Cedars (immigration detention)

Cedars was an immigration detention facility in Crawley, West Sussex, United Kingdom adjacent to Gatwick Airport. It was operated by UK Visas and Immigration with security and facilities maintenance contracted out to G4S and Barnardo's providing social workers and child welfare services. Opened in 2011, Cedars was the first immigration detention center in the UK specifically designated for families with children. Unlike other facilities for single adults, which are essentially medium security prisons holding immigration violators pending deportation, Cedars consisted of apartments in a more open atmosphere. As a result, the UK Border Agency has referred to the facility as pre-departure accommodation rather than immigration detention. The closing of the costly, under-used facility was announced in August 2016. It was closed permanently in December 2016. Facility Cedars was built around 9 individual apartments that can accommodate families of up to 6 persons. Each apartment had between 1 and 3 bedrooms, a living room, full kitchen and en-suite bathroom. Families were free to move about the interior of the facility at all times and the facility's grounds during daylight hours. They could also leave the facility with a staff escort for supervised activities. a fitness center including a basketball court, and equipment for football and other outdoor sports play areas for children several lounges a cafe and dining area - residents may either eat in the cafe or request ingredients to take back to their apartment and cook a library including immigration law materials a multi-faith prayer room and Mosque computing and internet facilities Residents also had access to organized recreational activities, healthcare, counselling, therapy, and ministerial services if needed or desired. Controversy The use of G4S who has provided deportee escort services in the past for the UK Border Agency is not without controversy for the connection of three former employees to the death of Jimmy Mubenga in 2010.

Salford Royal Hospital

Salford Royal Hospital (formerly known as Hope Hospital) is a large university teaching hospital in the metropolitan borough of Salford, England operated by Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. It was previously one of the top-performing hospitals in the United Kingdom. History The original hospital in Salford was established in Chapel Street in 1827 and was known as the Salford and Pendleton Dispensary. It became the Salford and Pendleton Royal Hospital and Dispensary in 1847 and the Salford Royal Hospital in the 1870s. In June 1941, during the Manchester Blitz, the hospital on Chapel Street was struck by German bombs and 14 nurses died. Following the formation of the NHS Trust in 1990 and budget cuts imposed by the Government in the early 1990s, the hospital on Chapel Street closed in 1994 and was converted into luxury flats. A memorial stone tablet to commemorate the nurses killed during the Blitz remains above the original Chapel Street entrance. Meanwhile, the original hospital in Hope, which was built on the south side of Eccles Road between 1880 and 1882 to accommodate sick paupers working at the local workhouse, was known as the Salford Union Infirmary. The hospital became known as Hope Hospital, taking the name of the medieval Hope Hall, which had been demolished in 1956. A redevelopment scheme for Hope Hospital was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2007. The construction work, which was designed by Ryder / HKS and carried out by Balfour Beatty at a cost of £136 million, was completed in 2012. The hospital at Hope was rebranded as the Salford Royal Hospital during the redevelopment. In January 2018, it was announced that a major trauma centre, complete with a rooftop helipad, would be built at the Salford Royal Hospital at a cost of £48 million. It is intended that 90 per cent of all major trauma patients in the Greater Manchester area will be treated there once it is completed.

Chester Castle

Chester Castle ist der Name eines Areals in der englischen Stadt Chester, auf dem bis in das 18. Jahrhundert eine Burg stand. Von der großen Anlage sind heute jedoch nur noch die Ringmauer des inneren Burghofs, Reste des sogenannten Flag Tower (deutsch: Fahnenturm) und das innere Burgtor – Agricola Turm genannt – aus dem 12. Jahrhundert erhalten. Die Mehrheit der heute auf dem Areal befindlichen Gebäude sind Neubauten des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts. Geschichte An der Stelle der mittelalterlichen Burg stand schon im 10. Jahrhundert eine sächsische Befestigungsanlage. Hugh d’Avranches, erster Earl of Chester, ließ 1069/70 diese durch eine Motte im normannischen Stil ersetzen. Als südlicher Eckpunkt der Stadtbefestigung von Chester sicherte die Burg die nahe gelegene Brücke über den Dee und diente als Stützpunkt für die weitere normannische Eroberung Englands. Der hölzerne Turm auf einem künstlich aufgeschütteten Hügel wurde bereits im 12. Jahrhundert durch einen steinernen, viereckigen Turm, den Flag Tower, ersetzt. Nachdem 1237 der letzte Earl of Chester ohne männliche Erben verstorben war, fiel die Grafschaft an die englische Krone. König Heinrich III. und sein Sohn Edward I. ließen in den Folgejahren die Burg durch einen Wohnbau im Süden des inneren Burghofs ausbauen und die gesamte Anlage weiter befestigen. Von 1247 bis 1251 erfolgte der Austausch der hölzernen Palisade durch eine steinerne Ringmauer. Bereits im 12. Jahrhundert war die Anlage um einen großen, äußeren Burghof mit umlaufender Ringmauer erweitert worden, welcher der Kernburg nördlich vorgelagert war. Sein Torbau wurde um 1290 verstärkt, sodass er nach Abschluss der Arbeiten aus einem mächtigen steinernen Tor mit zwei flankierenden, halbrunden Türmen bestand. Erreichbar war er über eine Zugbrücke, die einen acht Meter breiten Burggraben überspannte. In den späten 1570er Jahren wurden an der Ostseite des äußeren Burghofs mehrere, teils repräsentative Gebäude errichtet, welche die Administration und das Gericht der Grafschaft sowie ein Gefängnis beheimateten. Während des Englischen Bürgerkriegs trug Chester Castle starke Beschädigungen davon und wurde in der Folgezeit nur unzureichend wieder instand gesetzt. Um 1780 wurde deshalb ein Großteil der heruntergekommenen mittelalterlichen Bauten niedergelegt, um für moderne Neubauten Platz zu schaffen. Zwischen 1785 und 1822 wurden anschließend unter der Leitung von Thomas Harrison die heutigen Gebäude errichtet. Nach ihrer Fertigstellung nahmen sie eine wesentlich größere Fläche ein, als es die Burg zuvor getan hatte. Noch heute dient Chester Castle als Gerichtsgebäude. Darüber hinaus beheimatet es das Cheshire Military Museum. Weblinks Informationen über Chester Castle auf chester.gov.uk (englisch) (Memento vom 25.

Castello di Chester

Il castello di Chester, costruito tra il 1788 e il 1822, è un edificio progettato da Thomas Harrison realizzato a Chester, città dell'Inghilterra capoluogo della contea di Cheshire, sulla base del castello medioevale ivi presente e costruito nel 1070 da Ugo d'Avranches, I conte di Chester. È un tribunale che ha un portico a forma di pronao esastilo. Il pronao viene utilizzato spesso nell'architettura neogreca per connotare un edificio pubblico. L'ingresso avviene attraverso una porta che rievoca i propilei dell'acropoli di Atene costituito da un portico centrale con ai lati due altri elementi con colonne di ordine dorico. Questo ingresso viene chiamato Propilæum. Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Chester Castle Collegamenti esterni (EN) Sito ufficiale, su english-heritage.org.uk.

Cementation Furnace, Sheffield

The Cementation Furnace in Sheffield is a Grade II Listed Building and is the only example of this type of steel making furnace to survive intact in Great Britain. It is situated on Doncaster Street in the St Vincent's Quarter of Sheffield city centre, close to Shalesmoor tram stop of the South Yorkshire Supertram. History The furnace was built in 1848 to produce steel by the cementation process by the local steel firm of Daniel Doncasters and Sons, a firm which had been established in Sheffield in 1778. By 1860 there were 250 cementation furnaces in Sheffield capable of producing 80,000 tons of blister steel and the large conical structures were a characteristic feature of the city's industrial landscape. The furnace on Doncaster Street is the only remaining example which is undamaged although there are two other sites in the immediate area which have examples which are partially intact, these being at Bower Spring and Millsands. The Doncaster Street furnace operated throughout World War II and a blackout cover was fitted to the furnace outlet as a precaution during air raids, this is still in place today (painted white). The furnace ceased operation in 1951. Present day After standing unused for 40 years the furnace was restored in 1992/93 with financial assistance from the HSBC (then Midland) Bank. The furnace is surrounded by low fencing and a locked gate with the key being available from the curator at the nearby Kelham Island Museum. References
