Thurstaston Common

Thurstaston Common is an area of almost 250 acres (100 ha) of parklands, wood and heath between Frankby and Thurstaston, on the Wirral Peninsula in North West England. The common is jointly owned by the National Trust and the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. Royden Country Park is nearby and offers additional facilities. The Common is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a local nature reserve. From the top of the 298 ft (91 m) Thurstaston Hill there are views of the Dee Estuary (itself an SSSI) and across to the Clwydian Hills of North Wales. The area is popular with walkers and families. SSSI The common is underlain by Triassic sandstone and the varied habitats include wet and dry heaths, acidic marshy grassland and deciduous woodland with birch and oak. The heath is dominated by heather, with bilberry, wavy hair-grass, gorse, heath grass, tormentil, hairy sedge, pill sedge and heath bedstraw, with cross-leaved heath and purple moor-grass; in the wet, peaty hollows are heath rush, common cottongrass and hare's-tail cottongrass, deer grass, Sphagnum compactum, bog asphodel and bulbous rush. Also present in wet patches are oblong-leaved sundew and round-leaved sundew. Birds that breed here include sparrowhawk, tawny owl, great spotted woodpecker, lesser spotted woodpecker, Eurasian jay, redpoll and linnet. "Thor's Stone" Thurstaston Hill is the location of Thor's Stone, a large sandstone outcrop and a place of romantic legend. In the 19th century it was supposed that early Viking settlers may have held religious ceremonies here. A visit to the site by members of the British Archaeological Association in 1888 heard an account by Rev. A. E. P. Gray, rector of Wallasey, that the 'Thor Stone' was also known in the locality as 'Fair Maiden's Hall' and that children were "in the habit of coming once a year to dance around the stone". This part of Wirral was certainly part of a Norse colony centred on Thingwall in the 10th and 11th centuries. However, geologists and historians now think that the rock is a natural formation similar to a tor, arising from periglacial weathering of the sandstone, which was later exploited by quarrymen in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Tickenhill Palace

Tickenhill Palace (také známý jako Tickenhill House nebo Tickenhall Manor) je historická budova v Bewdley v hrabství Worcestershire v Anglii. Jedná se o památkově chráněnou budovu třídy II*. Palác sloužil jako středověký radní dům prezidentů Rady pohraničních oblastí Walesu. Zároveň sloužil jako královské sídlo. Park, který obklopuje panské sídlo, byl založen ve 14. století. Jako tudorovský palác byl v roce 1499 dějištěm svatby v zastoupení Artura, prince z Walesu, s Kateřinou Aragonskou. Princezna Marie (pozdější Marie I.) přijela do Tickenhillu na Nový rok 1526. Její pokladník Richard Sydnor zde pro ni zajistil úpravy sídla. Za vlády Eduarda VI. byl majetek pronajat Lordu Seymourovi ze Sudeley. Dům využívala Rada pohraničních oblastí a Henry Sidney zde organizoval opravy. V Tickenhillu se narodila básnířka Mary Sidney. Palác byl přestavěn v roce 1738 a začátkem 19. století sloužil veřejnosti jako místo pro procházky. Dendrochronologické datování ukazuje, že některé trámy z 60. let 15. století zůstaly na původním místě.

Tickenhill Palace

Tickenhill Palace (also known as Tickenhill House or Tickenhall Manor) is a historic building in Bewdley, Worcestershire, England. It is a grade II* listed building. The palace served as the mediaeval council house of the Lords President of the Marches of Wales. It also served as a royal residence. The park which surrounds the manor house was established in the 14th century. As a Tudor palace, it was the site of the marriage by proxy of Arthur, Prince of Wales to Catherine of Aragon in 1499. Princess Mary came to Tickenhill for New Year 1526. Improvements to the house were made for her by her treasurer, Richard Sydnor. In the reign of Edward VI the estate was leased to Lord Seymour of Sudeley. The house was used by the Council of the Marches, and Henry Sidney organised repairs. Tickenhill was the birthplace of the poet Mary Sidney. The palace was remodelled in 1738 and eventually served as a 'general promenade' for the public by the early 19th century. Dendrochronological dating shows that some timbers from the 1460s remain in-situ. References External links Photo at Images of England
Tidal Wave (Thorpe Park)

Tidal Wave is a giant 'Shoot-the-Chutes' water ride located at Thorpe Park in Surrey, England, UK. It was opened in 2000. It was the Tussauds Group's first major investment in Thorpe Park after acquiring it in 1998. When the ride was constructed in 2000 it was the tallest water ride in Europe and retained the title until 2002, when Hydro at Oakwood Theme Park was opened. Theme The ride is set in a 1960s New England–style fishing village "Amity Cove", which appears to have been hit by a tidal wave. Throughout Amity Cove, a pastiche radio station named "WWTP Radio" plays rock and roll and surf music from the era (for example The Beach Boys and Elvis Presley), along with parody advertisements, news reports and interviews with village characters. The area originally had many scenic features, effects and visual gags on this theme, though today much has disappeared. At its launch, marketing material described the experience as: "Total devastation: share the thrill of a fishing village which has been devastated by a huge wall of water and is about to experience a second freak hit. Riders, waiting to be evacuated from the disaster scene, will 'live through' the experience of a mega wave strike". The ride's queueline is host to a number of partially-ruined buildings, including a bathroom with a leaking shower, an overflowing toilet and a house with a boat stuck in its roof. The station is built at an angle to give the impression that the building is sinking. Upon leaving the ride, guests are led through an open-fronted shack above the end of the track, directly in front of the splash down. As the boat hits the water, the wave travels straight towards this building and often continues on to the pathway behind. Originally around the splash pool were several large effects, such as a giant water tower which released a torrent of water, the sound of a church organ coming from the spire of a sunken church and a gas tank that exploded with a giant flame. The gas tank no longer operates because the cylinders that were used to fuel the flame were removed during the construction of Stealth and never replaced. Sponsorship From 2006 to 2009, the ride was sponsored by Original Source and then by Dr. Pepper from 2010 to 2018. In 2019, Oasis was announced as the new sponsor of the ride. As of the 2025 season, the ride is no longer sponsored. References External links Tidal Wave at Thorpe Park's official website Tidal Wave at ThemeParks-UK
Seahaven Academy

Seahaven Academy (formerly Tideway Comprehensive School) is a secondary school in Newhaven, East Sussex. The school's academic achievements improved considerably when the school joined the United Learning Trust in 2014, and have been judged 'worse than Bad' by Ofsted. Fire On 5 April 2005, a large fire occurred at the school's central building. Many of its facilities, including the main hall, the library and 40 classrooms, were severely damaged. A 15-year-old boy was charged with arson and burglary over the incident, but was later cleared of these charges. The school site was redeveloped into a single complex following the fire. A time capsule was buried at the school in 2008 to commemorate its restoration. References External links School website

Tilbury Fort

Tilbury Fort ist eine am Nordufer der Themse östlich von London in der Grafschaft Essex gelegene fünfeckige Festung, die in ihrer heutigen Form an der Stelle einer im Jahr 1539 unter Heinrich VIII. errichteten D-förmigen Befestigung unter Bernard de Gromme (der auch den Ausbau der Zitadelle von Plymouth leitete) von 1670 bis 1683 errichtet wurde. Geschichte Die Befestigung Heinrichs VIII. wurde an der Stelle einer früheren Eremitage erbaut. Der Bau der bestehenden Festung wurde durch erwartete Angriffe einer niederländisch-französischen Flotte verursacht. Bernard de Gromme entwarf das neue Fort im Auftrag des Königs Charles II. Die Festung erlangte niemals praktische militärische Bedeutung, diente aber noch in den Weltkriegen der Verteidigung von London. So wurde im Ersten Weltkrieg von ihr aus ein deutscher Zeppelin abgeschossen. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg erlitt die Anlage Bombenschäden. Sie wird nach der Aufgabe der militärischen Nutzung 1950 heute von English Heritage betreut. Anlage Die im Süden an das Ufer der Themse angelehnte Festung hat die Form eines Pentagons mit sternförmig hervortretenden Bastionen, mit Backstein befestigten Erdwällen und einem doppelten Wassergraben sowie der Möglichkeit, das umliegende Marschland zu fluten. Der Zugang erfolgt über (rekonstruierte) Zugbrücken. Im Inneren befindet sich ein gepflasterter Exerzierhof. Zur Themse liegt das Water Gate mit Waffentrophäen im Giebel. 3,7 km themseabwärts liegt das Coalhouse Fort. Literatur Peter Sager: Ostengland. DuMont Kunst-Reiseführer. Köln 1990: DuMont Buchverlag.

Time and Tide Museum

Time and Tide: The Museum of Great Yarmouth Life, located in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, UK, is a maritime and fishing museum in Great Yarmouth and established in 2005. It is situated in a former Victorian herring curing factory known as Tower Curing Works, and is now part of Maritime Heritage East, a partnership of over 30 maritime museums in the East of England. History The curing works was closed down in the mid-1980s, and the building lay unused for almost 20 years. Over £4.5 million was spent on refurbishing and converting the Grade II listed factory into the modern museum about the building's life as a fish factory, which opened in 2005. It took on exhibits from Great Yarmouth's former Maritime Museum, which had closed in 2002. In 2019, the museum set up a British Tattoo Art Revealed exhibition, which features over 400 items concerning tattoos in Britain. A town-wide exhibition of works from Peter Henry Emerson was partially on display at the Museum in 2021. A Banksy mural from Gorleston-on-Sea, which had appeared following the death of a girl in 2018 and was covered up due to "sensitivity," was moved to the museum temporarily in 2022.

Worcester College

Il Worcester College è uno dei collegi costituenti l'Università di Oxford. Fu fondato con il nome attuale nel 1714, ma deve le sue origini al Gloucester College, sito nello stesso luogo e risalente al 1283. La struttura del collegio mostra la diversità dei periodi nei quali è stato costruito e ampliato: le costruzioni più imponenti sono in stile neo-classico, risalenti al XVIII secolo, mentre rimangono diversi cottage che erano le abitazioni dei monaci benedettini del Gloucester College, datate fino al XIII secolo. Il Gloucester College fu poi smantellato a seguito della dissoluzione dei monasteri in Inghilterra nel 1539. Nei decenni a seguire vi furono diversi tentativi di riaprire il collegio fino a quando, grazie ad una generosa donazione di Sir Thomas Cookes, fu possibile ricostruire il front quad, la cappella, la libreria e la hall, dando un nuovo impulso alla vita del college.

Tinner's Arms

The Tinner's Arms is a Grade II-listed traditional Cornish pub in Zennor, Cornwall. The name is derived from the Tinners, with records of tin extraction in the area dating back to Tudor times. D. H. Lawrence stayed for a fortnight in the pub in 1916. The pub sign pictures a tin miner at work, testimony to its origins. It is the only pub in the village. Architecture It is located opposite St Senara's Church and was supposedly originally built in 1271 to house the masons building the church. There is some disagreement about the age of the building as English Heritage believes it was probably built around the early 18th century and extended in the 19th and 20th centuries. "The building is built of granite rubble with granite moorstone dressings. Grouted or slurried scantle slate roofs. Dressed granite stacks over the original gable ends." It originally had a two-room plan with a larger hall/kitchen to the right and a parlour over lower ground to the left. There may have been an unheated middle room as there is a small blocked window to the right of the doorway. The two rooms have been consolidated into one and the building was extended in the 19th century to the left at right angles to the front. It is described as "all low beams and dark wood" with a "warm fire in the winter", and retains a medieval ambiance. Its specials are "Tinner's" and "Zennor Mermaid" (Sharp's Special). The Daily Telegraph notes its "sleepy, timeless quality and the way it's just not changed in centuries." Next door is White House, originally named Bos Cres, or "house in the middle", a Grade II-listed building dated to 1838 and restored in 2005, promoted as accommodation with the pub. Critical reception The AA noted:"Pigeon breast with mushrooms and tarragon sauce; Terras Farm duck breast with braised peas and new potatoes; chocolate fudge cake with clotted cream; or 'Moomaid' ice cream made on the local farm." The Good Pub Guide ranked it 4.5 stars of 5 stating:"Enjoyable ploughman's with three cornish cheeses and home-baked bread, long unspoilt bar with flagstones, granite, stripped pine and real fires each end, back dining room, well kept ales such as St Austell, Sharps Doom Bar and Wadworths 6X from casks behind counter, farm cider."

Tinshill BT Tower

The Tinshill BT Tower (also known locally as Cookridge Tower, or Tinshall BT Radio Station) is a 60.96 metres ( 200 ft) tall telecommunication tower located on the east side of Otley Old Road in the north of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is in an elevated part of Leeds, with its base 192 metres above sea level. It is one of fourteen BT towers built of reinforced concrete. The tower is 53 metres tall and consists of a steel lattice tower on top of a concrete base. It was built in 1951 as part of chain of stations relaying television between Telephone House in Manchester and Kirk O'Shotts in Scotland, part of the British Telecom microwave network. In 2002 it had 16 large microwave dishes providing point-to-point communications, and roughly 50 other small microwave dishes, mobile phone, paging and TETRA transmitters. The BT dishes were 3 and 3.7 metres diameter and mostly transmitted on 11 GHz. In 2002, prompted by a request from the local MP, Harold Best, it was the subject of a study by the Health Protection Agency, who concluded that the radio emissions from its various transmitters, were well below levels which might cause a risk to health for people nearby.
