Nightingale Hospital (Marylebone)

The Nightingale Hospital is a private mental health facility in Lisson Grove, Marylebone, London. History The hospital has its origins in the "Establishment for Gentlewomen During Temporary Illness" founded at Cavendish Square in March 1850. On opening, it had 11 beds, and employed nurses as and when required. Florence Nightingale became superintendent in August 1853, a week before it moved to Harley Street, and installed hot water on all floors, and a windlass to deliver hot foods quickly from the kitchen to beds. Under her governance, it was made non-sectarian and renamed the "Institute for Gentlewomen During Illness", taking in widows and daughters of professionals, the clergy and military personnel. She left for the Crimean War the following year. The foundation stone for a new purpose-built facility in Lisson Grove was laid by the Duchess of Albany in January 1909 and the new facility was officially opened by the Princess of Wales in March 1910. The hospital was renamed the "Florence Nightingale Hospital for Gentlewomen" after Florence Nightingale's death in August 1910. The hospital did not join the National Health Service in 1948 and instead was acquired by Bupa in 1978. After becoming a mental health provider in 1987, it was acquired by Capio Group in 1999 and by Groupe Sinoue-Sarl in 2014. Performance The Care Quality Commission criticised the hospital after an inspection in January 2018 over lack of specialist substance misuse training for nurses, ligature and fire risks, medicines management, infection control and sharing learning from incidents. They found that "staff did not always know where the patients were in the hospital which was a potential risk for patients who might harm themselves or other people." Three patients at the hospital died in 2017/8: Alan MacDonald, 61, killed himself in August 2017 four days after being discharged from the hospital. He spent two weeks as an in-patient at the hospital at a cost of £20,000. This included charges of £750 a day by the private clinic AddCounsel which had referred him to the hospital for daily visits by a counsellor on top of the hospital fees. Daisy Boyd, a sculptor, 28, took an overdose of cocaine on 5 October 2017 and suffocated herself with a plastic bag. The inquest into Boyd's death was told that visitors, described as “rich, entitled people who thought they were above the law”, brought a bag of cocaine into the hospital without challenge. Shaquelle Vidal, 23, the daughter of TV comedian, Ava Vidal, hanged herself using a laptop cable on 7 April 2018. The Care Quality Commission re-inspected the hospital in 2019 when it was rated as good overall, although child and adolescent mental health wards (which are now closed) were rated as requires improvement.

Gordon Hospital

The Gordon Hospital is a 55-bed acute adult mental health hospital located in Westminster, London. It is managed by the Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust. History The hospital was founded at 278 Vauxhall Bridge Road as the Western Hospital for Fistula, Piles and other Diseases of the Rectum in 1884. In 1886 it changed its name in honour of Major-General Charles Gordon, also known as Gordon of Khartoum. During the 1930s the hospital gained an international reputation for the treatment of colon cancer. Later in that decade the building underwent extensive reconstruction and extension much of it funded by the racehorse owner, John Arthur Dewar, nephew of Lord Dewar. It closed during the Second World War but reopened in 1947 as a mental health hospital under its current name. When it joined the National Health Service, it merged with the erstwhile Westminster Hospital. Today the main entrance is on Bloomburg Street. Facilities There are three inpatient wards, Gerrard Ward, Ebury Ward and Vincent Ward, which provide care for adults undergoing assessment or treatment for mental health conditions. The hospital also has a designated "health-based place of safety" suite and an outpatients department. There was a psychiatric intensive care unit (Belgrave Ward) until 2013 when this was closed as part of service reconfigurations. 2020 Covid 19 emergency Early in the pandemic the Central and North West London NHS Trust announced the sudden closure on 24 March 2020 of the three wards at the Gordon Hospital on the grounds of safeguarding the safety of staff and patients. It is unclear whether this is an opportune permanent closure. The claim by service managers is that Westminster patients will receive a "more local service" at St Charles' Hospital in the north of the neighbouring borough of Kensington and Chelsea, several miles away. The trust have also stated that they aim for patients to be treated closer to home where possible, in line with the NHS's long-term plan for provision of care in the community rather than using inpatient beds.

Northlands Park is a park in Basildon, Essex, England. History of the park Basildon Northlands Park was created by Basildon Development Corporation (BDC) in the 1970s on the former Felmore Farm. During construction the land was landscaped with two lakes and hills. The lakes are three feet deep and cover an area of eight acres. They were made to catch floodwater from the nearby developments at Fryerns and Chalvedon. The Felmore Farm house became derelict and was demolished in the 1980s. Facilities The facilities include a cafe, walking, picnicking, fishing lakes, flower gardens, a children's playground, a skatepark and a multi-use sports area. Basildon Parkrun takes place every Saturday morning at 9am, the course is three laps of the park taking in the lakes. The park covers an area of around seventy acres.

Nowton Park

Nowton Park is a park in Nowton, Suffolk, England. It is approximately 2 miles south of the centre of Bury St Edmunds. History The park and its manor house, Nowton Court, built in 1837, was owned by the Oakes family, headed by Henry Oakes, also lord of the manor of Nowton, from 1837 until his death. Nowton Court is now a nursing home called 'Nowton Court Village'. There is an avenue of lime trees planted around 1880. It offered Nowton Court a view to the northern boundary, in spring over 100,000 daffodils bloom beneath the trees. Facilities There is an arboretum which has trees from around the globe, such as eucalyptus from Australia, Kentucky coffee trees from North America and paperbark maple from China. The Nowton Park totem pole stands almost 11m tall near the North American region. It is carved from a western red cedar tree, a species traditionally used by Native Americans. There is a bird feeding station on the edge of the wood. In the winter there is a range of woodland birds such as the blue tit, great tit, nuthatch and the great spotted woodpecker. There is a maze in the shape of a stylised oak tree, it celebrates the Oakes family who formerly owned the estate. Two thousand five hundred hornbeam trees comprise the hedge which is two metres high and over 2 miles in length. At the centre of the maze is a fastigiate oak with upright branches. There are two ponds, a meadow pond which is rich in aquatic life and the school pond which is home to moorhens, mallards and herons. Bury St Edmunds parkrun takes place in the park each Saturday morning starting and finishing at the visitor centre. References
Shakerley Mere

Shakerley Mere is a lake and recreation area near Allostock, Cheshire, England. The mere is a former sand quarry, which flooded after extraction ended in the 1960s. Roughly triangular in shape, it bounded to the east by the M6 motorway and on the other two sides by the B5081 and B5082 roads. The site is managed for recreation by Cheshire West and Chester Council. There is a small amount of heathland, a designated site of biological importance, in the southeast corner, and a circular path runs around the perimeter of the lake, a distance of 0.9 miles (1.4 km). The fishing rights are leased by Lymm Angling Club (the lake is stocked with carp, bream, roach and perch). In 2014 a small number of introduced bighead and silver carp were removed from the water.

Coal Drops Yard

Coal Drops Yard (Dépôt de Charbon, en anglais) est un complexe commercial de style architecture industrielle victorienne néo-rétro déconstructiviste de 2018, de Londres au Royaume-Uni. Histoire Cet important complexe commercial de 9 290 m² fait partie du projet de réaménagement de 2014 du quartier King's Cross Central (en) de King's Cross du nord de Londres. Il est voisin du Regent's Canal, du Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, du Granary Square (en), et à proximité des réseaux ferroviaires des gare de King's Cross et gare de Saint-Pancras. Il est conçu par l'architecte-designer anglais Thomas Heatherwick, fondateur de l'agence de design londonienne Heatherwick Studio, et inauguré le 26 octobre 2018. Thomas Heatherwick a relié les deux anciens dépôts à charbon abandonnés du patrimoine industriel londonien, en construction métallique, brique et fer forgé de l'époque victorienne, avec des toitures en ardoise en forme de rubans ondulés de style déconstructiviste, avec fronton vitré. Il a également réaménagé les anciennes arcades en balcon en espace piéton commercial d'une cinquantaine de boutiques, bars, restaurants et galeries d'art. Ces deux anciens hangars à charbon des années 1850 ont été initialement construit pour réceptionner des wagons de charbon des gare de King's Cross et gare de Saint-Pancras voisines, et les transborder sur des péniches narrowboats du Regent's Canal et sur des charrettes à chevaux, a raison de 8 millions de tonnes annuelles, pour alimenter Londres en chauffage, et en éclairage (par conversion en gaz de houille, gaz d'éclairage et gaz de ville dans l'usine à gaz voisine). Ce site industriel comprend alors ces hangars à charbon, des bureaux de la compagnie charbonnière, des viaducs et arches de voie ferrée, des écuries à chevaux, et des quais de déchargement de charbon. L'arrivée de l'électricité s'impose à Londres à partir des années 1880 et les hangars à charbon sont alors abandonnés, et reconvertis en entrepôts (ravagé par un incendie en 1985) et salle de concert boîte de nuit « Bagley's (en) » qui ferme ses portes en janvier 2008.

All Saints' Hospital, Winson Green

All Saints' Hospital was a mental health hospital and facility in Winson Green, Birmingham, England. History All Saints' Hospital was founded in 1847 by Mayor Robert Martineau. It was designed by Daniel Rowlinson Hill (who also designed HM Prison Birmingham) and opened as the Birmingham City Asylum in June 1850. The asylum was run by the Birmingham Lunatic Asylum Committee from 1845 to 1948. The building was repeatedly enlarged in the 1870s to help contain the growing number of pauper inmates, due to the expansion of Birmingham. Annexes were built at the Leveretts in Handsworth in 1900 and at Glenthorne in Erdington in 1902. The facility became Birmingham City Asylum in the early 20th century. It joined the National Health Service as Birmingham Mental Hospital in 1949. Following the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and eventually closed on 12 April 2000. Although the accommodation blocks have been demolished, the main building now forms offices for HM Prison Birmingham. The other hospital buildings were demolished and the main building is positioned outside the large perimeter walls of the prison. References
Peterloo Memorial

The Peterloo Memorial is a memorial in Manchester, England, commemorating the Peterloo Massacre. It is sited close to the site of the massacre and was unveiled on 14 August 2019. Description The Peterloo Memorial Campaign Group had been lobbying for a fitting memorial to the Peterloo Massacre for over ten years. In 2019, shortly before the 200th anniversary of the massacre, Manchester City Council "quietly unveiled" a new £1 million memorial by the artist Jeremy Deller. Designs for the memorial by Deller were first unveiled in November 2018. The 1.8-metre-high and 11.6 metres wide memorial features 11 concentric steps engraved, sculpted from polished and inlaid British stone and carved with the names 18 of the victims and the places from which they came. The material not visible from the ground is reproduced at ground level, and there is a floor plaque. The stone used includes "granites, sandstones, slates, and marbles from all regions of the UK and potentially further afield – places that would have been part of the British Empire in 1819". These include: Broughton Moor slate; Welsh Cwt-y-Bugail slate; Peak Moor sandstone; Cove red sandstone; DeLank granite; St Bees red sandstone; and Scottish dolerite. Response The memorial was inaugurated at a large public gathering on 16 August 2019, widely reported in the press, covered extensively on regional TV and radio, and marked by a special edition of the Manchester Evening News. It has since become widely appreciated and visited, and the Peterloo Memorial Campaign site states that it is 'Proud to have campaigned for a respectful, informative and permanent Peterloo Memorial at the heart of Manchester'. The lack of disabled access to the monument has been criticised. While the structure met the official standards for access, it was also interpreted by some as a 'speaking platform' made universally inaccessible by its stepped design. The city council explored modification options to try and rectify this, but it has proven very difficult to design a wheelchair ramp that does not damage or block substantial parts of the inscriptions.

St Alban's Church, Acton Green

St Alban's Church, Acton Green, also called St Alban the Martyr, is a church on South Parade, Acton Green in Chiswick, west London, designed by Edward Monson Jr. and opened in 1888. History The church was designed by Edward Monson Jr. in a neo-Gothic style, and is built of red brick with stone dressings; it has a steeply pitched slate roof and no tower or belfry. The foundation stone was laid on 18 October 1887 and the church was opened in 1888. It is now the main landmark of the Acton Green Conservation Area. It is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as a "large raw red basilica on the edge of the green", though the conservation area character appraisal by Ealing Council notes "its imposing architecture", and that "The view of the church from the Green is unfortunately obscured by the temporary church hall and club buildings (the latter in green painted corrugated iron)." The church building is Grade II listed. The nearby vicarage uses the same red brick and stone window surrounds and mullions. Three of the stained glass windows are by Frederick Hamilton Jackson, including Jesus and the Doctors, dedicated by Blanche Rose Harper in 1888. The green corrugated iron building to the south of the church seems to be a "tin tabernacle", placed there for use in mission services run by All Saints, South Acton until 1938. Also south of the church is "The Caterpillar" Montessori nursery school. On 15 January 1909, The Chiswick Times reported that Miss Gladys Cowper of Fairlawn Court, Acton Green, and Captain Guy Maxwell Shipway, son of Colonel Shipway of Grove House, Chiswick, were married in the church. The theologian and author W. O. E. Oesterley was vicar in the 1920s. The congregation declined and in 2007 the church was closed. In 2011, developers applied for permission to convert the church into 10 flats and a detached house. The application was opposed, and in 2013 a public inquiry was held. The planning inspector rejected the application on the grounds that a local community facility for which there was a continued demand would be lost. The church returned to active use in 2014 as part of the Christ Church W4 ministry alongside Christ Church, Turnham Green, after standing empty for seven years. The building was restored with solar panels on the roof, a new heating system, nest boxes for swifts, and new kitchen and toilets. On 4 October 2016 the Bishop of London, Richard Chartres, rededicated the renovated church. References
Ticehurst House Hospital

Ticehurst House Hospital was a mental health facility. It opened in 1792 and was owned and run by five generations of members of the Newington family until 1970. In 2000, the hospital name changed from Ticehurst House Hospital to The Priory Ticehurst House when it became part of the Priory Group. Early years Samuel Newington opened a small hospital in Ticehurst, Sussex, in 1792. At first, it housed around twenty patients and admitted both poor and wealthy patients. In 1812, Charles Newington built himself a house in the grounds. Two of his sons, Charles and Jesse, were surgeons and worked in and later ran the asylum when their father died. They employed demobilised Battle of Waterloo veterans to landscape the area surrounding the buildings. A prospectus for the asylum was produced to show off its facilities in 1830. From 1838, only private patients were admitted and patients came from increasingly privileged backgrounds over time; by the 1850s they were 'exceptionally wealthy'. By the 1870s, Ticehurst was considered one of the most successful and well-regarded private asylums, and by 1900 the site covered over 125 hectares. During the 1870s, Herman Charles Merivale was a resident of Ticehurst House Hospital. He wrote of his experiences there in a book called My Experiences in a Lunatic Asylum by a Sane Person. Priory Hospital Ticehurst Today, the hospital offers day care, outpatient, and residential treatment. Inspections by the Care Quality Commission in September 2019 and December 2020 rated its child and adolescent wards 'inadequate.' In 2021, it began closing them, citing 'challenges in recruiting specialist permanent staff.' Legacy of the former private hospital The Ticehurst records are unusually well-preserved; many private asylum archives have been lost, but the archive of Ticehurst covers the dates 1787-1975. An analysis of records of more than 600 Ticehurst patients found that more than 80% of patients appeared to have symptoms that would be indicative of modern psychiatric illnesses, particularly schizophrenia and manic-depressive disorder. Another analysis argued that these conditions therefore have robust validity over time.

Ticehurst House Hospital

Le Ticehurst House Hospital est un établissement de santé mentale. Il ouvre ses portes en 1792 et est détenu et géré par cinq générations de membres de la famille Newington jusqu'en 1970. En 2000, le nom de l'hôpital est passé de Ticehurst House Hospital à The Priory Ticehurst House lorsqu'il rejoint le groupe Priory. Premières années Samuel Newington ouvre un petit hôpital à Ticehurst, dans le Sussex, en 1792. Au début, il héberge une vingtaine de patients et accueille aussi bien des patients pauvres que riches. En 1812, Charles Newington se construit une maison sur le terrain. Deux de ses fils, Charles et Jesse, deviennent chirurgiens et travaillent puis dirigent l'asile à la mort de leur père. Ils emploient des vétérans démobilisés de la bataille de Waterloo pour aménager la zone entourant les bâtiments. Un prospectus pour l'asile est produit pour montrer ses installations en 1830. À partir de 1838, seuls les patients privés sont admis et les patients viennent de milieux de plus en plus privilégiés au fil du temps ; dans les années 1850, ils sont « exceptionnellement riches ». Dans les années 1870, Ticehurst est considéré comme l'un des asiles privés les plus prospères et les plus appréciés et, en 1900, le site couvre plus de 125 hectares. Dans les années 1870, Herman Charles Merivale réside à Ticehurst. Il écrit sur ses expériences là-bas dans un livre intitulé My Experiences in a Lunatic Asylum by a Sane Person. Priory Hospital Ticehurst Aujourd'hui, l'hôpital propose des soins de jour, des soins ambulatoires et des soins résidentiels. Héritage de l'ancien hôpital privé Les archives de Ticehurst sont exceptionnellement bien conservées ; de nombreuses archives privées d'asile sont généralement perdues, mais les archives de Ticehurst couvrent les périodes allant de 1787 à 1975. Une analyse des dossiers de plus de 600 patients de Ticehurst révèle que plus de 80 % des patients présentent des symptômes révélateurs de maladies psychiatriques modernes, en particulier la schizophrénie et le trouble bipolaire. Une autre analyse fait valoir que ces conditions ont une existence validée de façon robuste dans le temps.
