in a huge yew tree in Shining Cliff Woods – now known as the "Betty Kenny Tree". This, and other myths and legends are explored in the Amberwell Pictures film Shining Cliff Woods, directed by Jake Mayo. References
Ship Canal House

Ship Canal House is a building in Manchester, England, which was built in 1927 for the Manchester Ship Canal Company. The building is located on King Street, historically the centre for Manchester's banking industry. The building was designed by Harry S Fairhurst in a neo-classical style and displays some Art Deco and Edwardian Baroque motifs, such as square windows and roof sculptures which were prevalent during the 1920s. It stands 46 metres (151 ft) tall with 11 storeys and is clad in Portland stone. It was one of the tallest office blocks in the United Kingdom when completed in 1927. The building built by J. Gerrard & Sons Ltd of Swinton was Grade II listed in 1982. Ship Canal House was sold in 2011 for £22.8 million. In 2022 it was bought by Grosvenor for £30 million.

Shiphay Manor

Shiphay Manor is a Manor house in Torquay, Devon, England. Originally a monastic grange for nearby Torre Abbey, the current house was built in 1884 of red sandstone rubble. Adjacent is a ruined barn which has been designated a Grade II listed building. The house has been used as a hotel, a riding school, night club and then school building. History There is documentation regarding Shiphay Manor from the 16th century, apparently a monastic grange linked to Torre Abbey. A previous incarnation of the manor was erected in around 1665, the manor was sold to William Kitson of Painsford in 1740, and then torn down and rebuilt in 1884. In 1884, the rebuilt manor was created in red sandstone rubble, with moulded red brick chimney stacks. The roof was made of pantiles, ridged with terracotta. The front aspect is two storeys high, with an off-centre two-storey porch. The nearby 15th century barn adjacent to the manor, which may have held a 12th-century chapel, has been designated Grade II listed status. The barn is constructed from grey sandstone rubble, and has fallen into ruin, currently without a roof. An outhouse built onto the barn in the 19th century did include a corrugated iron roof. The corrugated roof has since been removed. The building has had several uses through the 20th century, including a country club hotel and a riding school. During the 1970s, the ground floor was boarded up. Soon after, the manor was used as a high class private members club, which was owned by the Mathews Brothers with live performances the venue was popular. In the early 1990s, the Mathews brothers closed all their nightclubs. The Manor became the Torquay Girls' Grammar School 6th form block in the 1980s but is now part of Torquay Boys' Grammar School.

Shiplake Railway Bridge

Shiplake Railway Bridge carries the Henley Branch Line to Henley-on-Thames, England across the River Thames, connecting Shiplake in Oxfordshire with Wargrave in Berkshire. It crosses the river just downstream of Shiplake Lock on the reach above Marsh Lock. History and construction The current bridge was built in 1897. It consists of wrought-iron plate girders supported by cast-iron cylinders filled with concrete. It replaces an earlier timber bridge built in 1857. There were originally two tracks, but the whole line is now single track only; the cylinders which supported the second track still stand today. The 'Millennium Bridge' that never was In the late 1990s the bridge was the focus of controversy spanning several years after local politicians sought funding from the Millennium Commission to transform it into the 'Millennium Bridge'. The intention was to create a major local tourist attraction by using the supports for the redundant track as the basis for a secondary bridge which would connect walkers' leisure routes and link to a new section of the National Cycle Network. The proposals split the opinions of the residents of the two villages the bridge was to join. Many in Wargrave saw the advantages of an easy crossing to Shiplake, whilst there were many in Shiplake who were concerned the riverbank was going to be overrun with visitors' cars. Residents in Shiplake formed the Shiplake Bridge Concern Group which for several years ran a campaign to get the plans modified. When the plans, which had only been changed in minor ways, were finally put before the South Oxfordshire District Council an all-time record number of objections was received. Although planning permission for the 'Millennium Bridge' was ultimately granted after several re-submissions, the delays created by those campaigning against it resulted in the project being abandoned on cost grounds: it had been costed in the mid-90s when the building industry was in recession, but by the time the go-ahead was given the economy was booming again and the projected costs had doubled.

Museu Imperial de la Guerra

El Museu Imperial de la Guerra és un museu britànic que va ser fundat durant la Primera Guerra Mundial, l'any 1917. El museu té dividida la seva col·lecció en cinc localitzacions diferents. L'edifici principal del museu es troba a Londres i l'exposició permanent està dedicada bàsicament a la història de la Primera Guerra Mundial. A la ciutat de Londres també hi trobem el Museu Churchill, situat a l'interior del centre de comandament de Churchill durant la Segona Guerra Mundial, i el vaixell de guerra HMS Belfast, atracat davant mateix de la Torre de Londres. Fora de la capital anglesa hi ha El Museu Imperial de la Guerra de Duxford, dedicat a l'aeronàutica, i el Museu Imperial de la Guerra del Nord, ubicat a la ciutat de Manchester i inaugurat l'any 2002. Història El Regne Unit ha participat en les dues guerres mundials del segle xx. Durant la Primera Guerra Mundial els britànics van lluitar al cantó dels aliats: França, Sèrbia, l'Imperi Rus, els Estats Units i Itàlia, vencent a l'Imperi Alemany, l'Imperi Austrohongarès, l'Imperi Turc i Bulgària. Els països vencedors van imposar fortes sancions econòmiques i polítiques als països derrotats. Entre aquests països Alemanya en va sortir fortament perjudicada i la derrota, la humiliació i la crisi que vivia el país van fer que cada cop tinguessin més èxit partits radicals com el Partit Nacional Socialista dels Treballadors Alemanys, liderat per Hitler. L'èxit del nacionalsocialisme fou tan esclatant que el 30 de gener de 1933 Hitler va convertir-se en Canceller d'Alemanya. Sis anys després, l'Alemanya nazi envairia Polònia i començaria la Segona Guerra Mundial, en la que el Regne Unit tornà a participar lluitant al costat dels aliats i vencedors del conflicte bèl·lic.

Jeho sbírky obsahují vojenská vozidla, zbraně, knihovnu, fotografický archív a umělecká díla vztahující se k válečným konfliktům 20. století, speciálně těch, kterých se účastnila Velká Británie. Budova na Lambeth Road je centrálou několika poboček. Muzeum je částečně subvencováno vládou ale je závislé i na soukromých příspěvcích. Sbírky muzea Obsahem sbírek muzea nejsou výhradně jen britské exponáty, ale obsahují i předměty z Francie, USA, Německa, Itálie a Ruska. Jeho rozsáhlé sbírky zahrnují více než 15 000 obrazů, kreseb a soch a více než 30 000 plakátů. Podle informací muzea jsou v jeho sbírkách „předměty od letadel, obrněných bojových vozidel a plavidel až po uniformy, nášivky označující příslušnost k druhu zbraně, osobní výstroj, medaile, dokumenty, knihovna s více než 155 000 svazky; 40 milionů metrů filmu a více než 6 500 hodin videa; více než 6 milionů fotografií a negativů“. Před vchodem do muzea jsou umístěna dvě děla z křižníků Royal Navy. Historie Imperial War Museum původně sídlilo v Crystal Palace na Sydenham Hill. Bylo založeno roku 1917 pro připomínku padlých v první světové válce (která ještě v době založení muzea probíhala). Poté, co byla 30. listopadu 1936 budova muzea zničena požárem, bylo pro ně nalezeno nové místo. Budova, v níž v současnosti sídlí centrála muzea, byla původně psychiatrickou nemocnicí – Bethlem Royal Hospital. Od roku 1939 muzeum shromažďovalo i předměty vztahující se k druhé světové válce a od roku 1953 byly do sbírek zařazovány exponáty ze všech válečných konfliktů, v nichž se Velká Británie angažovala. Po skončení druhé světové války věnovala muzeu více než 3000 uměleckých děl War Artists' Advisory Committee, Poradní výbor pro válečné umění, což byla britská vládní agentura založená v rámci Ministerstva informací s cílem sestavit komplexní umělecký a dokumentární dokument o dějinách Británie během války. Pobočky Muzeum má ve Velké Británii několik poboček: Churchillovo muzeum a Cabinet War Rooms – bunkr v němž jednala britská vláda v době druhé světové války HMS Belfast – bitevní křižník zakotvený na Temži nedaleko od Tower Bridge Imperial War Museum Duxford – letecké muzeum Imperial War Museum North – nová pobočka založená roku 2002 pro lepší přístup k exponátům pro obyvatele severní části země Externí odkazy Obrázky, zvuky či videa k tématu Imperiální válečné muzeum na Wikimedia Commons Galerie Imperiální válečné muzeum na Wikimedia Commons
Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum er et museum i London, etableret i 1917, som viser konflikter fra det 20. århundrede og senere, især hvor Storbritannien har været involveret. Museet indeholder militære køretøjer, våben, krigsminder, et bibliotek, et fotoarkiv og en kunstsamling samt andet krigsrelateret. Museet er delvist subsidieret af regeringen, men er også afhængigt af individuelle bidrag. Museet Genstandene på museet er ikke udelukkende britiske, men inkluderer også andre nationers krige fra den tid, især Frankrig, USA, Tyskland, Italien og Rusland. De store samlinger indeholder over 15.000 malerier, tegninger og skulpturer og over 30.000 plakater. Udenfor hovedindgangen er monteret to 15" søværnskanoner fra tidligere Royal Navy krigsskibe. Kanonen til venstre stammer fra HMS Ramillies, et krigsskib som tjente fra 1916 til 1941. Kanonen til højre (som set fra museet) var monteret på krigsskibet HMS Resolution, som var i tjeneste fra 1915 til 1938 og var monteret på HMS Roberts, som tog del i D-dag bombardementerne. Historie Imperial War Museum lå fra sin grundlæggelse i det nye Crystal Palace. Museet blev grundlagt der i 1917 for at hylde de døde i 1. verdenskrig (som endnu ikke var slut). Da Crystal Palace brændte ned 30. november 1936, måtte man finde et nyt sted. Man blev enige om at bruge en bygning i Lambeth. Bygningen, designet af Sydney Smirke, var oprindeligt et sindssygehospital, Bethlem Royal Hospital (eller bare "Bedlam"). I 1939 begyndte museet at inkludere effekter der relaterede til 2. verdenskrig, og i 1953 begyndte den nuværende politik med at inkludere effekter fra alle moderne britiske konflikter. Besøg på museet Indgang er gratis, men der kan dog være entre for specielle udstillinger. Donationer accepteres. Museet er åbent dagligt fra 10.00 til 18.00.
