Arno's Court Triumphal Arch

Arno's Court Triumphal Arch (grid reference ST612716) is an 18th-century monument on Junction Road in Brislington, Bristol, England. Description The arch was built around 1760 by James Bridges, for William Reeve, a prominent local Quaker and businessman. It is built from Bath stone, of classical proportions but with Gothic and Moorish detail. In its current position, next to the main A4 road, it marked the entrance to the (since demolished) Arno's Court Bath House. A plaque on the arch states that it was moved from its original position, at the entrance to the Black Castle, in 1912 and was fully renovated in 1995. The arch was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1959. Carvings The niches on each side of the arch once contained carvings from the demolished City Gates. The rear elevation is much simpler than the front, and includes a carving of the city's coat of arms. The four statues which decorate the archway are 20th-century copies of 13th and 14th-century originals. The original statues of King Edward I and King Edward III were set in one of the deep niches on the western side that have tent-like canopies. The original statues were taken from Bristol's Lawford's Gate that was demolished around the time of construction of the arch. Those on the east-side are 13th-century figures from Bristol's Newgate, representing Robert, the builder of Bristol Castle, and Geoffrey de Montbray, bishop of Coutances, builder of the fortified walls of Bristol. The originals of all four were removed due to their deteriorating condition in 1898 and they are now in the St Nicholas's Church Museum. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Bristol References

Arnside Tower

Arnside Tower ist ein spätmittelalterlicher Wohnturm (auch Peel Tower) zwischen Arnside und Silverdale, direkt südlich des Arnside Knott in der englischen Grafschaft Cumbria. Geschichte Der Arnside Tower wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts errichtet. Wohntürme wurden oft in den unsicheren Gegenden Nordenglands und des südlichen Schottlands gebaut. Der aus Kalksteinbruch gebaute Turm war ursprünglich fünf Stockwerke hoch und hatte eine Grundfläche von 15 Meter × 10,2 Meter. Seitlich an den Turm angebaut war ein Gebäudetrakt mit gleicher Höhe, so wie es in Schottland üblich war, in England aber selten ist. Der Historiker Anthony Emery meint, dass die Konstruktion vom Ashby de la Zouch Castle, das 1464 von Lord Hastings umgebaut wurde, beeinflusst worden sein könnte. Eine der Wände des Turms stürzte um 1900 ein, und seit 2014 gilt der Arnside Tower laut English Heritage als in sehr schlechtem Zustand, sodass Restaurierungsarbeiten dringend geboten sind. Der Arnside Tower gilt als Scheduled Monument und ist als historisches Gebäude II*. Grades gelistet. Tourismus Der Wohnturm ist in privater Hand und befindet sich in ruinösem Zustand. Das örtliche Fremdenverkehrsamt weist darauf hin, dass der Turm von einem in der Nähe vorbeiführenden Fußweg aus gut zu sehen ist. Einzelnachweise
Arnside Tower

Arnside Tower is a late-medieval tower house (or Pele tower) between Arnside and Silverdale immediately to the south of Arnside Knott in Cumbria, England. History Arnside Tower was built in the second half of the 15th century. Tower houses were built throughout the border regions of northern England and southern Scotland because of the threat posed by Border Reivers. Constructed of limestone rubble, the tower was originally five storeys high, measuring 50 feet by 34 feet. The tower was built with an adjacent wing of equal height built onto the side of the tower in a style common in Scotland, but rare in English tower houses. Historian Anthony Emery suggests that the design may have been influenced by that at Ashby de la Zouch Castle, rebuilt in 1464 by Lord Hastings. The tower suffered a serious fire in 1602 but after repairs remained in use; the historian Anthony Emery states that the tower was in use until the end of the 17th century, but the historian Roy Palmer states that William Coward and his sister Agnes Wheeler lived there at the end of the 18th century. One of the walls of the tower collapsed around 1900, and as of 2014, English Heritage considered that the condition of the castle was very bad, and that urgent works were required. Arnside Tower is a Scheduled Monument and Grade II* listed building. Tourism The tower is in private ownership and is in a ruinous state. The local tourist board recommends that good views of the tower can be seen from the public footpath which runs alongside.

Arnside Tower

La tour d'Arnside est une maison-tour médiévale tardive (ou Peel tower) entre Arnside et Silverdale immédiatement au sud d'Arnside Knott en Cumbrie, en Angleterre. Histoire La tour d'Arnside a été construite dans la seconde moitié du XVe siècle. Des maisons-tours ont été construites dans les régions frontalières du nord de l'Angleterre et du sud de l'Écosse en raison de la menace posée par Border Reivers . Construite en moellons calcaires, la tour avait à l'origine cinq étages, mesurant 50 pieds sur 34 pieds. La tour a été construite avec une aile adjacente de même hauteur construite sur le côté de la tour dans un style commun en Écosse, mais rare dans les maisons anglaises. L'historien Anthony Emery suggère que la conception peut avoir été influencée par celle du château d'Ashby de la Zouch, reconstruit en 1464 par Lord Hastings. La tour a subi un grave incendie en 1602, mais les réparations sont restées en service; l'historien Anthony Emery déclare que la tour était en service jusqu'à la fin du XVIIe siècle, mais l'historien Roy Palmer déclare que William Coward et sa sœur Agnes Wheeler y vivaient à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. L'un des murs de la tour s'est effondré vers 1900 et, en 2014, English Heritage a considéré que l'état du château était très mauvais et des travaux urgents sont nécessaires. La tour d'Arnside est un monument classé et un bâtiment classé Grade II *. Tourisme La tour est en propriété privée et est dans un état ruineux. L'office de tourisme local recommande que de bonnes vues de la tour puissent être faites depuis le sentier public qui longe.

Arreton Down

Arreton Down is a chalk hill in the central part of the Isle of Wight in southern England. It is public access land, with 29.77 hectares (73.6 acres) designated as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and 19 hectares (47 acres) managed as a nature reserve by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust. The land is marked by extensive ancient field features as yet unexcavated. Site of Special Scientific Interest Arreton Down was originally notified as an SSSI in 1979 for its geological interest. It was renotified in 1987, but for its biological interest only. The SSSI is a large area of south-sloping chalk grassland. It is grazed by cattle and horses during the winter, and is dominated by fine grasses such as red fescue and sheep's fescue. The flowering plants are typical of downland habitats and include horseshoe vetch, rock rose, wild thyme, carline thistle, pyramidal orchid, harebell, small scabious and the uncommon bastard toadflax. There are large numbers of chalkhill blue butterflies on the site as well as small blue, common blue and brown argus butterflies. There are also great green bush crickets and three other species of bush cricket. Scrubland is another habitat on the site and this is where yellowhammers, goldfinches, whitethroat and linnets breed, as well as grey partridges nesting on the ground. ravens, kestrels and buzzards can be seen overhead while barn owls hunt here during the night. Arreton Down Hoard An important Bronze Age hoard was found on Arreton Down in the eighteenth century. Comprising seven bronze spear-heads, four axes, one dagger and one halberd, it came into the possession of Sir Hans Sloane who bequeathed it to the British Museum in 1753.

RM Instow

RM Instow, also known as Arromanches Camp, is a military installation operated by the Royal Marines at Instow in North Devon located 5.2 miles (8.4 km) south west of Barnstaple, Devon, and 3.2 miles (5.1 km) north east of Bideford, Devon, England. History The site, which was established in 1939, was used as a training facility for troops preparing for the Normandy landings at Arromanches on Gold Beach in June 1944 during the Second World War. In the 1970s the towns of Instow and Arromanches instigated an arrangement whereby families visited each other's town every other year staying with a host family. Operations The site is split into two different areas, firstly the camp where the workshops and accommodation are located and secondly the beach located 1.2 miles (1.9 km) south-west which is where the main landing craft are based. The site is occupied by 11 Amphibious Trials and Training Squadron and the Amphibious Trials and Development Wing (ATDW), both of which are part of 47 Commando (Raiding Group), which carries out training for operations which include disembarking from landing craft, wading across a water gap of up to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) in depth, an activity known as fording, and arriving at a beachhead. The site is also used for trialling new landing craft: the Royal Marines have been moving away from the use of flat-bottomed landing craft or DUKWs to armed powerboats. The site is available for filming. References
Arromanches Camp

Le Royal Marines Instow (RM Instow), également connu sous le nom d'Arromanches Camp, est une installation militaire exploitée par les Royal Marines à Instow dans le nord du comté de Devon, située à 8,4 km au sud-ouest de Barnstaple, et à 5,1 km au nord-est de Bideford, en Angleterre. Historique Le site, créé en 1939, servit de centre d'entraînement aux troupes préparant le débarquement de Normandie à Arromanches sur Gold Beach le 6 juin 1944 pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dans les années 1970, les villes d'Instow et d'Arromanches ont mis en place un arrangement selon lequel les familles se rendaient mutuellement visite tous les deux ans en séjournant dans une famille d'accueil. Opérations Le site est divisé en deux zones différentes, d'une part le camp où se trouvent les ateliers et les logements et d'autre part la plage située à 1,9 km au sud-ouest où sont basées les principales péniches de débarquement. Le site est occupé par le 11ème Escadron d'essais amphibies et d'entraînement, qui fait partie du 1 Assault Group Royal Marines (en), qui effectue des entraînements pour des opérations telles que le débarquement de péniches de débarquement, pataugeant dans un écart d'eau pouvant atteindre 1,5 m dans profondeur, une activité connue sous le nom de passage à gué, et arrivée à une tête de pont. Le site est également utilisé pour tester de nouvelles péniches de débarquement : les Royal Marines ont délaissé l'utilisation de péniches de débarquement à fond plat ou DUKW au profit de bateaux à moteur armés.

Torquay United Football Club

El Torquay United Football Club és un club de futbol anglès de la ciutat de Torquay, Devon. Història El Torquay United nasqué el 1899 fundat per un grup d'ex escolars sota el lideratge del sergent major Edward Tomney. Després d'alguns amistosos ingressà a l'East Devon League i es traslladà a l'estadi Recreation Ground, mentre que l'estadi Plainmoor era ocupat pel Torquay Athletic Rugby Club. El 1904 l'Athletic llogà el camp de Recreation Ground i a Plainmoor marxà el club Ellacombe FC, restant el United sense casa, pel que retornà al seu primer estadi a Teignmouth Road. Més tard compartí camp amb el Torquay Cricket Club a Cricketfield Road. El 1909 guanyà el seu primer títol a la Torquay and District League. Un any més tard es fusionà amb el rival local Ellacombe FC i adoptà el nom Torquay Town FC, traslladant-se a Plainmoor, l'actual estadi. La temporada 1911-12 guanyà la Plymouth and District League. L'any 1921 el Town i un altre club local, el Babbacombe FC, es fusionaren adoptant novament el nom Torquay United. Aquest ingressà a la Southern League i el 1923 a la Southern League Western section, essent-ne campió l'any 1927. Després de diversos intents, aquest mateix any el club fou acceptat a la Football League Third Division. Durant aquests anys canvià el seu uniforme, de blau clar i fosc a banc i negre. L'any 1954 adoptà un nou uniforme daurat i blau, que es manté avui dia. En finalitzar la temporada 1957-58, el club descendí a la nova Football League Division Four. Fins a la temporada 2006-07 el club combina la tercera i quarta divisió anglesa. Aquesta temporada, després de 80 anys a la Football League, descendí a la categoria Conference Premier. Dues temporades més tard aconseguí retornar a la Football League Two.
