Astrea Academy Dearne

Astrea Academy Dearne (legal name The Dearne Academy) is a coeducational secondary school located in the Dearne Valley, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. It caters mainly for pupils from the Goldthorpe, Thurnscoe and Bolton-on-Dearne areas of Barnsley. It currently has around 1,157 pupils aged 11–16 years. History The school was previously known as Dearneside Secondary Modern and then Dearneside Comprehensive School until its merger with Thurnscoe Comprehensive School to create The Dearne High School in September 1991. It received specialist humanities status in 2008 making it The Dearne High – A Specialist Humanities College. In 2007 the percentage of pupils gaining five A* to C grades rose 18% to 54%, but in 2008 the school was one of eight schools in Barnsley to be told by the government that they were not meeting national targets on the number of pupils gaining five A*–C GCSEs. In 2008 the school published a book of short stories, Out of the Shadows: An Anthology of Fantasy Stories, which sold in high street stores and was among the top three fantasy books on Amazon, and in 2009 pupils at the school produced a graphic novel called Fools Gold. A new school building was constructed during 2010 next to the existing school for £29 million as part of Barnsley Council's "Building Schools for the Future" project, and the new site opened in January 2011 as The Dearne Advanced Learning Centre. In 2011 the school was one of two in the country to send pupils to a remembrance event in Ypres, Belgium, as part of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Travel scheme. The school was awarded £50,000 in 2011 by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Previously a community school administered by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council, in February 2019 Dearne Advanced Learning Centre converted to academy status, sponsored by Astrea Academy Trust. The school's legal name is The Dearne Academy, but it uses the name Astrea Academy Dearne publicly. Thurnscoe Comprehensive School was a coeducational community comprehensive school in Thurnscoe which was founded in 1970.

Debenham High School

Debenham High Schools is a secondary school located in the village of Debenham in Suffolk, UK. The school accepts students who are between 11 and 16 years old and live in the catchment. Any spare places are then allocated to students outside of the catchment. History The school was first opened as a Modern School in 1964, originally designed to cater for 250 students. The school primarily accepted students who were not offered places at the local grammar school. Before the school was built these students would have been taught in the local village schools of "Debenham, Stonham Aspal or at Framlingham". The introduction of Comprehensive education in Suffolk, resulted in an expansion of the school and Debenham Modern School became Debenham High School in 1979. Former headteachers Arthur Holifield was appointed the first Headmaster of the school and he appointed the first eleven teachers to the school. Angela McClelland was Headteacher in 1983. Michael Crawshaw was Headteacher in 1989 to 2012. In 2006 he was awarded an OBE for services to education. Julia Upton was Headteacher in 2012 to 2020. As of 2020 Simon Martin is Headteacher.

Debenham House

Debenham House (or Peacock House) at 8 Addison Road is a large detached house in the Holland Park district of Kensington and Chelsea, W14. Built in the Arts and Crafts style by the architect Halsey Ricardo, it is a Grade I listed building. History The house was designed in 1905 for department store owner Ernest Ridley Debenham. Debenham had previously lived in another house designed by Ricardo, at 57 Melbury Road in Holland Park. The house only became known as Debenham House after it was sold on Sir Ernest's death. From 1955 to 1965, the house was used by the London College of Dance and Drama. In the 1990s, it housed the headquarters of Richmond Fellowship and was the venue for Royal Garden Parties. Architecture Debenham House combines an Italianate exterior with an Arts and Crafts interior. Both are richly decorated. The house is clad in Royal Doulton Carrara ware with green and blue Burmantofts bricks. Ricardo favoured polychromy for its design effects, but it also served a practical purpose, as the glazing resisted the aging effects of the polluted London air. The critic Jonathan Meades described the house as "structurally stodgy – an alderman dressed as a hippy." The interior contains tiles designed by William De Morgan, a mosaic dome painted by Gaetano Meo, ceilings painted by Ernest Gimson and stained glass by Edward Schroeder Prior. The decoration throughout is overwhelming. A domed hall has a gallery linking the upstairs rooms. Mosaics show members of the Debenham family, mixed with gods and goddesses from classical mythology. There are marble and tile fireplaces and mahogany bookcases decorated with Art Nouveau inserts in wood and mother of pearl. The light switches were made by the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft. Filming location The house has been used as a film and television location, including; The Wings of the Dove (1997 film), Secret Ceremony, What the Butler Saw, Spooks, two episodes of Agatha Christie's Poirot, Lord Edgware Dies and Cards on the Table, Trottie True and the BBC's The Mrs Bradley Mysteries.

Debenham House

Debenham House (o Peacock House) al n. 8 Addison Road, a Londra, è una grande casa indipendente nel quartiere di Holland Park di Kensington e Chelsea, W14. Costruita in stile Arts and Crafts dall'architetto Halsey Ricardo, è un edificio classificato di I grado. Storia La casa venne progettata nel 1905 per il proprietario di un grande magazzino Ernest Ridley Debenham che aveva precedentemente vissuto in un'altra casa progettata da Ricardo, al 57 di Melbury Road a Holland Park. La casa divenne nota come Debenham House solo dopo essere stata venduta alla morte di Sir Ernest. Per un certo numero di anni (almeno dal 1955 al 1962), la casa è stata una scuola residenziale, la London School of Dance, per futuri ballerini e istruttori di danza. Negli anni 1990 ha ospitato la sede della Richmond Fellowship ed è stata la sede dei Royal Garden Party. Architettura L'esterno di Debenham House è in architettura italianeggiante, mentre lo stile degli interni è Arts and Crafts. È riccamente colorato ovunque. Le parti principali dell'esterno sono rivestite in variegate ceramiche Royal Doulton Carrara con pannelli interni rivestiti con mattonelle Burmantofts verdi e blu. Ricardo era un sostenitore della "policromia strutturale". I materiali vetrati erano anche destinati a resistere agli effetti dell'invecchiamento dell'aria inquinata di Londra. Il critico Jonathan Meades ha descritto la casa come "strutturalmente noiosa - un consigliere vestito da hippy". L'interno contiene piastrelle disegnate da William De Morgan, una cupola a mosaico dipinta da Gaetano Meo e soffitti dipinti da Ernest Gimson. La sala a cupola, elemento centrale dell'interno, ha un ballatoio al primo piano che collega le stanze al piano superiore. La decorazione in tutta la casa è straordinariamente ricca. I mosaici raffigurano membri della famiglia Debenham e soggetti della mitologia classica. Ci sono caminetti in marmo e piastrellati, vetrate disegnate da ES Prior e librerie in mogano con intarsi Art Nouveau in legno e madreperla. Gli interruttori della luce vennero appositamente progettati e realizzati dalla Birmingham Guild of Handicraft. Nel cinema Gli interni hanno avuto un ruolo di primo piano nel film di Iain Softley, Le ali della colomba del 1997. L'esterno della casa è stato utilizzato nel film Secret Ceremony, diretto da Joseph Losey. Il personaggio interpretato da Elizabeth Taylor, Leonora, risiedeva nella casa. Debenham House è apparsa anche nelle serie televisive What the Butler Saw e Spooks. La casa è stata utilizzata come location per le riprese della serie televisiva Poirot, Lord Edgware Dies e Cards on the Table di Agatha Christie. La casa compare anche nel film del 1949 Trottie True.

Decca Studios

De Decca Studios (Nederlands: Decca-studio's) was een opnamestudio van het platenlabel Decca in de wijk West Hampstead in Londen. Met de komst van deze studio's was British Decca in staat om te concurreren met de kwaliteit zoals die geleverd werd door Abbey Road Studios van het concurrerende HMV, daar waar ze voorheen waren aangewezen op geïmproviseerde opstellingen met inferieure akoestische kwaliteit. De studio's werden in maart 1937 verworven door Decca bij de overname van de Crystalate Gramophone Record Manufacturing Company. Toen Decca in 1980 werd verkocht aan Philips-dochter PolyGram werden de studio's gesloten. Het gebouw werd hernoemd tot Lilian Baylis House en wordt sindsdien gebruikt als oefenruimte voor de English National Opera. In de studio werd veel klassieke muziek opgenomen, maar bijvoorbeeld ook muziek van Fleetwood Mac, de Moody Blues, The Marmalade en The Zombies. De beroemde auditie van The Beatles waarbij zij werden afgewezen vond plaats in deze studio's. Ook de debuut-EP van de Rolling Stones werd hier opgenomen. Decca had ook studio's in New York, Hollywood en Chicago. Externe link philsbook.com, The Classic UK Recording Studios Resource By Tony Harris and Phil Burns
Dee House

Dee House is in Little John Street, Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. The house is built on the southern part of the site of Chester Amphitheatre. History Dee House was built in about 1730 as a town house for John Comberbach, a former mayor of Chester. Extensions were made in the 1740s to the south and southwest, giving the house an L-shaped plan. It continued in use as a private residence until about 1850, when it was sold to the Church of England. In 1854 it passed to the Faithful Companions of Jesus, a religious institute of the Roman Catholic Church, who used it as a convent school. They added a wing to the east, which incorporated in its ground floor a chapel designed by Edmund Kirby. The chapel is in Gothic Revival style, in contrast to the rest of the building in Georgian style. A west wing in Neo-Georgian style was added in about 1900. In 1925 the building was taken over by the Ursulines, another religious institute. In 1929 they added another block to the south of the building, and during the process the remains of a Roman amphitheatre were found beneath it. In the early 1970s the convent closed and the building was used as offices by British Telecom. They vacated the building in the early 1990s and it has been empty since. Architecture The building is constructed in brick with stone dressings, and has slate roofs. Its plan consists of a central block and two wings. The central block is in Georgian style, the west wing is Neo-Georgian, and the east wing, which incorporates the chapel, is Gothic Revival. The windows in the central block and the west wing are sashes, and those in east wing are lancets. The slates on the roof of the east wing are in grey and purple bands. On the apex of the roof of this wing is a cross finial. See also Grade II listed buildings in Chester (east) List of works by Edmund Kirby References
Deepcar

Deepcar is a village located on the eastern fringe of the town of Stocksbridge, South Yorkshire, England. It is in the electoral ward of Stocksbridge and Upper Don, 10 miles (16 km) south-west of Barnsley town centre and 9.5 miles (15.3 km) approximately north-west of Sheffield city centre. Geography The village lies south-west of the confluence of the River Don and Little Don River, and near to the junctions of the A616 road and A6102 roads, and the former junction of the 'Woodhead Line' (Sheffield to Penistone section, built for the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway) and private Stocksbridge Railways; the village was served by the Deepcar railway station from 1846 to 1959. History The Deepcar archaeological site, which included a structure or 'house', dating to the Mesolithic period, and ascribed to the Maglemosian culture was excavated in 1962 close to the junction of the Don and Little Don at Wharncliffe Wood. (grid reference SK 2920 9812). The site's culture has similarities to Star Carr in North Yorkshire, but gives its name to unique "Deepcar type assemblages" of microliths in the archaeology literature. A potential Romano-British settlement has also been identified near the river banks. The parish church of St John the Evangelist was opened in 1878.

Deepcar

Deepcar is een klein dorpje ten noordwesten van Sheffield, op ongeveer 11 kilometer van het stadscentrum verwijderd. Het bevindt zich ten oosten van het stadje Stocksbridge, dat deel uitmaakt van Groot-Sheffield. Ten oosten van Deepcar ligt het bos Wharncliffe Wood, dat de rechteroever van de Don zuidwaarts volgt tot Oughtibridge. De A6102 volgt vanaf Deepcar eveneens de loop van de Don en leidt zuidwaarts naar Wharncliffe Side. Vanuit het westen stroomt hier de Little Don, die in Deepcar in de Don uitmondt. Deepcar ligt in de civil parish Stocksbridge en is er steeds nauw mee verbonden geweest. Geschiedenis In 1962 werden in het woud te Deepcar restanten van een 7000 jaar oude nederzetting uit wellicht de Maglemosecultuur aangetroffen. Langs de rivier zijn tevens sporen aangetroffen die op de aanwezigheid van Romeinen wijzen. Deepcar ontwikkelde zich waarschijnlijk op dezelfde wijze als Stocksbridge en Oughtibridge, namelijk als kleinschalige landbouwgemeenschap tot aan de Industriële revolutie. In 1805 werd de eerste weg tussen Stocksbridge en Deepcar aangelegd. Toen Oughtibridge, ten zuiden van Deepcar, naar het eind van de 18de eeuw toe tot een nijverheidscentrum begon uit te groeien, kwam in Stocksbridge in het noorden eveneens de industrie op gang; het lag dus voor de hand dat beide kernen door een spoorlijn verbonden zouden worden. De Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne and Manchester Railway opende de stations van Oughtibridge en Deepcar op dezelfde dag, namelijk 14 juli 1845. Het oude station Deepcar sloot gelijktijdig met dat van Oughtibridge de deuren op 15 juni 1959, en is thans een privéwoning. In de late 19de eeuw telde Deepcar meerdere kleine fabrieken, waaronder een bakstenenfabriek die exact honderd jaar bestaan heeft: van 1891 tot 1991. Industrieel Samuel Fox, uitvinder van het moderne regenscherm, opende te Stocksbridge een staalfabriek, Samuel Fox and Company. Om aansluiting op de Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway te hebben, liet hij in 1876 een eigen spoorwegmaatschappij stichten, die Stocksbridge op laatstgenoemde lijn liet aansluiten te Deepcar. Deze maatschappij stond bekend als de Stocksbridge Railway en bleef tot 1992 afhankelijk van de staalfabriek, ook nadat die anno 1967 tot British Steel genationaliseerd werd. Van 1877 tot 1931 werden eveneens passagiers vanuit Deepcar vervoerd. Anno 2014 is de lijn nog voor het vervoer van schroot in gebruik. In Deepcar bevindt zich een parkje dat ‘Fox Glen’ heet en door de nazaten van Samuel Fox in 1911 aan de gemeenschap werd geschonken ter gelegenheid van de kroning van Koning George V. Het dorpje telt drie pubs en heeft een eigen blaaskapel.

Defence Animal Centre

Le Defence Animal Centre (DAC) est le centre d'entraînement pour animaux des Forces armées britanniques. Installé à Melton Mowbray, dans l'est du Leicestershire, il est aussi le siège du Royal Army Veterinary Corps. Le DAC est actuellement sous la responsabilité du Royal School of Military Engineering (en) (l'école royale du génie). Histoire L'armée de terre britannique s'est installée à Melton Mombray en 1946. Les chiens de la police de la Royal Air Force y sont entraînés depuis 1994. L'école d'équitation de l'armée de terre y a été inaugurée par la Princesse Anne le 28 février 2008. Fonctions Organisation Le DAC prépare des chiens pour les forces armées britanniques ainsi que pour l’UK Immigration Service (en) (jusqu'en 2007), le HM Prison Service, le HM Revenue and Customs (les douanes britanniques), ainsi que pour d'autres agences du gouvernement britannique et étrangères, notamment l'Irish Revenue Customs Service (les douanes irlandaises). Les chiens policiers, pour leur part, sont entraînés dans neuf centres régionaux comme celui du Metropolitan Police Service à Keston et en Écosse celui de Parc de Pollok. Chiens de détection Les chiens, souvent des Springer anglais, des Labradors et des Bergers belges, sont entraînés comme chiens de détection pour les drogues, les bombes et leurs fragments. On leur apprend notamment à détecter le TNT, le C-4, le Semtex et les Cordtex. Fourniture d'animaux Le DAC entraîne environ 300 chiens par an, chacun pendant quatre à six mois. Certains sont offerts par le public, le reste étant souvent acheté auprès de vendeurs nationaux ou étrangers. L'hôpital vétérinaire soigne tous les chiens (Canine Training Squadron, ou escadron d'entraînement canin) et chevaux (Equine Training Squadron) des Forces armées britanniques (principalement de l'Armée de terre britannique). Le site a été utilisé pour l'entraînement des Jeux olympiques d'été de 2012 (cyclisme et équitation). Au combat Lors de leurs missions, certains chiens de guerre (et chiens policiers) peuvent être équipés de gilets pare-balles adaptés à leur morphologie. École militaire de maréchal-ferrant Le DAC comporte une école de maréchal-ferrant (réparation de fers à cheval) reconnue par la Worshipful Company of Farriers (en) et le Farriers Registered Council. Des compétitions internationales de ferrage s'y déroulent chaque année. Les écuries du DAC peuvent accueillir 140 chevaux, et 260 dans ses 0,97 km2 de pâtures.
