Stakeford

Stakeford is a large village in south east Northumberland, England. Its about 17 miles (27 km) north of Newcastle upon Tyne. It lies south of the River Wansbeck from Ashington, the nearest town. The village takes its name from the former river crossing to the north of the village, this was a crossing through the mudflats which was marked with stakes to give an idea of the water depth, hence the name Stakeford. The river crossing has long gone, but remains of the stakes can be seen in the river bed becoming visible whenever the dam downstream is opened. The old river crossing was replaced by a bridge in the early 20th century, which in itself was replaced by the new Stakeford Bridge in 1994. There is now no trace of the original ford due to the mudflats being used as a landfill site in the 1950s and 60s and the creation of a riverside country park in the 1970s. It is a mainly residential village. There are three pubs and a Social Club. There is also a miners' institute although it never had a mine as this was located in the adjacent village of Bomarsund. Stakeford has several shops and a primary school. Today Stakeford forms one built-up area, with neighbouring Guide Post and Sheepwash. Notable people John Trewick, professional footballer for Newcastle United in the early 1980s Mick Harrison and Tim Pattison, bassist and drummer for Leicester-based '90s indie/punk rock/krautrock/shoegaze band, Prolapse (band), grew up in Stakeford Darren Allison, record producer and musician. Governance The village is in Choppington parish. It also has an electoral ward in its own name. The total ward population taken at the 2011 Census was 4,672.

Stakeford

Stakeford is een Engels dorp in het zuidoosten van Northumberland, op ongeveer 27 km ten noorden van Newcastle upon Tyne. Het ligt aan de zuidoever van de Wansbeck, tegenover de dichtstbijzijnde stad Ashington. Stakeford ontleent zijn naam aan de voormalige voorde ten noorden van het dorp. Deze oversteekplaats bestond uit kwelders en was daarom voorzien van staken om de diepte aan te duiden. Resten van deze staken zijn nog steeds af en toe zichtbaar. De plaats is vooral residentieel. Er zijn drie pubs en een mijninstituut (hoewel er nooit mijnen waren, wel in het naburige Bomarsund). Er zijn verschillende winkels en een basisschool. Stakeford vormt thans een aaneengegroeid geheel met de naburige plaatsen Guide Post en Sheepwash.

Hinchingbrooke School

Hinchingbrooke School is a large comprehensive secondary school situated on the outskirts of Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, historically in Huntingdonshire. Originally all of the surrounding land—including what is now Huntingdon Town—comprised the grounds of Hinchingbrooke House. There is still an avenue of trees leading from the start of Hinchingbrooke House towards the town, which was the old entranceway through the grounds. It is now an academy. History Hinchingbrooke School was founded as Huntingdon Grammar School in 1565. Among its pupils in its early history were Oliver Cromwell and Samuel Pepys. On 1 September 1939 it opened in a new building on Brampton Road. The girls from Highbury Hill High School in London were evacuated for safety and attended the premises from 1939 to 1943. In 1970 the school began to take pupils of all abilities and soon became fully comprehensive. At the same time the school changed its name and moved to new premises in Hinchingbrooke Park and the renovated Hinchingbrooke House. In 2006 Hinchingbrooke School became a Specialist Sports College. It is now an academy. Hinchingbrooke sixth form The sixth form is located in the historic Hinchingbrooke House itself, with most classrooms and student areas within the Grade I listed building. Hinchingbrooke main school The main school includes sports facilities, such as a swimming pool, the Fisherhall Dance Studio, a 3rd generation Artificial Grass Pitch and a fitness suite.

Iveshead School

Iveshead School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form situated within the town of Shepshed, Leicestershire, England. It was formed in September 2017 through the merger of Hind Leys Community College and Shepshed High School. In 2021/2022, the original school building was sold to St. Botolph’s Primary School, a school that was located on the same campus. The staff, students and others moved into the combined school, merging the two while the building was rebuilt and had extensions added, considering there was not enough room. The school takes in students from a variety of areas including Shepshed, Loughborough, Belton, Kegworth, Long Whatton, Diseworth, Melton Mowbray and Castle Donington. Previously a community school administered by Leicestershire County Council, in December 2022 Iveshead School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Mowbray Education Trust. The school also provides a much wider range of services to the local community. Enclosed within the school is a crèche, complemented by the Shepshed toy library situated nearby. D In the evenings, it also provides the necessary facilities in order to host various clubs and societies ranging from sports to lessons in a foreign language. Situated near the school is also a local swimming pool used for P.E. Lessons. References
Hingston Down

Hingston Down is a hill not far from Gunnislake in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is the subject of an old rhyme, due to the prolific tin mining that formerly took place in the area: Hingston Down well ywroughtIs worth London Town dearly bought. This Hingston Down should not be confused with the Hingston Down at 50.661°N 3.746°W﻿ / 50.661; -3.746, a hill spur about a mile east of the town of Moretonhampstead in the neighbouring county of Devon. History The hill is usually accepted as the place mentioned in an entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 835 (corrected by scholars to 838) which says that Ecgberht king of the West Saxons defeated an army of Vikings and Cornish at the Battle of Hingston Down (Hengestdūn = "Stallion Hill"). Geology The Hingston Down Consols mine on the hill is the type locality for the mineral Arthurite, which was discovered here. There is also a quarry on the hill, which forms the Hingston Down Quarry & Consols Site of Special Scientific Interest, noted for its mineralisation. Parts of the land designated as Hingston Down Quarry & Consols SSSI are owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. See also Kit Hill Country Park References
Hingston Down

Hingston Down est une colline des Cornouailles, en Angleterre. Elle est située à environ deux kilomètres à l'ouest de Gunnislake et du fleuve Tamar qui marque la frontière avec le comté voisin du Devon. En 838, le roi Egbert de Wessex y met en déroute une armée composée de Vikings et de Bretons de Cornouailles. La colline est la localité-type de l'arthurite, un minerai qui y a été découvert. Elle abrite une ancienne mine et une carrière toujours en activité qui sont considérées depuis 1995 comme un site d'intérêt scientifique particulier pour raisons géologiques.

Hinksey Halt railway station

Hinksey Halt railway station was built by the Great Western Railway to serve New Hinksey, a suburb of Oxford. History The station was situated on the Didcot to Oxford Cherwell Valley line, to the north of the site of Millstream Junction, the junction for the original terminus at Oxford (Grandpont), which was later a goods station but had closed by 1900. Access to Hinksey Halt was via Norreys Avenue and a footpath across the adjacent reservoir. The reservoir was formerly a ballast pit, dug by the GWR between 1844 and 1848. It was opened on 1 February 1908 along with four other halts on the route between Oxford and Wheatley. Services were provided by steam railmotors based at Oxford, which was also the western terminus; the eastern terminus of these services was Wheatley, Thame or Princes Risborough. When the railmotor services were withdrawn on 22 March 1915, the halt closed. The line remains open for passenger services between Reading and Oxford, but these do not call at Hinksey Halt.

Hinxworth Place

Hinxworth Place is a medieval manor house near Hinxworth, Hertfordshire, England. Formerly the Manor of Pulters, building was started c. 1390. The construction is of clunch with loose flint filling cavities in the lower part of the walls. There is 16th century decoration painted directly onto the stonework in one of the upper rooms. It was once owned by John Ward, son of Richard Ward, who was Lord Mayor of London for one month in 1484. After his death it passed to John Lambard, master of the Mercers' Company and alderman of London. The house was inhabited at one time by Cistercian monks of Pipewell Abbey in Northamptonshire. The Drury and Andrews map of 1766 shows an L-shaped building with three separate outbuildings with indication of an avenue and other plantings. The large spring fed pond to the south of the house is one of the sources of the river Rhee which is a major tributary of the river Cam. In the early part of the 20th century it was owned by Walter Sale who farmed 250 acres (1.0 km2) but in the 1930s was compulsorily purchased by the county council who divided the land into four smallholdings each of about 60 acres (240,000 m2). The Sales remained tenants until 1949 by which time, the house having fallen into dereliction, it was sold to a banker who formed a syndicate of London professionals and artists (including the actor Peter Copley) who renovated it. Hinxworth Place was divided and sold during the 1960s and the larger part of the property is now the home and workplace of the sculptor John W Mills, a number of his works are displayed in the grounds. Haunting of Hinxworth Place Hinxworth Place has long been reputedly haunted. The main legend concerns the sound of thumps, screams, the sound of a baby crying, and of water coming from a pump – but this only takes place during stormy autumn evenings. The story behind the disembodied sounds is the accidental killing of a young boy by his nursemaid. Having dressed himself in a white sheet as a "ghost" for a joke, the child's terrified nurse screamed and struck at him with a poker, and he fell down a flight of stairs, the commotion awakening the family's baby. Servants attempted in vain to revive the boy by putting his head under the pump. There have also been tales of ghostly monks – sometimes a procession, sometimes alone – vanishing through a doorway long since bricked up.

Hisehope Reservoir

Hisehope Reservoir is the smallest of a group of three reservoirs located on Muggleswick Common, County Durham, the others being Waskerley and Smiddy Shaw Reservoirs. The reservoir was completed 1906, and is owned and operated by Northumbrian Water. It feeds, via an open aqueduct, into Smiddy Shaw reservoir, which in turn feeds water under gravity to a water treatment works at Honey Hill. The reservoir has a lengthy catchwater extending from the north end of its dam around Cross Rigg on Muggleswick Common. This significantly extends the catchment area. Hisehope and its two neighbouring reservoirs are located within the Muggleswick, Stanhope and Edmundbyers Commons and Blanchland Moor Site of Special Scientific Interest, which itself forms part of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Pleasure Beach, Blackpool

Pleasure Beach, Blackpool est un parc d'attractions situé comme son nom l'indique à Blackpool dans le Lancashire, en Angleterre. Il est l'un des parcs à thèmes d'Europe à avoir été distingué par un Thea Award, décerné par la Themed Entertainment Association. Histoire Le parc fut fondé le 23 avril 1896 par Alderman William George Bean, qui disait vouloir créer « […] un parc d'attractions dans le style des parcs américains qui ferait se sentir les adultes à nouveau comme des enfants et qui leur inspirerait un sentiment d'innocence et de gaieté. » Ce parc est avant tout une histoire de famille puisque depuis son ouverture, générations après générations, le parc est resté dans les mains de la même famille. D'abord dirigé par le frère de Bean, Leonard Thompson jusque dans les années 1970. C'est ensuite son fils William Geoffrey Thompson qui prit la relève, jusqu'à sa mort en 2004. Aujourd'hui c'est la fille de William Geoffrey, Amanda Thompson qui est à la tête du parc. Le parc subit ces dernières années de nombreuses modifications, afin de remettre en forme certaines attractions. Ces changements sont aussi visibles dans le nom du parc, puisque depuis 2007, le parc initialement appelé Blackpool Pleasure Beach est devenu Pleasure Beach, Blackpool. En 2020, le parc reçoit le Thea Classic Award.

Pleasure Beach Resort

Pleasure Beach Resort is een attractiepark in Blackpool, Lancashire, Engeland. Het park is tussen februari en november geopend. Pleasure Beach Resort is een van de meest bezochte parken van Europa met ongeveer vijf tot zes miljoen bezoekers per jaar. Deze jaarlijkse bezoekcijfers berusten echter op schattingen, want Pleasure Beach Blackpool was namelijk gratis te betreden tot 2008. In 2009 is hier verandering in gekomen door de invoer van een entreeprijs van £5. Hierna kun je beslissen of je per attractie betaalt of een Unlimited polsbandje koopt waarmee je in alle attracties kunt. Er is hierover eerst ophef ontstaan onder de horeca en bedrijven op het gebied, die vreesden hierdoor minder bezoekers te krijgen. Historie Het park is opgericht in 1896 door William George Bean, die zei dat het de bedoeling was een attractiepark te openen in de Amerikaanse stijl. Het was de bedoeling om volwassenen zich kind te laten voelen. Pleasure Beach Blackpool telt bijna 60 attracties, waaronder enkele spectaculaire en bijzondere achtbanen. Zo vindt men er de Big One, die bij de opening de hoogste, snelste én steilste achtbaan ter wereld was, de in zijn geheel over het water gebouwde omgekeerde achtbaan Infusion en de eerste stalen achtbaan van Europa met een inversie, de Revolution uit 1979. Daarnaast staan er nog vele klassieke achtbanen zoals de houten achtbaan Big Dipper uit 1923 en de houten möbiusachtbaan Grand National uit 1935. De originele spooktrein is geopend in 1930 en werd inmiddels vervangen. In 1987 opende er een treinstation aan het pretpark. Tussen het seizoen van 2010 en 2011 werd het kinderthemagebied Beaver Creek vervangen in Nickelodeon Land, nadat het park een contract had afgesloten met Viacom.
