Tunstall Hills

Tunstall Hills is an area of open space in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England. It is a Local Nature Reserve and Tunstall Hills And Ryhope Cutting has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest both for its geological and biological importance. The area consists of Green Hill and Rocky Hill and surrounding land. Historically these hills have been also named the Maidens Paps because of their shape. Flora Gentle slopes on the Maiden Paps support species-rich Magnesian Limestone grassland dominated by upright brome Bromus erectus, blue moor-grass Sesleria albicans, crested hair-grass Koeleria macrantha, red fescue Festuca rubra, glaucous sedge Carex flacca and herbs such as common rock-rose Helianthemum nummularia, salad burnet Sanguisorba minor, fairy flax Linum catharticum, wild thyme Thymus praecox, pignut Conopodium majus, small scabious Scabiosa columbaria and sea plantain Plantago maritima. Of particular note is a small population of perennial flax Linum anglicum, which occurs here towards the northern limit of its distribution range in Great Britain, and locally uncommon plants such as frog orchid Coeloglossum viride, autumn gentian Gentianella amarella, purple milk-vetch Astragalus danicus and thrift Armeria maritima. Steep south-facing slopes above the reclaimed railway line support a more open, herb-rich grassland characterised by common quaking-grass Briza media, blue moorgrass, crested hair-grass and red fescue with yarrow Achillea millefolium, hairy violet Viola hirta, hoary ragwort Senecio erucifolius, and fragrant orchid Gymnadenia conopsea. Other uncommon plants include pale St. John's-wort Hypericum montanum, lesser meadow-rue Thalictrum minus, and black bryony Tamus communis. Land ownership All land within Tunstall Hills and Ryhope Cutting SSSI is owned by the local authority.

Turf Tavern

The Turf Tavern is a pub in central Oxford, England. It first opened around the end of 18th century as a public house named The Spotted Cow. The pub is frequented primarily by students. It is located at the end of a narrow winding alley, St Helens Passage (originally Hell Passage), between Holywell Street and New College Lane, near the Bridge of Sighs. Running along one side of the pub is one of the remaining sections of the old Oxford city wall. Due to the illegal activities of many of its original patrons, the Turf sprang up in an area just outside the city wall in order to escape the jurisdiction of the governing bodies of the local colleges. Historical significance The Turf Tavern incorrectly advertises itself as the site where future Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke set a Guinness Record for consuming a yard glass of ale in 1963. As a result the pub has become the site of pilgrimage for Australian tourists and students, with politicians unsuccessfully advocating for a heritage plaque to recognize its historical significance. A historian has shown that the pub is not connected to the record set by Hawke, with Hawke himself offering two possible alternate locations where he supposedly set a beer record in 1954 or 1955. Numerous journalists have also reported that the Turf Tavern is not the location where Hawke set his record. Other public figures who are said to have dined or drunk at the tavern include Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Blair, CS Lewis, Stephen Hawking and Margaret Thatcher. It also served as a hangout for the cast and crew of the Harry Potter movies while the nearby colleges were used as locations throughout the filming of the series. The Turf Tavern also claims to be the location where future American president Bill Clinton, while a student at University College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, famously smoked "but did not inhale" marijuana. It was also featured in the ITV TV Series Inspector Morse aired between 1987 and 2000. References External links Media related to Turf Tavern, Oxford at Wikimedia Commons Official website
Turf Tavern

Turf Tavern är en pub i centrala Oxford i England. Den öppnade först runt slutet av 1700-talet som en pub vid namn The Spotted Cow. Puben besöks främst av studenter. Den ligger i slutet av en smal, slingrande gränd, St Helens Passage (ursprungligen Hell Passage), mellan Holywell Street och New College Lane, nära Suckarnas bro. Längs ena sidan av puben löper en av de kvarvarande sektionerna av den gamla stadsmuren i Oxford. På grund av de olagliga aktiviteterna hos många av dess ursprungliga ägare förlades Turf Tavern i ett område strax utanför stadsmuren för att undkomma de lokala collegens styrande jurisdiktion. Historisk betydelse Turf Tavern marknadsför felaktigt som platsen där den blivande australiske premiärministern Bob Hawke satte Guinnessrekord i att konsumera ett Yard Glass med öl (1,4 l) 1963. Som ett resultat har puben blivit en pilgrimsplats för australiska turister och studenter, där politiker utan framgång har förespråkat en kulturminnesplakett för att uppmärksamma dess historiska betydelse. En historiker har visat att puben inte är kopplad till rekordet som Hawke satte, och Hawke själv nämner två möjliga alternativa platser där han påstås ha satt ett ölrekord 1954 eller 1955. Många journalister har också rapporterat att Turf Tavern inte är platsen där Hawke satte sitt rekord. Andra offentliga personer som sägs ha ätit eller druckit på Turf Tavern inkluderar Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Blair, CS Lewis, Stephen Hawking och Margaret Thatcher. Den fungerade också som samlingsplats för skådespelare och team från Harry Potter-filmerna medan de närliggande college användes som inspelningsplatser under hela inspelningstiden. Turf Tavern hävdar också att det var platsen där den blivande amerikanske presidenten Bill Clinton, som student vid University College, Oxford som Rhodesstipendiat, berömt rökte marijuana "men inte inhalerade" den. Den förekom också i ITV:s TV-serie Kommissarie Morse som sändes mellan 1987 och 2000.

Tutbury Castle

Tutbury Castle er en en ruin af en middelalderfæstning i Tutbury i Staffordshire i England. Det er et Scheduled Ancient Monument. Fæstningen blev opført som et motte-and-bailey-anlæg efter den normanniske erobring af England, og der var hovedkvarter for Henry de Ferrers, der døde i år 1100. I 1264 blev borgen "næsten ødelagt" af Edvard 1. af England efter Robert de Ferrers' oprør mod kongen. I 1269 fik Edmund Crouchback jorden efter endnu et oprør, og det har siden været en del af Hertugdømmet Lancaster, der også ejer det i dag. I storhedstiden boede Eleonora af Aquitanien her. Marie Stuart har været fængslet på slottet.

Tuthill Quarry

Tuthill Quarry is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the County Durham district of north-east County Durham, England. It lies just over 1 km east of the village of Haswell. The site occupies part of a disused quarry, in which have developed areas of primary and secondary magnesian limestone grassland. Such grassland is largely confined to County Durham and increasingly scarce even there. The grasslands at Tuthill Quarry are typical of the type, being characterised by the presence of blue moor-grass, Sesleria albicans, and small scabious, Scabiosa columbaria, but a number of less common species are also present, including common butterwort, Pinguicula vulgaris, and adder's-tongue fern, Ophioglossum vulgatum. There is a small patch of the nationally scarce bird's-eye primrose, Primula farinosa, and one of the few records from lowland Durham of lesser clubmoss, Selaginella selaginoides, is from this site.

Twickenham School

Twickenham School, is a co-educational secondary school located in Whitton, in the London Borough of Richmond, south-west London. It has two predecessor schools: Twickenham Academy and before that Whitton School. Twickenham School is an academy operated by the Bourne Trust, which operates several other schools, including nearby Hampton High and Teddington School. Performance As with other schools, latest exam results and related data are published in the Department for Education's national tables. History The first school to be built on the site of Twickenham School was named Whitton School. It was established in 1959, to cater for boys from the former Kneller School and girls from Stanley Road School. By 2001, the school buildings at Whitton, and other local schools, were considered inadequate for a modern education system. In 2003, plans were put forward for it to be replaced by a Catholic Secondary School, with a new community school to be built on the site of Heathfield School, but these were not progressed. The school was considered for rebuilding under the national BSF programme in 2007, but only one school in the borough could be selected and Teddington School was chosen instead. Whitton School was later re-built as part of the next Government's sponsored academies programme, becoming Twickenham Academy in 2010, under the governance of the Learning Schools Trust. Twickenham Academy was closed at the end of October 2016 and was replaced by Twickenham School on the first day of November 2016, under the management of Richmond West Schools Trust. It moved to the larger Bourne Trust in September 2021.

Twinings Museum

The Twinings Museum is a small museum adjacent to the Twinings shop at 216 Strand, in London, England, detailing the history of the Twinings tea company. History Thomas Twining (1675–1741) moved with his family from Gloucester to London in 1684, when he was nine years old. After serving an apprenticeship as a weaver in the City of London, Twining worked for the East India Company merchant Thomas D'Aeth, and became a tea merchant. Twining purchased Tom's Coffee Shop, in Devereux Court, off the Strand, in 1706. He subsequently used the premises to sell tea to customers, in addition to the more common coffee, and to sell dry tea to both customers and other nearby coffee shops, such as the Grecian Coffee House – now the site of The Devereux public house. Tea was then an expensive luxury product. Twining's business was quickly successful, which enabled Twining to expand into adjacent premises on the Strand. By 1717, Twining was trading at 216 Strand, at the sign of the Golden Lyon, where the business remains. The classical door case is surmounted by a pediment with a statue of a golden lion, and two figures of Chinese men who signify the origin of the beverage. The museum is adjacent to the shop, in the historic premises at 216 Strand. The Twinings tea business is now owned by Associated British Foods. Exhibits The Twinings Museum contains historical artifacts and documents associated with the history of the Twinings company. The museum also displays vintage tea caddies, examples of Twinings packaging, advertisements, and other tea memorabilia and ephemera. In addition to this, the museum explains the history of the Twinings family. Twinings received a royal warrant from Queen Victoria in 1837. The museum displays a copy of the royal warrant for providing Twinings to British royalty.

Twizell Castle

Twizell Castle (auch Twizel Castle) ist eine Ruine in einer Biegung des Till im Tillmouth Park, etwa 16 Kilometer südwestlich von Berwick-upon-Tweed in der englischen Grafschaft Northumberland. Das nie fertiggestellte Gebäude aus dem 18. Jahrhundert auf Basis eines mittelalterlichen Wohnturms gilt als Scheduled Monument und English Heritage hat es als historisches Bauwerk II*. Grades gelistet. Unterhalb der Ruine befindet sich die mittelalterliche Twizell Bridge über den Fluss. Das Gelände ist von einem Fußweg, der von der Straße aus an der Burgruine vorbeiführt, zu sehen. Im Garten der Ruine findet man Erdwerke des einstigen mittelalterlichen Dorfes Twizell. Die Burg Ein mittelalterlicher Wohnturm stand 1415 auf dem Gelände und wurde von Sir John Heron gehalten. Er wurde 1496 von der schottischen Armee unter Führung von König Jakob IV. und Perkin Warbeck zerstört. Jakob IV. kehrte am 24. August 1513 auf seinem Weg zur Belagerung von Norham Castle zurück und hielt einen Rats- oder Parlamentssitzung in „Twesil“ oder „Twesilhaugh“ ab. Das Anwesen wurde um 1520 von den Herons an ein Mitglied der Familie Selby verkauft. Ein Bericht von 1561 beschreibt nur Überreste eines Wohnturms und eine Barmkin (dt.: Einfriedung). Von diesen mittelalterlichen Gebäuden sind nur noch vermauerte Fenster, ein gefaster Eingang und die ursprünglichen, nordöstlichen Ecksteine erhalten. 1685 kaufte Sir Francis Blake († 1718) das Anwesen für £ 1944 und eine jährliche Pacht von £ 100 von der Witwe Selby. Die Familie Blake lebte dort bis 1738 und zog dann in die nahegelegene Tillmouth Hall um. Ab etwa 1770 arbeitete Sir Francis Blake († 1780) an der Neuschaffung der Burg als neugotisches Landhaus nach Plänen den Architekten James Nesbit aus Kelso. Das neue Gebäude sollte fünf Stockwerke hoch werden, aber trotz 40 Jahren Bauzeit wurde dieses Projekt nie fertig. Als die Blakes 1882 ein neues Landhaus im Tillmouth Park bauen ließen, wurde ein großer Teil des unfertigen Twizell Castle abgerissen und die Bausteine wurden für den neuen Bau verwendet. Heute ist die noch zwei Stockwerke hohe Ruine eine Folly. Sie hat einen rechteckigen Grundriss mit Rundtürmen an den Ecken und zwei Flügeln auf der Nordseite. Die Kellerräume im Hauptblock sind aus Stein und mit Ziegelgewölben als Vorkehrung gegen Brände verkleidet. Das Anwesen ist in schlechtem Erhaltungszustand und wurde daher 2008 offiziell in das Heritage-at-Risk-Register von English Heritage aufgenommen. Einzelnachweise Quellen und Weblinks Twizell Castle.

Twizell Castle

Twizell Castle (also spelt Twizel) is a Grade II* listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument which stands on a bend of the River Till at Tillmouth Park, Northumberland, northern England. Below it, the medieval Twizell Bridge spans the river. It is located 10 miles (16 km) south-west of Berwick Upon Tweed. The site is visible from a public footpath, which passes the castle from the road. The gardens of the castle contain the earthwork remains of the deserted medieval village of Twizell, whilst the massive ruin presents the remains of an 18th-century castle which was never completed. The Castle A medieval tower house which once stood on the site was, in 1415, held by Sir John Heron. This was destroyed by a Scottish army in 1496 commanded by James IV of Scotland and Perkin Warbeck. James IV returned on 24 August 1513 on his way to besiege Norham Castle, and held a council or parliament at "Twesil" or "Twesilhaugh." The estate was sold by the Herons circa 1520 to a member of the Selby family. A survey in 1561 reported only the remnants of a tower house and a barmkin. John Selby seems to have repaired the buildings, and an inventory was made of the furnishings on his death in 1595 mentioning a new chamber, a gallery, and chambers in the tower. Of the medieval structure, blocked windows, a chamfered doorway and the original north-east angle quoins are all that remains visible now. In 1685 Sir Francis Blake (d. 1718) purchased the estate from the widow Selby for £1,944, plus an annuity of £100, and the Blake family lived on the estate until 1738 when they moved to nearby Tillmouth Hall. From about 1770, Sir Francis Blake (d. 1780) worked on the recreation of the castle as a Gothic Revival mansion, designed by architect James Nesbit of Kelso to be five levels tall. Despite some forty years of work, the project was never completed. When in 1882, the Blakes built a new mansion at Tillmouth Park much of the incomplete Twizell Castle was demolished and the stone used in the new construction or sold. The house is now a two-storey folly. Rectangular in plan, with circular towers on the angles and two wings on the north side, the basement rooms in the main block are stone and brick-vaulted as a precaution against fire. The property is in poor order and is officially listed as of 2008 on the English Heritage Heritage at Risk Register. References Historic England. "Details from listed building database (1042168)".

Twizell Castle

Twizell Castle of Twizel Castle is een ruïne en beschermd monument in het noorden van het Engelse graafschap Northumberland, gelegen op de noordelijke oever van de Till in de civil parish Cornhill-on-Tweed. Het was een landhuis dat in de achttiende eeuw op de locatie van een ouder kasteel gebouwd werd in opdracht van Sir Francis Blake of Twizell Castle, de eerste baronet van het geslacht van Twizell Castle, die een grootgrondbezitter uit de streek was. Dit kasteel is nooit geheel afgewerkt. De architect was James Nesbit uit Kelso. Twizell Castle bestaat uit een blok van 28,4 bij 9,6 meter in georgiaanse, neogotische stijl met twee verdiepingen. Aan beide zuidelijke uiteinden van het blok bevinden zich ronde torentjes; ook in de noordelijke muur steken twee torentjes uit. De hoge ramen boden uitzicht over de rivier. De muren zijn 1,7 meter dik en in de kamers zijn haarden aangebracht. De bovenverdieping is niet bereikbaar, doordat de trap niet meer bestaat. De buitenmuren van Twizell Castle zijn versierd met ornamentele motieven. In 1415 stond hier een kasteel waarin ene Sir John Heron woonde. Dit kasteel werd door de Schotten verwoest in 1496 en vervolgens verlaten. Volgens een inventaris uit 1561 bleef van het oude kasteel nog één hoek of één vierde over, alsook delen van de barbacane. Een dichtgemetseld raampje in de noordelijke muur is waarschijnlijk nog een overblijfsel van het oude kasteel. Francis Blake, die in het oude Twizell Castle was opgegroeid, en zijn zoon werkten ongeveer veertig jaar aan het nieuwe kasteel. Klaarblijkelijk werd er in 1813 nog steeds aan gebouwd, maar uiteindelijk werd het project achterwege gelaten. De ruïne is verweerd en overwoekerd. Eromheen is een omheining aangebracht. Er staan waarschuwingsborden die het beklimmen van de muren verbieden.
