Canary Wharf Pier

Canary Wharf is a pier on the River Thames in Canary Wharf, London. It is located next to Westferry Circus. Services It is served by two commuter oriented services, both operated by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers under licence from London River Services. The main commuter service from central London or Woolwich calls at Canary Wharf Pier on a regular basis. The Canary Wharf - Rotherhithe Ferry, also operated by Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, links Canary Wharf Pier with Doubletree Docklands Nelson Dock Pier at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Rotherhithe. The service uses smaller boats than the commuter service but runs at a higher frequency of roughly every 10 minutes. The ferry can be used both by guests of the hotel as well as by passengers not staying at the hotel. Since 2013 boats have run direct as far as Putney (the RB6 service), taking roughly one hour. The evening direct service departs at 1750. Later services to Putney require a five-minute change at Embankment, leaving Canary Wharf at 17:58, 18:18, 18:58, 19:18 and 19:58. Private charter entertainment boats also use Canary Wharf Pier. Connections London Buses routes 135; 277; D3; D7; D8.

Canbury Gardens

Canbury Gardens is a public space in the Canbury district of Kingston upon Thames, along the Lower Ham Road, covering 14½ acres area between the road and the towpath along the River Thames, downstream from Kingston Railway Bridge. History In feudal times parishioners used the area to graze animals and cut turf and timber for fuel. In the 19th century when material for road building became a valuable resource, the old grazing land was replaced by a series of pits for gravel extraction. By 1887 the site had become an eyesore and the borough proposed a public garden "that the view from the river shall be a pleasant one and not, as at present, unsightly and obnoxious". The gardens were designed by the borough surveyor Henry Macaulay and opened in 1890. In 1891 Charles Nuthall a former Mayor of Kingston, who owned a confectionery shop in Thames Street, paid for a bandstand to be erected. He also hoped it would be 'suitable for a summer house or shelter' Kingston Power Station was built on the ground behind which had formerly been used to convert raw sewage to garden fertiliser. Landscaping work in the 1980s restored the gardens and, after the demolition of the power stations, flats were built on its site. Poplars On 25 March 1998 poplars separating the park from the Fairclough Homes site were felled, a cause which had resulted in protests up the trees, an eco-warrior camp, and a 17,000-person petition. The Surrey Comet reported on 27 March 1998 that: "The first of the Canbury Gardens poplars came crashing down on Wednesday evening after a massive eviction operation costing up to £500,000 and involving 300 police, bailiffs, privacy security men, helicopters and boats." Today The park consists of open lawns and a band stand. Several hard surface tennis courts are available to the public. The toilet block, closed in 1984, has been converted into the 'Canbury Secret Café'. The Gardens have been included in the UK Government's Playbuilder Project, a national project funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) for developing play areas. Also within the site are Kingston Rowing Club and the "Boater's Inn", a local jazz venue. Until 2009, the gardens hosted the yearly Green Fair event where band concerts were held and fundraising for local charities. This event has since been cancelled. The gardens also host a Dragon Boat race. On the bank of the Thames, next to the Rowing Club, is a memorial (erected 2020) for Rosie Mitchell, aged 15, who collapsed and died from a suspected cardiac arrhythmia while rowing in 2016. Buses that run close to Canbury Gardens include the 65. The Thames Path from Teddington Lock passes along the river frontage which faces Steven's Eyot. Gallery References External links Homesite
Canbury School

Canbury School is a small, independent day school in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London with a maximum of 75 pupils on roll. History Canbury School was founded by John Wyatt in 1982. He had previously taught in several large schools with high academic standards and had come to believe that such standards could be applied to children with a broader range of ability. A smaller school would allow children to be more involved in their progress and in the community and to be more motivated and happier. In 1997, Wyatt retired and the school became an educational charity administered by a Board of Governors, thus assuming its long-term stability. Cedric Harben was appointed Headmaster. Further developments took place and, following a rigorous inspection, the school gained full accreditation from the Independent Schools Council and joined the Independent Schools Association. The school building was once a domestic residence owned by Malcolm Campbell. His son Donald was born there in 1921. Facilities The school is on Kingston Hill at the corner of Warboys Approach. It has a new science laboratory and prep room, an art studio equipped with a pottery area and kiln, and access to local facilities for a wide range of sporting activities including athletics, cricket, netball, softball, swimming and watersports.

Сътън Ху

Сътън Ху, близо до Уудбридж (Съфолк, Англия), е англосаксонски некропол от VI – началото на VII в. Некрополът е разкрит сред група гробни могили през 1939 г. Съдържа непокътнати останки от кораб, с богата колекция от златни и сребърни предмети, принадлежали на англосаксонски крал. Предполага се, че в кораба са положени останките на саксонския крал Редуалд, починал през 625 г. Сътън Ху е от първостепенно значение за ранните средновековни историци, защото хвърля светлина върху период от английската история, която е на границата между мит, легенда и историческа документация.

Sutton Hoo

Sutton Hoo, poblíž Woodbridge v anglickém hrabství Suffolk, je místo dvou pohřebišť z 6. a raného 7. století. Jedno z nich obsahovalo neporušený pohřeb v lodi. Našlo se v něm mnoho anglosaských artefaktů, které jsou v současné době uloženy v Britském muzeu v Londýně. Pro historiky je pohřebiště velmi významné, protože objasňuje období anglického raného středověku, který se nachází na pomezí mýtů, legend a historické dokumentace. Využití místa vyvrcholilo za vlády Rædwalda, prvního pokřtěného krále Východní Anglie. Podle mnohých má být na objevené pohřební lodi uložený právě on. Lodní pohřeb se datuje do raného 7. století a byl objeven roku 1939. V Britském muzeu se nachází především nálezy z pohřební komory, například obřadní helma, štít, meč, lyra a mnoho kusů stříbrných plechů z východořímské říše.

Sutton Hoo

Sutton Hoo er navnet på et højdedrag ned mod Deben-floden i Suffolk i England, øst for landsbyen Woodbridge og omtrent 12 km øst for Ipswich. Stedet er kendt for to angelsaksiske gravpladser fra 500- og 600-tallet. En af gravhøjene indeholdt en intakt skibsbegravelse med et gravgods, som overgår det meste i rigdom og kulturhistorisk interesse. Genstandene er nu i British Museum i London, og mange af dem er udstillet permanent. Genstandende, som arkæologer fandt i gravkammeret, inkluderer en række klædespænder i guld og ædelsten, en ceremoniel hjelm, et skjold og et sværd, en lyre og en sølvtallerken fra Det Byzantinske Rige. Skibsbegravelsen har ledt til sammenligninger med verden i fortællingen om Beovulf. Det oldengelske digt foregår delvist i Götaland i det sydlige Sverige, som har arkæologiske paralleller til nogle af fundene fra Sutton Hoo. Ifølge forskere er det mest sandsynligt, at den person, som er begravet i skibet, er Rædwald, konge af East Anglia. Fundene fra Sutton Hoo er af speciel interesse for udforskningen af engelsk tidlig middelalder, fordi de kaster lys over gråzonen mellem myter, legender og fakta. Fundene er centrale i forståelsen af den angelsaksiske epoke og især af Øst-Anglias tidlige historie, og de er blevet kaldt for "en af de vigtigste arkæologiske opdagelser nogensinde". De blev udgravet professionelt for første gang i 1939 af amatørarkæologen Basil Brown på bestilling af jordejeren Edith Pretty. Da omfanget af graven blev kendt overtog et hold professionelle arkæologer ledet af Charles Phillips. Gruppen der udgravede Sutton Hoo inkluderer W.F. Grimes og O.G.S. Crawford fra Ordnance Survey, Peggy Piggott (senere kendt som Peggy Guido) og Stuart Piggott. Gravhøjene ligger med udsigt over udløbet af Deben og Nordsøen. Det største område har 20 gravhøje og ligger på en bakkekam længst mod syd og nærmest floden og havet. Ca. 500 m længere mod nord ligger det "nye" område på en anden bakkekam. Det blev opdaget i år 2000, da man skulle forberede grunden til et oplevelsescenter. I populærkulturen Udgravningen og begivenhederne omkring den er baggrunden for romanen The Dig fra 2007 af John Preston, der blev filmatiseret i 2021 i en Netflix-produktion, med Carey Mulligan og Ralph Fiennes i hovedrollerne.

Sutton Hoo

Sutton Hoo is de plek in het graafschap Suffolk in Engeland waar in 1939 twee Angelsaksische begraafplaatsen werden ontdekt uit de 6de en 7de eeuw. De begraafplaatsen bleken een schat aan voorwerpen te bevatten en zijn van groot belang voor historici die de vroege middeleeuwen in Engeland bestuderen. Scheepsgraf Een van de overledenen was begraven in een 27 meter lang schip. Hij had vele bijzondere grafgiften meegekregen, waaronder: een wapenuitrusting met onder meer een schild, harnas, helm en zwaard, verder nog sieraden en zilveren voorwerpen zoals schalen en lepels, en een harp met een tweetal bronzen ketels. Ook zijn er twee lepels uit de klassieke oudheid gevonden met de woorden 'Paulos en 'Saulos' erop. Deze lepels zouden doopgiften kunnen zijn geweest. Men vermoedt dat dit het scheepsgraf van de Angelsaksische koning Raedwald is. Galerij In populaire cultuur Het verhaal van de opgraving is beschreven in de historische roman The Dig (2017) van John Preston, die in 2021 als gelijknamige film van Simon Stone (met onder meer Carey Mulligan en Ralph Fiennes) werd uitgebracht.

Sutton Hoo

Sutton Hoo (anglosaskie sutton „osiedle”, hoo „wzgórze”) – stanowisko archeologiczne we wschodniej Anglii, na południe od Woodbridge w Suffolk, w którym znajduje się anglosaski grób królewski w formie kurhanu (pierwotnie uznawanego za symboliczny cenotaf) odnaleziony w 1939 r. przez archeologa samouka Basila Browna, działającego na zlecenie właścicielki ziemskiej, Edith Pretty. Była to łódź (90 stóp długości, tj. 27,432 m), na której znajdował się ogromny skarb, będący obecnie w Muzeum Brytyjskim. Prawdopodobnie grobowiec był przeznaczony dla Raedwalda, ostatniego wielkiego króla Anglii Wschodniej (East Anglia) z rodu Waffina, zmarłego ok. 625 r. Ustalono to na podstawie analizy ornamentu na dwóch srebrnych łyżkach. Badania wykazały, że grób należał do króla, który ochrzcił się, ale później powrócił do pogaństwa (co też sam Raedwald uczynił). Kolejnym dowodem było znalezione w sakwie 37 złotych monet merowińskich. W grobowcu nie odnaleziono ciała króla – dlatego pierwotnie przypuszczano, że zaginęło ono na morzu lub w bitwie. Późniejsze badania wykryły jednak w glebie fosforany – wskaźnik, że zostało tam złożone ludzkie ciało, które uległo jednak całkowitemu rozkładowi w kwaśnej glebie. Zawartość skarbu proporzec królewski; ozdobne rzeźbione berło kamienne; złota repustowa sprzączka, ozdobiona bogatym ornamentem z zawiłym wzorem plecionki; złota przykrywka na sakiewkę oprawiona w granaty; złota wysadzana granatami rękojeść miecza i uchwyt do uprzęży miecza; para złotych klamer utrzymująca płaszcz na ramionach; małe, złote, wysadzane granatami końcówki pasów; sprzączki i przybory toaletowe; luksusowy srebrny talerz bizantyjski; komplet 10 srebrnych mis i tac; części liry; wielka okrągła tarcza ozdobna z umbem pośrodku i żelaznym imakiem po stronie wewnętrznej; kolczuga w kroju tuniki osłaniająca ciało od łokci do połowy ud; żelazne groty włóczni; żeleźce topora; dwuczęściowa agrafa zawiasowa, zdobiona wzorem geometrycznym w postaci 20 małych kwadratów, wykonanym czerwoną i niebieską emalią komórkową (fr. cloisonnè); dwie połowy agrafy połączone są złotą szpilą na łańcuszku; brązowe wiszące misy; brązowe kotły; srebrne rogi do picia w oprawie; złote puchary; złote monety, dwie sztabki złota; szkatułka ze złotym wiekiem; pozłacany brązowy hełm z osłonami policzków, maską na twarzy inkrustowaną granatami i grzebieniem stylizowanym na kształt smoka.
