Southall Railway Centre

Southall Railway Centre is a non-publicised railway heritage centre at Southall in west London, near Southall railway station and the Grand Union Canal. Formerly of the Great Western Railway, the site is now run partly by Locomotive Services and West Coast Railways, both of whom lease the site from Network Rail. The location is not open to the public. Until 2021, the Great Western Railway Preservation Group (GWRPG) leased part of the West Coast Railway section of the site for their own use. History There has been a locomotive shed at Southall since 1859. Originally a Great Western Railway shed (code: SHL), it was rebuilt as a six-road shed in 1884. Demolished in 1953, it was replaced by a more modern British Railways constructed steam shed (Code: 81C). Southall was the last London steam depot on the Western Region of British Railways, outlasting Old Oak Common and finally closing to steam in December 1965. The depot was later used for DMU maintenance for ten years before final operational closure under British Rail. From 1993 to 1998, it was use as a base for the electrification programme for the Heathrow Express. Current use Currently the site, now referred to as the Southall Railway Centre, is used by three independent groups: Locomotive Services: Owned by Jeremy Hosking, the company maintains and operates several locomotives including those owned by the Royal Scot Locomotive and General Trust. It leases Roads 1 and 2 (those closest to the mainline) from Network Rail. West Coast Railways: operational base for several of its preserved mainline-registered steam locomotives. Great Western Railway Preservation Group previously operated at the site. However, it formally liquidated in September 2021. Former GWRPG locomotives Due to GWPRG's closure in 2021, all the following locomotives have transferred to new owners. Peckett and Sons 0-4-0ST No. 2100 William Murdoch Built in 1949. At Helston Railway as of 2017, owned by Portsmouth City Council. Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns 0-4-0ST No. 7386 Birkenhead Built in 1948. At Elsecar Heritage Railway as of 2017.

Southam United F.C.

Southam United Football Club was a football club based in Southam, Warwickshire. They were members of the Coventry Alliance League Premier Division and played at Bobby Hancocks Park, until resigning in February 2025. History Known as the “Saints”, they celebrated their centenary in 2005, having been founded in 1905 following the amalgamation of two village teams. From 1947 to 1956 the club dominated the Coventry and North Warwickshire League. They took the step up to the Midland Combination in 1980–81 and immediately won the Division Three title. When the League was reorganised in 1983–84, United were placed in the Premier Division, but after several seasons of struggle they were downgraded to Division Two when it was discovered that their pitch was now too short owing to the construction of a bowling green next to it. Finally in 1995–96 United made it back to the Premier Division after two promotions in seven years. The 1997–98 season was the Saints' most successful as they finished as Premier Division runners up and also won the Birmingham County FA Vase with a 3–0 victory over Shirley Town, but league form since then has been disappointing, with four successive finishes in the bottom two between 2001 and 2004 seeing relegation only staved off each time by a lack of teams with acceptable facilities to be promoted. In 2001, Saints merged with Southam Town Junior Sports Club, a progressive junior club formed in 1972, which amongst other achievements, pioneered ladies and girls football in Warwickshire. Although finishing in 15th place in the 2009–10 seasons, Saints had finished 3rd in each of the previous two seasons and, in addition, won the Birmingham County FA Midweek Floodlit Cup in 2008–09 with a 3–1 win over Darlaston Town and won the Coventry Evening Telegraph Cup in 2010–11 with victory at the Ricoh Arena over Alvis. The club finished bottom of Division One of the Midland Football League in 2016–17, after which the adult team ceased to exist. The team was reformed to join Division Two North of the Hellenic League for the 2019–20 season. As part of their reformation they moved to a new built ground not far from the old one. The old ground was purchased by Bloor Homes who are looking to develop properties on the site. In 2019–20 season, they were top of the league after 17 games when the season was abandoned due to COVID-19. Following the abandoned 2020–21 season they were transferred to the Oxfordshire Senior Football League Premier Division were they finished second, gaining promotion for the 2022–23 season back to Step 6 in Division One of the Hellenic League.

Southampton Castle

Southampton Castle var en middelalderborg, der lå i byen Southampton, Hampshire, England. Den blev opført efter den normanniske erobring af England og lå i det nordvestlige hjørne af byen med udsigt til floden Test. Det var oprindeligt en motte and bailey-fæstning i træ, men i slutningen af 1100-tallet var den kongelige borg stort set blev genopført i sten, og den spillede en vigtig rolle i vinhandel fra Southhamptons havn. I slutningen af 1300-tallet forfaldt borgen, men frygten for franske plyndringstogter i 1370'erne fik Richard 2. til at gennemføre en omfattende renovering. Dette resulterede i en stærk borg, og en af de første i England, der var udstyret med en kanon. Borgen forfaldt igen i 1500-tallet, og blev solgt til privat i 1618. Efter at være blevet brugt til forskellige formål, inklusive opførslen af en herregård i nygotisk stil i 1800-tallet, blev området ryddet og der blev opført nye bygninger på stedet. Der er kun få dele af den oprindelige borg, som endnu er synlige. Se også Liste over borge og slotte i England Referencer Eksterne henvisninger
Castelo de Southampton

O Castelo de Southampton estava situado na cidade de Southampton, em Hampshire, na Inglaterra. Construído depois da conquista normanda da Inglaterra, estava situado no canto noroeste da cidade com vista para o rio Test. História O Castelo de Southampton foi construído pela primeira vez no fim do século XI, em algum ponto depois da conquista da Inglaterra pelos normandos. Southampton nessa época era uma cidade relativamente grande, mas não tão significativa quanto no final do período medieval. O castelo real foi erguido dentro da cidade existente no local de um provável grande salão inglês, e danos consideráveis foram causados aos edifícios locais circundantes à medida que o espaço foi aberto para a nova fortificação. A cidade de Southampton era protegida por água em quase todos os lados, rodeada por valas e margens de proteção, e o castelo foi construído em terreno ascendente no canto noroeste da cidade, com vista para a foz do rio Test, um importante canal medieval.

Southampton Guildhall

Southampton Guildhall (branded the O2 Guildhall Southampton) is a multipurpose venue which forms the East Wing of the Civic Centre in Southampton, England. There are three venues in the Guildhall catering for various event formats: the Guildhall itself, the Solent Suite and a lecture theatre. History The Guildhall, which was designed with a large portico with six Ionic order columns with pediment above, was intended to complement the rest of the Civic Suite and was opened by the Earl of Derby on 13 February 1937. Internally, the principal room was the main hall which was 143 feet (44 m) long, 71 feet (22 m) wide and 38 feet (12 m) high. It contains a pipe organ, designed by John Compton, which was installed shortly before the opening of the building. The organ is unusual in that it has two distinct consoles: a classical concert organ and a theatre organ. The consoles share the same body of pipes which are housed in chambers above the proscenium arch. At some 4,000 pipes it was also the largest organ ever made by Compton. The guildhall was used to accommodate French troops, who had escaped from France in June 1940 during the Dunkirk evacuation. During the Southampton Blitz in November 1940, the Guildhall was damaged by a bomb that fell at the rear of the hall causing damage to the rooms behind the stage and killing one person. Another bomb penetrated into the basement below the stage before exploding. The building was also hit by numerous incendiary devices. The Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, visited the guildhall during a tour of the city in January 1941 and it was used for high-level military conferences in spring and summer 1944 in anticipation of the Normandy landings which were coordinated from Southwick House. A new sprung floor was installed in the main hall in 1955 enabling the guildhall to become a major music venue. Leading performers at the guildhall included rock acts the Rolling Stones in March 1964, the Who in October 1971, and David Bowie in March 1972 during his Ziggy Stardust Tour. On 7 October 2013, the venue was renamed to the O2 Guildhall Southampton, reflecting a partnership between Live Nation UK and O2 Telefónica. See also Guild Guildhall References
Southampton Old Bowling Green

Southampton Old Bowling Green, situated on the corner of Lower Canal Walk and Platform Road, Southampton, England, claims to be the world's oldest surviving bowling green. It was first used in 1299. History The Hospital of "God's House" was founded in 1185 for pilgrims who were going either to the shrine of St Swithun at Winchester or to Canterbury; until 2011, the gateway housed the museum of archaeology. The green adjoining the God's House Hospital had been established during the reign of Richard I the Lionheart for the recreational use of the Warden, and was first used for a game of bowls in 1299. The club that plays there now is believed to have been established in the 17th century because of the history of a competition known as the "Knighthood". It is also the only club that has a "Master" in charge, a title carried forward from the earliest of days. Bowling Green House, now occupied by Wainwright Bros. (shipping agency) and the Consulate Of The Federal Republic Of Germany, is a Grade II listed building. Built in the mid-19th century, it is a three-storey brick building with a green slate roof with a central cupola on eight Tuscan columns, surmounted by a steep weather-vane. The Knighthood A unique occurrence called the "Knighthood" competition is held annually when the members (gentlemen commoners) compete to obtain 7 points, with the winner being awarded the title of "Knight-of-the-green" and becoming a sir (in lower case). The competition is adjudicated by the members who have previously won the competition (Knights), who adjudicate in top hats and frocked tails suits. Those who win are excluded from future Knighthood competitions. This is the annual competition of the club with rules which are different from the normal variant of the game. The competition used to start on 1 August but now starts on the third Wednesday of the month and is open to all members of the club, except the pre-existing knights. The game is played "roving jack" style in that the jack is placed on a penny anywhere on the green. Each player takes it in turns to bowl his two bowls at the jack. Each bowl when it comes to rest is measured and the distance from the jack is recorded before the bowl is removed. If a bowl moves the jack, the jack is placed back on the penny before it is measured. If the penny is partially covered by the bowl it is a toucher, if totally covered it is a lodger. After all the players have bowled the player with the closest bowl is awarded one point. If he also has the second nearest he scores two. The jack is then reset at a different position and the game continues until somebody has scored seven points. The winner is made a "knight-of-the-green" and can never enter this competition again. It is a rarity for the knight to be declared on the first day and the competition has been known to last ten days. Past knights Amongst the past winners of the competition was the former Burnley and Southampton footballer Tom Nicol, who won the 133rd championship in 1907. References

Southchurch Hall

Southchurch Hall is Grade I listed Medieval moated house located in Southchurch, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England. The Hall was home to farming families until the 1920s. In 1930 it was extensively restored and presented to the town of Southend by the Dowsett Family. The Hall has been listed in Jenkins' top 1,000 houses in England. The moat surrounding the house is a scheduled monument. History The current hall was built c.1321 – 1364, and has a Tudor and a 1930s extension. The Great Hall is still presented in its 14th-century form. At this time the Great Hall would have had a central fireplace, and original smoke-blackened timbers can still be seen in the roof (although much of the roof was replaced in the 1930s restoration). At the end of the Great Hall is the cross-wing, housing the North and South Solars. These rooms reflect changing fashions for more intimate rooms; the South Solar is a late 16th- or early 17th-century extension. The hall probably stands on the site of a much earlier Saxon hall. The land on which it stands was given to the monks of Canterbury in 823 AD, and the tenants of the hall subsequently inherited the family name "de Southchurch". This custom survived until the death of Peter de Southchurch in 1309. Collections In the 1930s extension to the hall, there is an exhibition of artefacts discovered during archaeological investigations of the site. The collections at Southchurch Hall include the oil painting Attack on Southchurch Hall during the Peasants' Revolt, 1381, by Alan Sorrell (1969).

Southdown Road Skew Bridge

Southdown Road Skew Bridge is a ribbed skew arch railway bridge, which carries the Midland Main Line across Southdown Road in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. Built of brick by the Midland Railway and opening in 1868, it is notable for its extreme skew angle of approximately 65°. History Located approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 km) south of Harpenden station, the bridge was built to carry a double-track standard gauge railway line across Southdown Road, which borders Harpenden Common in Hertfordshire, as part of the Midland Railway's southern extension towards its London terminus at St Pancras, and opened to traffic in 1868. Owing to the highly acute angle at which the railway crosses the road the bridge was built as a ribbed arch, a variation of the "false" skew arch and a design championed by French civil engineer A. Boucher. The bridge was widened in 1893 when the line was converted to quadruple track. On 1 January 1923 ownership of the bridge, along with the rest of the line, passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and thence to the London Midland region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It became a Grade II Listed structure in 1984. Following privatisation the bridge passed into the custodianship of Railtrack and it is currently the responsibility of Network Rail. Design and construction The easiest way to visualise Boucher's concept for the ribbed skew arch is to consider a regular arch bridge that carries the railway at right angles across the road and then to slice it vertically at regular intervals along the axis of its barrel, the planes all being parallel with the faces of the bridge, rather like the way a loaf of bread is sliced. The individual slices are then slid laterally with respect to one another in order to achieve the required oblique alignment. While the intrados of a "true" skew arch is smooth and cylindrical, the intrados of this type of "false" skew arch has a stepped appearance. Thus, the need to lay helical courses of brick at such an extreme angle to the horizontal is avoided as the multitude of conjoined regular arches approximate the desired structure. Because of the extreme skew angle the span of each "slice" (known as the span on the skew) is much greater than the perpendicular distance between the abutments (known as the span on the square), the latter being the usable span for road traffic passing under the bridge. Thus, despite the impressive looking span when viewed face on, the usable span along the axis of the barrel is less so, to the extent that the road is visibly narrower where it passes under the bridge. For a "true" skew arch the ratio of the span on the square to the span on the skew is equal to the cosine of the skew angle, but for a ribbed skew arch this ratio is made even less favourable due to the steps in the barrel wall.
