In 1969 former deputy head, Mary Stamp, organised a campaign to protest against comprehensive schools. In February 1971, Lindsey County Council decided to keep the grammar school, as it was; but Lindsey County Council was discontinued after April 1974, and the new county council chose not to keep the school.

Bentall Centre, Kingston upon Thames

The Bentall Centre is a large shopping centre in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London, England, which opened in 1992. It has been built in the retail space of Bentalls department store, first established on the site in 1867. Bentalls retained a large, premium department store in the development which has since been rebranded to Fenwick. The centre is located adjacent to John Lewis Kingston, as well as the historic market town centre. There are 75 stores within the centre. History and development In 1987, construction began on creating a new Bentalls department store and shopping centre. This new development was to include a five level department store and a four level adjoining shopping centre including over 100 retail units. A pedestrian bridge across the Kingston Relief Road allowed access to and from the multi-storey car parks to the shopping centre. The development took five years to complete and was built in two phases, allowing the existing department store to trade throughout the development period on a reduced footprint. The first phase, the 'new' department store opened in July 1990. The completed shopping centre was opened in November 1992 by Edward Bentall (descendant of Frank Bentall) and Nick Price from Norwich Union with a floor area of 600,000 sq ft (55,742 m2). In 2012, it was reported that the centre is owned by the London-based Dutch privately held real estate investment company Meyer Bergman. Current operations Stores Major stores in the centre include Bentalls, Apple, Zara, H&M, Waterstones, EE, Vodafone and WHSmith. Unique features The shopping centre's atrium ceiling is higher than the nave of Westminster Abbey or the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. The original department store's 1935 façade designed by Maurice Webb was retained. Another notable feature of the centre is an escalator that travels from the ground to the second floor. It is the largest single-truss escalator in the world, supported only at the top and bottom. When opened, a statue of Leonard Bentall by William Reid Dick was placed on the top floor looking down across the whole centre. However, when Fenwick bought the department store in 2001, they moved it to a secondary location as they believed it affected the sight lines into the store. On opening, the Bentall Centre was the first shopping centre in the UK to adopt a "no smoking" policy throughout. Gallery References External links Official website

Byfleet Manor

Byfleet Manor is a Grade II* listed house in Byfleet, Surrey, England. Byfleet Manor has been used as a filming location in three television series, most notably Downton Abbey. History Byfleet Manor's precursor was a royal hunting lodge given by Edward II to Piers Gaveston, his reputed lover. Anne of Denmark, wife of King James I, the house's last royal owner, commissioned a fresh house here in 1617. She kept horses sent by her brother Christian IV in the park, and spent at least £250 on the house. However, she died before the work was finished. According to John Aubrey, the house was completed by the courtier James Fullerton. The front walls and gate piers, which can still be seen today, date from that time. A detailed ownership and account of royal rights is set out in sources covering this period of history, such as the Feet of Fines and the Assize Rolls kept in the royal collections and The National Archives, but which is well summarised in, for example, the Victoria County History. A rebuilding followed in 1685 as the Jacobean house was reported to be ruinous. This change led to a much smaller building. In 1672 the lands were granted to Lord Holles and others to hold in trust for Queen Catherine of Braganza for her life, and afterwards for Charles II of England and his heirs. In 1694 Sir John Buckworth, lord of the manor of Byfleet, was accused of neglect in repairing a bridge over the Wey. It was found, however, that he was not responsible for such repair, as he was only a "termer for years" in the manor under a "lease made by the late queen mother's trustees." There is very little trace of the manor for about a century after this. An Enclosure Award, privatising fields, was made in 1811 for 780 acres (3.2 km2) in the parish, including common fields of Byfleet Manor, i.e. formerly whose profits were shared between its owner, tenants and subtenants. The house remained virtually unaltered until 1905, when it was restored and enlarged with the addition of asymmetrical wings. The scant modern vestiges of the ancient manorial rights were sold to a firm of solicitors in that decade. In February 2013, a hidden room was found within the home. The owners have allowed the patios and front rooms to be hired to host 1920s-themed tea parties. Filming location Byfleet has been used as a filming location including; Downton Abbey, Agatha Christie's Poirot: After the Funeral, Cranford and Into the Woods. References
Byfleet Manor

Byfleet Manor est une maison classée Grade II * à Byfleet, Surrey, Angleterre. Byfleet Manor est utilisé comme lieu de tournage dans trois séries télévisées, notamment Downton Abbey. Histoire Le précurseur de Byfleet Manor est un pavillon de chasse royal donné par Édouard II à Pierre Gaveston, son amant présumé . Anne de Danemark, épouse du roi Jacques Ier, dernier propriétaire royal de la maison, commande une nouvelle maison en 1617. Elle garde des chevaux envoyés par son frère Christian IV dans le parc et dépense au moins 250 £ pour la maison. Cependant, elle est décédée avant la fin des travaux. Les murs de façade et les piliers du portail, encore visibles aujourd'hui, datent de cette époque . Une reconstruction a lieu en 1685 car la maison jacobine a été ruinée. Ce changement conduit à un bâtiment beaucoup plus petit. En 1672, les terres sont accordées à Francis Holles et à d'autres pour les détenir en fiducie pour la reine Catherine de Bragance, puis pour Charles II d'Angleterre et ses héritiers. En 1694, Sir John Buckworth, seigneur du manoir de Byfleet, est accusé de négligence dans la réparation d'un pont sur la Wey. Il est constaté, cependant, qu'il n'est pas responsable de ces réparations, car il n'est qu'un «termer pendant des années» dans le manoir en vertu d'un «bail conclu par les fiduciaires de feu la reine mère». Il reste très peu de traces du manoir pendant environ un siècle après cela. Une Enclosure, privatisant les champs, est faite en 1811 pour 780 acres dans la paroisse, comprenant les terrains communs de Byfleet Manor, c'est-à-dire autrefois dont les bénéfices étaient partagés entre son propriétaire, ses locataires et ses sous-locataires. La maison reste pratiquement inchangée jusqu'en 1905, date à laquelle elle est restaurée et agrandie avec l'ajout d'ailes asymétriques. Les rares vestiges modernes des anciens droits seigneuriaux sont vendus à un cabinet d'avocats au cours de cette décennie . En février 2013, une pièce cachée est découverte dans la maison . Les propriétaires autorisent la location des patios et des pièces avant pour accueillir des goûters sur le thème des années 1920 . Elle sert de maison de douaire dans Downton Abbey d'ITV, ainsi que dans l'adaptation télévisée de Poirot d'Agatha Christie : After the Funeral et dans la série télévisée Cranford de la BBC . Dans la production Disney Into the Woods en 2014, son extérieur est utilisé comme maison de Cendrillon .
