Clapham Common (metropolitana di Londra)

Clapham Common è una stazione della metropolitana di Londra, situata sulla linea Northern. Storia La stazione si trova sulla punta orientale del parco di Clapham Common. È stata aperta al pubblico a giugno del 1900 come capolinea meridionale della City & South London Railway (CSLR), nel nuovo tratto prolungato da Stockwell. Sottoposta a lavori di ricostruzione tra il 1923 e il 1924, nel 1926 è divenuta una stazione di passaggio della diramazione di Morden della linea Northern. La stazione ha due entrate, una ad ovest attraverso un edificio a cupola degli anni '20 e una ad est attraverso un padiglione moderno in vetro e acciaio. L'edificio è un monumento classificato dal 1981. Quella di Clapham Common è una delle otto stazioni della metropolitana di Londra dotate di un rifugio antiaereo risalente alla Seconda guerra mondiale. Entrambe le due entrate del rifugio di Clapham Common si trovano a nord della stazione, su Clapham High Street. Interscambi Nelle vicinanze della stazione effettuano fermata alcune linee urbane automobilistiche, gestite da London Buses. Fermata autobus Nella cultura di massa A settembre 2016, per due settimane tutti i manifesti pubblicitari della stazione sono stati sostituiti da foto di gatti. Questa iniziativa è partita da un'organizzazione chiamata The Citizens Advertising Takeover Service (C.A.T.S) e sovvenzionata dal sito di crowdfunding Kickstarter. A gennaio 2017, in seno all'iniziativa Veganuary, il PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) ha tappezzato la stazione di manifesti per informare i pendolari e spingerli a provare il veganesimo per un mese.

Lydney Town Hall

Lydney Town Hall is a municipal structure in the High Street, Lydney, Gloucestershire, England. The structure, which is used as an events venue, is listed by the local authority as a "building of local architectural or historical interest". History In the 1880s, following significant population growth associated with the town's role as a port for the shipment of coal and timber, a group of local businessmen decided to form a company to finance and to erect a town hall. The land selected for the new building, which was to the immediate south of the market cross, was donated by the lord of the manor, Charles Bathurst (1837–1907) of Lydney Park. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the benefactor's son, Charles Bathurst (1867–1958), on 15 December 1888. It was designed by William Howard Seth-Smith in the Jacobethan style, built in rubble masonry and was officially opened by the benefactor's daughter, Mary Bathhurst, in September 1889. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto the corner of the High Street and Church Road; the central section of three bays, which was gabled, featured a recessed doorway with an ogee-shaped stone surround flanked by two-light mullioned windows. On the first floor there were two five-light mullioned windows and on the second floor there was a single five-light mullioned window. The outer bays were fenestrated on the ground floor by three-light mullioned windows and the gable was surmounted by a finial. Internally, the principal room was a large assembly hall with a sprung dance floor. After the area became a rural district in 1894, the new rural district council chose to make the town hall its main meeting place in 1898. The building was used as a Red Cross Voluntary Aid Detachment auxiliary hospital for wounded service personnel during the First World War and it was used as an ARP control centre during the Second World War. The town hall continued to serve as the local seat of government until the rural district council moved to purpose-built council offices in 1956: ownership of the building was then transferred to a board of trustees in 1957. The assembly room continued to be used for public events and performers there included the rock band, The Beatles, who gave a concert in August 1962. In 1968, ownership of the building passed to the parish council which, following local government reorganisation in 1974, became known as Lydney Town Council. References
Buffery Park

Buffery Park is a park of the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley, in the Paradise area of Dudley, West Midlands, England. It has a range of leisure facilities, including a tennis court, an outdoor gym and a football pitch. There is a community centre and, in a section of the park, a war memorial. Description History The park has an area of about 6 hectares (15 acres). It was formerly the site of Old Buffery Colliery; it was purchased from M & W Grazebrook in 1891, and opened in 1893 with a range of recreational facilities. The garden was maintained by council staff. For many years there was a conservatory, or Glass Pavilion; there were four tennis courts, a cycle track, a bowling green and a putting pitch. The Friends and Residents of Buffery Park was established in 2001, after concerns were raised about the deteriorating state of the park. The group carries out projects to improve the park, with assistance from funding bodies, and organises events. The park received a Green Flag Award in 2016. Grazebrook Memorial A section of the park has at its centre the Grazebrook Memorial, built between 1922 and 1923. It was created by Francis Grazebrook, of M & W Grazebrook, and dedicated to his son Charles, who died in 1915 during the Great War; it pays tribute to soldiers who served and died for their country during the war. The original cross, over 10 ft high, was damaged by lightning in 1960 and removed; a smaller cross was placed there in the 1990s. A cross made to the original design was installed in 2016. Paradise Centre The Paradise Centre, within the park, was originally a building of the Sons of Rest and opened in 1950. It re-opened in 1969 a community building, and renamed the Buffery Paradise Centre in 2012. It has seating up to 35; it may be hired for parties and meetings.

St Ives Guildhall

St Ives Guildhall is a municipal structure in Street An Pol, St Ives, Cornwall, England. The structure, which is the meeting place of St Ives Town Council, is a locally listed heritage asset. History The first municipal building in St Ives was a medieval guildhall in Fore Street which was completed in 1490. The local portreeve, John Payne, who held meetings in the old guildhall, was hanged as a rebel during the Prayer Book Rebellion in 1549. In the 1820s, civic leaders decided to demolish the old guildhall and replace it with a market hall. The new market hall, which included a lock-up on the ground floor and an assembly hall on the first floor, was completed in 1832: the area became a municipal borough with the building functioning as its headquarters in 1835. The assembly room was used as a courthouse as well as a civic meeting place. Following a significant increase in population, largely associated with the fishing industry, civic leaders decided that the town needed a purpose-built guildhall: the site they selected in Street An Pol, was occupied by a mansion known as The Retreat, which had been the home of the Anthony family and, later, of the Lanham family. In the late 19th century, James Lanham had opened an art gallery which was the genesis of the St Ives art colony. The new building was designed by a local architect, Geoffrey B. Drewitt, in the neoclassical style and built in ashlar stone. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Street An Pol; the central bay featured a deeply recessed doorway with a stone surround flanked by brackets supporting a wide wrought iron balcony which encompassed the centre three bays. The ground floor was fenestrated by rows of six small windows on either side of the central bay while the first floor was fenestrated by tall sash windows and there was a turret at roof level. Internally, the principal rooms were the main hall, the council chamber, the balcony room and the mayor's parlour. The council held its first meeting in the new building on 16 December 1940. The guildhall continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough council for much of the 20th century, but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Penwith District Council was formed in 1974. A visitor information centre was subsequently established in the guildhall, which also became the meeting place of St Ives Town Council. A bronze sculpture entitled Dual Form, designed by the sculptor, Dame Barbara Hepworth, who lived in St Ives, was unveiled outside the guildhall in 1966. In 2024, it was reported that the sculpture would be moved to Kresen Kernow in Redruth while the guildhall underwent renovation. Works of art in the guildhall include a painting by Mary McCrossan depicting an interior with a still life, and a painting by Robert Borlase Smart depicting a clipper in St Ives Bay as well as a smaller sculpture by Barbara Hepworth entitled Small Form.

Torre Clavell

La torre Clavell (in inglese Clavell Tower) si trova a Kimmeridge, villaggio e parrocchia civile dell'Inghilterra, appartenente alla contea del Dorset nella parte sud-orientale della Gran Bretagna. Si tratta in parte di un edificio stravagante e la sua costruzione risale al XVIII secolo. Storia Attorno alla metà del XVIII secolo in Inghilterra si iniziarono a costruire finte rovine ed edifici fantasiosi come torri, mura e castelli che, anche se di nuova costruzione, sembravano antichi. La torre Clavell è uno di questi capricci architettonici costruita dal reverendo John Richards Clavell nel 1830. La torre originale, alta circa 11 metri, venne edificata su una parete rocciosa a circa 100 metri sul livello del mare. Negli anni trenta del XX secolo venne utilizzata come punto di vedetta sino a quando venne semidistrutta da un incendio. La costa sulla quale venne costruita fu la prima area in Inghilterra ad essere dichiarata patrimonio naturale dell'umanità, ma la base scelta per le sue fondamenta si rivelò poco stabile e nel 2002 iniziarono i lavori per smantellare e ricostruire la torre lontano dal bordo della scogliera che stava franando. Descrizione Questa torre circolare a quattro piani si trova a sud dell'abitato di Kimmeridge, villaggio e parrocchia civile dell'Inghilterra, contea del Dorset, parte sud-orientale della Gran Bretagna. Si alza sulla scogliera che domina la baia ed è costituita dalla torre principale edificata in pietra naturale mentre le cornici delle finestre sono in mattoni. Il piano terra è circondato da un colonnato toscano e il tetto e il parapetto sono in pietra di Purbeck. La torre ha in tutto quattro piani. Nella cultura di massa La torre è stata d'ispirazione per il romanzo The Black Tower di P. D. James che nel 1975 vinse il premio Silver Dagger Award. Bene tutelato come edificio storico L'English Heritage ha classificato la torre Clavell come edificio storico di secondo grado col numero 1120474. Note Bibliografia (EN) P. D.

The Glade of Light

The Glade of Light is a memorial in Manchester, England, that commemorates the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing of 2017. It opened to the public on 5 January 2022 and an official opening event took place 10 May 2022. The memorial is in the form of a garden with a stone centrepiece inscribed with the names of the 22 victims. Individual 'memory capsules' commemorating each victim have been included in the memorial and are situated within the stone centrepiece. It was designed by landscape architects BCA Landscape and graphic designers Smiling Wolf on behalf of Galliford Try who completed the construction in 2021. The memorial is located between Chetham's School of Music and Manchester Cathedral. It is to be part of a series of improvements to Manchester's Medieval Quarter. The former leader of Manchester City Council, Richard Leese, said that the memorial "promises to be a beautiful tribute" and the memories of the victims "will endure and Manchester will never forget them". The council had described the memorial as "a tranquil garden space for remembrance and reflection". In December 2021, it was reported that the site for the memorial had been trespassed over after security barriers were removed. Reports of vandalism were passed to Greater Manchester Police. The memorial was vandalised on 9 February 2022, causing £10,000 of damage. A 24-year-old man admitted to the offence in April and was given a two-year community order on 22 June 2022.

Boulby Mine

Клівлендський калійний рудник (англ. Cleveland Potash Mine), також відомий як Рудник «Булбі» (англ. Boulby mine) — це копальня з видобування калійних солей, розташована на південний схід від села Булбі (Редкар і Клівленд, Англія). Станом на 2022 рік є єдиною копальнею у світі, що видобуває полігаліт. Історія копальні починається з 1968 року, коли компанії Cleveland Potash Ltd (дочірня компанія Imperial Chemical Industries, ICI) був наданий дозвіл на розробку калійної та кам'яної солі на ділянці площею 8200 га, яка простягалася від Броттона до Національного парку у Східному Клівленді. Будівництво копальні почалося у 1969 році із проведення двох стовбурів. ICI спільно володіла копальнею з Anglo American, а потім з De Beers, перш ніж право власності було передано компанії Israel Chemicals Ltd в 2002 році. У 1973 році розпочалося видобування сильвіну. Видобута руда складається з 35–45 % сильвіну (власне хлорид калію) та 45–55 % галіту (кам'яної солі або хлориду натрію). На початку 2016 року Boulby Mine першою в світі розпочала видобування полігаліту. Полігаліт (K2MgCa2(SO4)4·2H2O) — це природне багатоелементне добриво, що є джерелом калію, кальцію, магнію та сірки. Кам'яна сіль видобувається як побічний продукт і використовується по всьому регіону як антиожеледний засіб на дорогах взимку. Інші породи та мінерали видобуваються як відходи (пуста порода), але їх можуть шукати збирачі мінералів: наприклад, борацит, який зустрічається безпосередньо над калійними пластами. Підземна лабораторія Через свою глибину (1100 м) копальня "Булбі" стала вдалим місцем для розташування наукових лабораторій. Дослідження, які проводяться в Boulby Underground Laboratory, варіюються від пошуку темної матерії у Всесвіті до досліджень геології та геофізики, клімату, довкілля, життя в екстремальних середовищах на Землі та за її межами. Підземна лабораторія Булбі є підземною науковою національною установою Великої Британії та однією з небагатьох таких установ у світі. У Булбі понад два десятиліття проводяться експерименти з пошуку доказів існування частинок темної матерії, включаючи всесвітньо відомі проекти NAIAD, DRIFT, ZEPLIN і DM-Ice.

Cliffe Fort

Cliffe Fort ist eine britische Festungsanlage im Sumpfland des Dorfes Cliffe (Borough of Medway, Kent, South East England) am Ufer der Themse auf der Halbinsel Hoo. Direkt gegenüber, am linken Flussufer in ungefähr 1,5 km Entfernung steht das Coalhouse Fort. Geschichte In den 1860er-Jahren begann auf Betreiben der Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom die Errichtung des Forts im Sumpfgebiet vor Cliffe zu Küstenschutzzwecken. Das Fort war um 1870 fertiggestellt. Es war Teil eines Verteidigungsnetzes zum Schutz der britischen Hauptstadt London konzipiert. Der Bau erwies sich durch die Bodenverhältnisse als schwierig. Cliffe Fort wurde mit RML 12.5 inch 38 ton gun- und RML 11-inch-gun-Kanonen bewaffnet. Zwischen 1895 und 1906 führte man Modernisierungsmaßnahmen durch. Ein Großteil des Mauerwerks mit den Kasematten und die Schienen, auf denen die Kanonen-Protzen geschoben wurden, sind bis in die Gegenwart erhalten geblieben. 1890 wurden Abschussrampen für Brennan-Torpedos, die zur Verteidigung dienten, hinzugefügt. Bei Ebbe sind die Rampen sichtbar. Während des Ersten Weltkriegs stand Cliffe Fort unter Waffen, im Zweiten Weltkrieg fand es als Flugabwehr-Stützpunkt Verwendung. Gegenwärtig ist das Fort, das stark mit Pflanzen überwachsen ist, nur schwer zugänglich. Unweit vom Fort entfernt liegt am Strand das Wrack eines finnischen Schoners.

Doncaster Market

Doncaster Market lies in the centre of the city of Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, England. Early history The market was first chartered in 1248, and was held in and around the church of St Mary Magdalene. It expanded to cover a triangular square, north of the church, on the edge of the then-built-up area. The church was deconsecrated in 1548, and buildings gradually encroached on its churchyard. In 1756, a Butchers' Shambles and butter cross were constructed to the west of the former church, followed in 1778 by a New Shambles. In the 1780s, cattle sales in the market were gathered together, in Parsonage Yard. The Market Hall In 1845, most of the market buildings were demolished, including the former church. A new market hall was constructed in the middle of the cleared area. The new building was designed by John Butterfield, and was two storeys high, with a U-shaped plan. In 1870, more buildings were cleared, to permit the construction of the Doncaster Corn Exchange to infill the "U", and project to the front. The corn exchange was designed by William Watkins and is five bays wide, with red sandstone columns, and a large lunette window. Wool Market John Butterfield also designed a woollen market, on the north-east side of the marketplace. It is a 9-by-7 bay hall, constructed of brick and iron, with stalls arranged in four arcades. It was completed in 1863, and renovated in the 20th-century with replacement doors and glazing. It was restored in 2019, to house both stalls selling goods, and food stalls. During renovations, a Mediaeval well was discovered under the floor, which is now visible under glass. Later history In 1900, an underground cold store and public weighbridge were added to the market, and in 1908, the cattle market was extended, with an octagonal auction ring added. A single storey fish market was added to the rear of the original market hall in 1930. The complex was grade II* listed in 1950. In 1971, a plan proposed the relocation of the market, but this was not carried out. Instead, the marketplace was made a conservation area in 1974. The conservation area identified included the variety of two- and three-storey buildings surrounding the marketplace, including 18th- and 19th-century coaching inns, and 20th-century shops. In 1994, there was a major fire in the complex, following which it was restored. The restoration revealed the Mediaeval cemetery and some Roman pottery. By 2007, the northern end of the marketplace was used as a car park. At the time, Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council stated that "the market offers a wide range of goods, lively atmosphere and still draws the community into the market place. This is despite a local perception that the market is in decline". At the time, the main market days were Tuesday, Friday and Saturday. References External links Official website
