Kensington Leisure Centre

Kensington Leisure Centre is a leisure centre located in the North Kensington area of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in London, England. It occupies land formerly considered to be part of the Lancaster West Estate, and was built with the Kensington Aldridge Academy. Both were officially opened by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge in January 2015. History The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea had a shortage of school places and it was tentatively suggested during the "Towards Preferred Options Core Strategy and the North Kensington Plan" consultations in July 2008, that the "Kensington Sports Centre Key Site" was a possible site. The Kensington Sports Centre already existed but was in need of refurbishment, and it was thought that the two could share the same site. On 17 November 2008 the ‘Family and Children's Services Oversight and Scrutiny Committee Working Group On Secondary Provision In North Kensington’ recommended the Lancaster West site for a proposed new academy. Consultants,'Urban Initiatives'were appointed in January 2009 to carry out a masterplanning study of the Notting Barns South area, with a view to large scale regeneration of the council-owned estates. The report, known as the Latimer Plan, or the Notting Barns South Masterplan made wide recommendations for relocating facilities, demolishing building such as the Grenfell Tower, and the Baranden Walk finger block and Verity Close and the building afresh. It was not adopted, though the principle of the combined leisure centre and school was established. There was an imperative to start construction within five years while the "Building Schools for the Future" funding was available. In reconfiguring the site, two areas of public open space were subsumed ignoring the requirements of the government planning document PPG 17, and causing local resentment. The project was managed by Studio E architects and the building designed by LA architects. The former sports centre was closed in 2012 and demolished. It was replaced by a £29 million new build. Facilities The centre is run by Better Leisure. It offers its members a 120 station gym, group fitness classes, a wet side with a 25m main pool with 250 seat spectator gallery, 20m teaching pool, leisure pool, swimming lessons. It has an eight-court multi-use sports hall, three studios, including a dedicated group cycle studio. It has catering in the form of a cafe. The Spa Experience includes a sauna and steam rooms. The centre's squash courts were reopened in January 2020 after maintenance issues. References

Christ Church, Hackenthorpe

Christ Church is a church situated in Hackenthorpe, a suburb of the City of Sheffield. It is located on Sheffield road, and was built in 1899. The church was largely funded by local land owner James Houndsfield and The Earl Manvers along with many smaller donations. History and architecture Before 1900, the residents of Hackenthorpe attended the parish church in Beighton, Church of St Mary the Virgin. Methodists in the village also had a purpose built chapel which stood on Main Street for a number of years, however this was soon demolished. There was also a purpose built mission room which stood on Church Lane. This building was later turned into a co-operative grocery store and finally a button factory ran by Charles Singleton Ltd. In 1899 the village got its own church. The Earl Manvers donated £500 and promised the acre of land which the church now stands on Sheffield Road. James Hounsfield, local resident at Hackenthorpe Hall also gave £250. In total £1,320 was raised and the church was constructed. It is recorded that the foundation stone was laid on 4 June 1898 by Viscount Newark, the Earl Manvers eldest son. Beneath the foundation stone was laid a coffin which contained a newspaper of the day, parchment bearing the names of the church committee and a coin of the realm. A chapel arch was originally planned, however this needed to be rebuilt and strengthened and due to lack of funds, this was never replaced. This shortage of money was in spite of £250 promised from James Houndsfield if the chapel was built in his lifetime and also a further £25 offer from John Jubb from Drakehouse under the same conditions. Before the arch the total cost of the church stood at £2,550 and a century later, the arch is still bricked up. The dedication, Christ Church took place on 11 November 1899. Hackenthorpe War Memorial A memorial stands outside the church featuring the names of Hackenthorpe residents that lost their lives in World War I and World War II. The memorial is Grade-II listed. The Memorial reads: 1914 The Great War 1919 *Reginald Tagg 1916 *Clifford Renshaw 1916 *Benjamin Crookes 1917 *Harry B.

CCE Wakefield

CCE Wakefield is a large soft drinks factory in West Yorkshire owned by Coca-Cola Enterprises UK; it is the largest soft-drinks factory in Europe (by volume of drinks produced). History Construction In March 1988 Schweppes and Coca-Cola announced that they would jointly build the largest soft drinks factory in Europe, to cost £55m. It would be built by 1991, with 470 employees. The joint venture of Schweppes and Coca Cola had UK sales of £450m. Hoval boilers were installed, three of 4000kW, made in Newark-on-Trent. There was a £300000 order for 26 stainless steel vessels for Wincanton Engineering of Sherborne. Most of the plant was designed in Uxbridge. Nacanco operated the canning plant. It was built in 1989 at the Wakefield 41 Business Park in Outwood. Opening In April 1988 a single-union agreement was signed with the Amalgamated Engineering Union. In August 1988 the Transport and General Workers' Union threatened action at Coca Cola's 26 plants in the UK, if the agreement went ahead. 900 TGWU workers at Coca Cola plants started a work to rule, and an overtime ban in August 1988. It was officially opened on 2 October 1989. In 1989 it could produce 4,000 cans per minute; by late 1990 it was making 6,000 cans per minute. The Lingwall Gate Action Group claimed that the canning facility made air pollution. 220,000 trees were planted. From the five years after 2009, Coca-Cola invested over £100m in the plant, and £240m had been invested at the site before 2009. The main office of CCEP is in Milton Keynes. Coca-Cola has six factories in the UK. Visits Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester visited at 10.30am on 22 October 1990 The site was visited by David Cameron, when Prime Minister, in 2010 and June 2014. Production The site produces 6,000 cans of soft drinks per minute, which is 100 per second, and up to 2,200 PET bottles a minute (HDPE bottle caps); this works out to up to one billion litres of soft drink a year. The factory can produce 40,000 PET bottles (empty) an hour. Next door is a factory of (former) Rexam, that produces the metal cans. The plant sources its water from the nearby Ardsley Reservoir which is 1.2 miles (2 km) to the west. Production in the UK It produces a third of the UK's requirement. Coca-Cola had wanted to build a similar plant for south of England. Swindon rejected their plans on 27 February 1990. In October 1990 Coca-Cola decided to open a 54-acre site in Northampton, but never did. Coca-Cola had a four acre distribution centre at Winwick Quay near Warrington; this was sold in 1993 and moved distribution to Wakefield. Incidents Contract worker 42 year old David Douglas fell 30 ft through a roof and died in Pinderfields Hospital on 21 September 1995. Structure It is situated on the north of the Wakefield 41 industrial estate, next to the M1 motorway, about 0.62 miles (1 km) from junction 41. The site has an area the size of 16 football pitches, but when aggregated with the company's own solar farm (1.5 miles (2.4 km) further north), the footprint covers 33 football pitches.

Thirsk Road drill hall, Northallerton

The Thirsk Road drill hall is a former Army Reserve installation in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, England. History The building was designed as the headquarters of the 4th Battalion the Green Howards and was completed in 1911. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front. In 1938 the battalion headquarters moved to Lytton Street in Middlesbrough, but shortly after the end of the Second World War, elements of B Company, 4th Battalion The Green Howards returned to the Thirsk Road drill hall. After the 4th battalion amalgamated with the 5th Battalion to form the 4th/5th Battalion, The Green Howards in 1961, the presence at the drill hall was disbanded. However, in 1993 a platoon sized detachment from C Company of that regiment was reformed at the drill hall. Following the amalgamations that led to the formation of the Yorkshire Regiment in 2006, it was a detachment from B Company of the 4th Battalion of the new regiment that maintained the presence. Although it is no longer an Army Reserve Centre, the drill hall continues to be used by 2337 (Northallerton) Squadron of the Air Training Corps and by the Army Cadet Force. References
Church of St Pancras, West Bagborough

The Anglican Church of St Pancras in West Bagborough, Somerset, England was built in the 15th century. It is a Grade II* listed building. History The church was built in the 15th century with additions 1643 and a Victorian restoration in 1872. The north aisle was added in 1839. The organ and communion rails were brought from a church at Brompton Ralph in 1910. Further restoration was undertaken in 1923 by Ninian Comper. The church is away from the main village, close to Bagborough House. The location of the church away from the village is believed to be a result of an outbreak of Black Death, when may of the villagers died. They then abandoned the area around the church and rebuilt houses further down the hill. The lychgate is dedicated to the memory of Robert Brooke-Popham. The parish is part of the benefice of Bishop's Lydeard with Lydeard Saint Lawrence, Combe Florey and Cothelstone within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. Architecture The red sandstone building has a tiled roof. It consists of a chancel, a nave and aisle each with three bays with wagon roofs. The south porch was added in 1643. The three-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. The tower has six bells. Inside the church is a tablet with the names of the men from the village who died in World War I.

Grange Road West drill hall

The Grange Road West drill hall is a former military installation, and now a sports centre, in Birkenhead, Merseyside. History The building was designed as the headquarters of the 1st Volunteer Battalion, the Cheshire Regiment who relocated from the Park Road South drill hall in around 1900. This unit evolved to become the 4th Battalion, The Cheshire Regiment in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli and ultimately the Western Front. The battalion amalgamated with the 5th Battalion to form the 4th/5th (Earl of Chester's) Battalion in 1921. The 4th/5th (Earl of Chester's) Battalion evolved to become the 4th Battalion in 1939, just before the Second World War, and, although it continued to be based at Grange Road West, it was disbanded in 1967. The drill hall, being surplus to requirements, was sold, in 1969, to Birkenhead County Borough Council who converted it into a sports centre. It is now the home of Birkenhead Trampoline Club and Wirral Gymnastics Club. References
Pipers Vale

Pipers Vale is a 19.7 hectare Local Nature Reserve on the southern outskirts of Ipswich in Suffolk. It is owned and managed by Ipswich Borough Council. This site on the bank of the River Orwell is part of Orwell Country Park. Its diverse habitats include heath, reedbeds, scrub and alder carr. Over 100 bird species have been recorded here, including redwings, whimbrels and bullfinches. There is access from Gainsborough Lane. Pipers Vale Pool Pipers Vale Pool (52.0309°N 1.1706°E﻿ / 52.0309; 1.1706) was an outdoor swimming venue opened on 12 June 1937 and replaced the West End Bathing Place, which had closed in 1936 due to fears that it was polluting the River Orwell. The pool was designed by County-Borough's Engineer Edward McLauchlan and constructed at a cost of £8000. The pool consisted of a main pool and a smaller paddling pool. The main pool was 40 yards (45.72m) long, 12.5 yards (11.43) wide and depths between 2 feet 6 inches (0.76m) to 9 feet (2.7m). The pool boasted a 1m spring board as well as a steel framed diving stage with 1m, 2m and 3m fixed diving boards. The paddling pool was 50 feet (15.24) long by 35 feet (10.66m) width. Access was via a long walk through Pipers Vale; locally known as The Lairs. The pool overlooked the River Orwell. The site was very close to where the east side of the Orwell Bridge, which spans the River Orwell, begins. The popularity of the pool prompted the construction of a further pool, Broomhill Swimming Pool, to serve the western side of the town. Like the boilers of Broomhill Pool, Pipers Vale's boilers were removed as part of the WWII war effort. The Piper's Vale Pool was demolished in 1979 as part of temporary road works through the area prior to the construction of the Orwell Bridge. Areas amenities included sun-bathing beaches. In the first season much of the beach shingle at Pipers Vale soon found its way into the bottom of the pool tank and was not replicated for the following seasons. Other areas included a spectators' shelters, administration offices, 94 dressing cubicles (47 for ladies and 47 for gentlemen) and covered area with provision for up to 100 bicycles, a superintendent's office, a basket room for max. 450 baskets, plus a small buffet serving visitors to the pool and park. A wringer (mangle) was provided in each section to remove surplus water from costumes and towels. The pool was in close reach of four new large housing estates (Racecourse Estate, Gainsborough Estate, Gloucester Estate and the Greenwich Estate), some 3000 houses and three recently constructed schools.

Thorneyburn railway station

Thorneyburn railway station served the village of Thorneyburn, Northumberland, England from 1861 to 1956 on the Border Counties Railway. History The station opened on 1 February 1861 by the North British Railway. The station was situated on a gated lane, at a former level crossing and west of Lanehead. The station was omitted from the timetable of 1 September 1864 but reappeared in the timetable of 1 October 1864 but with trains on Tuesdays only. A map from 1866 shows that the station had a siding and a goods dock but in the 1898 edition of the map, the siding was gone and the 1904 Railway Clearing House Handbook showed that the station never handled goods traffic. A full weekday service commenced from 27 September 1937. The station closed completely on 15 October 1956. By 1974 the platform had gone and the level crossing gates were replaced shortly after.

Royal Wharf

Royal Wharf is a residential and commercial development in the Silvertown area of East London, England. It is located on the north bank of the River Thames in the London Borough of Newham and was built on the former site of Minoco Wharf. It is near the Thames Barrier, west of Thames Barrier Park, and close to both West Silvertown and Pontoon Dock DLR stations. The development is a joint venture between Ballymore Group and Singapore-listed Oxley Holdings. It includes 3,385 residential units and 10,000 square metres of retail and commercial space. History The 15.2-hectare (38-acre) site was originally developed as an industrial works at the end of the nineteenth century and was also used for the manufacture of TNT during the First World War. Following this, the site was used by Shell UK for a period as an oil storage and refining site. This came to an end in the 1990s, when the site was left vacant. Silvertown explosion Royal Wharf sits on the site of the Silvertown explosion, a large explosion at a munitions factory on 19 January 1917 which killed 73 people and injured more than 400, and caused substantial damage to the local area. As part of the development, the Silvertown War Memorial was relocated to Royal Wharf Gardens, in the centre of the development. Development In 2012, following a comprehensive consultation process with Newham Council officers, the Thames Gateway Development Corporation and local community stakeholders (including local groups and individual residents), planning permission was granted to redevelop the site with a mixed-use scheme, delivering 3,385 new homes, a new primary school, leisure facilities and retail and commercial office space. As of 2021, the development is nearly completed, with two blocks remaining. The Uber Boat by Thames Clippers riverboat pier and Royal Wharf Primary School opened in 2020. The estimated number of occupants once the development is fully complete is around 10,000. Ballymore is also developing the adjacent riverfront site to the west, Riverscape, to provide 769 homes. Transport West Silvertown and Pontoon Dock are the nearest stations on the Docklands Light Railway. London bus route 241 serves the housing development. The site is served by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers catamaran services from a new pier designed by Nex Architects. The service started on 18 October 2019 and of February 2020 is only served during peak hours.
