Ash Green School

Ash Green School is a coeducational secondary school rated GOOD by Ofsted in 2025 and Sixth Form with an academy status located in the city of Coventry. It teaches approximately 1,100 boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 18 and is one of the largest schools in Warwickshire. The Sixth Form Closes in 2026. The school is located near the border of Coventry and Warwickshire; although Ash Green School currently sits on the Coventry side of the border, it is governed by Warwickshire as their local authority, and follows their school holiday timetable, for example. Ash Green School's current principal is Mr Fuzel Choudhury. History Originally the site of a hospital during the 1920s, it was converted to a school some time after the Second World War. For a time during the 1980s, its name was changed to Exhall School (similar to Exhall Cedars infant school) following a merge with the comprehensive school at nearby Keresley. However, after several incidents of confusion with the nearby Exhall Grange School, Ash Green School reverted to its former name. The school has undergone significant periods of improvement in terms of exams outcomes. In 2014 100% gained A* – E at A-Level and 73% 5 A* – C at GCSE with English and Maths. In 2013 100% 5 A* – C at GCSE, 72% 5 A* – C at GCSE with English and Maths. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, all Year 11 students (100%) achieved at least 5 A* – C grades. In 2010, 67% achieved these 5 including English and Maths. 65% achieved this outcome in 2011. In January 2011 the school was ranked fourth in a list of the schools in England that had "shown the greatest sustained improvement in their GCSE attainment over the past four years." In 2011–2012, the school became an academy as part of the Creative Education Trust. In July 2012, the school was formally recognised as a provider for Post 16 education. The Sixth Form Centre opened in September 2012 and accommodates students studying AS, A Level courses and BTEC courses.

Ash Grove bus garage

Ash Grove bus garage is a bus garage in Hackney, East London (hence the HK code) owned by London Buses. It is located on Ash Grove, off Mare Street, north of the Regent's Canal and is occupied by Stagecoach London. The garage was opened in April 1981 by London Transport and has been leased to a number of bus operators over the years. History Ash Grove is one of three new garages opened in 1981 by London Transport at a cost of £3.5 million. It had space for 140 buses undercover and a further 30 in the yard. The roof was unusual in being carried by ten 35-ton triangular trusses supported on reinforced concrete columns. The garage assumed Hackney's operation of Red Arrow routes 502 and 513 using new Leyland Nationals, and replaced two garages in Hackney and Dalston that had opened in 1889 and 1906 respectively. When London Buses was split into eleven separate companies Ash Grove became part of the London Forest operation, but closed in 1991 when London Forest was wound up. 1990s The garage was re-opened in 1994 by Kentish Bus, who had gained a small number of routes in the Leyton area, including former Boro'line route 108. Kentish referred to the garage as Cambridge Heath. At various times, Ash Grove was used to store vehicles for the London Transport Museum. 2000s Ash Grove re-opened again in 2000 for use by the London Buses company East Thames Buses which took over the former Harris Bus routes after that company ran into financial difficulties. East Thames Buses later moved to new premises at Mandela Way. CT Plus used the garage yard to house its routes won in the London area. Arriva London used the depot as the base for their new Mercedes-Benz Citaro articulated buses for route 38 following the conversion from AEC Routemasters in November 2005. This has ended following the route's conversion back to double-deck operation, but routes 78 and 168 have been transferred to operate from the garage. Industrial relations The garage has suffered from a number of industrial relations difficulties in its history. In 1991, London Forest won a group of eleven tendered routes in the Walthamstow area on the basis of very low prices. This led to the company proposing a pay cut of around 18% to all staff, which saw staff at all of its four garages strike. Following these events the company was wound up and the garage closed. In June 2008, forty CT Plus employees based at the garage protested against the dismissal of a shop steward who had refused to drive a bus with a health and safety defect. October 2010 saw strike action by CT Plus workers in a dispute over pay, although most services were not disrupted significantly.

Die Insel ist zum großen Teil dicht mit Bäumen bewachsen. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln in der Themse Einzelnachweise
Ash Island

Ash Island is a forested, drop-shaped island in the River Thames in England, across the weir of Molesey Lock within Greater London on its border. In the same way as Hampton Court, Ash Island's post town is East Molesey (KT8) and the island is administratively within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The main weir is at the downstream end of the island connecting to the lock; the second weir is at the upstream end and connects to the Hampton Court bank. Consequently, there is a difference of several feet in the water level surrounding the island. The island is privately owned and has a boatyard on side towards the lock, and moorings on the lower side. Most of the island is densely covered in trees, its maximum length is 236m, maximum width 90m and it is 25m downstream of Tagg's Island.

Ash Manor School

Ash Manor School is a comprehensive, community secondary school located in Manor Road, Ash, Surrey, England. Opened as Yeoman's Bridge School in 1948. The school was formed after a merger between two schools in 1986: Yeomans Bridge and Robert Haining. There are approximately 1102 students. Standards During the last full inspection carried out by Ofsted at the school in December 2012, the inspectors judged the school to be Good. This grade was upheld in an Ofsted short inspection in March 2017. House system Ash Manor is divided into five Houses. Each are known for their strong individual characteristics and competitiveness in sport. While the House colours have remained unchanged, the names of Houses—Phoenix, Sparta, Galileo, and Venture—were originally named after the surnames of famous people from British History, they were: Brunel, Faraday, Wells and Newton. The current names were picked via democratic vote by the students within each house and are: Phoenix Sparta Galileo Venture Hypatia Previously, Year 7 had their own house, called Darwin, but this has since been merged back into the other houses. The house colour was gold and pupils were given matching gold house ties.

Asham Wood

Asham Wood (grid reference ST705460) is a 140.6-hectare (347-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Downhead and south of Leigh-on-Mendip in the Mendip Hills, Somerset, notified in 1963. Asham Wood is the largest and most diverse of the ancient semi-natural woodlands in the Mendips. It has a permanent stream that runs through it feeding Chantry Pond to the east of the wood. It has been the subject of controversy and attempts to protect the environment from increased quarrying activity in the area. The woodland occupies 2 deep valleys and the intervening plateau. Most of the underlying rocks are calcareous Carboniferous Limestone and Shales, but Devonian Portishead Beds outcrop along the northern valley. There are a range of unusual flora and fauna. At Asham Wood near Frome coppicing and 50 dormouse boxes have been introduced in order to encourage nesting. The boxes are monitored and dormice numbers are recorded. References
Ashburnham House

Ashburnham House est un manoir du XVIIe siècle situé à Westminster. Ce bâtiment est rattaché depuis 1882 à l'école de Westminster School. Histoire Le manoir succède à un ancien prieuré de l'abbaye de Westminster remontant à l'époque médiévale. Il devient au XVIIe siècle le pied-à-terre londonien de la famille Ashburnham, dont le chef est titré « baron Ashburnham » en 1689, puis « comte d'Ashburnham (en) » en 1730. Sa construction a longtemps été attribuée à Inigo Jones ou à son élève John Webb, mais il semble que ce soit plutôt l'architecte William Samwell qui en soit responsable. Le comte John Ashburnham revend le manoir à la Couronne en 1730. L'année suivante, le 23 octobre, Ashburnham House est victime d'un incendie qui ravage la bibliothèque Cotton, une collection de manuscrits médiévaux et autres livres rares entreposée là. Un récit contemporain de l'incendie décrit le conservateur Richard Bentley se jetant par une fenêtre avec le précieux Codex Alexandrinus sous le bras. Racheté par le doyenné de Westminster en 1739, le manoir devient la résidence réservée au sous-doyen. Il est rattaché à l'école de Westminster School en 1882. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la bibliothèque du manoir sert de centre de communications pour la Royal Air Force et de salle de conférences secrète. Le rez-de-chaussée dissimule ces activités en hébergeant le « Churchill Club », un club réservé aux hauts officiers américains.

Ashburton Park

Ashburton Park is a park located in Woodside, in the London Borough of Croydon, and takes its name from nearby Ashburton. The park is located close to Woodside tram stop, where Tramlink services the park. It is on the junction of Lower Addiscombe Road and Spring Lane. The park covers an area of 18.5 acres (7.5 ha) and includes a village green, pétanque terrain, bowling green, tennis and basketball courts and a café. History The site was once the location of Woodside Convent, and the property has changed hands many times since then. A mansion was built on the site in 1788. Croydon Corporation bought the house and grounds by Compulsory Purchase Order in 1924. Most of the buildings were torn down, with a putting green (no longer there) being laid on the site. The only remaining part of the house was the c. 1878 extension which became Ashburton Library. The library was relocated in 2006–2007 to the nearby Ashburton School and the building fell into disrepair. Despite the neglect of the café and former library building the local council have spent some money on renovating the public toilets, improving the children's playing park and adding some features for joggers and fun runners on the perimeter paths. The Friends of Ashburton Park group, launched in September 2013, have come together to put the former library back into community use. In December 2017, the park was due to host the Croydon Winter Festival, with seasonal events including ice-skating.

Ashby's Mill

Ashby's Mill, often referred to as Brixton Windmill, is a restored grade II* listed tower mill at Brixton in the London Borough of Lambeth. The mill was in Surrey when built and has been preserved. History Ashby's Mill was built in 1816 and worked by wind until 1862, when the business was transferred to a watermill at Mitcham on the River Wandle. The sails were removed in 1862 and two years later the windmill was relegated to use as a store. In 1902, the lease on the watermill expired and a steam engine was installed in the windmill. This was later replaced by a gas engine. The windmill was worked by engine until 1934, and supplied wholemeal flour to West End hotels and restaurants. After the war, there were proposals to demolish the mill and build a block of flats. The proposal was rejected and it was decided to conserve the mill, which was restored in 1964 by London County Council. New sails were fitted, and machinery from a derelict windmill at Burgh le Marsh, Lincolnshire installed to replace that which had been removed. The work was done by Thompson's, the Alford millwrights. Following restoration, the mill was opened to the public at Easter 1968. The mill passed to Lambeth Council in 1971 and remains in their ownership. Further restoration was carried out in 1978 and 1983, but the windmill had been placed on the Buildings at Risk Register in 1995. The Friends of Windmill Gardens had been formed in April 2003 with the aim of restoring the windmill and surrounding area as a public amenity. In September 2004, an archaeological dig was organised, with assistance from the Museum of London Archaeology Service. A £25,000 grant was given by Lambeth Borough Council towards repairs to the mill and gardens. A £2,000,000 restoration plan has been put together with assistance from the Horniman Museum and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. An application for a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund was submitted. The Heritage Lottery Fund granted £397,700 towards the restoration. Lambeth Council and the Friends of Windmill Gardens also contributed towards the restoration of the mill, which cost £581,000. The restored mill was officially opened to the public on 2 May 2011 by Chuka Umunna, MP for Streatham. Description Ashby's Mill is a four-storey brick tower mill with a boat shaped cap. It had two Patent sails and two Common sails. The cap was winded by a hand wheel, no fantail being fitted. The cast iron windshaft is the only remaining original piece of machinery. The mill is 22 feet (6.71 m) diameter at the base and 39 feet 6 inches (12.04 m) to the curb, and 49 feet (14.94 m) high overall.

Molino de viento de Brixton

El molino de viento de Brixton (en inglés, Brixton Windmill; también llamado Ashby's Mill) es un molino de viento en el municipio londinense de Lambeth.​​ Es un edificio protegido con grado II*.​ Estaba en Surrey cuando se construyó y ha sido conservado. Historia Este molino se construyó en 1816 y funcionó como molino hasta el año 1862, cuando el negocio se transfirió a molino de agua en Mitcham​ en el río Wandle. Las aspas del molino fueron eliminadas en 1864 y el molino fue relegado a almacén. En 1902, expiró el alquiler del molino de agua y se instaló un motor a vapor.​ Este más tarde fue reemplazado por un motor de gas. Trabajó con este motor hasta 1934, y proporcionó harina a hoteles y restaurantes del West End. Tras la guerra hubo propuestas de demoler el molino y construir un bloque de pisos. La propuesta fue rechazada y se decidió conservar el molino, que fue restaurado en 1964 por el Consejo del condado de Londres. Se le pusieron nuevas aspas, y se le instaló maquinaria procedente de un molino en Burgh le Marsh, Lincolnshire, que reemplazó a la que se había quitado. Hubo nuevas restauraciones en 1978 y 1983, pero el molino había sido ya colocado entre los edificios en peligro en 1995.​ En septiembre de 2004, se organizó una excavación arqueológica, con la ayuda del Servicio de Arqueología del Museo de Londres.​ Tras una nueva restauración el molino se reabrió al público el 2 de mayo de 2011 por Chuka Umunna, MP por la circunscripción de Streatham.​ Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Molino de viento de Brixton.

Ashby de la Zouch Castle

Ashby de la Zouch Castle er en middelalderborg i byen Ashby-de-la-Zouch i Leicestershire i England. Den blev bygget af William, Lord Hastings, der var en af Edvard 4.s favoritter efter 1473. Til borgen hører omkring 1.200 ha dyrepark. Den blev bygget oven på en tidligere herregård, og man byggede to store tårne og forskellige mindre bygninger i 1483, da Hastings blev henrettet af Richard 2., hertug af Gloucester. Hastings familien brugte borgen som hovedsæde i flere generationer. De forbedrede parken og havde flere royale besøg. Under den engelske borgerkrig i 1640'erne blev Henry, den yngre søn i Hastings-familien, kavalerernes kommandør i the Midlands. Han brugte borgen til efter en belejring. Et nyt oprør opstod i 1648. Det ledte til at parlamentet ødelagde borgen, for at sikre, at den ikke blev brugt igen. De to tårne blev sprængt med krudt og underminering. Dele af resten blev brugt til et nyt hus for Hastings-familiens medlemmer i mange år, selv om den flyttede til Donington Hall. Borgen blev berømt efter Walter Scotts roman Ivanhoe i 1819, og ejeren, Francis Rawdon, åbnede ruinen for besøgende. I det næste århundrede blev der foretaget en del restaureringer på ruinen, men i 1932 kunne Rawdon-familien ikke længere drive borgen. Den overgik til Ministry of Works, som udførte store reparationer og åbnede parken. I 2000-tallet bliver borgen drevet af English Heritage som turistattraktion. I 2015 havde stedet 15.164 besøgende. Historikeren John Goodall ser stedet som et "fremragende eksempel på en senmiddelalderborg" og ser, at parken er "et af de bedst-bevarede og vigtigste" eksempler på tidlig tudor havearkitektur.
