All Saints Church, Curland

All Saints Church is a former Church of England parish church in Curland, Somerset, England. Designed by Benjamin Ferrey, it was built in 1855–56 to replace an earlier church on the same site and became redundant in 1972. The church, now a private residence, has been a Grade II listed building since 1955. In the churchyard, an early 18th century chest tomb of the Slade family also became Grade II listed in 1986. History All Saints was built in 1855–56 to replace Curland's parish church, which had become dilapidated. Plans for the new church were drawn up by Benjamin Ferrey and its construction largely paid for by Rev. Prebendary Lance, the rector of Buckland St Mary, alongside public subscription. The committee of the diocese's Church Building Association also granted £60 towards the estimated £420 cost of the church in 1855. The foundation stone was laid on 28 August 1855 by Rev. Charles Leigh Pemberton, the rector of Curry Mallet and Curland. The church was rebuilt from the foundations, with Mr. H. Davis of Taunton as the contractor and Mr. J. Billing of Buckland St Mary as the supervisor. Stonework from the Curland's previous church was reused and additional stone salvaged from the chancel of the church at Buckland St Mary, which at the time was also undergoing reconstruction according to designs by Ferrey. All Saints reopened on 28 October 1856. As the new church was constructed according to the exact shape of its predecessor, reconsecration was not necessary. It remained a place of worship until it was declared redundant on 27 October 1972. The church was used for storage from 1974 and later converted to residential use in 1991. Architecture All Saints is built of flint with dressings of Hamstone and a clay tile roof, in the Perpendicular style. The west three-light window and four of the five side two-light windows were sourced from the chancel of Buckland St Mary's church. The east three-light window was new and fitted with glass by James Powell and Sons of Whitefriars. The church was designed to accommodate 70 persons and made up of three-bay nave, chancel and south porch. A small bell-turret for two bells was added to the west gable. The low pitched roof was built of stained deal and the altar laid with encaustic tiles. The pulpit and reading desk were made of stained oak. The glazing work was carried out by Mr. Gould of Chard, the painting and diaper work of the reredos by Mr. A. Stansell of Taunton and the tablets containing the commandments (gifted by Mr. J. Stephens of Musgrove) was engraved by Mr. T. D. Ward of Taunton. References
Adam Viaduct

Der Adam Viaduct ist eine Eisenbahnbrücke, der die Kirkby branch line in Wigan, Greater Manchester über den River Douglas und die Southgate Road führt. Die 1946 gebaute Brücke gilt als die erste Spannbetonbrücke im Vereinigten Königreich. Die London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) und ihr chief civil engineer William Kelly Wallace bauten die Brücke als Versuchsobjekt, um zu prüfen, ob die noch nicht erprobte Bauweise sich für Eisenbahnbrücken im Vereinigten Königreich eigne. Die LMS hatte schon in den späten 1930er Jahren Spannbetonbalken nach dem System von Eugène Freyssinet entwickelt und sie im Zweiten Weltkrieg für Notreparaturen eingesetzt, aber das Adam Viaduct war die erste Gelegenheit, ihre Verwendung im Rahmen einer vollständigen Brücke zu testen. Die zweigleisige Brücke hat vier ca. 9,0 m weite Öffnungen. Ihr Überbau besteht aus sechs vorgefertigten Doppel-T-Spannbetonträgern unter jedem Gleis und je einem Träger an den Außenseiten, die jeweils 0,81 m hoch, dicht aneinander gebaut und zusätzlich quer verspannt sind. Insgesamt wurden somit 16 Träger nebeneinander verlegt, auf denen der übliche Schotter für das Gleisbett liegt. Die LMS äußerte sich zufrieden über die Kürze der Bauzeit und die Laufruhe der Wagen auf den hohen Balken. Die Brücke ist nach wie vor in Betrieb. Sie wurde 2001 als Grade II Building unter Denkmalschutz gestellt. Zwischen 2012 und 2013 wurde die Straße unter der Brücke erweitert. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Adam Viaduct

The Adam Viaduct is a grade II listed concrete underbridge in Wallgate, Wigan. The bridge, constructed in 1946, is the earliest 'post-tensioned' prestressed concrete railway bridge in the United Kingdom, with only some examples in Switzerland being earlier. It is bridge number 54 on the Kirkby branch line and is at a line distance of 18 miles 1,032 yards (29.91 km). History and construction The bridge was constructed as a test case, to see if prestressed concrete construction was feasible for rail projects in the UK, by the LMS railway company, and designed by their chief civil engineer William Kelly Wallace. The beams used were prestressed using the Freyssinet system, in which concrete is precast with stressed high-tensile-strength metal tendons, which consist of multiple steel wires, running down the length of them. In construction, the beams internal rods are tightened and tied together so, under live load, they act as one. The LMS developed this system in the 1930s, and prestressed beams were first used for emergency repairs during World War II, but the Adam Viaduct first to use them for a full-scale project. The benefits of the system were found to be that it was quicker to install, more economical and longer-lasting, and with the bridge being less lively than traditional designs. The bridge has six I-beams for each track and two beams for each parapet, and they are 2 feet 8 inches (0.81 m) deep. It was erected in 1946 on the foundations of an earlier Victorian bridge, created as part of the Liverpool & Bury Railway in 1847, which was made from timber with masonry abutments. The earlier bridge was strengthened three times in: 1869, 1888 and 1906. Southgate Southgate, a bypass of the A49 from Pottery Road and Saddle Junction, passes underneath the bridge and next to the River Douglas. The road, which officially opened in March 2013, was constructed to reduce traffic in the area.

38 Flowergate

38 Flowergate is a historic building in Whitby, a town in North Yorkshire, England. A building was constructed on the site in the 16th century, which is believed to have served as a courthouse, house of correction, and gaoler's house. In 1640, a new courthouse and jail was erected where the Old Town Hall now stands, and in 1654 the building on Flowergate was subdivided and let out. The building was reconstructed in the late 17th century, and extended early in the next century. During the 19th century, it served for a while as a police station, then later housed a firm of solicitors. It was remodelled in the late 19th century, the work including a new front to Flowergate. The building was Grade II listed in 2002. The house is built of rendered stone with pantile roofs. It has two storeys an attic and a basement, a single-storey rear wing with an attic, and a front of three bays. To the right of the ground floor is a segmental-headed doorway with a fanlight and a keystone, and on the left are three sash windows with moulded stucco surrounds and a continuous sill. Above the ground floor is a moulded cornice, and three similar sash windows with a sill band, and between them is a projecting clock. The attic has an outer gable with triangular panels, and in the centre is a taller shaped gable containing three round-arched windows. At the rear are two blocked mullioned and transomed windows. Inside, three ground floor rooms have essentially complete 18th-century panelling. There is an early 18th-century staircase, and the front first floor room also has panelling.

Old King's Head, Kirton

The Old King's Head, Kirton in Holland, near Boston in Lincolnshire, England is a former public house. The earlier part of it was built at the end of the 16th century and was given major alterations in 1661 in Artisan Mannerist Style. It is red brick in English Bond with recent tiles over a thatched roof. It became a domestic residence in the 1960s and in 2016 it was purchased by Heritage Lincolnshire for restoration. It opened as a cafe and bed & breakfast on 1 October 2021. Architecture The term 'Artisan Mannerist Architecture' was first used by Sir John Summerson in 1953 to describe the building style that developed after the Renaissance in Britain when artisan craftsmen such as masons and bricklayers took on the role of architects. The style was largely derived from Dutch architecture. Sir John's study was largely restricted to larger stone buildings, but John Harris who worked with Sir Nicholas Pevsner on the Lincolnshire volume of Buildings of England adopted the terminology Fen Artisan Style and described the Old Kings Head as an example of Fenland Artisan Mannerism. Harris went on to describe other examples of similar buildings. These include the nearby Blossom's Hall also in Kirton, the Elizabethan House and The Hall at Coningsby, the Porch House Sibsey the Church House at Boston and the Bulls Neck and adjacent farm near Holbeach. The style is probably best exemplified by the manor house at Aslackby, near Bourne. Here the house has raised brickwork decoration and elaborate string courses, while the square chimney stacks are angled in a line in a similar fashion to those on the Old Kings Head. The style contrasts with the Artisan brick mannerism of North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire which has been studied by Neave and is often associated with the work of Hull architect William Catlyn. Neave derives this architectural style from the brick architecture of the Netherlands. This origin is also likely to be true for Fenland Artisan Mannerism where houses often also have Dutch gables Gallery Literature Antram N (revised), Pevsner N & Harris J, (1989), The Buildings of England: Lincolnshire, Yale University Press. pp. 979 Barley M (1990) The Buildings of the Countryside 1500–1750, Vol 5, of Chapters from the Agrarian History of England and Wales (ed.

Wiktoriańskie łaźnie w Bishopsgate

Wiktoriańskie łaźnie w Bishopsgate (ang. Victorian Bath House) – budynek wiktoriańskich łaźni zlokalizowany w Londynie, w Bishopsgate, części City of London, w pobliżu Old Broad Street, dworca kolejowego Liverpool Street i kościoła St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate. Historia Kąpiele w tym miejscu były znane od 1817. W roku 1860 przestrzeń została przejęta i zagospodarowana przez Łaźnie Argyll. Niedługo przed 1883 teren przeszedł na własność przedsiębiorstwa Jones & Co. W latach 1886–1889 sprzedało ono swoje akcje Henry'emu i Jamesowi Forderowi Nevillom. Nevillowie posiadali wtedy więcej zakładów kąpielowych w Londynie niż jakiekolwiek inne przedsiębiorstwo tej branży, a ten zakup był ich piątym. Między 1893 a 1895 Nevillowie wyburzyli starsze łaźnie, aby zbudować nowe obiekty, stylowo dorównujące łaźniom przy Northumberland Avenue, które wznieśli w 1884. Budynki przy Bishopsgate zaprojektował na wzór łaźni tureckich architekt G. Harold Elphick w wyszukanym stylu mauretańskim, z wykorzystaniem kafli z zakładów Cravena oraz Dunhilla. Lokalizacja łaźni była przemyślana – znajdują się one w pobliżu dworca kolejowego Liverpool Street, giełdy i siedziby rejestru statków Lloyds'a. Zakład ten był wyraźnie przeznaczony dla klasy wyższej. Obiekt przetrwał niemieckie bombardowania Londynu w czasie II wojny światowej, jak również zamachy IRA i do lat 50. XX wieku służył swojej pierwotnej funkcji. Łaźnie zostały odnowione w 2015 przez przedsiębiorstwo Camm and Hooper, nadzorowane przez Russell Sage Studios i pełnią funkcję luksusowego lokalu rozrywkowego na 150 osób. Przypisy

Queen's Head, Brixton

The Queen's Head was a pub at 144 Stockwell Road, Brixton, London SW9. It is a Grade II listed building, "of Regency appearance with alterations". History The pub was originally named The New Queen's Head, and A History of Brixton asserts that it is in its original building from 1786. Brixton Heritage Trails states its construction replaced an older pub with a similar name. The "New" in the name was presumably to differentiate itself from The Old Queen's Head that was also in the same area, then known as Stockwell Green. In 1894 an accepted tender for "additions and alterations" was reported in the construction trade periodical The Builder. In the 1990s it was run under the name The Far Side, but by 2001 it was called The Z-Bud. For some time in the 2010s and early 2020s it was a music venue, and is known as where Fat White Family rehearsed, performed, and put on their own night, Slide-In. The band Shame also started to rehearse there shortly after. In November 2014 photos emerged of the then landlord dressed in blackface at a party there, with another guest wearing a Ku Klux Klan costume and performing a Nazi salute, causing public outrage that was reported in the national press. In September 2015 that landlord gave up the lease and it closed. Soon after it reopened under different management as a gastropub focusing on local ales and food, though still with live music and club nights. As of January 2024 it closed its doors to the public and is currently boarded up. References External links Media related to Queen's Head, Brixton at Wikimedia Commons

Cambridge Cottage

Cambridge Cottage is a former royal residence in Kew in London. It is located on the west side of Kew Green, very close to St Anne's Church; the rear of the house is in Kew Gardens, where it is known as the Duke's Garden. Historically it is associated with Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge and his son Prince George, Duke of Cambridge, from whom it takes its name. The connection of the House of Hanover with the area dates back to the acquisition of Richmond Lodge by the future George II from the attainted Jacobite Duke of Ormonde in the 1710s. His grandson George III occupied Kew Palace as his summer residence and his children partly grew up in the area. In 1806 he granted Cambridge Cottage to his seventh and youngest surviving son Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge while his brother Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland took over King's Cottage next door. Adolphus spent a number of years away from England as Viceroy in Hanover following its 1813 liberation from French occupation. He lived at Cambridge Cottage with his wife Princess Augusta, who continued to live there for many years after her husband's death in 1850. It later passed to their son George, Duke of Cambridge, a first cousin of Queen Victoria and long-standing Commander in Chief of the British Army. On his death in 1904 it was given to Kew Gardens by his cousin Edward VII. Subsequently it was used as a museum of forestry. Despite the building's name it is a not a cottage but a mansion. The building dates back to the early nineteenth century and features a portico entrance facing onto Kew Green. It has been a Grade II listed building since 1950.
