Isla de Purbeck

La isla de Purbeck (en inglés: Isle of Purbeck), es una península ubicada en el condado de Dorset, en el extremo sur de Inglaterra. A pesar de su nombre, en realidad no es una isla propiamente dicha: está bordeada por mar en tres lados: el Canal de la Mancha al sur y al este, donde presenta escarpados acantilados que caen perpendicularmente al mar; y por las tierras pantanosas del río Frome y el puerto de Poole al norte. Su límite occidental terrestre está menos definido, aunque algunas fuentes medievales lo sitúan en la antigua fortaleza Flower's Barrow sobre Worbarrow Bay. Su extremo meridional es denominado St Aldhelm's o St Alban's Head. Al igual que en muchos otros puntos del Reino Unido, este lugar sufre de problemas de erosión a lo largo de su línea costera. La totalidad de la extensión de la isla de Purbeck se sitúa dentro del distrito de Purbeck, que así fue llamado en su honor. No obstante, el distrito se extiende considerablemente hacia el norte y hacia el oeste de los límites tradicionales de la isla de Purbeck demarcados por el río Frome.

Isola di Purbeck

L'isola di Purbeck (in inglese: Isle of Purbeck; 155 km² circa) è - a dispetto del nome - una penisola sulla Manica dell'Inghilterra sud-occidentale, situata nella contea del Dorset e, più precisamente, nel distretto di Purbeck (Dorset sud-orientale). Il tratto costiero fa parte della cosiddetta "Jurassic Coast", inclusa dall'UNESCO nel patrimonio dell'umanità. Principale centro balneare della penisola è Swanage. Altre note località sono Corfe Castle (conosciuta soprattutto per l'omonimo castello) e Wareham. La penisola è famosa, tra l'altro, per il marmo di Purbeck, che veniva utilizzato per la costruzione degli edifici della zona. Geografia Collocazione L'isola di Purbeck si trova ad est di Weymouth, a sud-est di Dorchester, a sud/sud-ovest di Poole e Bournemouth e ad ovest dell'isola di Wight. Località Arne Church Knowle Corfe Castle Creech Kimmeridge Kingston Langton Matravers Studland Swanage Tyneham Wareham Worth Matravers Geologia La geologia dell'isola è complessa. Ha una costa irregolare lungo l'est e più regolare presso sud. La parte settentrionale è composta da argilla eocenica (si parla di Barton beds). La terra non sommersa dal mare è formata da strati paralleli di rocce giurassiche, tra cui il calcare di Portland e le bancate di Purbeck. Quest'ultime includono il marmo Purbeck, un calcare particolarmente resistente che può essere lucidato (anche se mineralogicamente, non è un marmo).

Purbeck-eiland

Het Purbeck-eiland (Engels: Isle of Purbeck) is een schiereiland in het graafschap Dorset, in het uiterste zuiden van Engeland. Ondanks de naam is het eigenlijk geen eiland: het wordt aan drie kanten begrensd door de zee: Het Kanaal in het zuiden en oosten, waar het steile kliffen heeft die loodrecht in zee vallen, en het moerasland van de rivier de Frome en de haven van Poole in het noorden. De westelijke landsgrens is minder goed gedefinieerd, hoewel sommige middeleeuwse bronnen het plaatsen bij het oude fort Flower's Barrow boven Worbarrow Bay. De zuidpunt heet St Aldhelm's of St Alban's Head. Net als veel andere plaatsen in het Verenigd Koninkrijk heeft het langs de kust last van erosieproblemen. Tussen 1974 en 2019 lag heel Purbeck binnen het district Purbeck, dat er naar was vernoemd. Het district strekt zich echter aanzienlijk uit ten noorden en ten westen van de traditionele grenzen van het eiland Purbeck, langs de rivier de Frome. Na de opheffing van het district op 1 april 2019 ligt Purbeck nu in het district Dorset. Opmerkelijke plaatsen op het schiereiland zijn Swanage, Studland en Corfe Castle.

Coleford Great Western Railway Museum

Coleford Great Western Railway Museum is a railway museum located in Coleford, Gloucestershire, England. The museum was founded in 1988. Based in the former GWR Goods Shed along the Coleford Railway. There was also another station situated at Coleford, it was opened by the Severn and Wye Railway. The Museum traces the history of all the railways in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire from the early 19th century when the first plateways were laid, to the 1970s when the Dean Forest Railway was founded. The Museum has information about the Wye Valley Railway, Severn and Wye Railway and Monmouth Troy railway station. It consists of the former goods shed, a GWR signal box, a miniature railway, and a short stretch of track on which a Peckett 0-4-0ST locomotive, no. 1893, stands with ex-GWR rolling stock.

Coleham Pumping Station

Coleham Pumping Station is a historical pumping station at Coleham in Shrewsbury, England. History The sewage pumping station was built at the end of the 19th century as part of a major upgrading of Shrewsbury's sewerage system. Two massive steam-driven beam engines were built by Renshaw's of Stoke-on-Trent during 1897–1898; and a brick building, resembling a Victorian chapel in style, was constructed in 1900 to house them. The pumping station was opened by the mayoress of Shrewsbury in 1901. The steam-powered pumps were used until 1970, when new electric pumps were brought into use. The ownership of the pumping station, including the building, engines and grounds, was transferred to Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council in 1974. It is now a museum run by Shropshire Museums (department of Shropshire Council). Preservation The Shrewsbury Steam Trust was founded in 1992 with the aim of restoring the steam engines and the two coal-fired Cornish boilers that provided the steam. One boiler was commissioned in 2002, allowing the Society to hold 'steam-up' days. Restoration of the second beam engine was completed on 27 September 2004, when it was operated for the first time in the 34 years since it was retired. Both steam engines may be seen running together on the several Open Days that are held at the museum each year.

Coleridge Community College

Coleridge Community College is a secondary academy school with 750 places for children aged 11–16, situated on Radegund Road, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. The school is a member of the United Learning Cambridge Cluster (formerly the Parkside Federation and the Cambridge Academic Partnership) along with Parkside Community College, Trumpington Community College, Cambridge Academy for Science and Technology (formerly UTC Cambridge), and Parkside Sixth. It joined Parkside Community College to form the Parkside Federation in 2005, after having been placed in special measures in 2003. An Ofsted report in 2019 rated it as good, under the leadership of headteacher Mark Patterson. Cambridge Academic Partnership joined the United Learning academy as a unit in September 2019. This rating was confirmed by Ofsted in a monitoring visit in December 2024. In August 2026, under the leadership of Matt Oughton, Coleridge achieved their best ever set of GCSE outcomes which saw them as the 4th most improved school in England for Attainment 8 and the most improved school for Pupil Premium outcomes. Originally two segregated schools, the Coleridge Secondary Modern School for Boys was located in the right half and the Coleridge Secondary Modern School for Girls in the left half of the mirror-image twin main building, with a separate dedicated gymnasium located behind the Girls' school, and prefabricated classroom outbuildings surrounding its internal playing fields at the rear of the Boys' school. The two schools were merged into a comprehensive school from the 1966 school year as part of the national reorganisation of secondary and grammar schools. Criticism of behaviour policy In December 2021 a student-made petition on Change.org said that the school had transformed from a "safe haven" to a "negative environment which resembles a prison", asking for these "derogatory rules to be demonised". A parent was interviewed in the local news and described the school as a "camp" because children were given report cards. A former student was interviewed and said "You always felt like you were doing something wrong". Daniel Zeichner, the Labour Party UK MP for Cambridge, said "I found some of the attitudes of the trust hard to take. It was very much 'this is United Learning’s approach and that's the way it is'". A United Learning spokesperson for the college said that the behaviour policy had been 'successfully put in place' but that local parents are 'entitled to complain'.

Coles Corner

Coles Corner is the name given to the corner of Fargate and Church Street in Sheffield, England, in sight of the cathedral. It was the site of the old Cole Brothers department store until it moved to Barker's Pool in 1963. The modern building was built on the site of Coles Corner and has been occupied by Midland Bank and various retailers over the years, including HSBC, Starbucks Coffee, Vodafone, The Carphone Warehouse, Pret, and most recently Burger King. The top floor has also been occupied by an Armed Forces Careers Office (AFCO), staffed by personnel from all three services of the British Armed Forces. The corner is famous in Sheffield as a place to meet for a first date. A plaque put up by the Rotary Club now marks the spot and ensures its local history is not forgotten. A song and album by Sheffield singer Richard Hawley were named after the place. References External links Painting of Coles Corner
College Farm

College Farm is the only farm site in Finchley, in the London Borough of Barnet. It currently trades as an equestrian and pet store. It is located in Regents Park Road, close to Henlys Corner on the North Circular Road. It has two residential roads running alongside it; Allandale Avenue and Fitzalan Road. History In 1868 George Barham, founder of Express Dairies, leased Sheephouse Farm, a property of about 97 acres (390,000 m2). In 1882/83 he had it rebuilt by Fredrick Chancellor as a model dairy farm, renaming it College Farm after the nearby Christ's College. In 1898 College Farm was the scene of the "Finchley Murder", when the head cowman Thomas Webb was shot dead. The case was investigated by Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Henry Moore, but Thomas's killer was never identified. By the 1900s the company believed that the farm was not viable as a real farm, so it was decided to adapt it to become a visitor attraction in 1909, buying out the lease on the property of the farm buildings, and retaining a few of the adjacent fields from the original estate. By the 1930s the residue of the farm was surrounded by houses, and was open to the public, with tea rooms and an exhibition of objects related to the dairy industry. In the 1950s and 1960s cows were grazed and milked on the site by Express Dairies. In 1973 Express Dairies left the site, and the dairy museum was broken up. In 1974 the Department of the Environment purchased the estate with the intention of giving it to the London Borough of Barnet in exchange for open land at Henlys Corner intended for a flyover, which was never built. The farm was leased by Chris and Jane Ower, who ran it as a popular local attraction from 1980 until February 2001, when the site had to be closed because of restrictions caused by the foot-and-mouth outbreak. Chris Ower, with the support of some local residents and friends of the farm, set up the College Farm Trust in 2004 with the intention of re-establishing the farm as a visitor centre. The Trust now owns the whole site and is working to raise the funds to reopen to the public. However, the trust was removed from the Charity Commission register on 1 February 2018 as it was not operating. College Farm is a Site of Local Importance for Nature Conservation. It also has a silo which is a Grade II listed building. See also Nature reserves in Barnet References Further reading Hewlett, Janet (1997). Nature Conservation in Barnet. London Ecology Unit.

Colliford Lake

Colliford Lake is a reservoir on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Covering more than 900 acres (3.6 km2), it is the largest lake in Cornwall. Between 1983 and 1984 a dam was constructed, impounding water from the River St Neot, creating a water supply bigger than all of Cornwall's other reservoirs combined. It is situated south of the A30 trunk road near the village of Bolventor, the approximate centre of the lake being at OS grid reference SX179730. Dozmary Pool outfalls into the lake and the lake's own outfall forms one of the tributaries of the River Fowey. The northernmost point of the lake is approximately three-quarters of a mile (1 km) south of Bolventor at OS grid reference SX184756 and the headbank at the southernmost point is approximately three miles (5 km) south of Bolventor at OS grid reference SX177709. Leisure facilities on the site include angling and a 50-acre (200,000 m2) adventure and nature park, Colliford Lake Park, which features trails and footpaths, play areas, wetlands, picnic areas and a cafe. Colliford Lake is managed by the South West Lakes Trust, an environmental and recreational charity which manages fifty inland water sites in Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset. In 2026 a labyrinth called Kerdroya was completed on the site. The project built with Cornish hedging took seven years and was instigated by Will Coleman. A thousand volunteers and 5,000 schoolchildren helped build it and about 150 people received training in the craft of hedging during the build.

Collingham College

Collingham College is a private, co-educational school, founded as Collingham Tutors in 1975, by Old Etonian John Marsden and Nicholas Browne. The Sixth Form is situated in London's Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is directly between Earl's Court and Gloucester Road stations, both served by the District and the Piccadilly lines. Collingham's campus includes the sixth form building at 23 Collingham Gardens, and the GCSE school occupying a Georgian townhouse on Young Street by Kensington Palace, once home to the author William Thackeray. The college is still privately owned with the current Directors being the son and grandson of its founders. True to its founding principles, Collingham prides itself as being a home for independent minds — a school where bright, curious, unconventional thinkers find space to belong and space to excel. Classes are small, lessons are long and discussion and debate is encouraged. Each year, students move on to some of the UK's top universities. The Principal of Collingham is James Allder BA. Many of the tutors at Collingham are expert academics, who join the school after professional careers in their field. Mock admissions tests and interviews are available for Oxbridge applicants. There are about two hundred and fifty students at Collingham. Students come from a range of academic abilities and backgrounds, with many joining from public schools. They run Christmas and Easter revision courses near to exams which are available to the public. According to the Good Schools Guide, "You go to Collingham for two things - the academics and the sense of being independent while, in reality, being nurtured and carefully monitored. The level of support given to students is exceptional, reflected in a growth of confidence and the desire to succeed." Collingham's sixth form was originally Gibbs' Preparatory School whose former pupils include Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, Robert Kennedy, Ted Kennedy and Frederick Tennyson. The Boltons Garden Party Collingham students support and attend the annual St Mary The Boltons summer fair, held in The Boltons garden square every June.
