Emmanuel Boat Club

Emmanuel Boat Club (often colloquially referred to as Emma or EBC) is the rowing club for members of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. The men's 1st VIII has stayed largely in the first division of the Lent and May Bumps for the last half-century, but fell as low as 21st in the May Bumps in the 1930s, and has been as low as 28th in the Lent Bumps towards the end of the 19th century. History In the Lent Bumps, Emmanuel men gained the headship in 1930, and although they reached 1st position in Lent Bumps 2001, they were not awarded the headship, since the last two days of the races were not completed due to an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the United Kingdom. Emmanuel did gain the headship at the May Bumps 2001, bumping Caius on the second day. The women's side achieved the headship of the Lent Bumps eleven times (the first in 1988 and latest in 2009); more than any other women's boatclub, and the headship of the May Bumps four times (the first in 1995). Emmanuel's 1st women's VIII did not drop out of the top 3 crews at Lent Bumps between 1988 and 2005, nor the top 2 places in the May Bumps between 1994 and 2004. In 2018 Emmanuel's first women and men will start second and seventh on the river respectively, as a result of both crews earning their blades in 2017. It was the second time in the club's history that the first men and women both earned blades in the same year. As of 2024, the first women were 4th on the river and the first men 6th.

Emmanuel Church, Woodley

Emmanuel Church, Woodley, is an Anglican church in Woodley, close to Reading in the English county of Berkshire. It is a Church of England church in the Reading Deanery of the Diocese of Oxford. The church was planted in 1991 by a group of people from St John's and St James' Churches led by Church Army evangelists Richard and Mandy Priestley. In 2023, the vicars were Rose Jones and Claire Jones. In 2010, District Church Councils were established at both St Johns Church and Emmanuel Church giving a greater degree of independence to each church and enabling council meetings to be much more focused. The District Church Councils were accountable to the Parochial Church Council which retained overall responsibility for governance in the parish. In April 2012, the parish boundaries in Woodley were changed and Emmanuel Church became part of an enlarged parish of Southlake St James. Both parishes in Woodley form the Woodley Group Ministry, and maintain close relations. The change of parish also brought about a change of status for Emmanuel Church, which became a Conventional District in the parish of Southlake and now has its own Parochial Church Council. From 1 September 2018 Emmanuel was granted approval from Deanery, Diocese and Government to become its own parish known as Woodley Emmanuel, therefore having its own Parochial Church Council.

Emmetts Garden

Emmetts Garden is an Edwardian estate located at Ide Hill, near Sevenoaks in Kent, UK. It is now owned by the National Trust. History Emmetts Garden was open farmland until 1860 when the present house was built. The name 'emmett' is a local word for ant and refers to the giant anthills that covered the area until the 1950s. The house and land was purchased in 1890 by Frederic Lubbock, a banker and passionate plantsman. Lubbock's elder brother was John Lubbock, 1st Baron Avebury, a world expert on ants, which may have influenced his decision to purchase the property. The gardens were initially laid out between 1893 and 1895 under the influence of Lubbock's friend William Robinson in the fashionable Edwardian style popularised by Gertrude Jekyll. The shrub garden was added later in 1900–1908. After Lubbock's death (1927), the estate was acquired by an American geologist Charles Watson Boise. He made various alterations to both house and garden but retained the original character of the gardens. In 1964 Charles Boise bequeathed Emmetts to the National Trust. Since then the trust has sought to maintain the botanical diversity of the garden developed by the two men. Many of the old trees and shrubs planted by Lubbock were brought down in the Great Storm of 1987. Following the storm, which had the benefit of bringing more light to the gardens, the National Trust has undertaken a sympathetic replanting programme. Description The garden, which covers an area of about six acres (approximately 2.5 hectares), occupies a commanding site on a 600-foot (180 m) sandstone ridge, overlooking the Weald. One of the highest points in Kent, it offers expansive views towards the North Downs. It is mainly planted with trees and shrubs in the form of an arboretum; a magnificent 100-foot (30 m) Giant Sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) fortunately survived the Great Storm. There is also a rose garden located next to the Victorian house to which the gardens once belonged. The house is not open to the public.

Empire Hotel, Bath

The Empire is a former hotel in Bath, Somerset, England, built in 1901 and designated as a Grade II listed building. It is situated on Orange Grove, close to both Bath Abbey and Pulteney Bridge and adjacent to the Old Police Station. It was designed by the Bath City Architect Major Charles Edward Davis for the hotelier Alfred Holland and built from Bath Stone, on the site of the Athenaeum. It was described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as a ‘monstrosity and an unbelievable piece of pompous architecture’. The building occupies a large L-shaped block. It is six storeys high plus the octagonal corner tower. The front of the building onto Orange Grove has eight bays and the side overlooking the River Avon has nine bays. The architecture of the roof shows the three classes of people, a castle on the corner for upper class, a house for the middle classes and a cottage for the lower classes. During World War II it was used by the Admiralty as a postal sorting office and remained in their possession until the 1990s. In 1996 it was then refurbished and became apartments and a restaurant.

Empress State Building

The Empress State Building is a high rise building in West Brompton in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, on the border with Earl's Court. Its full address is Empress State Building, Empress Approach, Lillie Road, West Brompton, London, SW6 1TR. History The building is named after the Empress Hall which formerly stood on the site, and in tribute to the Empire State Building. It was completed in 1962 for the Admiralty on the site of the former Empress Hall and ice rink as a commercial building and was 328 feet (100.0 m) tall with 28 floors, designed by Stone, Toms & Partners and was briefly the tallest commercial building in London until Millbank Tower was built later in 1962. It was renovated in 2003 to a design by Wilkinson Eyre Architects. Three floors were added. As a result, the tower's height rose to 358 feet (109.1 m). The project also included a 5.5 metres main-south-face floor extension from floors 3 to 26 and the addition of 'Orbit', a private revolving bar on the top floor which offers panoramic views of London. This building was originally designed as a hotel but was first used by the Admiralty and GCHQ. The Directorate of Naval Shore Telecommunications (formerly the Naval Shore Telecommunications Authority) had their national headquarters in the building in the 1980s and 1990s, as did the Directorate of Fleet Supply Duties. Metropolitan Police offices The building is occupied by staff from the Metropolitan Police Service who refer to it as ESB. Among other things, until 2020 the building was home to the assessment centre for prospective police officers. Some of the upper floors were occupied by staff from Transport for London until 2010. An annexe at the entrance to the site housed the Metropolitan Police Heritage Centre until January 2020. In March 2018 the London mayor's office agreed to buy the ESB estate for its MPS operations from Capco Plc, the developer of the adjacent Earl's Court regeneration scheme, for £250 million to house a new Counter Terrorism Operations Centre. Funding for that project was confirmed in November 2020, from 23 December 2024 the building is designated as a Prohibited Place under The National Security Act 2023, it is expected to re-open in that role by late 2025. On 15 October 2019 the building received a certificate of immunity from listing by the then Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Nicky Morgan, which expired on 14 October 2024.

Enfield Grammar School

Enfield Grammar School es un colegio de educación secundaria para chicos entre 11 y 18 años en Enfield, al norte de Londres. Ofrece GCSEs, Bachillerato (A Levels) y otros cursos. El colegio está dividido en 'Upper School' y 'Lower School'. Historia Enfield Grammar School fue fundada el 25 de mayo de 1558. El primer director conocido de la escuela fue William Bradshawe, quién fue director hasta el año 1600. La escuela fue selectiva hasta el 1967, cuando decidió unirse con Chace Boys School (actualmente Chace Community School). En 1970 las dos escuelas se separaron de nuevo y Chace se convirtió en coeducacional (colegio mixto). Enfield Grammar era un colegio selectivo. Grammar school es un término que se utiliza en Reino Unido para referirse a las escuelas selectivas.​ Este tipo de colegios fueron populares a mediados de los años 40, pero con la aparición de las escuelas «no-selectivas» ("escuelas comprensivas") en los años 60 y 70, algunas grammar schools se volvieron independientes y de pago, mientras que la mayoría fueron abolidas o se volvieron comprensivas. En ambos casos, muchas de estas escuelas guardaron el apelativo grammar school. Localización Los edificios del 'Upper School' está situada en el centro de Enfield y fueron expandidas a lo largo del tiempo. Una sala de actos fue construida a finales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. 'Lower School' está situada al norte de Upper School.​ Entre Lower School y Upper School se encuentra Enfield County School, un colegio de chicas. El área donde se sitúa Lower School fue comprada en 1924 y al principio fue compartida con los alumnos de Enfield County. Hoy es usado normalmente para acomodar los alumnos más jóvenes. Lema y sistema de casas La lema del colegio es 'Tant que je puis'. Está en francés antiguo y se puede traducir como "Tanto Como Pueda". Fue creada por Dr. Robert Uvedale, director del colegio entre 1664 y 1676. El colegio tiene un sistema de casas para agrupar los alumnos durante diferentes actividades, especialmente en eventos deportivos. Los nombres de las casas son: Forty, Myddelton, Poynetts, Raleigh, St. Andrew's and Uvedale.

Akvadukt Engine Arm

Akvadukt Engine Arm nedaleko Smethwicku v anglickém hrabství West Midlands byl postaven v roce 1825 Thomasem Telfordem pro přivaděč vody Engine Arm z nádrže Edgbaston přes Birminghamský kanál New Main Line do přilehlého a souběžného kanálu Old Main Line. Akvadukt udržuje společnost Canal & River Trust. V roce 2007 byl zařazen na seznam památek (Scheduled Ancient Monument) a je chráněnou památkou stupně II*. Popis Most je litinová oblouková konstrukce o rozpětí 16 m tvořená pěti žebry, z nichž každé je složeno ze čtyř částí se šroubovými spoji. Žebra jsou navzájem spojena příčnými pruty a jsou upevněna ke zděným opěrám. Tři středová žebra podpírají litinové koryto, které je široké 2,4 m, a krajní žebra podpírají vlečné chodníky o šířce 1,32 m a vzpěry, které jsou připojeny k bokům koryta. Podpěra vlečných chodníků je tvořena arkádou gotických oblouků s kanelovanými sloupky a čtyřlístkovými otvory nad nimi. Kovové zábradlí je ukončeno ve zděných osmibokých pilířích, které jsou zakončené osmibokými římsami. Východní vlečná stezka určená pro koně je dlážděna cihlami se zvýšenými pásy. Na jižní straně vlečné stezky stoupají z úrovně akvaduktu přes most. Stoupající části mají hladké římsy. Železná konstrukce byla odlita v Horseley Ironworks v Tiptonu, kde byla vyrobena většina mostů Thomase Telforda.

Engine Arm Aqueduct

The Engine Arm Aqueduct is a canal aqueduct at Smethwick (near Birmingham), in the West Midlands of England. It was built in 1829 by Thomas Telford to carry a water feeder, the Engine Arm, over the New Main Line of the Birmingham Canal Navigations. Background The Engine Arm was built as a short branch from a pumping station to supply water to the Birmingham Canal, which opened at the end of the 18th century. The original canal took a slow and circuitous route from Birmingham to Wolverhampton, partly to avoid a patch of high ground at Smethwick. The route involved short sections of level water between multiple sets of locks, which caused congestion as boat traffic increased. In the 1820s, the canal proprietors hired the engineer Thomas Telford to improve the situation. Telford built a new main line which took a much straighter route and involved a deep cutting through the high ground. The new canal bisected the Engine Arm so Telford built the aqueduct to connect with it at the new lower level. Design The bridge is a single span of 52 feet (16 metres) in cast iron. The arch is formed from five ribs, each cast in four sections and bolted together. The ribs are connected to each other by transverse members and they are fixed to the masonry abutments. The three central ribs support the 8-foot (2.4-metre)-wide cast-iron trough which boats travel, and the outer ones support the towpaths and the bracing that connects to the sides of the trough. The towpath support consists of an arcade of Gothic arches with quatrefoil spandrels. The eastern towpath is paved in brick with raised strips for horses. The ironwork was cast at the Horseley Ironworks at Tipton, as were most of Telford's iron bridges. History The aqueduct was completed in 1829. It is similar to several of Telford's other cast-iron bridges, including the nearby Galton Bridge and Cantlop Bridge in Shropshire. It is a scheduled monument and a Grade II* listed building, first listed on 8 February 2007, both statuses which provide legal protection from demolition or unsympathetic modification. Historic England called it "an example of Telford's work at its best, demonstrating technical innovation" in the use of cast-iron to allow greater spans than were possible with traditional masonry arches.
