Salt Pans, Portland

The Salt Pans are two salt pans on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. Both pans sit next to one another, and are situated on the coastline of East Weares, the east side of Portland. The pans sit directly below the Young Offenders Institution HM Prison Portland, and are found close to various old historic relics such as the East Weare Rifle Range, Folly Pier, King's Pier and the remains of the Folly Pier Waterworks. The East Weares area, including the Salt Pans, has been labelled a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), largely due to the scrub and wildlife being of high nature conservation value. History Situated along the eastern coastline of East Weares, the two salt pans have existed for many centuries. The origins of the pans remain uncertain, however the limited evidence recorded suggest they are likely to be medieval. During Saxon and Norman times the pans were one of two places for the thriving salt production industry on Portland. The other was the tidal lagoon known as The Mere, which was situated at the north of the island. The two pans at East Weares were formed by the digging of Kimmeridge clay. The pans would flood at high Spring Tides and once they dried out through the evaporation of the seawater, the encrusted salt would be removed from the rocks. Although the pans have remained unused for centuries, both remain completely intact and undisturbed. Access The salt pans can be reached via an unofficial pathway veering off the official coastal path of the East Weares area. A similar pathway further north links to the remains of the Folly Pier Waterworks. Sitting on the coastline, the pans link directly to the sea and thus can be reached via the coastline edge as well. The pans can also be viewed from the clifftops of Grove Point. References

Seale-Hayne College

Seale-Hayne College was an agricultural college in Devon, England, which operated from 1919 to 2005. It was the only agricultural college in the United Kingdom whose buildings were purpose designed and built. It was located 3 miles from Newton Abbot. The college was established in accordance with the will of Charles Seale Hayne (1833–1903), a Liberal politician who was a Devon land-owner. The college was built between 1912 and 1914, but its opening was delayed by the start of the First World War. During the war it served as a training centre for Land Girls, and in 1918 and 1919 it operated as a military neurasthenic hospital for the treatment of soldiers suffering from shell shock. The first students arrived in 1920. During the Second World War the college was used for the training of the second Women's Land Army. After the war the college was significantly expanded, and by 1986 there were over 1,000 students. In 1989 the college merged with Plymouth Polytechnic to form the Seale-Hayne Faculty of Agriculture, Food & Land Use, Polytechnic South West, and Polytechnic South West became the University of Plymouth in 1992. In 2005 the university closed the college, and staff and students were transferred to Plymouth. Until 31 January 2019 the Seale-Hayne site was used by Dame Hannah Rogers Trust, which provided education, therapy, care and respite for children and young people with profound physical disabilities as well as a centre to hold events to raise funds for the Dame Hannah Rogers School in Ivybridge. Notable former pupils of the college, known as "Seale-Haynians", include: T C Ivens (1921–1988), orchid grower, fly fisherman and author. Richard Ashworth (born 1947), dairy farmer and former Member of the European Parliament (MEP). Adam Henson (born 1966), English farmer, author and television presenter.

St Catherine of Siena Church, Birmingham

St Catherine of Siena Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church situated on Bristol Street in Birmingham, in the Archdiocese of Birmingham. Founded in 1874, its parish church was demolished and replaced in 1964. It was run by the Missionary Society of St. Columban from 2005 to 2013. History Horse Fair With the Roman Catholic population in Birmingham increasing in the 19th century, a Catholic school was built on Windmill Street in 1869 to provide an education for the new families in the area. Later, a new church had to be built to accommodate their needs. So on 30 April 1874, the foundation stone for a new Gothic revival church, St Catherine of Siena's, was laid in the Horse Fair part of the city by Bishop William Ullathorne of Birmingham. He also presided at the opening ceremony of the church on 28 September 1875. Originally, only the nave and sanctuary was built. By October 1893, the chancel, lady chapel and sacristy were ready and by 1909 the tower was completed. By 1918 the church was free of debt and consecrated in June that year. It was located where the Holloway Circus roundabout is situated on Bristol Street, Birmingham. Bristol Street On 1 June 1964, the church in Horse Fair was de-consecrated by Archbishop Francis Grimshaw of Birmingham, as the building was bought by the local council under a compulsory purchase order so that it could be demolished and a road system could be made in the area. This was part of the Inner Ring Road project. As well as the church, the surrounding old terraced housing was also demolished and replaced with council flats. While a new church was being built, Mass was held in the nearby school. On 20 December 1964, the new church was opened. It is a circular domed building, with the altar in the centre of the church, making it compliant with the decrees of the Second Vatican Council. It was built on the corner of Irving Street and is made of brick and concrete. Inside the church, the Stations of the Cross are a memento from the old building. Present From 2005, the church was administered by the Columban missionaries. In 2013, the Archdiocese of Birmingham again assumed administration of the parish. Next door to the church is St Catherine of Siena Catholic Primary School, which has a close relationship with the church; preparing children for the sacraments of reconciliation, communion, and confirmation. The parish hosts a Justice and Peace group and plays a role in the local Citizens UK organisation in Birmingham. Next to the church is the presbytery which used to host the parish social centre. However, it has recently been used for a project involving the rehabilitation of young offenders. Exterior References External links St Catherine of Siena Parish site

St Francis's Church, Salisbury

St Francis Church, Salisbury is an evangelical, charismatic, Church of England parish church in the northern suburbs of Salisbury, Wiltshire, England, consecrated in 1940. History A wooden ex-Army hut was used for worship from 1930, to serve the new residential area to the north of the city. By 1932, although the area was still part of Stratford-sub-Castle parish, a curate had been assigned to it. An ecclesiastical district was created in 1937 from parts of the parishes of Stratford-sub-Castle and St Mark, and a vicar was instituted. A site was found nearby on Castle Road (the A345) for a permanent church: the foundation stone was laid in January 1939, and the church was consecrated in 1940. The building is in a 20th-century style, having a wide nave with passage aisles and meeting rooms, and an apsidal Lady Chapel behind the sanctuary, instead of a chancel. The tall nave windows have shaped heads. On the south side of the church is a tower, 70 feet (21 m) high. The building was designed by the architect Robert Potter. It is structurally concrete with brick cladding and infill, and artificial stone surrounds to the doors and windows. The roofs are of reinforced concrete covered with asphalt. The building was designated as Grade II listed in 1990. There was a major renovation in 2006. A single-storey flat-roofed extension, providing a new entrance, was added on the south side in 2017–2018. Nikolaus Pevsner in the Buildings of England series notes that the building's details are similar to the work of Swedish architect Ragnar Östberg, and calls the white interior "quite impressive". Julian Orbach's updating of Pevsner's work compares the red brick to the power stations designed by Giles Gilbert Scott. At first the church had no bells. One source states that by 1960 the bells of St Giles' in the evacuated village of Imber had been acquired, although another states that four of those had been sold for scrap and the fifth sent to Edington after they were removed from Imber in the 1950s. The parish registers for christenings from 1930 and marriages from 1940, other than those in current use, are held in the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre. Worship and activities The church is affiliated to the Evangelical Alliance and the evangelical New Wine organisation. Services are designed to appeal to families and young people, and in 2013 the separate church hall was reconfigured as a community facility which also houses a pre-school.
