Gallerie del museo di giustizia

Le Gallerie del Museo di Giustizia (conosciute anche come Shire Hall) sono un museo privato e un ente benefico di Nottingham, Regno Unito, situate sulla High Pavement nel quartiere Lace Market. Le aule di tribunale, ivi locate, risalgono al XIV secolo mentre il carcere risale almeno al 1449. Le prigioni sono ancora lì. Vi era anche una stazione di polizia funzionante dal 1905 al 1985 chiusa nel 1986. Il museo è ospitato in quello che una volta era un tribunale vittoriano, una galera e stazione di polizia ed è quindi il luogo storico in cui un individuo avrebbe potuto essere arrestato, condannato e giustiziato. Il museo sta sperimentando da aprile 2012 l'uso dei codici QRpedia.

Galton Valley Canal Heritage Centre

Galton Valley Canal Museum is a small museum, located in Smethwick, England, on the border with Birmingham and alongside the BCN Main Line canals. The Museum tells the story of the development of the Galton Valley canals and those who designed, built and worked on them. In 2009 it won the Silver award in the 'Best Small Visitor Attraction' at the Black Country Tourism Awards. In 2011 the museum moved from premises on Brasshouse Lane Smethwick to the New Smethwick Pumping Station, which is opened occasionally by Sandwell Museum Service and The Friends of Galton Valley. Because of the limited space at the pumping station, many of the artifacts from the original museum were moved to the Smethwick Heritage Centre in Victoria Park. New Smethwick Pumping Station The New Smethwick Pumping Station is situated between the Birmingham Old and New Main Line Canals. It first opened in 1892 with the purpose of pumping water from the lower Birmingham New Main Line to the high Old Main Line Canal to replace the water lost from the higher level when boats went through the Smethwick locks. The station only had a short working life, closing in the mid 1920s due to reduced traffic on the canals. Apart from a short period during the Second World War the building sat empty until it was restored and opened as part of the Galton Valley Canal Heritage Centre in the late 1980s. When new the Pumping Station replaced two wooden beam engines which were situated at Bridge Street and Spon Lane in Smethwick. The site in Bridge Street was the original home of James Watt's Smethwick Engine. While Watt's engine can now be seen in the Think Tank Museum in Birmingham, tours of the original site can be organised through the museum in Galton Valley.

Garrick's Villa

Garrick's Villa is a Grade I listed country house located on Hampton Court Road in Hampton in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Its park and gardens are listed at Grade II by Historic England in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England. The house was originally constructed in the Middle Ages. The country house was initially listed as Hampton House prior to its acquisition by the actor and theatre manager David Garrick (1717–1779) in about 1754. Numerous alterations were made to it during Garrick's tenure by the neoclassical architect Robert Adam (1728–1792), including the portico, the building of an orangery and the construction of a tunnel under the road to connect with his riverside lawn. A wing was added to the west side of the house in 1864. In the late 19th century, the house belonged first to the preacher John Chippendall Montesquieu Bellew (1823–1874) and then to his son, the actor Kyrle Bellew (1850–1911). During the early part of the 20th century the house was the family home of Sir (James) Clifton Robinson (1848–1910), Managing Director and Chief Engineer of London United Tramways, and a single private tram track leading into the grounds was constructed. The house was converted into flats in 1922 and redeveloped again in 1969. On 25 October 2008, during building works on the house, a fire broke out and was brought under control five hours later.

Garrick’s Ait

Garrick’s Ait (oder Garrick’s Eyot auf den Karten der Ordnance Survey), vorher auch Shank’s Eyot genannt, ist ein Werder in der Themse in England flussaufwärts vom Molesey Lock. Geographie Die Insel liegt 330 m flussaufwärts von Tagg’s Island. Auf der Insel gibt es 20 Häuser und sie war ursprünglich in 26 Parzellen eingeteilt, doch zwei davon einschließlich des Ostendes der Insel waren immer mit Bäumen bewachsene Anlegeplätze, und zwei der ungefähr gleich großen Parzellen sind zusammengefasst worden. Die Insel ist nur mit dem Boot zugänglich. Geschichte Garrick’s Ait ist nach dem Schauspieler David Garrick benannt worden, dessen Temple to Shakespeare und Garrick’s Villa unweit entfernt am Ufer der Themse liegen. Es ist damit die einzige Insel im Vereinigten Königreich, die nach einem Schauspieler benannt wurde. Wie auf vielen anderen Inseln der Themse wurden auf ihr Trauerweiden angepflanzt, als diese im 18. Jahrhundert ins Land kamen. Das Holz wurde für Cricketschläger, Paddel, Leitern, Gewehrkolben und Zaunpfähle benutzt. Die Äste wurde zur Herstellung von Körben oder in der Befestigung von Flussufern verwendet. Siehe auch Liste der Inseln in der Themse Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Garrick's Ait

Garrick's Ait (or Garrick's Eyot on Ordnance Survey maps), previously known as Shank's Eyot, is an ait in the River Thames in England on the reach above Molesey Lock, the nearest land being Moulsey Hurst (park) on the Surrey bank and the opposite bank being a much narrower riverside park of Hampton. It is the only island in the United Kingdom named after an actor. Geography It is 330 m upstream from Tagg's Island which is more than twice the width and length. On the island are 20 houses, it being historically divided into 26 plots, but two of these, including the eastern tip, have always been trees and mooring space, respectively. Two of the approximately equal-sized plots, with few exceptions, have been combined into one. It is inaccessible except by boat. History Garrick's Ait is named after David Garrick, the actor whose Temple to Shakespeare and Villa (house) are on the Hampton bank and as such is the only island in the country named after an actor. In common with most Thames islands near developed places, it became used for growing and harvesting willow/weeping willow trees when they arrived in the country in the 18th century. Wood from pollarding could be used for cricket bats, paddles, ladders, gun stocks, crates and poles for fences. Harvested branches, called osiers, are strong, flexible and resistant to rot – they were used for fish traps, basket making and for reinforcing riverbanks.

Gas Retort House

The Gas Retort House (grid reference SP062865) at 39 Gas Street, Birmingham, England is the last remaining building of Birmingham's first gas works. It was rediscovered in 1992 during a proposed redevelopment of land on Gas Street when the city planning department noticed the unusual roof design of cast iron trusses and wrought iron rods. The building is licensed for Church of England worship and known as Gas Street Central. History Following a tender in 1816 by the Street Commissioners for the provision of gas street lighting the only respondent, John Gosling of London, was engaged to supply 10 streets. He formed the Birmingham Gas Light and Coke Company and built his first works on Gas Street in 1817-18 using gas plant installed by Samuel Clegg, the first expert in gas engineering. Clegg was apprenticed to William Murdoch at the Boulton and Watt Company and in 1813 was the first engineer at the Chartered Gas Light and Coke Company, building the first public gas works in Westminster. The retort house, the place where the town gas was manufactured by heating coal in the absence of air, was built next to the canal in 1822 to replace the original Clegg plant together with a new gas holder (storage tank) and coal store. It was designed by Alexander Smith. The works closed in 1850, retaining the four 52 foot gas holders, which were fed by other factories. The whole site closed in 1879 following Joseph Chamberlain's 1875 municipalisation of the Birmingham gas companies. The building was refurbished in 1998–9 by Crosby Homes (Adrian Unitt and Kevin Cooper) using Richard Johnson & Associates as architects as a non-residential office, leisure or workshop space. It is a Grade II* listed building. The adjoining land that housed the gas holders was redeveloped at the same time for exclusive apartments. In 2010 the building was declared to be "at risk" by English Heritage. It was removed from the at risk status in 2011 following refurbishment by the then owners Ashtenne. The structure was unoccupied at the time and was put up for sale. The retort house was purchased by The Church of England in December 2014 as a second place of worship in the Parish of St Luke's. It underwent a comprehensive renovation, led by APEC Architects. This included renovation of the adjoining buildings on the site to form a 450-person capacity main auditorium, along with a foyer/ cafe fronting Gas Street, and ancillary offices in a block facing Bridge Street. It is the main venue for a Resourcing Church, in partnership with Holy Trinity Brompton and the Birmingham diocese, and is targeted to reach Birmingham's students and young adults.
