Hardy Monument

The Hardy Monument (sometimes referred to as Hardy's Monument) is a 72-foot-high (22 m) monument on the summit of Black Down near Portesham in Dorset. It was erected in 1844 by public subscription in memory of Vice Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy, flag captain of Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar. It has been owned by National Trust since 1938, when it was bought for £15, and is regularly opened for visitors can climb the 120 steps to the viewpoint at the top. Admiral Hardy lived in Portesham and his family owned the Portesham estate which stretched from the middle of Portesham to Black Down. The site for the monument, a hill overlooking the English Channel, was chosen because the Hardy family wanted a monument which could be used as a landmark for shipping. The monument has been shown on navigational charts since 1846 and is visible from a distance of at least 9 miles (14 km). The monument was designed to look like a spyglass, as Admiral Hardy would have used on board ship. Its eight corners are aligned with the compass points. Viewed from the ground the corner to the right of the lightning conductor points due south. The bench mark on the northwest face denotes the altitude of Black Down at 780 feet (240 m). From the top of the monument at a height of 850 feet (260 m) above sea level it is possible on a clear day to see the coast from Start Point, Devon to St. Catherine's Point on the Isle of Wight, both of which are 56 miles (90 km) distant. To the north can be seen Pen Hill in the Mendip Hills which is 38 miles (61 km) away. The monument was designated as a grade II listed building in 1956. It has had several major renovations during its history. It was restored in 1900 by Hardy's descendants, and again by the National Trust in 2009-12. Adjacent to the monument is a stone seat erected in memory of Lt Col William Digby Oswald who was killed on the Somme in 1916. Geodesy The Hardy Monument was the origin (meridian) of the 6 inch and 1:2500 Ordnance Survey maps for Somerset and Dorset. References External links Hardy Monument information at the National Trust

Harefield Hospital

Harefield Hospital is a health institution in Harefield, London Borough of Hillingdon, England. It is managed by the Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. History The first hospital on the site was the No. 1 Australian Auxiliary Hospital established during the First World War to treat injured Australians and New Zealander soldiers. After the war Middlesex County Council decided to use the site to build a series of single-storey pavilions which opened as the Harefield Sanatorium in October 1921. Work started on a more permanent structure in 1935 and the new building was opened on 8 October 1937 by the Duke of Gloucester, with many of the wards featuring large open areas to give patients access to the fresh air. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. Amongst the hospital's roll call of distinguished cardiologists were Paul Wood and Walter Somerville. Arguably, the hospital's most famous surgeon was Professor Sir Magdi Yacoub, who performed the UK's first heart and lung transplant at Harefield in 1983. Under the leadership of Sir Magdi Yacoub, the Harefield Hospital transplant programme had begun in 1980 and by the end of the decade he and his team had performed one thousand of the procedures, while the hospital had become the leading UK transplant centre. In a January 2008 press release, the trust announced that Harefield Hospital had become the leader in the south east of England for treating acute heart attack patients with primary angioplasty and coronary stent insertion to reduce the length of hospital stays. In the 2010 staff survey conducted by the Care Quality Commission, one staff member in five (of those who responded to the survey) reported having been the subject of discrimination and one in fifty having been assaulted at work by a fellow staff member. However, "only a minority of staff said they felt work pressures, with four-fifths of employees adding they would recommend the trust as a place to work or receive treatment." Facilities The hospital advertises as being "one of the largest and most experienced centres in the world for heart and lung transplants" and having "jointly pioneered work in the development of 'artificial hearts' (also known as left ventricular assist devices or LVADs)". The grounds of the hospital also house the Harefield Heart Science Centre, where research is performed into the causes and treatments of heart disease.

Harlequin, Nottinghamshire

Harlequin is an area to the east of the Nottinghamshire village of Radcliffe on Trent in England, the two settlements separated by the A52 trunk road. It is contained within the Radcliffe on Trent civil parish, with Upper Saxondale to the east, and Radcliffe golf course and Dewberry Hill to the south. Geography Harlequin lies immediately east of the main Radcliffe on Trent settlement and is physically separated from it by the A52 trunk road. It occupies land on the southern side of the wider Trent valley landscape, with higher ground and open countryside beyond. The area is predominantly residential today, but retains its historical boundaries shaped by earlier horticultural and industrial land use. History Until the start of the 20th century there were several plant nurseries within Harlequin, which could account for its name. One theory is that visitors to nearby Belvoir Castle saw the banked colours of glasshouses and nursery flowers and likened them to patterns of a harlequin costume. Two brickworks businesses existed in the area until around 1940, along with several clay pits providing material. The area contained little residential housing until the 1940s onwards, much of the nurseries being sold to provide land for development. The area was notably once home to a Nottingham lace entrepreneur, George Mather. Transport The A52 road runs directly between Harlequin and the main village, forming a major east–west transport corridor between Nottingham and Grantham. Radcliffe railway station lies to the west, providing rail connections to Nottingham and Grantham and onward services beyond. The area is also served by bus services operated by Trentbarton, with frequent daily services linking Radcliffe on Trent with Nottingham (approximately every 10 minutes on weekdays).

Харлекуин (торговый центр)

Торговый центр Харлекуин (англ. The Harlequin Shopping Centre), в настоящее время официально известный как Инту Уотфорд (англ. Intu Watford), ― комплекс магазинов в центре города Уотфорд, графство Хартфордшир, Великобритания. Открылся между 1990 и 1992 годами. Торговый центр был официально переименован в «Инту Уотфорд» в 2013 году после переименования его материнской компании Capital Shopping Centers в Intu Properties. Торговый центр представляет из себя строение со стеклянной крышей с симметричными расположенными галереями магазинов. Среди основных магазинов ― John Lewis (также известный как Trewins до ребрендинга в 2001 году), Debenhams, Apple Store , Marks & Spencer, Zara и Next. История Начиная с 1962 году в городе обсуждались перспективы развития данной площадки. Выдвигались инициативы открытия боулинг-центра и жилого здания. Магазин Sainsbury на Куинс-роад был куплен и снесён в 1983 году, чтобы освободить пространство для торгового центра и складских помещений. Во время строительства торгового центра были отремонтированы все исторические здания на Куинс-роад, сама улица стала пешеходной. Торговый центр был открыт компанией Harlequin Enterprises Ltd в 1990 году (сама компания была основана в 1987 году и ликвидирована в 2000 году). В 1996 году Городской совет Уотфорда продлил действие схемы выдачи разрешений на парковку для жителей, чтобы справиться с пробками на парковках, возникшими после открытия торгового центра. Intu Properties приобрела соседний торговый центр Чартер-плейс у городского совета Уотфорда в апреле 2013 года. В 2014 году было предоставлено разрешение на снос Чартер-плейс» с целью освободить место для пристройки к Харлекуин, где помимо прочего должен был быть кинотеатр. Работы по сносу начались в ноябре 2015 года. В сентябре 2018 года Debenham открыла новый магазин в пристройке. Расширение площадью 400 000 кв. Футов увеличило общий размер торгового центра до почти 340 тыс. кв. м., что поместило его на 18-ю строчку в списке крупнейших торговых центров Великобритании. Примечания
Harlington Locomotive Society

The Harlington Locomotive Society is a railway society that operates a miniature steam railway about 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) in length through an old orchard in the village of Harlington, London Borough of Hillingdon, Greater London. The model railway was first started by Charles Shackle in 1927 and the society was officially founded in 1949. History The origins of the society were in 1927 when Charles Shackle, a former employee of the Great Western Railway, constructed a model railway in an orchard next to his house, and invited the public to help him; The society itself was founded in 1949. The society benefitted from the local presence of many engineering firms, such as EMI, the Aeolian Company, and the Fairey Aviation Company, as well as its close proximity to Heathrow Airport. Having closed, the model railway was reopened on 17 April 1954. Among the many events it runs for charity, the society hosted the annual charity day for the Diabeticare unit at Hillingdon Hospital on 25 May 2014 and 24 May 2016. As well as events held in the club house, visitors could ride on the model railway. In 2020, the society exhibited their locomotives at the London Model Engineering Exhibition at Alexandra Palace. Operation The society is situated in Harlington in the London Borough of Hillingdon, close to Heathrow Airport. The model railway is in the shape of a loop, with the sidings in the middle. The total length of track is about 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km). The railway has steam, diesel, and battery locomotives, but it is primarily operated as a steam railway. The line has a single tunnel, and one station, which was called Orchard Halt in the 1950s, but had been renamed to Harlington High Street by 2014. Besides the railway there is a club house, set in a shed building, which operates as a tearoom. It contains a small museum about railway history, and it is wheelchair accessible. The society holds open days where they give rides to children; the average ride lasts around one minute. As of 2014, the railway was open to the public twice a month between Easter and October, with an at-least similar arrangement still the case in 2020. The price of a single ride was 40p in 2010, 50p in 2012 and 2014, and 60p in 2016. References External links Official website
Harlington Upper School

Harlington Upper School (HUS) is a rural, coeducational upper school and sixth form with academy status in Harlington, Bedfordshire, England. History The school was established in 1974. In 2007 a house-based approach to student support was developed which includes "vertical" tutor groups, meaning that form groups have a mix of ages which encourages students to have stronger relationships with other members of the school, not exclusively their own year. In 2017, the school removed the vertical tutoring system but decided to keep the current houses. After removing this system, there are only eight schools nationally that still use the vertical tutor system. Rating The school was rated 'Good' in its latest Ofsted inspection, with inspectors praising the quality of teaching, strong exam results, and positive student-teacher relationships, particularly in the sixth form. The report also noted significant improvements in student behavior and a school culture focused on high expectations and academic achievement. Students The majority of students join Harlington from three Bedfordshire middle schools: Arnold, Parkfields and Robert Bloomfield. The students mainly live in the villages near Harlington including: Harlington, Toddington, Harlington Mill, Sharpenhoe, Barton-le-Clay, Silsoe, Clophill, Westoning, Pulloxhill, Greenfield, Maulden, Ampthill, Flitwick, Luton, Chalton, and Streatley. Most students join the school in year 9, aged 13. They start their GCSE courses in year 9 and take the GCSE exams in years 10 and 11, aged 15 or 16. Some students choose to continue attending the school following their GCSEs and join a large sixth form of over 420. Notable alumni Notable alumni include actor Neil Jackson, actress Emily Atack, and rugby player Josh Bassett. Events In 2019, to mark World Mental Health Day, students and staff organized a body-positive fashion show featuring clothing adorned with personal messages about body confidence. Held at the Harpur Centre in Bedford, the event aimed to encourage over 1,000 participants to reflect on self-image, promote self-acceptance, and raise awareness of mental health challenges influenced by societal and media pressures. Science College and Academy In September 2006 the school gained specialist Science College status. The school continues to teach the full range of National Curriculum subjects, but uses its strength and expertise in Science and Mathematics to support other schools and the local community. The school has also been selected by the DfES and the Specialist Schools Trust to become a Deep Support Hub for the Eastern Region. On 1 March 2012, Harlington Upper School officially became an academy. External links Official school website References
