St George's Gardens

St George's Gardens is a public park in the King's Cross area of the former parish and borough of St Pancras, in the London Borough of Camden. History Its land was originally bought in 1713 to provide a joint burial ground for St George's Bloomsbury and St George the Martyr, Holborn; however the site chosen was in neither Bloomsbury or Holborn as there was no suitable site available in either of those areas. Instead, the parishes sited their burial ground in the parish of St Pancras. This was one of the first burial grounds in London to be sited away from the church or churches it served. The burial ground was formerly known as Nelson's Burial Ground after a "Pious and learned writer" Robert Nelson (1665-1715) who was the first to be buried there. The burial ground closed due to overcrowding in 1855, reopening as a public garden around 1885. It was Grade II* listed on 1 October 1987. Eight officers of the Jacobite Manchester Regiment who were captured in the 1745 Rising, condemned as rebels and executed at Kennington Common in 1746, were buried in St George's Gardens, where a plaque was erected by the 1745 Association in 2015.

Forge Mill Lake

Forge Mill Lake is a local nature reserve in Sandwell Valley, near West Bromwich in West Midlands, England. It is within Sandwell Valley Country Park. Description The site, area 63 hectares (160 acres), is owned and managed by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, and was declared a local nature reserve (LNR) in 1991. Part of the site, including one of the two islands in the lake, is managed by the RSPB as part of the adjacent Sandwell Valley RSPB reserve. The lake is alongside the River Tame. There is a footpath around the lake; wildflower meadows and woodland plantations are linked to it by pathways, a cycleway and bridleway. There is a visitor centre at Forge Mill Farm. Wildfowl and other species can be seen on the lake; in winter, wigeon, snipe, water rail and other rarer birds are there. In spring and autumn, migrant birds pass through and rarities may be seen. The lake itself, also known as Sandwell Valley Storage Lake, was completed in 1981 as part of flood alleviation measures on the adjacent river; its capacity is 498,000 m3 (651,000 cu yd). As of 2020, the lake is being remodelled and its capacity increased as part of the "Perry Barr and Witton flood risk management scheme".

Croxley Danes School

Croxley Danes School is a co-educational Secondary School and sixth form currently located in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. Admissions Croxley Danes is an all-ability academy school, with the majority of students admitted based on the proximity of their home to the school. Priority is given to children of staff and siblings of current students, however, up to 10% of students are admitted based upon their performance in a musical aptitude test. Location The permanent school site is located on Baldwins Lane, Croxley Green, with an area of 33 acres. It is approximately half a mile (0.8 km) from Croxley tube station. History The school was given approval for opening in February 2017 by the Department for Education, and opened in September 2017 in temporary accommodation on the site of St Clement Danes School. The old maths block of the school was refurbished to provide separate facilities for the Croxley Danes students, with 120 new year 7 pupils admitted in the first year. In September 2018, a further 180 students were admitted and the school moved to temporary accommodation in Tolpits Lane, occupying the former site of the Reach Free School, whilst the permanent site was being completed. This move was carried out instead of building temporary buildings on the permanent site to accommodate the students. The transfer of the school to the permanent site on Baldwins Lane was planned to take place at the end of the Easter term in 2020, but delays meant that the transfer instead occurred over the school summer holidays, with pupils first attending the new site in September 2020. Houses The names of each of the school houses are related to the history of the school site or to the local Croxley Green area. Cassiobridge and Snells are named after former houses located on the site, whilst Jaggerts and Mallets are former names of fields. The land was previously owned by Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, giving the name for Gonville house, whilst Dickinson house is named after John Dickinson, who built a paper mill in Croxley between 1828 and 1830.

Sot's Hole Local Nature Reserve

Sot's Hole is a local nature reserve in West Midlands, England. It is on the west side of Sandwell Valley, and north-east of West Bromwich. Description The site, area 5.5 hectares (14 acres) is owned and managed by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, and was declared a local nature reserve in 1996. The main entrance is on Church Vale, West Bromwich. A surfaced path leads through the reserve, linking to paths leading to Sandwell Valley Country Park. There is a picnic site. The reserve is situated on a geological fault line, so that the terrain has steep sides and has remained undeveloped. There are woods, in both damp and dry conditions; there is a small stream and areas of marsh. Some of the woodland is described as semi-ancient woodland. The varied habitats are home to a range of plants, insects and birds; the marsh areas support plants such as water horsetail and marsh thistle. The name Sot's Hole may relate to a pub in the 18th century, in Church Vale next to the site, of which the publican Richard Reeves was known to be an alcoholic; or to heavy drinkers at a nearby pub The Bear and Ragged Staff in the 18th century. A gate to the woodland, designed by Tim Tolkien, was erected in 2008. Since the site is known particularly for bluebells in spring, there is a Bluebell sculpture, also by Tolkien. Friends of Sot's Hole The Friends of Sot's Hole was established in 2005. The work of the group includes raising public awareness of the nature reserve, planning and running events, and carrying out work on the site. To alleviate the danger of the ground drying out, tree felling has been carried out to open the canopy, and oak and hazel saplings have been planted. References
Swainsley Tunnel

Swainsley Tunnel is a tunnel on the route of the former Leek and Manifold Light Railway, which connected the market town of Leek with Hulme End, via Waterhouses, in Staffordshire, England. It was in use as a railway tunnel between 1904 and 1934. It now forms part of the Manifold Way trail. History Swainsley Tunnel is located between Ecton and Butterton. It opened in 1904 at part of the line of the Leek and Manifold Light Railway. It was built at the insistence of Sir Thomas Wardle, a director of the L&MLR and owner of the nearby Swainsley Hall, who did not want the line to spoil the view from his house. The tunnel is 164 yards long. Its bore is large for a narrow gauge railway and was designed to cater for standard gauge conveyances atop narrow gauge wagons. The line closed in 1934 and the tunnel fell into disuse. The trackbed was gifted to Staffordshire County Council and reopened in 1937 as a walking and cycling trail, the Manifold Way. Staffordshire Council allowed motor vehicles to use the tunnel from 1951, and it remains a shared bicycle, automobile and pedestrian tunnel on the trail. Because of its narrow width, there are enforced regulations on car users and a weight limit of three tons. The tunnel is a popular site for illegal street racing by both motorcyclists and motorists; Staffordshire Police have made the tunnel subject to a Section 59 Notice, which allows them to seize vehicles if drivers are found to be driving through it in an unsafe or aggressive manner.

St.-Marien-Kathedrale (Sheffield)

Die St.-Marien-Kathedrale (Cathedral Church of St Marie) in der englischen Industriestadt Sheffield ist die Bischofskirche des römisch-katholischen Bistums Hallam. Sie wurde 1846–1850 nach Plänen von Matthew Ellison Hadfield im neugotischen Stil erbaut. Geschichte Die erste nachreformatorische katholische Kapelle in Sheffield aus dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert wurde als Folge der Industriellen Revolution bald zu klein. Zum finanziellen Grundstock für den Bau der heutigen Kirche trug die Familie der Herzöge von Norfolk entscheidend bei. Bereits 1850, im Jahr der Wiederherstellung der katholischen Hierarchie in England und Wales, wurde die neue Pfarrkirche unter dem Patrozinium der Gottesmutter Maria in Gebrauch genommen. Die feierliche Kirchweihe folgte nach Abtragung aller Schulden 1889. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg konnte der größte Teil der Bleiglasfenster durch Auslagerung gerettet werden. Eine Innenrenovierung mit Anpassung an die liturgischen Vorgaben des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils erfolgte 1970–1972. Am 30. Mai 1980 gründete Papst Johannes Paul II. das Bistum Hallam aus Teilen der Bistümer Leeds und Nottingham und erhob St. Marien zur Kathedrale. Architektur und Ausstattung Hadfield entwarf die Marienkirche nach dem Vorbild von St. Andrew’s in Heckington in Formen des englischen Decorated Style. Sie ist eine geostete dreischiffige Basilika mit niedrigem Querhaus und eingezogenem Chor. Dessen Abschluss bildet wie in Heckington eine gerade Wand mit einem großen Maßwerkfenster. Auch der Hauptturm im Südwesten mit Kegelspitze und vier Ecktürmchen gleicht dem Vorbild. Östlich an der Straßenfront schließt sich das Pfarreigebäude im Tudorstil an. Die Ausstattung mit Skulpturen, Schnitzwerk und Bildfenstern aus dem 19. Jahrhundert ist nahezu vollständig erhalten. Orgel Die Orgel geht zurück auf ein Instrument, das 1875 von dem Orgelbauer Thomas Christopher Lewis (London) erbaut worden war. 1973 wurde das Instrument von der Orgelbaufirma Chalmers & Hyde überarbeitet, wobei die gesamten Trakturen ausgetauscht wurden. Die Orgel hat heute 24 Register auf drei Manualen und Pedal. Die Trakturen sind mechanisch.

Catedral de Santa María (Sheffield)

La catedral de Santa María​ (en inglés: Cathedral Church of St Marie)​ es la catedral católica de Sheffield,​ Reino Unido. Se encuentra en un lugar un poco escondido, justo al lado de la principal calle comercial de la ciudad, pero da señales de su presencia con una alta aguja. Es un excelente ejemplo de iglesia católica inglesa, con mucha decoración interior. La Reordenación del santuario tras el Concilio Vaticano II ha sido delicada. Hay varios altares laterales particularmente notables, así como estatuas y azulejos pintados. Pertenece a la diócesis de Hallam. Antes de la Reforma anglicana, la Iglesia de Inglaterra era parte de la Iglesia católica, y la iglesia medieval de la parroquia de San Pedro de Sheffield (ahora la Iglesia Catedral de San Pedro y San Pablo) era la principal iglesia cristiana del distrito. La catedral de Santa María se completó en 1850 y se abrió el 11 de septiembre. La construcción de la iglesia costó más de 10 500 GBP, una suma enorme en aquellos días, y hasta 1889 la iglesia no estuvo libre de deudas.

Cathédrale Sainte-Marie de Sheffield

La cathédrale Sainte-Marie (en anglais : Cathedral Church of St Marie) est la cathédrale catholique romaine de la ville de Sheffield, en Angleterre. Elle se trouve à côté de la principale rue commerçante de la ville, et elle est facilement visible grâce à sa grande flèche. Remarquable exemple d'une église catholique romaine anglaise, elle comporte une importante décoration intérieure, avec notamment des autels latéraux, des statues historiques et des carreaux peints. Elle a été réorganisée sensiblement à la suite du concile Vatican II. Elle est devenue une cathédrale le 30 mai 1980, à la suite de la création du diocèse de Hallam. Histoire La première chapelle catholique post-réforme de Sheffield, datant du début du XIXe siècle, est rapidement devenue trop petite à la suite de la révolution industrielle. La famille des ducs de Norfolk contribua de manière décisive à la base financière de la construction de l'église actuelle. Dès 1850, l'année du rétablissement de la hiérarchie catholique en Angleterre, la nouvelle église paroissiale a été mise en service sous le patronage de la Vierge Marie. La consécration solennelle eut lieu en 1889, après le remboursement de toutes les dettes. Durtant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la plus grande partie des vitraux a pu être sauvée grâce à un déménagement. Une rénovation intérieure avec adaptation aux directives liturgiques du concile Vatican II a été effectuée en 1970-1972. Architecture et décoration Matthew Ellison Hadfield (en) a conçu l'église Sainte-Marie en s'inspirant d'une église du XIVe siècle située à Heckington, dans le Lincolnshire, dans des formes du Decorated Gothic (XIIIe-XIVe siècles). Il s'agit d'une église à plan basilical à trois nefs avec un transept bas et un chœur en retrait. Comme à Heckington, celui-ci se termine par un mur droit avec une grande fenêtre à meneaux. La tour principale au sud-ouest, avec sa flèche conique et ses quatre pinacles, ressemble également au modèle. À l'est, sur le front de rue, se trouve le bâtiment paroissial de style Tudor.

Vauxhall Gardens

Vauxhall Gardens (Vauxhall-haverne) var forlystelseshaver, et af de førende mødesteder for offentlig underholdning i London, England fra midten af 1600-tallet til midten af 1800-tallet. De kendtes først som New Spring Gardens, og antages at være åbnet før restaurationen i 1660 og omtalt af Samuel Pepys i 1662. Haverne bestod af adskillige tønder land træer og buske med stier til spadsereture. I begyndelsen var der fri adgang med mulighed for at købe forfriskninger. 1785 blev området til Vauxhall Gardens med entré for at understøtte de mange attraktioner. Navnet antages at stamme fra godset Falkes Hall, som af kong Johan uden Land 1203 skænkedes til den normanniske ridder Falke (eller Fulke) de Bréauté. Efter andre opgivelser stammer navnet fra vintapperen Vaux’ enke som omkring 1615 ejede Falkes Hall. Det var her den offentlige lysthave blev åbnet, hvor efterhånden alle Londons samfundslag mødtes til fester, baller, koncerter, fyrværkeri og ballonopstigninger. 1822 fik Vauxhall af kong Georg IV ret til betegnelsen "kongelig". Omgangstonen var imidlertid ikke den bedste, og Vauxhall mistede efterhånden sit ry. 1859 lukkedes den, og grundene blev bebygget. Navnet anvendtes også for mange lignende offentlige forlystelsessteder rundt om i verden, således Tivoli-Vauxhall i Paris, hvor nu St. Lazare-banegården ligger. Herfra tog Georg Carstensen navnet, da han 1843 åbnede Tivoli-Vauxhall i København (Kjøbenhavns Tivoli og Vauxhall). I London minder endnu navne som Vauxhall Station, Vauxhall Park og Vauxhall Bridge om det gamle etablissements eksistens. Man antager at Holberg allerede under sit ophold i England mellem 1706 og 1708 oplevede friluftskoncerterne i Vauxhall Gardens; i Oxford var han medlem af The musical Club, der gav koncert hver onsdag – og hjemme igen og nogle årtier senere som professor foranstaltede han regelmæssige musikalske sammenkomster i sin bolig, og han har formodentlig været blandt dem der gav stødet til offentlige eller halvoffentlige koncerter i 1730'erne og 40'erne.

Vauxhall (tuin)

Vauxhall Gardens was de naam van een uitgaansgelegenheid met een lusthof in Londen van de zeventiende eeuw tot 1859. Hier kon het publiek uitgaan en was er muziek en vermaak in een aangename omgeving. Het was een parktheater. Daarnaast werd het woord Vauxhall, vooral in de 19e en het begin van de 20e eeuw, gebruikt om er een feest mee aan te geven dat, al dan niet in het kader van een kermis, gegeven werd. Het kon om een muziekuitvoering in een feestelijk versierde zaal gaan, maar ook om een buitengebeuren, waarbij ook vuurwerk werd afgestoken. Etymologie De naam is afkomstig van het laat 13e-eeuwse Middelengelse Faukeshale, wat 'Hal van een man die Falkes heette' betekende. Falkes is een oud-Franse persoonsnaam. Zo evolueerde de naam naar "Fox Hall", "Vaux-Hall" of "Waux-Hall". Restanten in de 21e eeuw Een overblijfsel van de bebouwing uit de jaren 1860 is de homobar Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Verspreiding van de benaming De naam is overgegaan op soortgelijke inrichtingen die bezocht werden door de meer gegoede stand: de Vauxhall in het Warandepark te Brussel de Waux-hall te Bergen. de Waux-hall te Spa Het cultureel centrum van Nijvel staat bekend onder de naam Waux-hall.
Jardins de Vauxhall

Os Jardins de Vauxhall (em inglês: Vauxhall Gardens), no século 18, foi um local de entretenimento adjacente a um salão de baile. A moda dos Vauxhalls, lançada na Inglaterra, posteriormente se espalhou para o continente europeu, graças à evolução dos trajes em direção a uma maior sociabilidade e diversão, pois a burguesia em ascensão se recusou a se misturar com o entretenimento do povo, organizado com danças ao ar livre ou sob pérgulas em locais públicos. O nome se tornou referência a jardins destinados à propagação de alta cultura na Europa. História O nome Vauxhall deriva de um local de entretenimento criado em Londres nos Jardins de Kennington, em 1661, na época de Carlos II e depois reformado em 1732. Os Jardins de Vauxhall eram uma espécie de parque de diversões onde os visitantes podiam admirar uma série de falsas ruínas, arcos triunfais ou pavilhões chineses, ouvir música e assistir a fogos de artifício. Feitos no terreno de Falkes de Breaute, os jardins ficaram conhecidos como Falkes 'Hall e o nome gradualmente mudou para Fox Hall e finalmente Vaux Hall. O distrito londrino de Vauxhall preserva sua memória. Vauxhall consistia, essencialmente, de uma pista de dança e uma plataforma para abrigar uma orquestra e era cercado por passarelas e colunatas. Para atender à demanda do público, havia também salas privadas, lojas de frivolidades, salas de leitura onde se podia ler a imprensa internacional e até uma loja maçônica. O mobiliário perpetuou as tradições barrocas, com guirlandas, pedras, madeiras, fontes e elementos de água, multiplicados por um número considerável de espelhos. Europa continental O sucesso desta atração levou à sua exportação para a França. O primeiro destes locais foi inaugurado em agosto de 1764, pelo artesão italiano Giovanni Battista Torre, imediatamente chamado de pelo público Vauxhall de Torré. Entre 1771 e 1780, um luxuoso Vauxhall chamado Colisée foi construído na Avenue des Champs-Élysées, em Paris, na França. A moda também se espalhou rapidamente para as províncias: a partir de 1774, Samson-Nicolas Lenoir construiu um Vauxhall em Bordeaux, enquanto o de Marselha, chamado Pavilhão Chinês, foi concluído em 1795. A notícia do jardim londrino ainda não havia chegado a Bruxelas, em 1761, quando um balé intitulado Le Phaxal foi apresentado no Théâtre de la Monnaie. O Vauxhall em Bruxelas foi inaugurado em 1781, como um bar de drinks, sala de concertos e sala de jogos. Foi construído pelos irmãos Bultos, que administravam o Teatro.

Воксал (парк в Лондоне)

Об одноимённом парке на берегу Волги см. Воксал (парк в Твери) Воксал (традиционное название, более правильное Воксхолл-гарденз; англ. Vauxhall Gardens) — увеселительный сад в Воксхолле под Лондоном (ныне в пределах городских границ); одно из главных мест общественного отдыха и развлечений с середины XVII века до 1859 года. Располагался в Кеннингтоне на южном берегу Темзы, вне основной зоны столичной застройки. До строительства в 1810-е годы моста через реку из города до парка добирались на лодках. До конца XVIII века официально именовался «Новыми Весенними садами» (Нью Спринг-Гарденз; англ. New Spring Gardens). В 1785 году парк был переоборудован (например, появился павильон в турецком стиле), одновременно была введена плата за посещение. В качестве увеселений посетителям предлагались подъём на воздушном шаре, хождение по канату, концерты и фейерверки. В 1817 году ветераны битвы при Ватерлоо (числом около тысячи) попытались воспроизвести в Воксхолле события сражения. Приблизительно с 1840 года содержание парка перестало окупаться, и к 1859 году парк был закрыт. Он нередко упоминается в классических произведениях английской литературы (например, здесь происходит действие одной из сцен «Ярмарки тщеславия»). Сейчас на его месте разбит небольшой сквер, именуемый Спринг-Гарденз. К этому топониму восходит русское слово «вокзал». Первоначально в России «воксалами» назывались увеселительные заведения; понятие «железнодорожный вокзал» появилось из-за Павловского вокзала, служившего одновременно и железнодорожной станцией, и увеселительным местом, в дальнейшем став нарицательным названием для пассажирских зданий любых видов общественного транспорта.
