20 Fenchurch Street

20 Fenchurch Street – wieżowiec w londyńskim City, zlokalizowany przy Fenchurch Street. Budynek ma charakterystyczną rozszerzającą się ku górze sylwetkę, której zawdzięcza swoją potoczną nazwę – Walkie-Talkie. Parter budynku, o powierzchni około 1600 m², przeznaczony jest pod działalność handlową. Na wyższych kondygnacjach znajduje się przestrzeń biurowa. Na trzech najwyżej położonych piętrach znajduje się publicznie dostępny ogród i obiekty gastronomiczne. Zbudowany w latach 2009–2014 biurowiec liczy 160 m wysokości i 38 kondygnacji – 36 nad poziomem terenu i dwie podziemne. W 2019 roku był to 13. pod względem wysokości budynek w Londynie, a 14. w Wielkiej Brytanii. Jego projektantem był urugwajski architekt Rafael Viñoly. Stylistyka wieżowca spotkała się z mieszanymi reakcjami londyńczyków i specjalistów branżowych. W 2015 roku biurowiec został laureatem nagrody Carbuncle Cup, przyznawanej corocznie przez czasopismo architektoniczne Building Design „najbrzydszemu budynkowi w Wielkiej Brytanii”. W 2013 roku nieukończony jeszcze wieżowiec stał się przedmiotem nagłośnionego medialnie incydentu. Południowa fasada przeszklonego budynku odbijała światło słoneczne, kierując je skoncentrowane na okoliczne ulice, topiąc elementy karoserii zaparkowanych samochodów, przypalając asortyment na wystawach sklepowych i wyrządzając innego rodzaju szkody. By temu zapobiec na oknach wieżowca wkrótce zainstalowano łamacze świateł. Od 2017 roku właścicielem wieżowca jest hongkoński konglomerat Lee Kum Kee, który zakupił go od poprzedniego właściciela za kwotę £1,3 mld. Przypisy
20 Fenchurch Street

20 Fenchurch Street är en kontorsbyggnad i centrala London som ofta kallas the Walkie Talkie på grund av sin form. Den utsågs till Storbritanniens fulaste byggnad år 2015. Skyskrapan, som är 160 meter hög, har 34 våningar och planteringar på toppen är ersättning för en byggnad som revs år 2008. Byggnaden har ritats av den colombianske arkitekten Rafael Viñoly och skulle ursprungligen ha varit 200 meter hög, men fick ritas om då den bedömdes bli för dominerande i förhållande till Sankt Paulskatedralen och Towern. Den stora trädgården i tre våningar, som hade planerats på toppen av skyskrapan, har reducerats till en mindre plantering som kan besökas av allmänheten med restriktioner. Under byggnadstiden uppstod skador på parkerade fordon på grund av att solen reflekterades av byggnadens konkava glasytor och man tvingades montera markiser på södra sidan. Källor

Shoreham railway station

Shoreham railway station serves Shoreham in Kent, England. It is 22 miles 52 chains (36.5 km) down the line from London Victoria and is situated between Eynsford and Otford. Train services are provided by Thameslink. History Shoreham Station was opened by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway on 2 June 1862, the same day as the Swanley to Sevenoaks Bat & Ball opened. The line was initially single track - the second track opened in 1863. The line through Shoreham between Bickley and Sevenoaks was electrified in 1935 and electric services began calling at Shoreham in the same year. The ticket office here was closed in 1992, having been staffed only during part of the day; these days, a PERTIS passenger-operated ticket machine issues 'Permits to Travel' - which are exchanged on-train or at staffed stations for travel tickets - and is located on the Ashford-bound platform. This has since been replaced by a modern ticket machine. The platforms are connected by a concrete footbridge - a typical product of the Southern Railway concrete factory at Exmouth Junction. Facilities There are shelters with benches on both platforms as well as a ticket machine and modern help point. There is step free access to the Sevenoaks bound platform but the London bound platform is only accessible via the stepped footbridge. There is a small (free) car park at the station entrance. The station is unstaffed. Services All services at Shoreham are operated by Thameslink using Class 700 EMUs. The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is: 2 tph to London Blackfriars via Catford 2 tph to Sevenoaks During the peak hours, the service to London Blackfriars is extended to and from Welwyn Garden City via Finsbury Park. Connections Go-Coach route 2 serves the station. References External links Train times and station information for Shoreham railway station from National Rail
Hounslow railway station

Hounslow railway station, on the Hounslow Loop Line, is in the London Borough of Hounslow, in Greater London, and is in London fare zone 5. The station and all trains serving it are operated by South Western Railway. History The London and South Western Railway opened the calling point on 1 February 1850 on completion of the bridges and embankments at Isleworth station. A temporary station had opened as "Hounslow" 400 metres northeast of the present Isleworth station on 22 August 1849 to allow a service to run until the loop was connected and the line complete. After this point the main commercial businesses of Hounslow and landmark buildings moved westward along Staines Road, Hounslow's fledgling high street and a major then-artery serving London and the south-west to reflect the new position of the railway station serving the nascent town. The Victoria County History series local historian Susan Reynolds, in 1962, noted "...it was not until the very end [of the nineteenth century] that there were any houses to speak of to the south of the station." A resident station master was installed at the replacement Hounslow station in the early years and ceased to occupy the station house in the mid 20th century. A total of £650,000 was spent for alterations over four months in the early 2010s including a larger booking hall and toilet, access for people with disabilities and low-energy, semi-automated lighting. Services All services at Hounslow are operated by South Western Railway. The typical off-peak service in trains per hour is: 2 tph to London Waterloo via Brentford 2 tph to Weybridge via Staines Additional services, including trains to and from London Waterloo via Richmond call at the station during the peak hours. On Sundays, the service is reduced to hourly in each direction and westbound trains run to and from Woking instead of Weybridge. Connections London Buses route 281 serves the station. Service expansion schemes Two early 21st century proposals short of central government pledge stage, or Network Rail proposals, exist for the Hounslow Loop Line, further details of which are mentioned at Syon Lane. In 2017 a proposal to extend the London Overground network to Hounslow was announced by the London Assembly and Transport for London. The scheme, known as the West London Orbital envisages re-opening the Dudding Hill Line to passenger services and running trains from West Hampstead Thameslink and Hendon to Hounslow via the planned Old Oak Common Lane station. The plans are currently at public consultation stage with TfL. In popular culture The station was featured in the music video for the 1982 Depeche Mode song See You. The line "Jeffrey, take the 9pm to Hounslow out of your mouth" is stated by character Stewie Griffin in the Family Guy episode "Dammit Janet!" (2000).

Campbell Park

Campbell Park is the name of the central park for Milton Keynes (England) and an electoral ward of the civil parish of Central Milton Keynes. (The nearby civil parish called Campbell Park previously included the park but no longer does so. It did not change its name after the park district was transferred to CMK Town Council). The park is listed (grade 2) "due to its historic interest and innovative architectural design". The park The park, part of Central Milton Keynes civil parish (rather than Campbell Park CP), takes up the larger part of the district. It was named in honour of the first chairman of Milton Keynes Development Corporation, Jock Campbell, Baron Campbell of Eskan. It is accessed from the main retail/service/entertainment district at the end of Midsummer Boulevard by a footbridge over the Marlborough Street (B4146, V8) cutting. From here, the park slopes downwards to the Grand Union Canal. A junction between the Grand Union and a new Bedford & Milton Keynes Waterway is proposed for this area. The park is listed (grade 2) by Historic England, and had previously attracted praise in the Pevsner Architectural Guides: Campbell Park, the city park, links central MK to a vast swathe of parkland down to the Ouse Valley, in all the largest and most imaginative park to have been laid out in Britain in the 20th century. The magnificently generous city park [is] on the right scale for the city. It lies on axis with the shopping centre and rises to a mound, intentionally reminiscent of a prehistoric site, before spreading out with an exhilarating panorama over Newlands, Willen Lake and its surrounding parkland, with which it makes a single tract of countryside. Milton Keynes Rose The Rose, at the west end of the park and nearest to the MK's central business district, "is a public space designed for commemoration, celebration and contemplation". As well as a central Cenotaph, the installation includes markers for a wide variety of historical events. When Queen Elizabeth II died in September 2022, the MK Rose was used by locals as a place to lay floral tributes. Belvedere and the Light Pyramid Leading east from the Rose, the Belvedere is level path leading to the Light Pyramid, a sculptural beacon designed by Liliane Lijn. The ground on either side falls away so that most of the path is on an increasingly elevated embankment. Events plateau and amphitheatre These spaces are used for community events and biennially for IF: Milton Keynes, the Milton Keynes International Festival. This area is also known for hosting Milton Keynes-based events such as India Day and the African Diaspora Foundation Festival. The amphitheatre has also hosted concerts featuring acts such as Steps, Paloma Faith, and Will Young. Cricket ground Campbell Park Cricket Ground and its pavilion lie at the east end of the park, near the Grand Union Canal. Parks Trust headquarters The Milton Keynes Parks Trust has its headquarters building at the eastern end of the park, near the cricket ground.

HMS Victory

L' HMS Victory és un vaixell britànic que va participar en la batalla de Trafalgar com a vaixell insígnia de l'almirall Horatio Nelson. En aquest vaixell Nelson va morir com a conseqüència d'un tret de mosquet que va entrar per la seva espatlla esquerra i va baixar directament fins a les costelles, trencant-ne dues, que perforà el seu pulmó esquerre i va tallar l'artèria pulmonar, provocant una lenta mort en entrar sang al pulmó amb cada batec del cor de l'almirall. Aquest vaixell està fondejat permanentment a la ciutat de Portsmouth com a museu. Actualment té tripulació i fins i tot capità, essent una de les peces més simbòliques del la Royal Navy per la seva importància en la seva última batalla, que donaria a Anglaterra superioritat marítima durant gairebé un segle. El Victory com a vaixell de línia a la batalla de Trafalgar disposava de 104 canons. Coberta inferior: 30 canons de 32 lliures. Coberta mitjana: 28 canons de 24 lliures. Coberta superior: 30 canons de 12 lliures (llargs). 4a Coberta: 12 canons de 12 lliures (curts). Castell: 2 canons de 12 lliures (mitjans). Castell: 2 carronades de 68 lliures. L'HMS Victory, continua actiu com a vaixell insígnia del segon lord del mar, i és el vaixell més antic del món en servei, amb trenta anys d'avantatge sobre l'USS Constitution. En la seva tasca com a vaixell museu, rep al voltant de 350.000 visitants l'any. Vegeu també HMS Ardent (1764) Galeria Referències Enllaços externs HMS Victory - Lloc web oficial (anglès)

HMS Victory (1765)

HMS Victory (His Majesty's Ship Victory) is een oorlogsschip dat dienstdeed bij de Britse Marine in de achttiende en negentiende eeuw en speelde een belangrijke rol in de zeeslag bij Trafalgar waar ze de Franse en Spaanse schepen versloeg als vlaggenschip van admiraal Horatio Nelson. Sinds 1922 ligt het schip in droogdok nr. 2 (het oudste droogdok ter wereld) in Portsmouth en trekt als museumschip ongeveer 350.000 bezoekers per jaar. Het is, hoewel niet meer zeewaardig, nog steeds in dienst bij de Britse marine als vlaggenschip, sinds 2012 van de First Sea Lord. Het is daarmee het oudste, nog in dienst zijnde, oorlogsschip ter wereld. Het schip kwam in 1778 (de bouw duurde 6 jaar) in dienst als linieschip van het eerste charter. Het schip had 850 opvarenden en 102 gietijzeren kanonnen en carronades aan boord die op drie dekken stonden opgesteld. Tezamen konden zij 500 kg ijzer in één salvo meer dan een halve zeemijl ver schieten. Daarbij verbruikten de kanonniers 200 kg kruit. Op die afstand sloeg een projectiel uit het zwaarste kanon (32 ponder) nog altijd een gat in eikenhout van 60 cm dik. De kiel is van iepenhout terwijl de romp uit eiken bestaat. De masten zijn driedelig en gemaakt uit vurenhout omdat dit flexibel is. Alleen al voor de constructie van de zware spanten en dubbele huidbeplanking had men 2500 volwassen bomen van een eeuw oud nodig. Het schip kan in totaal 5468 m² zeildoek voeren en de lengte van de tuigage bedraagt bijna 42 km. Midscheeps staat er een dubbele kaapstander waarin 260 man draaibomen van essenhout als spaken in de kop van de gangspil staken om zo de twee ankers van elk bijna vijf ton te lichten bij vertrek. Bij slecht weer stonden 150 mannen aan de pompen te zwoegen om 120 ton water per uur uit de romp te verwijderen. Externe links Officiële website HMS Victory
Victory (1765)

Victory är ett 104-kanoners linjeskepp i Storbritanniens flotta. Fartyget byggdes mellan 1759 och 1765. Hon är det äldsta örlogsfartyget som ännu är i tjänst och det enda kvarvarande linjeskeppet. Idag är hon i torrdocka i Portsmouth som ett museifartyg inne på Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. Fartyget ritades av sir Thomas Slade och byggdes vid Chathams docka för den brittiska flottan. Hon kölsträcktes den 23 juli 1759 vid den gamla singeldockan (Old Single Dock) från 1623 vid Chathams docka. Det gick åt cirka 3500 fullvuxna ekar för bygget, plus teak till bland annat kölen. Den 7 maj 1765 sjösattes hon flytande ut ur dockan. Hon hade styrbords slagsida så man var tvungen att tillföra 38 ton ballast extra. Totalkostnaden för fartyget var £63 176. Slaget vid Trafalgar Slaget vid Trafalgar utkämpades den 21 oktober 1805. HMS Victory var amiral Horatio Nelsons flaggskepp. Slaget omöjliggjorde en fransk invasion av Storbritannien. Hon skadades i master och rigg och Amiral Nelson stupade under slaget. Besättning 441 engelsmän, 64 skottar, 63 irländare, 18 walesare, 3 shetländare, 2 från Kanalöarna, 1 från Isle of Man. 71 utländska: 22 amerikaner, 7 nederländare, 6 svenskar, 4 italienare, 4 maltesare, 3 fransmän (frivilliga), 3 tyskar, 3 norrmän, 2 schweizare, 2 danskar, 2 portugiser, 2 indier, 1 ryss, 1 afrikan, 9 från de Västindiska Öarna. Victory i Östersjön Åren 1808-1812 var Victory flaggskepp för amiral James Saumarez som förde befäl över Storbritanniens baltiska flotta under det Finska kriget (1808-1809) och det formellt förklarade men i verkligheten aldrig förda kriget mellan Sverige och Storbritannien 1810-1812. Restaureringen Den 20 mars 1922 påbörjades en restauration Victory av Society for Nautical Research för att återställa fartyget till samma skick som hon hade vid slaget vid Trafalgar. HMS Victorys föregångare Den nuvarande HMS Victory är det femte skeppet att bära namnet, de andra skeppen sjösattes 1620, 1695, 1737 och 1764. Vrakletare uppgavs ha funnit HMS Victorys föregångare, som sjösattes 1737 med samma namn, i Engelska kanalen i januari 2009. Det återfunna fartyget sägs ha varit en av de största marinhistoriska mysterierna ända sedan hon sjönk den 5 oktober 1744 med omkring 900 personer ombord. Enligt uppgift fanns fartygsvraket långt från den plats där man förväntat sig att det skulle finnas. HMS Victory (d.ä.) var för sin tid ett av de kraftigaste och mest tekniskt framskridna krigsfartygen. Utöver de olika kanoner - 12-punds respektive 42-punds - som skattsökarna uppger sig ha hittat, sias det om den mängd silver- och guldmynt som kan tänkas rymmas i vraket. Det har ryktats om att det kan röra sig om fyra ton guld i form av guldmynt. Den brittiska marinmyndigheten kommer emellertid att göra gällande att vraket tillhör den brittiska kronan. Saken kommer så småningom att avgöras av domstol. Referenser Externa länkar Wikimedia Commons har media som rör Victory (1765).
Redbridge Town Hall

Redbridge Town Hall is a municipal building in High Road, Ilford, London. The town hall, which is the headquarters of Redbridge London Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building. History In the late 19th century, Ilford local board was based in rooms above a shop in Cranbrook Road, and after it became an urban district in 1895, it moved into a rented schoolroom in Ilford Hall in High Road in 1898. Civic leaders decided this arrangement was inadequate for their needs and that they would procure a new town hall: the site chosen, which was already on the council's ownership, had been occupied by the local fire station. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by Councillor William Walter Gilson, Chairman of Ilford Urban District Council, on 17 March 1900. It was designed by Ben Woollard in the Renaissance style and was opened as Ilford Town Hall in December 1901. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto High Road; the central section featured a triple-round-arched entrance on the ground floor; on the first floor there was alcove and a balcony flanked by Ionic order columns; there was a cupola with Ionic order pavilions at each corner at roof level. There were also separate porches on either side at the front of the building giving access to the public hall to the east and the council offices to the west. Internally, the principal rooms were the public hall, the council chamber and the mayor's parlour. The building went on to become the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Ilford when the Duke and Duchess of York arrived to present the Royal charter on 21 October 1926. Also present at the charter ceremony was the Lord Lieutenant of Essex, Lord Lambourne, who was subsequently commemorated when the mayor's refreshment room was re-named in his memory. A library was built to the south to the designs of the borough engineer, H. Shaw, in 1927 and further alterations were carried out, infilling the area between the town hall and the library, to the designs of the then borough engineer, L. E .J. Reynolds, in 1933. The town hall was covered with flags and bunting in May 1945 to celebrate Victory in Europe Day towards the end of the Second World War. The building continued to serve as the headquarters of the municipal borough for much of the 20th century and continued to be the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Redbridge was formed in 1965. It also continued to be used as a venue for large events and also as the local registrars' office. The former library was converted into an art gallery, known as Space Ilford, which opened in December 2019. The London Borough of Redbridge continues to hold its council meetings in the town hall.
