Crazywell Pool

La Crazywell Pool o Crazy Well Pool è un grande stagno situato a 3 km più a sud di Princetown a breve distanza dal sentiero che da Burrator conduce a Whiteworks sulla riva sinistra di Dartmoor, nel Devon, in Inghilterra. Lo stagno è lungo circa 100 metri ed ha una superficie di 3500 m². Lo stagno sorse probabilmente con gli scavi minerari compiuti nell'area, e ancora oggi la presenza di miniere abbandonate nell'area supporta tale tesi. La vallata (Newleycombe Lake) è stata pesantemente mutata nei secoli dalle opere minerarie dell'uomo con passaggi d'acqua sotterranei. Presso lo stagno si trova la Crazywell Cross, un'antica croce in pietra che un tempo definiva il percorso tra l'Abbazia di Buckfast e l'Abbazia di Tavistock. Nel 1998, Nathaniel Burton, una sedicenne recluta dei Royal Marines morì annegato nel Crazywell Pool mentre prendeva parte a degli esercizi cercando di attraversare lo stagno ghiacciato. Leggende Nell'area di Dartmoor non esistono laghi naturali, motivo per cui probabilmente Crazywell Pool ha attirato più di una leggenda locale. Secondo alcuni esso era senza fondo e i parrocchiani di Walkhampton (o Sheepstor) presero le corde delle campane della locale chiesa e le legarono insieme ma ancora non riuscirono a toccare il fondo del lago. Questa leggenda venne sfatata nell'estate del 1844 quando lo stagno venne quasi completamente disseccato dalla Plymouth Dock Water Company per implementare le riserve d'acqua di Devonport Leat. In realtà in quell'occasione si è potuta misurare la reale profondità del lago che è di 4,9 metri. Crazywell Pool è soggetto a ulteriori superstizioni locali. Si diceva infatti che il livello dell'acqua si alzasse e si abbassasse a seconda della marea, e che al crepuscolo le acque sussurrassero il nome del prossimo parroco a morire al punto che le loro facce potessero vedersi riflettere nelle acque la sera del solstizio d'estate. Lo stagno si diceva inoltre infestato sin dal medioevo dalla strega di Sheepstor. La leggenda dice che consigliò malamente Piers Gaveston, proprietario della Foresta di Dartmoor dal 1308 e che qui si nascondeva dopo essere stato bandito dalla corte reale, dicendogli di poter tornare a corte perché "il suo umile capo sarebbe giunto molto in alto". In realtà egli venne catturato dai nemici del re, decapitato, e la sua testa posta sulla torre più alta, proprio come predetto dalla strega.

Crazywell Pool

Crazywell Pool of Crazy Well Pool, ook bekend als Clazywell, Classenwell of Classiwell Pool is een klein meer, een poel in het nationale park Dartmoor, in Engeland. Het is bij het plaatsje Princetown. Het meer is ongeveer 100 meter lang en heeft een oppervlakte van ongeveer 3.500 vierkante meter. De poel zou het resultaat van uitgravingen zijn door de tinmijnbouwers en is ofwel een ondergelopen mijnschacht of een waterbekken. Deze visie wordt ondersteund door tinwerken heuvelafwaarts van de poel. Het dal van de beek Newleycombe Lake is sterk bewerkt, waarbij er erlangs veel mijnwerken zijn achtergebleven. Het waterpeil is relatief stabiel en wordt grotendeels door een verborgen bron en door ondergronds stromend water bepaald. De poel ligt op de lijn van kruizen, die het pad vanaf de abdij Buckfast Abbey in Buckfastleigh naar het klooster van Tavistock markeren. Er bevinden zich geen natuurlijke meren in de Dartmoor, wat een van de redenen kan zijn waarom er rond Crazywell Pool veel lokale legenden zijn ontstaan. Ooit werd gedacht dat het bodemloos was. Parochianen zouden eens hebben geprobeerd om met behulp van de touwen van de klok van de parochiekerk de diepte te peilen, waarbij ze zelfs nadat ze de touwen aan elkaar hadden geknoopt niet in staat waren om de bodem te raken. In werkelijkheid is het water aan westzijde ongeveer 5 meter diep en aan de oostzijde nog ondieper. Er bestaat over Crazywell Pool ook bijgeloof: Het waterpeil zou volgens sommigen met de getijden zakken en stijgen.

Aldeburgh Cinema

Aldeburgh Cinema is one of the oldest, continuously running cinema houses in the United Kingdom. It is located in the town of Aldeburgh, Suffolk. It has hosted many cinematic and performing arts events, including live theatre, operas, art exhibitions and ballet transmissions from the National Theatre, New York's Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera House, the National Gallery, the British Museum and Moscow's Bolshoi Ballet. Aldeburgh Cinema is the permanent home of the Aldeburgh Documentary Festival, run annually in November. History Aldeburgh Cinema was founded in 1919 and has screened films regularly since then. The auditorium was built onto the back of a 19th-century High Street store. In the 1960s the theatre was in financial difficulties and was scheduled to close; members of the community came together to refurbish the building and to organize events in the theatre. Among these was Susan Harrison, who in 2012 was presented with a British Empire Medal for her work in promoting film and theatre arts. In 2008 Albeburgh Cinema was one of several in the UK which took part in the first live remote screening of a ballet from the National Theatre in London, using equipment provided by the government organized Digital Screen Network. The theatre hosts a cinema club which in 2012 had about 1,200 members. In 2013 the cinema employed the United Kingdom's oldest working projectionist, Neville Parry. In 2015, the theatre was a comedy venue for the HighTide Festival. References Quick, Diana. 2010. "Aldeburgh documentary festival: when fact is more riveting than fiction".

Mitchell Arts Centre

Mitchell Arts Centre is in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Formerly known as the Mitchell Memorial Youth Theatre and Mitchell Memorial Youth Arts Centre and referred to locally as The Mitch. It was opened by Group-Captain Douglas Bader on 28 October 1957, 14 years after Lord Mayor Councillor Charles Austin Brook launched a public appeal in February 1943 with the support of Florence Mitchell, Reginald Mitchell's widow. History Charles Austin Brook was the lord mayor of Stoke-on-Trent between 1942 and 1943. He had, along with the whole of the country witnessed the Battle of Britain, the fight that took place in the skies against the German Luftwaffe in the summer of 1940. It was here that the Spitfire came into its own and on 12 October 1940 Hitler halted his invasion of Britain It was while Brook was mayor of Stoke-on-Trent he suggested that the city should construct a building that would be a lasting memorial to Reginald Mitchell, the Stoke-on-Trent born designer of the Spitfire. The suggestion was greeted with great enthusiasm. Many suggestions were made, the most impressive from Mr J.F. Carr, the director of education, being to build a Youth Centre. Charles Austin Brook said of the appeal: Britain and the world owe Reginald Mitchell a debt that cannot be repaid. We can, however, honour his memory by erecting a temple a temple wherein youth may gaze with confidence towards the future; where physical fitness goes hand in hand with learning and reaches the goal of true citizenship. Initially the vision for the Youth Arts Centre was huge, the City wanted to raise £100,000 and building work was to commence immediately after the war. The plan was for the Youth Centre to have a games room, gym with full-sized boxing ring, photographic studios, and theatre as well as art and music rooms. The Spitfire Mitchell Memorial Fund was launched nationwide in June 1944 in London. The fund had already raised £40,000 locally. In 1957 the Evening Sentinel Supplement stated that the fund's Executive Committee wanted to raise £250,000, £100,000 of this would be to build the Youth Centre and the rest of the money would be to enable the University of Southampton to endow scholarships to students studying at the School of Engineering. Despite the nationwide appeal, by 1953 the fund had reached £67,431. This was however viewed as a commendable amount considering the hardships of war time and the post-war years. £20,000 was put into the RJ Mitchell Endowment fund for the University of Southampton, this funding ceased but in 2006 scholarships in Mitchell's name have been funded from tuition fees. Cartwright House Adjoining the main theatre building is Cartwright House, which was for many years the home to the Hanley branch of the Workers Educational Association providing access to education for adults across the city. Refurbishment In April 2009 the Mitchell Memorial Youth Arts Centre closed to undergo a major £4.3 million refurbishment of the theatre facilities. The building re-opened in 2011.

Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital

The Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital known locally as Cramlington Hospital is a hospital specialising in emergency care for sick and injured patients, opened in 2015 in Cramlington, Northumberland, England by the Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Hospital The Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital is the first NHS hospital purpose-designed to care for emergency cases. It brings together specialists across multiple emergency medicine disciplines, has 24-hour cover from emergency consultants and is fully staffed on a 7-day per week basis. The hospital, which opened on 16 June 2015, cost £75 million to build, with a further £5 million spent on road improvements in the vicinity. An additional £15 million was spent on state-of-the-art diagnostic tools including static and portable digital x-ray systems, two CT scanners and an MRI scanner. The hospital is arranged with specialist wards for surgery, trauma, cardiology, respiratory, stroke and gastrointestinal cases, and has an acute medical unit and a birthing centre. The intention of Northumbria NHS Foundation Trust is to consolidate the practise of emergency medicine at a single centre of excellence to improve patient outcomes. The opening of the hospital has led to accident and emergency facilities being downgraded in other Northumbria NHS hospitals including the Wansbeck, Hexham, and North Tyneside. The trade-off between better facilities and consultant cover, versus longer drive-times to reach the hospital, has been the subject of some controversy and criticism. It was announced in November 2018 that a new building would be constructed off site by the McAvoy Group, linked to the hospital, to house a purpose-designed 2,000 square metre ambulatory care unit with the capacity to treat up to 150 patients a day without the need for hospital admission. In February 2021 the trust launched a court case against Lendlease after significant structural defects were identified in the building. This has triggered counterclaims by Lendlease against several of its sub-contractors, including Balfour Beatty, over which firm is liable for the defects. The trust claims it will cost around £65 million to fully rectify them and they will need temporary facilities into which patients can be decanted while the remedial works are carried out. Following a pre-trial hearing in May 2022, the High Court set a new trial start date of 24 October 2022. References

Chafford Hundred railway station

Chafford Hundred railway station, also known as Chafford Hundred Lakeside station, is located on a single-track branch line of the London, Tilbury and Southend line, serving the area of Chafford Hundred as well as Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex. It is 20 miles 77 chains (33.7 km) down the line from London Fenchurch Street via Upminster; it is situated between Ockendon and Grays. Its three-letter station code is CFH. The station has a single platform and was opened on 26 May 1995 by Fatima Whitbread for Railtrack. Today, all passenger train services are operated by c2c, which also manages the station. Although outside the London fare zones 1 to 6, the station became part of the Oyster card pay-as-you-go network in 2010. It is the busiest single-platform station in the UK. History The single-track line through the area was opened in 1893 by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTSR) as part of a branch from Romford to Grays via Upminster. By the late 20th century service on the line had been reduced to a relatively infrequent shuttle between Upminster and Grays, calling at the only intermediate station at Ockendon. Following the opening of Lakeside Shopping Centre in 1990 a new single-platform station was opened on 26 May 1995 by Fatima Whitbread for Railtrack. The £1 million station was funded by the Chafford Hundred development consortium. Initially a free shuttle bus connected the station to the shopping centre, with a direct pedestrian bridge link replacing the bus in 2000. The shuttle train service was eventually extended beyond Upminster to Fenchurch Street in London and beyond Grays to Southend Central in Southend-on-Sea, with service frequency increased to two trains an hour in each direction. Usage is moderate for a suburban station and increasing; to expand capacity the buildings were rebuilt in 2006. The "Lakeside" suffix has occasionally been added to the name to not only reflect its location in the town of Chafford Hundred but also its proximity to the shopping centre. However, most sources including c2c and TfL, continue to simply call the station Chafford Hundred for sake of brevity. The station became part of the Oyster card pay-as-you-go network in 2010. The station celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025, with Fatima Whitbread, Thurrock MP Jen Craft and local councillors attending a ceremony organised by c2c to mark the occasion. Services As of the June 2024 timetable the typical Monday to Friday off-peak service is: 2 tph (trains per hour) westbound to London Fenchurch Street 2 tph eastbound to Southend Central According to the ORR, the station is the busiest single-platform station in the UK, beating the next busiest (Windsor and Eton Central) by some 900,000 passengers per year. Connections Ensignbus routes 33 and X80 serve the station. References External links
National Portrait Gallery

La National Portrait Gallery en un dels més famosos museus de Londres, la seva col·lecció es basa en retrats de personatges famosos de la història i està construïda just darrere de la National Gallery. La Col·lecció Va ser fundada el 1856 amb l'esperit victorià de l'idealisme, i l'educació a través de l'exemple, l'objectiu de la col·lecció era reunir retrats dels grans i poderosos de Gran Bretanya perquè inspiressin a d'altres. La col·lecció inclou fotografies i caricatures, a més de pintures, dibuixos i escultures. La National Portrait Gallery alberga el Chandes portrait, possiblement el retrat més conegut de William Shakespeare. No tots els retrats són excepcionals artísticament, com els autorretrats de William Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds i altres artistes britànics importants. D'altres com el retrat de grup dels participants en la conferència de Somerset House de 1604, són importants en ser un document històric. Sovint el valor com curiositat és major que el valor artístic d'un treball, com en el cas del retrat anamòrfic d'Eduard VI de William Scrots, o una escultura de la Reina Victòria i el Príncep Albert amb roba medieval. Al principi, perquè el retrat s'inclogués en la col·lecció, el personatge havia d'estar mort. En l'actualitat aquesta norma no es compleix i s'inclouen retrats de la primera ministra Margaret Thatcher, del jugador del futbol Bobby Charlton, i de l'advocat-escriptor John Mortimer. La Galeria es va mudar al seu edifici actual, al nord de Trafalgar Square, el 1896. L'edifici va ser dissenyat per Ewan Christian en un estil neorenaixentista, i construït per Shilliote & Son. Ha estat ampliat en dues ocasions. La primera ampliació va ser inaugurada per Lord Duveen el 1933, i l'ala de la qual recorre Aurenja Street; i la segona ampliació va obrir el 2000 i va ser realitzada per Christopher Ondaatje. L'ala Ondaatje ocupa un espai de terra situat entre entre els edificis del segle xix de la National Gallery i l'edifici de la National Portrait Gallery, i és notable per la seva escala mecànica de dos pisos que duu als visitants a la part més antiga de la col·lecció, els retrats de la dinastia Tudor. El gener de 2008, la Galeria va rebre la major donació de la seva història, 5 milions de lliures, feta pel milionari americà Randy Lerner. Actualment la col·lecció de la National Portrait Gallery està composta per uns 10.000 objectes, entre quadres, escultures, caricatures i dibuixos.
Národní portrétní galerie (Londýn)

Národní portrétní galerie je umělecká galerie v centru Londýna, otevřená roku 1856. Její sbírky obsahují portréty významných postav britské historie s ohledem na význam portrétované osobnosti. Kolekce obsahuje fotografie a karikatury stejně jako obrazy, kresby a sochy. Po vzoru této galerie vznikly další národní portrétní galerie v jiných, zejména anglosaských zemích. Ne všechny portréty jsou významné z uměleckého hlediska i když sbírka obsahují vlastní podobizny Williama Hogartha, sira Joshuy Reynoldse a jiných významných britských malířů. Některé z nich, například společný portrét účastníků konference v Somerset House roku 1604, jsou významnými historickými dokumenty samy o sobě. Některá díla jsou spíše ceněna pro svou kuriozitu než uměleckou hodnotu, například portrét Eduarda VI., portrét sester Charlotte, Emily a Anny Brontëových od Patricka Branwelal Brontëho nebo socha královny Viktorie a prince Alberta ve středověkých kostýmech. Portréty žijících postav byly poprvé zahrnuty do sbírek roku 1969. Řada z lidí, kteří se nechali portrétovat ve fotografickém studiu Fredericka Scotta Archera, náležela k známým osobnostem své doby (Marquis of Northampton, Lord Albert Conyngham, William Smith). Jejich portrétní fotografie vytvořené Archerovým studiem jsou k vidění v této galerii. Z fotografických děl sbírky obsahují tři snímky českého fotografa Ericha Auerbacha. Do budovy na sever od sousední Národní galerie byla přemístěna roku 1896. Původní budova byla rozšířena dvakrát. První rozšíření, financované lordem Deveenem roku 1933, se rozprostírá kolem Orange Street a druhé pořízené za přispění Christophera Ondaatje pochází z roku 2000. Tato přístavba se nachází mezi budovami Národní galerie a National Portrait Gallery a je pozoruhodná svým obrovským pohyblivým schodištěm zasahujícím do dvou poschodí. Kromě stálé expozice historických portrétů vystavuje galerie i sbírku současných prací, předvádí portréty z dílny současných autorů a pořádá každoroční soutěž BP Portrait Prize. Doprava – metro – Charing Cross, Embankment, Leicester Square.

Det var det første portrætgalleri i verden, da det åbnede i 1856. I 1896 flyttede galleriet til dets nuværende bygning på St Martin's Place, ved Trafalgar Square, og støder op til National Gallery. Det er blevet udvidet to gange siden. National Portrait Gallery har også tre regionale afdelinger i Beningbrough Hall, Bodelwyddan Castle og Montacute House. Det har ikke forbindelse til Scottish National Portrait Gallery i Edinburgh, hvis område det overlapper. Galleriet er et non-departmental public body sponsoreret af Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Museet indeholder omkring 195.000 portrætter, hvoraf et af de mest berømte er Chandosportættet af William Shakespeare selvom det er usikkert, om det egentlig forestiller forfatteren.
