St Margaret Lothbury

St Margaret Lothbury ist eine anglikanische Kirche im Londoner Innenstadtbezirk City of London. Geschichte Die Kirche St Margaret Lothbury fand ihre erste Erwähnung im Jahre 1185 im Besitz von Barking Abbey. 1440 erfuhr die Kirche einen vom Londoner Bürgermeister Robert Large finanzierten spätgotischen Neubau. Die Kirche wurde 1666 im Großen Brand von London zerstört, aber 1686 bis 1690 von Christopher Wren wiederaufgebaut. 1781 wurde das Pfarrgebiet mit dem der (gleichfalls von Wren errichteten) abgebrochenen Kirche St Christopher le Stocks und 1887 mit dem von St Olave Old Jewry vereinigt. Architektur Der Kirchenbau ist mit seiner Seitenfassade und dem anschließenden Turm vollständig in die großmaßstäbliche viktorianische Bebauung von Lothbury eingebunden, die der Turm lediglich mit seinem als Obelisk ausgebildeten Helmaufbau überragt. Wie bei mehreren der von Wren entworfenen Kirchenbauten entstand auch hier eine Saalkirche mit straßenseitigem Seitenschiff, das von dem mit einer durchfensterten Voutendecke geschlossenen Kirchenraum durch korinthische Säulen abgetrennt ist. Die Kirche weist eine reiche Ausstattung der Erbauungszeit auf, die teilweise aus anderen der Londoner Wren-Kirchen ergänzt wurde. Altarwand, Kommunionschranken und Taufbecken stammen aus der Kirche St Olave Old Jewry und werden Grinling Gibbons zugeschrieben. Der Altar des Seitenschiffs mit den Gemälden von Moses und Aaron wurde 1781 aus St Christopher le Stocks übertragen. Die weitgehend im Originalzustand erhaltene Orgel auf der Empore über dem Eingangsbereich im hinteren Teil der Kirche wurde 1801 von George Pike England erbaut und 1984 restauriert.

St Margaret Lothbury

St Margaret Lothbury is a Church of England parish church on Lothbury in the City of London; it spans the boundary between Coleman Street Ward and Broad Street Ward. Recorded since the 12th century, the church was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and rebuilt by the office of Sir Christopher Wren. St Margaret Lothbury still serves as a parish church, as well as being the official church of five Livery Companies, two Ward Clubs and two Professional Institutes. It also has connections with many local finance houses, all of which hold special services each year. History The earliest mention of St Margaret Lothbury is from 1185; it is dedicated to Margaret of Antioch (Margaret the Virgin) (fl. 4th century AD). The patronage of the church belonged to the abbess and convent of Barking, Essex until the Dissolution, when it passed to the Crown. It was rebuilt in 1440, mostly at the expense of Robert Large, who was Lord Mayor that year and is remembered as the Master of whom William Caxton served his apprenticeship. It suffered as did so many of London's churches in the Great Fire of London of 1666 and was rebuilt by Christopher Wren from 1686 to 1690. In 1781 the parish of the church of St Christopher le Stocks, demolished to make way for an extension to the Bank of England, was united with that of St Margaret Lothbury. Interior The church has exceptionally fine 17th-century woodwork from other now-demolished Wren churches. Among the best are the reredos, communion rails and baptismal font, which are thought to be by Grinling Gibbons from St Olave, Old Jewry, the pulpit sounding board and the rood screen from All-Hallows-the-Great. Two paintings of Moses and Aaron flank the high altar, and came from St Christopher le Stocks when it was demolished in 1781. The organ was built by George Pike England in 1801. It was restored in 1984, stands in its original case and contains nearly all its original pipework. The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 4 January 1950.

Церковь Святой Маргариты (Лотбери, Лондон)

Церковь Святой Маргариты на Лотбери (Сент-Маргарет; англ. St Margaret Lothbury) — англиканская приходская церковь на улице Лотбери (Сити) города Лондона (Великобритания); была основана в XII века; нынешнее здание было построено после Великого пожара, между 1686 и 1690 годами по проекту Кристофера Рена. С 1950 года входит в список памятников архитектуры. История и описание Церковь Святой Маргариты на улице Лотбери была основана в XII веке: самое раннее сохранившееся упоминание о храме на этом месте датируется 1185 годом. Храм принадлежал аббатисе и монастырю Баркинг (Barking Abbey) до роспуска английских монастырей — после чего храм перешёл в королевскую собственность. Церковное здание было перестроено в 1440 году: основные финансовые средства на обновление поступили от лондонского купца Роберта Ларджа (Robert Large, ум. 1441), который являлся в тот период лорд-мэром и патронировал Уильяма Кекстона. Церковь Святой Маргариты, как и многие лондонские церкви, сильно пострадала во время Великого лондонского пожара, произошедшего в 1666 году. Храм был восстановлен по проекту архитектора Кристофера Рена в период с 1686 по 1690 год. Храм на улице Лотбери отличается деревянной отделкой, перенесённой сюда из многочисленный церквей XVII века, снесённых в последующие века. В храме есть работы резчика Гринлинга Гиббонса — включая, вероятно, купель для крещения, которая раньше располагалась в храме Святого Олава (St Olave’s Church, Old Jewry). В 1781 году приход соседней церкви Святого Кристофера (Сент-Кристофер-ле-Стокс, St Christopher le Stocks) — которая была снесена, чтобы освободить место для пристройки к зданию Банка Англии — был объединен с приходом Святой Маргарет на Лотбери. Две картины — изображения библейских персонажей Моисея и Аарона — по бокам от главного алтаря были получены храмом Святой Маргариты от церкви Сент-Кристофер-ле-Стокс. Церковный орган в храме Святой Маргариты был построен Джорджем Пайком (George Pike England) в 1801 году: инструмент был отреставрирован в 1984 году — сегодня он стоит в своем оригинальном футляре и содержит почти полностью оригинальные трубопроводы. 4 января 1950 года церковное здание было внесено в список памятников архитектуры первой степени (Grade I).

HMNB Devonport

HMNB Devonport (officielt Her Majesty's Naval Base Devonport) er den ene af Royal Navys tre flådestationer i Storbritannien. Flådestationen er placeret i den engelske by Plymouth ved udmundingen af floden Hamoaze og er den største flådestation i Vesteuropa. Historie Allerede i det 16. århundrede var Plymouth en vigtig britisk flådehavn. Således udgik Francis Drake i 1588 fra Plymouth for at kæmpe mod den Spanske armada. I 1676 begyndte man bygningen af den nuværende flådestation Devonport, der blev officielt åbnet i 1691. Devonport spiller stadig en strategisk rolle i forsvaret af Storbritannien. Under koalitionskrigene spillede Devonport kontinuerligt en stor rolle som støttepunkt under de gensidige blokader mellem Frankrig og England. Den 27. december 1831 afsejlede HMS Beagle under kommando af kaptajn Robert FitzRoy med naturforskeren Charles Darwin Devonport på sin femårige forsknings- og opmålingsekspedition. Sejladsen tilførte Darwin vigtig viden til sin evolutionsteori. Under 2. verdenskrig var der i perioder tilknyttet op til 300 krigsskibe til flådestationen. Efter HMNB Portsmouth var Devonport det vigtigste udgangspunkt for invasionen i Normandiet i 1944. Som en del af 1960'ernes nedskæringer blev flådestationen kraftigt beskåren da man besluttede at fra slutningen af 1960'erne ville alle hangarskibe og krydsere blive tilknyttet Portsmouth. Dette betød, udover et stort prestigetab, tab af flere tusind arbejdspladser. I dag I løbet af 1990'erne lukkede Royal Navy fire af sine daværende otte flådestationer på de britiske øer og flyttede alle aktiviteter over på de resterende baser. Flådestationen blev moderniseret for at kunne huse de nye fregatter af Duke-klassen og atomubådene af Trafalgar-klassen. I 1994 blev Royal Navys amfibiekapacitet samlet i Devonport. For at flådens tre amfibieskibe kunne repareres på flådestationen påbegyndte man i 1995 bygningen af en ny og større dok. Området Flådestationen strækker sig over et 6 kilometer langt område ved udmundingen på floden Hamoaze. Området dækker over 15 tørdokker, fem dokker samt 25 tidevandsafhængige kajpladser til skibe. I 2002 blev yderligere en dok færdiggjort der har kapacitet til at inddokke en atomar missilubåd af Vanguard-klassen. Flådestationen dækker i alt over et område på cirka 650 hektar. Omkring 4.000 militære og knap 10.000 civile medarbejdere er beskæftiget på flådestationen. Flådestationen Devonport er dermed den største arbejdsplads i byen Plymouth og beskæftiger over 10 procent af byens arbejdsstyrke.

HMNB Devonport

His Majesty's Naval Base (HMNB) Devonport (Base Navale di Sua Maestà di Devonport in lingua inglese), conosciuta anche come HMS Drake, è una delle tre basi operative nel Regno Unito della Royal Navy, insieme a HMNB Clyde e HMNB Portsmouth. È situata a Devonport, nella parte occidentale della città di Plymouth, nel Devon. Descrizione La base navale è la più grande dell'Europa occidentale e l'unica attrezzata per il rifornimento e la riparazione dei sommergibili nucleari britannici. Il Cantiere navale reale annesso, noto anche come Devonport Dockyard, è di proprietà della Babcock International Group, che ha rilevato la precedente gestione del Devonport Management Limited nel 2007. Nel 2006 il Ministero della Difesa ha annunciato l'inizio di uno studio per decidere il futuro delle tre basi navali della Royal Navy in relazione ai bisogni della marina, prospettando la possibilità di ridurre le attività delle basi o di chiuderne una delle due presenti sulla costa meridionale dell'Inghilterra. Il risultato dell'indagine, pubblicato nel 2007, non ha però portato a conclusioni definitive. HMNB Devonport è anche la base della Devonport Flotilla, che include la nave più grande della Royal Navy, la Ocean e i sottomarini nucleari classe Trafalgar.

HMNB Devonport

HMNB Devonport (en Her Majesty's Naval Base) – baza i stocznia Royal Navy położona w hrabstwie Devon, w Devonport - obecnie zachodniej części Plymouth. Obecnie jedna z trzech aktywnych baz brytyjskiej marynarki wojennej. W 1676 Karol II uznał okolice Plymouth za najlepszą lokalizację dla nowej bazy i stoczni Royal Navy. Budowa stoczni rozpoczęła się w 1691. Urządzenia i wyposażenie bazy sukcesywnie udoskonalano i modernizowano zgodnie z najnowszymi trendami w dziedzinie budowy i remontów jednostek pływających. Baza posiada 15 suchych doków, które mogą być wykorzystane do remontów i budowy okrętów. Jednym z najsłynniejszych okrętów zbudowanych w stoczni był ukończony w 1913 pancernik HMS „Warspite”. Obecnie w bazie stacjonują okręty podwodne typu Trafalgar, fregaty rakietowe typu 22 i 23, duże okręty desantowe i inne, mniejsze jednostki. Baza jako jedyna w Wielkiej Brytanii jest przystosowana do remontów okrętów podwodnych z napędem atomowym. Linki zewnętrzne Strona HMNB Devonport (ang.)

Девонпорт (военно-морская база)

Девонпорт — военно-морская база Королевского флота Великобритании близ Плимута, на границе Девона и Корнуолла. Крупнейшая из трех британских военно-морских баз, и единственная способная ремонтировать и оборудовать корабли с ядерной энергетической установкой. Характеристика База расположена на восточном берегу реки Теймар, вплотную к Плимуту (эта часть устья Теймар называется Хамоаз, англ. Hamoaze). Общая длина причальной линии более 6000 м, глубина у причалов до 12 м, имеется 14 сухих доков и пять док-бассейнов общей акваторией 2,5 км². Глубина акватории и возможности причалов позволяют базирование боевых кораблей любых классов. До 1979 года на Девонпорт базировались британские ударные авианосцы, последний — HMS Ark Royal (R09). ВМБ Девонворт — единственная британская база, способная оказывать все виды поддержки кораблям с ядерной энергетический установкой. Единственными такими кораблями в Королевском флоте являются атомные подводные лодки. С 2002 года в Девонпорт находится курс подготовки командного состава ПЛ: «Перишер». История Официально присутствие Королевского флота началось с 1588 года, когда в устье Теймар встала ожидавшая Армаду эскадра. В 1689 году указом Вильгельма III был выбран участок для строительства верфи. Сам Плимут был сочтен непригодным. Строительство началось в 1691. С тех пор Девонпорт непрерывно служит в качестве верфи и базы флота.

Park Community Arena

Park Community Arena, known for sponsorship reasons as Canon Medical Arena, is a sports arena located within the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park in Sheffield, England. The arena's main tenants are the Sheffield Sharks and Sheffield Hatters basketball teams, who relocated from their previous homes at Ponds Forge and All Saints Sports Centre for the start of the 2023–24 season. The arena has a capacity of 2,500 seats for basketball matches. History Plans were in place for a 2,500 capacity basketball arena within the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park on the site of the former Don Valley Stadium as far back as 2016. After subsequent delays and changes to the plans, the £14 million Park Community Arena, developed by Canon Medical Systems, broke ground in 2022. A 10-year naming rights deal was confirmed in August 2023, with the facility officially branded as Canon Medical Arena until 2033. The arena officially opened on 5 October, with the first basketball match held on 8 October where a sell-out crowd saw Sheffield Sharks defeat Newcastle Eagles, 86–56. Two weeks later, Sheffield Hatters made their debut at the new venue with a match against Nottingham Wildcats on 22 October. References
Whitworth Building

The Whitworth Building is a grade II* listed building on Oxford Road and Burlington Street in Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester, England. Completed in 1902, the building has been listed since 1963 and is part of the University of Manchester. It lies at the south-east range of the old quadrangle of the university, with the Manchester Museum adjoined to the north, and the former Christie Library connected to the west. History The building was constructed c. 1895–1902, in the style of the Gothic Revival, and was designed by Paul Waterhouse. The official opening ceremony took place on 12 March 1902, when the Prince and Princess of Wales (later King George V and Queen Mary) were present. The Whitworth Building is named after the Mancunian industrialist Joseph Whitworth, who donated some of his fortune to fund public developments in Manchester. The legatees, among whom was Richard Copley Christie, funded the construction of the building and the adjoining Christie Library (the library was completed first and opened in 1898). Exterior The building is constructed of sandstone, with red tiled roofs in fish scale bands, and is connected to the Manchester Museum to the north via a 2-storey entrance archway. The building has two unequal storeys, consisting of eight bays separated by buttresses. It has a large perpendicular style stained glass window facing south. Two 3-stage corner towers flank the window, with octagonal belfries and short spires. Interior and functions The building's upper floor comprises the Whitworth Hall, which can hold up to 675 people for meetings, up to 300 people for banquets or up to 200 for dinner dances. The interior of the hall is also Gothic in construction and decoration, in keeping with the exterior. It has a hammerbeam roof (unusually the lower timbers spring from freestanding columns), a dais and a large organ occupy the northernmost part of the hall, and raised wooden galleries project from both northern and southern walls. The organ was donated by Enriqueta Rylands in 1902. The hall is licensed for civil weddings, and is used for all graduation ceremonies at the university. The lower floor of the building is of a much less lofty construction, and is separated into a number of meeting rooms, consisting of five boardrooms and a council chamber.

Wyndham Court

Wyndham Court is a block of social housing in Southampton, England. It was designed by Lyons Israel Ellis for Southampton City Council in 1966, and is located near Southampton Central station and the Mayflower Theatre. Wyndham Court includes 184 flats, three cafes or restaurants and 13 shops, and was completed in 1969. Design and construction It was designed by the architecture firm Lyons Israel Ellis, with E.D. Lyons being the partner in charge and architects Frank Linden and Aubrey Hume also assigned to the job. The structural engineers were Hajnal-Konyi and Myers and the firm of builders was G Minter. Description The building comprises 184 apartments and sixteen retail outlets, three of which are designated as cafés or restaurants. 122 of the apartments are two or three-bedroom maisonettes, with 61 one-bedroom flats and bedsits on the first and second floors, with the remaining apartment at a higher level, above the maisonettes. It is built from reinforced concrete and finished with white board-marked concrete, with narrow bands painted horizontally between windows and the partition walls that separate the apartments' balconies. Because it is built on a hill, the building has six storeys at its northern end and seven at the southern. There is an underground car park which was constructed from the basements of previous buildings on the site. Architecturally, it evokes the cruise ships which sail from the nearby port of Southampton. Its irregular facades are described by English Heritage as "sculptural and expressive". The architects' use of white concrete was intended to be sympathetic to older civic buildings which dominate the city centre. According to the Royal Institute of British Architects' Book of British Housing, the flats were intended to house professionals, and as a result "every detail was designed for a quality finish including the powerful, sculpted form of the building". Wyndham Court received an Architectural Design Project award in 1966 and was Grade II listed in 1998 despite opposition from the local press. The writer Owen Hatherley has named Wyndham Court as one of his 10 favourite modern buildings in the United Kingdom and his favourite building in Southampton.

The two original lifts were originally manually controlled and the other three were added in the 1970s including the goods lift. All five were installed by Otis Elevator Company. In the 1960s or 1970s a two-storey flat block was built on top of the hotel for residential use. The flats are typical 1960s tower block style building and when the apartments were built onto the hotel. It is referenced in section 3, "The Fire Sermon" of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land. Previously it operated under the Stakis brand, and was owned by The Royal Bank of Scotland. Since 2000, the hotel has been operated by Hilton Hotels & Resorts, and its freehold is now owned by the Topland Group.
