De Lank Quarries

De Lank Quarries (grid reference SX101753) is an active quarry and a 54-acre geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in St Breward parish, north Cornwall, England, UK. The quarry, which received its SSSI notification in 1994, takes its name from the nearby De Lank river. The quarry produces typical biotite granites and are of such quality that a slab now forms the base section of the reception desk at the Geological Society of London. Other notable structures built of De Lank granite are the fourth Eddystone Lighthouse, 1882; the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, London and Portcullis House,the New Parliamentary Building in Whitehall, London Geology De Lank quarry is located on the edge of the igneous rocks that form the majority of Bodmin moor, with the change to slate formations occurring less than 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the west. The bedrock in the quarry is granite, predominantly biotite-bearing granites and aplogranite with some felsite intrusions. History In the 1950s the quarry was owned by T W Ward & Son Ltd. From the 1890s until 1950 there was a connection from the quarry to the Bodmin and Wadebridge railway at Wenfordbridge. To achieve this one of the sidings at Wenfordbridge extended on a sharp curve across a road and then over several fields before going down a rope-worked incline to the quarry below. Originally horses were used to haul wagons on this private line from Wenfordbridge, but between 1926 and 1950 it was worked by an 0-4-0 simplex locomotive. The incline had three rails with the centre rail common between the upward and downward lines, and worked on the balance principle with the weight of the wagons going down the slope acting to haul the upward-bound wagons. Use of the incline, and despatch of stone via the railway, ceased around 1940, although the line was not officially closed until 1950. Within the quarry itself there was a 2 ft (610 mm) line which brought stone to the foot of the incline. In 1961 a small 0-4-0 petrol-engined locomotive was purchased from Tregoneeves Quarry near St Austell when it closed, and in 1963 an 0-4-0 diesel locomotive was also acquired. However neither the petrol locomotive, an Orenstein & Koppel of 1930s vintage, or the diesel appear to have been a success and both were scrapped in December 1965.

Marston's Stadium är en fotbollsarena i Hinckley, Leicestershire, England. Den var hemmaplan för Hinckley United FC fram tills den upplöstes i oktober 2013. Den är numera hemmaplan för the Leicester Falcons American Football team. Historia När den nybildade fotbollsklubben Hinckley United började spela sina matcher 1997 spelade man på Middlefield Lane. Fastän den klarade kraven för spel i Southern Football League och Conference North så var den gammal och det skulle krävas mycket arbete för att uppgradera den till en ännu högre standard. Hinckley United arbetade under två år med finansiering, ordna mark och att bygga den nya stadion och 2005 var fas 1 färdig. Marston's Brewery skrev på ett 10-årigt sponsoravtal för arenan och den kom därför att kallas Marston's Stadium. Avtalet upplöstes i förtid i december 2008, klubben presenterade en ny sponsor Greene King Brewery i januari 2009 och stadion döptes då om till the Greene King Stadium. Det avtalet avslutades när säsongen 2012-13 var slut och stadion döptes då om till Leicester Road Stadium. Totalt omfattar anläggningen 22 acres och inkluderar 3 planer i fullstorlek, 2 planer som har ¾ dels storlek, 3 planer som är halvplan och en allvädersplan med belysning. Anläggningens stora juvel Marston's Stadium, som kan ta 4329 åskådare är byggd för fotboll, har ett gym, en idrottsskadeklinik och en klubb. Den första matchen spelades den 5 mars 2005 mot Stalybridge Celtic. Matchen slutade 1-1 inför över 2.000 åskådare. Fas 1 färdig 2005, the Main Stand, The East Stand och the North Stand. Fas 2 färdig 2007, the Junior och allvädersplanens omklädningsrum vid the West End. Fas 3 kommer att omfatta 400 sittplatser under tak vid West End. Fas 4 om det behövs byggs ståplatsläktarna ut för att öka kapaciteten till 6.000 åskådare.
De Stafford School

de Stafford School is a mixed secondary school located in Caterham, Surrey, England. The school educates students from ages 11 to 16. Organisation de Stafford is close to the centre of the scattered town of Caterham, bordering on two sides the south-western part of the London Borough of Croydon. Previously a foundation school administered by Surrey County Council, in December 2016 de Stafford School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by GLF Schools. The school employs more than 100 academic and facilities/administration support staff. It currently has an average intake of 180 students per year. Acting as a preliminary school to more advanced, applied or theoretical studies at further education colleges, the nearest such state-supported institutions are in Purley, Croydon and Redhill. The school helps students in their final year to apprentice at a skilled trade or profession. The school has access to a large sports centre (shared with Tandridge Trust), complete with a 25m swimming pool and an air-conditioned sports hall. History A parish school was opened in 1804. After enlargements this was superseded by Caterham County Council school that was built in 1872 and enlarged in 1893 and 1909. The school has its origins in this institution and derives its name from a wealthy and politically influential mediaeval noble who owned one of the manors of the former village in 1372, Ralph de Stafford, 1st Earl of Stafford, whose wealthy wife Margaret de Audley, 2nd Baroness Audley owned as co-heir a large set of estates before their marriage, including this land. Students The make-up of students varies according to a wide set of catchment areas drawing on parts of the London Borough of Croydon, Tandridge District and a small part of the Borough of Reigate and Banstead. In 2011 the proportion of students with learning difficulties and/or disabilities was below average, however it was above average when compared with students with a Statement of Special Educational Needs. In 2013 6.4% of children at the school did not list English as their primary language. In statistics Due to a franchised sixth form in Purley included in the roll in 2003, the number of students at the time of that inspection was 990. Head teachers Transport The school is connected by bus to the most significant residential estates of the settlements surrounding Caterham and to the largest mixed use urban areas, such as Croydon, Coulsdon and Purley town centres.

Deadwater, Northumberland

Deadwater is a small settlement in the civil parish of Kielder, in Northumberland, England, about 3 miles (5 km) north west of Kielder, on the English side of the border between Scotland and England. It is regarded as the source of the River North Tyne, which merges with the River South Tyne near Hexham, and continues around 93 miles/150 km to the North Sea. Governance Deadwater is in the parliamentary constituency of Hexham. Transport Deadwater was served by Deadwater railway station on the Border Counties Railway which linked the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, near Hexham, with the Border Union Railway at Riccarton Junction. The first section of the route was opened between Hexham and Chollerford in 1858, the remainder opening in 1862. The line was closed to passengers by British Railways in 1956. Part of the line is now beneath the surface of Kielder Water. The station still stands and looks little different from the days when it was open. It is now in use as a private house.

Dean's Yard

Dean's Yard, Westminster, comprises most of the remaining precincts of the historically greater scope of the monastery or abbey of Westminster, not occupied by its buildings. It is known to members of Westminster School as Green (referred to without an article). It is a large gated quadrangle, closed to public traffic, chiefly a green upon which the pupils have the long-use acquired exclusive rights to sit, read and to play games such as football (they have some claim to have invented the modern game). For some centuries until a point in the early seventeenth century it was a third of its present size, since to the south stood the Queen's Scholars' dormitory, which was in monastic times the granary. Its stones support Church House. Adjoining buildings East: school buildings South: Church House, a conference centre and offices of the Church of England West: school buildings and Westminster Abbey Choir School North: flanking archway to the Great Sanctuary: Abbey offices and part of the Deanery. Historically the Abbey was one of the last ecclesiastical escape sanctuaries to surrender ancient rights such as sanctuary. Over centuries, residents included many politically disfavoured and dangerous inhabitants. They were held in check by the Abbot's own penal jurisdiction, and by the knowledge that the Abbot could instantly expel them to meet their fate at the hands of common law. The Abbey Gatehouse was split into two prisons: one belonging to the Abbot and one for the constables outside. Westminster School displays a royal pardon from Charles II of England and Scotland to the King's Scholars, whose actions killed a bailiff harassing the mistress of one of them in Dean's Yard, accused by his fellow authorities of murder. Whether he was excused for reacting to the breach of some vestigial sanctuary, in stark contrast to the English Commonwealth where such rights were undeniably defunct, or for a moderate degree of violence that may have been used, such as might have resulted in a manslaughter charge were the victim not a bailiff, is unrecorded. The Abbey's Sanctuary extended beyond, as far as the north side of Parliament Square to a short approach, Thieving Lane, through which thieves were taken to the prison (see Richard II's gatehouse, Old Palace Yard) without entering sanctuary and being able to claim its immunity, but in the tenements of which prostitution took hold. HM Treasury is built upon its site, leading to accusations that thieving still continues there, especially at times of higher taxation or departmental cuts.

Dean's Yard

Dean's Yard, à Westminster, comprend la plupart des vestiges de l'ancien monastère de Westminster, non occupés par les bâtiments de l'abbaye. Il est connu des membres de la Westminster School sous le nom de Green et est mentionné sans article. C'est un grand quadrilatère clos, fermé à la circulation publique, entourant un green sur lequel les élèves de la Westminster School ont légalement le droit de jouer au football (certains prétendent même y avoir inventé le jeu moderne). Histoire Des fouilles archéologiques ont montré que le terrain avait été gagné, par assèchement, sur les marais de Shrub Island, au cours de la période saxonne. Les fondations des bâtiments actuels montrent le remploi de pierres provenant de constructions monastiques datant du milieu du XIe siècle. Un squelette de vache a également été exhumé. Jusqu'au XVIIe siècle, le Green représentait un tiers de sa taille actuelle, car au sud se trouvait le dortoir des érudits de la reine, qui était à l'époque monastique un grenier : ses pierres soutiennent toujours Church House. Le côté est comprend les bâtiments occupés par la Westminster School ; le sud par Church House, siège de l'Église d'Angleterre ; l'Ouest par plusieurs bâtiments scolaires et la Westminster Abbey Choir School ; et le nord par l'arcade menant au grand sanctuaire, aux bureaux de l'abbaye et à une partie du doyenné. Historiquement, l'abbaye de Westminster a été l'un des derniers sanctuaires ecclésiastiques à renoncer à ses anciens droits, de sorte que l'enceinte était en grande partie occupée par la plupart des habitants indésirables et dangereux. La juridiction pénale de l'abbé les tenait en échec et sachant que l'abbé pouvait immédiatement les expulser du destin aux mains du droit coutumier: l'abbaye Gatehouse était scindée en deux prisons, celle de l'abbé et celle des agents de police à l'extérieur. Le sanctuaire de l'abbaye s'étendait au-delà de la cour du doyen, jusqu'au côté nord de Parliament Square. Il n’est pas souvent mentionné le fait que le Trésor britannique est construit sur le site de cette voie. Références Voir aussi Westminster School Portail de Londres
Dean Mills Reservoir

Dean Mills Reservoir is a small water reservoir to the north of the town of Bolton, Greater Manchester located high on the slopes of Winter Hill. The reservoir was constructed above the village of Barrow Bridge by John and Robert Lord. “The Lord Brothers opened a mill there in the late 18th Century using Crompton's spinning mules. With the success of this operation they built a water-powered mill further down the valley and carried out ambitious waterworks including the construction of a reservoir, waterfall and sluices to power the mill.” The dark brown appearance of the water in the reservoir is due to discolouration from the surrounding peat that naturally drains into the reservoir. It was put up for sale by auction in March 2018. References
Dean Park Cricket Ground

Dean Park is a cricket ground in Bournemouth, England. It was formerly used by Hampshire and Dorset County Cricket Clubs. It was bought by Park School in 2014. History The first match played at Dean Park was between Bournemouth Cricket Club and a team of artillery officers in June 1871. Dean Park has hosted 343 first-class matches since 1897, but none since 1992. There have also been 77 List A games at the ground, the most recent being in 2010. One women's One-day International, between Young England and Australia, was staged at Dean Park as part of the inaugural Women's Cricket World Cup in 1973. on Tuesday 26 November 1878 Bournemouth F.C. participated in one of the first floodlit matches, when they played under experimental electric lights at Dean Park for "a grand exhibition of the new electric light". In 1888 the club moved to Dean Park and changed their name to Bournemouth Dean Park. Following changes to county borders that transferred Bournemouth from Hampshire to Dorset, Dorset County Cricket Club began using the ground in the 1980s, although Hampshire also continued to use the ground until 1992. From 1994 to 2015 it was the main ground for Dorset. The ground was also used by Bournemouth University, who took on the lease of the ground in 1995. The ground was sold to Park School in 2014 who currently use it for sport days and a nursery.

Deanery High School

The Deanery Church of England High School and Sixth Form College is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. It is a Church of England voluntary aided school. The school's campus is located near the town centre, very close to Wigan bus station and the main Royal Mail sorting office. History The school opened in 1971 as a successor to All Saints School, which was founded in 1931. It was previously housed mainly in former All Saints buildings; however, starting in summer 2015 most of these old buildings were demolished in order to make way for a new £20 million build, funded under the Government's Priority Schools' Building Programme (PSBP). The classrooms, offices and other facilities once housed in the now demolished buildings were relocated into temporary buildings at the rear of the school near its all-weather pitch, with the first new buildings to be occupied in September 2017, after which the rest of the old buildings were to be demolished. The school's sports hall was also renovated, with the classrooms in that building, formerly used for English, now housing a new music department, featuring two larger classrooms, a recording studio, an office for the heads of the performing arts and PE departments and a staff work room for the two departments. Academics The Deanery High School has a 6th Form College, offering A-Levels as well as Level 2 and 3 BTEC courses. Until 2017, the school offered Latin at GCSE level; it had previously also been an A-Level subject. The 2022 OFSTED report said the school is "good".

Deanhead Reservoir

Deanhead Reservoir is a reservoir near Scammonden, in the metropolitan district of Kirklees, West Yorkshire, England. It is named after Dean Head, a village that was mostly submerged during construction of the dam. Construction started in 1838 and it opened a year later, almost 140 years before Scammonden Reservoir (its downstream neighbour) was opened in 1971. Water flowing out of Deanhead forms Black Burne Brook which now feeds into Scammonden Water. Deanhead reservoir was originally constructed to supply water to the factories in the Blackburn Valley that was downstream of the reservoir. During the 1995 drought, the outlines of foundations of buildings in the village were visible. Deanhead also is the name of a Pennine pass to the south of the reservoir, which carries the A640 from Huddersfield to Denshaw, following the course of a Roman road. References
