Northampton Museum and Art Gallery

Northampton Museum and Art Gallery is a public museum in Northampton, England. The museum is owned and run by West Northamptonshire Council and houses one of the largest collection of shoes in the world, with over 15,000 pairs, which was designated by Arts Council England as being of local, national and international importance. The town's museum was established in 1865, but moved to the current site in 1884, where it shared its space with the town's library. After the library moved in 1910, the museum took over the whole building. The museum was extended in 1935 and again in 1988. In 2012, the museum was refurbished for better access. The museum closed between 2017 and 2021 for a major £6.7m expansion project. The new museum reopened in July 2021, more than a year later than planned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Exhibits The museum has been collecting footwear since the 1870s and now boasts the largest collection of shoes in the world, which was designated as being of international importance by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council in 1997. The ground floor is given over to the display of some of the museum's 12,000 pairs of shoes, spanning the period from the Ancient Egyptians to the present day. There are also two galleries dedicated to footwear: Life & Sole focuses on the history of shoemaking and contains a re-creation of an old shoe factory; Followers of Fashion concentrates on the history of fashions in footwear throughout the centuries. Some of the paintings on display reflect the museum's focus on footwear, such as the 17th-19th century Dutch and Flemish works by Jan Miel and Hendrik van Oort featuring cobblers, shoemakers and shoeshiners. As long-time Keeper of the Boot and Shoe Collection, curator June Swann played a significant role in its development. She began in 1950, and worked there for 38 years. The second and third floors of the museum house exhibits about Northampton's history and displays of Oriental ceramics and Italian art from the 15th to the 18th century. Sekhemka statue controversy The museum conducted a controversial sale of an Ancient Egyptian statue of Sekhemka in July 2014, with questions relating to the ownership and the ethics of selling the statue being raised by various organizations. The statue was sold to an unknown buyer for £15.76m, which broke the existing world record for Ancient Egyptian artwork at auction. On 1 August 2014, Northampton Museums had its accreditation removed by the Arts Council England, which ruled that the sale broke the required standards for how museums manage their collections; loss of accreditation includes ineligibility for a range of arts grants and funding, and is in effect until at the earliest, August 2019.

Norwich Bus Station

Norwich bus station is sited off Surrey Street and Queen's Road in Norwich, Norfolk, England. It is served by several bus operators, including First Eastern Counties, Konectbus, National Express, Megabus and Sanders Coaches. History The land between Surrey Street and Bull Lane was acquired in April 1934 by the Eastern Counties Omnibus Company. The huge garage and station were designed by architect H J Starkey and it was opened in 1936 by the Lord Mayor Walter Riley. The garage had the biggest unsupported roof span in the country, with no pillars or supports in the 52,000 square feet (4,800 m2) of floor space. The garage structure was said to have weighed 220 tonnes; 650,000 bricks and 9 miles (14 km) of electric cable went into its construction. The Norwich PT Major transportation project identified the need for a new bus station as the catalyst for the regeneration of an important social and commercial area of Norwich which was previously neglected. Funding was awarded in November 2002 and planning consent was granted in December 2003. Demolition and construction commenced in February 2004; partial opening of the through road for the Park & Ride service was achieved April 2005. The new bus station opened on 30 August 2005, at a cost of £5 million and two months later than planned. With its distinctive steel roof, it won the 2006 SCALA Civic Building of the Year Award. The roof has caused problems and, in February 2013, the bus station had to be closed for two weeks to allow contractors to replace much of the roof to fix leaks. On average, the bus station sees 7,800 bus movements per week, with 200,000 passengers boarding; the information centre helps 21,000 people per week. Facilities There is an information desk with general information on local buses and national coach services, a waiting area, public toilets and a café. Routes Most local bus operations in Norwich depart from either Castle Meadow, near Norwich Castle, St. Stephen's Street or from Theatre Street, near Norwich's Theatre Royal. The bus station is reserved for long-distance express services, coach services or Norwich Park and Ride services, with a few local services operating out of the terminus. Most notable routes which operate from the bus station, include: X1 Coastlink: First Eastern Counties operates this flagship service to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft X2 Coastlink: First Eastern Counties runs this service to Lowestoft, via the A146 road, calling at Loddon and Beccles Excel (Buses display “XL”): A,B and C services operate to Peterborough, via Dereham, Wisbech and King's Lynn; D runs to Dereham 8: Konectbus's KonectExpress, operates to Dereham and Toftwood References External links Norfolk County Council – Norwich bus station

Old Billingsgate

Old Billingsgate Market is the name given to what is now a hospitality and events venue in the City of London, based in the Victorian building that was originally Billingsgate Fish Market, the world's largest fish market in the 19th century. The first Billingsgate Market building was constructed on Lower Thames Street in 1850 by the builder John Jay, and the fish market was moved off the streets into its new riverside building. This was demolished in around 1873 and replaced by an arcaded market hall designed by City architect Horace Jones and built by John Mowlem & Co. in 1875, the building that still stands on the site today. In 1982, the fish market itself was relocated to a new site on the Isle of Dogs in east London. The 1875 building was then refurbished by architect Richard Rogers, originally to provide office accommodation. Now used as an events venue, it remains a major London landmark and a notable Grade II listed building. Gallery References External links Official website
Old Billingsgate Market

Old Billingsgate Market est un ancien marché aux poissons situé dans le quartier de la City à Londres. Le bâtiment de style victorien abritait à l’origine le Billingsgate Fish Market (en), le plus grand marché au poisson du monde au XIXe siècle. Histoire Le premier bâtiment de Billingsgate a été construit en 1850 par John Jay le long de la Tamise, sur Lower Thames Street, pour abriter le marché au poisson qui se déroulait jusqu'alors dans les rues. Ce bâtiment a été démoli vers 1873 et remplacé par la halle actuelle, dessinée par l’architecte de la ville Horace Jones et construit par John Mowlem & Co. en 1875. En 1982, les activités du marché au poisson ont été déplacées sur un nouveau site sur l’Île aux Chiens dans l’est de Londres. Le bâtiment de 1875 a alors été restauré par l’architecte Richard Rogers. Désormais utilisé pour des événements, comme le MTV tribute for The Cure en 2004 ou le Club France lors des Jeux olympiques d'été de 2012, il est un monument classé de grade II et reste un élément marquant du paysage londonien.

Old Bishop's Palace, Chester

Old Palace Chester is located in an elevated position overlooking The Groves and the River Dee in Chester, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. History Building of the palace began before 1745, and it was completed in 1751. It was built for Samuel Peploe, Bishop of Chester. The palace was substantially expanded in the 18th century, and altered again in the 19th century but, apart from the main door, its external appearance has been virtually unchanged since the 18th century. It became the official residence of the bishops of Chester in 1865, and continued to be used for this purpose until the 1920s. It then was converted for use as a YMCA hostel, and retained this purpose until the early 1980s, when it was further converted into commercial offices. Architecture The palace is constructed in red brick with stone dressings and has grey slate roofs. It is in three storeys plus cellars, and has a hipped roof. The front of the main block facing the river has eleven bays with rusticated quoins at the corners. The fourth to sixth bays form a canted projection rising through the three storeys containing the entrance door in the ground floor. All the other bays in each storey contain a sash window. Between the ground and first floors is a stone band. Above the upper storey is a stone cornice and a brick coped parapet. There is a one-bay wing at the right end of the building. In the wing and on the sides of the building are more sash windows. The interior contains an open-well staircase with six flights and turned balusters; the balustrade has replaced a former Chinese Chippendale balustrade. On the first floor is a large room with an 18th-century decorated ceiling.
