Brooksbank School

The Brooksbank School is a secondary school with academy status in Elland, near Halifax in West Yorkshire, England. It is a sports college, as well as the second largest school in Calderdale, behind Trinity Academy, located in Sowerby Bridge. The school currently has over 1,700 pupils and over 250 members of staff. History The school was founded in the town of Elland in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, by Joseph Brooksbank in 1712, to help forty impoverished children of Elland to learn to read without fees and to write for a charge of one penny a week. Brooksbank grew up in Elland but left the town at the age of sixteen to become a haberdasher’s apprentice in London. In 1679 he married Mary, daughter of merchant Richard Stamp and niece of the Thomas Stamp who became Lord Mayor in 1691. Brooksbank became a Citizen of the City of London in 1681 and was appointed a Master of the Haberdashers Company in 1718. Joseph Brookbanks's son, Stamp, born in 1694, became a director of the Bank of England by the age of thirty-six, appointed the governor of the bank from 1741-1743, and was a Member of Parliament. He was a millionaire at the time of his death in 1756. In the same year, Stamp’s son, also called Joseph, provided the school with a second endowment. The school moved its premises to Westgate. Charity Commissioners, who inspected the school in 1829, reported that forty children were attending and that the schoolmaster was being paid a salary of £70 a year. A new school, the Elland and District Secondary School, was built on Victoria Road, opening on 12 September 1911 for approximately one hundred pupils. In 1933 this became Elland Grammar School. Twenty five years later the school became comprehensive, took the name 'Brooksbank' from its founder, and instituted a further building program. The Brooksbank School today has a teaching capacity for around 1,700 pupils. Campus The school is on the west side of Elland, and is a five-minute walk from the town centre, and 0.5 miles (0.8 km) north-west from the accessible M62 motorway. Bus links include those to Halifax, Huddersfield and Brighouse. Facilities include a sports hall, four tennis courts, three drama studios, a playing field, a 3G Football pitch and a gymnasium. Brooksbank School sponsored sports include badminton, table tennis, and rugby. Extracurricular activities Extracurricular activities include football and rugby, and the school also plays rugby league and competes in national school competitions. Since 2009, the school has been in the national championship final eight times, winning five of those appearances. Each year, the school performs a drama production and has over forty clubs and societies.

The Bull Hotel, Cambridge

The Bull Hotel was a historic hotel located at 68 Trumpington Street, Cambridge, England, next to St Catharine's College. The four-storey hotel was built in 1828, and occupies the site of an inn previously known as the Black Bull, which was in existence as early as the fifteenth century. The Black Bull was bequeathed to St Catharine's College in 1626 and rebuilt in 1828 and opened as a hotel. In 1936 two "acanthus'" type posts were said to flank the stone ashlar porch of the Bull Hotel. It was one of the top hotels in Cambridge until the Second World War, when in 1941 the hotel became a centre for American serviceman. Photographs taken during the war show an American flag and a British flag on the hotel.

The Capitol Theatre, Horsham

The Capitol Theatre is a multi-purpose arts venue in Horsham, West Sussex, England. The original Capitol Theatre, built in Italian style by the Blue Flash Cinema Company, was opened on Wednesday 7 November 1923. As Earl Winterton was unable to be present speeches were made by Mrs. Campion, wife of Lt. Col. Campion of the Blue Flash company, who opened the venue, and Lady Burrel. The first silent film shown, Chu Chin Chow was accompanied by music played by the band of the 4th Royal Sussex Regiment and singing by baritone Frank Watts. Blue Flash had been set up to provide employment for soldiers of the battalion, especially the musicians, on a not-for-profit basis. The building work was undertaken by Goodman & Kay of Horsham. The building, on what was then London Road near the town centre, was set back from the street with an Italianate courtyard in front, including a fountain. A Hill, Norman & Beard organ was installed in 1924 and an RCA sound system in 1929. The theatre was taken over by Union Cinemas in 1935, and they in turn were taken over by ABC Cinemas in 1937. In August 1954 ABC closed the cinema which was then used as a community centre, including live theatre, and was later a Regional Film Theatre for the British Film Institute. With its closure in 1983, Horsham District Council purchased a former ABC cinema on North Street, which had opened in 1936, and developed it into the Horsham Arts Centre. This opened to the public at Christmas 1984. After nearly 20 years Horsham Arts Centre closed in January 2002; a following £6 million refurbishment was completed by September 2003. The venue houses a 400-seat theatre, studio theatre, two cinema screens, gallery space, meeting room, café and lounge bar. The original Capitol Theatre was demolished. The new site was opened by HM Elizabeth II on 24 October 2003. On 26 January 2008, Barney, Baby Bop, BJ and their new friend Riff performed here in Barney Live! - The Let's Go Tour in honor of Barney's 20th Anniversary.

The Castle, Castle Eden

The Castle at Castle Eden, County Durham, England, is an 18th-century, Palladian style, mansion house and a Grade II* listed building. No trace remains of the medieval castle of Robert the Bruce. The historic listing states that "by 1678, Sir William Bromley owned the manor" and that in 1758, "William Throckmorton Bromley, sold the property to Rowland Burdon". At that time, "the estate was in poor condition and unenclosed, the chapel was in ruins and the mansion house had gone". Burdon enclosed the land, erected a church and built the manor house. The Burdon family of Castle Eden had their origins in Stockton on Tees, where the first Rowland Burdon was mayor nine times in the 17th century. His great-grandson Rowland Burdon III, a merchant banker, purchased the manor of Castle Eden in 1758, and in about 1765, with the assistance of architect William Newton, built the house which came to be known as The Castle. The house has three storeys and a seven-bay entrance front, and encompasses 15,102 square feet (1,403.0 m2). The central three bays are canted and the whole carries a castellated parapet. His grandson, Rowland Burdon V, was Member of Parliament for County Durham from 1790 to 1806, and his son Rowland VI was resident in 1861 and recorded in the census of that year as a farmer of 352 acres (1.42 km2). In 1881 the census records the resident as Rev John Burdon, a widower with two children and ten servants. In about 1863 the entrance frontage was enhanced by the addition of a single-storey six-bayed palmhouse, and in 1893 a north wing was added. Later Rowland Burdens served as High Sheriff of Durham in 1872 and 1907. The property was for sale in late 2020, with 14 acres of land; the castle then included 11 bedrooms and 15,102 square feet of space. Extensive restoration had been completed over the previous two decades. An article about the castle stated that "the dungeon is accessed via stone steps from the ground floor and includes many different rooms that span the entire footprint of the Castle".

Castle Inn

The Castle Inn is a public house in West Lulworth, Dorset, England, which dates from the 16th century. It was originally called The Green Man, and later The Jolly Sailor. As of 2014, the pub is a popular traditional pub and hotel. The Castle Inn has a focus upon traditional real ales, real ciders and fresh food. History The pub has changed names many times during its history. It has been known as both the Green Man and the Traveller's Rest at various points. It is currently named after the early 17th century hunting lodge Lulworth Castle, situated in East Lulworth. An 1846 document held by the Dorset History Centre amongst the papers of the brewers White and Bennett of Wareham notes that it was then called The Jolly Sailor and formerly called The Lugger. In Dorset Pubs & Breweries, Tim Edgell states that the pub dates back 400 years, and that it was a homebrew pub in the 19th century. Its name was changed from The Jolly Sailor in about 1860 - it was still The Jolly Sailor in 1859, but was Castle Inn in the 1861 and subsequent censuses. It is a Grade II listed building, described by English Heritage as being probably 18th century. Cider The West Country is known for its cider but many pubs in the area are tied houses and so only stock a limited range. The Castle Inn is a free house and stocks many different varieties including "real cider". Cider in the UK is legally allowed to contain as little as 35% apple juice (fresh or from concentrate). CAMRA says that "real cider" must be at least 90% fresh apple juice. Real cider is an artisanal product made in the traditional way from pure fresh apple juice, and local examples offered include Dorset Tit from the Marshwood Vale. Reviews and awards In Slow Dorset, Alexandra Richards comments that the inn is known for its food and range of local beers, as well as being very dog-friendly. The inn was recommended by Lesley Gillilan, writing in The Guardian in 2013, as worthy of investigation for its cider alone. In 2014, the inn was recognised by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) as their Cider Pub of the Year. CAMRA said, "Their commitment to real cider and perry is second to none and the quality of drinks they have in the pub at any one time is truly staggering. As well as that the pub is a beautiful place to enjoy a drink, with all the country charm you could hope for." See also Lulworth Cove External links Official website References
The Castle School

The Castle School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, England, which serves the town and the surrounding villages. Pupils from Bristol also attend the school. There are around 1,500 pupils, including 300 in the sixth form. The school site on Park Road has seen additions in recent years including the community sports centre, the Octagon Drama Studio and in 2024 a new Post-16 Centre and a 20-classroom Maths and Science building. Former headmaster Adrian Verwoert was appointed a CBE for services to education in May 2004. Joining the school in 1980, he was appointed as head in 1988. He was succeeded by Melanie Warnes in September 2004. She left in 2014. History In 1862, Handel Cossham, a local preacher, built the original village school, a British School, at Gillingstool. Some years later, because of overcrowding, a new infant school building was added adjacent to the original school. In 1952 the school was separated into infants, juniors and seniors and the latter formed the Thornbury County Secondary school. Before this it was an 'all-age' school taking pupils up to age thirteen, known as Thornbury Council School. In 1962, during the headship of Mr Cliff J. Martin, plans were drawn up for a new building to house the expanding secondary school. Building work started the following year on Park Road, the site used as the school's playing field. In 1965, the building was opened under the new name of The Castle School, which reflected the school's new position adjacent to Thornbury Castle, whilst keeping the same initials (TCS). The official opening ceremony took place in 1966, attended by the Duke of Beaufort, Chancellor at the University of Bristol at the time. The county infant and junior schools at Gillingstool later formed the Leaze School, which is now known as Gillingstool Primary School. The school became a comprehensive in 1972, the same year that Thornbury Grammar School moved from its site on Gloucester Road to new buildings in Alveston (also becoming a comprehensive with the new name of Marlwood School). The Castle School took over the Gloucester Road buildings, which became its Sixth Form Centre for a number of years until the new Post-16 facilities opened in 2024 and the school was able to unite on the Park Road site.
