Salts Mill

Salts Mill (sometimes spelled Salt's Mill) is a former textile mill, now incorporating an art gallery, shops, restaurant, and spaces to rent in Saltaire, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It was commissioned and financed by Sir Titus Salt and opened in 1853. The construction involved multiple firms, including J and W Beanland, a respected Bradford building company known for their skilled craftsmanship. At that point, the mill was the largest industrial building in the world by total floor area. The present-day 1853 Gallery takes its name from that date. The mill has many paintings by local artist David Hockney on display. The Mill and surrounding village of Saltaire was financed and built by the 19th century industrialist and philanthropist Sir Titus Salt after he observed other textile factories and was disappointed by the working conditions he saw there. At the time mill working conditions were commonly poor, with most workers suffering disease, low wages and labour exploitation. Dangerous machinery and long hours, sometimes exceeding 16 hour working days, resulted in frequent accidents. Titus Salt acknowledged this and built a factory and surrounding village with which he intended to improve the working conditions for his employees. It is a grade II* listed building. The mill closed in 1986 and the following year it was sold to Jonathan Silver, who began a long renovation scheme. Spelling The spellings Salts Mill and Salt's Mill (that is, with and without an apostrophe) are both commonly used. The former is used consistently by the Salts Mill website, the Saltaire Village website, and Visit Bradford from the official Bradford Tourist Information service. Both versions are used in the UNESCO World Heritage documentation. Peace Museum Bradford's Peace Museum moved to the third floor of the mill in August 2024. The move was paid for by the Bradford 2025 City of Culture fund and the national lottery.

Salvatorian College

Salvatorian College is an academy for boys between the ages of 11–18, situated in Wealdstone in the London Borough of Harrow, founded by Gabriel Enderley. The spiritual founder of the college is considered to be Francis Mary of the Cross Jordan. History Salvatorian College was founded in 1926 by the Salvatorian Brothers. They had come to Harrow in 1901 and established a small parish dedicated to Saint Joseph. It was not until 1926 that the community was big enough to warrant the opening of a school. The grammar school opened in September that year with thirteen boys and Cuthbert Smith as the first headmaster. Shortly after, a prep (preparatory) department for boys aged 8–11 was opened as pupil numbers grew. Under the tripartite system, it attained voluntary aided grammar school status in 1961. The prep department was closed that same year. With the abolition of the tripartite system and Harrow LEA adopting the three-tier system in 1979, the sixth form was closed and consolidated into the coeducational St Dominic's Sixth Form College, formerly a convent grammar school for girls in Harrow run by the Dominican Sisters, while the college became a comprehensive school for boys aged 12 to 16, although the entry age later became 11 when Harrow Council reverted to the two-tier system in line with other London boroughs. The first lay headmaster/headteacher was appointed in 1981, and most teachers are lay staff, but the school remains under the trusteeship of the Salvatorians, whose provincial office is located down the road from the school, and the provincial priest serves as vice chair of governors. The college was a grant-maintained school until the scheme was abolished, and it switched to become a voluntary aided school. In 2012, the school became an academy. Between 2017 and 2020 the school underwent a complete rebuild. Former headmasters/headteachers Cuthbert Smith (1926–1937) Xavier Howard (1937–1947) Thomas Hennessey (1947–1961) Dominic Crilly (1961–1981) John Montgomery (1981–1987) Kevin Wehrle (1987–1999) Andrew Graham (1999–2012) Paul Kassapian (2012–2017) Alan Bryant (head of school) (2017–) Martin Tissot (executive headteacher) (2017–) Houses In the school there is a house system which students are placed into at the beginning of their school career; they are Alban, Beckett, Campion, Teresa, Francis and Gabriel.

Samphire Hoe

Samphire Hoe ist ein 30 Hektar großer Naturpark an der Küste von Kent, England, zwischen Folkestone und Dover. Das Gelände entstand aus 4,9 Millionen Kubikmetern Kreidemergel, die beim Bau des Channel Tunnels ausgehoben wurden. Das Areal gehört Getlink (ehemals Groupe Eurotunnel), einer Tochtergesellschaft des Eurotunnels, und wird in Partnerschaft mit der White Cliffs Countryside Partnership verwaltet. Geschichte Die Fläche unterhalb der berühmten Kreidefelsen von Dover war historisch von verschiedenen industriellen Aktivitäten geprägt. Bereits 1843 wurden Teile der Klippen gesprengt, um Platz für die Eisenbahnlinie zwischen Dover und Folkestone zu schaffen. Spätere Versuche, einen Tunnel unter dem Ärmelkanal zu bauen, scheiterten. Erst in den 1980er-Jahren wurde das Gebiet als geeignet für die Ablagerung des Aushubs des Channel Tunnels identifiziert. Nach Abschluss der Bauarbeiten wurde das Gelände renaturiert und 1997 als öffentlicher Park eröffnet. Samphire Hoe wurde bisher (Stand 2024) fünfzehnmal mit dem Green Flag Award ausgezeichnet. Name Der Name „Samphire Hoe“ wurde 1994 durch einen öffentlichen Wettbewerb festgelegt. „Samphire“ bezieht sich auf die Felsen-Meerfenchel-Pflanze, die an den Klippen wächst, während „Hoe“ ein altenglischer Begriff für ein Landstück ist, das ins Meer hinausragt. Ökologie und Biodiversität Samphire Hoe ist ein bedeutendes Refugium für Flora und Fauna. Der Park beherbergt über 200 Pflanzenarten, darunter seltene Arten wie die Spinnen-Ragwurz. Auch Vögel wie Wanderfalke, Steinschmätzer und Uferschwalbe sind hier heimisch. Reptilien wie Eidechsen und Kreuzottern können ebenfalls beobachtet werden. Besuch und Einrichtungen Der Park ist täglich von 7.00 Uhr bis zur Abenddämmerung geöffnet; der letzte Einlass erfolgt um 19.00 Uhr. Der Zugang erfolgt über einen einspurigen Tunnel, der durch Ampeln geregelt ist. Vor Ort gibt es: kostenpflichtige Parkplätze barrierefreie Toiletten einen Teekiosk ein Bildungszentrum Ein rund 2 km langer Rundweg mit befestigten Wegen erlaubt Spaziergänge entlang der Küste. Aktivitäten Samphire Hoe bietet vielfältige Freizeitmöglichkeiten: Wandern und Radfahren: Der Park ist Teil des North Downs Way sowie der National Cycle Route 2. Angeln: Angelerlaubnisse sind vor Ort erhältlich. Bildungsprogramme: Für Schulklassen und Gruppen werden naturpädagogische Aktivitäten angeboten. Naturbeobachtung: Die reiche Biodiversität lädt zur Beobachtung und Fotografie ein. Bedeutung Samphire Hoe gilt als herausragendes Beispiel für nachhaltige Landschaftsgestaltung. Aus einem industriellen Nebenprodukt entstand ein wertvoller Naturraum, der sowohl dem Umweltschutz dient als auch der Öffentlichkeit zur Erholung offensteht.

Tudor Grange Samworth Academy, A Church of England School

Tudor Grange Samworth Academy, A Church of England School, previously known as Samworth Enterprise Academy, is a school with Academy status located in Leicester, England. It is a co-educational school for 3-16 year olds that specialises in Food, Business and Enterprise. The school was created on the site of the Mary Linwood Comprehensive School which closed in 1997.

The school became part of the Tudor Grange Academies Trust in January 2016. Concerns and criticism Inadequate rating and special measures In September 2014, after poor GCSE results, the original head Pat Dubas resigned, and a new interim head was appointed. An Ofsted report in June 2015, classified the school as "inadequate in almost all areas" and placing it into special measures. The school was rated "inadequate" again in October 2018. Alleged malpractice In July 2016, a whistleblower alleged that the members of staff had been engaging in malpractice by helping students during GCSE examinations and having access to examination papers prior to the start of public examinations. The claims are currently being investigated by the Joint Council for Qualifications. OFSTED Inspections After a flurry of monitoring visits to confirm that the school was indeed moving in the right direction, in November 2021, OFSTED returned and carried out a full section 5 inspection finding that the school had rapidly improved in all areas to GOOD and is now categorised as a GOOD school. OFSTED noted that 'Leaders and staff build the school’s values of tolerance, unity, democracy, opportunity and respect (TUDOR) into all aspects of the school’s work. Pupils say that they are safe and happy at school. They are very well cared for by staff, who are proud to work at this school.'

The interiors feature a mix of neo-classical and Italian design elements, with antique furniture, tapestries, and 19th-century European artwork, including Royal portraits and decorative pieces. The lobby is finished with marble. The reception room of the hotel features a cabinet which displays items such as military medals and evening bags. The drawing room, adjacent to the reception room, has a range of antique furniture from an ormolu chest of drawers and walnut tallboy, to Empire-era clocks and vases. Six of the bedrooms are known as "gallery rooms", which contain mezzanine sitting areas and silk-canopied four-poster beds, though the rooms are each unique with a range of different themes and designs from notable designers. Sarah Barrell of The Independent describes Gallery suite 104 as the "brown" room, furnished with "biscuit brown furry throws, dotted with chocolate cushions, heavy brocade curtains". The Deluxe rooms, measuring 30 square feet, are typically furnished with rare Italian artwork, and the original commodes and mirrors from the 19th century. Duncan notes that several of these older rooms "mix Signora Melpignano’s singular style with antiques and pictures inherited from the Sloane Hotel" but states that the newer rooms are purely Italianate. The Superior Double rooms measure 27 square feet. Services Even though San Domenico House does not have its own restaurant, it provides a room service and breakfast. Each room contains a refrigerated minibar, with non-alcoholic drinks, though alcoholic beverages can be ordered from the room service menu.

The club reformed in 1956 and used one of the Sandbach School's rugby pitches on which to play home games. Local premises near to the school playing fields were used as changing rooms and the Iron Grey, a local pub, was used as a base for after match hospitality. Old boys from Sandbach School were encouraged back to the game and the club grew from strength to strength. In 1960 the club began admitting non-old boys and in May 1961 a piece of land on Middlewich Road which backed onto Sandbach School premises was purchased and the first clubhouse was built. In the summer of 1980 Old Sandbachians moved from Middlewich Road to Bradwall Road where a new clubhouse and pitches had been developed.
