Corbett Hospital

Corbett Hospital is a National Health Service (NHS) hospital run by the Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust located in Amblecote, Stourbridge, West Midlands, England. The hospital is an out-patient centre which opened on 25 May 2007 in a ceremony conducted by Tony Blair as part of his farewell tour before resigning as prime minister. History The Old Hospital The old hospital had its origins in a seven-bedroom mansion known as The Hill, the home of George Mills, a glass manufacturer who was a partner in the Albert Glass House situated in Wordsley. He committed suicide on 13 November 1885 after several years of mental illness. He left debts of £11,344-12s-6d. Although the house was in poor repair, it was eventually sold to pay off the liabilities. John Corbett, who spent his youth living at the Delph, made his fortune producing salt at Stoke Prior, Worcestershire. He purchased the house in December 1891. He repaired and refurbished it, changing it into a hospital, and endowed it to the local people on 31 July 1893, with a sum of £2,000 for endowment. The Corbett Hospital Preliminary Training School was opened in 1948 on the formation of the National Health Service, providing accommodation for 12 medical students. Accident and emergency unit An accident and emergency unit was opened in 1964 but closed 20 years later after a new unit was opened at Russells Hall Hospital. In the late 1990s, there was widespread local campaigning for the return of accident and emergency facilities at the Corbett, on the grounds that such facilities would reduce the waiting time for people around Stourbridge who needed the service. The original Corbett Hospital closed in 2005 after 112 years in use. The new building is situated within the grounds of the original one, which was demolished in late 2007.

Corbridge Bridge

Corbridge Bridge is a 17th-century stone bridge across the River Tyne at Corbridge, Northumberland, England, at the point where another structure, eventually a toll bridge, was constructed in the 13th-century. The later, characteristic 7-span structure would be the only bridge on the Tyne to withstand the Great Flood of 1771. As of 2015, it was listed as a Grade I listed building by Historic England. Earlier, the bridge carried the A68 road over the River Tyne, but since the opening of the Hexham bypass (A69), the A68 has crossed via the Styford Bridge, 3 miles (5 km) downstream of Corbridge. Structure The 21st-century bridge, remaining in place from its late 17th-century construction (see below), is of stone, and has a total length of 480 ft (146 m), with its being able, as of this date, to bear a load of 7.5 tonnes. History A bridge at Corbridge was built in 1235. In 1298 royal officers went to Corbridge to purchase horseshoes and nails, and a tariff was imposed to raise money for upkeep of the medieval bridge; included in it were tolls on nails of different kinds, horseshoes, cartwheel-sheaths, griddles, iron cauldrons and vats, and the bridge became a great asset to the town. Described in 1306 as the only bridge between Newcastle and Carlisle, it was maintained also as a link between England and Scotland. In either 1674 or 1690 it was replaced by the seven-arched bridge that exists to the present. The reconstructed bridge would be the only one on the Tyne to withstand the Great Flood of 1771. In 1881 it was widened to 3 ft (1 m) without significant alteration to its appearance. As of 2015, the Corbridge Bridge was listed as a Grade I listed building by Historic England. Current use The bridge had earlier carried the A68 road over the River Tyne, but since the opening of the Hexham bypass (A69), the A68 has crossed via the Styford Bridge, 3 miles (5 km) downstream of Corbridge.

Corbridge Vicar's Pele is a pele tower in the village of Corbridge, Northumberland, England. It was a three-storey defensive pele tower, with one room to each storey, built in the churchyard in 1318, and used as the vicarage for the adjacent church. It is built largely from sandstone taken from the Roman fortress at Coria nearby. It was in use as a vicarage until the early 17th century. In the summer of 2016 the tower was re-opened as a wedding and events venue after a three-year redevelopment project.

Garrick Club

Der Garrick Club ist ein berühmter Londoner Gentlemen’s Club, dem vor allem männliche Schauspieler, Schriftsteller und andere Kunstschaffende, in gewissem Umfang aber auch Vertreter der Rechtsberufe angehören. Gegründet wurde er 1831 unter Federführung von Herzog Augustus Frederick, einem Bruder von König William IV. Seinen Namen verdankt der Club David Garrick, dem führenden britischen Mimen des 18. Jahrhunderts. Entsprechend seinen Zielen befindet sich das Clubhaus in 13–15 Garrick Street etwas abseits des rund um die Pall Mall gelegenen eigentlichen „Clubland“, und dafür in größerer Nähe zum Londoner Theaterbezirk um Covent Garden. Die Strenge der Aufnahmekriterien kommt in der Maßgabe zum Ausdruck „It would be better that ten unobjectionable men should be excluded than one terrible bore should be admitted“. Zu den berühmtesten Mitgliedern zählten u. a. die Schriftsteller Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, George Meredith, der Schauspieler Henry Irving, der Komponist Edward Elgar und Maler wie Frederic Leighton und Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Bekannt ist der Club auch für seine über 1000 Exponate umfassende kunst- und theaterwissenschaftlichen Sammlungen sowie für seine Fachbibliothek. Gegenstand von öffentlicher Kritik war immer wieder, dass der Club Frauen keine Aufnahme gewährte. Aus diesem Grund traten 2024 der Chef des Öffentlichen Dienstes, Simon Case, und der Chef des Secret Intelligence Service, Richard Moore, aus dem Club aus. Nach einer mehrheitlich positiv ausgefallenen Abstimmung unter den Mitgliedern steht seit Mai 2024 der Club Personen unabhängig des Geschlechts offen. Weblink Offizielle Website Einzelnachweise
Garrick Club

Le Garrick Club est un célèbre club de Londres auquel appartiennent principalement des comédiens, des écrivains et d'autres artistes, mais aussi, dans une certaine mesure, des représentants des professions juridiques. Il a été fondé en 1831 sous l'égide du duc de Sussex, frère cadet du roi Guillaume IV et président de la Royal Society. Le club doit son nom à David Garrick, le plus grand comédien britannique du XVIIIe siècle, dont un portrait en costume de roi domine l'escalier d'honneur. Conformément à ses objectifs, le siège du Garrick Club se trouve au 13-15, Garrick Street, à quelque distance du « Club Land » de Pall Mall, et donc à proximité du quartier de Covent Garden, où se situent les théâtres de Londres. Le club possède un buste de Shakespeare commandé au sculpteur Louis-François Roubiliac. Description Le recrutement se fait par cooptation. La rigueur des critères d'admission tient dans l'expression : « It would be better that ten unobjectionable men should be excluded than one terrible bore should be admitted. » Les statuts d'origine précisent que le Garrick a pour mission d'encourager l'art du théâtre d'une façon générale, en étant à la fois un club et une société littéraire. Il se donne notamment pour but de rassembler une bibliothèque consacrée au théâtre. Sa réputation vient aussi d'une vaste collection de plus de 1 000 objets qui y sont exposés, relatifs à l'art et au théâtre. Le Garrick accepte les femmes depuis 2024. Parmi les plus célèbres des membres figuraient entre autres les écrivains Charles Dickens, Thackeray, George Meredith et J. M. Barrie, les peintres Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Frederic Leighton et John Everett Millais, l'acteur Henry Irving et le compositeur Edward Elgar. À une date plus récente, on citera A. A. Milne, le créateur de Winnie l'ourson, George Mikes et Kingsley Amis. Par ailleurs, la Literary Society se réunit une fois par mois dans les locaux du Garrick. Polémique En mars 2024, The Guardian s'est procuré la liste des membres du club et a décidé d'en publier un extrait. Parmi les membres, figurent le roi Charles III, plusieurs ministres, le chef du MI6 Richard Moore ou encore le secrétaire général de Downing Street Simon Case. Or ce club était toujours réservé aux hommes selon une ancienne règle dénoncée comme archaïque et symbolisant l'entre-soi masculin des lieux de pouvoir britanniques. Richard Moore et Simon Case ont annoncé démissionner de ce club. En mai 2024, près de 60% des membres Club votent officiellement pour élargir les conditions d'admission aux femmes. De nombreuses personnes avaient menacé de démissionner si les femmes n'étaient toujours pas acceptées comme membres.
