Church of the Immaculate Conception, Spinkhill

Immaculate Conception Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Spinkhill, Derbyshire, England. It was built in 1846 and designed by Joseph Hansom. It is situated on Spinkhill Lane opposite Immaculate Conception Catholic Primary School south of Mount St Mary's College in the village. It was founded by the Jesuits and is a Grade II listed building. History Foundation In the 1600s and 1700s, in Reformation England, the Society of Jesus attempted to found Catholic colleges and missions in and around Spinkhill. In 1633, a college and mission were founded in Spinkhill. In 1635, a school in Stanley, Derbyshire, was disbanded. In 1711, there was a recorded instance of a chapel and priest house being located in Spinkhill Hall. In 1791 and the 1830s, the chapel was rebuilt. From 1841 to 1842, Mount St Mary's College was built and the college's sodality chapel incorporated some of the fabric and material of the old chapel. Construction In 1844, construction work began on the church. It was designed by Joseph Hansom and cost £6,000. In 1846, it was finished. In September 1846, the church was consecrated. In 1864, the church was extended, this was also carried out by Hansom. A larger sacristy was built behind the north chapel. The old sacristy was replaced by the Middleton Chapel and which later became the Lady Chapel. Alterations and reordering In 1904, numerous changes were made to the church. The rood screen was moved and replaced by altar rails made of alabaster. A new reredos was installed and the clock in the tower was replaced. In 1947, a stained glass window, made by Hardman & Co. was installed in the south-east chapel. Between 1960 and 1966, the floor was replaced, the stained glass around the nave was removed and a meeting room was built on the north side of the church, and designed by the architectural firm, Reynolds & Scott. In 1989, further reordering was carried out. The high altar and reredos were moved to the north chapel. The north chapel then was renamed the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Stained glass was taken from it and moved to the south chapel. The baptismal font, was moved to the rear of the nave. The altar was replaced by a new stone one. The altar and new ambo were designed by the architectural firm John Rochford & Partners who oversaw the reordering. Parish The church has two Sunday Masses, they are at 6:30pm on Saturday evening and at 10:00am on Sunday.

Weston-super-Mare Grand Pier

Weston-super-Mare Grand Pier er et strandresort på pæle i Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset i England, omkring 28 km sydvest for Bristol. Resortet strækker sig ud i Bristol Channel og er et af de tre pælebårne resorts i området. Bristol Channel er kendt som et af de lokaliteter i verden, hvor tidevandsbevægelserne er størst, på grund af fjordens tragtformede struktur. Disse tidevandsbevægelser er en af baggrundene for den århundredår gamle tradition med at bygge på pæle. Opførelsen af resortet blev indledt i november 2003 og det blev åbnet i juni 2004. Resortet er opført på et fundament bestående af en metalstruktur af 4.000 tons jern og stål og det hele båret oppe af 600 stålpiller. Grand Piers hovedstruktur godt 300 meter uden for kysten udgøres af et teater på ca. 30x50 meter med plads til 2000 tilskuere, suppleret af butikker og forlystelser. Den store bygning med teater og butikker, m.m. er i to tilfælde blevet ødelagt af brand, første gang den 13. januar 1930 og senest den 28. juli 2008.

Grande jetée de Weston-super-Mare

La jetée de Weston-super-Mare (Grand Pier) est une jetée située à Weston-super-Mare, ville côtière du comté du Somerset, dans le sud-ouest de l'Angleterre, à environ 18 milles (28 km) au sud-ouest de Bristol. La jetée est située sur le canal de Bristol. La jetée appelée The Grand Pier (La Grande Jetée en français) est une des trois jetées que compte la ville de Weston-super-Mare, parmi la jetée de Birnbeck Pier, actuellement à l'abandon en attendant une possible restauration, et le SeaQuarium, abritant un aquarium marin. Les autorités de Weston-super-Mare voulant attirer plus de touristes, commandèrent la construction du Grand Pier en 1904. Il s'agit d'une des dernières jetées construites juste après le décès de la Reine Victoria. À l'origine la jetée accueillait un vaste théâtre, d'une capacité de 2 000 spectateurs, ainsi qu'un kiosque philharmonique. La jetée fut détruite par un incendie le 13 janvier 1930, provoquant de nombreuses explosions de bonbonnes d'oxygène, projetées vers la côte et empêchant les pompiers d'accéder au sinistre. La reconstruction eut lieu en plusieurs étapes. La jetée fut reconstruite avec deux nouveaux pavillons et ouverts au public en 1932. Le Grand Pier fut une nouvelle fois victime d'un incendie le 28 juillet 2008. La colonne de fumée était visible à une distance de 16 km. Les flammes atteignaient 30 m de hauteur. Les pompiers eurent de grosses difficultés à combattre l'incendie, le feu s'étant déclaré à marée basse et la jetée se trouvant à une distance de 400 m de la côte. Le feu s'était déclaré dans la partie nord-ouest du pavillon.

Большой пирс (Уэстон-сьюпер-Мэр)

Большой пирс (англ. Weston-super-Mare Grand Pier) — это пирс в английском городе Уэстон-Сьюпер-Мэр. Он находится на Бристольском заливе в 29 километрах к юго-западу от Бристоля. В городе также есть ещё 2 пирса. Пирс дважды в истории серьёзно пострадал от пожара: 13 января 1930 и 28 июля 2008 года. История Строительство Строительство пирса началось в ноябре 1903 и закончилось в июне 1904. На пирсе находились театр (на 2000 мест), павильон, киоски и магазины. Пирс располагался в центре города рядом с железной дорогой. Через несколько лет была построена пристань. Напротив театра была построена эстрада для оркестра. Первый пожар 13 января 1930 года театр и значительная часть пирса сильно пострадали от пожара. Реконструкция После пожара доходы местных владельцев отелей и ресторатов заметно упали. Через три года пирс был восстановлен. В 2001 году пирс выиграл премию «Пирс года» Национальной ассоциации пирсов. Второй пожар 28 июля 2008 года пирс снова загорелся. До этого в городе стояла жаркая погода, накануне был установлен температурный рекорд года. Пожар уничтожил основные конструкции на пирсе примерно за час. Шесть пожарных расчетов пытались потушить огонь. Владелец пирса Кэрри Майкл пообещал, что пирс обязательно будет восстановлен . Причины пожара не установлены.

Hertford East railway station

Hertford East railway station is the northern terminus of the Hertford East branch line off the West Anglia Main Line in the east of England, and is located in the town of Hertford in Hertfordshire. It is 24 miles 19 chains (39.0 km) down the line from London Liverpool Street and is one of two stations in the town, the other being Hertford North on the Hertford Loop Line. Its three-letter station code is HFE. The station and all trains calling are operated by Greater Anglia. There are two platforms, although platform number one is generally only used during peak times, during times of disruption and primarily for trains to and from Stratford station. History The first station opened on 31 October 1843 sited to the east of the present station. The current station, designed by W. N. Ashbee, was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 27 February 1888, replacing the first station. The station was listed in 1974 as a Grade II listed building; in 1996 the buffer stop lights on platform 1 were separately listed in their own right. The Grade II listed signal box at the station was dismantled in October 2021 to allow for platform extensions. It will be relocated to the Wensleydale Railway. Services All services at Hertford East are operated by Greater Anglia using Class 720 EMUs. The typical off-peak service is two trains per hour to and from London Liverpool Street via Tottenham Hale, which start and terminate at Hertford East. Additional services, including trains to and from Stratford, run to and from the station during the peak hours. On Sundays, services run to and from Stratford instead of London Liverpool Street. Proposed developments Some options of the proposed East West Rail involved reopening a route between Hertford East railway station and Hertford North railway station; however a 2009 discussion paper noted that while "the new connection appears technically feasible, doubts must be cast over its public acceptability and deliverability". Since then, a northern route via Bedford and St Neots has been preferred, and flats built on the old route by Hertford Weir would make the cross-Hertford route impracticable. In popular culture Hertford East doubles as Yeovil Railway Station in the 1960 film School for Scoundrels, seen in the opening titles and closing credits. The station features in a number of different channel branding films (called 'Idents' in the television industry) for the ITV channels in the UK. Different, but similar idents have been created for each five of ITV's channels. References External links Train times and station information for Hertford East railway station from National Rail
Uffington Castle

Uffington Castle ist eine Wallburg in Oxfordshire. Sie umfasst etwa 3 ha Fläche. Der historische Eingang befindet sich an der Ostseite. Ein weiterer, später verschlossener Eingang lässt sich noch an der Westseite nachweisen. Von der Anlage aus kann man The Ridgeway überschauen. Etwa dreihundert Meter nordöstlich befindet sich das Uffington White Horse. Die Anlage wird der frühen Eisenzeit zugeordnet. Funde aus Ausgrabungen lassen auf eine Errichtung im Zeitraum von 800 bis 700 vor unserer Zeitrechnung schließen. In den 1960er Jahren fand man Knochen von 14 Menschen in Wayland's Smithy in der Nähe. Im Jahre 2007 wurde eine genauere Datierung möglich. Die Menschen wurden Opfer eines Massakers. Einige wurden durch Pfeile getötet. Den Leichen zweier Menschen rissen Tiere die Extremitäten aus. Auch blieben sie Aasfressern überlassen. Michael Wysocki (University of Central Lancashire), der mit Kollegen der Cardiff University und von English Heritage die Funde untersucht, datierte sie in die Zeit um 3600 vor unserer Zeitrechnung.

Uffington Castle

Uffington Castle is an early Iron Age (with underlying Bronze Age) univallate hillfort in Oxfordshire, England. It covers about 3.2 ha (7.9 acres) and is surrounded by two earth banks separated by a ditch with an entrance in the western end. A second entrance in the eastern end was apparently blocked up a few centuries after it was built. The original defensive ditch was V-shaped with a small box rampart in front and a larger one behind it. Timber posts stood on the ramparts. Later the ditch was deepened and the extra material dumped on top of the ramparts to increase their size. A parapet wall of sarsen stones lined the top of the innermost rampart. It is very close to the Uffington White Horse on White Horse Hill. Excavations Excavations have indicated that it was probably built in the 8th or 7th century BCE and continued to be occupied throughout the Iron Age. Isolated postholes were found inside the fort but no evidence of buildings. Pottery, loom weights and animal bone finds suggest some form of occupation however. The most activity appears to have been during the Roman period as the artefacts recovered from the upper fills of the ditch attest. The ramparts were remodelled to provide more entrances, and a shrine seems to have been built in the early 4th century CE. Two oblong mounds, one containing 46 Romano-British burials and one containing eight Saxon burials, lie nearby. The Ridgeway An ancient track passes by the northern entrance to the hillfort; it is known as The Ridgeway. It links to the Icknield Way at the Goring Gap, and passes close to Avebury before heading south across Salisbury Plain. It also passes very close to a Neolithic chambered long barrow, Waylands Smithy, about a mile to the west. Protection The hillfort is a Scheduled Monument, and was included in the Ancient Monuments Protection Act 1882 as one of the first 68 sites in Britain and Ireland to receive legal protection. Along with the Uffington White Horse on the slopes below the ramparts, it is in the care of English Heritage.
